Chapter 43

After bidding farewell to the three women, Li Huailin hurriedly headed towards the South Gate. To be honest, Li Huailin had never been to the South Gate before. Unlike the North and East Gates, the terrain outside the South Gate changed quickly after a short walk. At first, it was all grassland and plains, with occasional level 10 monsters like grassland wolves. Further on, it turned into barren land, and the monsters became level 12-13 elemental stone monsters.

Elemental stone monsters have outstanding physical defense but poor magic resistance, and their attack power is relatively low. They are good for magic users to level up, and there are many more players here compared to the North Gate. However, it was still early in the morning, and most professional players were still sleeping. On his way, Li Huailin encountered three or four teams.

After about ten minutes, Li Huailin approached the lava fissure that Hongyue mentioned. He could feel the change in the environment. The barren land gradually turned into black rock, and Li Huailin could even sense the heat in the air. It must be said that the sensory experience in *Heart of Glory* is very well done; Li Huailin really felt the heat.

The lava fissure is actually a large canyon surrounded by black, barren mountains. The bottom of the canyon has lava bubbling up, making the entire canyon extremely hot. The main monsters in the canyon are wandering fire elementals. These monsters are hard to deal with, having extremely high attack power and sometimes casting fireballs. For physical classes with low magic defense, they are like demons. Melee attacks against magic users are also tough, but relatively speaking, fire elementals have low health and are not as problematic.

Just as he reached the entrance of the canyon, Li Huailin saw three people standing there. They were just standing there, not looking for monsters to level up. It was clear they were members of the Brotherhood of the End of the World, responsible for blocking people from entering.

Sure enough, as Li Huailin walked over, the three people approached him, and one of them extended his hand to stop him.

"Sorry, friend, the area ahead is already reserved by our Brotherhood of the End of the World. Could you please find another place to level up?" The knight player was not overly aggressive and spoke in a relatively sincere manner.

"Yeah, if you go a bit further, there's a place where evil blade assassins spawn. Those monsters have low physical defense, suitable for warriors like you to level up. Friend, you should go there. The fire elementals here have extremely high magic attack, which is not suitable for you," a mage player added.

"Uh, do I look like I'm here to level up?" Li Huailin stretched out his hands to show his equipment.

Indeed, with his beginner set and a level 10 bronze sword, it was a bit of a stretch to say he was here to level up. Even buying some white gear from the store would be better.

"Then what are you here for?" the leading knight player asked.

"Of course, I'm here to cause trouble," Li Huailin said matter-of-factly.

"Ah?" The three people were taken aback. It was clear from Li Huailin's equipment that he wasn't here to level up, but it was hard to see him as someone here to cause trouble.

"Causing trouble?" The mage player seemed to want to confirm with Li Huailin and repeated the question.

"Yep," Li Huailin nodded. "You guys are the lackeys of the Brotherhood of the End of the World, right? Tell your guild leader that I'm taking over this place. Have him find another spot."

"Ah?" The three people were taken aback again, but they quickly became amused.

"Ha ha ha, Captain, this guy is hilarious. Let me laugh for a bit," the priest player said, laughing to the knight player.

"Which guild did you come from?" the knight player asked, trying to suppress his laughter. "Pride Nation or Angel Guild? How much did they pay you to come here and make us red? I advise you to be careful. If you dare to provoke us, we'll send you back to the newbie village without hesitation. Don't believe me? Try it."

"Oh? So you're going to kill me?" Li Huailin was a bit excited. Indeed, big guilds have a certain style, much more powerful than solo players.

"Get lost, or we'll send you back to the newbie village, and every time you come out, we'll send you back again," the knight player said with a fierce look. If not for the fact that PK is not allowed in the newbie village in *Heart of Glory*, he might have said to send him back to level 0.

"Really? Then I'll cause even more trouble." Li Huailin raised his bronze sword.

"Are you going to attack us first?" The knight captain was taken aback. Initially, he thought the other party was here to make them red, but if the other party attacked first, they wouldn't become red. He wasn't afraid of being red, as he had the guild's backing. Even if he became red, he would receive compensation for working for the guild. However, if he had a choice, he would prefer not to be red. After some thought, he said to the two behind him, "He might pretend to attack to force us to act first. Pay attention to the system prompt and confirm that we've been attacked before we take him down."

Before he finished speaking, Li Huailin had already swung his sword, without any hesitation, striking the knight player's head.

-567

"Damn!" The priest player was already prepared to heal, but the number that appeared stunned him. How could a player in cloth armor deal such a heavy blow to a knight?

Before the three could react, Li Huailin had already swung his second sword. Today, Li Huailin wasn't here to die. If he had just swung once and stopped, they would have retaliated and killed him. Today, Li Huailin was here to cause trouble and create an unresolvable grudge.

"Smack," another blow, and a -601 number appeared above the knight's head. The knight player was only level 14, with less than a thousand health. Such an attack was enough to finish him off.

"Impossible!" The priest player couldn't help but exclaim as he watched the knight player fall.

"You... you are... a... bull..." The mage player suddenly remembered something and wanted to say something to Li Huailin, but before he could finish, Li Huailin had already attacked.

-1106 (Critical Hit)

The mage player was directly one-shotted by a critical hit and fell to the ground without a word.

"Bull... Bull Brother?" The priest player, prompted by the mage, had already recognized who this person was. Li Huailin's name was already well-known on the forums, but few had seen him in person, only in videos. The priest player hadn't recognized him at first, but now he matched the player in the top-posted video.

"Yep, don't forget to tell Wen Tian my name," Li Huailin said, as he was here to cause trouble and didn't mind being recognized. "Alright, I've said my piece. Go on, then."

"Bull Brother..." The priest seemed to want to say something more, but Li Huailin didn't give him the chance, swinging his sword twice.

-551, -578

No critical hits, but two strikes were enough. The priest fell to the ground, his face twisted in disbelief, and soon turned into a white light.

"Killing three people shouldn't count as a big grudge, so let's continue," Li Huailin muttered to himself, then raised his sword and slowly walked into the lava fissure.
