Chapter 567: Chapter 3 In Qiansong Town with Old Acquaintances

"Aim, ready, fire!"

Swish swish swish! Three feathered arrows simultaneously hit a mountain bandit who was wandering ahead; the bandit roared and charged towards three returning villagers nearby, only to meet a second volley.

Swish swish swish! Swish swish swish!

After three rounds of continuous firing, the bandit, riddled with arrows, heavily fell to the ground and lay silent.

The three people in the distance put away their bows and arrows, and the leader asked, "Whose turn is it this time?"

"It’s my turn." The speaker quickly rushed to the corpse and skillfully searched it.

"Damn, a loot drop—a bandit scimitar, 18 Attack points, cool!" Upon discovering the loot, the person searching the corpse immediately got excited.

The other two looked on with envy, "Awesome, even selling this to the shop would bring over 100 cents."

"Not bad, keep it up, let’s try to fill up the bag before it gets dark."

"Wang’s idea was great, all three of us are ranged attacks, taking down monsters one by one without the need for close combat, and we don’t even need to use blood bottles. It’s a sure profit."

"Haha, everyone executed it well."

The three laughed and discussed the earnings of the past few days; leveling efficiency might have been poor, but it was indeed safe and the returns were particularly stable. After accounting for leveling expenses, they could still make an average daily income of one to two thousand cents, which translates to twenty to thirty thousand yuan at today’s gold prices.

For those who were just gold farmers in the online game, making a bit of hard-earned money, this income was indeed a huge delight.

Just as the three prepared to continue their money-making mission, suddenly the ground started trembling, and even the snow on the ground began to shake.

"What’s happening?" one of them asked in surprise.

"Is it an earthquake?" another hesitated.

"Look over there!" Suddenly, another person shouted, looking at the distant horizon of the snowfield, where a massive wave of cavalry appeared, sweeping across the land towards them like a tidal wave.

"Damn, they are heading towards us, quick, quick, run up the hill!"

The three scrambled and rushed to a nearby small hill, fearful of being overtaken by the cavalry’s tide.

Though called a hill, it was merely a raised mound of earth. They climbed up in a panic, watching the approaching cavalry with terror.

"They are players!" someone suddenly exclaimed.

The others noticed it as well.

Indeed, as they got closer, the names above the cavalry’s heads became visible, all green names, indeed players.

The trio sighed in relief but exchanged anxious glances, each seeing the shock in others’ eyes—why were so many players suddenly appearing? Something big was happening.

At this moment, Xiao Jie was among this dark, tide-like army of cavalry.

This time, the Dragon Soaring Knights had really gone all in, assembling troops from six towns, all branches gathered here, plus the main force of more than fifty people, totaling over three hundred.

Adding to that, many generals in the Dragon Soaring Knights brought troops, accumulating over five hundred cavalry in total.

Xiao Jie had initially thought five hundred cavalry was no significant number until he saw it with his own eyes and was part of it, feeling the spectacle of the force, especially when five hundred cavalry charged together across the wilderness—the scene was truly astonishing.

Indeed, even the earth itself was trembling.

At this moment, he was just behind Long Xingtianxia, in the army’s second column.

"There are some leveling newbies up ahead, someone go ask for directions."

"Received—I’ll go!"

"I’ll go too!"

Immediately, several horses broke away from the main force, heading towards the small mound, and Xiao Jie followed.

The ten-plus cavalry quickly surrounded the mound where the three were.

Seeing this group of high-level players converge, the newbies were stunned and extremely nervous.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use said softly, "Gentlemen, we just want to ask for directions. Is Qiansong Town this way?"

"Yes... yes, big brother, yes, just... just to the northeast, about three or four miles... it’s... just ahead."

The respondent was stuttering, clearly very nervous.

Xiao Jie could understand their nervousness; the three newbies’ highest level was only Level 14, and the level difference between the two parties meant it would be as simple as crushing an ant to kill them.

Although the game had a red name penalty system, high-level players rarely killed low-level ones, but it’s hard to bear the feeling of having one’s life controlled by others.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use spoke gently, "There’s no need to be nervous, we just wanted to ask for directions, thanks, friend." Saying this, he threw one tael of silver their way.

With a slap of the reins, the ten-plus cavalry rejoined the main group.

The three newbies exchanged looks; no longer daring to continue leveling, they quickly found a safe map to log out.

Long Xingtianxia, however, didn’t care about the newbies. After confirming the directions were correct, the army accelerated again, and before long, a town appeared in the Forest Sea Snowfield.

Unlike the brick-and-stone walls typically found in Fengyin State, this town’s walls were built from giant logs, resembling a super-large fortress.

The town was quite large, but visibly lacked people.

As the Dragon Soaring Knights charged toward the town gates, players inside and outside the town were stunned.

Such a sight of a grand army bearing down was something they had never seen before.
