Muscular Rabbits Legion: “No one can escape from the novice village!”
Chapter 280 - Chapter 280 Chapter 270 Qingming Wild Beast Xuanwu Falls

Chapter 280: Chapter 270: Qingming Wild Beast, Xuanwu Falls Chapter 280: Chapter 270: Qingming Wild Beast, Xuanwu Falls “Alright!” Qiu He responded and started summoning the players of the Underground City to bombard another location. Little did they know, just one kilometer to the east was still within the boundaries of the Confucian Sect…

On the same day, human players were welcoming the Tomb-Sweeping Festival.

A large number of players began to log off to pay respects at the graves, although some reminded everyone not to log off in large numbers to prevent the enemy from exploiting any gaps.

However, more people believed that it would still be half a year before the Beast Players could come out, so there was no need to worry.

As for human players, they had already agreed on the forums that no one should cause trouble on this day, and that attacking each other’s bases was prohibited, otherwise they would face collective retaliation.

Everything seemed so peaceful.

However, just as everyone got up early to visit the cemeteries, suddenly, everyone’s phones started ringing.

“Boss Black Storm, it’s terrible, a lot, a whole lot of unidentified creatures have declared war on us! The Beast Players are here, they came early!”

“Boss Xun Long, our village is under attack by Beast Players, the village is gone, everyone has fled back to Azure Dragon City. They’re heading towards Azure Dragon City now, and they’re moving so fast… Hurry back!”

“Gang Leader Xu, Xuanwu City! Xuanwu City is about to be breached by the Beast Players!”

“Trash, how can such a big Main City be breached?” Xu Tiecheng roared in anger.

The other person cried pitifully, “There are too many, just too many! I’ve never seen so many creatures before, they’ve completely overrun Xuanwu City!”

“What?!” Xu Tiecheng was shocked.

Meanwhile, everyone else’s phones were also exploding with calls, and then various messages started to come in, leaving people utterly dumbfounded.

Madman didn’t learn about the news through notification, but rather when the person beside him, who was visiting a grave, received a phone call. Then he found out that all the large cities were under attack.

Madman didn’t hesitate at all and logged in on the spot, only to be shocked by what he saw. Where did all these monsters come from, this siege? “Liars! A bunch of liars!”

Soon after, the system’s notification sound went off, and Madman’s expression turned solemn.

In just one morning, Xuanwu City was occupied by the Beast Players, White Tiger City was in imminent danger, half of Azure Dragon City was occupied, and fierce street battles were still underway.

The rest of the Royal Cities, Yinhu City, Chouniu City, and Rabbit City, had all fallen!

The remaining Royal Cities were also under intense attack…

But the hardest hit were the four Main Cities!

When the players logged on, they were stunned.

Above and below, everywhere was swarming with a massive, dark tide of the Beast Player armies, blotting out the sky like a black wave. No single player, not even ten thousand or a million players, could seem significant in the face of such a tide.

The players who logged on were instantly overwhelmed by the Beast Players’ army, ground into mincemeat.

When they resurrected, they found themselves in other cities.

At the same time, system-wide notifications were continuously ringing out from the sky.

“Ding! Xuanwu City has fallen, the City Lord Mansion has been occupied by the Beast Players, and if the Beast Players maintain control for 48 hours, Azure Dragon City will belong to the Beast Players. Azure Dragon City will no longer receive human players, and all quests of this Main City will be transferred to other Main Cities!”

“Ding! Azure Dragon City has fallen, the City Lord Mansion has been occupied by the Beast Players, and if the Beast Players maintain control for 48 hours, Azure Dragon City will belong to the Beast Players. Azure Dragon City will no longer receive human players, and all quests of this Main City will be transferred to other Main Cities!”

“Ding! White Tiger City is under attack…”

“Ding! Groundhog City is under attack…”

…

A series of notification sounds left the players completely baffled.

However, they soon regained their senses, as massive numbers of Beast Players appeared outside their cities, and a great battle was imminent!

