There were nine people in total, all from Kai Xuan. Among them, a warrior blocked the boar leader, a priest was responsible for healing, and a rogue’s location was currently unknown. The remaining six were locked onto Qi Shi De Wan Ge and his companions, with both sides on the verge of conflict. Among these six were three mages, one berserker, and two holy paladins.
The opposing group was led by a berserker named Kuo Dao, who looked about thirty years old, was overweight, with slanted eyes and a hooked nose, making him instantly unlikable.
Berserker Kuo Dao squinted his slanted eyes and chuckled, saying, “Friends from over there, this boar leader was first discovered by our rogue, who has been watching it for a long time. We are from Kai Xuan. If we have offended you in any way, please forgive us.”
“What a joke, it sounds like we stole their monster!” Gan Zhe immediately shouted.
“Ha! Trying to be the good guys after stealing our kill? Who do they think they are?” Several members of the team shouted in response.
Kuo Dao heard these words, his slanted eyes flashing with murderous intent as he sneered, “So, what do you want to do about it?”
“Just give us back the boar leader!” Gan Zhe angrily replied.
Qi Shi De Wan Ge, however, had calmed down. They were outnumbered, and their equipment was not as good as the other side’s. If a real fight broke out, they would definitely be at a disadvantage. Moreover, the executive president had repeatedly warned them to focus on leveling up first, as the guild had plenty of good gear.
“Gan Zhe, let’s go. Vengeance can wait ten years for a gentleman,” Qi Shi De Wan Ge said to Gan Zhe and the others.
“Just let it go like this?” Gan Zhe frowned. He couldn’t bear to swallow such humiliation. Especially considering how many of their guild members Kai Xuan had killed—anyone would have some anger in their heart.
“You’re wise to back down. Next time you go out, remember to recognize our Kai Xuan guild badge. When you see us, scram!” Seeing Qi Shi De Wan Ge’s group turning to leave, Kuo Dao thought they were afraid, becoming even more brazen.
Qi Shi De Wan Ge raised his eyebrows. Even a clay Buddha has some temper. Considering the disadvantage in numbers and equipment, he decided not to fight and instead opened the guild chat.
“Is there anyone from Niu Ren Tribe in the Murky Canyon?”
“I’m in Murky Canyon. What’s up?” A player from the guild replied.
Qi Shi De Wan Ge briefly explained their encounter with Kai Xuan in Murky Canyon, saying, “We want to take down these Kai Xuan guys, but we’re short on numbers!”
Quickly, the guild chat was flooded with responses.
“Knight, where are you?”
“Give us the coordinates. We’ll crush those bastards!”
“We’re in Murky Canyon!”
“We’ll teleport back immediately. Damn Kai Xuan!”
“I’m in Firelight Town and on my way!”
After being oppressed by Kai Xuan for so long, the fury of Niu Ren Tribe exploded, with replies flooding the chat screen.
“Wait, wait, wait! You guys don’t all have to come. A dozen or so will be enough to deal with them,” Qi Shi De Wan Ge was shocked. He hadn’t expected that just mentioning it in the guild chat would bring responses from hundreds of members, many of whom were team leaders representing thousands. If all of them came, they would definitely overcrowd Murky Canyon!
From the passionate responses of the guild members, Qi Shi De Wan Ge truly felt the warmth and camaraderie of the guild, which gave him a strong sense of belonging.
A strong desire arose in Qi Shi De Wan Ge’s heart: to make Niu Ren Tribe even stronger and crush those damned Kai Xuan!
“Everyone, don’t all come. A dozen of us can tear those bastards apart!”
“Knight, give us the coordinates quickly!”
“Murky Canyon coordinates 285.283.3809.”
“I know that area. It’s in the northern part of Murky Canyon. I can get there in three minutes max!”
“Those who can’t make it in five minutes don’t need to come!”
Qi Shi De Wan Ge and Gan Zhe exchanged a smile, their confidence surging with the support of their passionate brothers. “Damn Kai Xuan, who are we afraid of?”
“We are from Niu Ren Tribe!”
“Remember your grandpa’s face!” Gan Zhe wasn’t holding back with words.
Kuo Dao’s face darkened instantly. Po Tian, their leader in Kai Xuan, had issued an announcement: kill anyone from Niu Ren Tribe on sight.
“Niu Ren Tribe, those cowards who don’t even dare to wear their guild badges outside. We’ve been looking for you, and now you’ve come knocking on our door!”
“Grandpa is right here!”
The atmosphere was tense, with Kai Xuan’s warrior still continuously attacking the boar leader, and another mage also focusing on the boar. Kuo Dao and his group couldn’t afford to be too careless, as they still had to deal with the boar. If Qi Shi De Wan Ge’s group attacked first, they would be caught between two fronts.
The boar leader’s health dropped slowly, bit by bit. After about two minutes, it still had a third of its health left.
Qi Shi De Wan Ge’s group intentionally delayed time. Whenever Kuo Dao’s group tried to focus their attacks on the boar leader, they would make aggressive moves, forcing Kuo Dao’s group to defend.
The boar leader’s health continued to drop slowly: a quarter, a fifth, a sixth, and now it was critically low!
