Chapter 1083 - 1016: Leading 3,000 Players to Run an Instance

What kind of place is Oranto Village? Perhaps other players from China Region might not know, but every player developing in this town knows it well. It’s a secret location where you can learn hidden Ranger and Druid skills. However, the prerequisite tasks to enter the village are truly troublesome and drag on for ages.

So even if large guilds know about this place, they wouldn’t focus on developing this area at the cost of losing out on their overall advancement just for a few hidden skills.

But Da Fei has the relic word of Resentful Spirit Taranna, which is tantamount to having the prerequisite tasks to enter the village, making things much more straightforward.

Just then, after Da Fei shouted, the entire regional channel erupted like a festival: "Brother Fei, take me along!" "Brother Fei, wait for me!" "Brother Fei, we have 10 brothers here ready to join you, sir!"

This energetic regional channel is a testament to Da Fei’s powerful call. Da Fei sees this with amusement. Back then, all the city did was curse me, but now the entire city is asking for me. This feeling feels incredibly refreshing. In the end, as long as I’m awesome and willing to lead everyone to play, who cares what I’ve done before? Haha, wahahaha!

At this moment, Brother Seaweed and his group have already started counting heads in the regional channel: "Brother Fei, there are already 500 people signed up! The Mountain Giant will definitely show up!"

Da Fei replies contentedly, "Good, let everyone come quickly!"

Soon after, Brother Seaweed exclaims excitedly, "As expected of Brother Fei, we have 1000 now, the players from the entire town might be heading here now! Even the players with stalls are coming over!"

Da Fei laughs heartily, "Not bad, not bad! The more, the merrier."

A while later, Brother Seaweed’s voice trembles, "Brother Fei, I heard that players from other towns in the Kingdom are coming over!"

Da Fei’s vanity is swelling to the extreme: "Good, everyone’s welcome! You guys quickly bring in more people."

Zi Qing’er reminds, "Brother Fei, the more people that come, the stronger the Mountain Giant might become!"

— Ugh! Da Fei spits out a mouthful of saliva. Why didn’t you say it earlier? What if it gets out of hand? After all, forming a group and a heroic group are different, in a group, players share experience and tasks, attributes don’t influence each other, no matter how awesome Da Fei’s hero attributes are, they won’t improve others one bit.

Da Fei insists stubbornly, "It’s okay, I’ll only wait for 20 minutes, if they can’t make it in time, there’s nothing I can do!"

The crowd hurriedly replied, "That’s right, Brother Fei’s time is precious!"

Now 10 minutes have passed, and these five people have managed to pull 1500 people into the group, all with cramped hands. And there’s already a massive flow of people going up the mountain, Da Fei starts to feel a little anxious, what if it really gets out of control?

Da Fei tries to stay calm and asks, "What skills does the Mountain Giant have?"

Brother Seaweed quickly replies, "It’s a stone giant that throws large trees at people, purely physical attacks, as long as we have enough healing, Brother Fei can definitely handle it easily!"

Oh my! The size difference can result in several times the crushing blow damage, right? Da Fei feels conflicted internally but still responds lightly, "Alright, alright!"

Looks like there’s no choice, at crucial moments an ultimate show-off Divine Skill must be used.

minutes have passed, the team numbers have broken through the 2000-person mark! Right now, the mountain is overrun with people, and the mist can’t obstruct them! In the face of such a deluge, even the most formidable labyrinth would likely be trampled over? It’s no wonder the system spawns monsters to clear the field, Da Fei can’t even imagine the level of monsters the system will spawn to clear this many people!

But no matter how powerful, it can’t possibly be a God-level Monster with a domain, as long as there’s no domain, I fear nothing!

Just as Da Fei is silently cheering himself on, a group of players with Nightingale Guild emblems emerges from the front of the crowd, one named Nightingale rushes to Da Fei excitedly: "Welcome, Brother Fei, the legend! Our Nightingale Guild will fully support Brother Fei!"

