Chapter 435 Is this the aura of a top-tier boss?
Chapter 435 Is this the aura of a top-tier boss?
Some people started packing up their spoils, some were discussing the details of the battle, and others were joking with each other; the atmosphere was lively.
Zhang Tianya looked over there, then suddenly remembered something and asked Lin Tian, "By the way! What happened to those people who followed us when you were standing over there? Are they still there?"
Lin Tian glanced behind him.
"It's still there."
On the edge of a sparse grove of trees on the outskirts of the valley.
At this moment, no fewer than a hundred people have gathered.
Casual players, members of small guilds, spies from various guilds... all sorts of people mingled together, craning their necks to peer into the valley.
Although they were far away, they could see the direction of the black tower, the rumbling sound, and the light that had just appeared.
"Finished? So fast?"
"Judging from that noise, it must be a boss battle!"
"Did the people from the War Alliance and Crimson Romance really go in? Can they even defeat a level 35 boss?"
"That beam of light just now, we definitely struck!"
"Holy crap, are the War Alliance and Crimson Romance teams that strong? They can take down a level 35 boss like that?"
"Didn't you see Lin Tian standing there? With him backing us up, there won't be any problems."
"Lin Tian??"
"Who else could it be but him?"
Various speculations and discussions arose among the crowd.
Wang Lei, a scout from the Darkwing guild, hid behind the crowd, holding a specially made telescope and trying to see into the valley.
He could vaguely see figures moving around on the other side of the tower, but he couldn't make out the specifics.
He took out his communicator and sent a message to the guild leader: "Guild leader, it seems they've finished defeating the BOSS. The exact results are still unclear, but it looks like they won."
A few seconds later, a message came back: "Keep an eye on them and see what they do next."
Wang Lei put away the communicator and continued to keep an eye on things.
Nearby, Zhang Ming, a scout from the [Glory] guild, was also observing.
He was more cautious than Wang Lei. He didn't use binoculars; he just leaned against a tree and squinted at the valley below.
"War Alliance and Crimson Romance... and Lin Tian..." he muttered to himself, "What on earth are they doing?"
A casual player nearby leaned over and whispered, "Hey bro, do you know what they're doing?"
Zhang Ming glanced at him: "I don't know."
The casual player persisted: "Guess?"
Zhang Ming paused for two seconds and said, "Let's use this as training. You saw that after they went in, they didn't go straight for the boss, but cleared out the mobs for a long time first. They definitely wanted to practice their teamwork."
The casual player suddenly realized, "That makes sense!"
In another direction, Liu Qiang, a spy from the Iron Blood Alliance, was also observing.
His opinion is somewhat different.
"I think they're testing out the equipment," he said to the person next to him. "Look, when they were fighting the BOSS, those warriors in the front row were taking the hits without losing much health. Lin Tian must have given them good equipment, and they're testing its effectiveness."
The person next to him nodded: "Possibly."
Liu Qiang continued, "Moreover, Lin Tian's personal visit must have a reason. Perhaps he wants to assess the strength of the War Alliance and Blood Romance, and consider whether to pursue deeper cooperation."
Sun Wei, a scout from the [Dragon City] guild, was also present. His guess was more direct.
"I think Lin Tian might want to take these two guilds under his wing," he said. "Think about it, he's so famous now, he definitely needs to expand his influence. War Alliance and Crimson Romance are top guilds in Sunset City, so taking them over would be perfect."
The person next to him seemed to understand: "That makes sense..."
Zhou Tao, a scout from the [Northern Border] guild, shook his head.
"I don't think it's that complicated," he said. "Lin Tian, Zhang Tianya, and Li Weiwei are old friends. This time, he's probably just back to catch up and see how his old friends are doing."
Someone asked, "Then why do we still need to fight the boss?"
Zhou Tao thought for a moment: "Maybe I want to show him my skills. After all, when old friends meet, you have to show off a bit."
Various speculations abound, but none can be confirmed.
Deep in the valley, those figures had already begun to walk back.
The crowd stirred.
"They're out!"
"Don't push! Let me see!"
"Where is Lin Tian? I can't see him!"
"Over there! The one in the dark robes!"
"Is that him? He looks pretty ordinary..."
"You know nothing! True masters return to simplicity!"
Lin Tian walked at the front of the group, with Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei beside him. Celia perched on his shoulder, curiously observing the crowd of onlookers in the distance. Little White was still wrapped around his arm, pretending to sleep with its eyes closed.
Zhang Tianya walked and laughed, "Look over there, there are so many people."
Li Weiwei glanced at them as well: "They're all spies who came along. There are people from all the major guilds."
Zhang Tianya chuckled: "Let them see. Anyway, we're aboveboard, and there's nothing to hide."
Lin Tian remained silent.
He merely glanced at them indifferently as he walked along the edge of the crowd.
That glance was very light, without even a trace of emotion.
But those who were swept away felt an inexplicable pressure and subconsciously took a step back.
Lin Tian withdrew his gaze and continued walking forward.
The crowd automatically parted to make way, and no one dared to utter a sound.
The crowd only began to stir again after the figure had disappeared into the distance.
"Holy crap, that one glance... I felt like I was completely seen through!"
"Me too! He didn't do anything, but my legs just went weak!"
"Is this the aura of a top leader?"
"That's terrifying..."
Wang Lei, hiding behind the crowd, let out a long sigh. He wiped the sweat from his brow, then took out his communicator and sent a message to the guild leader: "Guild leader, they're gone. Lin Tian was probably just here to watch their training; he didn't do anything else."
Zhang Ming also sent a message: "Lin Tian left the valley and headed towards Luoxia City. The members of the War Alliance and Blood Romance went back with him."
Liu Qiang, Sun Wei, Zhou Tao... spies from various guilds are all sending out messages.
Various speculations, analyses, and reports flowed to every corner of Luoxia City via communicators.
Lin Tian, along with Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei, had already disappeared in the direction of Luoxia City.
As the sun set, the valley returned to its tranquility.
Only the cleared monster spawn points and the collapsed black tower in the distance bear witness to what had just happened.
......
At the entrance to the valley, east of Luoxia City.
As Lin Tian, Zhang Tianya, and Li Weiwei disappeared in the direction of Luoxia City, the casual players and other guild members who had gathered there also gradually dispersed.
But the shockwaves from that training exercise and the boss battle were only just beginning to take hold.
After separating from Zhang Tianya and Li Weiwei, Lin Tian immediately used the teleportation array.
