The appearance of the hidden dungeon Shadow Holy Hall sent shockwaves through the entire city.
As the dungeon's location appeared on the map of Blazing Ember City, countless players followed the map's guidance and rushed toward the dungeon site in a mad scramble.
Because whether it was system achievement rewards or leveling event rewards, everyone had already seen just how generous the official benefits were.
This alone destined the so-called only hidden dungeon in Oracle's early stage to be unimaginably valuable.
And for now, no one knew that entering the Shadow Holy Hall required three Hearts of Shadow. Everyone assumed that once the dungeon was unlocked, they could just go in.
So every single person arrived with dreams of striking it rich inside this dungeon.
At the same time, inside the abandoned city.
[Map Announcement(Shadow City): "Ding~ Since the Shadow Holy Hall dungeon has been activated, the Shadow Legion will soon revive. All players, please be on guard."]
Rumble! Rumble!
Accompanied by a continuous bout of earth-shaking tremors, the moment the map announcement sounded, Lin Mo had already retreated outside the abandoned city at top speed.
Because he knew very well that to enter the dungeon, not only did one need the Hearts of Shadow as keys, but one also had to wipe out the Shadow Legion.
And with Lin Mo's current strength, he was not yet capable of dealing with the Shadow Legion.
Besides, "If nothing goes wrong, Wang Junjie will be bringing people over any moment now."
"I need to avoid this for now."
Sure enough, less than ten minutes later, a massive group of Chaotic World Guild players swarmed in.
Arriving at the same time were also many solo players from Blazing Ember City, as well as players from small studios or clubs.
But all of them were intercepted outside by Chaotic World's people.
"The Shadow Holy Hall dungeon has been booked by our Chaotic World Guild. All irrelevant people, back off immediately!"
With more than three thousand members under its banner, the Chaotic World Guild was imposing in presence.
The players blocked on the outskirts complained one after another.
"Chaotic World wants to monopolize the hidden dungeon? Isn't that going too far?"
"Yeah! The dungeon isn't theirs, so why won't they let us in?"
"Damn, Chaotic World has so many people!"
Under the intimidation of the powerful Chaotic World Guild, these solo players, or the small studios and guilds with only a dozen or twenty people, were dissatisfied, but did not dare to challenge them.
At this moment, Wang Junjie stepped out from the crowd of Chaotic World members.
Looking at the Shadow City in front of him, which hid the Shadow Holy Hall dungeon, he could not help but burst into wild laughter.
"Hahahaha! I was originally planning to issue a citywide bounty. Whoever helped me find the hidden dungeon of Blazing Ember City would get five million."
"This saves me money!"
As he spoke, Wang Junjie ordered the subordinates around him, "Guard this place. Don't let anyone else in! Whoever dares to come, cut them down on the spot."
"Yes!"
Just as Wang Junjie was about to lead people into the city, a sudden commotion erupted from behind.
"Brother Jie, someone is forcing their way through from the back."
Hearing the report from his subordinate, Wang Junjie's expression changed as he glared angrily, "Damn it! Who the hell is looking for death?"
The subordinate hurriedly replied, "Judging from their ID characteristics, they seem to be a guild called Dragon Soul."
The moment those words came out, the strategist Chaotic World Zhuge immediately analyzed, "The Dragon Soul Guild was the number one guild on the Dragon Nation server of the most popular online game Apocalypse before Oracle launched. Their guild leader, Dragon Soul Aoshi, is a prominent figure in the business world in reality."
"After Oracle launched, they all moved in together. The guild scale is not small. Their total number of players should be around a thousand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Junjie's face was full of contempt and disdain.
"Only that many people, and they dare to put on airs in front of me?"
"Who the hell do you think you're fooling?"
As he spoke, Wang Junjie shouted at the subordinates behind him, "I don't care who it is. Whoever dares to come over, kill them all!"
———
At the same time, outside Chaotic World's perimeter, the Dragon Soul Guild army was stationed there.
