Muscular Rabbits Legion: “No one can escape from the novice village!”
Chapter 559 - 549: Players See Hope

Chapter 559: Chapter 549: Players See Hope

As three system notification sounds rang out, the players were stunned.

Then a realization flashed through their minds, "Ninety-nine percent of the buildings have been destroyed... We haven’t passed through to another place, all the other houses were demolished by those bastards!"

"Not demolished, destroyed! The kind where not even a single brick is left!"

"This is outrageous! There’s a limit to how far one should go when killing, they could have won but they left us the grand hall... This is such an insult!" someone cursed loudly.

At that moment, smart players like Power, General Yu, and Yinianjian turned deathly pale.

They thought of an even more terrifying possibility.

Power muttered, "Leaving the morning court hall was to let us win so that we would continue to stay in West Kunlun! Otherwise, if the morning court hall had been destroyed, and we failed to defend the city, the system would have sent us back to the Cangshan Mountain World."

General Yu added, "Leaving the Resurrection Point was to let us revive safely... They’re not trying to insult us!"

Yinianjian said, "They want to insult us continuously and gradually!"

Everyone’s faces turned ashen instantaneously, filled with anger, but even more with powerless sorrow.

...

To confirm their suspicions, General Yu and Power sent people out to scout, and sure enough, the huge pit was exactly the size of the Cangshan Mountain Imperial City.

The more they observed, the more horrified and terror-stricken they became.

"Such a smooth big pit, it’s clearly blasted out with one move. To create a thousand-mile big pit with a single move, what kind of power is that? Too terrifying," Yinianjian murmured.

Power said, "What’s more terrifying is that while launching such a horrifying attack, he could still ensure that the Resurrection Point and the morning court hall remained completely undamaged... That guy’s control over power is nothing short of terrifying."

General Yu said, "It is absolutely not the doing of those chickens, could there be an even more terrifying BOSS that has taken action?"

Power said, "No matter what it was that struck, in any case, things have become difficult for us from now on..."

Everyone fell silent.

The cold wind blew over. Looking at the towering Kunlun Mountain with heights and widths that seemed endless, then at the vast grasslands on the other side, for the first time, they felt fear, not awe, of the grandeur.

This immense world, contained far too many unknowns and terrors.

At that moment, all their pride and excitement were extinguished, leaving only a bone-chilling coldness...

Half a day later, golden light descended again, and Li Hongyi and the others were resurrected.

Li Hongyi was the first to resurrect and the first to open her eyes.

When she saw the scene before her, she too was shocked.

However, she was more composed than Power and General Yu, and she quickly came back to her senses.

She didn’t look back but immediately saw General Yu and Power among others sitting in the pit.

At this moment, General Yu and Power had lost their usual sharpness and their ambition to vie for supremacy. The only thing they had was anxiety about how to survive and the irritation of continuing their cultivation.

Upon seeing Li Hongyi’s resurrection, the two found her and, without waiting for Li Hongyi to ask, they told her what they had seen and guessed.

"Alas..." Li Hongyi sighed deeply. She clearly hadn’t realized until now how terrifying and abnormal this world was.

"You got one thing wrong, it wasn’t the chickens and the groundhogs that attacked us; they were not scattered groups of wild monsters but were unified under the command of a Little Rabbit. If I’m not mistaken, that rabbit should be similar to the final BOSS of Newbie Village. As for the chickens and such, they are all its minions," Li Hongyi corrected.

General Yu asked, "Your Majesty, how strong is that rabbit? Have you tested it?"

Li Hongyi replied with a wry smile, "I have tested it, but sadly, I didn’t see clearly how it made its move both times. In a blink of an eye, I was devoured."

"What?" General Yu and Power both exclaimed in surprise. They knew the strength of Li Hongyi, especially after her rebirth by fire, she could be said to be invincible. Yet, she was killed without even seeing how the enemy made its move.

How fearsome must the enemy be?

Li Hongyi said, "That Little Rabbit is far stronger than we imagined!"

Just then, a person approached and said, "Your Majesty, about that... you weren’t actually killed by the rabbit."

Upon these words, the few people present were stunned, and Li Hongyi frowned at the speaker, Liu Ye’er.

Behind her, Liu Yi was desperately pulling on Liu Ye’er. Liu Yi had always believed in less contact with people to avoid trouble, especially in the Imperial Palace where trouble was the most abundant, it was best to stay away, yet this girl still spoke up.

Li Hongyi asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Liu Ye’er replied, "It was a giant golden bird that suddenly appeared and swallowed you. Everyone saw it, really."

Li Hongyi turned to the others who had just resurrected; they had not yet had the chance to speak with Li Hongyi, upon hearing Liu Ye’er mention it, they nodded in agreement.

Yin Kui stepped forward to bow and said, "Your Majesty, she’s not wrong, it indeed was a giant golden bird that made its move. That bird could swallow a person in one gulp, its feathers shining with a faint golden light, extraordinarily formidable. I suspect that it is a roaming BOSS, a BOSS even more powerful than the rabbit!"

Li Hongyi said in a grave voice, "Besides me, who else did it kill?"

After a moment of silence, Yin Kui awkwardly answered, "Only... it only attacked Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Li Hongyi wanted to cry in her heart. So a huge BOSS didn’t kill anyone but specifically targeted her!

