The Boss King actually disguised himself as a novice village chief?!

Chapter 846: Chapter 587: The Castaway

The pitch-black space in front began to twist.

When Diao the Dark Great Mage and his team came to their senses, they discovered an energy portal ahead. The square space, surging like clouds, looked like some kind of insect chamber, vomiting them out.

Upon landing, they found themselves at the entrance of a mountain cave. There was no sunlight outside, but the space seemed to have other forms of illumination, projecting light evenly from all corners.

On the vast, decayed plain, otherworldly plants resembling reeds grew everywhere, reaching the chest height of the Undead.

A gust of wind swept through, making the plants wave.

The Teleportation Gate was placed in a corner, far from the many other gates in the distance.

The four quickly moved to eliminate the captive.

"Let’s sneak out first!" said the blonde twin-tailed little Wizard.

"The area is heavily guarded, we absolutely cannot break through forcefully."

"Honestly, I didn’t expect us to squeeze through successfully."

"Yeah, I thought we were just glitching through the map."

"Several continents haven’t been fully explored yet, and the game made another map hidden behind the Teleportation Gate. It’s really good at hiding."

Without any sense of urgency about being deep in enemy territory, they crouched and walked cautiously, chatting excitedly all the while.

They were also livestreaming for others to watch.

"Does anyone feel something’s off?" the blonde twin-tailed little Wizard asked.

"Hmm, the system shows we’re in a low-magic area now. Magic recovery speed -100%. Wait, doesn’t that mean there’s no magic at all?" Diao the Dark Great Mage quipped.

"No worries, I brought enough potions."

Speaking was the Undead standing on the far left. He wore a red robe, and his body was extensively mechanized.

Among many strong fighters, his combat awareness wasn’t the best. Despite top-notch stats, he wasn’t outstanding at this stage, but he was a crucial member of the team.

The owner of the gaming club, known as Gou Ge, previously loved eSports and wasted a lot of money. After entering "The Ring", he started leveraging his wealth.

Not good at using skills? Slow reactions? Always flustered?

Throw money at it, and everything’s solved.

Take Gou Ge’s current gear, for instance, his body was modified to an exaggerated extent. If he were to be disassembled, a gust of wind could blow away the meat bits within the Iron Lump.

His body was packed with various Alchemical Tools, ensuring good relationships with NPCs. Each transaction started at hundreds of thousands, all for a cheerful spending spree.

Spending money easily made friends, NPCs included.

So when Gou Ge said he had plenty of potions, the others breathed a sigh of relief. They had Magic Potions too, but most lasted only two or three intense battles before running out.

Warfare is expensive.

If they couldn’t win consecutive battles, the Undead would suffer losses, and substantial ones, since their gear also took damage.

After Lind allocated the fighting costs among every Undead, the Undead then had to bear expenses for gear, supplies, and even their own healing and repairs.

"Let’s go this way."

"This place feels much like the Abyss."

"Still not quite, it’s too quiet here. Even the red-named natives in the distance don’t act as crazed as the Abyssal Calamity."

"Let’s go this way, seems there’s a river. Might be a way out."

"Brothers, let me analyze for everyone." A voice sounded, and they turned to look.

Speaking was the one between Gou Ge and the twin-tails.

"21 Assists, a streamer from the entertaining section, skilled in both operations and techniques, and a high-intensity sleeper since this game launched."

His channel had the most viewers among the four.

"Let me introduce my teammates." He pointed. "Qiuyue, a super-skilled Wizard, ranked top 3000 in PvP ladder, the only glass cannon on the list."

The twin-tailed Wizard made a scissors gesture: "You can call me Ali, muah."

"Ugh, don’t disgust people. Don’t be fooled, he’s a guy, 192 cm, a forward."

"What PvP ladder ranking? Never heard of it." Gou Ge was puzzled.

"It’s a niche ranking, organized by some Undead a while ago, with over three thousand participants."

"Oh, so that kind of top 3000."

"Just say if it’s true or not."

Assists pointed to another person: "Regular viewers of my stream must recognize Gou Ge. You can spam ’Did Gou Ge spend money again?’. "

"The last one, first time teaming up, Diao the Dark Great Mage. Can’t deny Diao is solid, an old glass cannon player."

After brief introductions, the four began their escape journey without urgency.

Assists said, "I guess ahead is the battlefield for the new map after its release."

He peeked ahead, and everyone in the livestream noticed the vast red-named enemy sea.

"Given the game’s nature, we’re definitely joining a large-scale battle."

"Do you think we’re ready for it?" Gou Ge asked.

Usually, when the Undead joined large-scale battles, except against powerful bosses, they were often the heroes on the battlefield.

Strong, reborn, always capable of rambling across the battlefield.

They’ve never faced an adversary with comparable numbers and possibly stronger individual combat prowess.
