The Werebear Crossroad was originally quite a bustling town, [Misha Town]. Baili Xuanyuan had spent a huge amount of money to increase his support rate to 100%. It would be wrong to assume that the money spent was wasted as when one’s support rate in a town reached 100%, one would be able to make two or fewer policies and enjoy part of the earnings of the facilities in town.
 

When those policies proved to be useful to the development of the town, it would also increase part of one’s support rate and weaken the mayor’s support rate accordingly. When the mayor lost all support, then one would be able to seize the city peacefully and directly obtain all the earnings of the town.
 

However, this town had lost quite a number of its forces during the battle with Supreme Tribe, and so coincidentally, they encountered the attack by the Werebears. Therefore, the town was completely taken over and became the monsters’ nest. That was also one of the reasons why Baili Xuanyuan was extremely enraged against Baili Changcheng.
 

At such a moment, the Werebear Crossroad could be said to be packed. Thousands of Werebears lined up orderly and let out roars. Their fur was pure white, and they wore thick and heavy armor. Their hands, on the other hand, were forged into bladefists with steel—these bladefists provided them with a 20% Armor Ignore effect.
 

In that crowd of Werebears, there was an enormous Werebear, which stood out. That was a Gold Boss, [Werebear Section Leader]. Its fur let out cackling sounds as lightning snakes slithered around, and it occasionally let out an angry roar, which formed a lightning bear head.


[Armored Werebear] (Elite)
 

Level: 55
 

Health Points: 120,000
 

Attack: 938-1,231
 

Defense: 700
 

Special Feature: Werebear Armor (Ignores 20% Defense, Reduces 10% Damage)
 

Both Werebears and the Munjo Ogres inside the Blade Peak Canyon were all Level 55 living creatures, but their strength couldn’t even be compared! That was the difference between hidden maps and normal maps, the disparity in the attributes of the monsters was huge. However, there were too many Werebears, so if they all attacked at once, then with just Savage Blade alone, they would not be able to last. As the saying went,
Even elephants could be bitten to death with enough ants1
.
Not to mention, these
ants
were all actual Level 55 Elites.
 


Bu Yi, have you learned the skill Banish?
asked Lin Jie.
 


I’ve learned it.

 


Star Kill, you should have channeling materials to enhance Stealth Hit, right?



 

Star Kill nodded. He took out a wooden stick, which was filled with spikes, like a spiked club, and then he put up an act and adopted an arrogant posture. He shook his leg and held the spiked club on his right hand, then he knocked it onto his left palm and grimaced in pain, nearly throwing the spiked club away.
 

Lin Jie could not help but laugh. He stretched out his hand to make a few marks on the map.
There are too many monsters here, and when Werebears run towards their enemy targets, they would have a 30% Movement Speed enhancement, so kiting them won’t be a suitable method. Our team’s AOE ability is very powerful, so why not let’s just farm them in the numbers? Take note of the places I marked, there is a town ruin there, which has collapsed quite a bit. We will make use of that place’s terrain to create box-out spots, leaving at most 3 units of monsters to attack. Then Bu Yi will activate Banish for one, Star Kill will stun one using Stealth Hit, and Mixed Breathless will tank the attack of one. The rest of us will directly attack the back.

 


I don’t think such a plan is all that reliable. The buildings here almost all collapsed. If the monsters attack, I think the buildings will all be directly trampled flat,
said Baili Changcheng.
 


I can arrange for the Mechanical Gargoyle to use its wings to cover the buildings, and with Bu Yi’s regen and my Contract Healing, there should be no problem taking the damage.

 

Lin Jie exclaimed,
Okay, then we’ll go with this plan. Childe, you go and attract the monsters. Although it is not a good thing that monsters are attacking the City of Light, it is definitely a good opportunity for us. Only when the monsters attack the city would those old things that grasped the knowledge of their tribe’s secret come out. By killing them, we can obtain good items that we won’t be able to get normally.

