Chapter 228: Surrounding and Blocking the Forget-Worries Tavern
Time:
19:35:12
In a certain residential area in reality, Dongfang Jing is holding a phone:
"Mm, I'm fine now, don't worry about me."
"Okay, I've got it."
"I have something to do now, I'll contact you later."
"Whatever, I'm fine with anything."
After moving the phone away from her ear, Dongfang Jing hung up the call.
"Beep beep beep~~"
Looking at her newly tidied room, Dongfang Jing nodded in satisfaction.
After eating a little something, Dongfang Jing lay down in the gaming pod and logged into the game.
When Dongfang Jing entered the game and emerged from the teleport point in Black Tortoise City, she was startled by the surrounding scenery.
As the main activity zone for players nowadays, Black Tortoise City shouldn't be this sparsely populated at this time.
Although there were still a steady stream of hurried players around.
But compared to usual, it was far too different.
Only after checking the world channel information and some content on the forums did Dongfang Jing understand what had actually happened during this time.
Without any hesitation, Dongfang Jing clicked on the Teleportation Array and headed to: [Vermilion Bird City].
...
At this moment, Vermilion Bird City could be described as clear and bright, with a pleasant nightscape.
A large round moon hanging high in the sky emitted silvery-white moonlight that spread across the earth.
As one of the Four Major Cities in the Rafam Interior, Vermilion Bird City appeared even more majestic and solemn under the moon's faint glow.
When Dongfang Jing walked out from the teleportation array in Vermilion Bird City, she found that although the city was full of people when looked up, it was actually quite peaceful.
This majestic main city seemed to be pressed with a pause button, everyone stood still as if waiting for something to happen.
Suddenly, in Vermilion Bird Square, the graceful and massive form of the Elf Dragon rose into the sky, causing a gust of gale.
A chorus of envious exclamations erupted around Dongfang Jing:
"Oh my god, having this Elf Dragon mount is truly invincible."
"No matter how many times you see Feng Hua's mount, it's just as shocking."
"The giant dragon is indeed one of the most powerful races in this world, just its massive size alone is almost invincible."
Even Dongfang Jing couldn't help but sincerely admire it at this moment.
A hint of brilliance flashed in her eyes.
Not long after the Elf Dragon left, a Bai Ze exuding an aura of purity suddenly appeared beside the teleportation array, prompting some female players to scream uncontrollably:
"Oh my god, a Bai Ze mount, wow!"
"It's really the Bai Ze, oh my."
Some also noticed Dongfang Jing beside the Bai Ze and exclaimed with shining eyes:
"Isn't this person that mysterious 'Mirror'?"
Male players, as if seeing a woman for the first time, were similarly attracted by Dongfang Jing's exquisite face, saying infatuatedly:
"I'm done for, I'm in love."
Amidst the surrounding calls, Dongfang Jing mounted the Bai Ze.
Like a fairy descending into the mortal world, Bai Ze gracefully spread its pair of pure white feather wings and ran step by step into the sky, chasing in the direction the Elf Dragon left.
The players inside Vermilion Bird City, seeing this scene, sighed one after another:
"Being one of the Creation Mercenary Corps in this lifetime, I could die without regrets."
Among the hundreds of thousands of players, Xiao He gazed bewilderedly at the Bai Ze disappearing before him, sighing silently.
Just then, the system suddenly updated.
[Secret Treasure Hunt] system: "Treasure Vault Key holder: 'Passionate Lolita', coordinates: Vermilion Bird City Worry-Free Tavern 536:318"...
Originally as if paused, Vermilion Bird City instantly started moving after this message was announced.
And within a very short period, it boiled over.
"Worry-Free Tavern, as expected in the north of the city."
Xiao He immediately activated Stealth, rushing towards the Worry-Free Tavern's location.
Meanwhile, players in every corner of Vermilion Bird City, like a great migration, all swarmed toward the Worry-Free Tavern at the same time.
And around the Worry-Free Tavern, Qingyi Yixiong quickly led his twenty plus team to the target area without stopping.
At a fork in the road, Qingyi Yixiong decisively ordered:
"Xiao Ning, take a group and go through the other path, don't let anyone escape, even if they're wearing a Disguiser Mask."
As soon as Qingyi Yixiong finished speaking, he led a group through another path toward the destination.
When Qingyi Yixiong arrived at the destination, quite a few people had already gathered below the Worry-Free Tavern.
These people seemed hesitant about whether to enter.
Seeing this scene, Qingyi Yixiong shouted immediately:
"Take down everyone's name, no one here is allowed to leave now."
Just as the words fell, another group of ten arrived dragging two cursing players:
"Qingyi Pavilion is too overbearing, what makes you entitled to control us?"
"Exactly, we just arrived, why should we listen to you?"
Qingyi Yixiong looked angrily at those shouting:
"Anyone who says another word is opposing Qingyi Pavilion, you'd better think it over before you speak."
Someone pointed at Qingyi Yixiong, furious:
"You guys!"
At that moment, Qingyi Yixiong turned away, ignoring them, and instructed a Qingyi Pavilion player:
"You take a group inside, guard all the private box exits, grab whoever comes out."
(Inside the tavern's private boxes, if the owner does not come out, outsiders cannot forcefully enter unless there's a City Lord's command.)
At these words, more than a dozen Qingyi Pavilion players hurried inside the tavern.
Just then, Shuai Diao Zha rode down from the sky on a Nightmare:
"Got the person?"
As he spoke, Shuai Diao Zha had already jumped off the Nightmare.
Upon seeing him, Qingyi Yixiong's attitude immediately became much more respectful:
"I came as soon as I could, and until now, no one has been allowed to leave."
"Good!"
As the former President of Famous Clan, Shuai Diao Zha's presence was no less than other presidents.
So, upon seeing Shuai Diao Zha, the shouting players immediately fell silent.
Now, Shuai Diao Zha's identity not only represents the former President of Famous Clan, but he is also a member of the Creation Mercenary Corps, with none other than the game's number one player, Feng Hua, backing him.
Even without giving face to Famous Clan, few would dare disregard Feng Hua.
Soon after Shuai Diao Zha arrived, a clan leader of Proud Sanctuary (Proud Blade) rushed over with nearly a hundred players.
Qingyi Yixiong immediately stepped forward to give a brief explanation, and after listening, Proud Blade waved his hand:
"Surround this place entirely; only those with a Disguiser Mask may leave."
While all the players frantically blocked around Worry-Free Tavern, those on the Elf Dragon back were puzzled:
"Where are we going?"
In a secluded forest in the west of Vermilion Bird City, Tian Ci quietly watched the huge figure slowly approaching from afar.
And around Tian Ci, a simple array suddenly emitted a faint dark red glow...
