Chapter 487: Goblin Valley

??

Su Sheng, who was following behind them, listened to their conversation and was utterly confused.

Elder brother…

Who taught you to play assassins like this, so unprofessional?

You're sneaking, yet you speak? Did you swallow the Private Chat interface?

However, it might also be because the large force is right in front of them, so they're relatively relaxed.

Otherwise, no matter how exaggerated, they wouldn't speak while sneaking.

At least it's the Assassin Guild of the major guild.

As the four assassins approached, the Thousand-Person Team blocking the gate opened a passage.

Following those assassins, Su Sheng safely passed through the Thousand-Person Team's blockade.

Not a single person noticed that Su Sheng had slipped in behind them.

The defense was indeed too tight.

Here an entire Thousand-Person Team blocks the road, and an unknown number of assassins patrol the outskirts.

Under these circumstances, even the Dawn members blocking the road here don't even think anyone could get close.

Just like earlier, when you approached a nearby solo squad, the scouting assassins spotted you immediately, and this side promptly gave support.

To come here, you'd have to be a large force from the major guild, but such a movement couldn't hide from their scouts.

However, an assassin just reported that Mo Wen Qianchen was pursuing and killing one member of the Gentleman Rogue Combination nearby.

They got a little nervous... after all, he's the Domestic Server's number one, with formidable aura.

But Mo Wen Qianchen left after the kill...

Naturally, they had nothing to worry about.

After entering the valley, Su Sheng found many Dawn squads scattered around.

The central area was even bustling!

Spawn~

At that moment, five or six monsters spawned right in front of Su Sheng...

"Quick!"

"Mage Focus Fire!"

Two nearby Dawn squads immediately began Focus Fire.

Su Sheng quickly fell back a short distance, fearing that the Dawn players' AoE skills would hit him, making his appearance unfun.

Su Sheng surveyed the surroundings; similar situations kept occurring.

This is... Goblin Valley.

Su Sheng checked the map name; this should be a level‑40 Training Spot of Baihu Main City.

Earlier, when browsing forums for information, Su Sheng had seen some related details.

Although this Goblin Valley is a level‑40 Training Spot, its difficulty is considerable, so hardly anyone likes to level here, and the major guild of Baihu Main City looks down on it even more.

It's not that the goblins themselves are especially strong; the trouble is they're all organized in squads with tight coordination.

One pack is equivalent to a whole team.

Each spawn comes in whole squads, so just now four or five goblins spawned directly in front of Su Sheng.

Moreover, goblins give poor experience; compared to a typical single level‑40 monster, they yield about a third less XP.

The only advantage is the monster density, but it's labor‑intensive and unrewarding, so few people like to grind here.

Not to mention that most large player forces are now around level 42–43, so hardly anyone comes here to farm monsters.

At this point, Dawn completely occupied the area.

In the central spot, about four or five thousand people were besieging a goblin clad entirely in golden armor.

"Second squad, support! A goblin squad is coming!"

"Received! Engage the monster!"

A goblin squad spawned in the distance, wasn't immediately taken, and then scurried toward the central spot.

Some players on the outer edge of the central four or five thousand immediately split into two teams to engage the monster.

Su Sheng saw this scene and roughly understood.

The golden‑armored goblin boss in the center is the Commander Rank monster of these goblins.

And the goblin squads in Goblin Valley run to support that boss, which is why Dawn disperses so many people to constantly clear the spawned minions.

It's to prevent those goblin squads from charging into the center and causing trouble.

Just the players clearing minions around the periphery number about two to three thousand.

Outside, the 'gate‑blocking' side has over a thousand, plus an unknown number of assassins patrolling.

Estimating this time, Dawn mobilized over ten thousand people!

Such a massive manpower shift, and no other major guild noticed?

Su Sheng suddenly thought of something, alright...

The feeling is that it's his own merit; by blocking so conspicuously in Baihu Main City, he likely attracted most people's attention.

Great, then he'll take a little commission.

Su Sheng grinned, feeling more justified as he prepared to stir things up.

Although the major guild hasn't reacted yet, it's clear that others besides him have noticed Dawn's actions.

Su Sheng thought of that stealthy assassin master.

Su Sheng glanced, and within a short time Dawn should still not be able to push away that golden‑armored goblin.

Getting a little closer, Su Sheng saw the health bar still above half.

The Little Frenzy stage hasn't even begun.

Then Su Sheng opened up the distance again, staying out of harm's way, and began to observe.

But the entire valley was chaotic, a massive crowd of players, and now and then a goblin squad would spawn somewhere, prompting those Dawn player squads to leap about.

In such a case, unless he happened to be nearby, Su Sheng couldn't locate the sneaking assassin.

Besides the individual's own skill being high, the valley offers far too many hiding places.

But it doesn't matter…

Su Sheng quietly found a spot and bided his time.

Anyway, that guy, having already sneaked in, must share the same intention as him.

But he probably hasn't noticed his presence.

Given that, let's see who loses patience first.

I could even stage a mantis‑cicada‑yellow‑sparrow scenario.

Having made up his mind, Su Sheng quietly bided his time.

Thinking it over, Su Sheng opened a private chat.

"Kong Lang, send two squads to scout Baihu Main City, Qiancheng Muxue and War to Stop War's movements."

"Received!"

Chen Guan replied at once.

Simultaneously, without asking why, they went to investigate the news of the two guilds.

Trust unconditionally.

Wha‑la~

At that moment, a disturbance rose from the valley's center.

Su Sheng looked up and saw that the BOSS had entered the Health Axis; the main Dawn army surrounding the BOSS incurred significant damage.

But it soon settled.

After all, it was once the second‑ranked guild among the Domestic Server's top ten.

Su Sheng then continued to watch.

Soon after, Chen Guan responded with news.

Qiancheng Muxue and War to Stop War showed no notable activity.

Su Sheng, seeing this, was a bit surprised; it seemed Dawn truly kept Qiancheng Muxue and War to Stop War completely hidden.

He couldn't help recalling the peak of the past two days…

That old six, without a sound, pulled off a major deed.