 

Childe nodded and handsomely carried his longbow onto his back. His longbow had two bowstrings so he could simultaneously shoot two arrows. He walked, stopped, and walked again repeatedly to find a suitable angle for him to shoot.
He found a spot, stood upright, and placed two Explosive Arrows onto his bowstrings before pulling his bow fully, forming a full moon! The instant before he shot, Childe flung his bow vigorously, and one could only see two rays of red light were shot towards completely different directions!
 

Boom— Boom—
 

The powerful point of the Explosive Arrow was its attacking range, but as for its damage, it was quite pitiful.
 

Roar—


Werebears let out ferocious roars and went on all fours, charging towards Childe vigorously! The Werebears looked clumsy, but their Movement Speed was exceptionally fast. Childe unconsciously used Freeze Traps, he jumped after activating them and charged towards the destination.
 

The Werebears stepped into the Freeze Traps, and the ground was instantly covered with a layer of thick ice. The Werebears’ Movement Speed was decreased.
 

Within the team, Bu Yi and Star Kill were already ready to play their roles. Bu Yi kept on chanting prayers—that was one of the special features of Priests and Paladins. When they used the
praying
method to activate their skill, it belonged to a devout prayer, and thus the effects of the skill would be increased by 10%. However, the channeling speed of chanting prayers was slower than channeling skills normally. Hence, as to which one one would choose to use, it was up to the individual’s decision.
 

Banish was the exclusive skill of Priests. It was the same as the Paladin’s Repent, it would cause an enemy target to lose all of their battle powers and stand at their spot as their soul would be banished. The upper limit of the time Banish could last was 1 minute, and it would decrease according to the target’s Resistance.
 

Star Kill held onto the wooden stick in his hand tightly. As the game developed, the importance of channeling materials was already deeply ingrained. Besides poison, another essential item that Bandits needed was all kinds of wood, whetstone, and so on… That stick was Wolf’s Tooth Wood and not real wood.
In the Wolf’s Tooth Valley, Wooden Demons would kill wild wolves, which passed by them, and absorb the corpses. The Wooden Demons would then gradually change their physique, forming the Wolf’s Tooth Wood. It could increase the time Stealth Hit lasted by 20 seconds, and the next attack would definitely cause a Bleeding effect.
 


They’re coming!

 

The army of Werebears charged towards them, and Zheng Ziliang immediately commanded the Mechanical Gargoyle to fly up into the sky and spread out its wings to protect the buildings. The Defense values of the Mechanical Gargoyle currently were extremely powerful—various effects such as Titan’s Heart had not been activated yet. Each time Zheng Ziliang remodeled the Mechanical Gargoyle, part of its potential would be unleashed, and after a long period of time, that Mechanical Gargoyle was able to overpower most normal players.
 


Oh, Holy Light, banish the evil!
Bu Yi finished chanting, and with the tap of her staff, Holy Light, which was like fireflies, flew to one of the Werebears that was at the forefront and banished it. That Werebear’s hands dropped, and its eyes were hazy, it was firmly fixed in its spot.
 

Meanwhile, Star Kill used his stick to hit the head of another Werebear. Stealth Hit could cause the target to enter the stun state, which lasted for 30 seconds, but the target would immediately awaken if it received damage. Whereas for skills like Ambush and Gouge, it would only stun the target for 2 seconds, but the target would not awaken from receiving damage.


 

Mixed Breathless saw that two monsters were controlled, so he immediately raised his shield and charged forward. He even took the precaution of activating Shield Light. According to the data obtained just now, the monsters’ attack attributes were not strong as even he could easily tank tens of them alone, not to mention attacks from just three monsters.
 

However, Mixed Breathless saw that Lone Wolf had actually used such cautious arrangement, so he thought that maybe Lone Wolf had some plan or maybe… the monsters had hidden Attack values?
 

Bang!
 

-62!
 

Mixed Breathless had overthought, those monsters’ Attack was that weak.
 


AOE attack!
shouted Lin Jie.
He swung his Broken Blade and activated Flame Boost together with Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner, which were both AOE skills. He released a Blade Aura, and the health points of the Werebears simultaneously decreased by a small portion! However, Lin Jie’s attacking range was only 20 yards, the AOE radius was much smaller.
 

