Chapter 38 Daring to Provoke the Rising Sun
After eating and drinking their fill, the Chaoyang group split into groups and began to explore in different directions.
Chaoyang currently has 1500 people, divided into groups of 100, and is now divided into three groups of five to explore in depth towards the left, right and front.
Yu Yanyan and Shen Xingzhi's main team, unless there are special circumstances, she will not let Shen Xingzhi leave her side.
Even though Yu Yanyan has many life-saving items, she won't die easily.
Wang Ranran was not with Yu Yanyan; she was assigned to another group. The two "lucky ones" couldn't reach their full potential together; they needed to be separated.
Before setting off, Yu Yanyan once again reminded everyone to follow instructions and to seek help immediately if they encountered danger. Everyone agreed and dispersed.
The group was divided into groups, and those following behind followed without hesitation, joining the team that was heading straight ahead.
Although they knew that others were also very capable, they still believed more in Yu Yanyan's abilities.
The roads in the mountains are difficult to travel, but there are plenty of supplies: mushrooms, wild vegetables and berries growing on the ground, as well as potatoes and yams buried in the soil.
We haven't encountered many wild monsters yet, but we've left a group of people to gather resources.
"It's better to stay with the group. If I go alone, wouldn't all this taro be wasted? I don't even recognize it," someone sighed.
Another person chimed in, "Who says otherwise? I only know what vegetables look like when they're ripe, but I really don't know what they look like in the field."
"It would be such a waste to waste so much stuff."
"Indeed, knowledge is essential."
"Stop talking, hurry up and dig, let's catch up with the main group ahead as soon as possible."
Their captain looked up and urged them on, and the group stopped chatting and started digging taro seriously.
The scattered players from Zone 6 who followed behind came over and asked if they could dig a spot, and the group leader assigned them a spot.
Overjoyed, they immediately began digging.
Players from other areas were incredibly envious and came over to ask, only to be glared at and shut down by the group leader. "Didn't we leave you some space? Isn't such a big area enough for you to dig?"
To be fair, he designated quite a few locations, enough for these people to dig up a lot of things.
Players from other regions then realized they had to team up with players from region 6, and eagerly joined them.
Even the scattered players in Zone 6 have a leader, a fierce-looking bald man.
He is also a well-known player in Zone 6, named Zhao Qiancheng.
This person had met Yu Yanyan a few times before, and each time he greeted her with a smile.
The "gentle" smile on that villainous face left a deep impression on Yu Yanyan.
When Yu Yanyan saw him in the secret realm this time, she took the initiative to nod and greet him.
Zhao Qiancheng was overjoyed, thoroughly enjoying the praise and envy from other players in Zone 6.
Players from other regions are afraid of Chaoyang, but not these scattered players. The number of players in Region 6 is not even as many as those in other regions, so they are already getting restless.
Zhao Qiancheng, being who he was, immediately saw through their ulterior motives and grinned maliciously at them on the spot.
The players in Zone 6 also laughed disdainfully. Every single one of them gave them a mocking glance and then ignored them, focusing on digging for their own resources.
Players from other regions, upon seeing this, became enraged and reacted with anger.
They're not stupid. These people are so arrogant, completely disregarding them, they must have something to rely on.
They might have some hidden cards up their sleeve.
Or perhaps...
The clever man glanced at the busy Chaoyang team members, suppressed his ulterior motives, found a place to squat down, and started working.
There are smart people, and there are naturally not smart people.
Some people were angered by Zhao Qiancheng's mocking laughter. Seeing that the top players in the district were not making a move, they couldn't help but go over.
"Big brother, look how arrogant they are, even provoking us. Shouldn't we teach them a lesson?"
The expert didn't even lift his eyelids; his attention was entirely focused on the enormous taro that was half-exposed.
His friend next to him rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Then go and teach them a lesson, see if they'll tear you apart."
The man was taken aback, his expression shifted, and he muttered, "Well, we have a lot of people."
His expert friend impatiently yelled at him, "Get out of here! Get out of here!"
You're wasting my time digging taro!