Countless bystander players nearby focused their admiring gazes on a tall, imposing, handsome young archer standing at the very front of the Dragon Soul army.
"Holy shit! I never thought I'd see the number two on Blazing Ember City's ranking list here."
"I can't believe the number two ranked god is such a young guy, and he's even this handsome! My god, he looks like Eddie Peng!"
"If only he were my boyfriend! I'd accept it even if it was just three seconds!"
Blazing Ember City ranking number two, level 13 archer, Dragon Soul Dusk.
Su Muqiu stared intensely at the front lines.
Before long, two Dragon Soul assassins rushed over to report.
"Vice guild leader! Chaotic World has refused all negotiations, and they killed the three brothers we sent to talk."
"They're trying to forcibly seize the Shadow Holy Hall dungeon."
"They're blocking us. Our people can't get into the dungeon. What should we do?"
Hearing this news, a fierce killing intent instantly surged in Su Muqiu's deep eyes.
"They dared to touch our Dragon Soul people. Then we'll step over their corpses and kill our way in."
"Yes!"
As Su Muqiu took the Spatial Executioner Crossbow from his back and entered combat mode.
Behind him, a thousand Dragon Soul Guild players all went on high alert.
Charging toward the Chaotic World Guild players ahead.
At the same time, Chaotic World Guild launched a fierce counterattack.
Players from both sides clashed in a massive, overwhelming battle.
Such a spectacular scene forced the onlooking crowd at the outskirts to retreat one after another, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Bystander A: "Damn! A guild war just like that? These two sides really won't give an inch! This is way too exciting!"
Bystander B: "Life is already stressful enough in reality. Of course you can't hold back in a game!"
Bystander C: "I heard the Chaotic World guild leader is Ning'an City's richest man, Wang Junjie. The cost of one meal for him is enough for us regular folks to buy an apartment downtown. Campus belles, models, influencers spreading their legs and begging him to play with them. What kind of pressure would someone like that have? He's just filthy rich! For Dragon Soul to mess with Wang Junjie, that's basically suicide."
Bystander D: "Not necessarily! Dragon Soul is the number one Dragon Nation server guild of the global Top 3 online game Apocalypse! Every single one of them is a professional-level player!"
Bystander E: "Oh? Then it looks like this is going to be a real show!"
Amid the chatter of the bystander players, on the battlefield, the fight between the two major guilds, Chaotic World and Dragon Soul, had already entered a white-hot stage.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Melee knights and warriors held swords and shields, forming solid defensive lines.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Arrows from archers and magic orbs from mages flew over the heads of the front-line teammates, raining down chaotically among the enemy forces.
Witches' crowd control and priests' healing were deployed across the entire battlefield between both sides.
Amid waves of agonized screams, beams of white light shot straight into the sky.
"Brother Jie! They say Dragon Soul's people are all professional-level players. That's really not bullshit! Their moves are insane!"
"Holy crap! I'm only realizing now how trash our Chaotic World people are? It's all two-for-one, three-for-one trades! How are we supposed to play like this?"
Looking at his subordinates panicking, Wang Junjie did not care in the slightest.
"So what if they've got skills?"
"Do you have as much money as I do?"
"You want to steal my dungeon? Then let's see how much your Dragon Soul trash lives are worth."
With a cold snort, Wang Junjie barked out an order.
"Call everyone guarding the Insect Nest Underground Palace over here."
"And spread the word. For all my Chaotic World brothers, every Dragon Soul dog you kill earns a bonus of thirty thousand per single kill. No cap!"
The moment those words were spoken, every single player in the Chaotic World Guild erupted in excitement.
At the same time, in a dark spot not far away, a pair of eyes was observing the entire situation.
Watching Chaotic World and Dragon Soul locked in chaotic battle, the corners of Lin Mo's mouth lifted as he reveled in their misfortune.
Because everything was unfolding exactly in the direction he had anticipated.
