Rebirth of the God Hunter Legend

Chapter 87 A Different Way to Play
He chickened out, he really chickened out. He was level 14, but he still couldn't see the monsters' attributes. There was only one explanation: these monsters were all top-tier monsters from the beginner village.

"Pffffffffffffffff!!"

In a panic, the players who had drawn their bows unleashed their full power, and a rain of arrows, ice arrows, and fireballs fell on the beast horde, causing enough damage to engulf an entire forest.

Looking at the monster legion that showed up with health bars but hadn't even scratched a single skin, Qingshan turned and ran!
hiss-

However, the instant he turned around, two sharp claws mercilessly pierced his chest, causing astonishing damage and taking his life in the process! His death, like a barrel of dynamite closest to the fuse, detonated at the moment, signifying the full-scale commencement of a brutal and crushing battle.

Crimson with blood, thousands of players were forcibly locked onto by various monsters, with no chance to resist. The targeted players were killed in the blink of an eye, and the scene of total annihilation was like a mountain flood bursting its banks, unstoppable.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!"

Roars, screams, and cries of agony filled the air. In just ten seconds, the 10,000-strong group that had entered the Gale Forest collapsed. The numbers in the upper right corner plummeted almost precipitously. The number of outsiders that had originally numbered 11000 instantly dropped to 5200, and the number was still decreasing!

On the eastern outskirts of Dongcun, a player who was leveling up suddenly turned around as if struck by lightning. His large, azure eyes were fixed on the number of outsiders in the status bar. He rubbed his eyes several times before shifting his gaze to the location of Xicun behind him. Recalling Lingchuan's previous advice, he no longer hesitated. He opened the team voice chat and issued the command, "Everyone stop leveling up. Everyone find high ground and wait for orders!"

In the distance, Fairy Xi, who was fighting a level 14 monster one-on-one, slashed with her dual swords, then felled the monster with a head full of question marks, "Looking for high ground to wait for orders? Why?"

He turned around suddenly, his expression complex, and took a deep breath, saying, "God said... to avoid accidental injury."

She didn't want to admit it, but besides this title, she really couldn't think of any other way to address that person. He truly lived up to his reputation of being awe-inspiring in front of ten thousand people.

Fairy Xi let out a soft exclamation, leaped a few times to Xiao Ran's side, and asked with a smile, "God said? When did you become a believer?"

He turned around suddenly, shook his head helplessly, and gestured for her to look at the status bar of the competitor.

Fairy Xi glanced over, her mouth slowly opening wide in astonishment, and asked, "What happened?"

……

Also located in the suburbs of Dongcun, the lone swordsman, who had long since led his team to settle on the high ground, sighed repeatedly and said with heartfelt admiration, "It seems we were just being presumptuous."

Half-asleep, her eyes flickering, she simply couldn't understand how a player of only level nineteen could create such a terrifying storm in the game, one that even a dam built by thousands couldn't stop. Fortunately, her father's judgment had never disappointed; he had made the right choice, even if the other party didn't seem to need it.

……

At the southwestern border, the elven man holding his sister's hand suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the dazzling blood-red pillar of light on the outskirts of the western village, speechless for a long time.

The elven girl's face turned pale, and when she looked at her brother again, her gaze had changed from anger to reverence.

……

Back in the outskirts of West Village, thanks to the physical resistance of the previous group, the remaining four thousand people finally escaped from the Gale Forest.

Ling Chuan followed behind the crowd, not in a hurry, but instead signaling the Bloodthirsty Leopard King to slow down. On one hand, he used Frost Tide to stabilize the aggro of the surrounding monsters, allowing them to continue to transcend the forced activity limit; on the other hand, he kept the monsters and enemy participants a hundred meters apart, so that he could throw Crimson Thirst at any time to pull the opponent into the monsters' forced connection range.

The approach is a bit perverse, but since the other party chose to oppose him, they must have been mentally prepared to be thoroughly humiliated. What? You say they weren't mentally prepared? Then they'll just have to learn to feel it with their hearts and enjoy it with their bodies.

After finishing all this, Ling Chuan gently stroked the Bloodthirsty Panther King beneath him. Coincidentally, in order to lure the level 19 monsters across the entire western border of the village, he accidentally entered the new territory of the Bloodthirsty Black Panthers. Just as he was about to cast Frost Tide to draw aggro, he discovered that the entire Bloodthirsty Black Panther clan was all green-named. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that when he named Big Black a few hours earlier, the Bloodthirsty Black Panther clan had become a friendly unit.

