Online Games: From Professional Gold Farmer to Night King

After browsing for another hour and a half, just when Wang Xing thought he couldn't find any posts that interested him, a post that seemed somewhat familiar to him reappeared.

[A deep exploration of the mysterious caves in Red Leaf City leads to a crushing defeat for the summoning alliance!]

The poster was a blogger named "Xiao Zhao". In the post, he claimed that the Summoning Alliance had gathered all its members, a total of more than 600 Summoners, to enter that mysterious cave together.

Among these 600+ summoners, 12 summoners possess 3 summoning skills, meaning they are all powerful summoners who can summon fire spirits.

They thought they could easily crush the cave monsters, but to their utter surprise, the 600-plus people were slaughtered in less than 5 minutes against the powerful demon monsters.

Not one left!

This battle caused the Summoning Alliance's more than 600 members to drop by 1 level, falling to level 29, greatly reducing their strength. Their original position as the third guild in Red Leaf City may be shaken.

Although they failed, the Summoning Alliance still managed to uncover more information about the cave.

First, there's the variety of monsters. Besides the bloodthirsty demons with their entire bodies covered in blood, there are also even more powerful Blood Demons!

They had already killed seven or eight bloodthirsty demons with the help of their summoned beasts, but just as everyone was feeling triumphant and about to go deeper, they were all slaughtered by the suddenly appearing blood demons.

Although no information about these two monsters was released, the other party posted photos of their appearances.

This bloodthirsty demon is a reptilian humanoid monster with dark red skin, blood-red eyes, sharp claws on its hands, and a mouth full of fangs, looking like it's ready to devour anyone it can.

As for the Blood Demon, it's much more attractive—yes, truly beautiful in the real sense.

It has a complete human form, with extremely pale skin, bright red lips, and looks similar to a normal human, except that its blood-red pupils are completely out of place.

The post claims that this Blood Demon is extremely fast, has extremely high attack power, and also has a high life-steal effect.

They managed to reduce the Blood Demon's health significantly with their summoned beasts, but the Blood Demon quickly absorbed all of it back.

Moreover, this Blood Demon is extremely intelligent and knows how to kill players without caring about their summoned beasts. This leads to the summoned beasts disappearing as soon as the summoners die.

The players behind tried to escape, but the cave was too long and the terrain too complicated, making it impossible for them to escape at all. In the end, all 800-plus players were wiped out.

Wang Xing looked at the comments below, which were all sorts of things, and the players were discussing it heatedly.

However, since the official explanation was given last time, no one tagged the official account again, but players are still full of questions about this mysterious demon.

Lingling: How scary! I'm from Red Leaf City. I wonder if the monsters inside will come out.

Fat Bear: Don't be afraid, girl. I'm a level 30 warrior, fully equipped with bronze gear. I'll protect you! (PS: Please add me on QQ~)

Convoluted: If such a monster appears in Red Leaf City, shouldn't all guilds unite and send elite troops to wipe it out? Or should they report it to the city lord and let the NPCs handle it?

Feng: I am also from Red Leaf City. I can testify that the system's guards came to clear out the area. Two level 50 elite swordsmen and 48 level 50 ordinary guards were all killed in action, with no survivors.

...

A whole bunch of comments, mostly discussing how to deal with these mysterious monsters, were posted. Wang Xing read them for a while and then logged out.

"Red Leaf City... Mysterious Cave..."

"I was planning to explore this area after finishing the raid, but now that I have some free time, why not go check it out? I still have 98 demons to kill for my Demon Hunter quest; maybe I can finish it here!"

"As for dropping a rank..."

Wang Xing touched the teleportation ring in his hand. "If we really can't win, teleporting away at a crucial moment isn't a bad option!"

With the teleportation ring, Wang Xing now has an extra life-saving tool in critical moments.

Furthermore, with Wang Xing's attributes greatly increasing after reaching level 30, exploring this demonic cave wouldn't be a bad idea.

"It's settled then! Teleport to Red Leaf City 225,888."

Wang Xing did not know the coordinates of the Demon Cave, nor was he familiar with the coordinates of Red Leaf City.

However, he knew that as long as the prefix was Red Leaf City, he could teleport successfully by entering any coordinates.

With a flash of light, Wang Xing disappeared from the spot.

The next second, Wang Xing appeared in a large hall.

"Who goes there!"

When Wang Xing regained his vision, he found himself surrounded by six elite guards with broadswords.

"Holy crap! Where did I get teleported to?!"

Wang Xing then realized that he had not been teleported to the outer area, but to a large hall.

At this moment, in addition to the six guards with broadswords around him, there were three middle-aged men dressed as officials looking at him with a puzzled expression.

[Lord of Red Leaf City]: ? ? ?

...

"Holy crap... the City Lord of Red Leaf City? Then this must be... the City Lord's Mansion?!"

Wang Xing looked like he'd just been slapped by a teddy bear; his face was as ugly as could be.

The level of the city lord of Red Leaf City is so low that it's impossible to even see. It must be far above level 50, possibly even level 90.

If one sees through his red name, wouldn't that be like walking into a trap?

"Step back."

A deep, resonant voice rang out; it belonged to the city lord of Red Leaf City.

"yes!"

Several guards wielding broadswords left the hall and obediently stood guard at the door.

The city lord of Red Leaf City slowly walked towards Wang Xing, looking him up and down with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"Should I say you're brave, or unlucky? Given your current situation, don't you know what will happen if you show your face in front of me?"

Upon hearing the city lord's words, Wang Xing felt a chill run down his spine.

"He saw through my disguise! I'm doomed... I'm going to die here... If I die, I'll have to grind monsters in the Red Name Village! With my current sin points, it'll take me ten days to half a month..."

Seemingly sensing Wang Xing's panic, the City Lord of Red Leaf City suddenly smiled and waved his hand gently.

"Fine... I can't be bothered with you since you're not from Red Leaf City. Tell me, who are you? How did you suddenly appear here? And what brings you to my Red Leaf City? If your answers satisfy me, I can let you go. If not, I don't mind sending you wherever you need to be with a flick of my finger!"

When he said the last sentence, Wang Xing could clearly feel a killing intent coming at him, and the hairs on his body stood on end.