Da Fei chuckles, "I heard you guys organized this event twice before, you have more experience than I do, just do what you have to do."

Nightingale hurriedly waves his hand, "Wouldn’t dare to claim more experience than Brother Fei, but rest assured, Brother Fei, we’ll organize all the healers from this town to heal you!"

Da Fei nods with satisfaction, then with a falsely composed demeanor, he checks the time, "20 minutes have passed, let’s head out!" Oh my, the numbers are about to break 2500, if I don’t leave now, things really might get out of control!

Nightingale quickly says, "Alright Brother Fei, our guild is most familiar with the process, we’ll lead Brother Fei to the first instance."

Brother Seaweed promptly blocks other ordinary team member’s messages in the group channel and announces directly, "Brother Fei’s waiting time is up, those who can’t make it, don’t bother anymore!"

Suddenly, wailing fills the regional channel, "Brother Fei, I beg you, wait for me, we’re downing Physical Potions, rushing there!"

"Brother Fei! Don’t abandon me, I left my big street vendor business to rush over!"

"Brother Fei! Brother Fei! No! I’m already at the mountain foot!"

Oh my, pretending I didn’t hear that! Had I known it would be like this, I wouldn’t have shouted in the World Channel.

Just then, Nightingale clears his throat softly and humbly says, "Um, Brother Fei, you see, these are our town’s players, please have mercy and wait a bit more? If they miss this, they might have to wait half a year."

Then a group of Nightingale Guild players quickly echo, "Exactly, Brother Fei, you’re the world’s number one master, just seeing you is a blessing for us, being led by Brother Fei once is a lifetime’s happiness!"

Oh my, really treating me like a God, huh? But that’s good, I’ll take the opportunity to gracefully retreat.

Da Fei sighs, "You see, the more people there are, the stronger the monster, I can’t guarantee I can handle it!"

Nightingale quickly responds, "Don’t worry, Brother Fei, we’ve always been preparing for the clear, we’ve brought out various potions and scrolls, as long as Brother Fei can withstand without being insta-killed, we’ll spare no effort to keep you from falling!"

Sigh, with them saying it like this, if I continue to be coy, wouldn’t it make me seem easy to beat? Da Fei has no choice but to smile weakly, "Alright, then let’s wait another 5 minutes, if they can’t make it, then they’re really not destined for success."

Nightingale excitedly said, "On behalf of all the town’s players, thank you, Brother Fei!"

Hey, hey, hey, you make it sound like you’re the local host. Da Fei laughed and said, "Alright, let’s prepare to enter the instance then."

And so, amidst the full regional channel’s chorus of thanks to Brother Fei, 5 minutes passed, and by this time 3000 people had joined the team, gathering midway up the mountain. Under the lead of Nightingale and others, Da Fei also reached a space gate hidden deep in the forest.

It must be said, if it weren’t for these experienced players leading the way, entering the village by himself as a newcomer unfamiliar with the place would have taken more than a day.

At this moment, Nightingale excitedly said, "Brother Fei, everyone’s already up the mountain. Once we enter this instance, everyone else can come in too."

Da Fei nodded, "Then let’s go in!"

"We’ll lead the way for Brother Fei!"

Nightingale and the group led the charge, with Da Fei following. As the scene shifted, Da Fei and the others found themselves in a narrow valley. Meanwhile, behind Da Fei, countless white lights flashed among the dense crowd of over 3000 players, making the narrow valley completely impassable.

Ahead in the valley, a Mountain Giant, several stories tall and akin to a Heavenly God, stood majestically! At this moment, players everywhere gasped in surprise upon seeing the situation clearly!

Even Nightingale was dumbstruck, exclaiming, "It’s actually this big?"

What the hell! Are we in trouble? This Mountain Giant’s skin is thicker than an Earth Dragon’s. Can regular players even scratch it? Da Fei exclaimed in frustration, "On such a narrow path, how can we deploy people to focus our attack or concentrate healing?"

