Fang Ling and the others nodded, their eyes filled with confidence. After cheering, Cong Xue waved her hand and led the 50 people into the night.

After leaving the Beginner’s Village for a kilometer, everyone had completely fallen into darkness. Apart from the brightly lit Beginner’s Village, they could only vaguely see the outline of something around them.

They could not see clearly, but those things could see them clearly!

Cong Xue whispered, “Everyone, be careful. Don’t act rashly when you see rabbits.”

“Don’t worry, Sister Xue. We’re stable… Oh!” Before one of them could finish, there was silence.

“What’s going on?” Cong Xue turned around abruptly. The others also looked over, only to see that the place where the person had spoken was already empty!

“Careful, there’s something wrong here,” said Cong Xue, immediately realizing something.

However, in the next moment, she saw a black shadow suddenly dart out from under one of the men’s feet. After locking his throat, it suddenly retracted. The man was pulled headfirst into the ground, and then a white light spread out. He was dead!

“Be careful, there’s an ambush underground!” Cong Xue warned loudly, but it was too late.

Shadows darted out from all directions. The players wanted to dodge, but their pitiful 18 attribute points were not enough in front of the snake.

Coupled with the sneak attack, in the blink of an eye, there were only three people left out of the 50.

Cong Xue brought the two of them back quickly and dodged everywhere. They relied on their combat skills and muscle reflexes that they had trained hard in reality to avoid the snake’s mouth.

But he was also drenched in cold sweat!

“What the hell is it?!” Cong Xue asked, breathing heavily.

The other two shook their heads. “I didn’t get a good look. I just saw a shadow dart out and disappear.”

“It’s too fast. We’re not fast enough… Look out!” the other said, and the man in front of him tensed.

At the same time, a black shadow darted out from behind the other person. He suddenly jumped horizontally to dodge, but another black shadow on the other side could not dodge and was wrapped around his arm. Then, he was dragged towards the hole!

A shrill scream tore through the dark silence, accompanied by the cold wind blowing towards the Beginner’s Village.

Fang Ling and the others’ expressions changed.

Fang Ling couldn’t help but shout, “Cong Xue?!”

Yun Ying said, “Go to the resurrection point and ask them what’s going on. I hope they’re not completely wiped out…”

At the same time, in the hole, a gopher stared angrily at the snake in front of him. “I told you to catch it alive. Why did you bite it to death?! You stupid snake!”

The snake looked at the gopher with an aggrieved expression. Clearly, he realized his mistake.

The Snake King was also roaring. He had promised Yi Zheng that he would capture them alive, but in the end, 49 out of 50 people were killed instantly!

He almost flipped over.

The Snake King growled and told them to get lost while he aimed at the human player who had entered the village.

“There’s only one left. I have to be careful not to kill her too. Hmm, I’ll be gentle…” Snake King muttered. Seize the opportunity!

BOOM!

The ground exploded. The Snake King emerged from its hole and sank its jaws into the player’s waist.

Cong Xue was shocked by the sudden explosion and was caught amidst her panic. She instinctively hit the other party, but…

“-0!”

“No breach!”

Cong Xue was dumbfounded. There was a mandatory deduction of 1 HP when fighting rabbits, but she couldn’t break this thing’s defense?

At the same time, she finally saw the other party’s appearance clearly. It was a colorful snake! The snake was three to four meters long. It bit her small waist with its bloody mouth as if it would bite her in half if it exerted any force.

Girls had a natural fear of snakes. At that moment, Cong Xue felt the world spin. A mouthful of fear rushed to her throat. “Ah!! Help!”

Sharp screams echoed throughout the green grassland…

At that moment, the Snake King’s body glowed red. –1!

The next moment, Cong Xue waved her fists crazily and grabbed at the snake in front of her. Then, the Snake King stared at a series of −0s.

, –0,

, –0,

, –0,

He walked towards a large tree in the distance. There, Yi Zheng was still waiting for him.

“It’s Cong Xue!” Fang Ling heard Cong Xue scream.

Coupled with the darkness of the grassland and the unknown threat in the darkness, everyone felt a chill from the bottom of their hearts…

At this moment, the usually confident Yue Wei subconsciously tightened his clothes.

In their eyes, there seemed to be something extremely terrifying in the darkness of the night.

It wasn’t long before the scouts came back to life.

Chen Chuanwen, Wang Mingchen, Zhang Mei, and Fang Ling saw them immediately.

They thought they could get something out of them but in the end…

“I didn’t see clearly. I just felt a big hand around my neck, and then I blacked out and didn’t know anything.”

“I didn’t get a good look either. It was too dark.”

“I don’t think it’s a hand. It looks like a tooth bite. But if you’re talking about rabbits jumping up and biting me, I don’t think it’s likely. After all, rabbits are five feet six. I’m only five feet.”

“I think it’s a tentacle monster, like the ones in Japan!”

“Shut up. It’s one of those tentacled monsters, even if you’re not dead… you won’t be talking anymore.”

…

Through everyone’s descriptions, the smartest cadres of the guild were even more dumbfounded.

“The situation is even more complicated now. Not only will those rabbits lure you in, but they will also ambush you.” Wang Mingchen rubbed his forehead and sighed.

Zhang Mei said, “Now, the biggest problem is not their strength, but that we know nothing about them. And they seem to know us very well. Our every move is within their calculations. That’s the most terrifying thing.”

Everyone nodded, but there was nothing they could do.

After all, it had only been a day since the game started, and they had yet to fight a single monster. They really knew nothing about this world.

Just as they were discussing countermeasures.

Yi Zheng, who was teaching the rabbits, saw the Snake King capture a girl from afar. As a rabbit, he still had night vision.

Yi Zheng quickly shrank behind a wooden stake.

“Boss, I’ve brought her for you!”

Hearing this, Cong Xue immediately perked up.

She had always felt that there was something wrong with these rabbits. They moved and advanced and retreated in an orderly manner. There must be a think tank hiding behind them.

Therefore, she immediately widened her eyes and looked ahead to see who was controlling these rabbits. This was a shocking secret!

What she saw really shocked her.

On the vast grassland, there were rabbits sitting on the ground. Their muscles were bulging and their eyes were fierce and ruthless. They looked at her like she was a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
