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

Chapter 144: Chapter 144 Another Beta Tester [Third Update]

“`

The intense heat of the flames scorched his face, and the overwhelming barbaric force caused his eyes to roll back as his mind buzzed with noise!

Before the Witch Demon King could comprehend what this thing was, he watched in horror as the rabbit pulled out a carrot and stuffed it inside his robe.

Remembering the explosive power of the carrot from before, the Witch Demon King, scared out of his wits, let out a howl that brought him to a much clearer state of mind and, like a man possessed, he started to shake wildly, shouting, “Damn it, damn it, damn it…”

At that moment, he actually snapped out of his frenzied state!

With his small hands, he frantically patted himself down, trying to shake the carrot out of his robe.

He succeeded, and a dozen carrots fell at his feet, followed by a series of booming explosions?

In an instant, he was engulfed by clouds of carrot, his body blasted into countless pieces that filled the sky.

In the darkness, the Witch Demon King let out a mournful cry to the heavens: “In all my life, I have never been defeated, only to be killed by a carrot… Can someone tell me, what exactly was that thing?”

Alas, the system didn’t answer him.

When the Witch Demon King died, the Undead Army crumbled into piles of withered bones, motionless.

Evil Extraction!

Five skill pearls flew out, each shining brightly and exceedingly eye-catching.

Yi Zheng first claimed the most familiar Identification Skill and then turned his attention to the remaining four skills.

Yi Zheng was quite satisfied with all four skills being Grade A. Especially the Skeleton Transformation, it might seem that the attack power wasn’t high, but don’t forget, this was a normal attack accompanied by magic damage. Once the attack speed was increased, a mere touch from Yi Zheng would result in hundreds of thousands of damage! Who could withstand that?

However, what he was looking forward to the most wasn’t this, but the Hidden Profession Reincarnation Scroll in his hand. Therefore, he wasn’t in the mood to study these skills closely. He simply tucked them away and immediately jumped onto Zi Xing’s head, then waved his hand, “Let’s go home!”

The distance from here to Newbie Village Number 1 was almost more than a day’s journey, and going back and forth would take more than two days.

Just as Yi Zheng got back to Newbie Village Number 1, the players in Vermilion Bird City had finally completed their grand assembly!

Ever since the word spread that the Rabbit BOSS had been taken down, more and more players came to sign up for the slaughter of Newbie Village and to prove themselves by killing rabbits. Most of them were players who had just reached Level 10 and undergone reincarnation, but a large number were also beta testers who had previously suffered at the hands of the Rabbit and were now gritting their teeth, glaring in the direction of Newbie Village Number 1, as if they couldn’t wait to start the killing.

Yet within the huge crowd, some people stood out as quite different!

These people were calm and stood on the side with their arms folded, forming their own group, which the other players did not dare approach.

The reason was simply that these people’s equipment was too luxurious!

The worst amongst them were all equipped with Top Grade gear, and some even possessed several pieces of Legendary Equipment.

Most importantly, all these people had very high levels!

Chen Hao asked, “Chen Hao, what’s with those people? Aren’t their levels too high?” the fatty inquired.

Chen Hao glanced over and replied, “Oh, those people. They are beta testers.”

“Beta testers?” the fatty looked towards some familiar faces in the distance, who were making a ruckus.

Chen Hao said, “Don’t look anymore. These people aren’t like our familiar friends. They have been a small group ever since they entered the game, and they don’t move with the large guilds. They might level up slower at the start but they perfectly missed the battle when Madman and others attacked Newbie Village Number 1.

So while Madman was in the dungeons, they were out there leveling up.

These are leveling madmen; even during the last Catastrophe Level BOSS Slaughter City, they didn’t bother returning for the spectacle, which is how they also avoided that disaster.

Some say they were so focused on leveling that they didn’t even know about that event…

In any case, because they’ve been grinding non-stop, their levels are quite high. The lowest amongst them is Level 18.”

“That’s not very fast though,” the fatty remarked. “I heard that Madman and the others are already Level 19.”

Chen Hao shook his head, “How can a small group compare to a big guild? Madman’s group is hundreds of people supporting one person; once one person reaches a high level, they can lead the others to fight monsters above their levels. Then they form a small team to hunt BOSSes and go back to split the equipment. With better equipment, they continue fighting monsters above their level—a vicious cycle that’s frighteningly efficient.

That’s just the beta testers. I don’t even need to mention the alpha testers.

Our attributes allow us to fight monsters several levels higher, so even small groups are not slower than them.

It’s just that these people are taking advantage of the temporal lead, acquiring lots of first kills on BOSSes and Elite Monsters, so their equipment is generally better. But we are catching up, and they won’t necessarily be so glorious in the future.”

The fatty nodded, “That’s true. Once everyone is Level 20 and we can fight monsters above our level, they will have to follow the procedure, and even if they can also fight higher-level monsters, the gap between us will grow once we catch up in levels and equipment. But for now, they all seem so arrogant.”

Chen Hao sighed, “Can’t help it. They are, after all, far ahead of ninety-nine percent of the players, they have the capital to be proud.”

While they were chatting, those proud players were also whispering to each other.

“Monk, why do we have to join in this event? Didn’t we always avoid it before? A bunch of rabbits, what’s the point in killing them?” asked a man with a somewhat effeminate voice.

“Little Beast, it’s different this time. We absolutely have to come,” the Monk, a middle-aged man, appeared proud on the surface, but his eyes were filled with deep worry.

A girl nearby spoke up, “Boss Monk, what are you worried about? As long as we steadily level up, can’t we stay ahead all the way?”
