Chapter 208 25-person gold group starts
After hearing Xianyu's speech, everyone was stunned.
Qingfeng Deying: What's going on? Shouldn't the leader lead the group? "
Beer Bubble: The leader just said it’s too dangerous and we can’t open it anymore.
Swallowing Lemon Raw: Salted Fish, can you please do this? Please don’t get into trouble.
Qingfeng Deying: That’s right, without the core group leading the way, can we do it?
Embroidered Fierce Zhang Fei: Damn, who am I looking down on? I’m a level 22 Iron Guard. My combat power is definitely not worse than those generals in the core group. It’s just that I don’t have a nurse to heal me, otherwise I would have taken over long ago.
Angel Blessing: Is there a nanny in this game? Don't you just drink blood bottles to survive?
Beer Bubble: Of course there are nurses, wizards, mystics and so on who can heal, but we don’t have them here.
Swallow Lemon: Wizards are all rich people, high-end talents, how can they be our nannies?
Angel’s Blessing: Isn’t Deidara a wizard?
Beer Bubble: The Five Elements Warlock is a fire mage, right?
Seeing that the discussion was about to go off topic, Xianyu hurriedly interrupted the discussion of the peripheral group.
Xianyu: Stop, stop, stop. Don't say these useless things. Let me tell you, the things in this ancient tomb are definitely not ordinary. The most important thing is that the BOSS in the ancient tomb has been killed. The Tomb King of Corpse that was killed in the morning, you can tell from the name that it is the BOSS in the ancient tomb. This means that there are probably only some small monsters in the tomb now. It's a good time to take action, but if you wait another week and the BOSS refreshes again, then there will be no hope.
Xianyu: Besides, we are not the only ones who know about this. Our branch is a mixed bag, and we might have spies from other guilds, or they might simply be selling information. Maybe the ancient tomb has been targeted by other guilds. If we don’t act quickly, I can tell you - we will be snatched away sooner or later.
Qingfeng Deying: But can people like us do it?
Xianyu: Why not? Are there no talented people among the peripheral members? I think everyone just doesn't like being constrained, so they didn't join as core members. If you want to say that they are capable, they still have some, right?
Embroidered Fierce Zhang Fei: Hahaha, you're right. If I didn't dislike being controlled, I would have joined the main group long ago.
Empire Xiaoqi: That's right, I'm also a beast tamer, so I'm half a magician, right? I'm half a high-end talent, right? When I become a beast tamer at level 20, I'll be able to take off in a minute.
Xiao Jie was speechless for a moment when watching these people's speeches. There are really some guys among these guys who don't know their own weight. They lose their way after being flattered.
But obviously not everyone is like this.
Monsoon's Hidden Flag: Brother Salted Fish, how do we divide the things?
Xianyu: There are usually a lot of things in an ancient tomb, not just a few. Everyone should act separately, and whoever grabs the first thing gets it.
Considering that there should still be some monsters in the ancient tomb, it would be somewhat dangerous to attack the front row, but it would definitely be easier to get the good stuff. Those hiding in the back can only pick up what others have left.
How about it, it’s reasonable, right?
Xiao Jie was speechless. Your distribution plan is too rough. If you do this, people will definitely rush for the benefits and run away when they encounter danger. Anyway, whoever grabs it owns it. If monsters and good things appear together, who will fight the monsters? They will all rush for the treasure.
Xianyu: Don’t worry, everyone. I’m here. If you encounter any danger, I will take care of it. And don’t forget, we have two great masters here.
Deidara: Haha, sure, sure. But let me make this clear first. I’m a magic user and can only hide behind. I can’t grab things when they happen to happen, so wouldn’t I be at a big loss?
Salted Fish: So what do you say?
Deidara: As long as we successfully take over the ancient tomb, I don't want anything that comes out, but I must have an appearance fee of one hundred taels of silver.
Xianyu: Deidara, you are going a bit too far. We don’t even know what’s inside.
Deidara: Didn’t you say so - there are plenty of good things in the ancient tomb, one hundred taels is still a lot?
This statement felt like a boomerang to Xianyu.
Salted Fish: Okay, I'll agree to your request. No matter what the result is, I will definitely give you the one hundred taels. If I really have nothing, I will sell everything I have and pay for it out of my own pocket.
