CHAPTER 50: CHAPTER 47: FIRST BLOOD

"What are you all standing there stupidly for?"

"They’re just two extreme quasi-apprentices who used martial arts! Everyone, attack!"

"Take these people down, and there will be generous rewards afterwards!"

Lante looked at the frightened members of the White Feather Gang and roared.

In that instant, the members of the White Feather Gang realized that it wasn’t that Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei were terrifying, but rather that they used stealth and martial arts to subdue the leader Lante and captain Mighty.

"Kill them!"

"Even two extreme quasi-apprentices dare to fight against the White Feather Gang, it’s simply courting death!"

"Archers, take down that guy and woman in the distance. Don’t let them escape!"

The three White Feather Gang captains who came to their senses quickly took out their composite long spears, twisted and turned them into nearly three meters long alloy spears, and launched an attack on Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei immediately.

Although the three captains didn’t know martial arts, with their basic apprentice strength of over 300 kilograms, they could easily suppress Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei who didn’t use martial arts.

As Lante’s roar echoed throughout the base, the patrolling White Feather Gang members immediately gathered at the base entrance, eager to earn credit.

In the gang, it’s very difficult for ordinary members to rise, typically only achievable in two ways.

The first is to complete the tasks assigned by the gang and accumulate enough strength to advance.

The second is to kill enemies and accumulate enough contribution to rise from an ordinary member to a captain.

Now, since only Lin Qi dared to raid the White Feather Gang’s territory, it was definitely a golden opportunity to earn credit.

"It’s over." Luo Qi saw over a dozen White Feather Gang members wearing armor rushing up, along with archers aiming from not too far away, and shouted to Lin Qi, "You run! I’ll figure out how to hold them off!"

In Luo Qi’s eyes, Lin Qi had come to make a fake deal with the White Feather Gang to rescue her. As an extreme quasi-apprentice, she would never let someone like Lin Qi, who wasn’t even a quasi-apprentice, take the lead.

However, just when Luo Qi was about to pull Lin Qi onto the vehicle to block the White Feather Gang members, she suddenly found that she couldn’t move Lin Qi.

"Lin Zi! You?"

Before Luo Qi could snap out of her surprise, she saw Lin Qi calmly raise his other hand.

"Move! Take them down!"

Seeing the approaching White Feather Gang members, Lin Qi swung the hand he had raised forcefully.

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

Suddenly, four silver-white rays emerged from behind Lin Qi, precisely hitting the unprotected necks of the White Feather Gang members, and four of them fell dead instantly.

As the four died, simultaneously, more than twenty figures burst out from the distant withered woods, each faster than the last, with several reaching apprentice level speed.

This scene shocked the members of the White Feather Gang. They never expected Lin Qi and the others to be premeditated, not just three people coming over.

"Not good! Enemy attack! There’s an enemy attack!"

"Quick! Notify nearby people! There’s a gang coming to attack the plantation base!"

"Damn! No signal! The signal is jammed!"

In the dark, being able to kill four armored people with a round of arrows, along with a charge of over twenty people, left no other possibility but that another gang was here to attack the plantation base.

"Who are you people?"

"Daring to attack our White Feather Gang base, do you want a life-and-death struggle with us?"

Lante, who was joining the siege, caught a glimpse of the players running from afar, his expression extremely serious and surprised, and he couldn’t help but shout furiously.

Although it wasn’t very clear in the dark, the first ten people clearly reached apprentice level in speed, exceeding 12 meters per second.

This meant that the opposing gang had sent ten apprentice-level experts, twice as many as the apprentices at their base. Coupled with the two monstrous women before them, such a terrifying force was enough to wipe out a small gang.

Yet, in Lante’s memory, he had never offended such a force.

The gang’s members were extremely conspicuous, each wearing a deep gray long-sleeved T-shirt. Especially as they got closer, the gang’s members each holding a shovel was such an unmistakable symbol that he could never forget it.

As for saying that this gang was here to rescue Luo Qi, even a ghost wouldn’t believe it. In Chasing Light City, anyone under the protection of a gang would have a gang imprint. Moving against someone with a gang imprint would mean declaring war against that gang.

And Luo Qi had no gang imprint on her, she was just an ordinary employee of Cangjing Weapon Shop.

"This boss is so talkative." Luo Wushang looked at Lante, who was fighting while asking questions, and couldn’t help but be speechless, "The game developers really need to adjust the boss’s AI. We’re already attacking, and he’s still asking if we’re going for a life-and-death struggle. Is there any point?"

"Endure it for now; it’s necessary for the plot." Zhang Qingwei, constantly entangled with two White Feather Gang captains, whispered a reminder, "Everyone else is rushing over; we need to speed up too. We can’t let someone else take the first blood of this boss."

"Alright, the first blood of this boss definitely has extra rewards; we can’t let others have it." Luo Wushang dodged a sweeping strike from Lante’s long spear, agreeing, and launched another Point Star move.

"You’re seeking death!"

The words from Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei made Lante both angry and shocked. He fiercely smashed down the long spear in his hand, directly blasting back Luo Wushang’s Point Star. He retreated two steps, then with the spear held horizontally, his muscles swelled up, intending to use a killer move to take one down first.

