Muscular Rabbits Legion: “No one can escape from the novice village!”
Chapter 303 - Chapter 303 Chapter 293 Kill Myself

Chapter 303: Chapter 293: Kill Myself Chapter 303: Chapter 293: Kill Myself The next moment, Miao Qiqi, carrying Yi Zheng on her back, took long strides and caught up with the parade.

The parade had not gone far when it stopped at the square just ahead, where a high platform had been erected. On it stood a man with a black face brandishing a longsword, beside him a large banner was planted, bearing the words: “Expel demons, protect the way, guard our homeland.”

Curious players continuously flocked to watch the excitement, and more and more people gathered around.

The black-faced man shouted, “Gentlemen, allow me to introduce myself, I am Black Lotus Jianxin, a direct disciple of the Dayan Sword Sect! I believe you have all heard about the invasion of the Outer Heaven Demons by now. The news has been confirmed, Outer Heaven Demons truly exist!”

“Buzz!”

There was a buzz among the people present.

Black Lotus Jianxin continued, “The twelve sects and some hermit masters held an emergency meeting overnight and decided to put aside all prejudices, unite, and gather all forces to eliminate the Outer Heaven Demons.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately excited.

“The twelve sects have united? And there are hermit masters too?”

“Wow, that’s a big move.”

“Then those Outer Heaven Demons are in for a rough time… I guess they never dreamed that so many would unite to kill them, right?”

“No matter what, they deserve to die!”

“Right, all enemies who want us dead deserve to die!”

…

While people discussed, Black Lotus Jianxin continued, “Currently, there is information that the Outer Heaven Demon has appeared near Ordering Mountain. Those who wish to expel demons and protect the way can sign up with me. We will set off at noon, and this time, we must slay the Heavenly Demon at Ordering Mountain!”

Upon hearing Ordering Mountain, many people were shocked.

“Ordering Mountain? That’s a deadly place.”

“Too dangerous, those who are too weak shouldn’t really go.”

“Afraid of what? This time the twelve sects are joining forces to extinguish the demon, there must be experts in charge. We’re going mostly to witness a historic moment, right?”

People felt that made sense, but still, not many truly dared to sign up.

“Ordering Mountain?” Yi Zheng looked towards Miao Qiqi.

Miao Qiqi recounted knowledgeably, “Ordering Mountain, one of the thirty-six deadly places on the Qianyuan Continent, the strength of the wild monsters inside is extremely terrifying. They are said to all be fourth tier ninth level masters, and there’s even the existence of fifth tier and above. It’s been said that inside Ordering Mountain, there have been sixth and seventh tier big demons. So far, all players who have entered Ordering Mountain have been killed; no one has come out alive.”

Yi Zheng asked, “Do you know what the Outer Heaven Demon looks like?”

Miao Qiqi shook her head.

“What does an Outer Heaven Demon look like anyway?” Yi Zheng asked directly, raising his voice.

Seeing someone asking, Black Lotus Jianxin shook his head slightly and said, “I can’t say exactly just yet, but you’ll understand when you see it. In any case, this battle is going to be very dangerous, but the rewards are massive. Whoever slays the Outer Heaven Demon will receive the protection of the twelve sects, and each sect will present one piece of epic equipment to the player with the highest contribution.

Last but not least, everyone who participates in this demon-hunting operation will be a hero of the Qianyuan Continent, and we will record this in the annals, monument and all!”

The mention of the rewards had everyone’s eyes shining, whereas the part about the monument didn’t seem to concern them much.

While people were pondering whether to participate, a voice exclaimed, “Participate, we must participate! Expelling demons and protecting the way is our duty. For the Qianyuan Continent, we shall spare no effort even unto death!”

Wow, not only was the voice loud, but the call to action was also well phrased!

People turned towards the voice and saw that it was a small figure wearing a white robe and a mask, riding on a young girl’s shoulders.

Someone shouted, “Miss, please control your son, the adults are conducting business here, don’t make a fuss.”

The expression on Yi Zheng’s face turned dark instantly…

“Pfft!” Miao Qiqi almost burst into laughter, but to avoid upsetting the NPC, she still held back her smile and said, “Uh, he… he’s an NPC, not a player, nor my child.”

The players here were no longer surprised by NPCs running about and getting involved in player matters.

After all, the world was becoming more and more realistic, and the line between players and NPCs was becoming increasingly vague. Except for some top-tier or special NPCs, ordinary NPCs were basically no different from players. There were NPCs keen on following players around to slay monsters, and some that caused a ruckus with random quest announcements and ended up being hunted down.

So, regarding Yi Zheng, an NPC, everyone just expressed slight dissatisfaction and then turned their attention back to Black Lotus Jianxin.

Black Lotus Jianxin didn’t care whether Yi Zheng was an NPC or a player; as long as he supported the cause of expelling demons and protecting the way, that was enough.

So Black Lotus Jianxin said, “Everyone, don’t be like this. Just like what this little brother said, expelling demons and protecting the way is our responsibility! Once the Heavenly Demons come over, we know nothing about them, yet they know us like the back of their hand, what will the consequences be? At best, we’ll suffer heavy casualties, at worst we’ll all be killed back to Zero Level and expelled from the All Heavens Game World. The safety of the Qianyuan Continent is hanging by a thread, do you really want to stand by idly?”

“We cannot stand by idly, we swear to defend the Qianyuan Continent to the death!”

The crowd turned to look back, and sure enough, it was that stupid kid shouting again, way too easily influenced, obviously too young.

Yi Zheng didn’t care about any of that; as a spectator, the bigger the fuss, the better for him, otherwise, he’d get bored just standing around.

