122: I'm so busy picking up equipment I'm practically rolling in it!
"Guild Leader, why are you here?"
Dragon City Overlord looked haggard, devoid of any spirit.
"Seeing you looking so hopeless, I came over to liberate you. Keeping watch isn't pleasant, is it?"
Lin Yue hit the nail on the head regarding what Dragon City Overlord was thinking; the latter almost burst into tears.
For over a day, he had been staring at the members of the Overlord Guild without doing anything else; he was bored out of his mind.
Keeping watch wasn't a good job; it was a grueling task.
"Alright, alright, you're liberated. You can go rest now."
Seeing Dragon City Overlord in such a state, Lin Yue felt a bit bad and announced they could log off and rest.
When those words were spoken, not only did Dragon City Overlord cry, but Cute Little Peach did as well.
"Guild Leader, I'm so touched! You're actually letting us log off to rest, waaa~"
In the time it took to speak, Cute Little Peach logged off in a split second, fearing Lin Yue might change his mind.
Seeing this, Dragon City Overlord tossed the peach to the ground with one hand and shouted, "Holy crap, wait for me!"
Having said that, he was about to log off when Lin Yue grabbed him.
"Hold on, wait a bit longer. Follow behind me and pick up the equipment."
"Are we going to fight? Do you need my help?"
"No need, you're just responsible for picking up equipment."
Lin Yue shook his head with a smile. If Instant Movement didn't require targeting a friend, he wouldn't have actually needed Dragon City Overlord and the others to keep watch here.
After making arrangements, Lin Yue turned his gaze toward Green Forest Mountain in Azure Dragon City.
Like Black Wind Mountain in Vermilion Bird City, this was also one of the Farming Spots for Bandit suppression. Now, the mountain was swarming with people, and a fierce battle was underway.
Sprint!
In the darkness of the night, Lin Yue activated Sprint, his speed suddenly soaring to 108 points. His speed was astonishing.
Before the guards at the foot of the mountain could react, two consecutive casts of Thunder Punishment instantly killed them.
"Ding! You have been killed by an unknown player. Waiting for resurrection..."
Almost everyone who was instantly killed didn't even see Lin Yue's shadow before their vision went dark, waiting for resurrection.
Just like at Black Wind Mountain, Lin Yue killed his way from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.
This time, because he had activated Gale Technique, he was so fast that many people didn't even know what was happening.
He fought all the way to the mountain stronghold, and only then did the members of the Overlord Guild react.
"Holy shit, what's going on? Hundreds of people at the foot of the mountain were insta-killed?"
"Which guild dares to fight our Overlord Guild for a Farming Spot?"
"I don't know, I didn't see clearly, but it doesn't seem to be a guild. It's an individual."
"An individual? Could it be that the White Emperor has come? No, that's not right. The White Emperor is currently at Black Wind Mountain, dozens of kilometers away from here. It can't be him."
"Then who else could it be? Who could instantly kill so many of us?"
For a moment, the Ba Tian members on Green Forest Mountain grew uneasy. The Squad Leader in charge of guarding the stronghold quickly reported the information.
They happened to be in the middle of a monster respawn, so everyone was busy fighting, and the transmission of information was extremely slow.
Thirty seconds—that's how long it took to kill his way from the foot of the mountain to the stronghold.
Lin Yue killed everyone on sight. The ground was covered in corpses, and equipment was dropping everywhere.
Although these people didn't have any red name value and the drop rate shouldn't have been high theoretically, Lin Yue's Luck attribute was now too high.
With as much as five points of Luck, not only did the proc rate of Lin Yue's skills increase several times over, but the equipment drop rate also soared.
Initially, Dragon City Overlord was following behind Lin Yue at the foot of the mountain picking up equipment, but in the blink of an eye, Lin Yue ran further and further away. Before he could finish picking up the items, Lin Yue had already vanished.
"The Guild Leader's strength is becoming more and more terrifying. After not seeing him for a day and a half, he's more than just a little stronger than in the last battle."
Dragon City Overlord was a pro player after all, and he could tell at a glance that Lin Yue's current state was nothing short of abnormal.
No, perhaps calling it Heaven-Defying would be more appropriate.
He thought his own attributes were quite abnormal, but now the gap between him and Lin Yue was only widening.
"Wait for me, Guild Leader!"
Dragon City Overlord shouted into the distance while picking up equipment, but the only response was the corpses littering the ground and the lonely night.
For the first time, Dragon City Overlord discovered that picking up equipment could actually be such a tiring task.
Meanwhile, in the stronghold, Lin Yue didn't attack from the perimeter this time. Instead, he blasted open the gates and charged straight into the crowd.
Regardless of whether they were players or monsters, as long as they entered Lin Yue's field of vision, a Thunderstorm would descend from the sky.
Rumble!
Under everyone's terrified gazes, the violent lightning tore apart every living creature in sight. Both Bandits and players were annihilated in the endless white light.
Simultaneously, several casts of Thunder Punishment exploded in the crowd every second. Before they could even daze off, nearly another hundred people were insta-killed.
By calculation, Lin Yue could insta-kill a hundred and fifty people or ordinary monsters per second.
This was extremely terrifying. By the time the Squad Leader reached the summit to deliver the message to the Legion Commander in charge of Green Forest Mountain, Lin Yue had already killed fifteen hundred people.
And yet, barely a minute had passed.
With the bonus from Sprint, Lin Yue forcibly shortened his travel time and was essentially in a state of full firepower.
In this state, he would kill anyone in his way, be they man or Buddha.
"Who on earth are you..."
In the crowd, someone still wanted to ask.
Before they could even finish half their sentence, they were blasted to smithereens by a sudden bolt of lightning.
At the summit, the Legion Commander, who was currently besieging the Boss, received the news. He immediately abandoned the Boss and led his men toward the stronghold.
By the time they arrived, what met their eyes was a living hell.
There were only two players inside the entire stronghold. Judging by their equipment, both were Mages. One stood in the center of the stronghold staring at the Resurrection Point, while the other was squatting on the ground, continuously picking up equipment.
"White Emperor!"
The Legion Commander was also part of the Overlord Guild's management and recognized Lin Yue at a glance.
He had seen that signature gold legend staff several times already.
Combined with Lin Yue's appearance, he could confirm without a doubt that it was the White Emperor.
But this was a bit ridiculous.
Clearly, before they started farming monsters, he had received news in the guild group that the White Emperor was at Black Wind Mountain. Black Wind Mountain had been treated as a sacrificial pawn to cover the other three legions while they farmed exploit points.
Furthermore, even if the White Emperor were heading toward Green Forest Mountain in Azure Dragon City, the two places were dozens of kilometers apart. There were spies arranged by the Young Lord on the only path, so how could he possibly appear here silently?
"Impossible! How did you get here?"
The Legion Commander's mind was full of confusion, but as soon as he spoke, he was met with Lin Yue's counterattack.
Rumble!
Like a life-reaping Yama.
As soon as Lin Yue made his move, dozens of newly arrived players were instantly blasted to death.
The Farming Spot at Xuanwu City.
Having received news that the Black Wind Mountain legion had completely withdrawn and believing himself to be safe, Overlord Invincible was sitting in the stronghold's meeting room drinking tea.
"This is bad, Young Lord! Green Forest Mountain has been taken down by the White Emperor!"
"What did you say?"
Overlord Invincible's hand holding the teacup instantly trembled, and he was stunned.
