Chapter 565: Chapter 565: Man-made Foggy Marsh
If Li Yao saw the ID of this leading player, he would definitely recognize it. It’s not that he knows the person, but rather, the ID.
Raving Rampage, it’s basically only those from the Crazy Family who choose names with the prefix ‘Crazy.’
The Crazy Family has earned its infamous reputation from other games. They are a group of lunatics who play games fearlessly and they’re a collective of gaming mercenaries.
Their motto is, as long as they are given enough credits, they would even run naked in the game. In general, they are a group of shameless, immoral scum.
However, they have never felt any shame, quite the opposite; they take pride in it. If you insult someone as low-down and shameless, no matter how dark-hearted they are, they would be absolutely incensed and want to kill you.
But if you insult them, they would beam with pride; they would be extremely proud, as if they were being praised.
Of course, although they have these traits, the one thing that cannot be denied is –
Members of the Crazy Family are all expert gamers, and aside from the above attributes, they are not stupid at all. On the contrary, they’re quite smart. If not, they wouldn’t be thriving in various games.
They are in charge of the attack from the east. The people from the Crazy Family, coupled with some cheaply hired players, are all headed in Starfire’s direction.
With the rise in guild headquarter, guild fights have also become a popular topic.
Belonging to two camps, some players couldn’t wait to experience the action. If they could destroy a guild, they could not only gain various reputations but would also receive tangible benefits.
Moreover, the Crazy Family offered bounties, so some idle players also joined the team.
“Boss, there’s heavy fog here, is there a chance we might get ambushed?” Crazy Little Pepper asked, furrowing his brows.
“Starfire has put in so much effort, there’s definitely not going to be a smooth journey ahead. Plus, with the recent monster spawns, they should have formed a defensive line, ” Raving Rampage laughed: “But that’s okay, our employers have been very generous this time, giving me lots of nice things. Look at this.”
Raving Rampage also tore a scroll and threw it into the fog. After a while, while the fog did not completely dissipate, the visibility had significantly improved.
“Let’s keep going. It’s laughable that they think they can ambush us using a fog scroll.” Although he said so, Raving Rampage was just trying to reassure everyone.
Even though he has the scrolls, they’re not that many, and he wants to save them for the battle.
He can’t see a single person in sight now, using such a scroll just to clear a path seems unnecessary. Also, he noticed that the fog within was patchy, rather than uniform across the whole place. With such layout, who knows if there are people from Starfire hiding within.
If there are quite a few people lying in ambush, waiting to break up his team with guerrilla tactics, they would certainly be uncomfortable. The chaos from the fog means they can launch an attack and quickly flee, leaving his team in a catch-22 situation.
But despite all this, he maintained a calm and composed exterior, emitting a confident aura. Although he was worried, as the commander, he absolutely couldn’t show it.
“System: You have entered the radial range of Starfire Guild, and the mode has changed to War mode. After death, your soul will be released and resurrect at the largest gathering point of your camp on this map.”
They didn’t bother with it as it was common knowledge. Except for the Mirror dueling, in War mode, everyone essentially has one life.
Especially for the attacking party, while the defenders, due to the presence of their revival point, find it relatively easier to respawn. But in War mode, there’s a minimum wait of an hour for each respawn after death.
The actual length of time for the resurrection depends on the level of the guild’s graveyard construction. The higher the graveyard level, the shorter the resurrection time.
Guild construction is not just about the guild hall and such; every feature has a level standard. As the level of each feature building increases, its functionality also becomes stronger.
“Holy shit, what’s this thing? I’m stuck.”
Suddenly, some people started shouting. There were over ten thousand people, so the team was quite sizeable. Even though they could clear a path, many people were still moving forward in the fog.
A moment after passing through the system’s prompted area, people started exclaiming.
“Damn, it stinks, pull me up quickly.”
“Son of a bitch, don’t pull me in. You’ve got me in too.”
Suddenly, chaos ensued in the team. Seeing hundreds of chat messages, Raving Rampage furrowed his eyebrows, still unsure of what was going on.
But just in a short while, he figured out what was happening. The stealthed rogue in charge of scouting ahead had suddenly became visible before quickly sinking into the ground.
“Watts, Boss save me!” Raving Rogue exclaimed.
“Bee, save him.” Rampage facial expression tightened. The road ahead looked like any other ordinary ground, covered with grass that exuded a peculiar scent.
Crazy Little Bee immediately threw her whip, which the Rogue grabbed, but still, she was unable to pull him up.
It still took an effort from four or five warriors to pull him out when he was already half-buried. Green light was leaking from the Rogue’s body, with less than half his life remaining.
“Fuck, what the hell is this? Why is there a poison effect?”
It was only then the healer reacted, applying detoxification spells and healing, which just about saved his life.
“This is a Swamp Scroll, but it looks like there’s been something added to it. Frightening.” Crazy Think Tank said, furrowing his brow.
“How much of our forces have we lost just then?” Crazy Rampage asked.
The count was soon summed up, Crazy Think Tank said: “Boss, in such a short period of time, we’ve lost 512 people.”
“That many?” Crazy Rampage was taken aback.
“Mmm, we’ve been in the mist for five minutes. Everyone initially thought that there might be an ambush, but it’s been quiet till now. Thus, many people let their guards down and scattered, leading to…” Crazy Think Tank explained the cause.
“Shit, if I’d known, I wouldn’t have wasted money hiring these useless people.” Crazy Little Bee’s roar was commanding and coarse, despite her foxy appearance.
“Calm down. Rogue, what happened? You almost got yourself killed,” Rampage asked.
Crazy Rogue said in a wronged tone, “Big brother, my trap detection didn’t react at all. I had no idea.”
Crazy Think Tank said, “This isn’t the Rogue’s fault. This scroll is a mid-level Swamp Scroll. The ground appears normal, and is quite solid, only bearing the weight of one person to trigger and sink down. This belongs to the Magic Trap category. No Rogue at our current level could detect this type of trap.”
“Damn, Starfire’s bunch of cheap bastards really are rich.” Crazy Rampage was speechless. The area is so vast, there must be more than just a few traps. Just how much money did they spend on this?
“You know Prairie Fire’s wealth-gathering abilities. Forget it, let’s just proceed cautiously.” Rampage also got anxious. In such a situation, he didn’t know what to do.
Before Crazy Rampage could come up with a plan, the distant clashing of weapons and magic explosions could be heard. Then they saw messages in the team chat,
The party has been ambushed by Starfire Guild…