Deidara: Then I will join, but let me make it clear that I will only be responsible for rear-line support.
This is the confidence of the mage. When encountering some special emergencies, magic professions are often needed to clear the field. Even if they are just playing a supporting role, they still have to pay an appearance fee.
Xiao Jie was a little hesitant. He felt that this makeshift team was a bit dangerous.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Xian Yu, how can you be sure that there are no other BOSSes in the ancient tomb? What if a big monster appears?
While asking the question, he also sent a private message to Qianlong Wuyong.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Brother Qian Long, Xian Yu wants to form a group to go to the ancient tomb, don’t you want to help?
Qianlong Wuyong: How can I manage? Xianyu is a guest official, not a core member. I have no right to manage. Besides, if he can really take over the ancient tomb, it will be a good thing, which is better than other guilds snatching it away.
When Xiao Jie heard this, he immediately understood that there must be someone else who was informing Qianlong Wuyong. His words were obviously directed at Xianyu's point that other guilds might intercept him.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Xian Yu still wants me to go with you?
Hidden Dragon, Do Not Use It: Brother Suifeng, just make your own decision and don't worry about the guild. This matter is actually not that complicated. Since the guild has no plans to open the ancient tomb for the time being, the tomb is ownerless. The guild has no reason to interfere with the peripheral members exploring it on their own. However, the danger must be borne by themselves, so Brother Suifeng should be careful.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: I understand.
At this time in the temporary group, Xianyu had already given his answer.
Xianyu: Haha, don't worry, I am absolutely sure that you have killed the Tomb Raider King.
While talking, he sent him a private message.
Xianyu: Brother Suifeng, I am telling you this, don’t tell Qianlong. When I was clearing out the monsters this morning, I found a tomb robber’s diary, which recorded some information about the ancient tomb. The Tomb King is definitely the BOSS inside. If you don’t believe me, just check it out for yourself.
As he spoke, he also sent me a few screenshots of the diary contents.
The content of this log is very clear.
At first, the mine was just a mine. The government organized some prisoners to dig ore and make weapons.
Later, this group of miners accidentally dug up an ancient tomb while mining, and the news spread.
The recorder of the diary, a tomb robber, and several accomplices mixed into the miners' group.
Then they took the opportunity to dig up the ancient tomb, but unexpectedly they encountered a corpse king in the tomb. The tomb robbers suffered heavy casualties, and the rest of them fled all the way, including the recorder.
Unexpectedly, someone in their team had been bitten by the Corpse King, and turned into a zombie after leaving the ancient tomb. What was even more terrifying was that the Corpse King also ran out.
The result was that not only were all the tomb robbers killed, but even the miners who were mining were also killed and eventually turned into zombies...
After reading the contents of the diary, Xiao Jie nodded slightly in his heart. It seemed that there might not be any other BOSS in the ancient tomb. He just didn't know how the Corpse King escaped since the ancient tomb was sealed by an immortal.
Could it be that it crawled out through the hole dug by tomb robbers?
Tomb robbers are not even afraid of the seal of the immortals?
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Brother Xian Yu, actually you could have told the leader about this. It would definitely be safer to act with the main force. Why would you take the risk alone?
Xianyu: It’s not that I don’t know what’s good for me. As you can see, my profession has basically been ruined. Now, the experience points required to move up to the next level are too much, and I simply don’t have the ambition to do so.
Besides, even if you reach level 40, at most you can get a slightly better physical profession.
I don't want to continue fighting so hard, but I'm unwilling to quit the game. I've been reborn so many times in the past three years, but I haven't even learned a spell. Although my martial arts skills are of some value, which game player doesn't know some martial arts?
So I have to make some money before I quit the game. Brother Suifeng, you can rest assured about one thing. I will never take unnecessary risks. I have a backup plan for this matter, so there will be absolutely no problem.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: Okay, then count me in.
Since Xianyu was so confident, he decided to join in the fun. Xianyu was right about one thing, without Qianlongwuyong's core members, the three of them would definitely benefit the most in the end.
Of course, there are still potential risks, but a makeshift team has its own way of playing, which is to take care of itself.
