Chu Feng’s expression stiffened.
That did seem to be the case!
Moreover, all the dungeons Chu Feng had conquered had effectively made enemies of everyone.
Quite a few people were cursing him behind his back.
If Chu Feng admitted now that he was Chu Fu’s brother, wouldn’t some people think Chu Fu was atoning for her brother’s sins?
And wouldn’t they end up cursing Chu Fu as well?
Just as Chu Feng was hesitating over whether to explain, Chu Fu grabbed his arm.
“Haha, but who cares! If we’ve made enemies, then so be it. I’ll help Big Brother beat them up!”
On the map, people who trusted Chu Fu and Chu Feng began defending Chu Fu.
[Map]: “Whoa, a front-row group photo! The Starbane boss and the Plant Boss are actually relatives!”
[Map]: “Probably the kind of distant relatives who share a bloodline but are separated by countless branches of the family tree.”
[Map]: “The Plant Boss used to be in a vegetative state, too! She probably didn’t know anything back then. I’m guessing Starbane is just more familiar with her brother.”
[Map]: “Speaking of which, why have we never seen the Plant Boss’s brother join the Thorn Guild or play with them?”
[Map]: “I know! I’ve seen him before. The Plant Boss’s brother is incredibly powerful too. In the Future Map event, he was called My Sis Is the Cutest in the Universe. He’s absolutely a sis-con, and he’s completely different from Starbane. They’re definitely not the same person.”
As the rumor spread, Chu Feng went from being Chu Fu’s biological brother to her cousin!
But that was fine, too. It saved Chu Feng from exposing his identity in real life while allowing him to protect Chu Fu and stand up for her openly.
However, some people in the team began to grow thoughtful as they watched the heated discussion on the map.
Jiaojiao Bu Jiao suddenly understood.
Damn!
So the sis-con boss was Starbane!
Jiaojiao Bu Jiao had been the first person to come into contact with Chu Feng.
Not only did she have Chu Feng’s phone number and often ask him questions, but after rescuing Chu Fu, she had also gone with Chu Feng to purchase Wangxi Manor.
When Chu Feng had made his move back then, he had bought half the manor in one go. Where had he gotten so much money?
At the same time, Lu Xing had publicly auctioned off a guild token and sold it to the president of the Niuqi Guild. That guild was now one of the major guilds in Linjiang City.
Everything suddenly made sense.
Shen Chi understood as well.
No wonder the other person’s aura had seemed so familiar at the time.
It turned out that the person was actually Starbane.
As for why he had guessed it so quickly, that was because Shen Chi understood Chu Feng too!
Chu Feng took excellent care of Chu Fu. Although they usually didn’t play together, defending the city was extremely dangerous. As someone capable of providing the Poison Dragon Set and resurrection spells, how could Chu Feng not come and help?
Therefore, there was only one possibility:
He had already arrived.
Within the team, Chu Feng’s former teammates also began putting the pieces together.
Xie Lin felt his scalp go numb.
He remembered how, when they had fought the boss together earlier, he had deliberately blocked Starbane’s line of sight from the Plant Girl.
He had really done something incredibly stupid.
Hopefully, Big Brother wouldn’t hold it against him!
Chu Feng truly hadn’t cared.
Once he saw everyone change the subject, he stopped dwelling on it and refocused on the siege battle.
He took Chu Fu to the western and northern parts of the city.
However, the bosses had already been killed.
[System Notification: “Rocket on a Wheelchair” has slain the Death Legion Boss, Corpse King. All team members are rewarded with 3 free attribute points.]
[System Notification: “Who Are You Calling Blind?” has slain the Death Legion Boss, Corpse Crow King. All team members are rewarded with 3 free attribute points.]
The first wave of bosses had all been taken down.
Although Chu Fu hadn’t managed to claim any of the monsters, she still cast two more Black Death Disasters.
The Seeds of Calamity had gone wild today!
They had received the same tenfold amplification.
“Fu Fu, does this skill have a hundred percent success rate?” Chu Feng asked suspiciously as he looked at Chu Fu.
His little sister’s skill was far too powerful!
“Of course not!”
Chu Fu herself couldn’t figure it out, but she still offered a guess.
“Maybe it’s because the undead army carries too many death and darkness elements.
“My Black Death Disaster sounds quite similar to an undead calamity, too. So under special conditions, its amplification becomes much stronger.”
If that was the case, then Chu Fu could fight differently depending on the situation.
The Plague Disaster could be used against flesh-and-blood enemies.
The Black Death Disaster could be used against mechanical enemies.
There was no way to tell what the Toxic Disaster was good for yet, but Chu Fu felt that if she released it into water…
Heh heh heh!
Chu Fu already had six hundred Gatling Corn Elves. Combined with the release of these four Black Death Disaster skills, she didn’t even need to fight herself. She could simply wait and collect the contribution points.
However, there were simply too many monsters in the Death Legion—ten times more than the goblins.
In other words, every wave contained one hundred million undead troops attacking endlessly.
Just moving into position took a full two hours.
The siege battle’s time limit had also changed. It was no longer an automatic failure if the monsters couldn’t be cleared within twenty-four hours.
Now, they had three days.
But Chu Fu didn’t need that much time.
Any monsters that reached her would be instantly killed.
After two hours, the first wave of monsters had been completely wiped out.
The break between waves had been reduced to half an hour.
Shen Chi piloted his mecha around the battlefield, absorbing the equipment, materials, and copper coins.
The accumulated copper coins alone were converted into 3,000 gold coins, half of which had been earned by Chu Fu herself.
All the loot was scattered across the Thorn Guild’s plaza, where the logistics players naturally sorted it out.
The monsters encountered during the siege battle were all level twenty-one. The minor monsters only dropped bronze equipment, while the bosses dropped silver equipment and, at most, one piece of gold equipment. They were incredibly stingy.
The equipment could only be broken down into materials.
The experience, however, was extremely generous.
All the low-level players leveled up together.
During the brief intermission, a group of players riding bone dragons flew over from the horizon.
Fortunately, after the previous incident with the black dragon, everyone could clearly see the people riding on the bone dragons.
They were acquaintances.
It was the president of the Military Soul Guild, Laoji Fuli.
The Military Soul Guild had sent five thousand people. After rushing nonstop, they had finally arrived within fifty kilometers of Thorn City in two hours.
But even from that distance, they could see the black clouds blotting out the sky, along with the enormous rift that was constantly spewing undead creatures. The sheer number of monsters was shocking.
Such a massive undead army, combined with those towering black clouds in the distance…
Could Thorn City have already been destroyed?
Once the spatial rift stopped releasing monsters, he understood that the first wave of the siege had entered its rest period.
Naturally, Laoji Fuli didn’t dare enter the Origin-level dungeon within the rift.
He hurriedly led his people through the gaps between the black fog and entered Thorn City.
[8888 Server, Thorn City] [World Peacekeeper]: “Is everyone all right? The Military Soul Guild has come to provide support!”
The map immediately erupted in enthusiastic replies.
[Map]: “You came at just the right time. Though, honestly, we don’t really need the help.”
[Map]: “The bosses from the Military Soul Guild are all official players, so don’t say that! Welcome, welcome!”
[Map]: “Thank you for coming to support us, and thank you, Old General!”
[Map] [World Peacekeeper]: “You’re thanking Old General, but not Middle-aged General?”
Chu Fu also went to greet them.
Li Weizheng hurriedly asked her, “Student Chu, what are these black clouds outside? Are they a special effect of the siege battle? How powerful are they?”
