Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

The next day, before dawn, thirty-four players had already gathered at the entrance to the Underdark from Toothpick City.

These are all the members of the Dragon Abyss Guild.

Wu Zhan didn't conduct any pre-battle mobilization; time was of the essence. As he walked, he sent messages in the guild channel:

"This is the first time I've organized a group activity. As you know, I've been busy rescuing people, but given the current situation, the guild needs to unite and overcome this difficulty!"

"To be honest, if I were in charge, the levels of everyone in the guild wouldn't be so different. Some people are already over level 50, while others are still below level 30. In fact, before level 50, with proper team composition, I'm confident I can get anyone from level 1 to level 50 within a week!"

"With expert assistance, reducing this time to 3 days is not a problem!"

"We didn't organize anything before because we felt it wasn't necessary, but now it's different; it's time for us to take action!"

"That's why I've always looked down on those people in the Azure Council. If they were willing to take the lead for six months... never mind, anyway, everyone remember our goal: leveling up and obtaining the [Bond Badge] is our top priority!"

His gaze swept over the high-level players.

"High-level players will need to make a slight sacrifice of time, but I guarantee the rewards afterward will make that sacrifice well worth it!"

During the journey, Wu Zhan wasted no time and directly let the high-level players take action to sweep through the enemy lines.

Even if they had no experience or didn't get any loot, it didn't matter. Sharpening their axe wouldn't delay their work. They arrived at the mushroom tribe at an extremely fast pace, within an hour.

Everyone was quite surprised to see the giant mushrooms and the beautiful scenery in the tribe.

Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, Wu Zhan directly gave instructions to different people:

"Ayun, target the spore tower and fungal wall nodes, maximum power, disable their defenses!"

"Xiao Yin, Xiang Yang, you players above level 40, keep an eye on your lower-level teammates. If anyone is in danger during the fight, don't hesitate to intervene. Survival is the priority!"

"Players below level 30, all of you, equip yourselves with poison resistance gear. Follow me once your defenses are breached!"

After the three orders were given, everyone responded in unison:

"clear!"

The team started operating like a finely tuned gear.

Yun Xiangrong stepped forward from the crowd, her staff raised high, and blinding lightning began to crackle around her. Her clear, cold voice chanted incantations, and a rolling thundercloud rapidly gathered above her head.

"Thunderstorm!"

She swung her staff forward with a sudden burst of speed!

"Boom—!!!"

In an instant, countless bolts of lightning, as thick as buckets, descended from the sky like the wrath of a god, striking precisely the key points of the spore-ejecting towers and the fungal tumor walls! The lightning exploded, and wood chips and fragments of fungal tumors flew everywhere, illuminating the entire underground space as if it were daytime with a blinding blue-white light.

With a single strike, the most threatening spore tower was blasted to pieces, emitting black smoke and completely paralyzed.

The tough bacterial tumor wall was also blasted open with several huge gaps, the blue light on the surface became extremely dim, and the crawling speed slowed down significantly.

The entire mushroom tribe's defense system was instantly paralyzed by this terrifying AOE magic!

Liu Nian's eyes narrowed slightly: As expected of the so-called number one lightning magic, this damage is indeed terrifying!

"Well done!" Wu Zhan praised, then immediately changed his order: "High-level team members continue to harass the defensive weapons from a distance! Team members below level 30, advance! Kill!"

The low-level players, who had been waiting for this opportunity, charged through the breach in the defenses like tigers released from their cages!

Warriors stood at the front, mages and archers unleashed their firepower from the back, and healers steadily kept the enemy's health up.

Without the protection of their fortifications, these mushrooms proved utterly vulnerable to well-organized players.

Compared to solo monster hunting, team monster hunting is naturally different, testing the coordinated combat ability of multiple people.

Of course, there was one exception: Liu Nian.

He doesn't actually need anyone's cooperation to deal with these mushroom people!

Therefore, Wu Zhan didn't give him any instructions at all, his only words were: "Do whatever makes you happy."

So Liu Nian rushed in all by himself!

He was like a tiger among sheep; with just his basic attacks, combined with [Heart of Steel], [Soul Drain], and [Earthquake], he was already invincible.

With two punches, a level 18 mushroom warrior exploded!

With a stomp of his foot, seven or eight mushroom-men around him were shattered!

One unstoppable force was enough to shatter the formation of the mushroom people!

Wherever he goes, the area is instantly cleared out.

The terrifying damage and monster-clearing efficiency made all the teammates who witnessed this scene feel their hearts pound.

The guild chat was filled with shock:

"Holy crap! This guy's combat power... I feel like even a level 30 player wouldn't be a match for him, right?"

"You've gotten shorter! Bro, you've gotten shorter!"

"What do you mean, 'short'?"

"You're so narrow-minded! Did you even see that? How much health did he take off that level 25 elite mushroom man with a casual punch? Nearly 4000! One charge attack does over 20000 damage!! You're level 35, can you even withstand one of his charges?"

"Damn, they both survived even once, how come his talent is so strong?"

"For the boss to call someone 'extremely strong' truly means they are terrifyingly powerful!"

"Holy crap, what was that move? It wiped out the entire area!"

"Did you guys see that? A single punch dealing 30000 true damage over a massive area? What the hell is this monster?"

……

Liu Nian naturally didn't have time to check the guild chat. Because it was a large-scale group leveling up, he abandoned the idea of ​​slowly stacking [Heart Steel] and instead focused on monster-killing efficiency. With him charging ahead, the clearing speed was astonishing.

A large amount of equipment and materials were dropped on the ground. These items were all picked up by high-level players who followed behind and kept them in a safekeeping manner.

The most important of these are the bond badges.

The channel was buzzing with discussion about the badge's strength.

About half an hour later, all the ordinary fungus people in the tribe had been slaughtered, leaving only three five-meter-tall, burly, dark purple level 30 elite monsters [Giant Fungus Berserker LV.30 (Elite)] still stubbornly resisting at the roots of the central giant fungus.

"Anyone below level 40, follow me and take them down!" Wu Zhan selected a few people and personally led the final assault.

Facing the elite monster, Liu Nian chose the closest one, immediately using [Shadow Strike] to close the distance, followed by a normal attack and [Earthquake] for crowd control, then Heart of Steel and Soul Drain Strike—

After a combo attack that required no explanation, the Giant Fungus Berserker's health was reduced to less than half. Once the teammates behind it arrived, they easily focused their fire and killed the monster instantly.

The massive body crashed to the ground, bursting into a burst of light!

The other two were easily dealt with by several players who were close to level 40.

A number of items were dropped on the ground. Since the three monsters were level 30 elites, the items dropped were quite good, but the most eye-catching item was still the Bond Badge.

However, the Bond Badges dropped by these three big guys were not the A-grade badges that Liu Nian had obtained before: [Defenders Guild Badge - Spore Symbiosis].

Instead, it is an S-rank badge: [Striker Society Badge - Living Siege].
