The Fourth Calamity: People in High Martial Arts, Gods in Games

Chapter 103 Still want to eat? We're here to take you away!

The night was dark.

Less than 50 kilometers from Chiyue Mountain, in a lush valley, a village built entirely of cement and steel, enclosing a small part of the valley, is brightly lit. In front of the three-story building in the center, there are even apes, each over 2.5 meters tall and covered in thick hair, hawking their wares on the street. The place is bustling with people, just like a lively market.

Placed in the dangerous wilderness, it resembles a paradise.

This village is the Great Ape Gang's base camp in the wild, and it is also an area that various wild gangs and many nomads in the City of Light dare not set foot in.

Only the ape tribe can enter this village; any other race that comes will be either driven away or killed.

However, at this time, inside the three-story building of the Great Ape Gang, there were several people who were not from the ape clan who were being received by the gang's higher-ups.

Inside the luxurious hall, which was entirely made of energy ore, a group of beautiful women from various races, dressed in short skirts, danced gracefully on the stage. Their singing voices captivated even the ape guards protecting the hall, who would frequently turn their heads to look at them.

"I wonder what a lucky day it is today that the vice leader would invite dancers from the Phantom Dance Troupe." A young ape guard wearing A5-level protective gear and possessing the strength of an intermediate apprentice looked at a red-haired ape woman dancing inside the gate, his mouth practically watering, and said with envy, "I wonder when I can go in and sit and enjoy it too."

As the most famous dance troupe in the suburbs, the Phantom Dance Troupe's performances are always packed. Many people with some money and status are willing to spend five or six thousand bits to buy the front row seats.

Inviting the Phantom Dance Troupe to perform in the wild would cost an astronomical sum.

"What are you thinking, kid?" The middle-aged ape-man standing guard on the other side chuckled. "Even someone with the strength of an advanced apprentice wouldn't be qualified to go in. How dare you, a mere intermediate apprentice, even dream of it?"

As a long-established and powerful outdoor gang, the Great Ape Gang has a system where advanced apprentices can't even reach the top ranks. Only the ultimate apprentices can manage to get a high-ranking position.

"But who are these Feather Clan members that the Vice Clan Leader is receiving this time? Why is the Vice Clan Leader so willing to go to such lengths for them?" The young ape guard looked curiously at the several Feather Clan youths sitting on the high platform. These youths were dressed in extraordinary clothes and their strength was even more astonishing, each of them having already reached the level of a Limit Apprentice.

"Them?" The middle-aged ape guard glanced at them and said, "They should be young masters from some families in the suburbs. I heard they have close ties with the White Feather Gang. They came here this time to make our Great Ape Gang take action against Crimson Moon Mountain as soon as possible."

"Crimson Moon Mountain? Isn't that a tiny energy vein occupied by the Obsidian Martial Arts School, which barely makes it into the top fifty?" the young ape guard asked, puzzled. "Don't we, the Great Ape Gang, already have two tiny energy veins? If we occupy a third, won't the other powerful gangs have objections?"

"I don't know about that." The middle-aged ape guard shook his head, also finding it quite strange.

Micro-energy veins in the wilderness of the City of Light are very rare. Even for a large wilderness gang supported by a powerful race, occupying two veins would already cause a lot of trouble among other large wilderness gangs, let alone occupying three.

In the hall, Noko, the vice leader of the Great Ape Gang, sat high in the main seat, drinking the limited-edition Crimson Fire Wine from the suburbs while sizing up the three young Feather Clan members sitting opposite him, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

"I understand your requests." Noko snapped his fingers, and the dancers on the stage stopped and left the hall, leaving only Noko and the three Feather Clan members. He slowly said, "However, since we're going to be contributing both manpower and resources this time, shouldn't we change the allocation of resources for this small energy mine at Crimson Moon Mountain?"

"After all, this is different from what was agreed upon. Previously, it was you who kept weakening the Obsidian Martial Arts School, and our Great Ape Gang only needed to send some people to pretend to attack Red Moon Mountain."

"Of course, that's no problem. As per our previous agreement, we can offer the Great Ape Gang a 30% share." The elegant young man from the Feathered Clan, who was leading the group, smiled and said, "Even the top five gangs right now would probably accept this share without hesitation. I think Vice Gang Leader Noko should have felt our sincerity, right?"

