Chapter 299: Reaping what they sow
[Salted Fish Territory]
In the open space, surrounding a bonfire and row of lit of torches were tables arranged in a circle. The left Salted Fishes had just finished cooking dinner.
"Eat more meat." Auntie Su picked up a few slices of fried lean part of the pork and placed them atop Little Zhou’s bowl of steaming white rice.
Little Zhou didn’t join Elga in exploring since her whip proficiency was only starting level. Until she can control the aim of her whip, Elga wouldn’t allow her to the grinding spots.
Before her Master departed, she also left copper coins for fee for the training field and asked the Aunties to take care of her and give her small jobs while they were gone.
"Thank you Auntie." Little Zhou smiled shyly before taking a bite of the pork. "Hmmm..."
Though it didn’t taste like what that Handsome Brother cooked this morning, but having meat was a blessing. Little Zhou appreciate the Aunt’s gesture.
"Where will you sleep tonight?" Auntie Su asked.
"I’ll sleep with Aunt Remi and the rest." Little Zhou swallowed the food before answering.
"Do you already have some beddings? How about sleeping wear?"
Little Zhou nodded. Sir Elf although strict looking was very attentive. He gave all her necessities and credited them to her account.
"What did Sir Elf said? And where are they now? Did they find the landowner and her boyfriend?"
Auntie He have been in contact with the three brothers and were updated with the happenings. "Unfortunately no, but he said as long as the territory exists, the owner is said to be fine."
"He also said that don’t worry about it because the Landowner is more powerful than we know. He said that even if the world collapsed, the owner won’t."
"Additionally, if everything goes well. We may have to welcome new residents tomorrow morning."
"New residents?"
Little Zhou lifted her eyes and perked her ears listening to Aunt He.

[Main Game Planet, Salted Fish Temporary Camp]
In one of the huts in the Salted Fish Temporary Camp.
"You all see their gears? They are silver-grade and above." The eyes of the man who spoke showed greed. He eyed his brothers in arms before continuing, "If we could have them, we can walk sideways from now on and whatever monsters come in our way, we can kill them easily. Not to mention those supplies."
Brother Ding’s eyes landed on the torch and remembered the taste of the noodles before licking his lips, "I bet once they’re dead. The supplies that will drop will be rich, richer than the ones were killed before. It can last us at least for a week."
If Li Chunhua was here, she would have seen the bodies of everyone sitting inside the hut releasing bloodlust aura unique to those who killed unjustly before.
"Brother Ding, you must have seen them fighting. Snatching those gears from them will be very difficult." Another man wearing a turban and playing with a knife said worriedly.
"Especially that girl with wings and the girls with her, have you seen them defeat a group of robbers alone without the guys help?"
The group totally ignored the three brothers, Glen, the assasin, and Siri, thinking that they were paper tigers and cowers that hided under the girls’ skirts.
Brother Ding smiled mysteriously, "I got an idea."
The others leaned over and listened to his plan.

In the dead of the night, a group of people went out excusing themselves to take a pee.
There were other players beside Cui watching the night and saw the notorious group behaving suspiciously.
A man belonging to Aunt Hui’s group saw them passing by. He closed the zipper of his pants before returning to the camp while wondering what these people were up to.
The one guarding the only entrance was Cui and Ge and when they saw the suspicious movements of the group they only forego with it, while maintaining a friendly smile.
"Uncle, watch out for snakes. They might to bite your things down there when you least expected it." Cui said, grinning.
Ding was disturbed at Cui’s words wondering if there was underlying message, but the man’s silly smile dispersed his suspicions.
When the group of Brother Ding disappeared, Cui stood up and informed the Elf.
"Got it." Siri who had just stopped interrogating someone exited the hut.
Twenty minutes later, the sound of roars resounded awakening everyone including the prisoners.
Their hearts loudly thumped in their ears and the doors of the huts opened. People came out and stared nervously around.
"What was that?" the players
"Protect those who are deemed worth protecting." A pair of red eyes looked at the shivering individuals who have come out of their huts.
They saw the darkest times will reveal the darkest of the human hearts.
"I can’t believe they really did it." Elga leaned against the wall of the hut, grunting at the boldness, audacity and stupidity of the group. Don’t they know they also be in danger?
"First exhaust our strength and drain our mana before killing us. What an insidious plan." Siri uttered in cold chilling voice.
"So that’s it." Elga’s eyes became grim. Her hands holding the axe was itchy and couldn’t wait to slice some eggs.
"Sir Elf, you don’t need to repeat. Our swords will only be used for justice and for beating malicious people." Cui muttered heroically.
Glen and the one who has assassin profession arrived, both were panting, "They’re at 200 meters away from here."
"How did they attract the monsters?" Elga asked in confusion.
"A special item, a wide range taunt skill, or...." Siri entered the hut where the men had stayed and kicked it opened.
The heavy scent of blood assaulted their noses. It dawned to them what the group used.
The other refugees were attracted by the noise and they behind Siri’s group.
When they saw the blood, their faces became pale as paper.
"But before they went out, I didn’t notice any wounds." Cui mumbled.
"There’s a healer in their group." Siri’s words made Cui slowly nodded.
"Elga?" Siri eyed the pixie.
"Leave it to me." Elga called her girls, digging the soil soaked with fresh blood.
200 meters away, a group of men as climbing the trees, watching the silhouettes of monsters below rushed towards the direction of the camp.
"Brother Ding, your plan worked-" The man stopped when he saw shadows running towards this direction, the monsters fell where the passed by. He narrowed his eyes, thinking it was just a hallucination.
Ding was busy climbing and didn’t notice the shadow.
The shadows stopped beneath the trees and poured the soil on it before returning.
The men who were still laughing found themselves into a heap of trouble when they felt the trees were shaking.
"What is happening?" Brother Ding circled his arms tightly around the tree.
He only heard the loud sound of something snapping and crashing before someone screamed his name.
"Brother Ding help me!"
"Get off me! Get off me!"
The noises only lasted for five seconds.
Brother Ding shivered.
Elga and her girls saw the happenings in the distance.
You reap what you sow.
