The Fourth Disaster: People become gods through high martial arts and gaming

Chapter 228 A Sleepless Night
White Feather Gang stronghold.

As Mihos quickly disappeared from the battlefield, the entire area fell silent. Not only the captains of the defending regiments who were still fighting, but also the players who were prepared to fight to the death were all stunned for a moment.

"Does this BOSS even have the ability to escape?" Fang Zhen was dumbfounded as he watched Mihos fly away from not far away.

Now they really intend to gather together and take down Mihos. They even have a plan to send them one by one to Mihos's head, so that Luo Wushang and Ye Qinglu can use their extraordinary martial arts to take them all down with them.

As long as they can continuously damage the boss Mihos, they can keep reviving and whittling down Mihos until he has no health left.

Unexpectedly, Mihos, who had just been injured, ran away without saying a word, which surprised them.

Ragnarok, who had just arrived, looked at Mihos, who was speeding out of the battlefield like a missile, and analyzed, "I guess this BOSS is a story BOSS. As long as it gets injured, it will leave."

"What a pity." Fang Zhen looked at Mihos, who had disappeared from sight, with a hint of regret on his face. "This BOSS is so strong. If we could have killed it, the loot would have been really good."

"Brother Zhen, let's stop looking for now. Let's hurry up and get rid of these elites. If they get away again, we'll suffer a huge loss." Ragnarok looked at Fang Zhen, who was still thinking about Mihos, and pointed to the garrison captain who was fleeing everywhere.

At this moment on the battlefield, whether it was the remaining garrison captain or the White Feather Gang members who participated in the battle, after Mihos escaped, they were like startled birds and beasts. After only a moment of stunned silence, they fled in all directions like madmen, offering no resistance whatsoever.

With these people focused on escaping, especially the high-ranking warrior captain of the garrison, who, aided by his B6-level armor, could reach speeds of nearly 100 meters per second, catching up with the ambush would be difficult even for Luo Wushang, whose strength had reached the high-ranking level. Not to mention the players, whose strength was generally only at the initial and intermediate levels of warriors.

Outside the cave, the members of the White Feather Gang, who had been watching the show, were now panicking.

"How could this be? That was a mid-stage Bone Forging Realm expert!" Mans stared at the vanished Mihos, unable to believe his eyes.

The fact that the three monsters of the garrison were killed was already surprising enough, but what was unexpected was that the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy were able to defeat Mihos, a master of the Bone Forging Realm, and not just any Bone Forging Realm master, but a master who had reached the mid-stage of the Bone Forging Realm.

If someone else had told him this before today, he would have definitely suspected that the person was half asleep and talking nonsense in broad daylight.

But such an absurd thing happened right before his eyes, leaving him no choice but to believe it.

"What do we do now? Even Mihos has escaped. I'm afraid there's no way we can hold out." The captain of the secret guards couldn't help but ask Mans, who was in charge of the stronghold.

The experts at the mid-stage of the Bone Forging Realm have all fled. Although the White Feather Gang has improved its strength considerably during this period, and even has several martial arts elders who have learned secret techniques, it is clearly no match for the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy.

Even though the Obsidian Martial Arts School had less than half of its disciples left, it was still not something the White Feather Gang could contend with.

“Let everyone escape.” Mans thought for a moment and then gave the order. “Everyone scatter and escape as far as you can, then regroup in the city.”

"What about all those things inside the stronghold?" the captain of the guards asked with a grim expression. "Those are the assets that will allow our White Feather Gang to rise in the City of Light."

“That’s why we all have to escape quickly,” Mans explained. “The things stored in the base are hidden very deep, and they are usually impossible to find. But if we resist stubbornly, it will only arouse suspicion from the Obsidian Martial Arts School. And this base is of no use to the Obsidian Martial Arts School. Once they have searched for the supplies, they will leave. We can just come back quietly to retrieve them later.”

“Alright, then I’ll have them all evacuate right now!” The captain of the secret guards thought it made a lot of sense.

They had kept those things very well hidden, otherwise they wouldn't have let others come here. As for the entire stronghold, it was just an ordinary outpost for a local gang. For Obsidian Martial Arts School, which was already able to develop in the city, occupying a stronghold of a local gang was meaningless.

In an instant, the thousands of White Feather Gang members stationed inside the cave poured out like headless flies, fleeing in all directions without offering any resistance.

Meanwhile, Mans and the other martial artists fled with the other White Feather Gang members, intending to escape the stronghold by taking advantage of the crowd.

