Muscular Rabbits Legion: 'No one can escape from the novice village!'

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: General Takes Another Nap [5th Update]

Thud!

The carrot that the sheep had been nibbling on fell to the ground. The sheep instantly shrank into a ball and then began to tremble as it said, “The system tasked me with giving you the level 20 Evil Rabbit King reincarnation quest… You, you, you… All you have to do is defeat a level 20 BOSS. Big brother, please don’t eat me and don’t kick me anymore. I’ll leave as soon as you complete the quest and I’ll never come back.”

Realizing that no matter what he said, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself clearly, Yi Zheng didn’t bother to try.

“Ding! You have received a second-tier reincarnation quest, defeat a level 20 BOSS.”

Looking at this simple quest and thinking back to the Deceptive Beast quest he had accepted before, Yi Zheng could only think to himself, “The system is so generous!”

Having a target for his quest, Yi Zheng immediately packed up his things, then patted the sheep reassuringly, “Don’t worry, little sheep. In the future, there won’t be any rabbits kicking you. You can just continue nibbling on grass, strolling around, flirting, and enjoying the scenery here. I’ll be right back, huh…”

As Yi Zheng walked away, the sheep cautiously lifted its head only to see the rabbit whistling for a Skeleton Carriage that came speeding over, driven by a large Skeleton, with a giant zombie riding alongside!

Frightened, the sheep curled up into a ball again, shivering and muttering, “It really is the Evil Rabbit King, so diabolical… scared the sheep to death.”

On their way to find the level 20 wild monster BOSS, Zi Xing said, “Boss, I’ve got something to tell you.”

Yi Zheng said, “Go ahead, what’s up?”

Zi Xing said, “It’s really strange. Last night, I suddenly felt as if my soul had been sucked out, I felt so weak, and then just as suddenly, I was full of vigor again.”

Yi Zheng was confused, “What do you mean?”

Zi Xing said, “I don’t know if it was a dream or what, but the system told me you died and all my brothers’ attributes were halved, but then after a while, the attributes were restored. Strange, right?”

Yi Zheng was stunned; he never expected that his death would affect the entire rabbit group.

The Skeleton King said, “I felt it too, my strength was reduced by half, but recovered quickly. Do you think it was a system BUG or something?”

Yi Zheng was even more surprised to learn that his death affected not just the rabbit group, but all his subordinates!

He did not directly answer, but laughed it off, “Perhaps…”

However, deep inside, Yi Zheng felt more resolved than ever that he must never die again!

Safety first!

After leaving the Grand Canyon, Yi Zheng looked towards the direction of Vermilion Bird City. Although it was quite far, he could still see the bustling activity there.

It wasn’t that Yi Zheng had particularly good eyesight, but rather that there was simply a large number of players there, densely packed together like a dark mass.

“Spring travel rush?” Yi Zheng frowned, feeling that something was odd. He looked down at the Wild Boar and said, “Little Black, go back to the village and tell the brothers to set up more watch posts around, and to gather quickly if they spot anything unusual. If players attack, bombard them with the Flying Chickens! We should still have enough ammo left over from last time for a round of bombardment.”

Little Black was the Wild Boar perched on the Tiger, who immediately went off to deliver the message.

“Boss, the players have been terrified by us, they shouldn’t dare to trouble us again, right?” Zi Xing said in his casual manner.

Yi Zheng said, “I’m not sure about players from other places, but Huaxia players believe in the saying, ‘A gentleman’s revenge is not too late even after ten years.’ They hold grudges… Forget about them. When I return, we should get ready for step two of our plan.”

“What plan?” Zi Xing asked.

Yi Zheng smiled without saying a word, only casting a deep glance at the massive Vermilion Bird City, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

The barren mountain grew even more desolate past the Burial Mounds, gradually filling with more and more bones. At the same time, various kinds of skeletons appeared, clearly different from the Skeleton King’s minions. These skeletons wore Armor and wielded weapons; both their Armor and weapons were in much better condition than those of the Skeleton King’s minions, suggesting that they were the reanimated bodies of fallen soldiers.

These soldiers did not show any respect to the fellow skeleton that was the Skeleton King, attacking immediately upon sight with their weapons.

The Skeleton King, furious, cursed aloud as he swung his whip, knocking these minor monsters away and carving a path through them with the neighing of his Skeleton Horse.

In the distance, a huge coffin lid burst open with a bang, and a roar followed, “Who dares disturb the eternal slumber of this general?”

Then a Carrot was thrown into it…

Boom!

-HP230000!

“Uh… I’m too sleepy, this general will sleep a bit more,” said the general.

The Skeleton General, who was about to rise, lay down again, and along the way, two Skeleton Soldiers moved the coffin lid back in place before covering him with it.

“Nail it shut with two more nails! How blind can you be!” the Skeleton General scolded.

The two Skeleton Soldiers then began to thump away at the nails.

…

Yi Zheng was leveling up to reach level 20, preparing to reincarnate into a Rabbit, so he wasn’t interested in the skills of bosses around level 10 anymore. Although he could extract those skills and distribute them to his underlings, based on his past experience, by the time he reached level 21, his underlings would also level up to 21. That meant they would turn into second-tier Wild Monsters, making first-tier skills useless.

After all, the base damage of first-tier skills was only in the thousands, while second-tier skills started at ten thousand. The gap was too large.

And so, the carriage sprinted all the way, zooming past the lairs of level 10 Wild Monsters without stopping.

However, Yi Zheng also noticed that this was the territory of level 17 and 18 Wild Monsters, they were beginning to see signs of human players around.

On the road, they saw groups of players leveling from afar, with no small number of them—there were at least a hundred or more, and some groups were as large as two or three hundred!

These players gathered together, a circle of Warriors holding shields to block the Wild Monsters outside, a group of Thieves moved all around, drawing a large number of monsters, while Mages and Archers dealt rapid damage without killing them off completely, always leaving a sliver of health on the monsters.

At that moment, a Warrior charged out and slaughtered the monsters with a single strike each.

Thanks to the large number of players luring monsters, there was a continuous stream of monsters being delivered to him to kill…

Everyone cooperated incredibly well; it was clear they were all supporting one person!

“No wonder leveling is fast, with a group of three hundred people. It’s definitely not about sharing experience amongst a team. Looks like one person is hogging the experience of three hundred,” Yi Zheng suddenly realized.

Nonetheless, they did not linger here for long and continued moving forward.

Meanwhile, deeper in the barren mountain, a gigantic black Altar stood like a small hill amidst a sea of bones.

Above the Altar, a shadow hovered in midair, brandishing a Magic Wand and bellowing, “Foolish humans, you dare challenge the mighty Witch Demon King? Awaken, my servants, kill these foolish invaders!”

The Witch Demon King waved his Magic Wand, and in the next moment, countless bones beneath the Altar rose up. A dense mass of Skeleton Soldiers raised their weapons—bows, Battle Axes, Long Spears, Magic Wands—at the group of over five hundred well-equipped players charging from afar.

“Everyone, pay attention. The boss’s skills have strengthened again; it must be the third phase transition. He won’t last much longer! Coordinate and do not tangle with the minions. Charge straight in and finish him!” the Evil King bellowed.
