The Players all got excited when they saw the updated quests on the quest panel.
"Haha, more fighting!"
"Let's go, let's go!"
"My big stick is already thirsty and impatient!"
The Players excitedly gathered at the coordinates indicated in the quests.
This game was good in every way, except that there were too few opportunities for combat!
In other games, the wilderness was teeming with monsters, and they would respawn immediately after being killed, so you could never kill them all.
But in this game, according to the official website, to increase the game's realism, monsters would not respawn directly.
If you wanted to kill monsters to level up, you had to find them yourself in the wild.
If you were unlucky, you might not even encounter a few in a whole day.
The strength of the monsters also varied greatly.
If you were unlucky, you'd only encounter wild chickens and rabbits, which didn't give much experience when killed. It was better to stay in the valley and chop wood or gather resources.
Because of this, the Players had even posted on the forum to protest, demanding an increase in the number of wild monsters.
The official website's reply was somewhat satisfactory.
The planner "A Feng" personally promised that the Illusion Realm system would be added in the near future to satisfy the Players' need to kill monsters and level up.
With the promise, the Players were finally content, transforming their dissatisfaction with the low monster respawn rate into anticipation for the Illusion Realm system.
Outside the valley.
Da Qing's team had just finished hunting a Wild Deer and were about to look for their next prey when they received the quest update notification.
"Gather at the valley to prepare for battle? Are the Jackalmen here again?"
The Ranger glanced at the system quest and asked curiously.
They hunted outside the valley all day and had a good understanding of the strength of the beasts near the valley.
There were indeed a few powerful beasts nearby that a single small team could not handle.
But the strength of these few beasts was not enough to warrant the Tribe Leader summoning all online Players to deal with them.
He even felt that these fierce beasts were no match for the Tribe Leader in a one-on-one fight.
Whatever the Tribe Leader took so seriously, it was highly likely to be an attack from the nearby Jackalmen!
"Probably."
Da Qing nodded, agreeing with the Ranger's guess.
Unless the planners had added some new hostile faction nearby, it was most likely a Jackalmen invasion.
As the two were talking, a group of figures suddenly appeared in the distance.
"Jackalmen!"
Su Ziye exclaimed.
They all looked into the distance in unison and saw a group of Jackalmen walking towards them in the wilderness.
By estimation, there were at least twenty to thirty of them!
"Run!"
Da Qing shouted, abandoning the Wild Deer they had just hunted, and turned to run towards the valley.
He was confident in his team's strength.
Having entered the game the earliest, he had already reached level 4, second only to Jiu Guo San Xun, who had gotten lucky in the last battle and received the quest to lure the Jackalmen.
The other four teammates were also close to level 4.
In terms of strength, their team was definitely the strongest among the thirty Players currently online.
But no matter how confident he was in his team's strength, he didn't believe they could take on twenty to thirty Jackalmen.
The best course of action was to flee!
Actually, without him saying anything, the other four teammates were no slower than him in their escape. Especially the Agility Class Ranger and Tou Lan You Dian Ku, who were already ten meters ahead.
In the distance, the Jackalmen naturally saw Da Qing and the other four.
"Big brother, should we chase them?"
A Jackalman asked Lie Xiong.
The arrow on Lie Xiong's shoulder had been pulled out, and the wound had been roughly bandaged.
"No need."
Lie Xiong looked at the five fleeing Humans, then glanced at the valley in the distance, which was already within sight. He grinned and shook his head.
"Anyway, if they escape back to the valley, they'll just be waiting to die inside!"
Da Qing looked back as he ran and let out a long sigh of relief when he saw that the Jackalmen behind them weren't chasing.
It's not exactly close to the valley, nor is it far. If the Jackalmen really chased them in a crawling state, besides the Ranger and Tou Lan, who are Agility Class, the other three might not be able to escape.
The five of them sprinted back to the valley.
At the valley entrance, Lin Feng was leading a group of players, ready for battle.
"What's going on?"
If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
The Ranger was the first to run into the valley. Seeing him run so urgently, Kaleidoscope curiously asked.