He was not very confident in this team, but he was very confident in his own strength. If he really encountered danger, he could run away if he wanted to. When encountering a tiger, he did not need to run faster than the tiger, just faster than his companions.
If there are benefits, you can get the biggest share, and if there is danger, you can escape at any time, so what is there to be afraid of?
But some things still need to be made clear. Even if it's just a makeshift team, it has to be presentable. The current situation is too playful.
This guy obviously has never started a group tour. He is taking things for granted.
I immediately talked about it in the temporary group.
Yin Yue Sui Feng: I can join, but the distribution method must be changed. There are so many good things in the ancient tomb, and your distribution method can easily become chaotic. I suggest that we still use the traditional gold group distribution plan. When good things come out, everyone bids for them, and the highest bidder wins. Finally, the money obtained from the auction will be distributed to everyone. It just so happens that Deidara's one hundred taels can be deducted from this money.
In this way, the rich can get equipment, and the poor can get some money, so no one suffers.
Deidara: I agree, this is more reliable.
He also didn't trust Xianyu's character. What if he defaulted on his debt? He couldn't challenge him to a duel of life and death. There was no GM in this game to report.
Xianyu: OK, let's auction it. Everyone has heard that the three of us have joined, so what are you worried about? We won't force you. Those who are willing to participate in the event should gather at the auction house entrance at 10 am tomorrow. Brothers, I will help you make a fortune together.
But let me make it clear first, to open the seal of the ancient tomb you need two spirit stone talismans, which is 200 taels. When the time comes we have to pool our money to buy the talismans. It doesn't have to be a lot, just a few taels per person will be enough, and that will be considered the registration fee.
Embroidered Fierce Zhang Fei: Okay, Boss Xianyu, I will definitely be there tomorrow.
Empire Xiaoqi: Count me in too.
Eat a lemon: I'm going too!
Qingfeng Deying: I won’t get involved. It’s better to be safe in this kind of thing. Bye everyone.
Many people expressed their willingness to participate.
There are also those who do not speak and quietly leave the group.
Looking at the reactions of the crowd, Xiao Jie thought that this matter might have to be handled with caution. Xianyu's prestige and organizational ability were obviously much worse than Qianlong Wuyu's. Let's see how things go tomorrow. If the momentum is not right, he must be prepared to run away at any time and cannot let this mob lead him into a trap.
The next morning, Xiao Jie arrived at the door of the auction house.
Unexpectedly, there were so many people coming, more than twenty in total.
Xiao Jie thought that money really is a motivating factor, and most of the peripheral members joined in.
The main reason is that the things in the ancient tomb are really attractive. The seal left by the immortals must contain a lot of good things. If you can get a secret book of immortal magic or an ancient treasure, it will be a big success.
And since it is a gold group, that means as long as you have money you can get good stuff. It's not like the previous guild activities where it all depended on contribution. Without special performance you could only get those pitiful basic points. I don't know how long it would take to get the good stuff.
Xiao Jie also saw a familiar figure in the crowd.
"Hey, Ye Luo, you're here too?"
"Nonsense, how can I miss such a good thing?"
"Aren't you afraid of danger?"
"Haha, even if I encounter danger, can I still run? How does that saying go - when you encounter a tiger, you just need to run faster than your teammates. I can confidently say that I can definitely outrun all of you."
Xiao Jie was speechless. What Ye Luo said was not wrong. The Night Walker could sneak in the dark, and if they really wanted to escape in the ancient tomb, no one could compare to her.
But the signs are not right. Those who haven't left the tomb yet are all thinking about running away. Can't everyone think this way? If we really encounter a BOSS, why fight it? I guess everyone will run away before the fight even starts.
He felt more and more that this matter was a bit unreliable. He hoped that just like Xianyu said, there was no BOSS in the ancient tomb.
Xianyu was the last one to arrive. What surprised him was that Xianyu did not come alone, but brought a Taoist priest with him, who was an acquaintance of his.
Bai Ze (Taoist): Level 28. HP: 620.
When Xiao Jie and I wanted to become immortals and went to Xuanxu Palace to become disciples, a tiger blocked our way. It was this man who helped lead us up the mountain and even charged two taels of silver to each of us.