To everyone’s surprise, of the four Main Cities that had not yet fallen, only White Tiger City and the previously considered weakest and least likely to survive, Vermilion Bird City, were still standing.

And what shocked them even more was that when some players resurrected in Vermilion Bird City, they saw a scene full of bewildered players!

Whether they were newly resurrected or local players from Vermilion Bird City, all wore blank expressions, for in their vicinity, not to mention Beast Players, they hadn’t even seen a single Beast hair!

Despite this, the players of Vermilion Bird City still climbed up on the city walls, ready for battle.

Yet, as a gentle breeze blew by, everything remained as usual, as if the war that devastated cities, discussed on the forums, never existed at all.

“What’s the situation? Are they looking down on our Vermilion Bird City?” someone whispered.

The crowd was at a loss…

At this moment, deep underground, a group of unlucky Wild Monsters were wailing; they changed locations but still couldn’t break through!

Beast Players exhausted several batches to no avail!

“Change locations, change again! Go a hundred miles to the east!” I refuse to believe we can’t break through!

“Roar…” A weary roar arose, half-heartedly responding.

…

Meanwhile, inside White Tiger City, the battle had reached a fever pitch.

The players of White Tiger City were slightly higher in level because they had all leveled up during the last siege battle. In addition, they had found a repeatable hidden quest in White Tiger City and had farmed quite a few Legendary Sets, so their Combat Power was still formidable.

Next was Black Storm, who had been extra vigilant ever since Rabbit’s surprise attack; he always insisted on having a large number of players online no matter the situation.

So, the moment they detected the enemy’s assault, a large number of players immediately formed the first line of defense, and the Vice Gang Leader on duty didn’t waste a moment before using the funds to purchase a batch of Demon Cannons.

Then there were the players from the Western District, who had long been aware of the Western District players’ retreat and the attacks they suffered from the Beast Players.

“`

Although they didn’t like the players from the Eastern District either, at least everyone was human.

When faced with an invasion by non-human creatures, at this moment, everyone set aside all their hatreds and united together.

With the help of those hundreds of thousands of players who had the Day of Tomb-Sweeping Festival off, they managed to hold off the first wave of attacks until Black Storm logged on.

Black Storm rented a large number of Demon Cannons, Heavy Crossbows, and High Level NPCs to man the walls. Under the onslaught of the heavy artillery, they finally held back the enemy’s tide-like attacks.

Then, as other cities fell one after another, a large number of players were resurrected in White Tiger City, providing them with a continuous supply of troops.

Even though there were far fewer human players than beast players, the Huaxia District’s population was still one of the highest in the world. When a large number of players gathered, they could still form a terrifying quantity in the local area, even gaining a numerical advantage at times, which abruptly halted the assault of the beast players.

Without NPCs, Xun Long was finally able to enter the city. Xu Tiecheng, looking disheveled, rushed to White Tiger City and found Black Storm.

Before the collapse of Groundhog City, Madam Xunyang arrived at White Tiger City with her people in tow.

Then there were others who had given up on their cities in advance and rushed to White Tiger City, including Kuku, Li Zhenbai, the Miao Border girl Qinghe, the Great Summoner Dantai Mingyue, the old Daoist, among others.

One could say that at this moment, White Tiger City had gathered most of the strongest combat power of the human players in the Huaxia District.

Watching the endless beast players in front of them kill their way over fearless of death, even under the bombardment of Demon Cannons, and sensing the madness and bloodshed on the battlefield,

Black Storm couldn’t help but exclaim, “To be honest, I’ve got to thank those rabbits. If we hadn’t scrapped with them, our people wouldn’t have seen blood, and I bet they’d be unable to even stand steady on this gory battlefield, all puking their guts out like fools.”

The others agreed deeply, especially Kuku, Li Zhenbai, and Madam Xunyang. The reason they gave up fighting right away was because their subordinates had not witnessed the bloodshed of war. Seeing the ground covered in gore and blood rivers, many had vomited, losing their fighting spirit.

