Chapter 2309: Chapter 1802: Troubled Times (Double-length 2)

The mage player expressed his opinion, "In my view, since these people don’t dare to show their faces, it indicates that their forces are not as strong as ours. As long as we proceed steadily, they definitely won’t dare to provoke us!"

"Makes sense."

Carving Dragon’s expression softened a lot, "Follow me, let’s first get the mission items before someone else does!"

...

As the group ventured deeper, they soon arrived near the pit of the demon Badongmeng. Upon seeing the statue, everyone showed an expression of surprise and delight.

"President Carving Dragon, I can confirm this time, this thing is definitely not a player!"

"Nonsense!"

Carving Dragon said with dissatisfaction, then waved his hand broadly, "Send out ten people to investigate the statue!"

"This is..."

These ten warriors were quite brave, but still didn’t dare to approach the statue easily. When they were some two meters away from it, a deep voice sounded through the heavens and earth—

"Humans, stop! Dare to take another step and face the consequences!"

"Who?"

"Who’s shouting like an idiot? Gave me a scare!"

"Who are you trying to scare? Come out quickly!"

Relying on their numbers, these warrior players raised their voices, just to boost their own courage.

"Humans, I advise you to reconsider, leave here immediately!"

The deep voice resounded again, heavily laden with warning.

"Rat tail? Is Master Ma playing games too?"

"Pff, hahaha, if it really were Master Ma, I’d immediately take him as my master!"

"Tch, with you looking like that, why would Master Ma take notice of you?"

As soon as ’rat tail’ was mentioned, the ten players burst into laughter, their tense mood vanished, and they no longer cared about anything as they continued walking toward the statue. Soon, they arrived right in front of it.

"We’re right in front of you, yet you won’t show yourself?"

"Didn’t you tell us to face the consequences? Where are they?"

"Ignore him, all talk and no action, doesn’t even dare reveal himself, coward!"

After coming closer, the ten warriors encountered no trouble, which confirmed to them that the voice was just trying to scare them, and nothing significant was happening.

"Since you refuse to repent, you will stay here!"

The voice sighed and then fell silent.

"Trying to keep us here? Hahaha, that’s funny, I want to see how you plan to keep us!"

"You still won’t give up at this stage, if you have guts, come out, if not, shut up!"

"I figured it out, this guy is hiding in the pit, that’s where the voice is coming from!"

One of the warriors was closest to the pit and heard it most clearly, eagerly stepping forward to the edge of the pit, intending to pull out the so-called player.

Just as he poked his head out, a white light flashed before his eyes, and before he could react, he was knocked back, taking the nine team members behind him along, all caught in a web, unable to move.

"Damn, a sneak attack?! How despicable!"

"Oh no, all my skills are disabled!"

"What are you afraid of, with ten warriors, we can tear apart this damn web with brute force!"

"Wow, this is really tricky! Such strong resilience!"

These few struggled like crazy, using every ounce of their strength, yet still couldn’t break free from the web’s constraints.

"President Carving Dragon, come save us～～～"

...

Carving Dragon was focusing on his subordinates, waiting for them to carry the statue back, never expecting such a reversal, getting caught in a single net.

"President Carving Dragon, they’re calling for help, should we go and save them?"

"Nonsense, of course we must save them! Everyone, move out, never mind the statue for now, rescue them first!"

Carving Dragon led by example, charging to the forefront. This was no time for losses, he couldn’t afford to lose ten subordinates, their lives must be secured!

Yet.

Before they could reach the front, a deep voice echoed in their ears.

"Leave here at once, or you will lose your freedom too!"

"What? Who’s talking!"

Carving Dragon shivered, he hadn’t heard the conversation between the subordinates and the spirit earlier, seeming quite surprised.

"President Carving Dragon, this guy is hiding in the pit, I saw with my own eyes the web was shot out from below!"

"I see."

After understanding the situation, Carving Dragon’s expression returned to normal, and he commanded in a deep voice, "Mage squad, step forward!"

"Concentrate your attacks on the pit, force the enemy out!"

"Yes!"

Following Carving Dragon’s command, nearly four hundred mages unleashed all their firepower, bombarding the pit in front of them, soon creating a large crater.

The ten trapped players, closest to the pit, were so scared they barely dared to breathe, afraid of being accidentally hit by magic projectiles.

"Hmm?"

This scene lasted almost three minutes, and Carving Dragon still hadn’t seen the enemies hidden in the dark emerge, which puzzled him greatly, even a thick-skinned boss couldn’t withstand such intense bombardment, could it be...

His subordinates lied?

Impossible.

Carving Dragon quickly dismissed the thought, as a prominent guild president, how could his subordinate dare deceive him, it could only mean the player in the pit had strong survival skills!

"Stop."

Carving Dragon ceased his subordinates’ attack, stepped forward, and called out loudly, "Dear friend, I am Carving Dragon of the Close to the Horizon guild, why not come out for a chat, perhaps we are old acquaintances."

"You humans are so deceitful, thousands of years have passed and you still haven’t changed."

The spectral voice sounded from the pit, showing that the earlier bombardment had not affected it much.

"We humans? Thousands of years? You’re... not a player?"

Carving Dragon was taken aback at first, then showed a delighted expression, "Sir, this was truly a misunderstanding, I thought it was an enemy and thus used lethal means, fortunately, your abilities are extraordinary and unaffected, otherwise, I’d regret it for life!"

"Unable to win, so it’s a misunderstanding?"

The demon spirit let out a disdainful chuckle, "Humans are such lowly... oh wait, you’re not going to ask for reputational damage compensation too, are you?"

Indeed, the demon learned from Su Ran’s teachings, remembering the lesson well.

The issue is, with only one Hundred-year Lingzhi, what if someone demands compensation again?

"Reputational damage compensation?"

Carving Dragon showed a peculiar expression, hastily bowing to conceal it, "Sir, you overthink it, elders lecturing juniors is just as it should be, naturally I won’t trouble you."

"President Carving Dragon, this NPC isn’t a fake, is it? How does it even know about reputational damage compensation?"

A cute girl next to Carving Dragon whispered softly, showing some suspicion towards the demon spirit’s identity.

"Don’t spout nonsense!"

Carving Dragon glared at her, "Which player have you seen with such transmit sound methods, if you want a special task, don’t offend this NPC, got it?!"

Having been reprimanded, the cute girl didn’t dare to say more and slinked back into the team.

"You humans are so complex and vary greatly, today I’ve truly witnessed it."

The demon spirit sighed, recalling the black-robed human, and comparing it to the white-robed scholar, such a vast difference in character!

"Sir, I have a favor to ask,"

Carving Dragon decided to take a gamble, revealing the task he received, "I came here under someone’s request, looking for three quest chests, have you seen them?"

He recited the keywords, hoping to trigger the hidden conditions from this NPC, what a relief it would be.

"Quest chests..."

The demon pondered for about ten seconds before asking, "The person who requested you, could it be the woodsman?"

"Exactly, wasn’t expecting you to know the woodsman, such a coincidence."

Carving Dragon was excitedly watching the pit, if they were old acquaintances, things would be much easier, maybe it would really work out!

"To think he hasn’t given up on saving me, truly rare. Since you’re from the woodsman, I won’t make things difficult for you."

The demon spirit no longer held back and said directly, "Kill someone for me, bring the Star Shard, and I’ll tell you where the three chests are!"
