Feng Xing and the others had long been prepared to die in battle. In their eyes, being killed would not make them drop anything; they would only lose a level, which they could accept. If killing monsters yielded some Skill Books, they would make a huge profit. Of course, it would be even better if they were lucky enough to kill a Commander Grade monster. Thus, when they heard Yan Hua Yi Leng's arrangement to retreat toward the West Gate and her order to continue withdrawing, they were thoroughly confused and repeatedly asked why.
"If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to get out. Most importantly..." San Mei Shi explained on her behalf as she continued retreating toward Haoyue City's West Gate.
Feng Xing and the others were smart people, and they quickly realized something. Being able to preserve their levels was naturally a good option. Even if they still lost levels, going to Haoyue City's West Gate would allow them to hold out longer. It was not only because they would be farther from the Demon Gods and Commanders; more importantly, gathering together greatly enhanced their strength. Most of the players still alive were elite experts, including quite a few Dual Profession experts. Even without ultimate moves, these people possessed formidable combat power when gathered together.
Not only that, Ye Luo and his group had previously killed several Commander Grade bosses, and members of other guilds had done the same. They had obtained equipment such as Needle of the Thunder God, as well as powerful large-scale skills like World-Destroying Mad Thunder. With so many skills covering the battlefield, carving out a bloody path or holding on for longer would not be much of a problem.
