Chapter 12: Chaoge Guild

Just as the group of players was still in shock, Jiang Chen had already put away his bow and walked into the dense forest.

“Elemental Arrows really are flashy…”

To be honest, even Jiang Chen was a little surprised by how dazzling they were—like radiant white crystals. As expected of a divine class—every attack came with a built-in cosmetic effect.

Not only did it come with flair, it also had bonuses. Thirty points of attack wasn’t low at all.

However, not long after he entered Wild Dog Mountain, more uninvited guests appeared.

“Stop right there!”

Four people blocked his path.

Jiang Chen rubbed his forehead. Why did someone always show up to block his way no matter where he went…

But these people were clearly different from the big guys he’d met on Chicken Mountain. Their attitude was off from the start.

Each of them shook their heads mockingly and looked at Jiang Chen with disdain.

“Solo player, get lost. This area ahead is the training zone of our Chaoge Guild. Non-guild members are not allowed!”

They are claiming the area?

Chaoge Guild?

Only then did Jiang Chen notice the prefix [Chaoge] in all of their IDs.

‘Claiming areas’ for grinding was a guild ‘privilege’. With their large numbers and tight organization, average players had no power to challenge their dominance. Other guilds naturally staked claims elsewhere.

It was as if there were a silent agreement between them—none would go to war over territory.

And the ones who suffered most were, of course, the solo players.

This kind of behavior had not improved in the current era—on the contrary, it had gotten worse. The wealthy had recruited large groups of players to occupy grinding spots for themselves and their inner circles, ensuring they always stayed ahead of the average player.

A trace of hidden ruthlessness flickered in Jiang Chen’s eyes as he looked at these smug punks.

Around him, many solo players had also been blocked, but all of them could only suffer in silence and watch from the sidelines.

“Damn it all. Head east and it’s taken by Jiutian Galaxy Guild, go south and it’s Red Veil Guild, go west and it’s Celestial Vault Guild. Now even here is claimed by Chaoge Guild? They’re really trying to squeeze us solo players to death!”

“You’re telling me! I’ve been killing chickens for hours and haven’t even seen a single wild dog. Who knows when we’ll finish the village chief’s quest.”

“Try going around the Misty Forest, you might bypass their blockade.”

“Idiot. If you get lost in there, you might never make it back alive. I’d rather go back and kill chickens. At least I get some XP.”

The solo players murmured quietly among themselves.

At this point, most players were around Lv5, which meant there was a high demand for [Demonic Wild Dog Fangs].

So guilds occupying zones was completely expected. And it would go on for a long time, since each member needed 50 fangs to complete their quest.

“You lot better get the hell out of here! All that yapping is annoying as hell!”

“Any solo still within 100 meters in the next ten seconds, don’t blame me if I show no mercy!”

At that moment, a particularly brutish-looking Chaoge player stepped forward and barked fiercely.

Meanwhile, not far off, a relatively thin archer wandered over ‘foolishly’.

…

“That level 1 brat—beat it! One more step and I’ll gut you!”

The brutish Chaoge player shouted, brandishing his blade.

-341!

-347!

Before the words were even out of his mouth, two terrifying numbers floated above his head.

He dropped dead instantly, his soul turning into a beam of white light and flying toward the nearest resurrection point.

“What the f*ck—what the hell?!”

The other Chaoge players thought they were hallucinating. 347 damage? Who the hell hits that hard? Even bosses didn’t deal that much!

The solo players nearby were just as stunned—mouths dry, swallowing nervously. Most of them hadn’t even seen 100+ damage yet. Over 300?! That was beyond imagination.

-337!

-333!

-349!

The fight wasn’t over. A string of miserable screams followed.

The moment Jiang Chen attacked, he had already aimed his arrows at the four Chaoge players around him. Since he’d decided to fight, it would be with overwhelming force.

“Holy sh*t…”

The four players had only just reacted before they dropped to the ground without even finishing their words.

This level 1 guy’s damage was terrifying. Even full-tank shield warriors couldn’t take two arrows. As for cloth armor users? One shot was instant death.

“You son of a bitch! You dare kill my brothers? You’ve got a death wish—I’ll chop you to pieces!”

A Chaoge player, having snapped out of his daze, rushed forward with a roar, eyes red with rage.

-337!

-349!

But before he got very far, two meteor-like arrows pierced through the air, dropping him instantly.

Jiang Chen wasn’t some bloodthirsty killer, but if someone acted up in front of him, he wouldn’t tolerate it.

As long as there was a good enough reason, his response would be utterly ruthless—no mercy.

If you’re soft with your enemies, it’s yourself who pays in the end. There’s an old saying: ‘Mercy to your enemy is cruelty to yourself!’

Jiang Chen constantly reminded himself of that, because only by fully believing it could he be the kind of self-serving ‘bad guy’ he needed to be.

He took out six people in just three seconds.

His current attack speed was nearly two arrows per second—the deadly synergy of 118 Agility and a divine class.

Right now, cloth-armor players only had around 200-300 HP, and even shield warriors barely had over 600. They still couldn’t withstand his assault.

“Motherf*cker! A solo dares kill our Chaoge Guild members?!”

“Brothers, let’s all go! Let’s blast this bastard!”

“He’s just an archer. No matter how strong his skill is, it has a cooldown. Everyone, rush him! As long as we get close, one strike is all it takes!”

“Let’s go! All together now!”

The other Chaoge members, seeing Jiang Chen’s glowing arrows, assumed it was just a powerful skill—nothing more. In their eyes, he was still just a level 1 archer.

Ignorant of the truth, they all charged in, shouting to surround and beat him to death.

“Fools who don’t know their place…”

Jiang Chen’s expression remained cold as he muttered an icy line.

If this were in the past, facing a crowd like this, Jiang Chen would’ve definitely swallowed his pride and left.

But now, these people were nothing but filth to him.

The next second, his longbow was drawn again, and radiant Elemental Arrows shot out one after another.

-347!

-351!

-349!

-335!

-333!

-349!

…

A dense string of damage numbers floated above the heads of the Chaoge players rushing toward him.

None of them could survive even two arrows.

In no time at all, Jiang Chen gained over thirty points of Sin Value.

In Hope World, killing a player gave you one Sin Point.

If your Sin Value got too high, you couldn’t enter the novice village. But Jiang Chen wasn’t worried.

That kind of thing could easily be cleared by grinding monsters at high intensity. With his tenfold XP buff, he’d be in the wild for a long while anyway. Plus, he had plenty of supplies—no fear whatsoever.

At this moment, the solo players around him were completely dumbfounded.

Is this guy even an archer? Or is he a freakin’ machine gun?!
