章 31: So that happened…
After dealing with the first group, Kaden was halfway through the second group when the rest of the gang got the news and rushed to the scene of the massacre.
However, when they got there, the main culprit was nowhere to be seen. All they could see was the lush green grass sullied with the blood of their teammates and pieces of body parts strewn around here and there.
It took a solid 15 mins for the players to respawn and typically that was when their corpses disappeared too. So the scene at the forest was quite gruesome with so many of the dead bodies littered about.
They were hundred in total and yet this was the result? Their blood boiled at this realization. How could someone be so out of reach on the second freaking day of the game?
At this time…
"Hey! Isn't that him?"
A sharp-eyed member of the group spotted a disturbance in the distance, a flicker of movement amidst the shadows.
All eyes turned to focus on the figure, distant yet discernible, as a surge of adrenaline coursed through their veins.
With renewed determination, the players charged toward the figure. Their hearts pounded with anticipation, fueled by the desire for retribution and the need to restore their tarnished honor. They had finally found the person who was responsible for everything!
Without a doubt, this time he was done for. He was outnumbered and also probably weakened from fighting against several people. So there was no room for escape.
As the group hurriedly chased the single player, a few wolves popped up nearby which were quickly taken care of. No matter where the guy ran, they were determined to hunt him down. Nothing was going to stop them today from murdering this guy over and over.
Soon, they could see that the culprit's speed was gradually slowing down. This was it. He was not going to last long.
And just as they predicted, the hateful bastard came to a stop, heaving and panting. However, to everyone's surprise, he was also grinning from ear to ear.
"Welcome. Welcome. Welcome to monkey paradise!"
"Monkey?" Someone exclaimed loudly in confusion. The next second, everything darkened as a cacophony of screeching noises echoed loudly, making everyone dizzy.
Surrounding the group of seventy or so players were countless stone monkeys and from the looks of it, the beasts were fully aggroed to them and completely bat-shit crazy.
One after the other the monkeys started jumping on them, completely bombarding the entire mini-army. As if this was not enough, the big black dog was also roaming amidst the scene of terror and arrows whizzed through the air, finding their marks with deadly precision.
"Ahhhh!"
"This is a trap!"
"Fuck! We are screwed!"
"Bastard! You are going to pay for this!"
Several enraged shouts echoed in the air as chaos erupted. The once-confident players found themselves overwhelmed and outnumbered by the relentless assault of stone monkeys.
They fought desperately to fend off the manic creatures, but the sheer numbers and ferocity of the simian onslaught proved too much to handle.
Amidst the bedlam, Kaden reveled in the mayhem he had orchestrated. He hurriedly picked clean a few of the players, taking some kills for himself, not letting the monkeys have all the fun.
For someone who had led the city guards right into the bandit camp, this task wasn't all that different. While these noobs were just beginning to explore the world, Kaden was already well aware of the terrains and the beast territories top to bottom, at least in these starter zones.
Want to hunt him down here? They can only achieve that in their dreams!
The chaos continued for some more time as Kaden added a few more player kills and monkey kills to his tally. He was already well past the number of kills he needed to enter the underbelly but this situation was way too lucrative to leave behind.
He stayed behind and continued fighting until there was no one else left in the battleground. The entire place was engulfed in chaos and carnage.
The once lush forest had transformed into a scene of devastation and despair, with the bodies of players and stone monkeys strewn across the blood-soaked ground.
The battleground was now eerily silent, save for the occasional rustle of leaves and the distant hoot of an owl. Kaden alone stood amidst the wreckage, enjoying the sweet taste of victory.
"So that happened…" He mused as he looked around, unable to believe that all of this was his doing. There was nothing more sweet than when a plan worked and everything came together perfectly.
"Right. Get all the drops guys."
Stepping over the mountain of bodies, once more the trio energetically looted the corpses, by now becoming very skillful and efficient at this task.
Considering that a raid party of a hundred had been utterly decimated by him, not to mention the drops from the stone monkey tribe, the haul this time was simply astounding!
