Chapter 56 - Again (1/2)
Deceased Soul – Wandering Miner Leader
Fatty happily put the soul spark into his inventory, then started to pick up the other drops.
However, the Miner Leader was clearly a poor person. It didn’t drop anything really good. The only worthwhile thing it dropped was the extra large pickaxe it was using. Fatty used Appraisal a few times, then saw its stats.

Pickaxe (Two-Handed)

Ahh, this silver weapon’s good stuff. I can’t let Liu Lan see this. Fatty put the Violent Pickaxe into his bag sneakily.
Since he now had a useable soul spark, Fatty began to prepare to kill the Demonized Bat King. It was clear that the boss monster couldn’t use that sort of overpowered skill continuously, so that means he would be fine as long as he lasted one round.
Fatty put everything away and started to light up the torches in the Bat Cave. Then after one day, he finally lit all 999 torches again.
Man, this Bat Cave is truly insane. The cave is filled with monsters again in just two days.
When he gathered the five major guilds once more, they didn’t only bring 500 people. Instead, they actually brought over a thousand each. What’s more, TheFugitive and the God Familia also hurried over, but they were just here for the fun.
“You don’t need this many people, do you?” Fatty asked.
“Only 200 from each guild is entering the cave. The others are here for after the mission,” Fierce Dragon TheTalent smiled.
Fatty immediately understood.
Ever since they were all wiped out in their previous attempt, there were already rumors about how the Demonized Bat King is a god-tier boss. There were also rumors about how this was a hidden mission and there were god-tier rewards linked to completing it. Basically, all sorts of rumors flew around. What’s more, since the five major guilds gathered once again, and this time with even more people, a lot of players decided to tail them, and some guilds comparable to the five major guilds even led their own guild members over too.
“Wow, so many people?” Fatty was shocked when he saw over tens of thousands of people tailing him.
“This is nothing. There’ll be even more people if they know what happens after completing the mission,” Fierce Dragon TheTalent laughed coldly. “We need more people over here. The people we have here won’t be able to stop their attacks.”
“We’ll each get 1000 more over here, to get 10000 more people blocking outside,” East Gate BlowingWind agreed, then immediately took out his communicator to give orders.
With such a huge number of players moving around, everything was bound to get noticed. Now, even the players from the other main cities were interested, as they all asked their friends in Black Tortoise City about what was going on.
Aside from Fatty and the guild masters, the others only knew that they needed to kill a Demonized Bat King to complete the mission. They didn’t know what the exact mission rewards were. So, they were only guessing randomly, and wanted to gain some benefits.
“Ice Rose Alliance, Ten Li Citadel, General Valley, Eagle Fortress, Black Wind Stronghold… There are over a dozen guilds tailing us,” Wind God’s World took a look, then spoke with a serious expression.
“Go on, go on. We’ll return back to town together. It’ll definitely be even more of a scene than before,” Jiangdong’s LittleOverlord laughed menacingly after taking a look of the players following them.
When they finally arrived at the entrance to the Bat Cave, there weren’t any players mining at the entrance, perhaps due to hearing about the actions of the guilds.
“Each guild send out 1000 people to stand guard at the entrance and backup the ones coming. We’ll seal the entrance after Brother Grubber completes his mission. For now, let’s go as planned as leading 200 people in each, and let those people follow us,” Fierce Dragon TheTalent whispered.
The various guild masters smiled mischievously, then each ordered 1000 people to be stationed outside, while 200 people from each of the five major guilds entered the cave behind Fatty.
The guild masters tailing them felt a bit hesitant when they saw that the five major guilds only led a few hundred people in, while leaving their main forces outside. Meanwhile, the Ice Rose Alliance, who had already suffered losses once, only led 500 people in, and left several hundred people outside.
The only reason Ice Witch even led 500 people in was just in case the five major guild suddenly turned around and killed her. Otherwise, she really would rather go alone.
When the guild masters on the outside saw the Ice Rose Alliance leave the majority of their forces outside as well, they followed suit, and only led a few hundred people in each.
“Tsk, so crafty, they left the majority of their troops outside as well,” Xu Quan cursed when he heard the report from his troops stationed outside. Although Liu Lan was the true guild master of Misty Waterfall, Xu Quan was the one who managed it more, because Liu Lan’s main concern was still her job in real life.
The truth was that the five guild masters didn’t want to enter the cave either, because entering might mean that they will lose a level again. Nobody wanted to die when they farmed experience points with such difficulty. However they couldn’t help but do so for the future of their guilds.
“Guys, I feel like we should decide on our future turfs along the way as well,” Wind God’s World suddenly said after walking a while.
“Indeed,” the other guild masters agreed. They all sent out rogues to look around, and when they reached the final mining pit, they already received their scout’s report.
