"What? You saw someone coming from afar? A lot of people?!" Yi Zheng, who was practicing squats on Zi Xing's head, jumped up excitedly upon hearing the news.
Finally, no more loneliness!
"Yes, boss. I followed your orders and climbed up First-Tier Sky Canyon with the brothers. Although we can't get out, we can see far from above. There're so many people that we can't see the end." Yi Zheng extended two fingers in front of the Groundhog King and asked: "How many is this?"
The Groundhog King paused, squinted his eyes for a long time, and finally said: "Boss, why do you have eight fingers? No wonder you're the boss. Even your fingers are more than other Rabbits!"
Yi Zheng was speechless. He knew groundhogs had poor eyesight.
Moreover, Yi Zheng also knew that human players weren't fools. If three outside players had already been killed, human players would surely realize there's something wrong in the Newbie Village unless they were all pigs.
There wouldn't be few people coming this time. However, Yi Zheng was not sure exactly how many there would be.
Currently, ten Newbie Villages had been opened, totaling sixty thousand players. Yi Zheng didn't believe that, in such a short time, thirty thousand people would reach level ten simultaneously. After all, the number of small monsters was limited, and even if they didn't resist and let players kill them, they wouldn't all reach level ten at the same time. There would definitely be some sequence.
Additionally, with all the monster-stealing and enmities in between, it's impossible for them all to group together.
Also, players from Newbie Village No. 1 couldn't have such great influence to call all players to come and help.
After all, everyone entered the new world to start anew and not remain ordinary. Wasting a lot of time for a bunch of strangers was clearly unrealistic. Yi Zheng estimated that, excluding those who just wanted to join the fun, even having ten thousand people coming would be a lot.
But the specifics would be seen once the people actually arrived.
"I'll just assume there are twenty thousand of them, and we have two hundred and fifty thousand small monsters, not enough to split..."
Yi Zheng felt a bit of a headache, then he beckoned the Groundhog King. Finally, realizing the height difference was too big, he simply jumped down from Zi Xing's head, and putting his arm around the Groundhog King, he said: "You do this first, and then do this #￥%...￥%*"
Soon, a large group of Rabbits followed the Groundhog King away.
"Boss, for such a trivial matter, just let those groundhog brats handle it. Why use our people?" Zi Xing asked, puzzled.
Yi Zheng calmly took out a Carrot, expertly cutting off both ends like a cigar, and then stuffed it into his mouth: "You know nothing. If we let the groundhogs do it all, wouldn't the Experience Value go to them?"
What Yi Zheng didn't say was that when Rabbits killed players, he, a Rabbit capitalist, could take half the cut.
They were level ten players, not level one players. Each one represented a lot of Experience Value! How could he let the groundhog brats take all of it?
After making arrangements here, Yi Zheng started scheming again.
Not long after, Zi Lu led five thousand Rabbits to ambush in the forest fifteen kilometers away outside Newbie Village No. 1. Once players reached the edge of the forest, they wouldn't be able to run away.
From here, they could get a clear view of Newbie Village No. 1, without worrying that players from Village No. 1 would detour and harass Yi Zheng's upcoming battle.
The remaining twenty thousand Rabbits were led away by Yi Zheng, preparing for a big duel with the players.
At this moment, Yi Zheng felt very excited, not just for the imminent big battle but also with excitement.
An epic battle involving tens of thousands of people would definitely be grand, akin to a national war as some countries on Earth, that exaggerated even minor village skirmishes, would claim.
And this time, Yi Zheng was the Commander, above ten thousand Rabbits!
The feeling was simply thrilling!
However, Yi Zheng didn't really plan to have a direct frontal clash with the players. His large eyes spun around, and he kept calling over thirty-plus groups of Rabbits one by one, giving detailed instructions.
"Zi Dan, how's the thing I asked you to make coming along?" Yi Zheng asked a relatively small but very plump Rabbit.
Zi Dan grinned, then pulled out a large ball from behind him. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a cluster of snakes entwined together, forming a Snake Ball.
Zi Dan said: "Boss, just watch!"
After saying that, Zi Dan threw the Snake Ball over two hundred meters away! As the Snake Ball fell mid-air, it exploded, and the snakes all opened their mouths, spraying venom, enveloping an area of more than ten meters around it with Snake Venom in an instant.
Yi Zheng was extremely pleased and patted Zi Dan: "Well done. Can all the brothers do this?"
Zi Dan replied: "No problem at all."
Yi Zheng then looked at a sturdy Rabbit: "Zi Dun, how about your side?"
Zi Dun didn't waste any words, turned around, and whistled through a leak in his mouth. The next moment, the Wild Boar King rushed over, and Zi Dun jumped on it.
Zi Dun took a shield from the Wild Boar King, which was actually an irregularly shaped wooden board with human player Armor inside, propping it up to make a shield.
Then, Zi Dun took a three-meter-long wooden stake from the Wild Boar King, which seemed to be a small tree that had been felled, with its branches trimmed, and a human player's Longsword inserted at the front.
Though crude, the thigh-thick wooden stake looked very intimidating and terrifying.
Despite its rough simplicity, Zi Dun effortlessly lifted the large, crude Long Spear with one hand and said: "Boss, although the Additional Attributes on human equipment are ineffective for us, the Defense Power of the weapon itself remains and can block attacks.
As for the weapon, its Attack Power is ineffective, but we combined it with a small tree to make a Long Spear. This weapon itself has no Attack Power, but it can transmit the attack during a charge. The attack caused is my own Attack Power added to the Wild Boar King's charge impact! The power is very remarkable."
After saying that, Zi Dun squeezed his legs around the Wild Boar King, and with a roar, the Wild Boar King charged forward. The crude, rough stake crashed into a large tree with a boom, snapping the tree instantly!
Yi Zheng grinned and asked: "Can all the brothers do what you did?"
Zi Dun replied: "More or less. The main issue is that it's hard to find trees of the same thickness."
Yi Zheng: "..."
Yi Zheng then looked at Zi Gun, a Rabbit with very long arms. Without saying anything, Zi Gun grabbed two groundhogs. The groundhogs understood instantly, and wrapped their tails together. Then, with a howl, Zi Gun swung the Nunchaku rapidly.
After a dazzling display, he leaped up, and a wolf charged over. The Rabbit rode on the wolf, swinging the Nunchaku wildly, snapping trees flying in all directions. After completing a circle around, Zi Gun stopped and said: "Boss, you can trust our assault team. We won't let you down."
Finally, Yi Zheng looked at a large Rabbit holding a paddle: "Zi You, how's it with you?"
