184: Chapter 184 Official Announcement

A dozen minutes later, this group appeared at the Song City Frozen Soil Camp.

Through the camp's light barrier, Baoju Squad saw some old acquaintances.

"Boss, that looks like Guan Dadao and Monkey."

"Wow! Qingyun is really going all out. They flew their main force directly from Yuanwu just to deal with us. How much must that have cost in travel fees!"

"Seriously, President Shang has been really hot-tempered lately. Is it really necessary?"

"You idiots, I've got the recording running the whole time. Step it up, don't get hacked down by them!"

"Everyone pull back, stretch out their battle line! In a moment, Lv Zong will pull aggro and tank Old Guan. Fatty, Old Smoker, watch for my signal and burst down Zhi Zun Bao first! Dog-Loli, damn it, take this seriously and make sure to cast invincibility on Lv Zong!"

Amidst the clamor, Baoju Squad retreated quickly into the distance, while the Qingyun team pressed forward rapidly.

Two minutes later, both sides clashed again.

This time, Lü Daoren was the first to be focused down and sent to the afterlife, because the Qingyun side had a majority of Casters, and they were all professional players, far stronger than the disorganized ordinary players. A dozen fireballs blasted over, and at least half of them hit.

However, Zhi Zun Bao was also successfully burst down.

Southern Sky Legacy Sword charged into the crowd with a red health bar, slamming into the fragile group of Casters. With Heavy Strike and a horizontal slash, a hit was basically an instant kill.

It was only then that Martial Saint arrived in time to reinforce.

Southern Sky Legacy Sword was surrounded, and outside the encirclement, the three members of Goutou Luo were successively separated and killed by the Qingyun players.

Then, the situation devolved into Southern Sky Legacy Sword being mobbed.

Although the red health bar was impressive, under the attacks of so many people, his HP was plummeting, and he was on the verge of death.

But just then, Martial Saint suddenly shouted.

"Everyone stop, I'll deal with him myself!"

Southern Sky Legacy Sword chuckled, "Old Guan, didn't you brush your teeth when you woke up? You've got some nerve."

Martial Saint also laughed, "Nan Tian, it's you guys who are making waves. You've caused a huge sensation right after the server opened."

"The forums are all saying you have cheats or are money-farming. It's only been a few minutes, and the thread has already broken 100,000 in popularity. You aren't going to get your account deleted on the first day, are you?"

"As an old friend, I came over specifically to see you off."

Southern Sky Legacy Sword smiled even more happily, "You're overthinking that. Go back and tell President Shang to stop wasting his money. We've got a long road ahead, and I'll find time to have tea with him."

The two talked while fighting, but just then, a red system announcement suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision.

[Special Announcement: Previously, due to player reports, the technical team has conducted multiple rounds of data investigations on players {Southern Sky Legacy Sword}, {Lü Daoren}, {Herbivore}, {Old Smoker}, and {Goutou Luo Name Stolen}. It has been confirmed that the data for the above five players is not abnormal.]

[heavenly change is the pioneering work of the era and the frontier of human technology. In fact, we have absolute confidence in our technology; it is impossible for any loopholes to appear, let alone low-level errors like so-called cheats or money-farming bugs.]

[This is a magnificent and vast world, with countless secrets and encounters waiting for adventurers to explore. We hope every player can become their own legend!]

"They really didn't cheat?"

"That's strange then."

"If the official statement says no, then it's no, unless one of them is the biological son of the heavenly change boss."

"Who is the boss of heavenly change?"

However, while everyone was stunned, Southern Sky Legacy Sword suddenly abandoned Martial Saint and rushed toward a weak point in the encirclement.

"Not good! This brat is trying to run!"

"Be careful!"

"Stop him!"

"Nan Tian! Don't be in such a rush to leave, let's chat a bit more!"

Southern Sky Legacy Sword ignored him completely. After cutting down two Qingyun Casters in succession, he broke out of the encirclement and bolted.

He had to run; if he didn't run now, he wouldn't be able to get away.

If he was killed too, the entire squad would be trapped in the camp. If Qingyun sent more people later, it would be difficult for them to leave the village.

Now that he was alive, he could draw a lot of fire, and since the opponents didn't have many people, it would be easier for the squad to break out separately.

He sent a squad message while running.

[Southern Sky Legacy Sword: I'll draw the fire, you guys break out separately. Lv Zong, you charge first!]

