Chapter 538: Chapter 528 Zun Shen

Boom, boom, boom…

Chickens charged like rhinos, brutally slamming into the shields on the outer formation of the iron barrel array, shattering all those shields. Then, like bulldozers, they charged straightforwardly through the array, and with each flap of their wings, more than a dozen people were sent flying, bodies scattering in the air…

The scene completely dumbfounded General Yu, who couldn’t comprehend how, in Newbie Village, these mere chickens could be so formidable?

In just a moment of distraction, half of his thirty thousand troops had been flung into the sky, and the chickens that hadn’t had a chance to strike first were like century-year-starved lascivious wolves spotting beauties, howling as they soared upwards, clutching people with their claws and shouting about virtue and righteousness, then tearing players apart in mid-air!

Blood splattered onto General Yu’s face, finally snapping him back to reality, and he realized something was terribly wrong, instantly crying out, “Retreat, retreat!”

However, with chickens everywhere, where could they retreat to?

Trapped together by the iron barrel array, there was absolutely no chance to escape!

The players desperately tried to retreat, but their attacks didn’t even scratch these chickens!

Just a random swipe from the chickens meant a swath of corpses…

Faced with such a massive gap in strength, the players despaired.

“I’ll fight you all!” General Yu roared as he drew his longsword, unleashing bursts of Sword Qi, which would span miles in the Cangshan Mountain World but only managed a few meters here, and the force barely more powerful than a gust of wind, not enough to kill anyone, barely enough to fan the air!

But his strike drew the attention of the chickens around him, and in an instant, dozens of them flapped their wings and swooped towards the airborne General Yu.

Some chickens swung their wings in the air while others performed the “White Crane Spreads Its Wings,” their long legs reaching directly for General Yu’s face.

Some chickens flipped their bodies, sliding in with a body check!

In that instant, all General Yu could see were chicken claws and wings around him!

General Yu could only rely on unleashing protective talismans and defensive spells, adopting the “Universe Fixing” stance for Absolute Defense.

General Yu bellowed, a blue light encasing him as he activated his Absolute Defense “Universe Fixing.”

General Yu had absolute confidence in his defensive power, but before he could feel confident for even a second, chicken claws and wings bombarded the blue light, which burst into pieces…

Then those protective talismans were utterly torn apart and smashed away by these brutal chickens!

“Holy f**k… are these really just chickens?” General Yu screamed internally.

The next moment, three chicken claws grasped his face, mutilation and death occurring almost simultaneously.

All thirty thousand players were decimated within seconds, their bodies and equipment scattered across the ground.

This massacre was witnessed by players who had hoped to opportunistically follow General Yu, and just a moment earlier, they had been running away when those chickens finished off the Yu Army, bloodstreaked, and slowly turned their gaze towards them…

“Run!”

Someone screamed, prompting the large army of players to turn and sprint towards the city.

Hearing such a cry, and seeing the distant city, the moat, the drawbridge, the city gates…

It again awakened a muscle memory in the flock of chickens. The Chicken King exclaimed excitedly, “This scene is so familiar! Brothers, what are we waiting for? Charge!” And then these three hundred thousand rogue chickens rushed towards the city gates.

Seeing this, the retreating players were terrified, their hair standing on end as they urgently yelled: “Go back, go back, back to the city!”

Some even tried to fly, but the rules of the Divine Realm forbade such weak flying in West Kunlun, their flying skills having been reduced to mere acceleration abilities, limited in effectiveness.

But the old problem arose!

Too many were rushing out, and both the city gate and the drawbridge were too narrow. Everyone tried to retreat to the city at the same time, preventing most from being able to do so quickly.

These players were certainly not earthly players, nor seasoned players from the Huaxia District of Earth who had experienced city slaughters and brutal chases at city gates.

Compared to the players from Vermilion Bird City, their journey had been completely smooth sailing, never having faced a horde of Wild Monsters…

Lacking direction and each prioritizing their own survival, they were all stuck at the gate.

They lacked experience, but as chickens from the Confucian Sect, they had plenty of it.

Almost without needing direction, the chickens took every opportunity to reach the city gates where, laughing maniacally like madmen, they savagely slaughtered the players before them.

Though these players were also elites of the Cangshan Mountain World, when they realized their attacks couldn’t breach the defense and were being killed instantly with a slap, their morale instantly shattered.

“Who the hell said this was Newbie Village?”

“Are these chickens? What the f**k, these are chickens? Help!”

“Help…”

Countless voices cried out, but the players inside the city, witnessing this one-sided massacre, dared not venture out.

And this was merely the situation at the east city gate, while the west city gate was an entirely different scene.