The person got even angrier after being scolded and tried to incite others, but to no avail.
The others weren't stupid; seeing that even the seemingly powerful one wasn't going to attack, they naturally wouldn't dare to make a move rashly.
Anyway, since we've divided the area, as long as we can dig up something, that's fine.
The person who was secretly watching this scene chuckled and shook his head, "As expected, there aren't many fools who have survived this long."
"Hey, I'm actually waiting for them to cause trouble so I'll have an excuse to touch the box." The skinny guy next to Zhao Qiancheng tossed a taro into the box.
Although he was talking, it didn't affect his hand movements at all; he worked extremely fast.
"Following Chaoyang is good, it guarantees safety, but you just can't go looking for trouble, tsk~"
"Don't act innocent after getting a good deal. If you want to rob someone, you can choose not to go with Chaoyang," Zhao Qiancheng scolded him.
The man chuckled, "In the world of floors, I might not follow, but in the secret realm, I definitely have to keep up with Chaoyang."
The others looked on with agreement; they thought the same thing.
The secret realm is dangerous; we must proceed with caution.
While the group was digging for taro in a great mood, they encountered a huge, ferocious-looking black bear before they had gone far.
Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw its size.
The combat team worked together seamlessly, and without being prompted, they began searching for suitable positions.
Get into position and engage the enemy.
Players with combat skills are also fighting; those who are really weak were just left in the gathering team.
This was a full-scale battle, and even though the black bear was a mini-boss, it still couldn't withstand everyone's attacks, and its health was dropping at a visible rate.
Soon, the black bear mini-boss was defeated and turned into a substantial reward.
"Wuhu~ That's great, it's packed with good stuff."
"The rewards are better than the monsters on the higher floors. Although they're a little harder to defeat, who are we? We'll take them down easily!"
"Stop joking, let's hurry up and find the next one."
...
After defeating this mini-boss, Yu Yanyan then had each group scatter and explore the surrounding area to increase the search area.
Both regular and elite monsters were easily defeated in each group.
When encountering a mini-boss or a major boss, you'll call for reinforcements to quickly defeat it together before continuing your exploration.
When they were tired, they ate energy-restoring biscuits; when they were hot, they drank cooling cold drinks. Everyone refused to rest for even a minute and pushed forward desperately, hoping to get as many supplies as possible.
The team channel occasionally provides links to shared content from each group to prevent people from getting lost.
Wang Ranran truly lives up to her reputation as a lucky charm; her team leader immediately assigned her to lead everyone to a place overflowing with supplies.
First, there was an apple orchard. After sweeping away the big red apples that weighed down the branches, and killing a few elite monsters, we discovered a large patch of wild Panax notoginseng.
Alright, now let's all start digging for medicinal herbs.
After digging, they continued on their way and soon discovered another diamond chest.
Although the two-headed python guarding the treasure chest was difficult to deal with, it was managed to kill it without any casualties.
The massive rewards and diamond chests are a real windfall.
As soon as the news was posted on the team channel, everyone immediately worshipped Wang Ranran.
No wonder he's so lucky!
Yu Yanyan also has a high luck value. There are plenty of resources and monsters here, and she didn't encounter any major dangers along the way.
All dangers were resolved, and not a single person was lost.
On the other hand, there weren't many supplies along the way, but there were a lot of monsters, including elite monsters and bosses.
The entire time was spent either fighting or on the way to fighting.
There were quite a few injured people, including several seriously injured. Fortunately, the team had a therapist, pharmacist, and doctor that Yu Yanyan had specially assigned.
Otherwise, we would really lose several people.
You cannot exit the secret realm on your own unless the time is up or you use an instant return elevator card.
The instant return elevator card is too precious to be used in life-or-death situations.
Even if the seriously injured player had a card, he was unwilling to use it; he simply couldn't bear to part with it.
Chaoyang would never abandon his teammates, especially since they were injured while saving other members. All the injured have been taken care of and protected, and everyone is determined to bring them back safely.
Just as the player was lamenting their bad luck and how they couldn't fight because they were injured, they saw someone even more unlucky than themselves.