Although Lante didn’t understand why these lunatics were so strong nowadays, using martial arts as if they were free, one after another.

But being treated as a boss and daring to target his first blood?

Then he would let them know that his first blood wasn’t so easy to take!

"This BOSS is getting anxious, seems like it’s about to enter the second stage!" Luo Wushang, who had been blasted back, did an aerial flip and landed precisely, eyes filled with excitement, "Come on! Let me see how your second stage is!"

"Damn! You’re a psycho!" Lante looked at Luo Wushang, who showed no fear and seemed eager to try, feeling stifled from the fight.

The use of martial arts takes a heavy toll on the body, typically risking your life; it’s either you die, or I live.

The current psycho seemed completely ignorant of what death was, which made Lante hesitate on whether he should risk it with martial arts.

Betting your life against a psycho, no matter how you look at it, it’s a loss.

"This BOSS is taking too long to start the second stage." Zhang Qingwei glanced anxiously at Lante, "Everybody else will rush over, is he planning to gather everyone around and have them all fight for the first blood?"

"Damn! Just go to hell first!"

Lante glared furiously at Zhang Qingwei in the fray. He absolutely couldn’t tolerate her and, with a leap, struck down at Zhang Qingwei with his long spear.

Apprentice Level Martial Arts Mountain Breaker!

This spear technique can increase strength and speed by more than 50%; a single strike is over 600 kilograms of force, enough to threaten an Advanced Apprentice.

"Is this BOSS’s second stage a hate transfer?"

"Now that’s something."

Luo Wushang looked seriously at Lante striking Zhang Qingwei.

Facing two captains from the White Feather Gang, Zhang Qingwei barely had time to dodge, so she was compelled to swing her arrow and meet it with an Overlapping Waves Saber technique.

Bam!

Zhang Qingwei was sent flying over ten meters away, her arm holding the Black Steel Arrow twisted and broken. She looked much more battered and was incapable of fighting other captains now.

Just as Lante was about to show a smug expression, he saw Zhang Qingwei, whose arm was broken, surprisingly showing joy.

"Wushang, this BOSS is not bad, it can break my arm in one move! Getting its first blood might drop something good!" Zhang Qingwei excitedly reminded Luo Wushang.

"This BOSS is indeed good; after the second stage starts, both strength and speed have increased significantly, but the backlash of this move doesn’t seem small either. I feel like its aura is weaker now; it probably can’t be used many more times." Luo Wushang nodded, eyes filled with excitement as she aimed a Point Star at Lante.

Zhang Qingwei also no longer cared for the other captains, gripping the Black Steel Arrow with her other hand, using the Leopard Shadow Step to charge towards Lante, once again deploying the Overlapping Waves Saber.

"Madmen! These two are just madmen!"

Lante watched the two rushing at him regardless of their lives; he could sense clearly that neither of them cared about living or dying, not even knowing what fear was.

All they thought about was his first blood!

At this moment, not only did Lante think the people wearing dark gray were insane, but also the members of the White Feather Gang fighting them thought this gang was full of lunatics.

For god’s sake!

Their crowd didn’t fight with normal weapons, charging forward with shovels. Some were even hit by several arrows, yet instead of feeling fear, they pulled out the arrows and showed a satisfied expression as if earning something.

Then they kept yelling, "Come shoot me, come shoot me," while charging.

This made the surrounding gray-clad gang members show envy, imitating them, leaving the White Feather Gang archers utterly perplexed.

They had seen people use others as shields, but not people standing out to be used as shields themselves, acting as if "if you don’t shoot me, you’ll be doomed."

This left the archers at a loss about who was shooting whom.

But the most ruthless ones were those arrow-shooting gray-clad people. Once they ran out of arrows, they would unhesitatingly pull out arrows from their companions and shoot back without even blinking. As cruel and ruthless as this.

With Fang Zhen and others shooting, players continuously reduced the White Feather Gang’s numbers, causing their initial fierce members to quickly fall apart.

"Great!"

"The first blood of this BOSS is mine!"

Having reached in front of Lante, One Leaf Floating Cloud spun in mid-air with a long spear, filled with excitement as he used the Spiral Demon Spear Kill on Lante.

Lante had just resisted an assault from Luo Wushang and Zhang Qingwei, his Qi and Blood very unstable, yet he instinctively felt the danger from One Leaf’s move, leaping again to use Mountain Breaker.

Bam!

With just one encounter, the long spear in Lante’s hand was deflected, followed immediately by a silver alloy long spear piercing through Lante’s neck, his entire head flying off.

The scene before Lante’s death showed One Leaf Floating Cloud who had used the Spiral Demon Spear Kill, already missing an arm, blood spurting all over, clearly not long to live.

Yet, for some reason, the about-to-die One Leaf’s face was bursting with joy, constantly cheering.

First Blood!

I got his First Blood!

"Damn!"

Lante cursed internally, never understanding until his death when he had provoked such a terrifying gang, where not a single person in the whole gang was normal.
