With godlike talent from the start, how did he become invincible?

Chapter 473 Burning Heaven Guild

Liu Xiong remained silent for a few seconds.

He had a vague guess in his mind, but this guess made him uneasy.

"Where are those guys... now?"

The scouts pointed northeast.

"In that valley. It seems they're planning to clear out all the monsters from the entire valley."

Liu Xiong hesitated.

If it really is someone from that guild, then our group of one hundred would be committing suicide if we charged in.

But what if it's just a bluff?

What if it was a small guild putting on an act?

Zhou Long noticed his hesitation and whispered, "Boss, why don't we retreat first? It's not worth the risk."

Liu Xiong glared at him.

"Retreat? We finally encountered a big one, and we're just going to retreat like this?"

He gritted his teeth.

"Let's get closer and take a look. If it's really tough, then we can retreat."

A team of 100 people quietly made their way northeast.

......

Five minutes later, they saw the valley.

The valley was small, surrounded by mountains, with only a narrow entrance. At this moment, the entrance was brightly lit with firelight, and the glow of skills flickered in and out.

Liu Xiong lay down behind a rock, raised his homemade binoculars, and looked into the valley.

Then his pupils suddenly contracted.

The scout was right; these guys are indeed very strong.

That's ridiculously strong.

In the valley, at least a hundred monsters were running around—level 50 Rock Armor Scorpions, level 53 Sand Giant Lizards, level 55 Gale Harpy, and even a few level 58 Rock Golems.

But those monsters are being slaughtered right now.

The seventy or eighty players were divided into two teams: one team was responsible for attracting and tanking monsters, and the other team was responsible for dealing damage.

The team that lured the monsters had over thirty people, with the warriors in front and the rogues harassing from the side, managing to draw all the monsters' aggro onto themselves.

The team that dealt damage consisted of thirty or forty mages.

Their positioning was extremely particular, arranged in three rows, taking turns to unleash their skills.

After the first row is finished, immediately move back and the second row takes over; after the second row is finished, the third row takes over; after the third row is finished, the first row has already cooled down.

Zhou Long was completely stunned when he saw this.

"How...how did they do that?"

Liu Xiong did not answer.

He stared intently at the mages' equipment—fiery red robes, almost identical to each other.

A terrible thought popped into his mind.

Just then, a scout suddenly exclaimed.

"Boss! Look over there!"

Liu Xiong looked in the direction he was pointing.

Deep in the valley, on a protruding rock, stood a person.

He was a young man, who looked to be no more than twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

He wore a deep red robe embroidered with golden flame patterns that shimmered faintly in the moonlight.

He stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching the battlefield below. Occasionally, he would raise his finger and point, and the mages around him would immediately adjust their positions.

That composure, that calmness, that commanding presence...

Liu Xiong's hands began to tremble.

"Burning Heaven..." he murmured, "It's the Burning Heaven Guild..."

Zhou Long's face turned deathly pale.

"Boss, the Burning Heaven Guild? That top-tier guild? What are they doing here?!"

Liu Xiong did not answer.

Because he also wanted to know the answer.

Burning Heaven Guild is a top-tier guild that ranks among the best in the entire newbie continent.

It is said that their guild leader, Li Yan, is a holder of SSS-grade talent, with a level of 38, top-quality equipment, and terrifying combat power.

How could someone of this caliber be here?

How did it end up in this remote valley?

How could I... have run into them?

Liu Xiong's brain was working at lightning speed.

Run. We have to run. Before they find us.

He lowered his voice and spoke to the person next to him.

"Pass the word down: retreat slowly. Don't make a sound, don't alert them."

The message was passed on one after another.

One hundred people began to slowly retreat.

But at that moment...

A fool stepped on a loose stone.

The stone rolled down and hit another stone with a crisp sound.

Liu Xiong's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.

In the valley, the players who were fighting monsters all stopped what they were doing and looked in this direction.

The young man standing on the rock slowly turned his head.

His gaze passed over the darkness, over the rocks, over the terrified faces, and landed precisely on Liu Xiong.

"Interesting," he said, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching everyone's ears.

"Staying up at night, hiding outside and peeking. Is it a monster? Or...?"

He paused, a smile playing on his lips.

"hunter?"

Liu Xiong's face turned completely pale.

He suddenly stood up and screamed with all his might.

"Run! Run!"

One hundred people scattered in all directions like a swarm of wasps.

But the figure standing on the rock only raised his hand slightly.

"【A rain of fire】."

The next instant, the sky seemed to be set ablaze.

Countless fireballs rained down like a storm, covering an area of ​​several hundred meters in radius.

Those who were fleeing were hit by the fireball, screaming as they turned into white light.

After a round of fire, the number of people who fled decreased by a third.

Liu Xiong fled frantically through the fire and rain, covered in wounds, but still alive.

He glanced back.

The young man had already stepped off the rock and was slowly walking towards them.

Behind him followed dozens of mages, their steps perfectly synchronized, like a well-trained army.

Liu Xiong gritted his teeth and ran forward as fast as he could.

But after running only a few steps, a wall of fire suddenly rose up in front of him.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The young man's voice rang out from behind.

"Why are you running? I haven't even asked you a question yet."

Liu Xiong slowly turned around.

The firelight reflected on his face, illuminating his desperate eyes.

"You...you are..."

The young man smiled.

"Li Yan. President of the Burning Heaven Guild."

Liu Xiong's legs went weak, and he knelt down on the ground.

"President Li... we... we didn't mean to offend you..."

Li Yan walked up to him and looked down at him.

"Hunting players earns points quickly, right?"

Liu Xiong trembled all over and couldn't speak.

Li Yan's gaze passed over him and fell on the remnants of the "Wilderness Hunters" who were being cleared out by members of the Burning Heaven Guild.

"If the monsters are hard to kill, then kill people. Kill lone players, kill isolated individuals, kill the wounded. Fight if you can win, run if you can't."

He withdrew his gaze and looked at Liu Xiong again.

"You think this is smart?"

Liu Xiong opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but found that he couldn't say anything.

Li Yan raised his hand.

Liu Xiong closed his eyes and waited for death.

But that strike was delayed.

He opened his eyes and saw Li Yan looking at him with disdain in his eyes.