The Obsidian Martial Arts Academy has only about twenty disciples. Even if they are powerful, it is simply unrealistic for them to chase down and kill thousands of people in one go.

However, although Mans and his group had a good plan, after they dispersed, they soon discovered that the disciples of the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy had gone mad. They were watching the fleeing members of the White Feather Gang as if they had seen a treasure being taken away, leaving no one behind, and they didn't even care about the captains of the garrison regiments.

They either used the longbows they found to snipe the fleeing White Feather Gang members in the farthest distance, or they used all sorts of powerful moves.

Especially Luo Wushang, who directly slashed horizontally with her long sword, extending for hundreds of meters, even cutting off half of the cave, and snapping the trees within a radius of hundreds of meters.

With just one move, she took the lives of hundreds of White Feather Gang members, while Luo Wushang herself collapsed to the ground unconscious due to excessive consumption of her vital energy.

Meanwhile, Li Tianxing, who was in the crowd, sacrificed an arm after gathering his strength in mid-air and unleashed a Heaven-Shaking Fist into the Baiyu Gang's ranks. The powerful impact killed everyone within a hundred-meter radius, leaving the Baiyu Gang with less than a hundred members.

"Have all these people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy gone mad?" Mans, who was fleeing for his life in the crowd, was filled with confusion and fear when he saw this scene.

The members of the White Feather Gang have all fled. Even if they were to be hunted down, it wouldn't warrant going to such lengths.

One person risked their life, using a sword technique with severe side effects; another even sacrificed an arm to keep the members of the White Feather Gang alive.

What kind of grudge or resentment is this?
"That was close, we almost let them all escape." Fang Zhen complained as he frantically fired the B6-level longbow he had picked up. "I never expected this dungeon to be a timed battle royale dungeon. If we had been any slower, all the treasures in the cave would probably have been taken by these people."

Fang Zhen's words left Mans, who was not far away, completely dumbfounded.

Although the distance was quite far and some of the human language was not very clear, the words about the treasure being taken away were clearly heard.

"Do they all know?"

Mans looked at the Obsidian Martial Arts School disciples around him, whose eyes were shining, and felt that these disciples must know about the treasures that the White Feather Gang had hidden.

Before Mans and the other warriors could react, arrows rained down from the sky, flying directly towards them.

"Damn it!"

Seeing the incoming B6-level arrow, Mans immediately used the secret technique he had learned, unleashing all his potential. Not only did his physique grow larger, but his blood and qi also surged several times over, and his physical attributes soared, making him far superior to a beginner-level martial artist and even comparable to a high-level martial artist.

If possible, Mans would never use this secret technique, because its use would mean the rapid loss of life, making future breakthroughs in cultivation levels even more difficult.

However, Mans couldn't care less about that now, and neither could the other elders in the gang. They all used secret techniques to barely reach the level of high-level martial artists in order to deal with the falling B6-level arrows. But these B6-level arrows were too fast, like a sudden storm, and they didn't come from just one direction.

In less than a second, Mans and the others were pierced through vital organs by B6-level arrows, and then a beautiful figure stepped down from mid-air, walking on the arrows.

As soon as the beautiful figure landed, all the remaining members of the White Feather Gang within range also fell to the ground, their bodies riddled with countless holes from arrows, beyond any doubt of their demise.

"Finally, it's all cleared out. Now there should be quite a few treasures left in the cave." Ye Qinglu glanced around and saw that everyone who rushed out of the cave was dead, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Time-limited battle royale dungeons are all too common in virtual games. If you can't clear out the escaped monsters in time, the final dungeon reward will decrease by one point for each monster that escapes. If all of them escape, then you get no reward at all.

The boss suddenly ran away, and then the monsters in the dungeon ran away like crazy, which made them instinctively think of a timed battle royale dungeon.

Fortunately, they reacted quickly, preventing the monster from escaping from the cave; otherwise, the losses would have been much greater.

After Ye Qinglu and the others cleaned up the battlefield, they excitedly ran into the White Feather Gang's stronghold cave to check it out.

Do not check, I don’t know, I’m scared.

"This reward is too generous! Is this the reward for clearing all the monsters?" Fang Zhen looked at the various supplies displayed in the cave warehouse. Not to mention the Type 1 potions, there were more than a hundred Type 2 potions alone.

However, what surprised Fang Zhen even more than the potion was the large amount of energy ore in the warehouse and the energy veins discovered in the cave.

