Chapter 604: Power of Puppet
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
While Wang Yu was fighting the BOSS in the hidden scene, all the other Dead Spirit City’s players were extremely confused.
The space in the Dead Spirit Swamp in which players can move around was limited. With over ten thousand players searching the place over and over again, the Quan Zhen Sect’s players seemed to have evaporated from this earth.
With less than 10 minutes left on the clock, the Dead Spirit City’s players started panicking when they saw the number of non-Dark Faction players displayed on the screen: 11.
“Boss, are they not in Dead Spirit City?” An anxious Light and Arrows asked Vagrant Horse.
Out of the 11 players left, it wasn’t possible that every player could hide or run extremely well. With such a large number of manpower, they should have been able to find at least one, right? It was simply too strange that they couldn’t find a single person even after twenty minutes.
“Impossible! The quest is monitored by the system so if they really did leave Dead Spirit City, it will be equivalent to giving up on the quest. Therefore, they must be hiding at places we never thought of.” Vagrant Horse sighed as he replied, “There must be a place where we haven’t search right?”
“That’s not possible too. We’ve already searched through this place over and over again. If we continue searching, we might even have to go beneath the swamp.” Light and Arrows looked helpless as he answered.
“Beneath the swamp?” This was a casual remark from Light and Arrows, but Vagrant Horse’s eyes lit up when he heard that. Everything suddenly became clear in his heart.
“Yes, the swamp! They must be hiding there!” Vagrant Horse replied.
Light and Arrows was stupefied, “Boss, don’t be foolish. It is not like we haven’t been to the Dead Spirit Swamp. That swamp is not meant for players to visit, let alone go beneath it. How are we supposed to enter?”
“No! I think I know of a place where we can enter!” Vagrant Horse responded.
“Where?”
“The place where the Neutral Faction player killed himself.” Vagrant Horse replied with pride.
Light and Arrows scratched his head, “Are you implying that we should kill ourselves there too?”
“We don’t need to kill ourselves, but I believe that should be the entrance to enter the swamp!” Vagrant Horse replied.
If jumping into the swamp meant suicide, Wang Yu would have been dead by now. However, Wang Yu was still living like a lively dragon and animated tiger.
One more point to note was that a transfer scroll would usually emit white light. However, Vagrant Horse was at the scene when Wang Yu jumped into the swamp. He personally witnessed how Wang Yu dived into the swamp without any white light. Therefore, he was certain that Wang Yu didn’t use the transfer scroll. Initially, Vagrant Horse was a little suspicious but when Light and Arrows mentioned the swamp, he immediately understood.
“Go, let’s go to the pier!” At the thought of that, Vagrant Horse hurriedly ordered his men in the guild chat.
Very soon, 500 Golden Axe Metal Horse players arrived at the pier where Wang Yu jumped.
Looking at the dangerous swamp in front of them, everyone was rooted to their spot. No one dared to take an additional step.
“Light and Arrows, jump in to take a look,” a player urged Light and Arrows on.
“F*ck! Why don’t you jump in?” Light and Arrows took a step back immediately. What a joke! This is the Dead Spirit Swamp for a reason. People die here every day.
Just when everyone was still pushing responsibility, Vagrant Horse jumped in without saying anything else. Following that, Vagrant Horse sent a message to the guild chat.
“You can really hide someone here. All those with more than 2500HP, jump in!”
An Archer would only have about 3000HP so one jump into the swamp would take away the majority of their health. Evidently, this scene was prepared for high-level experts.
After receiving Vagrant Horse’s message, the players from Golden Axe Metal Horse jumped in without wasting any time feeling shocked.
Looking at the hidden scene beneath the swamp, the players who jumped in were truly astonished. They were most shocked when they saw the players from the Quan Zhen Sect playing mahjong. This was when the Golden Axe Metal Horse’s players almost exploded in anger.
The Golden Axe Metal Horse’s players were running around, going crazy looking for the few of them and yet, they were actually hiding under the water playing their own games.
“F*ck! They caught up with us!” Looking at players from Golden Axe Metal Horse, Vainglory cried out.
“What’s the rush? They can’t even come in… Spring Dog, peek at my tiles again and I will strike you with my lightning.” Ming Du spoke casually.
Fearless stood up and said with a serious face, “That’s not entirely true. Let’s just disperse for now.”
“Fearless, you are truly the most shameless person ever. Trying to run after winning my money? Sit down because I am going to win this hand.” Spring Halo, seated at the side, pulled onto Fearless’ shirt. Under the attentive gaze of Ming Du and Vainglory, Fearless sat down helplessly.
Moments later, Vagrant Horse brought the players from Golden Axe Metal Horse to the periphery of the Atlanta’s Ruins. All of a sudden, a powerful suction brought everyone in.
“F*ck! They really came in.” Facing the incoming enemies, Quan Zhen Sect’s players couldn’t help but feel shocked as they hurriedly stood up and retreated.
“Don’t panic, wait for me to win this round first…” Spring Halo was still unwilling to leave the table.
Ming Du took a sneak peek at Spring Halo’s tiles before using both hands to sweep in the tiles off the table into his bag.
Spring Halo shouted, “F*ck! My great tiles!”
“Great your head! Hurry up and disperse!” Boson and Crotch Lord helped Spring Halo up swiftly as they followed behind Fearless and co.
Spring Halo hurriedly threw out a few spells to block the incoming Golden Axe Metal Horse’s players. The Quan Zhen Sect’s players were definitely extremely experienced in escaping. With a blink of an eye, they managed to escape the vision of the Golden Axe Metal Horse’s players.
As Vagrant Horse led his men to the entrance of the Atlanta City, they were no longer able to see the Quan Zhen Sect.
“Eh? Where did those fellas go?”
There was nothing to shelter people from the periphery of Atlanta City. Therefore, one glance should be enough to look across the area. Moreover, there were no commotions with the guards at the entrance of the city. Due to this, Vagrant Horse was able to confirm that they did not enter the city. But how did they disappear just like that?
Just as Vagrant Horse was pondering about it, there was a sudden movement near the guards. It appeared as though a group of people was charging at the players from Golden Axe Metal Horse.
“Not good, there is an ambush!” The players from Golden Axe Metal Horse saw that commotion as they anxiously fired their attacks at the Atlanta City’s guards who had entered their range.
“Old Fish, Frost Blade, good job!”
At a place not too far away from the entrance, the Quan Zhen Sect’s members were hiding in the concealment array as they laughed at the Golden Axe Metal Horse who had already started the fights against the monsters.
“No sweat!” Frost Blade replied faintly.
Even though the four guards had astonishing attributes and were level 60 monsters, these fellas were still monsters without any intelligence. The players from Golden Axe Metal Horse were also not too bad themselves. With over hundreds of elite players working well together, they turned two of the guards into pieces within five minutes.
At the same time, Wang Yu, who was fighting the God of Puppets, suddenly received a system notification.
