Chapter 105 The guy who steered the pace off course.

this...

The tough guy was a bit conflicted. They were members of the guild, and although they had obviously come behind the boss's back, they couldn't say that to outsiders. Along the way, they could clearly sense that there was some distance between them and the casual players. Now that there were fewer people on Wang Ye's side, and since he was from the south, he might not be too hostile to them because of their guild status.

But the problem is that their route is indeed riskier.

"I can't make the decision for you guys. I think we have a bigger advantage with Wang Ye and his group," the muscular man said through gritted teeth.

If that route is dangerous and you encounter some powerful monsters, then you'll have to accept your fate. But if you can successfully avoid it, that route might actually be a good option for later cooperation. The most important thing is that you can get in touch with Sword Wind Legend and that senior named Wang Ye and Li Gou Dan.

The reason is simple: after this, they definitely won't be able to stay in the hunting grounds anymore, and the boss won't tolerate them either. They might even turn against each other. If anyone can cooperate and band together, it will be much easier to get by in the future, especially in the south. They can always switch jobs. Anyway, they are all undocumented people on both sides. What's the difference between players from the north and players from Milandir?

"Okay, we all believe in Brother Mengnan." The group of team members nodded in agreement.

"Think it through." Gaining their trust warmed the man's heart, proving that although he wasn't doing so well, his men trusted him quite a bit.

"I've thought it through. Just like you said, boss, the casual players over there are quite hostile towards us. We might still have a chance here. As for Warcraft and stuff, we've always made a living by hunting. We've been around for so long, and in the end, we got taken down by wild beasts. We deserve it."

"Alright!" the muscular man immediately laughed, "Let's do it!"

He quickly led his team to stand on Wang Ye's side.

Sword Wind Legend frowned slightly upon seeing that they were from the Hunting Grounds, but Wang Ye nodded without hesitation: "Alright, welcome to the team!"

Mr. Bright's plan was to split the guilds, so having members of other guilds join was actually a good opportunity.

And so, the team with the largest number of members, led by Hungry Wolf, went to the thorny path that seemed the safest at the moment, while some players formed their own teams and chose a relatively worse route. Led by Wang Ye, Li Gou Dan, Sword Wind Legend, and Black Rose, they took the worst route.

Less than two hours after the Elf faction players were assigned to their positions, the Shadow faction arrived.

The Shadow Faction now consists of thirteen members, including Wang Gou Dan. Seven of them are from the Beihai Guild, but the most important core member, the Shadow Sorcerer Tang Yuan, stayed behind to guard his guild leader's corpse. The remaining six are almost all assassins. Upon seeing the traces of five paths, they hesitated.

The Assassin class is indeed suited for solo combat, but with so many Elf players, splitting up would actually lower their success rate. But going one way is too risky. What to do?

Soon, they encountered the second group of Shadow Players.

It was Sword Wind Legend who led the group, and the other four people all looked grave.

Although everyone has inherited the bloodline, the reputation of Berserker is great, and it would be really troublesome to take over the route. Without the captain, they have no chance at all.

"Oh? From the North Sea Society?" Black Rose laughed. "Didn't you come in yesterday? Why are you still here?"

Having witnessed the strength of this group firsthand, Black Rose dared to step forward and communicate with them immediately.

Behind him, Swordwind Legend and another of Black Rose's confidants frowned. In their three-person team, Black Rose's profession was non-combat type, so she could have stayed in Holy Stone City. But later, Swordwind Legend learned that in addition to her merchant profession, Black Rose also had a mystical profession as a diviner.

This was a great help to the team.

However, this kind of weak profession is also troublesome to protect. The key is that the opponent's movement is too arrogant. The opponent is six Shadow Assassins of level 20 or above. Yesterday, they wiped out the elite of the North Sea Association in one go. Even shield warriors don't dare to move like that.

But the more vigilant you are at this time, the easier it is for the other party to find a weakness. Thinking of this, Sword Wind Legend and Black Rose's confidants exchanged glances and simply let Black Rose walk over casually.

"Black Rose?" Someone in the group recognized her and frowned. "You guys too..."

'

"Hmm... for now... we can barely be considered allies," Black Rose said with a smile.

Alliance? The six looked at each other, somewhat hesitant. In group operations, assassins alone are indeed easier to target, not to mention the fact that when they split up, their strength is dispersed. Of course, it would be best to have an alliance, but their experience with the North Sea Society made them less likely to trust others.

