A cloud of dust was rising steadily over the rugged, rocky wilderness.
The leader rode a five-legged Hoofed Beast, their bodies rising and falling in sync.
Behind him, nearly a hundred Blood Corpse were roaring and howling as they charged forward, as if they were about to tear him to shreds at any moment.
Meanwhile, several other players were doing the same thing in other parts of the wilderness.
The group was currently implementing the tactic of " Elderly and Children Fly First," which involved luring wild Blood Corpse from outside the ruins of Klaf City and then guiding them to the entrance to the underground area.
[ Zhongde ] was vigorously whipping the Hoofed Beast beneath him, shouting meaningless "Giddy up! Giddy up!", but his face showed no sign of tension, instead revealing a sense of exhilaration.
During his vacation after the college entrance examination, he traveled with his family and experienced horseback riding for the first time.
Although it was only a short ride on horseback, the feeling lingered in his mind ever since.
Today, he has found himself in a similar situation in World of Disorder, and the experience is far superior to that in the real world.
Because Hoofed Beast are far more physically capable than real horses, they can reach speeds slightly slower than ordinary cars when not pulling a carriage.
[ Zhongde ] on the Hoofed Beast's back opened the settings panel and set the synchronization rate of all five senses to 100%.
The moment he clicked confirm, he felt a gust of wind brush against his cheek.
The clatter of hooves, the howls of Blood Corpse behind us, the stench of decay unique to monsters...
His senses were extremely satisfied at this moment. Except for his sense of taste, which had not yet fully developed, his senses of sight, hearing, smell, and touch were all frantically sending signals to his brain to release dopamine.
After traveling for a while, he finally arrived at the relatively flat area where Klaf City was located.
He spotted another cloud of dust from a distance, and after confirming his partner's location on the minimap, he began to execute his plan.
The plan to Elderly and Children Fly First can be roughly divided into three steps:
Pull the monsters, break aggro, and follow the Blood Corpse underground.
Now they are about to proceed with the second step – to distance themselves from the hatred.
The Blood Corpse are already quite fast at charging, so you have to keep a long distance from them to break aggro.
As for the method...
[ The Retreat Drum Player ]'s idea was to set up a trap of caltrops, while [ Howling Pothos ] suggested that the Blood Corpse get in their way.
The Hoofed Beast ran for another minute, and [ Zhongde ] saw the opposing player's ID in his field of vision: [ Read Without Replying ].
The fact that the ID can be displayed generally indicates that the distance between the two is within 100 meters.
The two exchanged a simple hand gesture and, according to the established plan, began another acceleration.
Eighty meters, sixty meters, forty meters...
With the Hoofed Beast galloping at high speed, the distance between the two riders quickly shortened.
Just as they were about to collide with their mounts, they simultaneously yanked the reins hard, making a turn that they could only manage at their current speed.
The two Hoofed Beast pounded their five or six legs incessantly, finally forcing the two fast-moving people to make a turn.
The two riders then accelerated again, and the two mindless, Blood Corpse behind them collided.
The sound of bones breaking was masked by flesh and turned into a series of dull thuds, interspersed with the sounds of sharp claws tearing through flesh.
At this moment, their former companions became the biggest obstacle on their path to capturing prey.
Half of the Blood Corpse Blood Corpse to go east, but were blocked in place by the other half, who wanted to go west.
They jostled, pushed, and hindered each other, causing a stampede in the boundless wilderness.
Turning his head to look at the pile of Blood Corpse that were obstructing and trampling each other, [ Zhongde ] remembered a multiplayer game he had once played.
"Ha ha."
He quickly took a screenshot, opened the forum, posted it, and added the caption: [ Blood Corpse utterly defeated].
"Da da da~"
[ Read Without Replying ] rode a six-legged Hoofed Beast that circled around to [ Zhongde ]'s side. The two looked at the Blood Corpse in the distance that had fallen into a state of chaos, and tacitly gave each other a high five in the air.
A few minutes later, when the two groups of Blood Corpse struggled out of their chaotic state, the prey had long since disappeared from their sight and perception.
Driven by instinct, they lowered their backs again and began to wander aimlessly around.
The crowded horde of corpses began to disperse little by little, like a sugar ball dissolving in hot water.
"Plan succeeded, next up is the second group..."
Gazing at the scene in the distance, the three team leaders, [ Retreat Drum Player ], [ Elderly and Children Fly First ], and [ Howling Pothos ], made their judgment.
To obtain the best experimental results, and also for the safety of the six riders, the three ultimately divided the six Hoofed Beast drivers into pairs.
Less than half an hour later, three unrelated groups of Blood Corpse appeared throughout the ruins of Klaf City, each group consisting of approximately two to three hundred people.
The six riders had now returned to the group and re-tethered the Hoofed Beast to the front of the carriage.
"So, has anything changed?"
[ Zhongde ] asked [ Howling Pothos ].
"Not yet, perhaps it's too early?"
[ Howling Pothos ] offered his own guess.
"After all, it's only just gotten dark..."
[ Elderly and Children Fly First ] also agreed with this conjecture. He rummaged through something in the carriage while saying to the players around him:
"Take good care of your gear; things might get complicated after nightfall."
That made sense, and all the team members began their preparations.
They were quickly ready, but nothing had changed on the Blood Corpse's side.
Three dutiful captains were left to keep watch at the high point, while the free-spirited players began to build campfires on the other side of the slope, out of the sight of the Blood Corpse, and savor the unique creatures of the Wilderness of Chaos.
"Whoosh!"
[ Easily Soluble in Water ] With a single cut, a "segment" was severed from a creature that resembled a hybrid of an earthworm and a millipede, and finally, the still-wriggling "flesh" was lifted up with the sword.
He pulled a silver coin out of nowhere with his left hand, flicked it, and it made a crisp "clink" sound.
"A hundred yuan reward, who can have a bite?"
"Isn't that simple? You can eat whatever you want with your eyes closed, right?"
[ Read Without Replying ] smiled and extended his hand, already planning to earn this extra money.
I haven't finished speaking yet.
[ Easily Soluble in Water ] He handed over the insect meat, but his left hand, holding the silver coin, immediately tightened its grip:
"Let's showcase the full flavor and aroma, and then share our thoughts after we've finished eating."
The smile on his face froze. He said nothing more and didn't reach out. He Read Without Replying the message and Read Without Replying.
