33: Chapter 33 Resurrection is Forbidden!

"Alright."

Mo Bai nodded, and a look of joy appeared on Village Chief Kaven's face upon hearing this.

"Thank you, my Lord."

After some discussion, the group bowed deeply to Mo Bai once more and immediately headed downstream toward the lake's river.

Having narrowly escaped death, although the loss of their loved ones was heartbreaking, life had to go on.

It was time to start a new life.

Watching their departing figures, Village Chief Kaven and Parn were discussing the formation of a hunting team.

Without land, they could only rely on hunting to get through these difficult times.

At the same time, besides Parn, Sheep Horn Village needed a force of its own for protection.

Watching them leave, Ye Ye looked at Mo Bai.

"Hello, I'm Ye Qing's brother, the leader of the Green Leaf Guild."

"Mo Bai."

Mo Bai nodded as a greeting.

"Congratulations on gaining such a fierce general. Before I came, I actually intended to give you a million and ask you to help me persuade Parn."

"But now it seems I was overthinking it."

Ye Ye shook his head slightly and spoke while looking at the nearby Quiet Lake.

Mo Bai smiled.

"If it were before entering the game, or right when it started, and you gave me a million, I think I would have accepted it."

"Then I wouldn't have given you a million."

"Hahaha."

Mo Bai laughed.

Not far away, Zhou Rin and Ye Qing were chatting while looking at Quiet Lake.

Ye Qing kept trying to beat around the bush to ask about transcendent matters, but Zhou Rin kept circling around the topic, never getting to the point.

Meanwhile, Yang Hao had no intention of joining the activity here; he sat by Quiet Lake on his own, continuing to experiment with those Spell Structures.

Ye Ye and Mo Bai chatted for quite a while.

Finally, Ye Ye and Mo Bai shook hands firmly.

"Happy collaborating."

The two smiled at each other, but in the next moment, Ye Ye's expression changed slightly.

"I'm sorry, something came up in the guild. I have to go."

Ye Ye said a few words, gave some instructions to Ye Qing, and then left immediately.

While Ye Qing remained by the lake and Zhou Rin was feeling curious, Mo Bai walked over and spoke.

"Zhou Rin, Ye Qing will be with you from now on."

After saying that, Mo Bai looked at Ye Qing and couldn't help but ask.

"What's the situation? Did something happen in your guild?"

"Huh? I'll go ask."

Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, and after a while, his face instantly changed. He said a word and then logged off immediately.

Mo Bai and Zhou Rin looked at each other, both seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

This matter also blew up on the forum, instantly hitting the top of the trending list in the Oak Town channel.

"Oak Town Mayor's Decree: The player guild 'Green Leaf Guild' has acted perversely and with extreme cruelty, massacring 375 villagers of Sheep Horn Village. The righteous members of the Great Axe Gang stepped in to rescue the villagers but were attacked by Green Leaf Guild players, resulting in over a hundred casualties."

"Following a report from this town and approval from the Empire, the Green Leaf Guild and its 571 affiliated players are now wanted, and their ability to Revive within the Empire's borders is restricted."

Following the post was an image of the announcement and a low-quality battle video, showing players being ruthlessly slaughtered by a squad of fully armored swordsmen, completely unable to fight back.

The light effect of Reviving on the spot, which usually appeared in player battles, did not occur even once.

Not a single player Revived on the spot during this battle.

"All players currently in Sheep Horn Village have been wiped out."

"Furthermore, they have Revived on an ice field with no buildings and no sign of human life."

"The Great Axe Gang has re-occupied Sheep Horn Village and is extensively capturing villagers from nearby villages and active players."

"?!"

"What the hell?"

"A bunch of stupid NPCs can decide where I Revive and where I can't?"

"What does this mean? Forced map change?"

"Wait, wasn't it the Great Axe Gang that massacred Sheep Horn Village? Wasn't the Green Leaf Guild saving people?"

"How did it suddenly flip? This..."

"Don't you guys upstairs get it yet? The Great Axe Gang and the Mayor are in cahoots."

"Maybe the Great Axe Gang is just the Mayor's 'black glove,' doing his dirty work."

"What the f*ck, I'm playing a game and getting framed by a bunch of damn NPCs?"

"I'm just really curious, where exactly did the Green Leaf Guild go?"

Seeing this post, Mo Bai's breath hitched.

Everyone was shocked, and the replies below the post increased in page count at a visible speed, never stopping.

In this moment, they were shrouded in disbelief.

Or rather, unease.

Their ability to Revive was actually banned because of a report from a mere town mayor.

After a long silence, until Ye Qing logged back on with eyes burning with rage, Mo Bai finally asked.

"Ye Qing, what's the situation now?"

"My brother has already committed suicide to go to the snowfield and take charge of the situation."

"Everything said on the forum is true."

Mo Bai took a deep breath, not knowing what to say. He just patted him on the shoulder and turned to walk toward the lake.

But just as he turned, a player ran over quickly and said to Mo Bai.

"Big shot, I'm from the Green Leaf Guild. I'm delivering a message for my guild leader."

"He wanted me to say he's sorry, that the collaboration has to be cut short before it even began."

"He also said that the collaboration plan for Ye Qing remains unchanged; these are the conditions he promised you."

"Until we meet again."

After saying that, the player handed two transcendent crystal cores, a dozen crocodile skins, and a dozen fiery red feathers to Mo Bai.

"This is the reward promised to you, big shot."

After saying this, the player nodded to Ye Qing, then stabbed himself in the heart. In an instant, he turned into light and vanished, leaving no trace of his presence behind.

Mo Bai looked at the two transcendent crystal cores, the crocodile skins, and the fiery red feathers. This didn't just mean two melee transcendents; it meant two brand-new Magic Spell Models.

This was the price for him to help Ye Qing with his class change to transcendent; originally, there was to be further collaboration.

class change collaboration, magic scroll trade collaboration—all were to be paid for with Magic Beast crystal cores or Magic Beast skins.

This was supposed to be a great virtuous cycle, but... because of a town mayor's maneuvering, it was all ruined.

At this moment, Mo Bai's expression turned somewhat grim.

Meanwhile, Ye Qing walked over, looked at the materials, and spoke up.

"These are materials from two magical beasts our guild killed."

"For each one, we paid the price of hundreds or thousands of player deaths. I participated every time."

"Damn that mayor."

As Ye Qing spoke, he couldn't help but clench his fists.

His heart was filled with rage, and he wanted revenge, but a sense of powerlessness welled up within him.

Mo Bai also couldn't help but take a deep breath.

In terms of strength, the Oak Town Mayor, who controlled a regular army, was completely overwhelming.

As long as they were branded as rebels and their Revive ability was banned, a squad of fully armored soldiers could easily massacre players.

In terms of status, the Mayor was an official member of the Empire and held absolute power over the entire Oak Town.

This included, but was not limited to, the military and taxation.

To take revenge was truly not something players who had lost their ability to Revive could hope to pull off.

However, at this moment, Mo Bai couldn't help but rub his nose, a dangerous glint appearing in his eyes.