"Jackalmen, a group of Jackalmen came from outside, twenty or thirty, even more!"
The Ranger said breathlessly.
He only glanced, didn't count carefully, and wasn't sure of the exact number of Jackalmen.
So he didn't dare to speak carelessly.
If the number he stated differed too much from the actual number, misleading the Tribe Leader's judgment of the situation, the sin would be great.
Many players had already guessed that the Tribe Leader issued the quest to gather all online players because of the Jackalmen attack. Now that it was confirmed by the Ranger, their eyes lit up, and they became excited.
Fighting Jackalmen, they were familiar with it!
Lin Feng was also listening.
Upon hearing that the invaders were indeed Jackalmen, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Compared to some unknown creatures, he preferred Jackalmen to come, as the risk was controllable.
Especially according to the situation brought back by the Ranger, the number of invading Jackalmen was within an acceptable range.
While they were talking, Da Qing and the other three entered the valley closely behind the Ranger.
"Why haven't Wu Zui and the others returned yet?"
Not seeing the figures of I Shoot You Innocent and the other four, Da Qing asked somewhat strangely.
He and I Shoot You Innocent were among the first to enter the game, and their relationship was quite good.
"They ran into Jackalmen while hunting and were wiped out."
Lin Feng said.
"Haha, what bad luck!"
Da Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Despite their good relationship, it didn't stop him from gloating when the other party made a fool of themselves.
Anyway, they could revive after death.
"The Jackalmen are coming, grab your weapons and prepare to fight!"
Lin Feng's gaze towards the distance sharpened, and he said sternly.
The figures of Jackalmen had already appeared on the distant horizon. Lin Feng roughly counted them, about thirty.
The number was acceptable.
Unlike the thirteen Jackalmen who appeared last time, these Jackalmen had a clear target, heading straight for the valley.
Obviously, they already knew the situation in the valley.
This also indicated that there had indeed been Jackalmen scouts in the valley.
This made Lin Feng curious, how did the Jackalmen scouts enter the valley without being discovered?
Although the Outer Valley was large, many players were active there. A Jackalman over two meters tall entering would not go unnoticed by the players.
"Tribe Leader, should we hide and set up an ambush?"
Kaleidoscope, standing beside Lin Feng, suggested.
"No need." Lin Feng shook his head. "The Jackalmen are prepared this time, so an ambush wouldn't be very effective. Prepare for a tough fight!"
"Alright!"
The players excitedly raised their weapons.
They weren't afraid of tough fights; the more intense the battle, the more exhilarating it was.
At worst, they could just re-enter the game after twenty-four hours!
Lin Feng looked at the excited players, a slight smile curving his lips.
His mindset when facing the Jackalmen this time was completely different from last time.
Last time, he faced a Jackalmen reconnaissance team. Once they brought the news of the valley back, no one knew how many Jackalmen the Jackalmen tribe would send.
If fifty or sixty came at once, the tribe might face annihilation.
Even if the players could revive after death, what about him and his five children?
Therefore, he had to annihilate all the Jackalmen, leaving none behind!
This time, it was different.
The Jackalmen's expedition numbered only around thirty. He wasn't afraid of such a small group of Jackalmen at all.
The Players' levels had all reached 3, with some even reaching 4. Their combat power had increased significantly compared to before.
With him holding the line, defeating these thirty Jackalmen wouldn't be difficult at all.
According to the intelligence brought back by Da Qing's squad, the Jackalmen Tribe had around sixty to seventy members in total.
Even if they had eighty.
Thirteen had died last time. If they could kill twenty this time, there would only be over forty Jackalmen left.
By then, even if the Jackalmen attacked with their full force, he wouldn't be afraid!
In fact, if this battle yielded significant results, he could even consider launching a counter-offensive against the Jackalmen Tribe!
Coincidentally, he had promised the Players on the forum a few days ago that he would activate the Illusion Realm system. Wiping out the Jackalmen Tribe sooner would allow him to fulfill his promise earlier.