I didn't expect Xianyu to find this person.
Xianyu said proudly: "Good morning, everyone. Look who I brought here. Master Bai Ze, the last disciple of Xuanxu Palace, has profound Taoism. He is my old friend. How about it? Now everyone has a bottom line. Even if there is any danger, there is nothing to be afraid of with this level 28 Taoist priest here.
Add Deidara to the mix, and we have a double magic combination, so we don't need to be afraid of any monsters or demons."
Xianyu's tone was very proud, while Bai Ze was quite humble.
"Brother Xianyu, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary disciple of Xuanxu Palace, but I still know some Taoism. I will do my best to support you when the time comes. However, as the saying goes, friends are friends and business is business. Brother Xianyu, this one hundred taels appearance fee cannot be reduced."
Everyone's morale was boosted. The two wizards immediately gave everyone strong confidence.
Now, I am a little worried about the value of the spoils. Two wizards each got 200 taels, and taels for opening the door. Four hundred taels have been paid out in advance before anything happens. If nothing good is found in the ancient tomb, I really can't pay off the bill.
"Xianyu, can you get your money back?" Deidara asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem. There are many treasures in this ancient tomb. It is not impossible to get a few thousand taels at random. If you are willing to go, pay the money quickly so that I can buy the spirit stone talisman."
Everyone paid the money.
Including the two wizards, there were a total of twenty-five people present. It must be said that the strength of these twenty-five people was quite good. They were basically the cream of the crop among the peripheral members. After all, those who were weaker did not dare to get involved.
200 taels of silver, taels per person was enough, and two spirit stone talismans were quickly bought from the auction house.
"Let's go down to the ancient tomb and make a fortune."
With a call, everyone mounted their mounts and headed straight for the ancient tomb in a mighty procession.
Half an hour later, everyone dismounted their mounts in front of the entrance to the ancient tomb.
Several high-level melee fighters directly served as the front row and entered the cave first - before encountering the BOSS, everyone was still very brave.
However, there was obviously no chance to demonstrate this bravery. When everyone walked down the mine, they found that all the monsters along the way had already been killed.
There were only dead bodies along the way.
It’s the core group!
Xiao Jie immediately realized that, as expected, when everyone arrived at the first level of the mining area, they saw Qianlong Wuyong leading people to clear monsters and dig mining spots. In addition to the fourteen core group members, there were seven or eight peripheral members following, and there were even a few who did not participate in the activities yesterday.
No matter how dangerous a map is, once it is successfully developed, the danger index will drop sharply.
So generally speaking, the first time is called land reclamation, and the rest is called farming.
Now that we have reached the farming stage, even those who are timid can dare to follow and gain experience. These people are not afraid of what others say and confidently follow the core group to clear monsters and gain experience.
At this time, the two teams met in a somewhat awkward manner.
But I still said hello.
"Captain, good afternoon, are you killing monsters?"
"Well, Xianyu, are you sure you want to go down to the ancient tomb?"
"Of course, I told you yesterday that I would start my own group. You won't go back on your word and not allow me to do so, right?"
"Haha, of course not. Since it is your own decision, you will bear the consequences yourself. Whether it is good or bad, it is your own choice."
Qianlong Wuyong's tone was very calm, and it seemed that he really didn't care about Xianyu opening this ancient tomb.
As a result, Xianyu felt a little unsure, but now that the arrow was on the string, he couldn't give up. He immediately called out and led everyone to the next level.
As we went deeper, we finally started to encounter monsters.
However, with yesterday's experience, everyone naturally had a response plan. The front row replaced them with various axes, hammers, and machetes and smashed them at the mining zombies.
When you encounter a burrowing zombie, you must kill it repeatedly to make sure it will not be resurrected before moving on.
If you encounter a giant zombie rat, use long-range weapons to deal with it.
Although our coordination was not as tight as that of the core members, we relied on our numbers and thorough preparation to make it all the way to the second floor without any danger. The density of monsters was obviously much lower than yesterday.
Everyone easily cleared the entrance to the tunnel. Looking at the dark cave in front of them, Xianyu took a deep breath.
"Brothers, whether you can make a fortune depends on today. Everyone, go to YY. Let's go down the cave!"
