CHAPTER 255: CHAPTER 236: ENCOUNTERING A FAN...

In the guild channel of Proud Sanctuary.

Lord (Guild President): "Everyone move west, meet and protect Feng Hua. Be careful during the operation, don’t let anyone notice anything unusual."

Apart from Proud Sanctuary, Ice and Snow Illusion City, Heavenly Dao Alliance, and Qingyi Pavilion all issued the same orders in their guild channels.

On the vast snowy field in front of the Ice Tunnel, hundreds of thousands of players were gathered in groups of three to five, discussing why the Boss didn’t drop equipment.

During this period, although some people chose to leave, it didn’t really affect the overall scenario.

The total number of people from these four guilds was less than ten thousand, making them seem insignificant under the massive crowd of hundreds of thousands.

Even though the four guilds had minimized their noise as much as possible when leaving.

However, they still caught some people’s attention:

"Look, where are those people going?"

"So many people, there must be something going on!"

The players who originally guarded around the Ice Tunnel were now intentionally or unintentionally moving west along the mountain walls.

If it were just a few people, dozens, or even hundreds, it might not attract much attention.

But when the number reached thousands, some sharp players sensed something unusual:

"Let’s go and see what’s happening."

Some were puzzled:

"Could they be from those few guilds?"

At this moment, everyone here was wearing Disguiser Masks.

So, from appearances alone, no one could recognize who was who, which was perfectly normal.

But some people, based on the uniformity of their actions, guessed:

"There’s a ninety percent chance these are guild members."

Their departure quickly drew the attention of small groups and then all surrounding players.

Especially seeing these people walking westward into the empty, hazy snowstorm was peculiar no matter how you looked at it.

Suddenly someone in the World channel said:

[World] Treasure Hunting Genius: "Feng Hua spotted in the western snowfield, along with their Mercenary Corps; everyone, be careful!"

Once this message got out, the crowd stirred instantly,

"It’s really Feng Hua, is he planning to storm through?"

Considering the previous actions of the major guilds, this message could almost be confirmed.

Especially as someone spotted Feng Hua’s Elf Dragon faintly visible in the snowstorm.

"A Thief brother of mine discovered Feng Hua moving towards us; let’s block him on his way, we can’t let him get close here."

"Proud Sanctuary and Qingyi Pavilion have already joined Feng Hua; it looks like they’re gearing up for a fight."

"Are you sure it’s Feng Hua? Don’t fall for his trick to draw us away!"

"There may be a fake Feng Hua, but his Elf Dragon can’t be fake, right?"

The Elf Dragon, as Feng Hua’s mount, is a significant symbol associated with Feng Hua.

According to the game’s settings, combat pets (mounts) cannot be more than a hundred meters away from their owner.

When people doubted whether Feng Hua was among them, the massive body of the Elf Dragon overhead already provided a clear answer.

...

For a while, various messages were being spread crazily among the crowd.

At this moment, some people were slowly moving towards the western snowfield to investigate.

At the same time, everyone agreed on one thing: Feng Hua must not be allowed near the Ice Tunnel.

Otherwise, with the combat power of the major guilds plus Feng Hua’s unpredictable strength, there’s a real possibility he could break through.

If Feng Hua enters the Ice Tunnel, then no outcome could be reversed.

"Feng Hua, it really is Feng Hua!"

In front of everyone appeared the defense circle formed by the four major guilds: Proud Sanctuary, Ice and Snow Illusion City, and others.

Although the view of the defense circle’s center was obscured by a sea of heads, the gigantic and striking Elf Dragon flying in mid-air was undeniable.

Accompanying the Elf Dragon were members of the Creation Mercenary Corps riding Nightmares and Bai Ze, appearing formidable and imposing.

Yet even so, as more players kept flocking to this side,

From an aerial view, Lin Yi’s side was like a grain of rice on the snowfield, gradually surrounded by ants upon hearing the news, appearing helpless and insignificant.

Seeing more people moving towards the western snowfield, Fu Chen asked from the side:

"Should we follow them?"

Divine Hall Yingying stood in place, frowning:

"It doesn’t make sense; why did he choose to appear now?"

Fu Chen was taken aback, then said:

"Perhaps he thinks dragging it out won’t change anything, so he plans to take a gamble?"

Divine Hall Yingying slowly shook her head, still puzzled:

"In this manner, unless he can become invincible, he’s bound to die; there’s no second outcome."

Divine Hall Yingying looked up at Fu Chen:

"Do you think someone with Feng Hua’s mind wouldn’t realize this?"

Fu Chen was stunned and also fell into deep thought, after a while said:

"But the fact is, no matter what method he adopts, he can’t possibly break through the defensive circle laid by hundreds of thousands of players here; perhaps he’s already chosen to give up?"

Divine Hall Yingying looked west:

"Are you sure that’s really Feng Hua?"

Fu Chen confidently replied:

"I’m sure."