Li Hongyi keenly sensed that there was definitely something amiss. She suspected that the golden bird was related to the Little Rabbit.

Because both attacks happened when she made a move against the Little Rabbit.

"Is it a coincidence? Or is it protecting the Little Rabbit?" As Li Hongyi pondered, someone ran over from the distance.

"Your Majesty, you’ve been resurrected! Our home is gone!"

The newcomer was Tang Yong and his troops.

Li Hongyi asked, "How did you come from that direction?"

Tang Yong gave a wry smile and then recounted everything that had happened after they left the Imperial City.

As it turned out, his luck was better than Li Hongyi and the others. Due to the system’s incompleteness causing various errors, his group had to wait over five days to be resurrected, which allowed him to perfectly miss the second massacre.

However, by the time they emerged, the entire Imperial City had already been moved.

At the time, Tang Yong did not understand what had happened, so he led his men to investigate, and they had to travel quite a distance.

They saw rabbits from afar and were so scared that they hurriedly ran back, just in time to encounter Li Hongyi and others who had been resurrected.

Li Hongyi also shared their situation with Tang Yong. After listening, Tang Yong pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, this issue is quite peculiar. If that rabbit is very strong, it wouldn’t need the big bird’s protection... Since the big bird did intervene, there’s an eight or nine out of ten chance that the rabbit is no match for you.

It might even be killed by you in one hit, so the bird only steps in when it’s in danger."

Li Hongyi had also considered this and nodded, "I think so too."

Yin Kui said, "The problem is, that’s a BOSS! The minions are already so strong, would it be weak?"

Tang Yong shook his head, "Have you forgotten the Ghost-Faced Fox Lord?"

Yin Kui was taken aback, General Yu suddenly looked up and said, "I remember now, the Ghost-Faced Fox Lord had a bunch of foxes, and each one’s strength was comparable to a Little Boss, adept in tricks and formations. They truly gave us a hard time.

The Ghost-Faced Fox Lord’s attitude and aura back then were quite frightening.

We were stuck and unable to level up because of him.

It wasn’t until a group appeared that, through some method unknown to us, managed to kill the Ghost-Faced Fox Lord...

It’s said that unlike other BOSSes, the Ghost-Faced Fox Lord was not only not strong but somewhat weak, which is why that team could successfully kill him.

However, this is just hearsay, and no one knows more details except for that team.

They seemed to not boast about the matter and disappeared from then on.

After the Ghost-Faced Fox Lord died once, it never respawned again; only some fox kings, regular BOSSes, appeared...

So, it remains a mystery to this day."

"Brother, they’re talking about us," Liu Ye’er’s eyes shone brightly as she nudged Liu Yi with her elbow a couple of times.

Liu Yi glanced at her sharply and hurriedly took her away from these people of endless troubles.

However, Liu Ye’er’s words caught the attention of Li Hongyi and the others.

They hadn’t expected that the very subjects of their casual conversation were right beside them!

Li Hongyi looked at Liu Yi and the others in surprise, "Did you kill the Ghost-Faced Fox Lord?"

Liu Ye’er lifted her head to say something, but Liu Yi pulled her behind him and said with a fist clasped, "It was a stroke of luck."

Li Hongyi laughed, "Luck? That’s something I never believe in!

Everybody has luck, but not everybody can seize it.

Only those with the strength can grasp luck; those without strength can’t hold onto it even if they encounter it—it’s as though they have no luck at all.

We are a troublesome lot, but I assure you, we won’t cause you any trouble.

I just want to know what exactly happened."

Liu Yi’s heart trembled. He hadn’t expected Li Hongyi to see through his thoughts with just a glance—no wonder this woman managed to reach her current position.

General Yu said, "We only know roughly what happened and not the details. Brother, what should we call you?"

Liu Yi gave a respectful bow and said, "Liu Yi. My younger sister, Liu Ye’er, and my brothers San Shan and Five Mountains."

General Yu looked at Five Mountains in surprise, "Are you the one ranked first on the Defense Leaderboard, Five Mountains?"

The others were also astounded, and then Tang Yong exclaimed, "Liu Yi? Sword God Liu Yi?"

The group hadn’t expected a small team of four to include two of the top powerhouses on the continent.

At that moment, their gazes towards them held a touch more respect.

It was then that Zun Shen laughed, "Big Uncle, I didn’t expose your identities, you did so yourselves. Now that you’ve revealed yourselves, let’s hear it... I’m also quite curious, how exactly did you guys defeat the Ghost-Faced Fox Lord?"

Liu Yi gave him a look, never having been fond of Zun Shen.

The fearless Zun Shen, who was afraid of no one but his big uncle, immediately closed his mouth.

Tang Yong said, "Brother Liu, please tell us in detail.

You’ve seen our situation; if we don’t break the game, we’ll all be trapped here to die.

The Ghost-Faced Fox Lord might have something in common with this rabbit, and we could use that knowledge to find a solution."

Not wanting to get too close to these people and keen on getting away as soon as possible, but also acknowledging the troublesome situation at hand, Liu Yi cooperated without idle talk and narrated the whole story from beginning to end.