They were players from other regions, and there were quite a few of them, at least over three hundred.
However, most of them were injured, some even missing limbs and bleeding profusely.
Upon meeting, both sides became alert.
On the Chaoyang side, groups of people were also exploring in a fan shape. Right now, there's a group of 100 people fighting right now.
The mini-boss, the fierce tiger, didn't have much health left, and as soon as this group appeared, the people from Chaoyang became extremely alert.
The team leader immediately sent a signal within the group, just in case.
Upon seeing this, Yu Yanyan immediately called over several groups of people to come over, so that if something really happened, there wouldn't be enough time to rescue them.
The groups of people over there who could get there immediately rushed over, running as fast as they could.
First, he was afraid something would happen to his teammates; second, he wanted to fight.
After all, murder, robbery, and double-crossing are the fastest ways to get rich quick.
The three hundred-strong group that suddenly appeared was the Overlord Group. They encountered a group of elite lions and the boss Lion King ahead, and were forced to fight before they could leave.
This resulted in both injuries and deaths, causing significant casualties, and the remaining personnel were all wounded.
When Zhang Tianba, the leader of the Overlord Gang, looked at the hundred-man squad in front of him and the tiger with low health, his heart was instantly moved.
But seeing how well-trained and simple-minded these people were, they didn't make a move immediately.
The deputy commander, with his sharp eyes, noticed the small cake badges worn on the chests of those people and immediately realized they were from Chaoyang.
"It's Yu Yanyan's group, Lao Zhang, what do you say?"
Before Zhang Tianba could speak, one of the managers next to him said, "Brother, Chaoyang is rich! Killing them will definitely make us rich, and we'll recover our losses in no time."
"That's true, but Chaoyang's people are definitely nearby. Can we take them down? Don't get ourselves into trouble; we've already suffered quite a few injuries." Someone disagreed.
There were quite a few objections.
"That's right. They can't be spread out too far. If the main force comes, we'll be in trouble. It's not easy to run in the mountains."
"Most of these people have served in the military; their camaraderie is too obvious."
"Forget it, Commander, let's go."
For every person who opposes it, there is someone who agrees to the robbery.
"We suffered heavy losses this time. If we don't take advantage of this opportunity to make a big move, we'll really be crippled."
"I'd give anything to the boldest among us; I support taking the plunge!"
The two sides were arguing fiercely in the team channel, and Zhang Tianba himself was wavering and unable to make a decision.
He knew Chaoyang was not someone to mess with, but he also knew they were definitely rich.
Since we're not in the same district, let's just do it. What can Chaoyang do to me?
But what if their main force is not far away and arrives soon? Will I be able to escape?
Hesitating for two minutes, the tiger's health was almost depleted.
Someone grew impatient and urged Zhang Tianba to make a decision, "Brother, hurry up and decide, or the boss will die! That's experience and rewards!"
Zhang Tianba gritted his teeth and waved his hand: "Let's do it!"
"Hurry up, finish and leave, don't dawdle!"
The veteran leading Chaoyang's team saw them charging towards them and immediately ordered, "Focus fire on the boss! Squad 96, take the wounded and retreat first!"
"Yes!" The Chaoyang members used their best skills to focus fire on the boss.
Those who requested evacuation were not delayed for even a second and left immediately.
Staying behind would definitely distract everyone; running away first is the best option.
While carrying several seriously wounded soldiers, Squad 96 was calling for reinforcements in the team chat.
[Fighting has broken out! Our 13096 squad is retreating with the seriously wounded. The rest of Group 13 are still at coordinates xxxx. The enemy has over 300 men. Brothers, come and support us!!]
[Who the hell dares to mess with Chaoyang?!]
[On their way, Team 3, hold on!]
[Group 4 is the closest and is expected to arrive within five minutes!]
Yu Yanyan's voice rang in everyone's ears: "Group Three, please focus on defense. Everyone else, immediately proceed to Group Three's coordinates to provide support!"
Only a little over three hundred people, dare to mess with Chaoyang, we'll skin them alive!
