27: Chapter 27: All trespassers wiped out, rival guild bankrupt.

When night fell, Luofeng Village actually became livelier than during the day.

The teleportation array at the village entrance was still glowing with white light, with players grinding monsters, doing quests, and lining up to give gifts, coming and going incessantly.

Lin Chen was curled up in Xing Jianwan's arms, his eyes half-closed, but his little hand remained resting on her cuff, as if he were sleeping, or perhaps listening.

Lin Zhe stood by the dirt slope, his gaze calm.

The next instant, Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

In those baby eyes, a wisp of pale golden rule-light instantly ignited.

"Dad."

"There are dirty things outside the village."

Xing Jianwan's expression turned cold, and she immediately looked up: "Wild Wolf Gang?"

Lin Chen nodded with a milky voice, and with a wave of his little hand, a pale golden holographic map suddenly appeared in the air before them.

By the woods outside the northwest corner of Luofeng Village, over eighty red dots were sneaking toward the direction of the village entrance's teleportation array.

The largest red dot among them was none other than Wild Wolf.

He hadn't given up.

Not only had he not given up, but he had also gritted his teeth, scraped together money, and dragged the members of two nearby small guilds into the mess.

The group was entirely composed of players above level ten, keeping their footsteps light, not even daring to light their torches.

"Keep it down, everyone."

Wild Wolf lowered his voice, his eyes full of malice, "As long as we smash the teleportation array at the village entrance, players outside Luofeng Village won't be able to get in, and half of the benefits here will be ruined!"

A small guild leader beside him swallowed hard: "Are you sure we won't be discovered?"

Wild Wolf gritted his teeth and said: "We couldn't break in during the day, but night should be fine, right? No matter how weird that baby Archon is, can he really watch every blade of grass outside the village in the middle of the night?"

Lin Chen looked at the map and huffed in a babyish way.

"He is scolding me."

The corners of Xing Jianwan's mouth twitched, and she almost laughed out loud.

Lin Zhe raised his eyes, looking toward the dark, gloomy woods outside the village, and said calmly: "You handle it."

"Okay!"

Lin Chen's spirits instantly lifted.

He slapped his little hands together.

Hum—

The rule-lines within a range of several hundred meters outside the village instantly lit up in his eyes.

The monsters that originally spawned in that area were just level 3 ordinary wild wolves, typically used by low-level players for practice.

But at this moment, with a tap of Lin Chen's little hand, the entire spawn rule was directly twisted.

[Ordinary Wild Wolf → Level 10 Elite Wild Wolf]

[Spawn Count Increased]

[Hostile Trespassers Hate Locked]

The rule was set.

The woods outside the village fell silent for a moment.

The next second.

Pairs of eerie green eyes lit up in unison!

The grass moved.

The bushes erupted.

Dark, dense wolf shadows emerged from all directions, and the low wolf howls instantly merged into one!

"Awooo—!"

The Wild Wolf Gang and the people from those two small guilds had just crept into the spawn range when their footsteps froze.

A mage's face turned pale: "Isn't this place a level 3 monster zone during the day?!"

Wild Wolf was also stunned.

But before he could even speak, over a hundred Elite Wild Wolves came rushing out of the woods in front with a roar!

There were more behind! On the left! And even more on the right!

Dense and crowded, hundreds of them!

All level 10 Elites!

Their fangs were bared, their eyes glowed green, and their health bars were terrifyingly thick!

"Run!"

Wild Wolf's scalp tingled, and he screamed at the top of his lungs.

But it was already too late.

The first Elite Wolf pounced, biting the neck of the warrior in the front, and his health bar instantly bottomed out.

"Ah—!"

The second, third, and fourth ones crashed into the crowd like a tide.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Screams erupted all at once.

"Damn it! Skills! Use your skills, quick!"

"Where are the mages?!"

"My mana bar hasn't even—holy sh*t!"

A mage had just intended to cast a fireball when he was knocked to the ground by two Elite Wolves; before he could even finish chanting, he turned into white light and flew away.

An Archer had just drawn his bow when his arm was knocked askew by a wolf's claw.

An assassin wanted to use stealth to slip away, but as soon as he moved his feet, three wolves behind him pounced together, instantly gnawing him to death.

Wild Wolf slashed wildly with his blue sword, only managing to take off half the health of one Elite Wolf, and when he turned his head, he saw that the eighty-plus people he had brought were already in complete chaos.

It wasn't that they couldn't fight. It was that there was simply no way to fight.

Wolves were everywhere! There were too many of them!

And it was as if they had been targeted from the start; whoever ran the fastest got pounced on first.

"This isn't right! These monsters are coming for us!"

