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

Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Reality is Cruel [First Update]

The Giant Bear stood high and slammed the turtle in its hand against the Tower Shield, and with a loud bang, the Tower Shield was sent flying.

The Giant Bear roared and charged down; the Tripwire before them might as well have been non-existent, as it simply barreled through, and the players holding the Tripwire were flung away.

At that moment, the sky turned completely dark—it was the chickens arriving. Orange carrots aimed at the ground, and accompanied by the Chicken King’s command, countless carrots fell like rain.

Seeing this, Wang Mingchen shouted, “Madman, something’s not right! These Rabbits’ Attributes are too high; they’re slaughtering us as if we were Tan Country players, as if their Attributes haven’t been reduced!”

At these words, a chill rose in everyone’s hearts.

Madman barked, “What do you mean?”

Wang Mingchen replied, “Either the system has fooled us, or something has happened that we don’t know about. In any case, the Rabbits retain their strength, they haven’t changed, and their BOSS is probably still alive!”

At this, everyone’s faces turned incredibly grim. If the Rabbits’ Attributes had been reduced by fifty percent, and they were leaderless, they truly had the capability to massacre Newbie Village.

But, conversely, if the Rabbits’ Attributes remained, if their BOSS’s Level hasn’t been reset…

The consequences!

“Retreat, retreat!” Madman called loudly for a retreat.

The army immediately turned, but it was too late.

Boom, boom, boom…

Countless carrots hit the ground, a Carrot Cloud rose, and numerous players were instantly killed! Among these players, most were Level 10 Reincarnation Players, who were just too frail against the Rabbits.

Even elites like the Monk, who couldn’t withstand losing over sixty thousand Blood Volume to a single carrot explosion, frantically drank life-saving Potions to survive the barrage.

In the midst of the dust cloud, the Monk rubbed his eyes, straining to look around, only to see corpses everywhere, and cries of pain filled the air…

Only those players with exceptional Equipment and those who were still far off and hadn’t entered the bombardment radius remained alive.

Even so, they were frantically consuming Potions…

“Monk, Monk! How the hell do we fight this?” Little Beast cried out from a distance.

They had played the game for so long, but they had never been a part of such a terrifying battle.

Even though no rivers of blood were flowing due to the game’s realism settings, the sight of scattered limbs and bodies still made those who had never been tempered by war shudder.

Especially, the stark contrast between the sight of an army of hundreds of thousands one moment, and the field of corpses the next, as well as the immense pressure from the vast number of Rabbits and the Flying Chickens circling the sky, were enough to make them feel close to collapse.

But an even more terrifying scene unfolded.

The Rabbits in front of them suddenly let out a low growl, and then their muscles began to bulge. Although their stature did not increase further, the aura they emitted was clearly more terrifying!

“What… what is happening?” All the players were close to madness; the Rabbits were already horrifying enough, and now they seemed to be even stronger!

Wang Mingchen said, “I remember now, last time they attacked Tan Country Village, they also grew stronger midway. Could it be that killing players also allows them to upgrade? Or perhaps it boosts their attributes?”

Hearing this speculation, all the players took in a breath of cold air, suddenly realizing why these rabbits were becoming increasingly powerful. Although many aspects were still unclear, such as the fact that even though the rabbits had killed many, the average number of kills per rabbit was not high. The Experience Value gained should not have been enough to support their upgrades. Moreover, all the rabbits, chickens, snakes, groundhogs, wild boars, and such seemed to grow stronger at the same time.

It appeared as though their strength was tied together.

Just then, Chen Chuanwen said, “I’ve got it! The system has informed us before that when a Newbie Village BOSS dies, its Level is reset to zero and the attributes of all its subordinate Wild Monsters are cut in half. Conversely, if the BOSS of Newbie Village grows stronger, then its subordinate Wild Monsters will also grow stronger!”

This theory was immediately accepted by everyone, and then they realized something very ominous—the rabbits were stronger, and that meant the BOSS seemed to have returned!

They were right. After a barrage, Yi Zheng smoothly upgraded to Level 21.

“Ding! Since you have entered the ranks of second-tier BOSSes, all Wild Monster subordinates in your territory will initiate evolution, evolving towards—21-Level War Merchant! All attributes increased by fifty percent, each Attribute gaining an additional 2 points upon upgrade, and an extra 10 Free Attribute Points. They cannot use human players’ Equipment but can use players’ Potions.

War Merchant: A rabbit born for battle, with stronger Combat Power the lower their Blood Volume, and twice the attributes when Blood Volume hits zero, with five seconds of undying.”

“Well done, I’m the Demon summoning hordes of minions with three-handed sacrifices, and they are War Merchants, not a single good rabbit among them! But they are really strong!” Yi Zheng was astounded by the rabbits’ attributes.

And what about the players in front of them?

“Retreat, retreat! Run for it!” The Madman roared.

The players began to fall back, running away.

Seeing this, Yi Zheng smirked viciously, “Running? After them!”

Yi Zheng hopped onto Zi Xing’s head flailing a small hand, and like a breach in a dam, the rabbits tumbled down the hillside en masse. The Heavy Cavalry finally reunited, raging Wild Boars howled, and rabbits with little trees on their backs knocked players into the sky, who then fell hard to the ground, before being ruthlessly trampled to death by large rabbits jumping on their backs.

Stationed on his unique chariot, Yi Zheng took out a skull with two holes poked out from the top and placed it on his head; his black robe fluttering in the wind, at the same time, he raised his hand and used the Spider Silk Weaving skill to write two big characters on himself, “I Rabbit!”

In theory, wearing a white human skull on one’s head should be creepy and macabre, but this guy didn’t give that impression. Instead, with his small stature, chubby body, and large eyes, he seemed fluffy and cute.

“BOSS, their BOSS is over there!” Yue Wei spotted Yi Zheng and shouted.

Everyone turned to look, just in time to see the “I Rabbit” on Yi Zheng’s chest.

As Yi Zheng felt their gaze, he arrogantly looked up, turned around, and displayed two more large characters on his back—”Awesome!”

In an instant, all the cuteness morphed into one word—”Despicable!”

“Shit! This rabbit is too damn arrogant; I can’t stand it anymore. I’m going all out!” Yue Wei’s explosive temper flared, and he charged forward, brandishing his weapon ready to tackle Yi Zheng.

The outraged elite players were also furious. They had encountered various Wild Monster BOSSes on their journey to level up, but none were as brazen as this one! What’s more, they had been in contact with members of the Big Guilds, bragging endlessly, yet after one fight they had taken quite a beating!

If they couldn’t defeat the bigger rabbits or the carrot-throwing chickens, were they also unable to beat a single Little Rabbit?