Based on information relayed from his guild members at the front, Fu Chen stated:

"Unless there’s a second person in this game with an Elf Dragon, that Feng Hua must be among the crowd."

Divine Hall Yingying asked one last question:

"Then I want to know, where are Drunkard and the others? Why haven’t we seen them yet?"

Fu Chen paused:

"I’m not sure, perhaps they are currently blending in the crowd preparing to assist Feng Hua."

Divine Hall Yingying looked up at the players around the Ice Tunnel entrance, knowing without a doubt that those staying to guard the entrance must be from guilds.

Although Divine Hall Yingying had her suspicions, she couldn’t pinpoint anything amiss for the moment.

"Let’s go take a look, but you should still leave a team here to guard against any unforeseen changes."

Fu Chen nodded and said:

"Alright!"

In fact, not all players chose to leave at this moment, and there were still some staying put.

At the same time, on the other side, the surrounding crowd was growing larger, but oddly, they didn’t make a move immediately.

Amidst the noisy crowd, someone suddenly shouted loudly from the back:

"Is Feng Hua really in there?"

Being in the wilderness, the system hadn’t enabled the separation of channels, so with such a large gathering, those at the back couldn’t see anything.

Looking over, it was all people, let alone seeing Feng Hua standing at the center of the circle.

The players at the back could only judge the position of Feng Hua through the Elf Dragon in the sky.

Watching the gathering players, those acting as the first line of defense were fully alert.

At this moment, members of Proud Sanctuary, Qingyi Pavilion, Ice and Snow Illusion City, and Heavenly Dao Alliance had all removed their Disguiser Masks to show their true faces, to avoid friendly fire.

This time, Lin Yi’s defense task was handled by these four guilds.

As for why it wasn’t the stronger Shengshi and Luoshen taking charge, everyone assumed that Shengshi’s task was to wait in the Ice Tunnel for support.

From the moment they received this task, the players of Proud Sanctuary were ready to lay down their lives.

Everyone wore a determined expression, staring at the fierce players opposite.

Another exhausting defensive battle was about to erupt.

Suddenly, a player peered through the defensive circle built by Proud Sanctuary and others and looked at Lin Yi in the center, then shouted loudly:

"Feng Hua, our entire guild are your devoted fans. You must climb to the top of the Endless Tower for the glory of Hua Country. Go for it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence.

Not only the Proud Sanctuary folks, but even the players around him turned their gaze to this player wearing a Disguiser Mask.

In such a solemn setting, fan admiration suddenly felt out of place.

Even Lin Yi was taken aback in surprise.

Suddenly, the players from Proud Sanctuary, Qingyi Pavilion, Heavenly Dao Alliance, and Ice and Snow Illusion City blocking between him and the fan tacitly stepped aside, allowing Lin Yi a clear view of the admirer.

Seeing the other person wearing a Disguiser Mask, Lin Yi couldn’t help but laugh and said:

"Thanks for the trust, I’ll do my best to get to the top."

This player didn’t mind the odd looks from those around him, and seeing Feng Hua actually talked back, he suddenly became ecstatic:

"Feng Hua spoke to me, did you see that? Feng Hua actually spoke to me, hahaha..."

Those around were speechless at his seemingly crazed reaction.

Lin Yi chuckled and didn’t mind too much.

But just then...

The player, after laughing, unexpectedly took off his Disguiser Mask in public, revealing his true face.

Hall of Fame Dragon Soul Lv24

Guild President

The surrounding people roared in surprise upon seeing his true face.

"It’s him!"

"This guy is the guild president of Hall of Fame, oh my."

"I thought the voice sounded familiar, didn’t expect it to be him."

Someone couldn’t help but wonder:

"Why take off the mask now?"

"Who knows."

Hall of Fame is the name of a guild.

And this Hall of Fame is not a Famous Clan.

However, there are significant similarities between the two.

Both guilds were initially established by a group of wealthy young masters.

It’s just that Famous Clan holds a higher status than Hall of Fame.

But even so, Hall of Fame is currently ranked 19th on the guild power list.

For the countless guilds in the Hua Country District, ranking 19th is considered quite strong and notable.

While everyone was speculating about his intentions, Hall of Fame Dragon Soul suddenly took off his Disguiser Mask and called out loudly:

"Where are my Hall of Fame brothers?"

Suddenly, voices echoed continuously from the crowd:

"I’m here!"

"Here!"

"Over here!"

"Here!"

...

Nearly a thousand Hall of Fame players removed their Disguiser Masks, appearing in the crowd.

As everybody was puzzled about Hall of Fame Dragon Soul’s actions, he decisively declared:

"As long as the key is with Feng Hua, my Hall of Fame withdraws from this event to show our respect!"

Meanwhile, in the world channel:

[World] Hall of Fame Dragon Soul: "As long as the key is with Feng Hua, my Hall of Fame withdraws from this event to show our respect!"

The entire scene was dead silent!