"Wild Wolf! You screwed us over!"

"We agreed on stealing the teleportation array, how did it turn into feeding wolves?!"

"Help! I don't want to drop my equipment!"

White light flashed one after another.

In less than three minutes, the woods outside the village went completely silent.

All that remained on the ground were potions, equipment, and copper coins, with a few Elite Wolves pacing slowly, their eerie green eyes coldly scanning the surroundings.

On the dirt slope, Xing Jianwan looked at the extinguished red dots on the map and took a gentle breath.

"Over eighty of them, all wiped out."

Lin Chen hugged her arm and announced in a milky voice: "The bad guys have been dealt with."

Lin Zhe nodded. "Wild Wolf is still left."

Sure enough. In the resurrection point, Wild Wolf had just walked out of the white light, his face completely twisted.

He had already spent most of his guild's funds to drag the people from the other two small guilds along. Yet in one night, they hadn't even touched the teleportation array before being wiped out by the wolf pack.

The two small guild leaders turned on him on the spot, cursing wildly in the channel, demanding that Wild Wolf compensate them for their equipment and potion costs.

Wild Wolf's eyes turned red. "Compensate my ass!"

"I'm the one who's losing money!"

But no one listened to him anymore. The people from those two small guilds quit the team on the spot and immediately added the Wild Wolf Gang to their blacklist.

Wild Wolf was panting with rage, but in the end, he was still unwilling to give up.

Since brute force didn't work, he would play dirty.

He gritted his teeth again, spent his last bit of money, and hired a few level 10 assassins.

"Don't worry about anything else. Get into the village, sneak up to Lin Zhe, and stab him hard!"

"Even if you can't kill him, test his limits for me!"

The few assassins took the money and entered the village in the middle of the night, hugging the walls, moving very lightly.

They avoided the main road, climbed over the low fence, bypassed patrolling players, and snuck all the way to the vicinity of the dirt slope.

Ten meters. Nine meters. Eight meters.

The assassin in the lead had a ruthless look in his eyes, and just as he raised his dagger—

Hum!

The pale golden shockback shield around Lin Zhe didn't even flicker.

Bang!

The first assassin was sent flying backward, and while still in mid-air, he was instantly killed into white light!

The ones behind hadn't even reacted before they were also sent flying by the rule-based shockback.

Bang! Bang! Bang! White light exploded repeatedly.

From start to finish, they didn't even touch the hem of Lin Zhe's clothes.

When the casual players patrolling by the dirt slope heard the commotion and rushed over, they only saw a few streaks of white light that hadn't quite faded yet.

"Someone tried to sneak attack again?"

"This time they were gone before we even saw who they were?"

"Who was it, wanting to die so badly?"

Xing Jianwan walked out holding Lin Chen, glanced at the few bottles of assassin potions dropped on the ground, and said in a cold voice.

"Wild Wolf Gang."

After that night, the Wild Wolf Gang completely exploded.

First, the sneak attack team was wiped out, losing all their deposits.

Then, the assassin operation failed, and the final payments still had to be paid.

The copper coins and materials in the Wild Wolf Gang's warehouse were completely bottomed out.

Early the next morning, the guild channel was full of withdrawal requests.

"Following you, our equipment is all gone, and our money is all gone!"

"We can't blow up the teleportation array, we can't kill Lin Zhe, and we have to be laughed at every day. I'm done!"

"Quit guild!"

"I'd be better off as a casual player in Luofeng Village than following you!"

Member after member quit. The number dropped crazily.

Twenty people. Fifteen people. Eight people. Three people.

In the end, only Wild Wolf and Yellow Hair remained on the list.

At noon, a small announcement popped up in the server-wide channel.

[Player guild "Wild Wolf Gang" has been automatically disbanded due to lack of funds and insufficient members.]

As soon as the announcement came out, the world channel went crazy laughing.

"The first bankrupt newbie guild in the entire server has been born!"

"Going bankrupt because of an NPC, awesome!"

"Wild Wolf Gang: From monster-stealing bullies to immediate collapse."

"I declare, the most miserable guild in "miracle", bar none!"

At the entrance of Luofeng Village, players grinding monsters looked at the announcement and laughed until they doubled over.

"It finally disbanded!"

"It feels so satisfying to see this foreshadowing resolved."

"Luofeng Village will be much more peaceful from now on."

Lin Zhe stood on the dirt slope, listening to the laughter all around, his expression remaining calm.

Lin Chen snuggled in Xing Jianwan's arms, gave a little yawn, waved his little hand, and adjusted the spawn rules for the Elite Wolves outside the village back to normal.

"The bad guild is gone."

"Dad, you can continue sleeping."
