NOVEL NEXT Chapter 223: Ambushed Midway, Earthquake!
South of Vermilion Bird City, after crossing the South City Plain, one can see a ruin teeming with rubble from afar.
Above the ruins, distinctively styled buildings can still vaguely indicate the grandeur and awe of this place in the past.
Yet, with the passage of time, this once bustling city has turned into an uninhabited wasteland.
Only the fierce-looking spirit monsters wander back and forth in the ruins as if patrolling their own territory.
Between the old city ruins and Tiger Roar Pool, there is a moat about ten meters deep, long since dried up, separating the two places.
To get from Tiger Roar Pool to Xuejian Valley most quickly, traversing the ruins of the old city is the best option.
To enter the old city ruins from Tiger Roar Pool, one must cross the Giant Stone Bridge over the moat at the south gate of the ruins.
As Shengshi Drunkard crossed Tiger Roar Pool, escorted by a group of elites, he gazed at the figures on the Giant Stone Bridge from afar.
With a chilled expression, Shengshi Drunkard said:
"Our people shouldn't have arrived here so quickly, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from the front of the Giant Stone Bridge:
"Drunkard Boss, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
Shengshi Wei Xiao suddenly said:
"Everyone, be on guard."
To ensure Shengshi Drunkard's safe arrival here and minimize the chance of being spotted,
after careful consideration, this time Shengshi Drunkard only brought fifty top-tier Shengshi players for escort.
Initially fifty, but after crossing Tiger Roar Pool, now there were less than twenty left.
At Shengshi Wei Xiao's command, five Shield Warriors immediately protected Shengshi Drunkard in the center.
Meanwhile, Shengshi Wei Xiao issued an emergency call for support within the team.
The team members included guild presidents from major guilds, as well as Lin Yi and others.
Lin Yi responded immediately in the team channel and was already rushing to the scene.
However, even with the speed of the Elf Dragon, it would take at least three to four minutes to get from Rebel Canyon to the edge of Tiger Roar Pool.
When nearly a hundred figures surrounded Shengshi Drunkard and his group, Shengshi Wei Xiao felt a chill in his heart.
Shengshi Drunkard shouted:
"Who are you? Could you tell me your name so I can admit defeat gracefully?"
The other party replied:
"Ha, as expected of the leading guild president in the online gaming world for so long, still calm enough to try and stall for support at this time."
A man wearing a Disguiser Mask appeared under a beam of moonlight, looking coldly at the Shengshi group, and sneered:
"You think I'll give you the chance?"
Suddenly, a dozen Thieves emerged around the Shengshi team, rushing straight towards the fragile professions like Shengshi Wei Xiao beside Shengshi Drunkard.
Remaining composed, Shengshi Wei Xiao said:
"Drunkard Boss, run back, everyone else cover."
However, Shengshi Drunkard anxiously said:
"Protect Wei Xiao."
Two Shield Warriors, holding their shields, activated Skills towards two Thieves sneaking up on Wei Xiao:
"Charge!"
"-128"
"Charge!"
"-117"
System: Passive triggered, target stunned for 1s.
The two Thieves were instantly blocked, allowing Shengshi Wei Xiao to retreat to the side:
"Don't worry about me, Drunkard, just go."
Shengshi Drunkard cursed unwillingly:
"Bastard!"
At this moment, Drunkard activated the first skill of his hidden profession towards behind:
"Barbaric Sprint!"
Then Drunkard crossed axes over his chest, rushing forward.
"-321"
System: Passive triggered, target knocked back.
"-349" Critical Strike～
System: Passive triggered, target knocked back.
The two Shield Warriors guarding at the back were instantly knocked back three steps, one staggered almost falling.
They thought Shengshi Drunkard would forcefully break through, but didn't expect him to choose to run back instead.
The other party immediately realized Drunkard's intent, and hurriedly shouted:
"He's trying to run back, stop him!"
Shengshi Wei Xiao, while healing, reminded nearby teammates:
"Quick, stop those Thieves."
Two injured Elf Shooters attacked the opposing Thieves.
However, as soon as the arrows left the string, a cold gleam took both Elf Shooters instantly: instant kill!
At this time, Shengshi Drunkard had already been blocked by an earth wall that suddenly appeared, cutting off his path.
"If you want to leave, leave the key."
Seeing the only escape route blocked, whether bypassing or breaking the earth wall would be pursued instantly by the opponent.
In a flash of thought, knowing escape was hopeless, Shengshi Drunkard directly turned swinging his dual axes:
"Mad Demon Chaos Battle"
The two Thieves who had approached were directly cleaved by the rapidly spinning axes,
"-783"
"-683"
"-806" Critical Strike～
"-751"
The two Thieves suffered two hits each and were killed instantly on the spot.
The opposing side watched this scene, unable to resist exclaiming:
"Looks like the rumors are true, indeed worthy of being the number one Frenzy Warrior, what a pity..."
When Shengshi Drunkard turned around, he saw that the followers like Shengshi Wei Xiao had all vanished in white light under the opponent's slaughter.
Sighting this scene, Shengshi Drunkard looked furiously at the leading man opposite, his eyes red with anger, and shouted:
"Who are you!"
Just then, someone suddenly said:
"Hurry, Feng Hua is here."
Someone had already spotted a colorful light point appearing in the sky.
Soon, it would arrive in seconds.
Upon hearing this, Shengshi Drunkard was glad.
No matter what, as long as Feng Hua was here, all problems would be resolved.
Yet, at this moment, Shengshi Drunkard saw a cold smile on the leading man's lips across from him.
Shengshi Drunkard tensed up, hurriedly taking a defensive stance.
But in the face of absolute power, all resistance was futile.
A dozen Shield Warriors launched:
"Charge!"
Leaving Shengshi Drunkard no room to hide.
Vaguely, a furious shout from Feng Hua came from the sky:
"Stop it!"
But at this moment, dozens of spells and arrows pierced through the air, not giving Drunkard any chance to struggle, and he was instantly killed.
"Ding!"
A golden key fell to the ground.
Alongside it lay the axe Shengshi Drunkard had been holding.
The man walked up directly to pick up the key and axe, turned and rushed towards the Giant Stone Bridge, leaving behind a sentence:
"Block them for me."
As he entered the old city ruins through the Giant Stone Bridge, a Dragon's Roar sounded from the sky:
"Feng Hua, it's Feng Hua and the others."
Suddenly, a scorching flame descended from the sky.
With a "boom," a loud explosion sounded from the head of the Giant Stone Bridge.
...
[Treasure Battle] System: "Treasure Vault Key Holder: 'Fu Chen', Coordinates: Old City Ruins 33:158"...
Countless players rushing towards Tiger Roar Pool were bewildered, and endless glances exchanged.
Originally expecting Shengshi Drunkard to escape with a stratagem like a cicada shedding its shell, only to be intercepted in the end?
The game was in an uproar, with countless people changing direction, rushing towards the old city ruins.
In the Resurrection Divine Hall in Vermilion Bird City, Shengshi Drunkard walked out from the revival point with a sombre face, gritting his teeth:
"Fu Chen of Divine Court, just you wait!"
Then he issued a command within the guild:
Shengshi Drunkard (Guild President): "Surround all exits of the old city ruins for me!"
At this moment, Shengshi Drunkard wore a ferocious expression and said:
"Dare to take my things, I'll make you pay back a hundredfold!"
