35: Counterattack, four people are wiped out

Boom!

Zhen Xingshan punched out, directly sending Old Potato flying.

"No, buddy!"

Old Potato stumbled to his feet, his face full of disbelief.

This isn't right!

Shouldn't the gap between a Mortal and a Cultivator be like heaven and earth?

"Watch out!"

The Mage quickly ran over and pulled Old Potato aside.

It turned out that Zhen Xingshan was emitting a bloody Qi, and had just shot a blood sword at Old Potato, almost piercing him!

"He took a Medicinal Pill, which might be similar to some kind of enhancement item."

Midnight Gao Sou's gaze was solemn.

"An item? What game item can enhance someone like this?"

Xiao Daidai was completely stunned.

But then they saw Zhen Xingshan walking towards them, step by step.

He was skin and bones, yet each step he took shattered the ground beneath his feet.

The bloody Qi around him swirled continuously, as if alive, aiming at his enemies.

"Thanks to the Medicinal Pill bestowed by the Immortal Master of Duan Kong Cave, otherwise, I would have had to watch you four beasts escape today..."

Zhen Xingshan said with a ferocious face: "The Immortal Master has already said that you stole the Sect's most precious treasure and massacred the entire Qinghe Town..."

"Wait!"

Midnight Gao Sou quickly shouted: "We did do some wrong things, but we really didn't steal the most precious treasure or massacre the town as you said!"

Zhen Xingshan sneered: "If it wasn't you, then was it the Immortal Master?"

Midnight Gao Sou was speechless; the people of Qinghe Town were indeed forced into the mountains by them. To some extent, he really couldn't refute it.

Old Potato then interjected: "That's right, it was the people from Duan Kong Cave who did it. They were chasing the entire Qinghe Town, which is why we had no choice but to bring them into the mountains with us. It's just that we were truly powerless and couldn't take care of so many people."

Xiao Daidai looked at him, her eyes wide.

Good heavens.

As expected of someone who can use personal connections to clear a game, lies just roll off his tongue, instantly putting himself on a moral high ground.

However, Zhen Xingshan just continued to smile: "Don't talk nonsense! If I don't seek revenge on you, am I supposed to seek revenge on the Immortal Master? Anyway, you're the ones who did it!"

The four streamers were instantly left speechless.

The audience in the live stream also paused for a moment.

"Damn, so this leader is just bullying the weak and fearing the strong!"

"He actually knows this matter is related to Duan Kong Cave, but he just doesn't dare to deal with Duan Kong Cave."

"Initially, I thought Gao Sou's attitude was fine, and the four streamers did make mistakes, but now it seems... good heavens."

"No, I still think Gao Sou and his group are at fault in this matter, and it can't be blamed on the other leader."

"But if there hadn't been a chase from Duan Kong Cave, it wouldn't have escalated to this point, right?"

"Then why don't you say that they provoked the Cultivators of Duan Kong Cave first, which led to the chase?"

The barrage in the live stream started arguing again.

Meanwhile, Midnight Gao Sou and the other three had already been forcefully killed by Zhen Xingshan.

Zhen Xingshan, after swallowing the Medicinal Pill, was like a tiger unleashed from its cage. His boxing and kicking skills were extraordinary, and the bloody Qi around him prevented the four from getting close, leaving them to watch helplessly as they were defeated.

"..."

Midnight Gao Sou looked at the black screen, remaining silent for a long time.

"Gao Sou? How is it? Can we still continue playing?"

Old Potato's voice rang in his ears.

"Should we... retry?"

Midnight Gao Sou hesitated for a moment before suggesting this.

They were a four-person team, sharing a save file, and the cost of restarting would be too great.

"Okay, what do you suggest we retry?"

The Mage's voice sounded.

Xiao Daidai also nodded: "I also think we can restart. I didn't play well before, it was too crude."

Midnight Gao Sou finally managed a small smile: "Let's restart from the beginning. We'll try to get the Opportunity and then leave Qinghe Town directly, without getting into conflict with the people from Duan Kong Cave. That way, there shouldn't be a chase sequence."

"Okay, let's try that."

Soon, the four began to try.

However, things were not as simple as they imagined.

As long as they obtained the ring and began to Cultivate, they would inevitably attract the Cultivators of Duan Kong Cave.

Midnight Gao Sou finally understood that Duan Kong Cave's pursuit of them wasn't because they had offended that junior Cultivator at the beginning.

It was because they possessed a Cultivation Technique that allowed Mortals without a Spiritual Root to Cultivate!

Even if they took the ring and ran, trying their best not to expose themselves, they would still be pursued, because someone in Duan Kong Cave already knew that the Cultivation Technique was hidden in the martial arts hall's utility room!

And if they chose to abandon the Cultivation Technique and honestly follow the plot, they would still ultimately be killed by Duan Kong Cave, because the Cultivators worried they might have secretly learned the Cultivation Technique within.

Now, it was a dead end.

"I understand..."

Old Potato rubbed his temples: "What's important isn't us, nor our relationship with the Cultivators of Duan Kong Cave, but the Cultivation Technique. From the very beginning of the game, we were already in the utility room and had a connection with the Cultivation Technique, so no matter what, we would come into conflict with the people of Duan Kong Cave."

The Mage interjected: "Not necessarily. You could actually just surrender directly and voluntarily hand over the ring, then there wouldn't be a conflict. I saw Old Wang play it that way."

Xiao Daidai added: "Little Wang's save file hasn't been reset, but he's still tied up by the people of Duan Kong Cave and has no game experience at all. Plus, it's uncertain if he'll be able to escape later."

The four thought for a long time but couldn't find a solution.

"Forget it, let's play the beginning as we did before, and just avoid looking for Zhen Xingshan."

Midnight Gao Sou finally spoke after a long silence.

He didn't want to waste everyone's time further because of his mood.

The four streamers continued to play.

At the same time, many clip videos were released on the internet.

"Mortals counter-killing Cultivators? The Xuanhuan Worldview might be overturned!"

"Newbie designer is just a newbie, the unreasonable side of the Xuanhuan worldview revealed!"

"Illogical revenge, this is Huan Meng's plot foundation!"

Without exception, these videos were all criticizing Xuanhuan World.

Undoubtedly, someone was attacking Illusion Dream Game Studio!

"Hmph! Jiang Feng, you've messed up this time, haven't you?"

Xue Sancha of Antarctic Studio watched the videos, sneering repeatedly.

After Xuanhuan World became a big hit, the sales of their turbulent times warrior gradually declined. If this continued, they might not even break even.

Coincidentally, Xue Sancha suddenly discovered a major bug in Xuanhuan World!

"Didn't they say Cultivators are extraordinary? Didn't they say Cultivators break the limits of Mortal Martial Artists? Then how can a Mortal counter-kill a Cultivator? Hmph, creating such a big bug in the worldview and still wanting to revolutionize the industry?"

Xue Sancha laughed gleefully.

Suddenly, he saw a new video appear:

"Basic Laws of Xuanhuan World: The Law of the Jungle and Explosive Cultivation!"

This video was rapidly increasing in views at a visible rate, becoming a huge hit across the entire network!