The west city gate faced the direction of West Kunlun Mountain, and beyond this plain was a forest that sloped uphill.

Here, players saw a group of chubby groundhogs.

Right when the Yu Lin army exited the city, members of a large gang called Zun Shen Gang, which boasted a membership of a hundred thousand, gathered here. This gang had already contacted everyone in the guild before arriving at West Kunlun and had made plans to seize resources for leveling as soon as they entered the new world.

Thus, their assembly was even faster than the Yu Lin army!

A hundred thousand members quickly gathered, then marched in formation out of the three city gates into the plains at the foot of West Kunlun Mountain, looking up at the mysterious, towering mountain that seemed to disappear into the sky, feeling their own insignificance.

However, when they saw a group of groundhogs poking their heads out of a nearby hole…

“Help, groundhogs! I see groundhogs!”

“These groundhogs are exactly the same as those near our Newbie Village, same size, same fur, even their gazes are the same.”

“Hahaha, how could their gazes be the same? Aren’t groundhogs blind? They’re all blind, of course their gazes are the same,” someone mocked.

Zun Shen said, “Alright, enough talk. Everyone be careful, these groundhogs weren’t level one monsters in Newbie Village. Let’s send a few fast ones to lure a couple here, test their strength and attributes first!”

“Boss, I’ll go!” a thin man said with a grin, his face resembling that of a grasshopper.

But no one present dared to underestimate him.

He was one of the three top experts of movement technique in Cangshan Mountain World, known as Yinianjian, the man as swift as lightning.

“Old Second, you don’t need to personally handle such matters,” Zun Shen felt it was an overkill.

Yinianjian, however, didn’t mind and said, “What overkill? I’m also curious about how different these West Kunlun groundhogs are from ours. It’s a new world, and I want to be the first to encounter the wild monsters here.”

Zun Shen nodded, understanding the sentiments of Yinianjian.

In a new world, being the first to make contact indeed carried a certain pride.

So Zun Shen said, “Alright, then you go. Remember, safety first.”

Yinianjian laughed heartily, “A bunch of chubby peas, even if they’re stronger than us, they won’t even be able to touch me! The advantage of our equipment isn’t something they can match with just a level or two!”

After saying this, Yinianjian whooshed out. The guy also intended to flaunt his abilities, not targeting the nearest groundhog but instead bypassed it and dashed further in, with his teasing voice occasionally transmitting through the gang channel: “This one’s too skinny, this one looks ugly, this one’s too fat…”

People sighed with wry smiles. At this moment, this guy was still being picky and fussy, totally over the top.

Zun Shen could not stand it anymore, shouting, “Old Second, hurry up! Don’t waste time!”

Only when Zun Shen spoke did Yinianjian reluctantly choose a target and prepare to make a move.

At this point, the foremost groundhog scratched its head and asked another nearby, “Did it seem like a big black rat just zoomed past, did you see it?”

“Saw it, but that wasn’t a big black rat, it was a little calf,” the other replied with bulging eyes, telling a blatant lie with all seriousness.

And the key point, the other actually believed it: “Makes sense.”

Then, a scream came from behind them, “Ouch! Guys, someone’s hitting me!”

Upon hearing this, the two groundhogs immediately climbed out of the hole, stood on tiptoe supporting their plump bodies, and strained their hardly visible necks to look behind. After a long stare,

groundhog A asked, “Did you see it?”

Groundhog B, pointing in a direction with dead seriousness, said, “Saw it, he is being beaten over there.”

Hearing this, Zun Shen and the others nearby almost burst out laughing because the direction pointed out by groundhog B was their direction, not at all where the beaten groundhog was.

With that vision, they found these groundhogs amusing in that moment.

Then, groundhog A said, “Doesn’t it seem like there are quite a lot of figures over there?”

Groundhog B shook its head, speaking earnestly, “Those aren’t figures, just a bunch of idiotic tree stumps.”

Hearing this, the faces of Zun Shen and the others instantly darkened, the laughter ceased, and they all rolled up their sleeves, drawing swords, ready to take action.

Just then, Yinianjian shouted, “Zun Shen, tried throwing stones, these groundhogs can’t see further than five meters! All blind, slow, and dim-witted, let’s kill!”

Zun Shen and the others could see clearly that the beaten groundhog was still cursing out there, its large eyes looking everywhere, yet unable to see Yinianjian ten meters away.

With such eyesight, the players of Zun Shen Gang instantly felt more confident.

Zun Shen, after all, was the gang leader, more cautious compared to the impetuous Yinianjian, and even more so reserved than the brash General Yu.