But they all understood, because once the realism was increased to sixty percent, that kind of bloodshed was practically no different from reality. It wasn’t something that everyone could withstand at once.

Thinking of Rabbit, Kuku said, “Am I God? Does anyone know where he went? He can summon rabbits, and if he would lend a hand, it’d be a huge boost in strength.”

Xun Long shook his head, “Ever since Newbie Village Number 1 was teleported away, he’s just vanished. My people once saw him loitering in the quest area where I obtained the Five Elements Sealing Dragon Plate. I suspect he was looking for a way to unlock the Dragon Sealing Plate to save Rabbit.

Afterwards, he disappeared. I reckon he might have really triggered some hidden mission and entered a hidden map.

Otherwise, it’s not possible that there’s been no news for so long.”

Hearing this, everyone sighed…

Li Zhenbai said, “I gave up my small city right away. Sword Pavilion has quite a few people, but a small city simply couldn’t withstand such an onslaught. Has anyone seen Black Flag? They say he was in Chenlong City.”

Everyone shook their heads…

At this moment, the system prompt sounded again.

Monkey City, Youji City, Xugou City, and Hai Pig City were successively breached and occupied.

“It’s over, we’re the only ones left now,” Li Zhenbai said.

The Huaxia District is made up of four main cities, each leading three Royal Cities, which in turn command the Great Cities and Small Cities.

Now that all the Royal Cities around White Tiger City have fallen, there’s no need to mention the Great Cities and Small Cities; they’re definitely going to collapse soon…

As expected, a few minutes later, the news of the Great Cities and Small Cities being occupied started to flood the screen.

Those players who hadn’t reached the third tier could resurrect quickly, but once a player reached tier three, death meant a whole day offline.

The only silver lining was that there weren’t many human players at the third tier. Even though they’ve been leveling desperately, only a few who encountered tasks that could boost their levels had managed to advance.

And those, indeed, were losing one for every death…

For a moment, the human side felt an immense pressure.

The systematic announcements were like mountains continuously pressing down on this camel on the verge of collapse…

“No, no! Something’s off!” Xun Long suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone turned to look at Xun Long.

Xun Long said, “Have you noticed? There’s been no noise coming from Vermilion Bird City! Even the surrounding cities like Si Snake City, Wuma City, and Weiyang City are quiet! There’s been no system message of them being occupied or destroyed, which means they’re still there; they’re still holding on!

How could things be so peaceful over there?

Something’s off!”

“Indeed, although they’ve been leveling up fiercely, it shouldn’t be to the extent that they could withstand an attack of this intensity with just one city’s strength, right?” Black Storm said.

They all knew that Vermilion Bird City’s players were leveling like crazy, but they didn’t know the specifics of how they were leveling.

Because Vermilion Bird City had closed its gates early, not allowing any foreign players to leave the safe zone.

It wasn’t that Madman and the like were hogging the resources; it’s just that the resources in Vermilion Bird City really couldn’t support the entire Huaxia District’s players. It was already tough for them to boost their own levels, let alone take care of others.

So, naturally, Xun Long and others assumed that Vermilion Bird City, though leveling like mad, couldn’t possibly have the strength to withstand a beast siege. After all, everyone was going crazy with leveling, and nobody was inferior to anyone else.

If they’ve all fallen, why is Vermilion Bird City unscathed?

“Do you think it might be because of those rabbits?” Kuku said.

People were stunned; that might be the only answer!

After all, those rabbits had flipped over players who came attacking from the West and incidentally turned over those beast players, too. It wasn’t impossible.

At that moment, they suddenly felt a bit envious that Vermilion Bird had such a group of rabbits.

“This is a nationwide major event; there’s live streaming. If you want to know the situation there, why not just watch the live broadcast?” Kuku suddenly suggested.

Everyone slapped their thighs, only then remembering. They hurriedly opened the live streaming system, and then they were dumbfounded again.
