Traveling through the game world

"What a beautiful melody, what a tragic loss of a hero!" Nicholas sighed as he watched the demon executioner Jarvan's body gradually dissipate.

Turning his head, Nicholas asked the bard Alice, "I feel that the anger in my heart has dissipated a lot under your music, and I have been purified?"

It's important to know that Nicholas was also one of those resurrected by the Black Nightmare, and the Black Nightmare lurking within his body had always been a source of deep anxiety for him.

Shaking her head, the bard Alice said, "No, your situation is more complicated than that of the demon executioner Jarvan. The power that resurrected you isn't simply the Black Nightmare, and I also sense that the Black Nightmare within you isn't pure. I'm sorry, I can't help you for now."

Lian Yang casually hooked his arm around Nicholas's shoulder and said nonchalantly, "Isn't everything fine now? Why are you still thinking about that black nightmare? Let me tell you, living is justice!"

After spending some time together, Lian Yang realized that the arrogant Nicholas actually had a soft heart. Of course, being of royal lineage, he could still be quite calculating at times. But regardless, so far, Nicholas had been a reliable friend.

Meanwhile, all the surviving dark elves fell into a coma under the strains of the bard Alice's harp music, but it was true that the black nightmare had been expelled from their bodies.

As for the coma, and the deep coma at that, it was obviously intentional on the part of the bard Alice. Whatever the reason, Lian Yang and his group, who went on a killing spree, killed so many dark elves that these awakened dark elves could not accept this reality.

It would be better to let them lie there for now, and wake them up after the matter of the Hero's Tomb is resolved and Lian Yang and the others have left.

Seeing the bard Alice give Lian Yang a reassuring look and nod, Lian Yang continued to lead the group deeper into the Heroes' Tomb.

The pitch-black cave, illuminated only by the faint glowstone light, remained fraught with danger, but this time the group consciously surrounded Alice in the center.

Even though Lian Yang knew Alice was very powerful, he was still worried that she might be assassinated. This made him uneasy, wondering if he had changed.

"Bang bang bang!" A barrage of attacks suddenly came crashing down on Lian Yang and his group. This time, it wasn't assassins, but an ambush.

Upon being attacked, Paladin Arthur decisively drew his cross, and a series of Guardian Badges slowly healed and bestowed Blessings, easily buffing everyone. He then immediately switched back to his beloved Doomsday Scythe.

Looking at the densely packed adventurers rushing towards him from all sides, Lian Yang, who had already received his buffs, complained, "You guys are pretty good at hiding, huh? It turns out you've surrounded me."

Although the enemy attacked suddenly and outnumbered them, Lian Yang wasn't bothered at all. In fact, he was pleased that these adventurers' average level was higher than the Dark Elf Guard. Not only Lian Yang, but even Baron and the others were excited.

You ask why? Although the battle at the Hero's Tomb was tense and fierce, Lian Yang actually gained a lot because of his level disadvantage. The most obvious benefit was that he had leveled up from level 35 to level 39 (73). Lian Yang believed that as long as he eliminated this wave of attackers, he would definitely reach level 40.

Under the effect of the Master Contract, level 40 is almost the last hurdle before awakening. Upon reaching level 40, the Sword Master's strongest pre-awakening skill, Phantom Sword Dance, and the Berserker's strongest skill, Mountain Crash and Earth Shattering Slash, will both be unlocked. Although there are no stronger equipment to replace it at the moment, the acquisition of new skills alone will allow Lian Yang to experience a qualitative leap in level.

Not to mention, once you reach level 40, you'll definitely unlock a new system. The items in the shop are almost all unlocked now, and Lian Yang is really looking forward to seeing what new items will be added to him.

Lian Yang's plan was quite rosy, but the adventurers lying in ambush were even happier. In their eyes, the target was nothing more than five level 40s, while their average level was over 45. The level difference alone was overwhelming. Not to mention, they had over a hundred people on their side.

It seems to be a common tactic in Arad: the melee swordsmen, ghost swordsmen, and fighters desperately surround the five Lian Yang members, while the ranged adventurers bombard them relentlessly.

