Chapter 682: Chapter 652: An Accidental Success Boosts Human Confidence

The Groundhog King said, "Boss, remember how people always used to come into the village through here when we fought? I figured, since carrots don’t cost anything, why not bury a few layers of carrots underground here? If anyone comes, wouldn’t we be sending them straight to the Western Heaven?"

Upon hearing this, Yi Zheng was momentarily stunned, then cracked a smile, "What have you been eating lately? You’ve actually gotten smarter? You’re even planning ahead now?"

The Groundhog King actually pondered quite seriously for a moment before responding, "Ate carrots."

Yi Zheng thought to himself that carrots didn’t have any brain-boosting attributes...

But Yi Zheng couldn’t be bothered to think about it any longer, after all, even the stupidest guy can have a moment of inspiration.

Yi Zheng was very much in favor of the Groundhog King’s idea.

He wasn’t sure who all the people trapped in Newbie Village were, but he did see the Four Heavenly Kings and Zhu Ganglie.

These people originally had many friends. With them trapped, it was inevitable they would call for help.

Although he didn’t know how they would send the message out, but what if they could?

So, it’s always good to be prepared for the worst.

Zi Xing, however, disagreed, "Would they really come so soon? Besides, they’re blocked here and can’t log out. How would they send their message out? Through their dying screams?

Groundhog, I think you’re just making a fuss over nothing."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of shouts could be faintly heard from across the canyon: "Hurry up, don’t let them beat us there!

Rabbit is ours!"

"Charge!"

"Move it, Old Third, you’re the fastest. What are you waiting for? Run!"

"Damn it, flying is banned in Newbie Village, what a crappy setting!"

"Can’t even fly over the mountain, have to go through this crappy canyon, does the system have a brain problem?"

...

Listening to the chaotic shouts, Yi Zheng and the Groundhog King both turned to look at Zi Xing, whose face was flushed with embarrassment.

Clearing his throat, Zi Xing said, "Uh... actually, that’s... um, Boss, you’re brilliant!"

Yi Zheng couldn’t be bothered to address him, giving the Groundhog King a big thumbs-up instead, "Your moment of glory has come, Groundhog King, do them in!"

"Yes!"

The Groundhog King nodded happily, then turned around and yelled, "Detonate!"

Yi Zheng, who was full of admiration just a moment ago, instantly turned black with rage. He knew he shouldn’t have expected too much of this guy’s intelligence, "Idiot, why don’t you wait until they’ve all come in before you detonate it? What’s the use of detonating it ahead of time?"

But it was too late. A series of loud explosions rang out, and clouds of carrot shrapnel shot into the sky.

At the same time, Yi Zheng’s ears were filled with a barrage of system notification tones: "Ding! Congratulations on killing a player..."

"Ding! Congratulations on killing a player..."

"Ding! Congratulations on killing a player..."

...

Although there were many sounds, Yi Zheng took a closer look, and all those carrots had only killed a little over a hundred players— his face grew even darker.

Just when Yi Zheng was about to castigate further, he heard a wailing from inside the canyon: "Boss!"

"Gang Leader!"

"Big Brother!"

"Eldest Sister!"

"Sect Master!"

"They killed my Big Brother!"

...

Yi Zheng was taken aback, then laughed, "Hey, looks like we got a bunch of the big ones first!"

Then voices were heard yelling from the other side, "He’s not dead, big brother isn’t dead!"

"The Sect Master has held on!"

"Big Sister, you’re alright!"

...

Yi Zheng frowned, "He’s not dead."

...

In the valley, a group of players covered in dust and ash climbed out of the ruins, coughing up mouthfuls of gray.

"Ptooey! What the hell is this stuff!" A man wiped his mouth and couldn’t help cursing, "Pretty powerful though."

"This Newbie Village has something to it, but not much," said a Bald Monk, dusting off his kasaya.

A woman clad in a cyan robe with a white crane pattern spoke coldly, "Is this all they’ve got? Then they’re as good as dead!"

The few dozen survivors looked at each other and saw the flames of anger burning in each other’s eyes.

"These damned rabbits, these damned Newbie Village wild monsters, they don’t have the decency to kill themselves in apology and they dare to resist?"

"After this blast, they’re done for! I’m going to massacre Newbie Village!"

"I thought there was something impressive about this place when Yamamoto Gojyuju called everyone together for a raid. But now, it’s just so-so!"

"Dare to resist, they all deserve death!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

As the wrath of the big shots was ignited, their killing intent surged, and the underlings they brought along started roaring with rage. Their initial assault had been hesitant, somewhat fearful. But now, everyone let loose, sprinting full speed towards the village!

Yi Zheng heard the thunderous war cries and he let out a sigh of relief, "Oh? That didn’t scare them but actually got them more excited... There’s such good fortune?"

Overjoyed, Yi Zheng waved his hand, "Brothers, retreat!"

The Groundhog King, though unsure why Yi Zheng called for a retreat, figured that if Yi Zheng said so, then it was time to go!

So the groundhogs started scattering in all directions...

Seeing this, Yi Zheng was momentarily speechless and quickly used his Summoning Technique to gather all the groundhogs around him, then had the Wild Boar King, Tiger King, Skeleton King, Zombie King, and others herd the groundhogs toward the village, like herding ducks.

Almost at the same time, a group of players burst out of the Grand Canyon and immediately spotted the frantically fleeing groundhogs and a plump rabbit’s silhouette in the forest ahead.

Looking at the rabbit’s silhouette, everyone was momentarily stunned, followed by ecstasy!

"It’s that rabbit with the highest bounty!" The crowd nearly shouted in unison, and then, as if injected with adrenaline, they shrieked and soared into the sky!

It was then everyone realized, they could actually fly!

Flying was prohibited only in the canyon; outside, it was allowed.

In an instant, numerous figures shot up into the sky but, to their frustration, the rabbit on the ground was too fast to catch, even while they were flying.

Everyone became anxious and started to accelerate.

The underlings also emerged from the canyon and flew up into the sky.

For a while, the sky was filled with flying swords, auspicious clouds, demon clouds, and various flying mounts, forming a large fleet as majestic as Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals descending to subdue demons.

Just as Yi Zheng was running, he suddenly received a message from the Groundhog King, "Boss, there don’t seem to be too many of them, are they underestimating us?"

Yi Zheng was taken aback, "Where... where are you?"

The Groundhog King replied, "I just tunneled here, and when I came out, you all were gone."

Yi Zheng was speechless; he had been urgently calling for a retreat but had still left one behind.

The most infuriating part was the Groundhog King – he ran off and lost his wife!

But no matter, since no one had noticed her, he told her to hide, to keep him posted on the situation in the canyon, and began to slow down.

If everyone was in, the game could begin!
