160: Mission Impossible

"Brother Long, Brother Long!" A figure ran out of the forest, calling softly.

He then saw half a figure and pounced to hide.

"How's it going, Rat?" a man asked.

"Brother Long, I went to check. Let's give up. Our guild can't complete this mission," Rat advised.

"What's going on?" Black Dragon asked.

Their Nine Beasts Guild had nine top players. Even Rat, the weakest, possessed the strength of a Half-step Martial General. He himself was in the late stage of an Initial-stage Martial General, possessing great strength.

What's more, the town before them was just a shell, having just been promoted to a town, which was merely the strength of a Level 3 village!

What kind of town's strength would make Rat say such a thing?

"Brother Long, they are not an ordinary village. They have Qin Crossbows!

Those Mountain Bandits hadn't even touched their clothes before they were shot dead halfway," Rat explained what he had seen.

The young man beside him pulled out a crossbow from his Pregnant and said with a sneer:

"We have Qin Crossbows too, what's there to be afraid of?

Moreover, it's too difficult to seize Qin Crossbows from the Qin Army, and we'd have to face the Qin Army's pursuit and hunt. It just so happens that this place has Qin Crossbows; it's practically prepared for us!"

"Cang Gou is right, so shall we try?" Guild Leader Black Dragon licked his lips and said.

"Let's try it!" Cang Gou laughed.

Rat hesitated, glanced at the Vice Guild Leader Tiger beside him, and Tiger said to everyone:

"I don't agree.

The game system issued a mission to slaughter this town, and the reward is three thousand taels of silver!

If it were easy, would it offer such a high amount of silver?

Furthermore, this is the territory of the Black Tiger Society. We've brought three hundred people; it's simply impossible to succeed!"

"Tiger, you're just too timid. It's just a Level 3 small village. We haven't slaughtered one before, what are you afraid of?" Cang Gou laughed disdainfully.

"Cang Gou is right! Tiger, come with us. We didn't bring many people, and without you, we will lose a lot of combat power!" Black Dragon said in a deep voice.

"I'm not going, I have the right to withdraw!" Tiger maintained his stance, refusing to compromise.

"Guild Leader, don't waste your breath on this kitten. Three hundred of us are enough!" Cang Gou looked at Tiger playfully.

Tiger didn't argue, remaining unmoved.

Black Dragon was hesitant at this moment, considering whether or not to attack, but was finally swayed by Cang Gou's words.

"A head falling off is just a big scar. We can revive after death, what's there to be afraid of!" Cang Gou said with overwhelming dominance.

"Alright, let's go!

Tiger, if you're not going, stay here and provide support. You won't get a share of the spoils this time." Black Dragon glanced at Tiger, gripped his long saber, and ran forward covertly.

"And me, I'm not going either," Rat said weakly, raising his hand.

No one paid him any mind. As the weakest among the nine players, no one took him seriously.

Until only two people remained, Rat and Tiger exchanged a knowing smile.

"As if I'd get spoils of war if I went." Tiger no longer concealed the sarcasm in his eyes. Black Dragon's trip this time was a death trap!

"Guild Leader, are we leaving directly or staying here?" Rat laughed.

Tiger was pleased with the title, then said sinisterly, "We still have to wait for someone, and incidentally, see how the former Guild Leader leads three hundred original inhabitants to their deaths!"

"Guild Leader's brilliant insight!

But who are we waiting for?" Rat asked. His position should be elevated after this return, as Yellow Rabbit and Thousand-Mile Horse were Black Dragon's real-life friends, and Tiger wouldn't let them off.

"You'll know when you wait.

Also, when it's just the two of us, don't be so formal. We can call each other by our nicknames," Tiger laughed.

"Yes, Guild Leader!" Rat laughed.

The two exchanged a smile, then quietly hid. They had received the system-issued mission a hundred li away from Heye City, so there must be many Mountain Bandits interested in coming here, and those who could still plunder in this weather were not weak!

They had to be careful, lest they be double-crossed!

The two waited quietly like this. Soon, rustling sounds began, and someone was running towards them, crunching on snow.

Tiger and Rat's expressions tensed, then they finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing who it was.

"Tiger!" Cang Gou shouted!

"Black Dragon is dead?" Tiger asked.

"Let's go quickly, that Martial General is simply inhuman! If I hadn't refrained from rushing forward at the critical moment, I wouldn't have been able to escape." Cang Gou's heart was pounding non-stop, clearly still not having recovered.

"What happened, tell me in detail!" Tiger asked.

"Black Dragon dodged the crossbow bolts, but just as he was about to enter the village, he encountered a Martial General, over two meters tall. With one slash of his saber, the scene was gruesome!"

"Did you get his spatial ring back? There should be many good things inside!" Tiger didn't dwell on the Martial General, but was more concerned about Black Dragon's spatial ring.

He usually relied on his position as Guild Leader to arbitrarily deduct their spoils of war, and sometimes he secretly distributed the spoils to his loyal native inhabitants. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have ended up with such widespread betrayal.

There wouldn't be few spoils of war in Black Dragon's spatial ring! What's more, a spatial ring itself was a treasure!

"How could I get it? How could I get it!

Black Dragon disappeared before he even had a chance to vanish after death!" Cang Gou said with lingering fear.

"What do you mean 'disappeared'? He didn't have some treasure protecting him, so he didn't die, right?" Tiger asked with a deep frown.

"Come on, I saw it. That Martial General slashed him, and his entire body turned into countless fragments that fell to the ground. You couldn't even find two catties of his bones," Cang Gou chuckled.

"That fierce?" Tiger's mouth dropped open in disbelief.

Black Dragon was in the late stage of an Initial-stage Martial General. Although his cultivation was boosted by privately pocketing spoils of war and his realm was unstable, he shouldn't be instantly killed by one strike. What realm must that Martial General be in!

"I'd like to ask, what's the situation now?" Rat asked weakly, raising his hand.

"Ah, this is my good brother, my high school roommate," Tiger said, putting his arm around Cang Gou's shoulder, laughing.

"Pure brothers!" Cang Gou laughed.

Rat was a bit dumbfounded.

"Black Dragon secretly tried to win over Cang Gou to get rid of me. After Cang Gou told me, I had no choice but to resist," Tiger said to Rat, fearing that Rat might have some thoughts about him.

"A spy within a spy!" Rat exclaimed.

"Something like that. He first tried to win over players, then used treasures to raise the realm of his loyal native inhabitants. If I had waited any longer, it would have been nothing more than waiting for death, ultimately ending up with my head in a different place," Tiger sighed.

After Tiger finished speaking, he originally expected Rat's comfort, but unexpectedly, Rat's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed:

"Guild Leader, players in the regional chat are discussing combining forces to attack Houjia Town!"

The few of them instantly all entered the channel, looking at the messages in the regional channel.

The few of them exchanged glances, then Tiger said, "We won't participate, let's go back."

"I estimate there should be several thousand elites, Guild Leader, are you sure you're not participating?" Rat asked.

Tiger and Cang Gou exchanged glances, then Tiger said:

"The greater the temptation, the more likely it is a trap.

Currently, going back to take over the guild is the most important thing!"

"But opportunities are fleeting..." Rat still wanted to say something, but saw Tiger and Cang Gou leave without looking back after he finished speaking, not giving him a chance to continue.

Rat stomped his foot and still chased after them!
