Chapter 162 Deadly Tower

Although Petite Delicate wasn’t currently live broadcasting, she was still keeping an eye on the situation at the scene. She was holding a mineral vein in her hand and rubbing her hands excitedly as she prepared for her first weapon – refining experiment.

When she saw Zhang Wanshan shamelessly approaching the guild master with a smile on his face, she was so infuriated that she almost jumped up.

Even if someone tried to ride on the guild master’s popularity, it would never be his turn! Star Rebel was her guild master; Zhang Wanshan was nothing to her. Both of them were bloggers in the same live broadcast community. She knew what kind of jerk he was!

He claimed to be teaching mages how to escape, but in reality, he was engaged in the shady business of defrauding people for money and getting laid with girls. There were many female mage players, so this scoundrel had been exposed several times. If it weren’t for the powerful backing of his company, he would have been done a long time ago.

Han Xing nodded after hearing Zhang Wanshan’s words. “That’s right, we’re planning to take on this dungeon challenge. However, our guild is short-handed, so we plan to randomly recruit 100 teammates.”

The saying almost made Zhang Wanshan lose control of his expression. What did it mean that their guild was short-handed? Everyone knew the prominent status of the Mad Dragon Guild in the Second World. It was extremely popular, and countless people aspired to join them. Zhang Wanshan had initially thought that Star Rebel was an honest player, but he finally figured out that Star Rebel was also full of shit.

“Uh, then when are you gonna ready to start, Guild Master Star Rebel?”

Han Xing glanced at these broadcasters who were live-streaming his every move and said with a mocking laugh, “Now.”

North Star immediately began randomly inviting nearby players to join the team upon hearing his command. Many of the onlookers were already fans of Star Rebel, of course, but there were also quite a few haters.

They saw such a great opportunity and immediately applied to join the team. In just one minute, a team of 100 people was ready to set off.

“I hope that you guys can follow my commands during the fight.”

The words he spoke only mattered to the members of the Mad Dragon Guild. The other randomly invited players were all busy chatting, and some players even intentionally sparked arguments, attempting to influence others within the Mad Dragon Guild. However, all of this was under the control of Han Xing, and then he turned to North Star and said, “You can start.”

North Star smiled and looked at the noisy crowd. “Fellas, quiet down for a moment, please. It’s about to start.”

However, these players simply ignored his words and continued to do as they pleased. All the players from the Mad Dragon Guild were prepared, and the moment they entered the Deadly Tower’s instance map at North Star, they immediately brandished their weapons and started blocking for defense.

In a heartbeat, Wind Flower Snow Moon wasted no time and fully charged her shield skill, activating a recovery skill for all players in the Mad Dragon Guild.

Those unprepared players were in trouble. Initially, they had merely intended to come along for the ride, causing a bit of chaos for Star Rebel while underestimating the players from the Mad Dragon Guild. Little did they know, they would end up being used as mere human shields and stepping stones.

Han Xing’s Lightning Steps were incredibly agile, but he didn’t know that a male player was hiding behind him, intending to follow him through the forest of flying knives. With a disdainful snort, hundreds of flying knives came toward him. Swiftly sidestepping, Han Xing evaded them, catching the player off guard. In an instant, Han Xing stomped on him, reducing him to a pile of minced flesh pierced by countless knives.

More agile casual players used skill to obstruct the trajectory of the flying knives, gaining a momentary respite. Unfortunately, what they didn’t anticipate was that the Mad Dragon Guild intended to exploit them as laborers, forcing them to exert all their efforts to block this forest of flying knives. Consequently, by the time they finally managed to pass the checkpoint, over 50 players had already been eliminated.

There were only 49 players left now, 19 of whom were casual players, and the remaining 30 players were from the Mad Dragon Guild. “Not a single one of them has been eliminated!” exclaimed one of the players in a fit of anger.

“You guys losing your f**cking mind? Using your teammates as shields?”

Upon hearing these words, Fourteen Continents let out a disdainful laugh. “You s**kers don’t understand your own purpose for joining the team today? Pretending to be the good guy here? If you are not gonna fight, then quit.”

The remaining dozen or so players were fuming with anger. They indeed had thoughts of causing trouble, but what the Mad Dragon Guild did was too outrageous. How could a guild bully ordinary players so shamelessly?

This guild, relying solely on its reputation, had started disregarding ordinary players. Therefore, these disgruntled players were preparing to retaliate, but the members of the Mad Dragon Guild paid no attention to them and swiftly moved on to the next level.

In this stage, even though everyone was mentally prepared, seeing the scenes on the map made even Han Xing’s scalp tingle slightly.

They stood atop an incredibly tall mountain of rocks, with a distance of thirty to forty meters separating them from the opposite side. It was simply impossible to cross such a great distance directly, not to mention the various venomous snakes lurking below. As far as the eye could see, these snakes had spread across every corner. Trying to descend would likely result in being torn to pieces by these snakes in an instant.

“Qiaoqiao, try to give it a shot and see if taking the route in the air is feasible?”

North Star spoke softly, “Turban Qiaoqiao isn’t the only elven character player, but her attack power is the highest. Even if we encounter any danger along the way, she will be able to counter it promptly.”

Turban Qiaoqiao nodded her head, revealing her wings. She slowly flew in the air. In just a few steps, the entire sky was filled with deafening sounds of flying.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Colorful grenades instantly appeared and covered the entire sky.

“Qiaoqiao, retreat! quickly!” North Star’s expression changed drastically. He did not expect the sky to be filled with so many traps.

Those players who were merely spectators had already looked down upon the Mad Dragon Guild’s style. Now, witnessing their misfortune, each of them felt an immense excitement in their hearts, even hoping for those grenades to explode even more fiercely, wiping out Turban Qiaoqiao from the game directly.

Unfortunately, these grenades were extremely fast, though the Celestial Worthy Of Mechanical was even faster.

“Get out of my way!”

He shouted and stood in front of them, “Engage full-body attack trajectory, and activate all-around defense mode. Feel the true power of explosive missiles!”

He had various sizes of projectiles all over his body, totaling in the thousands. In no time, he aimed his cannon at the grenades that nearly going to hit Turban Qiaoqiao. Finally, providing cover for Turban Qiaoqiao’s retreat, Wind Flower Snow Moon quickly activated a defensive shield, preventing any players from the Mad Dragon Guild present from being injured by the shrapnel of the grenades.

After Turban Qiaoqiao returned, her HP was reduced by half at the moment. “Guild Leader, we can’t go through the sky.”

She calmly reported the situation. “I’ve already calculated it. These grenades were coming from all directions, so it was difficult to fly over. The grenades were really dense, and there was no way to get through.”

When the players heard this, they immediately became excited and started mocking her.

“We all thought she was very powerful; that’s all it is.”

“Weren’t you quite good at acting? Why aren’t you pretending now?”

“Hey, we won’t be going up there this time.. Folks, be careful! We can’t let the Star Rebel get away with this!”