Domestic Fat Cattle suddenly asked,
Cough cough, boss, how do we distribute the equipment dropped from farming the monsters?

Lin Jie raised his brows and instantly understood that, most likely, something must have happened to him, which resulted in him lacking money. Lin Jie could not help but smile and say,
Let it be according to damage output.

 


Great!
Fat Cattle cheered and directly activated a Restricted Curse Blazing Fire Rain. Countless meteors smashed onto the ground, and the Werebears suffered painfully from being hit.


Dejected Night also refused to let Fat Cattle outperform him, so he used Blizzard, which turned a huge area where the monsters were into a white patch as it snowed!
 

As compared to jobs like Mages, which had powerful AOE attacking ability, the few melee jobs were tragic. Naturally, there was no need to mention Mixed Breathless and The Heavenly Shield, these two Shield Specialists, but Netherblue and Star Kill were both real and solid jobs focusing on single-targets. If Lin Jie did not have Wind Rider Blade Aura Executioner, then he would be categorized as so too. Although they tried their best to attack too, their damage output was comparably insignificant to Fat Cattle.
 

Baili Changcheng helplessly swung his Ice Crystal Sword, as it slid past the throats of the Werebears, the Damage Dealt did not even exceed 500. Lin Jie took a closer look, and only then did he discover that Baili Changcheng’s level had actually dropped to 30! His level was even lower than the mainstream players.
 


Baili, what happened to your level?
asked Lin Jie doubtfully.
 


Ah… That, I accidentally died a few times,
said Baili Changcheng nonchalantly.
 

Bu Yi secretly messaged Lin Jie in private chat, saying,
He led his members to ambush the Xuanyuan Alliance’s town but was surrounded and killed quite a few times. The last time, his corpse was even guarded by Baili Xuanyuan, and Holy Light Stone of Grace was also used, killing him multiple times. It was a good thing he was saved in time…

 


It must have been difficult for him,
said Lin Jie.
 


Yes… Baili’s life hasn’t been easy recently. We were all busy trying our best to increase our strength, so the responsibility of confronting the Xuanyuan Alliance was basically all on him. Although he has a gentle personality, he is not one to admit defeat. I think he’s most likely feeling awful now, because of the disparity in strength with us…
whispered Bu Yi softly.
One had to admit, girls were indeed much more sensitive than guys.
 

Lin Jie thought about it and said,
Wait till the matter blows over, then I will bring him to raise his levels.

 


I want to go too,
said Bu Yi.
 


Eh? Your level isn’t low…

 


It’s just… it’s been a long time since I’ve leveled up with you. That is… if you find it too troublesome, then forget it.
Bu Yi’s voice became lower and lower as she spoke until it was as soft as a mosquito.
 

Realization dawned upon Lin Jie, so he nodded smilingly and said,
Alright, then we, the two experts, will help Baili raise his level.

 


Yes!
Bu Yi smiled happily.
 


Hey, hey, hey, a certain someone, my damage output is two times yours already, yo.
Fat Cattle looked at his damage output increasing and could not help but show off.
This time I’ll generously take all of the items this time, hahahaha…

 

Lin Jie coughed dryly and silently raised his Broken Blade.
 


Thunderstorm!

 

Dark clouds gathered in the sky, and rumbling thunder resounded! In an instant, countless lightning snakes descended from the sky and landed into the crowd of Werebears. Thunderstorm was one of Lin Jie’s few large-scale AOE skills, and with the enhancement from his Broken Blade, of course, the damage was extraordinary. Lin Jie’s damage output increased and was even nearing that of Domestic Fat Cattle!
 

The Werebears’ health points also started decreasing rapidly. Suddenly, the Werebear Section Leader let out a roar, and as if all the Werebears had received an order, they gathered lightning at the sharp claws of their bladefists. They then grabbed the lightning and slashed them towards Mixed Breathless!
 

Whoosh!
 

Mixed Breathless’ health points instantly dropped dangerously low.