“We’ll finish off the boar leader first, then deal with these Niu Ren Tribe guys!” Kuo Dao said in the team chat. The mages around him unleashed their magic on the boar leader, causing a series of damage numbers to float above its head.
The boar leader’s health was quickly depleting, and Qi Shi De Wan Ge’s group became anxious. If the boar leader died, the loot would definitely be taken away!
For them, even if the boar leader dropped bronze gear, it would be rare and valuable since it was level fifteen equipment. Most of them were still wearing level ten bronze gear, with only Qi Shi De Wan Ge having slightly better equipment.
“Priest, focus on healing me!” Qi Shi De Wan Ge shouted in the team chat and charged toward the boar leader.
“That kid wants to steal the loot!” “Kill him!”
A barrage of spells shot toward Qi Shi De Wan Ge, immediately reducing his health by nearly half. The priest behind him quickly cast a healing spell.
Qi Shi De Wan Ge drank a minor instant recovery potion and charged toward the boar leader.
“They attacked first, so we can defend ourselves!” Gan Zhe shouted.
From behind, Gan Zhe and others launched a barrage of spells at the Kai Xuan players.
Kuo Dao and the two holy paladins charged toward Gan Zhe and his group, while the other three Kai Xuan mages focused their firepower on Qi Shi De Wan Ge.
“Crush this trash!” Kuo Dao charged forward with a battle cry, rushing toward Gan Zhe.
Qi Shi De Wan Ge reached a spot near the boar leader. As the boar was about to be killed by the shield warrior from Kai Xuan with just a sliver of health left, a sudden idea struck him. He cast a damage shield on the boar leader.
A faint white barrier appeared around the boar leader.
The shield warrior swung his sword, and a -1 damage number floated above the boar leader’s head. He was momentarily stunned.
The boar leader roared furiously, suddenly attacking the shield warrior’s shield with its chain hammer, pushing the warrior back a few steps and leaving him slightly dazed.
“Nice move!” Qi Shi De Wan Ge was delighted. He was only a few yards from the boar leader now. He quickly cast a dispel to remove the damage shield, then swung his sword at the boar leader. The boar let out a cry and fell down.
“Damn, Knight must have divine intervention,” Gan Zhe couldn’t believe how quickly Qi Shi De Wan Ge had reacted and managed to snatch the boar leader’s experience.
Qi Shi De Wan Ge felt exhilarated, never having felt this thrilled before. As he bent down to pick up the loot, the shield warrior charged at him.
“Kill that gear-stealing holy paladin!” shouted the arcane mage behind, launching fireballs.
“Hamstring!”
The shield warrior swung his sword.
Perhaps by instinct or sheer luck, Qi Shi De Wan Ge anticipated the shield warrior’s hamstring and blocked it with a parry.
Clang! Their swords clashed.
The shield warrior roared furiously, casting demoralizing shout!
Qi Shi De Wan Ge cast a buff spell, ignoring the demoralizing shout, shoved the shield warrior aside, and grabbed the loot on the ground.
Got it!
Overjoyed, Qi Shi De Wan Ge turned to run, using the speed boost from his “Momentum” ability to sprint away.
“Stop him!”
Boom! Boom! Boom! Three spells exploded on Qi Shi De Wan Ge, leaving him with only about five or six health points.
“Dou Zi, heal me! Quick!” Qi Shi De Wan Ge shouted desperately. Looking back, he was furious to see that only Gan Zhe and another elemental mage remained from his five teammates, and both were low on health.
Kuo Dao unleashed a powerful blade strike, killing the elemental mage next to Gan Zhe. Having killed two players, he was now flagged for PvP.
Gan Zhe, with only a few health points left, was also running away frantically.
Qi Shi De Wan Ge could feel a rogue chasing him from behind, getting closer and closer.
“You think you can run? Not so fast!”
Kuo Dao and his group chased relentlessly after Qi Shi De Wan Ge and the others.
“Little bastards from Niu Ren Tribe, why don’t you be more arrogant?” Kuo Dao cursed. Having lost the gear and now flagged for PvP, he was like a furious lion, filled with the urge to kill recklessly.
Just as Kuo Dao was charging to kill Qi Shi De Wan Ge, a dense crowd appeared on the nearby high ground.
There were easily over a hundred people, and the number was still increasing. Players of various classes, wearing different gears, were all stirred up.
“Who are they?” Kuo Dao stopped in his tracks.
“Kuo Dao, run fast! They’re from Niu Ren Tribe!” his teammates shouted.
Kuo Dao felt a sinking feeling in his chest. He was flagged for PvP, and if he were killed, he would lose at least two levels and drop all his gear.
“Knight, we’re here!” someone shouted among the hundred or so players.
“Kill all the Kai Xuan guys! Don’t let them escape!”
Dozens of Niu Ren Tribe shield warriors and berserkers charged down the hill like arrows released from their bows.
Kill!
Eradicate the Kai Xuan players!
Behind them, sixty or seventy Niu Ren Tribe mages lit up with magical elements in their hands. A barrage of spells flew into the sky, screaming down toward the battlefield.