Nightingale finally came to her senses, "Brother Fei, don’t worry. Every player on the mountain quest has learned to scale walls like Spiderman!"

Then Nightingale announced over the team command channel, "All Task Ranger players, climb up the left rock wall of the valley to attack. All healing players, climb the right rock wall for healing. Visitors from outside, attack and heal on the path through the center of the valley!"

"Got it!"

In no time, the swarm of people split into two groups, each skillfully and agilely pulling out grappling hooks to climb up the stone walls on both sides of the valley.

Their skill left Da Fei and the thousand or so foreign players astounded! Although Da Fei was a veteran in using grappling hooks for rock climbing, he relied on the Spiderman Artifact, while these players had honed their skills to such an extent through endless practice — who knows how much time they spent perfecting their proficiency?

Perhaps noticing Da Fei’s surprise, Nightingale couldn’t help but smile wryly, "Training on the mountain for a minute is worth months at the base; we’ve mostly spent the leveling time for regular player tasks practicing these quest skills. Anyone who stays in this small town is truly devoted."

The others echoed, "Exactly, if not for meeting Brother Fei, who knows how much longer we’d be practicing here!"

"I see!" Da Fei nodded, "So what should I pay attention to in a bit?"

Nightingale quickly replied, "It’s simple. Brother Fei just needs to hold the giant so its back faces the crowd. Otherwise, the giant will throw stones everywhere, crushing players en masse! However, even if we die in this instance, we won’t be sent back to town immediately — we’ll just be heavily wounded on the ground. Once we achieve final victory, everyone will be saved. So there’s nothing for anyone to worry about!"

Da Fei acknowledged, "So, the biggest issue with this BOSS is having someone who can withstand it?"

Nightingale excitedly said, "Exactly! I believe, in this world, only the legendary Brother Fei can endure it!"

Well said! I think so too!

Da Fei laughed, "Let’s move when we’re ready."

"Okay!"

Now, with the Rangers and Druid players positioned on the high cliffs on both sides of the valley, the eagerly awaiting Nightingale spoke with a voice trembling with excitement, "Brother Fei, you’re up. Just head to the center of the valley to start the battle!"

Finally, it’s time for me to show off! It’s not just 3000 players watching — who knows how many are recording videos to show the world? I have to keep it together!

Da Fei adjusted the Titan’s Grasp and straightened the Dragon King Crown, then began a light jog before sprinting full speed towards the giant at the front of the valley.

At that moment, the entire audience cheered as if welcoming a world champion sprinter. Da Fei felt intoxicated!

Closer! The Mountain Giant let out a roar that shook the valley before stepping forward — boom! With a loud crash, its giant step shook the ground, and Da Fei felt himself jump!

Simultaneously, stones from the valley walls tumbled down, crushing into the crowd behind Da Fei, causing screams of agony. Those clinging to the rock walls, Rangers and Druids alike, lost their grip, and over a hundred fell instantly!

"Wow!!!" At this moment, everyone was dumbstruck!

Oh my god! The sheer power of a single step is terrifying, like a mountain god!

But there was no time to be shocked; the Mountain Giant took another step with surprising agility beyond Da Fei’s expectations! The entire valley was shaken, and those on the cliffs couldn’t hold on anymore, this time causing hundreds to fall like dumplings!

Da Fei was devastated! With half the healing and attacking forces down before the fight even began, can we even win? This kind of step would crush me like a meat pie, wouldn’t it? I’m so screwed, I tried to show off but instead became a fool! What to do? What to do!

Facing the Mountain Giant towering above like a skyscraper, Da Fei’s short human legs had no room to dodge. Even if it didn’t directly step on him, Da Fei believed he’d be knocked sky-high like a mere stone!

No! I can’t let myself be killed in front of thousands of people! Even if I die, I need to finish showing off first!

As the massive foot loomed overhead, Da Fei gritted his teeth — Great Positioning Technique, activate!!! (To be continued.
