Chapter 98: The Elites

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Just as Jiang Bai was headed towards Crystal City, over a dozen escort teams appeared from the various subsidiary cities of the Abu Haier Kingdom.

The team’s momentum was massive. After exiting the city gates, they headed straight for Moonlight City.

The players wore excited expressions. They were looking forward to obtaining large amounts of gold coins and platinum equipment after completing the escort mission.

Side quests like this were simply benefits.

In one of the teams, there were a total of fifty people, and more than half of them were from the Xilong Guild.

The leading player’s ID was ‘Singer Qiqi’, and he was an elite member of the Xilong Guild.

He chose a class related to sound, and in the early stages, he was given a flute. In the later stages, he could become a pipa mage, a piano magician…

A profession like this required players to have a certain level of talent in real life. Otherwise, it would be difficult to master exclusive skills.

For Sing Qiqi, the reason he chose this profession was because he had talent in singing in real life. However, he was frequently defeated in the talent show.

The audience only had one comment about his voice, which was that he had too many high notes. Hearing it made people feel very uncomfortable.

However, in the world of Sword and Magic, a person like him, who often played high notes, had an advantage. He could choose to play the offensive magic sound mage class. That way, he could maximize his strength in reality.

At this moment, the singers were leading a small team from the Xilong Guild. There were a total of ten people.

Beside them were two other elite members. They each led ten people and formed two teams.

The players at the back pointed at the players from the Xilong Guild in front of them from time to time and discussed in low voices.

“The Xilong Guild is already the second guild, yet they actually came here to snatch food from us. They even ostracized us…”

“We’re really unlucky. Not only are we doing the hardest work, but we’re also receiving the same rewards. Look at the 30 players in front of us. They don’t have to do anything. They’re just talking about everything. It’s infuriating.”

“We shouldn’t suffer like this, should we? So what if they have more players? It’s not like we can’t defeat them!”

“Why don’t we join forces and kill these members of Xilong Guild? If that happens, we might be able to obtain two platinum equipment as the reward for the escort mission!”

“Your suggestion has convinced me. Let’s do it then.”

“Brothers, count me in as well. Let’s fight it out with them!”

After a discussion, the 20 players in the escort team came to a unanimous opinion.

They shouldn’t let the members of the Xilong Guild act so leisurely. They could also take the rewards of the escort mission for free.

Following which, they decided on a plan of action. The 20 of them would work together to take down the members of the Xilong Guild.

Since the other side had 30 members and had the numerical advantage, it would be best to act in secret.

However…

Just as they were about to make their move, they saw their escort team meet with the escort team from Amber City.

The escort team was moving in a grand manner. As they moved forward, they were chatting happily.

“Don’t you think it’s strange? When I came over, I saw a ruin. Apparently, it was destroyed by a demonic beast not long ago. However, the kingdom’s guards actually said that there were no demonic beasts nearby that would attack us!”

“That’s true. When I saw that ruin just now, I felt suffocated. That demonic beast was at least a hundred meters tall!”

“That’s right! That demonic beast was too terrifying. It swept the entire area into the ground like a whirlpool. The scene was extremely shocking…”

“Huh! Why are we meeting up with the other escort teams? It seems like the escort mission didn’t say that players can not fight each other. Doesn’t that mean that we can snatch their goods?”

The members of that team were like bandits as they stared at the goods that the Xilong Guild’s team was escorting.

As they were speaking, they saw the people at the back of the team walk out.

“Cloud Dynasty Guild!”

Someone in the crowd suddenly cried out in surprise as they looked at the guild names above those people’s heads.

No one had expected that the two of the top three guilds would meet up this time.

One was the Xilong Guild, and the other was the Cloud Dynasty Guild.

When the members of the Cloud Dynasty Guild saw all the singers, they shook their heads and said, “Who do you think it is?”

“Let’s Go…”

“Don’t snatch the goods that the Xilong Guild is transporting!”

After the leader finished speaking, he walked forward.

When he said this, the group of bandit-like players immediately restrained their expressions.

After all, their boss had already spoken. They couldn’t possibly still be thinking about the things that belonged to the Xilong Guild, right?

After the Cloud Dynasty Guild’s team left, the singer said with puzzlement,

“You should have heard it just now, right?”

“The appearance of demonic beasts?”

“And they even caused the ground to become a Whirlpool?”

“Could it be that something big is going to happen next?”

As soon as he finished speaking.

The two elite members beside him slowly shook their heads.

“Why do we care about such things?”

“The next task is to get platinum equipment!”

“And also…”

As they were speaking.

The elite members felt that such things should not be too high-profile, so they approached the singer and lowered their voices.

“The guild leader said that we should kill the other players in the party so that we can get more rewards.”

“Right! I remember that the guild leader did mention this matter!”

“Then should we take action now? We have 30 people anyway. We’re not afraid of them!”

Just as the elite members were speaking, a wolf howl suddenly came from behind them.

“Ah…”

“Help!”

“Singer Qiqi! Save Me!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

Singer Qiqi turned around abruptly and lowered his head. He saw a member of the Xilong Guild who had been attacked. A bloody hole appeared on his body and he fell to the ground.

“What!”

“How dare you attack my people!”

Singer Qiqi revealed a furious expression.

As he spoke, he held the flute tightly in his hand. The ripples of his singing were dancing on the surface of the flute, as if it could unleash terrifying power at any time.

At this moment, the other two elite members behind him also stood up.

“Are you people trying to cause trouble?”

“You’re courting death! You’re even going to kill our people!”

“You’re finished!”

Facing the threat of the elite members of Western Lone Guild, a player stood up. His left hand had been modified into a weapon that could emit laser bombardment.

That weapon was even more powerful than a laser gun. Moreover, it had a wide range of damage.

The member of the Xilong Guild had been attacked by such a weapon just now. A bloody hole had appeared on his body.

“Members of the Xilong Guild!”

“It’s not that easy to get free rewards!”

“I’m going to kill all of you right now!”

The player stepped forward. As he spoke, he raised a laser weapon that could penetrate a player’s defense.

“I didn’t expect it to be a modified class…”

The singer looked coldly at the laser weapon that was modified from his left hand.

The two elite members beside him could no longer suppress the anger in their hearts and hurriedly said,

“Do it. These people are obviously trying to kill us and take two rewards for themselves!”

“Their thoughts are exactly the same as ours!”

“God damn it. I didn’t expect them to take the initiative to Take Action!”

As soon as he finished his sentence.

The singers suddenly pressed their flute together. “Then let’s do it!”

Then, they saw him blow his flute and launch an attack.

The group of people in front couldn’t understand what kind of skill this was.

However, they knew that there were thousands of classes in the sword and magic world. The opponent should have chosen a class related to sound.

“Hahaha, you still want to attack us with sound?”

“You must be joking!”

The players immediately revealed disdainful laughter.

In their opinion, sound was the weakest existence. There was no way to cause any damage at all.

“Demonic Flute Lv 4”

“Description: The Sound of the flute will form a black note that will surround the player and cause magic damage. It also has a 100% chance to stun the player for one minute.”

“What?”

“Demonic Flute”