Moreover, the confrontation with the Outer Heaven Demon – with the main forces of the twelve sects going forth – was a perfect chance for him to gauge the strength of the Qianyuan Continent. So, holding his small fists tight, he shouted, “Support Black Lotus Jianxin, support the Dayan Sword Sect, kill those stupid Outer Heaven Demons!”

Then, feeling like his shout wasn’t enough, Yi Zheng patted Miao Qiqi again.

Miao Qiqi felt like an idiot shouting along and didn’t want to continue.

Yi Zheng whispered, “The mission, the mission!”

Miao Qiqi asked, “Is there money or equipment?”

“Both!” Yi Zheng replied.

Miao Qiqi immediately perked up, clenched her fists, and shouted even louder than Yi Zheng, “Kill the Outer Heaven Demons, support Black Lotus Jianxin, support Dayan Sword Sect, annihilate them!”

The players around them watched the duo with black faces and then muttered, “Aren’t they just shills for Black Lotus Jianxin?”

Seeing that people were still uninterested, Black Lotus Jianxin gritted his teeth and said, “My eldest senior brother said, those who participate and take action against the Heavenly Demons–remember, it’s about taking action against the Heavenly Demons–will be granted access to the Dayan Heart Sutra Pavilion for one month!”

The crowd burst into an uproar of astonishment and shouted in amazement.

“What is the Dayan Heart Sutra Pavilion?” Yi Zheng asked Miao Qiqi in a low voice.

Miao Qiqi’s eyes lit up as she explained, “It’s the Heart Sutra Holy Land of the Dayan Sword Sect. It is said to contain Supreme Divine Skills and Heart Sutra Secret Techniques. But so far, no one has ever comprehended them… Even Qu Mayi, the top master of the Dayan Sword Sect, seems to have gotten nothing. If we could get in, it would be a huge opportunity. If we could grasp the essence, we would soar to great heights.”

Yi Zheng’s eyes also shone brightly as he raised his hand and shouted, “Support Dayan Sword Sect, annihilate those ugly, disgusting Outer Heaven Demons!”

Yi Zheng thought he was just howling on his own, but the next moment, the surrounding crowd shouted in unison:

“Annihilate them, support Dayan Sword Sect!”

Their voices were like thunder, startling both Yi Zheng and Miao Qiqi.

Indeed, talking to people about danger is useless; it’s the benefits that matter.

If the benefits are enough, whatever the Outer Heaven Demons or the crisis on Qianyuan Continent are, they will just be dealt with.

Thus, the mobilization meeting in Ando City for the extermination of the Outer Heaven Demons concluded perfectly. Then, Black Lotus Jianxin invited everyone to register, and finally, they set off immediately for Ordering Mountain.

As the first person to stand up and support Black Lotus Jianxin, Yi Zheng naturally received extra attention from Black Lotus Jianxin, who pulled him over to walk shoulder to shoulder.

All of a sudden, everyone looked at Yi Zheng and Miao Qiqi differently; before they were seen as idiots, then as shills, but now they were regarded as the perfect lackeys!

Miao Qiqi’s face turned red from being watched, while Yi Zheng was indifferent.

Now that he was close, Yi Zheng asked Black Lotus Jianxin in a low voice, “Brother Black Lotus, what exactly does an Outer Heaven Demon look like? Are they like humans or like dogs?”

Black Lotus Jianxin looked around and, seeing no one was looking, whispered, “I find you quite likable, so I’ll tell you secretly. Remember, you must not tell anyone else.”

Yi Zheng raised his little paw and said, “Definitely, when it comes to annihilating the Outer Heaven Demons, I’m serious about it!”

Miao Qiqi was also full of curiosity, nodding vigorously.

Black Lotus Jianxin whispered, “It is said that the Outer Heaven Demon comes from another continent. The first two who came looked human and were captured by Black Scorpion. Then another one, resembling a rabbit, defeated my eldest senior brother Qu Mayi and has been chasing after Li Xuantian…”

By this point, Yi Zheng’s face, which had been curious, now twisted into an expression of weirdness and frustration. It turned out the Outer Heaven Demon he had been cursing was none other than himself!

He was actively trying to pursue and kill himself!

This was just… incredibly ironic.

But Yi Zheng was also puzzled; he was clearly in Ando City, so why were these people heading to Ordering Mountain?

Black Lotus Jianxin only knew that the Outer Heaven Demon was spotted in Ordering Mountain, and that the twelve sects gathered there to slay demons and eliminate evil. His mission was to lead a group of people there for reinforcement.

Eventually, during a casual conversation on the way, Yi Zheng learned what had occurred recently.

Black Scorpion had not been quiet recently. After realizing she couldn’t rely on Li Xuantian, she disclosed in real life that Yi Zheng, I Am God, and I Am Not Fat were from another continent.

She claimed that the three of them were spies from another continent, aiming to scout Qianyuan Continent in preparation for an invasion, to annihilate its human population and seize its resources.

Once this news broke out, the world was shaken.

The top experts of the twelve sects were also startled.

Just like the Earthlings, they had not been aware of the existence of another continent, always believing their Qianyuan Continent was the largest and the center of the world.

Suddenly learning about another continent with humans and formidable strength eyeing them covetously,

everyone became panic-stricken, and no one could sleep peacefully.

They convened an overnight meeting and questioned Black Scorpion, who insisted that Yi Zheng and the others were spies planning an attack on Qianyuan Continent.

Though not everyone fully believed Black Scorpion, who could tolerate an enemy snoozing on their couch?

‘Better safe than sorry’ was a concept they all understood.

So, they decided to take two steps.