[Lü Daoren: Received! Everyone, watch for my signal later!]

[Old Smoker: We have to run. The situation is bad, let's just get out of here first.]

[Herbivore: Where are we meeting?]

[Goutou Luo Name Stolen: Let's go to that spot where the Mysterious Person appeared yesterday. Maybe we'll run into him again.]

[Southern Sky Legacy Sword: Sigh, luck that shocks the whole server like that probably won't happen every day.]

[Old Smoker: Money really is awesome. Even with great luck like ours, we still can't withstand a single word from President Shang.]

[Herbivore: Confucius says: Money is power. Did you think that was a joke?]

[Lü Daoren: Everyone pay attention, I'm attacking!]

Warriors have high defense and long health bars. As Lü Daoren rushed out, he immediately attracted some of the people guarding them.

Immediately afterward, the other three members of Baoju Squad rushed in three different directions simultaneously.

By the time the others realized their strategy, it was already too late.

Supported by last night's encounter, Baoju Squad had spent the whole night developing. Not only were their levels and equipment in the lead, they had plenty of potions and didn't lack mana, and their basic skills were also significantly stronger than others, with skills like Sprint generally reaching LV3.

Moreover, they were much more familiar with the terrain in this area than others.

Usually, two or three people were no match for them, and if there were more people, they would just run away, making it impossible to catch up.

However, accidents always happen.

Goutou Luo was being chased by a dozen people behind her, screaming, but she couldn't shake them off, so she started cursing in the squad chat.

[Goutou Luo Name Stolen: You beasts, if you don't come save me, I'm going to be pinned down by a dozen big guys!]

[Lü Daoren: Holy crap, that exciting?]

[Herbivore: No way? The people chasing you should be the fewest.]

[Southern Sky Legacy Sword: Goutou Luo! How did you manage that?]

[Goutou Luo Name Stolen: You have the nerve to ask me! It's because you guys complained about my low damage output earlier and took ninety percent of my potions. I only had five stamina potions left, and now I've eaten them all!]

[Old Smoker: But you can't lead them to the meeting point!]

[Southern Sky Legacy Sword: Damn it! Fortunately, our secret isn't there. Everyone, prepare for battle! Lv Zong, be careful this time, don't be so aggressive!]

[Lü Daoren: No, no, no. You guys turn around and look, that looks like my dad.]

The group turned their heads to look in unison. They saw a certain Mysterious Person dressed the same as last night, appearing not far behind them, with a golden scroll shining above his head.

They were stunned for a few seconds, then Southern Sky Legacy Sword suddenly roared.

"Everyone, hurry up and accept the quest! Then immediately push forward!"

"Goutou Luo, damn it, stop immediately! Even if you die, don't lead them over here!"

However, it was already too late.

Dog-head Lolita and the dozen big guys behind her had already appeared in their field of vision, and the other party had also seen them.

Martial Saint and Zhi Zun Bao were both very surprised.

"Huh? There's actually a quest NPC here?"

"A field quest? This must be the legendary encounter, right?"

"I haven't seen it either."

"Could this be the little secret of Nan Tian and his group?"

"Clear the area! Let's see what's going on!"

However, a Qingyun Caster who was charging in front had just fired a fireball when he saw a red shadow flash right in front of him.

Then he was gone.

The dozen professional players from Qingyun were all dumbfounded because they saw that the quest NPC had actually started killing people!

Someone who didn't believe in evil threw another fireball, and it was aimed directly at the NPC.

As a result, the NPC didn't even dodge; he just smashed forward, crushing both the fireball and the person into pieces.

Martial Saint was still quite experienced, so he quickly called out, "Everyone stop!"

But at this moment, Baoju Squad was all overjoyed.

Especially Dog-head Lolita, who stopped, turned around, and started cursing with a laugh.

"Haha! You bunch of stinking hooligans, that's what you get for bullying me."

"Do you know who this is? He is Lü Daoren's biological father, which means he is my husband!"

"You molested me in front of my husband, he'll blow you all into dust in a minute!"

The more she talked, the more excited she became. She walked up to Martial Saint and actually raised her hand to punch him directly.

However, immediately afterward, she felt a gust of wind whistling behind her, as if someone had kicked her in the butt.

[Mysterious Person favorability - 2!]

[HP - 1152!]

[You have been killed by the Mysterious Person!]
