162: The oriole is behind
As the sun rose, many surviving Mountain Bandits had returned to the mountains, preparing to gather their Brothers and begin their retreat.
This town was a tough nut to crack; they almost broke their teeth this time.
If they hadn't all been careful and run when things looked bad, they would probably be lying there too.
They would never come to Houjia Town again to seek trouble!
Just as they returned to the mountains in disarray, they found that they couldn't find their Brothers. Only then, upon opening their friend system, did they discover over 99+ friend messages!
They immediately opened the friend message interface, and then everything went black, and they all nearly collapsed.
Some of those with stronger mental fortitude began to roar at the nearby players:
"Who the f*** is from the Zen Guild? Step forward!"
"Which one of you is the guild leader of the War Sky Guild!"
"Which one of you is from the 'I Am Not' Guild? Ah!" A player, now completely disoriented, roared hysterically!
"What 'I Am Not' Guild? You must have been hit too hard, what nonsense are you spouting?" a tall player said, annoyed.
"Is it you, ah, you're from that 'I Am Not' Guild, aren't you?
You f***ing backstabbed me, didn't you!" The player grabbed him by the collar and roared.
"Don't play crazy with me. During the charge, you were the one dragging your feet and not putting in any effort.
Now you want to go mad? Nobody here will humor you!" The tall player pushed him to the ground.
"Then who are you, ah!" The player stood up and rushed forward to ask.
"I am Zhao Xin, the guild leader of the 'Three Hundred Million Girls' Dream' Guild!
I'm warning you for the last time, don't mess with me! You can't handle the consequences!" The tall player said angrily. Although he had just experienced a defeat, his strength was formidable, and he hadn't suffered any fundamental damage. So, he still retained some sanity and didn't want to get into a conflict at this moment.
Hearing this, the deranged player realized he had been somewhat out of line. He had also heard of the 'Three Hundred Million Girls' Dream' Guild and knew it wasn't one he could afford to provoke, so he intended to step forward and explain.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Zhao Xin was knocked to the ground by a single punch from someone, a scene that shocked everyone!
"You f***ing Zhao Xin, you're the one who backstabbed me, aren't you?" A bald player stepped forward, stomping on his face with the sole of his shoe, and roared.
"Go to hell!" Zhao Xin reacted by throwing a punch at the man.
The scene immediately descended into chaos!
It turned into a free-for-all!
Just then, a Mountain Bandit minion ran up to find the guild leader.
The man, who looked like a guild leader, asked the running minion, "Who attacked our guild members?"
"Guild leader, that person said he was from the Fury Kill Guild!
If I hadn't used a trick to scare him away, I'm afraid we would have been completely wiped out," the minion said.
"Damn it, it was actually the Fury Kill Guild!" The guild leader roared in anger, then was about to shout, but he suddenly reacted and asked, "Isn't the Fury Kill Guild our guild?"
"Yes, but that's what he said," the minion replied.
The Fury Kill Guild leader's eyes darted around. His mind had been somewhat heated by the scene just now, but now that he had calmed down, he realized something was wrong.
This was a trap!
Thinking of this, his hands and feet turned cold, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead!
Then he shouted, "Damn it, fight!"
He threw the long saber in his hand into the chaotic crowd and then, with the minion, ran off in a flash!
Halfway through, he looked back and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them fighting even more intensely.
Only the more intensely they fought, the safer his escape would be!
If they couldn't see such a simple trap, then they couldn't blame him!
Sacrifice a friend, not myself. He just wanted to go home now; the outside world was too deep, and he couldn't quite grasp it anymore!
Then he led the minion into another patch of jungle!
Then he stood still, unmoving.
He forced a smile, cupped his hands, and asked, "I am Sun Xu, the guild leader of the Fury Kill Guild. May I ask you brave heroes if you would allow me to pass? I will surely repay you with a generous gift, and I will be eternally grateful!"
"Hehehe, I've been waiting for you guys for a long time!" a masked man laughed.
"Did you come specifically for us?" Sun Xu asked, cold sweat pouring down his forehead as things had far exceeded his expectations.
"Of course, your target was that small town, but our target has always been you!" the masked man said with a sinister laugh.
Sun Xu instinctively took a step back, swallowed, and asked, "Are you from the East Kill Guild?"
The East Kill Guild was the guild in this hundred-mile radius that most enjoyed 'black-on-black' tactics, relying on its strength to commit countless evil deeds, and had already become the public enemy of many guilds!
But because their whereabouts were elusive, there had been no clues, and he hadn't expected them to be waiting here today!
Most of their guilds had suffered heavy losses this time. Wouldn't they be completely wiped out by the East Kill Guild today?
This matter only benefited them the most. Could it be that the East Kill Guild had orchestrated it all?
Sun Xu felt he had grasped the truth!
"Big Brother, this kid revealed our information in the regional channel and said everything was a trap designed by us!" one of the masked men said urgently.
"Second Brother, kill him, and don't talk nonsense anymore!
Don't you know villains die from talking too much!" The leading man scolded, and then Second Brother stepped forward. Sun Xu instinctively ran backward, but it was too late!
Meanwhile, the distant fighting crowd was interrupted by a voice!
"Stop!"
"Stop! Look at the regional chat channel!" a player shouted!
Then, everyone stopped in confusion and, after seeing the message, all showed expressions of disbelief!
"Damn it, it's those brats from the East Kill Guild!"
"Brothers, it's a trap, kill him with me!"
"I was actually deceived, I'm going to kill him!"
Those who could become guild leaders or high-ranking guild members, once their minds calmed down, could easily deduce the truth of the matter!
In just an instant, they understood that they had been deceived, and they understood the whole story!
All of this was actually a trap by the East Kill Guild!
Only, that was what they believed.
Immediately, they all rushed towards the coordinates Sun Xu had given!
They had now abandoned their disputes and conflicts, showing extraordinary unity, because they knew that only by sticking together at this moment could they possibly escape with their lives!
At this moment, a great battle in the mountains was on the verge of breaking out!
In the small town, however, it was quiet and peaceful.
Lin Yue sipped his hot tea, listening to Hou Da's report.
"My Lord, in this battle, one thousand five hundred and twelve bodies were left outside the town, and approximately five hundred more Outsiders disappeared after dying.
These are the storage bags and spatial rings; please inspect them, My Lord!" Hou Da said.
Then, two Soldiers behind Hou Da moved the spoils of war in front of Lin Yue.
Lin Yue took a look, and wow!
There were about two hundred storage bags and even five spatial rings!
What a great harvest!
These Mountain Bandits, who were a challenge for other players, were simply a system-given benefit for him!
