In the Respawn Zone, Fu Moyan immediately went to check his bag first.
The moment he looked, his expression instantly fell.
“Nothing? Why is there nothing?!” Fu Moyan looked through his bag very carefully several times, and his eyes finally rested on that empty field as he went into a daze.
He had worked so hard.
He had spent so much energy and money.
He had finally completed that secret mission and received a bronze token.
And it was gone just like that.
ARGH! It hurt!
Fu Moyan suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and he felt like he almost couldn’t breathe.
If he could bring that bronze token to another secret section of the game, there might be many other fantastic opportunities inside.
He wanted to increase his level, then get his team together and get through that secret section.
But what never crossed his mind was that before he could even get to use this bronze token, the token would just disappear.
After he finally thought about this, Fu Moyan immediately used his points to respawn and ran towards the place where he had perished.
It was true that the item had vanished when he got killed.
But as long as nobody saw it, then it might still be lying where he last was.
So what he had to do now was to quickly return to the same place before anyone else did and pick up that bronze token again.
As for whether such an item would be taken away by the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain or not, Fu Moyan wasn’t worried about this at all.
The other party was just a Boss in the game, and there was no such thing as a game character picking up items left behind by players.
And he was confident of this because this wasn’t the first time a Boss had killed Fu Moyan. He had experienced this before.
However, after Fu Moyan searched the field more than ten times and found nothing, his expression darkened.
“It’s gone. Why is it gone? Could a player have picked it up before I came back here?”
He tried to think of all possibilities but only arrived at this conclusion.
With this thought, Fu Moyan’s heart sank.
According to this guess, this bronze token place could lead to was definitely filled with many treasures.
If it fell into the hands of another player, then he would have worked so hard just to benefit someone else.
Wait a minute!
That was...that was a Mountain Bandit!
Before Fu Moyan could unleash his fury, he saw some figures appear in the distance.
That familiar outfit.
Fu Moyan would never forget what they looked like until the day he died.
“The Liangshan Stronghold Mountain Bandits are here again? What is this Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain trying to do?!” Fu Moyan frowned deeply as he watched the Mountain Bandits appearing increase in numbers. After just a short moment of hesitation, he chose to leave.
It wasn’t that he really wanted to leave.
But he really had no other choice.
He used to be a high-level player at Martial Entry-Level Five, but after he got killed at Mount Mingai, his level dropped to Martial Entry-Level Four.
Before he could make up for that loss, he got killed again after they tried to ambush Qin Shujian here. contemporary romance
Within a short time, he had died twice in a row.
His level had gone from Martial Entry-Level Five right back to Martial Entry-Level Three just like that.
Those Mountain Bandits were definitely more powerful than the Mountain Thieves he ran into before this, so at Martial Entry-Level Three, Fu Moyan had no confidence to fight them at all.
Fu Moyan chose to leave.
The other players who were within the same area had also noticed the appearance of the Mountain Bandits.
They all chose to retreat too.
But while the players discovered the Mountain Bandits, the Mountain Bandits had also found them.
One side was running like crazy; the other side was chasing them down like crazy.
This caused many players who couldn’t run away in time to die at those Mountain Bandits’ hands.
Back at the Starter Village’s Respawn Zone, white flashes of light appeared continuously.
Players began to appear from these white flashes of light.
“What is going on? Are those Mountain Bandits nuts? I was fighting a monster, and they came to kill me anyway!”
“It’s those Liangshan Mountain Bandits again! F*ck these idiots!”
The Respawn menu was filled with the cursing and swearing of a huge group of players.
Nobody was happy to be killed, after all.
In no time, the Liangshan Stronghold Mountain Bandits’ news going on another player massacre spread once more.
The players in Starter Village #23012 now knew that there was a considerable number of Liangshan Mountain Bandits wandering around outside their starter village who would kill any players they ran into.
...
All of these wandering Mountain Bandits were at least at Martial Entry-Level Two.
There were even some Level Threes and Level Fours among them, and someone even ran into a Level Five Boss.
There was also news that someone had run into a Martial Entry-Level Six Mountain Bandit Boss.
In the short span of just one day, news about the Liangshan Mountain Bandits had become the hottest topic, and all the other players started paying attention to this.
“It’s very obvious. The Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain is trying to use the same method he used on Starter Village #10021 on us. This is just the beginning, and I think it won’t take too long before the Mountain Bandits start launching a major attack.”
In a luxurious courtyard, Liu Qinghong had a grim expression on his face as he said, “You’ve all seen what the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain is capable of. If the Mountain Bandits are going to attack us, we might not be able to hold up against him even with the help of the NPCs in our starter village.”
Within this same courtyard, Fu Moyan, Li Zongwen, Yang Yue, and the rest of the top ten fighters of this village and leaders of various factions were all gathered together here.
They had failed to kill the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain, and everyone had suffered significant losses.
This was supposed to be the time they took to recuperate from their losses quietly.
But now that the Liangshan Mountain Bandits were going around massacring the players, they had increased the level of danger in the wild tremendously, and they were clearly doing this to target the starter village. All of them had no choice but to think about how they should deal with this situation.
“The most powerful player among us should only be at Martial Entry-Level Five now. As for what happens to a Martial Entry-Level Five if he meets the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain, well, I’m sure all of you know.”
...
“If the Mountain Bandits launch a major attack, then the only people we can count on are these starter village NPCs.”
Li Zongwen’s expression was stern as his fingers tapped lightly against the top of the table.
“According to our observations during this time, the head of the training hall should be a Martial Entry-Level Six or a Martial Entry-Level Seven. The Village Chief should be at an even higher level than that.”
“But they might not be a match for the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain still.”
“If these NPCs can’t hold up against the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain either, then I’m afraid we’re going to follow the footsteps of Starter Village #10021.”
“Alright now. Everyone here knows how dangerous the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain is. We don’t need you to tell us about it all over again. What we need to do now is to think of a way to solve this problem.”
Yang Yue immediately cut Li Zongwen off and went straight to the points.
When this happened, Li Zongwen didn’t get angry either.
Xing Jia frowned and said, “If we want to deal with the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain, then we have no choice but to get help from outside. If we go with whatever our village has, we’ll probably have a 90% chance of failing again.”
“That number’s too high, and we really can’t afford to lose like that.”
“Help from outside?”
“As far as I understand, each area has one starter village. Our Starter Village #23012 is the only one in Messy Stone Forest, so there are probably many other players outside of Messy Stone Forest.”
“If we can ask them for help, we might be able to get through the crisis we have right now.”
Liu Qinghong shook his head and said, “If you want to get other starter villages to help, we might have to pay quite a high price, and they might not be willing to take such a risk either.”
“We’re all players, so as long as it’s beneficial to them, they’ll do it. It’s now a matter of whether everyone here is willing to ask them for help.”
Xing Jia disagreed with Liu Qinghong and immediately argued back.
After that., everyone in the courtyard started discussing this matter very aggressively.
Only Fu Moyan sat where he was without saying anything as his gaze secretly scanned the other players.
