The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 65

In the North Rocks area, within the depths of a dense forest, an ancient large tree twisted its body slowly, its branches swaying like snakes.

“Cha Na is dead? A new power within the Mansion of the Dead? Is this information reliable?” the ancient tree split open as a deep and solemn voice sounded from within.

“Lord Rock, I’ve already investigated. The information is true, and Liuli District has already been occupied by these new forces!” replied the steel zombie commander below.

“I’d already thought of him ending up destroyed in our initial discussion about the division of territory where we chose to hand Liuli District over to him, but I didn’t think that he would have been defeated by a foreign force. I thought the Sea King would have been the one to end him instead. What a good-for- nothing!” Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

As the Rock Ghost King spoke, his body shook and the ground followed suit immediately as it began to tremble, making the soil below him fly up in different directions while his enormous body rose from the ground.

“Lord Rock, should we launch a war against the Mansion of the Dead? These foreigners of unknown origins are a tremendous threat!” asked the steel zombie commander instinctively.

“No. As you’ve said, this force is from an unknown origin. It’s best if we don’t brew conflict rashly so as to not let other forces reap the benefits of our fight.”

“Then… then what if they attack us?”

Upon hearing this, the Rock Ghost King burst into laughter, his immense laughter shaking the surrounding trees. He cast his gaze on the steel zombie commander.

“I am not Cha Na. Besides, aside from those old corpses buried under the ground, who else has the confidence to fight my army of Tree Demons within my territory in the Land of Beiqi?!”

The Rock Ghost King seemed to have thought of something, and he looked at the steel zombie commander again.

“By the way, what is the situation of the Wood Spirit Clan?”

The steel zombie commander was taken aback, but then he immediately replied, “Stubborn. They still refuse to surrender to you, my Lord.”

“My patience has run out. I have been very lenient towards the Wood Spirit Clan, but since they’re so unwilling, let’s just exterminate the entire clan!”

As the Rock Ghost King spoke, the trees in the entire forest began to twist and sway. From above, it almost looked as though demons and monsters were dancing riotously.

……

Before the New Year’s event began, the players still chose to prioritize leveling up by fighting monsters. After all, there was only a small amount of players who did have enough soul coins to build their own Specter Ship and set sail out to sea.

At that moment, a few hundred players had congregated outside the entrance of the Ghost Mountains, their expressions grave as they looked at the dozens of figures before them.

The figures being surrounded all had the appearance of the human race, moreover, they looked incredibly attractive. It could even be said that they had wholly conformed to the human race’s standards of aesthetics.

However, the players knew that these people were not players of their own faction as they all had light green hair and dark green pupils. It was obvious that they were a foreign clan!

[Wood Spirit Clan]: A humanoid race masterful of the way of the Wood Spirit. Adults of the Wood Spirit Clan possess special abilities of growth, healing, divine protection, and so on.

“Wood Spirit Clan? Boss, should we kill them?” questioned a man with a wand in his hand.

The man who was called the boss did not reply, instead he looked at the members of the Wood Spirit Clan surrounding them and shouted loudly.

“Hey, what’re you doing here at the Mansion of the Dead? Don’t you know that this is the territory of the Beiqi Army?”

Upon hearing those words, the members of the Wood Spirit Clan who were initially unwavering in their determination to rebel like their lives depended on it all seemed startled.

A handsome man from the Wood Spirit Clan with a long bow on his back stepped out from the group. Sweeping his gaze across everyone at the scene, he then turned toward the leader of the Demolition Guild, Liu Chai.

“You say that you’re the Beiqi Army?”

“Duh, if not us, then who else?! You?” Liu Chai glared at him.

“As far as I know, the Beiqi Army of the Lord King of Beiqi had already been scattered. How could the Beiqi Army possibly still exist?” the man from the Wood Spirit Clan appeared to be very astonished.

“Millions of descendants of Beiqi exist, how could the Beiqi Army possibly collapse?”

Liu Chai glared at him again, “Speak up, what is your origin and why are you here? If it wasn’t for your human appearance, my brothers and I would’ve cut you all down long ago!”

Upon hearing the threat of action in his words, the man panicked a little, “We are the Wood Spirit Clan, a medical clan appointed by the King of Beiqi.”

“Appointed by the King of Beiqi?” Liu Chai was a little confused.

Subsequently, the man from the Wood Spirit Clan explained how his clan had been cornered in the North Rocks area after the death of the King of Beiqi. When they vowed to die rather than surrender to the Rock Ghost King, their entire clan was eventually exterminated and only a few dozen people had managed to escape.

After listening to the man from the Wood Spirit Clan, all the players present were stunned.

“So they’re allies?”

“Could they have been sent by the Rock Ghost King to spy on us?”

“I still think we should be cautious, let’s kill them!”

“We don’t know if they’re trustworthy. Go ask an NPC, they ought to know.”

The players of the Demolition Guild immediately began to discuss heatedly.

“Everyone, be quiet. Although you say that you’re allies, I don’t believe it, so let’s do it this way. You can come with me to see the butler of the Mansion of the Dead. If he says it’s true, then you can stay in the Mansion of the Dead, if not, then hmm…”

“Butler of the Mansion of the Dead?” the man from the Wood Spirit Clan was startled again.

Having stayed in Beiqi for so many years, not only had they never met the force before their eyes, they were also oblivious to the fact that the Mansion of the Dead had a butler.

However, under the pressing circumstances, the man from the Wood Spirit Clan only looked at the meager remainder of his clansmen with a trace of sorrow in his eyes and chose to compromise.

As a result, the few dozen members of the Wood Spirit Clan had their weapons confiscated by the Demolition Guild as they were escorted to the heart of the Mansion of the Dead.

Naturally, Lu Wu was already aware of this situation and had already asked Bei Li about it.

However, Bei Li was also utterly surprised by the existence of the Wood Spirit Clan. In her opinion, the forces that were extremely loyal to the King of Beiqi should have already been wiped out by the rebels. She had never expected that the Wood Spirit Clan still exist.

“I think I know the reason, it might be the specialty of the Wood Spirit Clan!” after pondering for a while, Bei Li lifted her head to speak.

“Specialty?”

“Yes, the Wood Spirit Clan aren’t the same as the other battle-type clans. They have extremely weak fighting abilities, but they’re an auxiliary-type clan that possess healing and restoring abilities. Evidently, the Rock Ghost King plundered this clan, wanting to retrieve them for himself to improve the combat strength of his own forces, but he didn’t succeed!”

After Lu Wu found out that the Wood Spirit Clan was truly loyal and devoted, he gave the butler a new command prior to the arrival of the Demolition Guild and the others.

Upon arrival of the members of the Demolition Guild, they met with the butler whose gaze suddenly turned to the Wood Spirit Clan who were encircled in the center.

“You… you all are still alive!”

The Wood Spirit Clan was confused.

“It must truly be the blessing of the King of Beiqi. I never imagined that you would actually be able to survive the ambush of the rebels,” the butler’s eyes were brimming with tears as he spoke.

The Wood Spirit Clan was now even more confused.

At that moment, they were stupefied. Who in the world is this emotional old man before us? He acts as though he is very familiar with us!
