Chapter 641 The News Spreads
"Four." Ash chuckled. "Ten people, fought for so long, and only four beginners."
He casually tossed four Mist Spirits to a mage behind him.
"Keep it."
The mage caught the ball of light and quickly stuffed it into his backpack: "Captain, these four only add up to 40 points. We came all this way, and this is it?"
"What's the rush?" Ash clapped his hands. "This is just the beginning."
Then he walked to Afei's body—the body hadn't completely disappeared yet.
"Is this all you 9527 people are capable of?" Ash crouched down, looking at Afei's fading face. "An average level 36? How did you guys even make it to the third round? Is the system malfunctioning?"
Afei's lips moved, but the teleportation had already begun, and he couldn't hear what Ash was saying.
Ash stood up and patted the ash off his knees.
"Rubbish."
He turned around and waved to the three-eyed players behind him.
"Let's go find the next one. Don't waste time on these useless people."
More than twenty three-eyed players turned and left, their footsteps fading into the distance.
"They're so incompetent. More than twenty of us got right up to them, and none of them even noticed."
"That's why he's considered useless."
Ash did not participate in the discussion, but simply quickened his pace.
But in the last second before Ah Fei's vision turned white, he did something with all his might.
He typed a message on the world channel.
"People are coming from the north, from the 8125 continent, about twenty of them, with an average level of 45 or higher. All ten of us are dead. They went southeast. We had four low-level Mist Spirits on us, and they all dropped."
The moment the message was sent, Afei's vision turned completely white, and his body transformed into a beam of white light, disappearing from the Misty Continent.
His teammates also sent similar messages at the same time, from different locations.
"People from mainland China have crossed the mountain on August 8125th! Be careful! They are killing people and stealing spirits!"
"Near coordinates (317, 584), there were more than twenty three-eyed tribesmen. The leader was a warrior with an axe. He was very ruthless. All ten of us were wiped out."
"Don't act alone! Don't be unprepared when fighting monsters! The enemy is coming too fast!"
Many messages appeared on the world channel.
The world channel was silent for a moment.
Then, it exploded.
"Holy crap! They've already attacked?"
"More than twenty people killed ten of us? Average level 45?"
"Didn't I say the average score on the other side is 45? That's normal."
"It's not a question of whether it's normal or not, it's that they crossed the mountain so quickly and have already started killing people."
"Attention, fellow casual players! Run if you see any three-eyed creatures! Don't fight them!"
"But what about the Mist Spirit if we run away?"
"Life is more important! If you die, you're eliminated! And if you're eliminated, you won't even have a chance to run!"
"Yes, as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn."
"That's true, but we can't keep running like this forever, can we? For seven days straight?"
"We don't need to travel for 7 days. Once the big guilds organize themselves, we'll go and fight back."
"Fight back? They're level 45, we're level 36, how are we supposed to fight them?"
"We'll outnumber them! They have twenty-odd men, we have a hundred, we'll overwhelm them with sheer numbers."
"So what if there's only one? One is worth five!"
"Stop arguing. The most important thing now is to spread the word and let everyone know that the other side has arrived."
"The news has spread. Solo players, team up! Don't go solo. Going solo is suicide."
"Teaming up doesn't work either, the enemy's level is high, one small team can wipe out our small team."
"Then let's form a large group. If everyone from the same guild is together, they won't dare to make a move easily."
A solo player shouted in the world chat: "Anyone want to team up? I'm a mage, level 38, decent DPS, looking for a team to join."
Someone immediately replied, "Stop shouting, there's no time to form a team now. Head towards the high ground to the east."
Someone else asked, "What about the Mist Spirits we killed before? Do we have to hand them over?"
"Why should you hand over the points? If you hand them over now, and then get killed, you'll lose all your points. Keep them for now, and hand them over when it's safe."
"But it's more dangerous to keep it on your body; if you die, it's all gone."
"Then stop fighting monsters and focus on staying alive."
"Save your life, save your life. If you save your life, you won't get any points, and you'll still be eliminated in the end."
"Then go fight monsters. Don't cry if you get killed by the other side."
The channel was in complete chaos.
When Zhang Tianya saw the message, he was leading the War Alliance members to search eastward.
His face darkened.
"They made their move so quickly."
Li Weiwei's private message popped up.
"You saw it?"
"I saw it."
"They're probing. There are about twenty people, not a large force, but not small either. They probably sent a small team in first to scout and harass, while the main force is still waiting in the northern half of the region."
"What should we do then?"
"Don't panic. Let's gather the scattered units together first, so we don't give the enemy a chance to pick them off one by one. We still need to fight the Mist Spirit, but we can't fight it scattered like before."
Zhang Tianya nodded and turned to look at the members of the battle alliance behind him.
"Did you hear that?" He looked around. "They're coming. There are about twenty of them, averaging level 45. We have thirty-six of us, with a lower average level, but more people. We have a chance of winning if we meet them head-on, but a lot of people will die."
One soldier raised his hand: "Brother Tianya, shall we continue searching for monsters?"
"Search, but don't spread out," Zhang Tianya said. "Everyone, maintain formation, and narrow the reconnaissance range to 200 meters. If you spot the Spirit of the Mist, the whole team attacks together, and it's a quick and decisive battle. After you're done, move on immediately; don't stay in one place."
"What if you run into the person on the other side?"
"If we encounter them, we'll fight them," Zhang Tianya said. "We already know their location is in the southeast, so let's avoid that area and head northeast first."
Another member asked, "Aren't we going to support the southeast? There are still many independent people there."
"We can't provide support." Zhang Tianya shook his head. "If we go there now, they won't be there anymore. Besides, our mission is to fight the Mist Spirits and accumulate points, not to engage in guerrilla warfare with them. We'll fight them head-on once we have enough points."
Li Weiwei sent another private message: "Tianya, have you contacted Boss Lin Tian yet?"
"no."
......
Lin Tian also saw the message on the world channel.
The small team of more than twenty people was just the beginning.
There will be more people, bigger teams, and stronger opponents to come.
Lin Tian withdrew his gaze and continued walking in the direction where the fog was thicker.
He pulled up the map and glanced at it.
The advance team on the other side has already entered, and the main force will be here soon.
At that time, the entire southern half of the region will become a battlefield.
