Chapter 143 Dances with Wolves

In Xuantian City, Lu Jiu and his friends discovered that among the wild monsters in the wild, the number of Brown Iron level monsters was decreasing, and the most common monsters encountered were Brown Iron mutant level monsters.

As soon as they returned to the city-state, they heard someone say that two teams encountered a brown iron-level BOSS outside. Fortunately, that team cooperated with other teams and went out together, and there were enough people to kill the BOSS.

However, the two teams are currently arguing fiercely in the city over the BOSS rewards.

Lu Jiu and the others heard the insults at the city gate, and there were many people gathered not far away. People from their country gathered to watch the fun, which was a familiar pattern.

"You said that's all the reward, but that was the one you killed. How can we be sure that what you said is true?"

"That's really all. If I had known you guys would get into this kind of trouble, I wouldn't have killed that boss."

"That sounds nice, but when you made that final attack, you were like a vicious dog pouncing on its prey, and no one could stop you." The old man spoke with an accent from his hometown.

This sounded so funny that Lu Jiu couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh, and Shen Jufeng and the others couldn't help laughing either.

The residents who gathered around to watch the fun also laughed.

The man whose face was being criticized flushed crimson. "I just couldn't stop myself when I was killing him. I didn't expect that would be the final blow."

"Do you believe what you said, old man—bah!"

As he said this, he actually spat at the other person.

The professional player who killed the boss was a little angry. "Anyway, I didn't steal the stuff. I've already given you half of it."

People on both sides were so angry that they were fuming and cursing each other again. The man who killed the BOSS had veins bulging on his forehead and was about to start fighting.

Just at this moment, the patrolling NPCs arrived and stood by, watching them closely. They didn't dare to take any action.

In the end, everyone left in a bad mood. Seeing how fiercely they were arguing, Lu Jiu tutted and shook his head. "It's really not good for the monster to go straight into the killer's pocket after being killed. It's really troublesome to divide the rewards this way."

In the past, they were all ordinary-level wild monsters, and the rewards were limited. Everyone was capable of killing a few, and didn't care how much others got.

But as the levels of wild monsters get higher and higher and the rewards become richer and richer, people's hearts become unpredictable.

Shen Jufeng also felt that the design of the game world was unreasonable. "This is the only way now. Let's go."

Zhuang Yun didn’t think too much about it. He could feel that his two teammates didn’t care much about the rewards dropped by wild monsters, but instead enjoyed the battle process more.

Looking at the backs of the two, he sighed silently in his heart: What a terrible professional player, the nemesis of wild monsters!

They all went to the restaurant to eat these days. The manager was really amazing. He often came up with new dishes and seemed to want to make all eight of their cuisines, including foreign cuisines.

They were still sitting in their old seats today, and soon someone sat down by the window in front of them. It turned out to be an old acquaintance.

The person on the opposite side turned around and saw them, "You are back too." It was Yao Bingan who spoke.

Ever since her own city-state was dissolved, she brought most of her teammates to Xuantian City to finalize the situation, but some of them decided to join other teams.

There weren't many people in her team to begin with, and then Li Aoting came, and the two of them merged.

Yao Bing'an liked to be close to Lu Jiu, and when he saw her, he ran over and sat next to her.

Lu Jiu made room for her and said, "Recently, I've been coming back around 5am when there are no more monsters. I'm mentally exhausted after staying outside for so long."

"That's right. I was planning to tell you about the interesting things I heard today after dinner, and it's just right that you said it right here."

Lu Jiu was curious, what else could be interesting? "Are you talking about the quarrel between the two teams in the city-state today?"

Yao Bing'an waved his hands. "It's still Longjiao City. We've already gone out to clear the jungle. The deputy captain saw He Ange leading a lot of patrol NPCs out of the city. Knowing that they were going out to clear the jungle, he asked if we had cleared the jungle here before and if there were really monsters at this time."

Of course, she replied that there were indeed wild monsters, but they were rarely encountered. However, once encountered, they were in groups, so she suggested that he bring more people.

Lu Jiu grasped the key point, "Take the NPC out to clear the wild?"

This operation is really powerful, and the NPCs are indeed powerful, but using them to help you clear the jungle is not a good thing. Once you get used to sitting back and reaping the benefits, the consequences are self-evident. Be prepared to be a scumbag in the future.

"Yeah, it's really a big deal. The deputy captain's group has basically quit the city lord team. He Ange couldn't find anyone, so he took the NPC out, saying that he was going out with a ruthless team. I guess he was afraid."

Yao Bing'an also reminded her, "That team is the group that killed ordinary residents there in the autumn. Anyway, they were very difficult to deal with before that."

Lu Jiu frowned. If He Ange cooperated with a group of people like that, it would be like dancing with wolves. No wonder she thought of taking the NPCs out. That's why she agreed to let them patrol outside the city at a fixed time.

"He is the city lord, and it is his right to do so." Lu Jiu only commented with this sentence in the end.

"That's true. I never thought of asking the NPCs to go out with us to clear the wilderness. NPCs are NPCs. Since they are patrolling, let them do their job."

Yao Bing'an felt that he was quite powerful at the time and was willing to rely on his own strength to fight wild monsters.

Lu Jiu and the others just chuckled, but when they looked up at Yao Bingan, they found that her expression was stunned and then became serious.

"What's wrong?" Lu Jiu asked her.

Yao Bing'an frowned and whispered to her, "The deputy captain just emailed me saying that He Ange is dead, and it's not just death. Things have become very troublesome..."

Shen Jufeng also raised his head. The lord of a city was dead. Even if that person had a bad character, it was still a human life.

Lu Jiu was also shocked by the news, "He Ange is dead? How did he die?"

It is the beginning of winter now. A city lord has died. I really don’t know what the city-state will face in the future.

Yao Bingan: "He was killed by the team he was working with and the other teams. He's in trouble."

Lu Jiu glanced at her two teammates. Zhuang Yun was shocked by the news, but Shen Jufeng understood what she meant. If the city lord was killed, what kind of rewards would be dropped? What would happen to the city-state?

Yao Bing'an soon received another email, and his face turned pale when he saw the message in it.

Only at this moment did she realize how terrifying the game world was.

Li Aoting, who was still sitting opposite her, saw that her face was not good and came over. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yao Bing'an shook his head helplessly, "It's not good to talk about this here. I'll tell you when we get back."

It's unclear what information she knew, but it must be something big.

Longjiao City was in chaos, and everyone was hurriedly packing up their things. The deputy captain and other teammates formed a circle to protect their families.

Some children were frightened, but now they were more sensible and tried hard not to cry.

The deputy captain and others looked at the crazy people outside and thought to themselves that they had to leave here immediately, without delay!