Faced with this tactic, Lian Yang was speechless. When did he, Lian Yang, become a boss that required tactics to defeat? Besides, he wasn't even as huge as the invincible bosses in the game.

The fierce battle continued, and all the adventurers who had been lying in ambush had emerged. Lian Yang glanced at them and chuckled; there were nearly a hundred of them. Their levels varied, but reaching level 40 shouldn't be a problem.

This group of people were of course Gissman's. Although the previous assassins were dead, they would leave behind a unique signal before each assassination to inform Lian Yang and the others of their location.

Using these signals and the aftershocks of the earlier battle, Gissman easily pinpointed Lian Yang's location. He had actually intended to join the fray, but he'd only gotten halfway there when he discovered the fighting was over. He was forced to prepare an ambush.

Of course, the silent assassination might have left Lian Yang and his companions with lingering fear, but in this kind of open battle, well, as long as the opponent's level is above awakened, numbers are just a number. With a full set of powerful +10 purple gear, unawakened adventurers simply cannot kill Lian Yang and his group instantly.

It has to be said that Gissman is quite skilled; despite the hasty ambush, he managed to take away more than 50% of Lian Yang and his companions' health in one fell swoop. If it weren't for the automatic healing system, Lian Yang and his team would almost certainly have been wiped out given their current strength.

Standing outside the fighting area, Gissman shouted, "Lian Yang, to be honest, I really don't want to kill you, because killing you is just too much trouble."

As Lian Yang swiftly dispatched a melee fighter with a single sword strike, he nonchalantly remarked, "Whether your men can take me down is another matter entirely. Don't try to play the victim. I knew you were behind this ambush."

There are only a handful of relatively powerful adventurer factions that have entered the Hero's Tomb. Besides Gissman Lianyang, it's hard to imagine anyone else who would be so bored as to go to such lengths to assassinate or ambush someone.

Lian Yang spoke casually, seemingly unconcerned about the battle, while Gissman, who had remained silent throughout, was even less concerned. He said indifferently, "You really are stubborn. Even if you're about to die, you won't back down. Although you might back down, I still won't let you off the hook. Who told you to block Shaplen's path?"

Gissman is not Reddinghman. Even though the tide of battle is currently turning in his favor, he is still prepared for a comeback, so he directly betrayed Shaplen. "The grievances have their perpetrators, the debts have their debtors; I'm a gun, so if you want revenge, go find Shaplen."

"Pfft!" Lian Yang chuckled in the midst of the battle, "Then I should thank you for letting me die knowing the truth. Don't worry, it won't be long after I take you all down, and I'll send Shaplen to join you."

As it is an adventurers' guild, Gissman's men are a diverse group with all sorts of professions. Although their teamwork is relatively good, Lian Yang and the others are also quite cooperative.

As the battle continued, Gissman's complexion grew increasingly grim. His worst fears had come true. Despite having overestimated Lian Yang's strength, he had still underestimated him.

Seeing the more than 30 adventurers already fallen, Gissman felt as if his heart was being torn apart. These were all his trusted men. He immediately shouted, "Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Gissman understood perfectly well that if this continued, given the lack of fatigue shown by Lian Yang and the others, all one hundred or so men would likely perish here. He saw no mortal enmity between himself and Lian Yang, so he saw no reason to risk everything to kill him.

Upon hearing Gissman's order, the adventurers, already nearly terrified by the formidable fighting power of the five men and one dog, turned tail and ran. They wished they had an extra leg. Powerful enemies can ignite a person's fighting spirit, but overwhelmingly powerful enemies can only instill despair.

"Welcome back next time!" Watching the adventurer flee, Lian Yang was too lazy to chase after him. He stood there and said goodbye with a cheerful smile, as if he were saying goodbye to a good friend.

"Pfft!" While fleeing, Gissman heard Lian Yang's goodbye and suddenly choked on his breath, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He hated Shaplen to the core. If it weren't for Shaplen, Gissman wouldn't have been so humiliated by Lian Yang.
