Chapter 187 - Time to Change the Tides

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Bro, what are you going to do this time?”

Clutch King licked his lips and looked at Li Yi excitedly.

Li Yi had only brought Clutch King, Dream Seeker, and Positive Barry with him this time.

There were still a lot of things to deal with in the station’s base.

He could not bring everyone with him.

This time, he had received a distress call from Sun Conqueror.

Li Yi understood what was going on.

The same thing was happening in his previous life. The Scorching Sun Guild had suffered a large-scale sneak attack, causing the strength of the entire guild to drop.

Although the guild slowly recovered, the gap between them and other guilds was big.

If not for the fact that everyone’s levels were about to reach the later stages of the game, the Scorching Sun Guild would have ended long ago.

This time, it was clear who the culprit was.

The location of the attack had also been confirmed.

Now, it was time to turn the tables and change the tides.

Li Yi and the others wore masks and cloaks to hide their identities.

They arrived at a relatively secluded forest outside of the capital.

This was the only way out of the capital.

This was the best place to strike.

It was also the spot where the Scorching Sun Guild members had been attacked.

The trees here were very tall and the bushes were thick.

If they did not gather together before leaving, it would be very difficult to find their teammates positions.

This was also the reason why there were only a few of them with Li Yi. With this amount of players, it would not be a problem for them to hide and not be discovered.

Moreover, they also had Dream Seeker’s hidden skill. 

As long as the other three players hid well, they would be able to trap them while they waited for the ambushers to appear.

Following their plan, the members of Sun Conqueror appeared once again at the exit of Emperor City.

A few players walked out with hesitation.

“Hey, do you think they’re here yet?”

“Of course they’re here. It’s not like our Guild Leader would lie to us. He even assured us that we will definitely give those bad guys what they deserve.”

These few members were all new players. They had only joined the guild a week ago.

They had yet to see Li Yi and the others appearances.

They had only heard that Li Yi had a close relationship with Sun Conqueror.

Before they volunteered as bait, they had specially inquired about Li Yi’s characteristics.

He was someone with a greatsword filled with a deathly aura and a pitch-black shield.

Throughout their journey, they had been observing if there was anyone similar to them. However, until now, they had yet to find anyone similar.

They could not help but feel anxious.

Most of them were around level 25.

In the guild, they were considered above average.

They were not the guild’s elites when it came to raiding dungeons.

Hence, they were tasked to complete this bait operation.

This was also the first time the guild leader had personally given them a mission.

At first, they were excited, but now that they had really come out, they were afraid.

After all, they were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, standing out in the open.

They would not know when someone would sneak up on them from behind.

This unknown fear made them feel anxious. If not for the fact that they know someone was going to save them, they might have already prepared to retreat.

After all, their savior was the strongest player in Emperor City. If they were able to meet him and ask for an autograph, all this would be worth it.

However, until now, they had not even seen a single person.

“Hey, do you think those bad guys will be here?”

“They will. The Guild Leader has already told us that the other party will definitely appear. Let’s walk a little further down. Perhaps we’re too close to the city, and those guys won’t even dare to appear.”

After saying that, the few of them huddled into a group and began to move forward in fear.

The weather in Divine Revelation had four seasons every month.

It was currently winter.

Emperor City was located in the south. There was no snow or ice in winter.

However, the chilly temperature indicated otherwise.

Waves of cold air blew in from the wind. That chill coupled with the heavy and cold armor made it difficult for the players to walk.

Even in this weather, there were still many players who came online to grind and level up.

After all, the threshold to level 30 had already been opened.

Everyone wanted to rush to level 30 and go to the second transition as soon as possible.

Of course, these players who were grinding monsters would only focus on their own task. There were players everywhere, but no one paid any attention to these guys who were huddled together.

“These guys are boring. They’re huddled together and obviously waiting for their opponents to come and fight them.”

Standing on a tall branch, Clutch King looked down at everything below.

When these members of the Scorching Sun Guild appeared, Clutch King immediately noticed them.

He had thought that the fight would start soon.

However, now, watching them still huddled together eyeing their surroundings made them suspicious. As though they were waiting for someone to attack them so they could counterattack.

“That might not be the case. The members of the Proud Guild are all very arrogant. The more the other party provokes them, the more they will have the impulse to start a fight.”

Positive Barry calmly analyzed the situation from the side.

This made Li Yi, who remained silent at the side, very satisfied.

Such analytical ability and calmness made him a good initiator for battle.

When they had fought before, the other party did not use all of his strength, and that was under the condition that either of them did not have any equipment.

Now was the perfect time to take a closer look at Positive Barry’s true strength.

This time, Positive Barry had taken many things into consideration. Of course, Positive Barry was also very clear about other things.

So, Li Yi gladly accepted and welcomed him.

The only person who could not keep his cool was probably Clutch King.

He was a first-class militant.

He had long since taken out the spear in his hand.

He had two sabers on his back as well just in case.

All he needed was for his opponent to appear.

On the other hand, Dream Seeker had long since disappeared into the darkness.

Right now, no one could find his location unless he exposed himself.

Everyone was waiting for the members of the Proud Guild to appear.

However, ten minutes passed, and they still have not appeared.

Dream Seeker returned to Li Yi’s side and revealed himself. He shook his head at Li Yi.

“I’ve looked around, but I haven’t found any suspicious players.”

Li Yi frowned slightly.

“It’s impossible for Proud Dali to let go of any opportunity to suppress his opponent. Could it be that they have other plans?”

Li Yi was a little confused about the situation now.

At first, he thought that he had been exposed, but he had put away his weapons and shield. Logically speaking, he would have looked like an ordinary player.

Unless… the Proud Guild had encountered other difficulties.

At this moment, Li Yi thought of another guild.

Misty Rain Guild.

Li Yi opened his friend list and sent a message to Misty World, [What are you doing?]

The message was quickly replied, [The Proud Guild is gathering their forces. They know that you are here. It wasn’t me who leaked the information, but I made an inference from all of this.]

Misty World’s reply always made Li Yi feel afraid.

He had only asked a simple question, but the other party had told him everything he wanted to know.

Such a person made him have goosebumps. Could it be that he really had spies all around?

Li Yi glanced at Positive Barry, who was at the side, deep in thought…
