Encirclement

Chapter 18: Encirclement

The appearance of the first guild so quickly left Lu Wu utterly surprised. He had not expected Chen Ziyu and that batch of earliest players to reach level 20 so soon.

He closed his eyes and cast his gaze into the underworld.

Around the Netherworld Palace in the underworld, a massive crowd of players had gathered. Standing at the center of them were Chen Ziyu and the NPC Lu Mo.

Chen Ziyu was thrilled. To establish this first guild, his brothers had spent day and night leveling in the Ghost Mountains. In the end, they had pooled together 50 Soul Coins to finally create it.

After opening the guild, a guild option had appeared in his interface. As long as they belonged to the same guild, they could see the locations of other guild members. A guild chat channel had also been unlocked, which was undoubtedly a huge help for their group development.

"Big bro, are you recruiting?"

"Big bro, take me with you! I'm not good at much, but I'm pretty good at spending money!"

"I want to join! Accept my application!"

A group of new players surrounded Chen Ziyu, hoping to join the guild and seek its protection. Chen Ziyu smiled as he checked the applicants' information, only accepting capable players above level 10.

After spending about an hour reviewing the information, Chen Ziyu turned to look at Lu Mo, the NPC beside him, whose expression was calm and whose air seemed otherworldly.

"Brother Lu, how much do you know about Shana, the ghost general entrenched in eastern Bei Qi?"

At the mention of Ghost General Shana, hatred surged into Lu Mo's expression. "My foster father devoted so much effort to raising Shana, yet he chose to betray him for profit! I wish I could kill him with my own hands!"

Chen Ziyu felt that Lu Mo, who often wandered around the Netherworld Palace, seemed more like a living, feeling person than an NPC.

"Brother Lu, we'll definitely avenge this grudge. Do you know the specific situation in the east? I want to scout it out first!"

Lu Mo gave Chen Ziyu a deep look and sighed. "Ghost General Shana commands one hundred thousand ghost soldiers. His forces are immense. He occupies the Glazed Tile Region near the Underworld Sea in the east. If you intend to scout the area, you must watch your safety. Never try to be a hero!"

Chen Ziyu nodded solemnly, then sent a voice message in the guild channel. "All Great Dragon Guild members above level 15, gather near the Netherworld Palace after dinner. We're preparing to take on an exploration quest together!"

Wang Damang: We can watch each other's backs if we go together. Hopefully we can kill a few of Shana's ghost soldiers while we're at it. 😄

Xueli: Charge! Once we finish the quest, I'll have three pieces of Blue Equipment. So nice!

Wang Chao: For the glory of the King of Beiqi!

Seeing the replies in the guild chat, Chen Ziyu smiled faintly before choosing to log off. He planned to finish dinner quickly, then organize the guild for its first group quest.

After Chen Ziyu left, many people still surrounded Lu Mo.

Most of them were female players, completely drawn in by Lu Mo's appearance. They kept pestering him to chat with them.

Over the past few days, Lu Mo had accumulated enormous popularity among female players. His memories had also been implanted with much knowledge of the land of Beiqi, making him a qualified beginner village chief who had helped many players resolve their confusion.

To enrich the players' gaming experience, Lu Wu had already created a second NPC.

He was called the Mysterious Merchant. This NPC was set up as a lucky merchant wandering the land of Beiqi. Players who found him could buy rare items unavailable in the shop.

After watching the players' daily activities, Lu Wu moved God's Perspective to Ye Xue'er, who had purchased Soul Coins.

As the Ghost Mountains came into view, Lu Wu's gaze suddenly sharpened.

Deep within the dense forest, there was actually a squad of ghost soldiers riding wolves.

Their attire reminded Lu Wu of the Ghost Wolf Cavalry from Shana's legion, which Bei Li had told him about.

In a forest within the Ghost Mountains, Ye Xue'er and her hundred-man team continuously launched attacks against the Ghost Wolf Cavalry. However, there was a clear gap in individual strength, causing players to be cut down one after another.

Yet this did not frighten the players away. Under Ye Xue'er's command, they charged forward again and again like crazed lunatics who did not fear death, scattering the Ghost Wolf Cavalry.

"Kill every one of these Bei Qi traitors!" With Ye Xue'er's furious shout, the Guardian Angels players charged once more, surrounding the Ghost Wolf Cavalry and hacking at them fiercely.

At last, under the players' frenzied assault, several Ghost Wolf Cavalry soldiers could no longer hold on and fell from their wolves' backs. But what greeted them was the players' ruthless hacking, cutting them down where they fell.

"They're trying to run! Surround them! Don't let a single one escape!"

Seeing that the Ghost Wolf Cavalry no longer wished to fight and intended to leave, the players naturally refused to let them go. After all, they had sacrificed many brothers just to kill these Ghost Wolf Cavalry soldiers.

The crowd immediately formed a circle, trapping the Ghost Wolf Cavalry in place.

Amid the Giant Wolves' howls, the players steadily tightened the encirclement, and terror appeared on the faces of the Ghost Wolf Cavalry soldiers.

They could not understand why so many strange ghost clans had appeared here, or why they all called themselves descendants of the King of Beiqi.

After the King of Beiqi had died, all his subordinates had supposedly betrayed him. The appearance of these people was therefore extremely strange.

"Don't let a single one go! Kill!" With Ye Xue'er's sharp cry, the players rapidly shrank the encirclement. The berserkers at the front used their bodies to meet the Ghost Wolf Cavalry soldiers' slashing blades, determined to strike them even if they died.

Under this mad assault, the Ghost Wolf Cavalry squad finally could not endure any longer. After the last Ghost Wolf Cavalry soldier was ambushed and slain by Ye Xue'er, the entire squad was wiped out.

"Whoa, badass!"

"666! We finally chopped those traitors to death!"

"Boss Xue'er is amazing!"

The players burst into cheers, and Ye Xue'er proudly smiled.

"Huh? That ghost soldier dropped something!"

At that moment, the Ghost Wolf Cavalry soldiers' bodies were broken down by the artifact, leaving behind the armor and weapons they had worn.

"Whoa, level 10 basic armor and a level 10 blue sword!"

Seeing that the dropped items could actually be equipped, the crowd erupted in commotion and rushed forward in a scramble to pick them up.

Ye Xue'er did not stop them, because she knew they had earned them. Besides, she already had level 10 red defensive gear. Why would she care about such ordinary items?

After the distribution was finished, Ye Xue'er faced everyone and grandly waved her dagger.

"Brothers, go eat dinner. After dinner, we'll head to the Glazed Tile Region in the east and find more traitorous ghost soldiers to kill. By then, every one of us will have a blue weapon. Everyone gets one! Once I reach level 20, I'll establish a guild. We're going to become the first guild in this game! Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" the players below shouted in unison.

Hearing this, Ye Xue'er wore a delighted smile.
