Chapter 265 (1/2)

Sin City. After entering the leveling area, the sky’s color changed. The sky was covered in dense, black clouds and thin rain drizzled down.

The entire city had a sinister and dark hue around it. Enveloped in both rain and fog, players had limited visibility. The rain’s dripping sound and the occasional thunder challenged the player’s hearing.

As soon as Lord Grim entered the city’s streets, thunder roared and lightning flashed down from the sky, illuminating the entire street in a deathly pale light in that instant. Ye Xiu suddenly moved his hands. His mouse s.h.i.+fted and Lord Grim stabbed towards his left with his Thousand Chance Umbrella.

The umbrella flipped inside out.

“Pu!” The Dragon Tooth connected with the target.

The lightning revealed his pale and mean face, dripping with rain. His hands held a cold dagger which stabbed towards Lord Grim, but he was. .h.i.t first by Lord Grim’s attack.

This was a Sin City resident, one of the monsters in this leveling area. Glory’s drawings were extremely detailed. NPC monsters were randomly generated through character models. Their models were different from one another which made them appear realistic and vivid.

Sin City’s unique environment and weather made it troublesome for players. The residents here were also extremely hostile. Their faces looked like fiends and their sneak attacks were sudden. If Ye Xiu were a normal player, he would have most likely been hurt by the sneak attack.

Fortunately, Ye Xiu was Ye Xiu. His Dragon Tooth struck, followed by a Sky Strike.

Ye Xiu was a pro player. He had to be familiar with every type of map. Many of the maps used in Glory’s compet.i.tive matches were based on maps made in-game. After playing for so many years, how could he not be familiar with this type of environment?

Sin City?

When new players first arrive here, the reduced visibility and noisy background might make them feel repressed and the residents’ sudden attacks were likely to scare them. But for Ye Xiu, this was all too ordinary.

After using a Sky Strike, Lord Grim switched around with different forms and used different skills. But the high Level Suppression greatly weakened Lord Grim’s killing potential. Even though the fight was without any suspense, it still took him quite a while to kill off the resident.

Ye Xiu didn’t want to waste his time on this resident. After killing it, he began paying attention to the surroundings.

Residents were moving around in the 9 o’clock, 11 o’clock, and 1 o’clock direction. These residents’ aggro range had obviously been researched by players long ago. For Ye Xiu, he was good enough that he could estimate the distance with his eyes.

These three residents blocked the street he was on. No matter which way he went, he would inevitably enter their aggro range. Ye Xiu saw this, but his Lord Grim continued forward.

Charge forward!

After seeing the resident at the 9 o’clock direction step twice, Ye Xiu used the opportunity to make Lord Grim rush forward.

Leap back!

The resident in the 11 o’clock position suddenly stopped and turned back. Ye Xiu hastily had Lord Grim leap backwards twice, just beyond the edge of the resident’s aggro range.

To the right, 30 degrees!

After confirming the residents’ positions, Ye Xiu made his decision and rushed forward diagonally.

As he moved, his camera constantly moved, observing the three residents’ movements. He would immediately make any adjustments based on their movements. Finally, after twisting and turning, Lord Grim ran past them without being noticed.

The process had been somewhat complicated, but it saved him a lot of time.
