Chapter 512: Chapter 80: Four Knights_2

Two people were intently observing when, unexpectedly, a voice came from behind.

"Quite the interest you two have."

Xiao Jie turned around and saw a Swordsman in white, silently standing behind them.

Handsome Brother? Damn, when did this guy show up?

Both were startled and simultaneously drew their swords.

But Handsome Brother was shocked by their reaction, "Don’t get worked up, I mean no harm, and it’s not just me here; look over there."

As Xiao Jie turned around, he saw on the distant road, Fatty Monk leading a group rushing over dashing and bold—about a dozen of them.

Xiao Jie was momentarily speechless; indeed, the moral decay of society, everyone said they wouldn’t dare to come, but here they had all run over. What happened to fearing death?

But then again, those who dare to farm monsters and level up in Ghost Mist Ridge, which were desperadoes. Now that celestial phenomena have happened, treasures might surface. They had already passed such great dangers; how could they not take a gamble? If there truly was a treasure, they’d strike it rich.

Among others, it was possible that this group was all Level 30, at least between Levels 27-28, skilled veterans who live by the adage ’fortune favors the bold’.

He glanced at Handsome Brother, saw that he appeared to be just there to watch, and said no more.

The three stood behind a tree, silently observing the situation.

On the clearing, the two groups had already faced off.

The leader of the first group attempted to reason, "Ha, it’s Master Shuo Bud, I thought as a noble individual like you, you’d understand the principle of ’first come, first served’, right?"

But Master Shuo Bud wasn’t buying it, "Nonsense principles. We have more people, higher levels, greater strength. That’s the only principle. Might I suggest you step aside? If there really is a treasure, once we get it, we’ll naturally share a bit with you."

The first group became agitated, "That’s not something you can just say. Are you planning to kill people?"

Master Shuo Bud sneered, "Of course not, I am a merciful monk. At most, I’ll just beat you to Near Death and leave you in a pile of monsters to be set free."

"Ha, what a joke, maybe if it were one or two you could do that, but we have so many people here, I don’t believe you can leave each one near death without killing, if you casually kill a few and get a red name, I’d like to see how you survive in Ghost Mist Ridge?"

Having a red name meant you couldn’t return to the city. In a low-risk map like Luoyang Plain, it would naturally be possible to hide somewhere, but Ghost Mist Ridge was a dangerous place, with constant hazards, not to mention the Yin Tide that occurred every few days.

Getting rid of a red name here would be tremendously risky.

Master Shuo Bud was ruthless, "I’m really not joking. I am a monk with a Talent called ’Mercy’. When fighting, I can force an enemy to be left with 1 drop of blood, so I can indeed beat all of you to Near Death."

Others were astounded.

Master Shuo Bud suddenly switched to a sinister tone, "Monks are compassionate, and I really don’t want to needlessly commit murder. So I advise you not to ruin your lives over some treasures. You should leave before it’s too late; otherwise, you might not be able to."

His tone was remarkably severe, clearly not just casually speaking.

Xiao Jie, however, was momentarily emotional, recognizing that you can know a person’s face but not their heart. Previously, seeing the Fatty Monk, he thought he was a good person, but he turned out to be ruthless.

At this moment, the atmosphere became tense.

Seven or eight people against a dozen, and the other side had a top expert, evidently a significant disadvantage.

The leader of the first group was decisive, "Fine, you’re ruthless. I always said monks are no pushovers. ’The green hills will not change; the green waters will continue to flow.’ Let’s go."

Those few, indeed not daring to risk their lives, left reluctantly.

Watching them leave, Master Shuo Bud suddenly sneered, "My friends, you’ve been watching this lively scene for so long, aren’t you satisfied yet? Since you’re here, why not show yourselves."

"Shh, he’s bluffing," Handsome Brother decisively whispered a reminder.

Xiao Jie and Ye Luo exchanged glances, indeed unmoving.

Master Shuo Bud called out twice more and said to the people beside him, "It seems there really is no one else—start digging."

Everyone switched to shovels, using their digging skills, began to dig frenzily everywhere.

