Chapter 99 Arrogance: All-Out Attack
【Shadow Weave】!
Several dark, shadowy thorns instantly emerged from the mud and entangled the sluggish crocodile.
-7852!
The venomous crocodile's movement speed visibly slowed down.
Immediately afterwards, Celia gathered a bewitching pinkish-purple light at her fingertips and gently tapped out—[Succubus's Kiss]!
-10486!
A high damage number popped up and successfully triggered the "Mind Loss" status, increasing the damage taken by the Poisonous Crocodile by 20%.
After two more normal attacks, the tough-skinned level 20 crocodile fell to the ground with a mournful cry and turned into light.
[Ding! Your pet Celia has killed a level 20 Poisonous Crocodile, gaining 200 experience points!]
"Not bad efficiency." Lin Tian nodded in satisfaction.
He found a relatively clean tree stump to sit on, and even took out a bottle of juice he bought in Luoxia City from his backpack and leisurely drank it.
With two hundred elite wolves and a powerful pet doing the work for him, this owner was as relaxed as if he were on vacation.
The wolf pack was extremely efficient at killing. They scattered like a blue tide of death, sweeping across the entire rotten swamp. Wherever they went, whether it was the buzzing giant mosquitoes, the crocodiles lurking in the mud, or the slowly moving mud monsters, they were all quickly torn to shreds.
Tips on experience points and the acquisition of power of dominance scrolled around like a screen full of notifications.
Lin Tian only needs to raise his hand occasionally to use [Universal Pull] or [Star Ray] to clear out corners that the wolf pack can't reach for the time being, or to instantly kill those monsters that try to emerge from underground to ambush him.
Time flew by as they efficiently farmed monsters.
More than an hour later, a large area of the huge rotten swamp had been cleared out, and the monster respawn rate could not keep up with the speed at which the wolf pack and Celia were clearing it.
"There aren't enough monsters to kill in this place." Lin Tian stood up and patted off non-existent dust from his buttocks.
He glanced at his sin rating: 18.
The efficiency is acceptable.
He rode the white tiger, leading Celia and a vast wolf pack, to another adjacent level 20 map—[Windy Cliffs].
The terrain here is steep, the wind howls, and it is home to a large number of Wind Howlers, Rock Claw Vultures, and Ridge Stone Monsters.
The same process is being repeated.
The wolves fearlessly pounced on the raptors swooping down, while Celia skillfully used the shadows to move about and pick off enemies high above.
Lin Tian occasionally makes a move, clearing out an area with massive beams of starlight or gravitational vortexes.
Another hour or so passed.
After the last level 22 [Ridge Stone Monster] was pounced on and torn apart by more than a dozen ghost wolves, Lin Tian's system notification finally changed.
[Ding! Congratulations on reaching level 16!]
[Ding! Your pet Celia has reached level 15!]
Your sin points have been completely cleared!
"Finally finished." Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't do much physical combat during those two hours of intense monster-hunting, he still needed to keep a close eye on the battlefield.
He opened the attribute panel, added all the attribute points gained from leveling up to Intelligence as usual, and then adjusted the experience distribution ratio back to 5:5.
Looking at his own level 16 and Celia's level 15, Lin Tian couldn't help but complain:
"Leveling up in this 'World Conquest' game is way too slow. With my stats, I spent over two hours grinding super-efficiently level-up monsters and only gained a little over one level. An average player teaming up to grind monsters of the same level probably wouldn't even gain one level in a day, right?"
But then I thought about it again, and this is a "real game" after all, so it's understandable that leveling up is a bit slow.
However, this speed is indeed a bit grueling for someone who is used to a fast pace.
"Celia, you're back. Let's head back to the city," Lin Tian called out.
"Here I am, Brother Tian!" Celia's figure flashed out from the shadow of a giant rock and landed lightly beside him. Her face was slightly flushed from exercise, making her look even more beautiful and charming.
Lin Tian waved his hand to disperse the wolf pack and summoned the Blazing White Tiger again. The two mounted the tiger and leisurely headed towards Luoxia City.
......
Meanwhile, in Luoxia City.
The gathering of the Aoshi Guild is nearing its end.
Nearly two hundred people had gathered in the central square, attracting the attention of passing players who whispered among themselves.
"What is this arrogant person up to? Such a big show of force?"
"I heard they got wiped out by a powerful figure outside the city. Are they going to get revenge?"
"Holy crap? Who's that strong? One person wiped out an entire Aoshi regiment?"
"It seems to be a mage named Lin Tian, and he's with a super fierce-looking beauty!"
"Lin Tian? Never heard of him. I don't think he's on the rankings."
"Probably a hidden master! This is going to be interesting!"
At the front of the group, Ye Shen listened to Zhang Jing's report with a gloomy expression.
"Brother Shen, most of the brothers we could call are here, a total of 198 people! There are also more than 30 elites who are in a critical moment in the dungeon and can't get away for the time being," Zhang Jing said cautiously.
Ye Shen nodded, his gaze sweeping over the group of guild members in front of him.
The quality of personnel varies, and the equipment is a mixed bag.
Fortunately, there were enough people, nearly two hundred in total.
He took a deep breath, jumped onto a flower bed in the center of the square, and, looking down from above, shouted at the top of his lungs:
"My proud brothers!"
The noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and all eyes were focused on Ye Shen.
"Today, our guild members were leveling up normally outside the city when they were ambushed without provocation by a red-named player named Lin Tian, resulting in the wiping out of more than twenty of us!"
Ye Shen's voice was filled with grief, indignation, and suppressed anger.
"They lost all the levels they painstakingly leveled up! And all the equipment they worked so hard to get was destroyed! Can we just let this go like this?"
"No!" immediately a tortoise shouted from below.
"Fuck him!" More members, their emotions stirred up, roared in response.
"That's right! It doesn't count!" Ye Shen clenched his fist heavily.
"Our Aoshi Guild doesn't cause trouble, but we're absolutely not afraid of it either! Today, I, Ye Shen, declare here that we must avenge this humiliation! We want everyone to know that anyone who dares to mess with Aoshi will pay a heavy price!"
He paused, then raised his voice even higher: "That Lin Tian is still a red-named player! He killed so many of our brothers, his sin value must be terrifyingly high! Red-named players have an extremely high drop rate when they die! With his strength, his equipment must be top-tier among top-tier items!"
Upon hearing this, everyone below began to breathe heavily, their eyes gleaming with greed.
Who wouldn't want those ridiculously powerful pieces of equipment on the equipment leaderboard?
"I declare!" Ye Shen, seeing that the desired effect had been achieved, waved his hand sharply.