"No wonder this dungeon is so troublesome. Putting aside the potions, this energy vein alone could make us rich!" Ragnarok's eyes gleamed as he looked at the energy veins being mined inside the cave.

Although the energy vein in front of us doesn't look very good, at most it's a micro energy vein, far inferior to the small energy veins in Red Moon Town.

However, the small energy veins in Red Moon Town belong to Obsidian Martial Arts School, while the current micro energy veins belong to the players.

These players consume a lot of energy ore, especially after becoming martial artists. Type II energy potions are produced in very small quantities and not everyone can afford them. Most people still use energy ore instead.

"This dungeon actually rewards an energy vein. We must take over this place as soon as possible and make it our stronghold." Luo Wushang, who had recovered a bit, looked at the White Feather Gang's stronghold in front of her and liked it more and more.

With more and more slots available for the High Martial Arts Tour, more and more guild members will join, and the points and contributions they earn simply won't be enough to train a large number of people.

However, if you could have a base with an energy mine, you could simply hire players or members of your own guild to mine, and you could generate a lot of points and contributions every day. After all, martial arts schools not only reward points and contributions by collecting some ores, but they also reward points and contributions by collecting energy ores and energy crystals.

The price charged by the martial arts school is much cheaper than what they pay to the school, only 20% of the price. But this is still much more profitable than directly mining energy ore for the school.

“I agree.” Fang Zhen nodded. “We need to take over this place as soon as possible. Once we have this stronghold, we can use energy ore at will, and our team’s improvement speed will definitely be much faster.”

While the players were discussing how to become core disciples as soon as possible, a flying transport vehicle sped over from the City of Light.

"Aren't we there yet?" Wu Zhuoqun asked anxiously from the passenger seat.

Although they rushed over immediately after receiving the news, if they hadn't contacted Mihos first, and the three monsters had already taken action, it would have been useless for them to bring out the clan elders, since they weren't the clan elders who came in person.

Only by explaining to Mihos that the clan elders already knew about this matter, and that if Mihos assisted those three monsters, the clan elders would not stand idly by, thus making Mihos more wary.

After all, Mihos broke the rules first, so it's no wonder the clan elders have to teach him a lesson.

"Almost there, just over ten kilometers left." Lin Yan glanced at the survey map and breathed a slight sigh of relief. They were finally almost there after rushing for so long.

However, shortly after Lin Yan finished speaking, the life detector on the flying transport vehicle issued a warning.

A red dot appeared on the radar of the life detector, its life force exceptionally strong.

"A Bone Forging Realm martial artist?" Wu Zhuoqun looked at the life detector's display. Only Bone Forging Realm martial artists and Lord Monsters could have such a terrifying life aura. Lord Monsters were huge, so they would appear even larger on the screen, not just a red dot, but a red circle.

"That looks like Deputy Commander Mihos!" Lin Yan exclaimed in surprise, looking at a figure running through the woods below the car. "He seems to be injured!"

Wu Zhuoqun then looked out the car window and saw that the figure running through the forest was indeed Deputy Commander Mihos.

At this moment, Vice Commander Mihos was pale, and blood was streaming from one of his arms. He was clearly injured and seemed to be running away from something.

"What's going on? Did someone fight with Mihos?" Wu Zhuoqun looked at Vice Commander Mihos returning to the City of Light, his mind filled with confusion.

As the vice-captain, Mihos is not only an ordinary Bone Forging Realm expert, but also a mid-level Bone Forging Realm master. It's hard to imagine anyone being able to hurt Mihos. As for a monster attack, that's unlikely. Otherwise, Mihos would have notified them the moment he saw them, since a Lord Monster attack is no small matter. Instead, he quietly ran back to the city and ignored them like this.

However, just as Wu Zhuoqun and Lin Yan were feeling puzzled, the scene outside the flying transport vehicle soon shocked them.

The original White Feather Gang stronghold was now in ruins, littered with corpses and some humans dressed in silver-gray clothing cleaning up the battlefield.

At three different locations on the battlefield, Wu Zhuoqun and his companion nearly cried out in surprise.

Because the three corpses lying in those three places were figures they were very familiar with, and were also recognized by the garrison as three monsters.

"died?"

"Those three are dead?"

Wu Zhuoqun stared at the three figures, completely dumbfounded.

Those three monsters were the targets he had always pursued, and he even felt that he would never be able to defeat them in his lifetime. But now, those three people who were called monsters were all dead...