The location where the Yin Energy vortex appeared was just an approximate area, covering a vast range of about 50 × 50 meters. The precise position could only be left to chance.

Watching these people digging chaotically, Xiao Jie felt quite conflicted. With so many on the other side, there was no chance of winning in a direct conflict. He was considering retreating but glanced at Ye Luo, who showed no intention of leaving, unsure what he was thinking.

Handsome Brother had also stayed in place. Was he planning to make a move and seize the treasure?

Was he that confident?

Although uneasy, Xiao Jie could only wait internally and see what unfolded.

However, he was already prepared; if things went south, he would immediately call Ye Luo to escape together.

"I’ve found it, I’ve found it!" a martial artist suddenly yelled excitedly.

After all, it was a game, so it couldn’t completely replicate real-life archaeological digging.

With one shovel, an entrance to an ancient tomb was directly uncovered.

"Damn, it’s not a treasure chest, it’s an ancient tomb!"

"Master, should we go down?"

"I think we should forget it. These kinds of maps in ancient tombs are too dangerous, most likely there’s a Boss inside."

"We’ve come this far, back out now? That would be such a waste."

"How about someone goes down to scout first?"

The group had clearly come together temporarily, belonging to several different gangs, and perhaps there were solo players too, leading to a lengthy indecision.

Ye Luo suddenly said, "A Boss is coming, let’s retreat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of approaching horse hooves could be heard.

A knight clad in heavy armor and riding a Netherworld warhorse slowly emerged from the darkness, wielding a soul-reaping greatsword.

"Ha ha ha ha! Indeed, wealth tempts the heart, you mortals have some skill, having found the tomb of my master."

Duan Zui (Netherworld Ghost General): Level 35 Boss-level Boss. Life Value 6550.

"You money-chasing bunch, what skill is there in that? You’re just flies chasing stench, coming for profit."

In the air, another phantom gradually appeared, holding a Nether Iron wolf-toothed spear.

Evil Shadow (Netherworld Ghost General): Level 34 Boss-level Boss. Life Value 6400.

Xiao Jie’s eyes tightened, damn, two Netherworld Ghost Generals!

"Since you’ve come, we might as well clean you up, to prevent any leaks that might alert the troops of the Longhua Empire."

A third phantom emerged from the darkness, wielding a Dark Blade bone-breaking axe.

Jue Gu (Netherworld Ghost General): Level 35 Boss-level Boss. Life Value 6600.

"Hehe, Jue Gu, you’ve been in the Netherworld so long, you probably don’t know the Longhua Empire has long since perished, now we can act without any hindrance, our grand plan can be achieved."

A fourth Ghost General appeared from the darkness, wearing a Ghost Mask, and holding a Soul Slaying Iron Halberd.

Spirit Extinguisher (Netherworld Ghost General): Level 33 Boss-level Boss. Life Value 6200.

Four Netherworld Ghost Generals stood side by side, just their presence and the aura they emitted sapped the morale of Master Shuo Bud’s group.

If one had appeared, they might have fought, perhaps even getting some Divine Equipment, but damn, four showing up at once, there’s no point in fighting.

"Run!" Master Shuo Bud suddenly shouted, and everyone turned to run, unfortunately, running right towards Xiao Jie.

"Run!" Xiao Jie also shouted without hesitation, and the three turned to flee.

Behind them, sounds of ghostly wails and cries for help followed.

Clearly, someone had been caught.

At this moment, Xiao Jie had completely abandoned any thoughts of treasure hunting and activated various speed skills, running frantically for his life.

Suddenly, a loud shout came from behind.

"Damn, brother, what a coincidence, we meet again."

It was Master Shuo Bud who, by using some skill, energetically caught up.

And there were a few others, good at Qinggong, he

"The few of you really played the role of Huang Que well."

"Too bad that Ghost General isn’t a mantis, he’s more like a hawk."

All that effort, and for nothing.

Master Shuo Bud gritted his teeth, "Damn it, bail, everyone just bail."

"Shall we bail too?"
