Mu Yuan noticed that the situation had steadied, allowing him to peacefully continue his game. He was about to head home.
However, he had not gone far when he heard the commotion start up once again at a distance, and saw multiple players leaving the surrounding villas to hurry towards the scene.
Mu Yuan also spotted a familiar figure.
“Liver Emperor?”
“Big bro, you’re here too.”
The Liver Emperor looked quite different after some time apart, his face now rosy and his body more muscular. It was clear that he had been using items to increase his physical strength. Although the significant changes, the dark circles under his eyes remained as prominent as ever.
As the two of them moved forward, their eyes caught the sight of a dark fissure.
The Big Goblins, Barbarians, and Jackal Men surrounding the fissure were especially notable; their scarlet eyes and brutal faces shaking before lunging towards the surrounding people.
“Hold on, don’t come over here!”
There were about a dozen players around, most of whom seemed to be new.
Some were enthusiastically discussing how to find and hunt down fleeing monsters within the group chat. Yet, the moment they saw the hideous monsters appearing in reality and charging towards them, they couldn’t help but tremble.
They realized this was nothing like facing these creatures from behind a computer screen!
The putrid scent was overwhelming!
Some newbies, shocked by the sight, sat down on the ground due to the sudden weakness of their legs. Others managed to summon their troops, despite the clumsiness, but had overestimated their strength and underestimated the power of the three-star creatures at the “apprentice’s peak”.
A Big Goblin fiercely smashed a watchman’s shield, causing it to cave in and the watchman to stumble back several steps.
A Barbarian, wielding a club, caused a Spearman to drop his weapon and go flying.
The newbies finally realized their predicament! Hunting down the fleeing monsters and ganging up on them wasn’t as easy as they thought. Especially now… they were outnumbered!
The Whale player, Mr. Tan, who was on the front line also cursed under his breath.
As more and more creatures surged out, he had no choice but to fight while retreating, “IF this were the Eternal Continent, a mere twenty or thirty creatures wouldn’t be a problem!
But in reality, it didn’t work like that. The troops he could dispatch were limited.
Suddenly, Mr. Tan’s eyes lit up. He saw familiar figures in the distance. They were fellow newbies, lords like him, and they seemed likely to be more reliable.
“Let’s fight together!”
Some middle-aged players sent forth several level 8 and 9 Spearmen, managing to hold the line.
The Liver Emperor took out his phone and started issuing commands.
The next moment, numerous tall, muscular, and gray-skinned zombies emerged from the Cross-Boundary Magic Array, joining the battle against the fleeing monsters.
The Liver Emperor took a deep breath, swiping sweat from his forehead. He then roared, “Go!”
Appearing from the array was a figure riding a giant wolf, armored and wielding a wolf-toothed club. With a mighty charge, the giant wolf’s claws left deep marks in the grass as if a grey van had rammed into two Barbarians, sending them flying tens of meters, blood splattering.
That was a Rare Rank Troop, the Wolf Cavalry!
The Whale player, Mr. Tan, was taken aback, looking at the unimpressive Liver Emperor with some surprise. However, his eyes soon ignited with a competitive spirit.
As a Whale player, he was certainly not going to be outdone!
He then ordered his Rare Rank Troops, the Halberd Guards, to deploy their skills. After chugging down a bottle of potion, he waved his hand.
Hum-
In the profound Array Patterns, a scorpion with an ironclad-like sheen appeared. This was another Rare Rank Troop, the Ironclad Scorpion! Seeing the fight and retreat of other rookies, they were surprised, envious, and couldn’t help but swear.
Two veteran players who had been in the game for a year and a half, looked at others, then back at their own pathetic spearman, and sighed to themselves.
The whale, Mr. Tan, glanced at Mu Yuan, and slightly raised his chin.
Mu Yuan didn’t notice, he just stared at the distant monsters.
Seeing the monsters start to scatter, he made his move. Without having his body hollowed out, without needing to chug potions, in the blink of an eye, a skeleton warrior appeared in the field, waving a large sword in both hands, performing a sweeping cleave.
Squish—
Three jackal men were immediately cut at the waist.
The whale, Mr. Tan, nodded slightly: As expected of the man who surpassed him in the initial assessment, he surely has some abilities.
The second skeleton warrior appeared quickly. Its level wasn’t high, but a charged throw with the bone spear still pierced the body of a level 9 barbarian.
The whale, Mr. Tan, was somewhat surprised.
The third person to appear from the magic array was a strong shooter, fully wrapped up, with no elegance to be seen. She bent the bow and shot the arrow, like a meteor, it shot into the eye socket of a monster, killing it instantly.
The whale, Mr. Tan:He continued to chug potions, pulling out his other two slightly lower level rare rank troops, to put on a stronger front.
Anyway, humph, he was still slightly superior.
The battle continued for several minutes, with the joint efforts of several rare troops, twenty or so ordinary troops, and the players who arrived later, the fleeing monsters that had made their way to the real world through a crack were finally wiped out.
The dark crack also vanished without a trace.
Mu Yuan wiped his nonexistent sweat, called back his strong shooter, Seventeen, and a skeleton warrior with a double-digit number, leaving only one standing behind him like a door god.
The Liver Emperor wiped his sweat and gasped for breath. Seeing Mu Yuan seemingly only a little tired, he couldn’t help but marvel, “Big players are indeed big players, my liver power is still not enough.”
The whale, Mr. Tan, also came over and said, “I must apologize, I underestimated you before. You do have the ability to win the resource assessment first place and compete in the trial list. However, on the day of trials, I will still be a cut above.”
Mu Yuan:”???”
Bro, who are you? Wait, he remembered, he’s a whale!
This was a rather serious instance of monsters fleeing. Soon, official staff from the association arrived. After some recording, they said that the rewards would be transferred to the respective accounts within an hour.
“Also, whether it’s a new player or an old player, you must team up when going to remote areas looking for fleeing monsters, and also be careful every day. It’s suspected that a Twilight Cult gang’s wanted criminal player has crossed the borderland and entered our Baijiang City, and these guys are all mad.”
A cult gang wanted criminal player?
Mu Yuan thought to himself, and the resentful spirit’s soul bead in his pocket began to hum and vibrate. His body tensed slightly, and as he looked around, he caught a glimpse of a player wearing a grey hooded jacket quickly moving away, disappearing in the shadows in the blink of an eye.
All seemed normal, as players were leaving the scene at this time.
But, just now, the Resentful Spirit Hongyi had picked up strong resentment from this grey hooded player.
This stems from the Resentful Spirit’s unique talent, ‘Resentment Absorption’- they can permanently strengthen themselves by absorbing resentment and hatred, and also have the ability to sense ‘Resentment’.
Could this guy be the rumored cult gang’s wanted criminal? He has been peeking around the entire time?
Damn, that’s way too dangerous!
Mu Yuan immediately returned to the villa and anonymously reported it to the officials. At the same time, he activated the battle falcon on the mountain behind the villa district through his mind link ability.
A large bird spread its wings and soared, its sharp eyes scanning over the land..
