Chapter 143 Ye Shen's Conspiracy
The rest fled in panic, completely routed.
That scene was nothing short of a complete massacre and humiliation!
Ye Shen, the guild leader of the Proud World Guild, not only failed to avenge himself, but was also easily wiped out by Lin Tian in front of everyone, as if swatting flies, losing all face!
Afterwards, he not only had to pay out of his own pocket to compensate the guild members for their equipment losses, but the morale of the team he had painstakingly built up also collapsed, and the so-called "Proud World Guild" became a mere shell of its former self, forcing him to temporarily disband.
This is an utter disgrace! This is absolutely the greatest humiliation Ye Shen has suffered since entering the Battle for the Multiverse!
"Boss, calm down."
Zhang Hong, a burly soldier standing nearby, picked up the copper coin from the ground and advised in a deep voice,
"That Lin Tian is a monster; comparing yourself to him is just asking for trouble. Let's take it slow, we'll get there eventually..."
"Slow down my ass!"
Ye Shen abruptly interrupted him, his eyes filled with malice.
"I won't swallow this! If it weren't for him, would we be in such a miserable state? We were already being suppressed by him in the newbie village, and now we're still being trampled underfoot in the main city! Damn it, don't let me get a chance, or I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"
Zhang Hong opened his mouth, but seeing Ye Shen's eyes practically spitting fire, he ultimately swallowed his words of persuasion.
He knew that Ye Shen's hatred for Lin Tian had penetrated to the bone, and it would be futile to try to persuade him.
How could he not hate it himself?
Back in the newbie village, I followed Ye Shen to cause trouble for Lin Tian, and I completely lost face.
Just as one was burning with anger and the other was speechless with frustration, in the shadows of the forest not far from them, the space rippled slightly like water, and two blurry figures silently appeared.
They are humanoid in shape, but more slender and tall, with skin that has an unhealthy grayish-brown color, like corpses buried underground for a long time.
Its body was covered with a simple yet ferocious bony shell, with sharp bone spurs protruding from its joints.
Their eyes were pure black, without any whites, and exuded a strong aura of the abyss.
These were the two henchmen sent by the Abyss Enchantress Superses—the [Abyss Stalkers].
They were sent by Superses to the area surrounding Sunset City to search for clues about Celia's whereabouts.
Because of the powerful defensive barrier of Luoxia City, which greatly suppresses the abyssal creatures, they cannot directly infiltrate the city's core. They can only linger on the city's outskirts, attempting to capture some "adventurers" for interrogation and to obtain information.
"Did you sense it?"
One of the stalkers whispered in a hoarse, unpleasant Abyss language, his dark eyes fixed on Ye Shen and Zhang Hong.
"Hmm, their strength is too weak, making them perfect for capture and interrogation. Hopefully, we can pry information about that 'lady' out of them."
The other stalker nodded, his figure disappearing back into the shadows, drifting forward like a ghost.
......
"Boss, look over there!"
Zhang Hong, who was sorting through his spoils, suddenly looked up alertly, pointed to the dense forest to his left, and said in a voice tinged with surprise and doubt.
"What is that thing? It looks so strange!"
Ye Shen looked in the direction Zhang Hong pointed and saw two strangely shaped figures, exuding an unsettling aura, slowly emerging from the shadows not far away.
It was no ordinary monster he knew; it exuded the oppressive aura of a BOSS.
"BOSS! It's a world BOSS!"
Ye Shen was taken aback at first, then his face was instantly replaced by wild joy, all his previous frustration and anger vanished.
"Hahaha! God has finally opened his eyes! We've actually encountered two bosses we've never seen before!"
Judging by their appearance, they might drop something good! Kill them, and maybe we'll get a top-tier item and catch up with that damned Lin Tian!
He could almost see himself slaying the BOSS, obtaining divine gear, and then stepping on Lin Tian, triumphantly triumphant.
As for danger?
He didn't even consider it!
Two bosses are nothing. Even if you can't beat them, you'll only lose one level if you die. You can get back up at the respawn point and be a hero again!
Players are least afraid of death.
"Boss, be careful, these two guys don't look like trouble."
Zhang Hong gripped his shield and longsword tightly.
"What are you afraid of! The two of us can't handle two wild monsters!"
Ye Shen's confidence swelled, and with a wave of his staff,
"Go! Same old rules, you hold the line, I'll deal damage!"
However, the ideal is full, and the reality is very skinny.
Less than ten seconds into the battle, Ye Shen and Zhang Hong were plunged into utter despair.
Zhang Hong roared and activated [Charge], trying to draw aggro, but his shield didn't even touch any of the rogues.
With a casual wave of his hand, a dark energy whip flashed past, and Zhang Hong was struck as if by a battering ram.
He was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into a large tree. Two-thirds of his health bar disappeared instantly, and he fell into a brief state of dizziness.
"How is that possible?!"
Ye Shen's pupils contracted sharply, and he subconsciously began chanting a fireball spell.
But just as his staff glowed red, another rogue appeared in front of him as if teleported.
A cold, bony hand covered in bone armor had already gripped his throat, lifting him abruptly from the ground!
The powerful force almost suffocated him, the spell was forcibly interrupted, and his whole body stiffened, unable to move even a finger.
His prized magic shield crumbled at the slightest touch, like a bubble.
The difference in strength is too great! They're not even on the same level!
"You ants, be quiet."
The stalker who had Ye Shen pinned down emitted a cold, icy thought, his dark eyes devoid of any emotion.
Another stalker walked up to Zhang Hong, who was struggling to get up, and stepped on his chest.
The bone spurs nearly pierced his breastplate, causing him to spit out another mouthful of blood and completely lose the ability to resist.
"What...what are you?!" Ye Shen managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief.
This is no ordinary boss!
"You don't need to know who we are."
The stalker who had him pinned down said coldly,
Now, I will ask, and you will answer. If the answers satisfy us, perhaps we can spare your lives.
"Dream on! If you've got the guts, kill me!"
Before the words were even finished, it slightly increased the pressure on its feet, and Zhang Hong immediately let out a shrill scream. His breastplate made a teeth-grinding twisting sound, and his health bar dropped another notch at a visible speed.
The intense pain almost made him faint.
At the same time, the stalker who was holding Ye Shen captive used his other hand, his fingers like sharp daggers, to slowly slice across Ye Shen's cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
The icy abyssal energy, like countless fine needles, pierced through the wound, bringing a deep, bone-chilling pain that felt as if the very soul was being torn apart.
Ye Shen and Zhang Hong's faces instantly turned ashen.