Thinking of this, Ling Chuan interrupted his throwing motion and prepared to pass by. Unexpectedly, the Bloodthirsty Leopard King watched him intently, its eyes filled with human-like expectation. Seeing this, Ling Chuan, as if possessed, called out its name—"Black".

"Black" responded to his call with action, leading his entire clan to surround him, forming a natural barrier against the monsters and completely cutting off the countless wild monsters whose hatred he had drawn.

Yes, you heard right, it's a partition. In other words, even if you become an allied unit with him, the Bloodthirsty Black Panther clan is still considered a "partner" of the same faction by other monsters.

What surprised him even more was that, for some unknown reason, even without the Frost Tide to reliably draw aggro, the Bloodthirsty Black Panthers could still ignore the limitations of their movement range. With this ability, it meant that for the next mob-pulling maneuvers, he no longer needed to maintain high-intensity positioning; he could simply rely on the natural barrier formed by the Bloodthirsty Black Panthers.

"Snoring..."

As Ling Chuan stroked him, "Black" turned its head and gently nuzzled against Ling Chuan's chest. To be honest, he was able to ride "Black" thanks to the characteristics of a Dark Night Familiar; anyone else would probably be thrown off in a couple of moves.

He patted "Black's" big head again and said with a smile, "Let's go, Master will take you to conquer all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his consciousness shifted, and a huge black shadow appeared out of nowhere, stepping on crimson lightning as it charged out from the flank of the four thousand contenders, leaping into the crowd! Who else could it be but the quasi-Silver-level slave beast, Demon Bear Tao?

Chains surged, lightning swept across, and two major AOE attacks suddenly erupted, annihilating dozens of people and then sweeping across the entire contestant camp with lightning speed, not only instantly killing dozens more players but also disrupting their formation.

"Holy crap! What was that just now?!"

A terrifying panic erupted from the crowd.

"A bear! A giant bear! As big as a building!"

"Damn it, what kind of monster is he in his past and present lives?! Commanding an army of wild monsters is one thing, but he can even control a BOSS?! If it weren't for the official testing, I would have suspected he was cheating!"

"Stop talking nonsense! We're almost at the starting village! Once we're inside, even a god can't kill us!"

"Yes, yes! Quickly!"

……

At this moment, the contenders had lost all will to fight; all they wanted was to survive. Especially when they saw the spacious West Village gate, it was as if they had seen a holy stairway to heaven, and even their vision became dazzling and warm.

Little did they know, just three hundred meters from the gate, Nishimura Guard Ron, along with spearmen Rand and archers Varo, drew their weapons and blocked the west gate, shouting sternly, "Special times! Outsiders, please take a detour! Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without mercy!"

Despair, like the vines grasped before falling off a cliff being severed, gradually turned the eyes of the four thousand people from bright to gray.

Yes, the restrictions are equal. Since only one person's past and present life must be exposed on the entire map, those who are contenders naturally cannot be deserters.

Realizing this, all four thousand people stopped three hundred meters from the gate and gave up struggling.

"Hey?"

Ling Chuan signaled "Black" to stop temporarily. The monster legion, whose aggro was held back by the Frosty Tide, could only circle around the Black Panther. In this way, the two forces became the most spectacular sight in West Village.

Three hundred meters from the gate, four thousand players stood frozen in place, their faces deathly still. One hundred meters behind them, over a thousand imposing, massive monsters huddled around a group of black panthers, resembling some kind of fanatical idol worshippers. In the center of the panther pack, a player enveloped in a pillar of crimson light stood ramrod straight on the back of the panther king.

This scene, witnessed by the players gathered in West Village to watch the excitement, gave them an unprecedented shock. It seemed as if the person standing among the monsters was not a player, but a demon king who commanded monsters and was preparing to attack the village!

"Ah."

Everyone laughed at themselves, how could a level 19 player be compared to the Demon King? That was just an absurd perception.

That's right, that's what they thought a second ago, but the next second, Ling Chuan's words completely confirmed their absurd perception.

"Gentlemen, this is no fun. You're all acting like young people, with no energy at all. How about we change the game? If even one of you manages to escape to the border of East Village, I'll stop chasing the rest and reward each of you with one gold coin. What do you say?"