"Thirty percent?" Noko was slightly surprised upon hearing this, somewhat disbelieving the wealthy young man's words. "Really?"

"Really!" The noble young man from the Feathered Clan nodded. "How could I joke about such a small energy vein?"

"Alright! Then leave the Obsidian Martial Arts School to us. We guarantee that the Obsidian Martial Arts School will disappear from Crimson Moon Mountain within the next two days!" Noko laughed heartily at the noble young man's guarantee, without any doubt whatsoever.

Because this young man is of very high status, even the leader of the White Feather Gang, who revealed the secrets of Crimson Moon Mountain, wouldn't normally have the right to meet him. It's only because their Great Ape Gang and Great Gorilla Gang have such close ties that they received such a good deal.

Norko then respectfully escorted the three winged youths out of the base camp. Only after the three winged youths were completely away did a masked ape youth with the strength of a quasi-martial artist come up.

"Uncle, could this be a trap? That's 30% of a small energy vein!" the masked ape youth asked with some concern. "But a gang that's only ranked in the top fifty, even if the White Feather Gang can't make a move, it shouldn't be that valuable."

"There is indeed a trap." Noko nodded as he looked at the disappearing Feather Clan youth. "I just received news that all fifty-odd vagrants who ambushed the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy's transport convoy have been killed, including experts like Gluttonous Villain and Poison Rose. The dozen or so people from the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy suffered no losses."

"They even took down vagrants like the Gluttonous Villain and the Poison Rose?" The masked ape youth was somewhat surprised, then even more worried. "Doesn't that mean the Obsidian Martial Arts Academy is very strong, not as simple as outsiders think? Are we really sure we can handle attacking Crimson Moon Mountain directly like this?"

"So what if you're strong?" Noko said arrogantly, a hint of disdain on his lips. "In the wilderness of this City of Light, even a dragon has to coil up in front of our Great Ape Gang. Go and gather your men now, and we'll attack Crimson Moon Mountain tomorrow."

"Yes!" The masked ape youth said no more, feeling that what his uncle Noko said was also right. No matter how strong a newly emerging human gang was, it was just a matter of them having to put in a little more effort.

Less than an hour after the masked ape youth went to gather the Great Ape Gang's men, a medium-sized transport vehicle slowly drove to a place less than a kilometer away from the village.

"The enemy probably doesn't expect us to launch a surprise attack first. What you need to do is simple: before the Great Ape Gang gathers all its experts, just charge in and kill as many of their experts as you can. Regroup here in half an hour." Lin Qi gave the order from the top of the hill, looking at the Great Ape Gang's headquarters.

"Is it just a time-limited mission?" Ragnarok sighed softly upon hearing this.

"Half an hour is enough." Luo Wushang didn't take it seriously and instructed, "Split up and try not to disturb the ordinary members. Prioritize finding the BOSS. Whoever finds it should send a signal and we'll all earn the reward together."

The latest novel is first published here!

Fang Zhen, Yi Ye Fu Yun, and others present nodded in agreement, agreeing that this was the best approach.

Immediately, Luo Wushang and the other nineteen people quickly infiltrated the Great Ape Gang's headquarters.

After everyone infiltrated in batches, Xiao Yuan, who was acting alone, somehow managed to sneak all the way to a rest area for the leaders of the Big Ape Gang, whether by luck or not.

Inside the house, a group of ape men and women, whose strength was at the advanced apprentice level, were eating meat and drinking wine, while many of their apprentice-level underlings were adding to the merriment.

"Brothers, watch closely. Now I'm going to show you how to deal with enemies like the apes." Xiao Yuan made a victory sign in mid-air, pushed open the door, and walked in with a B2-level battle knife in hand.

However, Xiao Yuan's appearance did not elicit any reaction from the apes inside the house. They all looked at Xiao Yuan, who was not tall to begin with, with dazed, drunken eyes.

"Hey, what's this little human guy?"

"Little one, are you lost? Come here and dance for me, maybe I'll let you go!"

"No, you have to tell me a joke that makes me laugh before you're allowed to leave alive!"

None of the Great Ape Gang's core members paid any attention to the sudden appearance of the humans. They continued eating and drinking as if they had seen something amusing.

"Still eating?" Xiao Yuan was speechless, looking at the still unaware members of the Great Ape Gang. She swung her battle sword in the air, and a flash of light cleaved the central dining table in two. "Here comes your takedown!"
