The Toabado Mountains mainly spawned monsters between level 40 and 45.

The Pointed-Fire Giant Bone Turtle was a type of monster with slow movement speed and very low attack, but extremely high HP and defense.

Although it was a level 40 monster, if one’s agility was high enough, it was even possible to farm them without taking any damage.

The only drawback was that the farming speed would be much slower.

At this moment, more than a thousand members of the Gods Guild were attacking these Pointed-Fire Giant Bone Turtles in groups of three.

"Pay attention when aggroing the monsters. Don’t kill them. Whoever kills a monster will have one day’s wages deducted."

Caleb shouted loudly at his subordinates.

This was his leveling method: relying on these subordinates to wear down the monsters.

Whenever a monster’s HP dropped to a critical level, he would step forward to deliver the finishing blow.

Because he was not in a party and landed the final hit, he could receive the full amount of experience points.

This was also why he had always leveled up faster than ordinary players.

No one dared to compete with Caleb for monsters here. Among the players, very few dared to oppose the Nine Great Guilds.

Even though they were no longer acting as domineeringly as before because of Lucien,

the lingering prestige of the Nine Great Guilds still remained, and they were not people ordinary players could afford to offend.

However, just as Caleb was working hard to level up, a guild member hurried over and whispered something to him.

Immediately after, Caleb looked up.

In the distance, he saw a figure wearing gear that emitted a golden glow and a Goblin mask, walking slowly toward them.

Looking at that familiar figure, Caleb’s expression instantly turned ugly.

"Everyone, immediately exit Combat State. We are returning to the city."

When this group of people heard Caleb’s command, they also noticed Lucien in the distance.

Their expressions changed drastically.

Realizing the situation was bad, they used all their strength to try and kill the Pointed-Fire Giant Bone Turtles beside them so they could exit Combat State and return to the city.

As for Caleb, the moment he finished speaking, he realized he had already exited Combat State.

Without hesitation, he took out a Return Scroll. A flash of white light appeared, and his figure disappeared instantly.

Meanwhile, Lucien had already spotted the Gods Guild members from afar, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyes.

"My luck is actually this good? These people are leveling here?"

However, as he watched, flashes of white light began to appear one after another.

Seeing that familiar light, Lucien’s expression changed slightly. He immediately understood that they had discovered him and were preparing to flee.

Without wasting a second, he burst forward at full speed, rushing toward the group of Gods Guild members.

But even though he moved as fast as he could, by the time Lucien arrived, nearly half of them had already escaped.

Many of the remaining players were barely being held back by the Pointed-Fire Giant Bone Turtles.

Without hesitation, Lucien immediately summoned the Five Elements Zombies and launched an attack on those who hadn’t managed to escape in time.

There were no surprises—it was a one-sided slaughter.

These people couldn’t even withstand the attacks of Lucien’s Five Elements Zombies.

Lucien didn’t even need to use any high-damage skills. Just by casting the most basic Soul Fire Talisman, he could instantly kill them.

Even so, many players, upon finally exiting Combat State, immediately activated their Return Scrolls and fled as well.

After about five minutes, Lucien finally stopped.

The ground was littered with silver and bronze equipment.

Lucien bent down and collected everything, obtaining a total of twenty pieces of silver equipment and more than thirty pieces of bronze equipment.

Moreover, they were all around level 30.

Looking at the pile of equipment in his backpack, Lucien couldn’t help but consider whether he should purchase a shop.

After all, there was no way he could use all this equipment by himself.

But soon, he shook his head.

For now, his priority was to deal with the Nine Great Guilds and ensure they had no foothold in Battle Online.

If he didn’t deal with them first, then when he sold this equipment, most of it would likely end up back in their hands anyway.

After so many years of exploitation, ordinary players simply didn’t have much wealth.

Only the Nine Great Guilds possessed such terrifying financial power.

If he sold this equipment now, wouldn’t that be equivalent to strengthening his enemies?

Thinking of the people who had escaped, Lucien felt a trace of regret.

If he had known in advance that these Gods Guild members were leveling here, he would have approached more carefully.

That way, he wouldn’t have been discovered so early, and far fewer of them would have escaped.

Afterward, his gaze shifted to the Pointed-Fire Giant Bone Turtle nearby.

Pointed-Fire Giant Bone Turtle

Level: 40

HP: 100,000

Attack Power: 1,000

Defense: 1,500

Agility: 100

Skills: Great Fireball, Turtle Shell Retreat, Rolling Stone Ball

Characteristic: Slow movement speed

For Lucien, the monster’s stats were quite average.

However, for ordinary players, its high defense and HP made it extremely troublesome.

Many players in their thirties might not even be able to break its defense without at least a piece of silver equipment.

If they wanted to kill one, it would likely take a considerable amount of time.

But for Lucien, it was just right.

Although it slightly affected his farming speed, it was extremely safe.

Unlike the Red Locust Purple Jade Bee, which, despite its low stats, possessed that annoying true damage.

Lucien commanded the Five Elements Zombies to attack the Pointed-Fire Giant Bone Turtle beside him.

He didn’t remain idle either, continuously using Soul Fire Talisman and other skills to assist in the attack.

"Ding, killed Pointed-Fire Giant Bone Turtle, EXP +400, bonus EXP +400."

"Ding, killed Pointed-Fire Giant Bone Turtle, EXP +400, bonus EXP +400."

"Ding, killed Pointed-Fire Giant Bone Turtle, EXP +400, bonus EXP +400."

In just a few minutes, Lucien had already killed hundreds of Pointed-Fire Giant Bone Turtles in the surrounding area.
