159: Encirclement

The Xia Country received a protest from the Nan Yue Country.

But they only received it!

The official who handled diplomacy part-time gave a thoughtful reply saying it was received... and then there was nothing after that.

What could they do?

What did they want them to do?

If they kept asking, it would be a bit inconsiderate!

You know, the Wa Country still has commissioners contacting the Xia Country to protest even now; did you see us pay them any mind?

Xu Shian's speed in clearing Dungeons was getting faster and faster... after all, this time, he had a dedicated MT.

Wu Lun was right; a pet tank and a dedicated tank... their strength really wasn't comparable at all.

By the time Xu Shian had cleared four main cities and reached the fifth, Qinzhu Water Fortress, many Nan Yue Country players had already arrived!

..."Are we really going to block Shi Chuan? We can't beat him, can we?"

"Even if we can't beat him, we have to fight, even if it's just to die..."

"Is there any point?"

"Yes, the think tank analyzed it; the main reason he can clear the Dungeons of so many main cities so quickly is by taking advantage of the teleportation arrays!"

"How can he use the teleportation arrays?"

"That's not important! What's important is that for every person of our country he kills, his city reputation will be deducted! If we deduct enough so that he can't use the teleportation arrays, we'll have a chance to trap and kill him..."

"I heard that if he wants to return to a main city to resurrect, there's an extra lifespan deduction of fifty years..."

When everyone heard this, they got excited... over the past half month or so, the name 'Shi Chuan' had undoubtedly been incredibly famous!

If the Nan Yue Country really killed him here... "Shian, currently the top thousand or so players in the world are all at Level 10 Perfection, and the ones who have gone to the main cities most are from the Nan Yue Country... you must be extremely careful!"

Xu Shian also felt a bit of a headache!

It wasn't that he thought these people were particularly strong, but rather that it was a hassle.

After all, it was their home turf; if they were determined to use their own lives to cause trouble for him, they really could cause Xu Shian some distress.

Honestly, wouldn't it be better if we were a bit more peaceful?

I help you get the Dungeon First Clear, you politely thank me, and then you see me out of the country—wouldn't that be great?

Why must you stop me... Qinzhu Water Fortress is one of the eight main cities of Lin Yue Country.

Since it's called a water fortress, the city is almost entirely situated on water... when Xu Shian stepped out of the teleportation array, he clearly sensed dozens of players here.

Fortunately, he had already used the deception ring to change his appearance and ID.

Unfortunately, before Xu Shian could celebrate for even three seconds, several attacks came flying toward the teleportation array.

"Brother, don't fight back, it's just a normal attack without equipment on, just one hit and it's over!"

The other party was quite relaxed; after all, those who could come here at this time were all here to protect their own Dungeon First Clear.

To fight against the Great Demon King Shi Chuan, they wouldn't start infighting at a time like this!

Unfortunately, this deception ring was pure illusion!

It could deceive the Scouting Technique, but it couldn't deceive the system's combat logs.

With a side-jump, he dodged the opponent's attack; not wanting to get entangled, Xu Shian immediately turned to communicate with the teleportation array behind him.

[You are in a state of combat and cannot use the teleportation array. Please use it after leaving combat!]

The Nan Yue Country players on the opposite side suddenly jolted when they saw this.

It seemed they had caught a big fish!

Their excitement hadn't lasted even two minutes before they suddenly realized something was wrong!

Wrong... it seemed the big fish had caught us... no matter which city it was in, the teleportation array was, if not heavily guarded, at least a very important type of building.

Qinzhu Water Fortress was no exception, of course.

"You lot, how dare you cause trouble here at the city teleportation array?"

"Sir, he's a foreigner, he specifically came to our city to cause trouble!"

The two Level 60 Guards frowned upon hearing this and looked at Xu Shian.

Although the Level 60 Guards were powerful, their rank was only so-so.

They couldn't see through the disguise of the deception ring.

If it was said that no one below Bronze rank could see through it, then they definitely couldn't... "Nonsense, this is clearly a player of our Lin Yue Country, and a player with a Friendly reputation status at that!"

As they spoke, the two Guards' gazes became unfriendly.

A group of you players with Neutral reputation came here to attack a player with Friendly reputation?

"Get lost immediately. If you dare cause trouble in the city again, I'll lock you all up..."

The Nan Yue Country players hadn't identified with their new Lin Yue Country identities yet!

They exchanged unwilling glances, then, as if receiving some command, they watched Xu Shian and slowly backed away.

Seeing this, the two Guards were also a bit unsure; they backed off a little further, watching the situation and deciding to wait and see.

Seeing this, Xu Shian felt that this trip to Lin Yue Country was no longer going to be smooth.

After thinking for a moment, he simply backed toward the teleportation array, intending to continue in another city.

Turning around, he saw more than ten Lin Yue Country players filing out of the teleportation array.

They directly surrounded the teleportation array.

Presumably, these people had already formed a large group and coordinated... Sigh, why are you unwilling to let yourselves go?

Even if death only deducts extra lifespan, isn't that kind of death still death?

He communicated with Gamor, Sink, and Wu Lun through his consciousness, telling them to prepare for battle!

Xu Shian had a premonition that this Dungeon journey in Lin Yue Country would end here.

These people definitely couldn't beat him, but they were almost certainly going to cause trouble in the city... in that case, he needed to consider the situation of being enemies with the whole city.

Xu Shian inwardly steeled himself.

If you dare to die, I freaking dare to bury you!

He then steadied his mind and summoned his signature pets, Pigsy and Feng Tiao.

When they saw this scene, even the Lin Yue Country players who were mentally prepared couldn't help but be startled.

The two Wild Boar Kings, already Level 13, had basically recovered to the size of an off-road vehicle.

And this size was still increasing as their level rose and their strength grew.

[Pigsy, Feng Tiao, Tame Pets of player 'Shi Chuan']

[Level: 13] (Black Iron Rank)

[Race: Beast]

[Tenacity Type]

[HP: 28,620]

[Strength: 205 + 524 + 320]

[Agility: 195 + 450 + 320]

[Constitution: 210 + 424 + 320]

[Physical Attack: 3,147]

[physical defense: 482 + 40]

[Magic Defense: 482 + 35]

[Tenacity Skills: Charge, Thick Hide, Taunt]

[Special Skills: Savage Charge, Rampage, Frenzied Bite, Serrated Fangs, Death Stare]

Looking at the attributes of the two boars, Xu Shian only felt that all the incoming enemies before him were paper tigers!

The only problem was when the high-level experts in this city would come to support them... he couldn't be bothered to waste his brain on that, and with Pigsy and Feng Tiao in tow.

He began to walk toward the exit of the city.

Although Xu Shian didn't know the way, the planning direction of all cities was generally consistent.

Xu Shian advanced with steady steps, while the Lin Yue Country players faced Xu Shian and retreated continuously.

Before deciding to fight, Xu Shian had already turned on the screen recording function.

The enemies in front of him retreated step by step when facing Xu Shian, while the enemies behind him only dared to follow from a distance.

For a moment, Xu Shian alone walked with the momentum of a thousand-strong army.

Even though more and more people gathered on the opposite side, by the time Xu Shian retreated to the open area of the square, more than thirty players had already gathered there!

At this time, in a place Xu Shian couldn't see, the King of Nan Yue was promising heavy rewards and frantically calling for people!