"An alliance? Let's add one more?"

A loud, boisterous voice rang out, and Sword Wind Legend suddenly became alert. They all turned around and saw three more figures not far away.

The one leading them was a woman wearing knight's armor.

"knight?"

And she's a female knight?

Southern players?

The group became wary. There wasn't a single player in the North region who could even get their hands on a Knight, let alone a female player. In this world, any woman who could reach the Knight rank was a formidable individual. Were all the players in the South this awesome?

"What a powerful ally," Black Rose chuckled.

Some things have gotten out of her control. If it were those few guys from the Beihai Association who had lost their backbone, she would be very confident in persuading them to join her. But with these guys involved, it's hard to say.

Swordwind Legend also frowned. These three were not low-level, especially the leader. He felt that the leader was not much different from the official demon hunter team he had encountered before. The team leader of that team was a demon hunter with three advanced demon talents!

"Hehe, you flatter me!" Wang Gou Dan said smugly, stroking his chin. Behind him, Fatty Chicken and Skinny Cat rolled their eyes and stepped forward, revealing their knight armor.

The group was immediately taken aback. Three knights? Could they be government officials?

"Want to team up, brothers?" Wang Gou Dan looked directly at the six people from Beihai: "I just checked the traces, the elves have split into five routes. I have a map here, take a look."

Wang Gou Dan generously handed over the map, which surprised Black Rose and the others. After a quick look, they all roughly judged that the map was at least 80% real.

"Brother, you're so generous. How would you like to form a team?" Black Rose asked directly.

"Let's group them by class," Dog Egg yawned. "My class is Shadow Knight, one of my friends used to be a Shield Warrior, and now he's a Shadow Weapon Master, and another guy is a Berserker who became a Shadow Fiend. What about you guys?"

"The six of us are all assassins," the leader of the North Sea Society said in a low voice.

"Well, that's pretty straightforward, but in the current environment, assassins have a strong ability to coordinate."

"And you, ma'am?" Wang Gou Dan looked at Black Rose.

Black Rose frowned. If she simply said she was a merchant, it might lead to the six people over there being directly recruited by this guy who suddenly appeared in front of her, and that wouldn't be a good thing.

Although it would expose her identity, she said, "I am first and foremost a businesswoman, but I also have a secondary role that can provide some auxiliary functions."

"Oh!" Wang Gou Dan looked at it like it was a rare sight. A support-type extraordinary profession was a rarity, and it was even participating in this mission.

"I am a swordsman." Sword Wind Legend chewed on the foxtail grass in his mouth and smiled at Fatty Chicken, "Just like your weapon master, but only focused on the sword."

"Pretty chuunibyou, bro," Fatty Chicken laughed.

"A little," Jianfeng said with a smile.

"I am a demon hunter with two demonic bloodlines. After converting to shadow, I gained even more shadow-based demonic talents."

.

"A demon hunter?" Wang Gou Dan's eyes lit up. "Oh, what a reliable teammate! How about we go to the Thorn Path together?"

"Why go together?" Black Rose frowned. "The players are split into five paths; are we just going to abandon the other four?"

"Our goal is to seize the Elf Robe, not to wipe out the players, right?" Wang Gou Dan said matter-of-factly. "The Thorn Path is the fastest, and it's also the fastest way to catch up with that group of Heart of the Forest members. Unless that group of Heart of the Forest members is entirely bait, this is the most efficient route. Aren't you a fortune teller? You can divine whether you're bait or not."

Black Rose was taken aback. This guy seemed carefree, but he was actually quite thoughtful. She was also a bit pretentious, so she took out her crystal ball and began to divine.

As shadows filled the crystal ball, a somber voice provided the answer.

The answer to the Elf Robe is in the new map of the Heart of the Forest in the Thorn Path!

It wasn't bait, which means the other side's intelligence was completely accurate.

"We're few in number, so I think it's better to focus our efforts on one thing at a time than to try to do too much. Of course, if anyone has a different opinion, we can go down another path. The three of us are going down the thorny path anyway, so who wants to come?"

The six assassins from the Beihai Society exchanged glances. They didn't want to split up, and after only a moment's hesitation, they nodded to each other and agreed: "We'll go with our senior."

"Great!" Wang Gou Dan grinned.

Black Rose frowned, her rhythm swayed by the newcomer.
