Shen Chi did not let any of them get out.
He piloted the wolf-type mecha and charged straight in.
Its massive claws slammed down, sending the twenty-meter-tall juvenile Titan staggering as the earth shook.
Then he reached in with both hands.
The opponent’s heart was ripped out.
The scene was extremely bloody.
But the damage dealt was tremendous.
There was no need for Chu Fu or the others to intervene. Shen Chi had dealt with it on his own.
Feng Huimin watched from the side and calculated the damage.
Then her communicator began sending out group messages.
Although she was personally in charge of the Fourth Branch, she still handled all the personnel assignments.
“Exclude Huaxia’s territory. Form fifty-person teams and disperse them across the world. Preferably send them to smaller countries with sparse populations.”
“Each guild can currently form four hundred teams. Try to complete the mission within a day.”
Feng Huimin continuously organized teams and dispatched groups. This was even more difficult than organizing a direct battle.
During a major war, all she had to do was blow the horn, and every player would follow her orders.
Now, she could only rely on guild notices and group messages.
Feng Huimin was effectively managing more than a hundred groups.
She worked at an intense pace.
Before long, the Bramble Guild’s players had scattered across the world.
…
Onyx City.
One of the island nations in Oceania, it had a population of only one hundred thousand and just a single server.
Moreover, once the ten districts had been established, no new districts were opened.
There were currently only 143 level-30 players.
And because the population was small, there were few talented players, making dungeon clears extremely difficult.
As a result, they had no money.
Most players possessed only a few pieces of gold equipment. The rest of their gear was level-30 silver equipment.
Previously, whenever they came here to level up, they had to band together for warmth. A party of fewer than twenty people had no chance of dealing with level-30 monsters.
But today, after the death of Werewolf Tuge, the combat power of beast-type creatures had been reduced by half. Leveling up had finally become a little easier!
As they were fighting monsters, the ground suddenly began to tremble.
“Is a boss showing up this early today? Get back to the city!”
“Damn, it’s an Elder Titan! The city’s going to be demolished again!”
“Teleport away quickly, or we won’t be able to level up today!”
“Do you think teleportation is free? It’s so expensive! I’m out of gold!”
The players were utterly helpless.
It was bad enough that their country was small. Even in the game, things were this difficult.
Just as they were thinking this, the teleportation array suddenly began to flash with white light.
A group of players appeared.
The melee players were all equipped in complete sets of Savage Dark Gold gear, while the magic users wore black robes of the Dark Gold rank.
They marched through in neat formation. The radiance and afterimages from their equipment were so dazzling that the eyes of the small nation’s players hurt.
Boom!
The seventy-meter-tall Elder Titan viciously smashed the towering tree in its hands against the city wall.
Cracks immediately spread across the wall.
A level-40 Titan stood a full seventy meters tall and possessed astonishing combat power. A single Titan could destroy an entire city, to say nothing of Onyx Island, which was tiny to begin with.
“Pretty lucky. We just got here and already found a Titan. Brothers, attack!”
“Only seventy meters? I’ve fought a hundred-meter werewolf before!”
“Slow down and wait for the tanks! Are you planning to tank the monster yourselves?”
“I have a thousand points in Constitution. What do I have to fear?”
A crowd surged forward and surrounded the Titan.
Under their overwhelming advantage in attributes, the Titan fell to the ground in less than ten minutes.
Equipment spilled everywhere.
The equipment dropped by a seventy-meter Titan consisted of Dark Gold gear with attributes close to level 40—but there was only one such item, along with seven or eight pieces of gold equipment.
All of it was far better than the level-20 Goblin sets.
After an internal auction, everyone replaced their gear.
Then the group climbed onto the Titan’s corpse and began cutting it apart.
The scene was extremely bloody and violent.
But the Bramble Guild’s players followed one principle above all: waste nothing.
The guild even had a Little Pig-Raising Expert. By turning in the corpses of various exotic beasts to the guild warehouse, players could earn guild contribution points.
Most importantly, these exotic beast corpses also counted toward the guild’s twenty-percent cut. To them, it was practically free profit.
The players from Onyx Island stared at the group, so shocked that their jaws nearly hit the ground.
Was it really this easy?
Hadn’t it taken more than twenty teams, with over a thousand people working together, to bring down these Titans?
Scenes like this played out one after another across the small countries overseas.
Before long, one guild became famous.
The Bramble Guild.
An immensely powerful guild from Huaxia.
The guild killed Titans, while the players of these small countries could level up safely. It was mutually beneficial.
With so many people working together, one hundred Titan Hearts were soon collected.
Even the Second, Third, and Fourth Branches had gathered all they needed.
Chu Fu submitted the Titan Hearts and completed the guild promotion.
Jiaojiao Not Delicate, Suture Saint, and Feng Huimin submitted theirs as well.
Thus, all four guilds reached level four, giving them a combined capacity of 160,000 players.
Chu Fu then checked the mandatory quest for a level-five guild.
As expected, it required them to kill Elemental Spirits and collect Elemental Hearts.
Quantity: 500!
Elemental Spirits killed by other people did not count.
Chu Fu and the others did not linger long in the level-30-to-40 maps before turning toward the level-40-to-50 maps.
However, Chu Feng, who had already reached level 45, was now grinding monsters in maps for players above level 60.
He was always at the forefront, leading all other players by three versions.
But Chu Fu was not anxious.
She felt that her current approach was fine too. She was steadily building her strength, and she had already led 2.7 million players worldwide to kill a Divine Envoy.
They had ruthlessly milked the system for a wave of rewards.
In the timeline when Chu Feng was the protagonist, she had defeated the boss alone and obtained a reward of 1,000 points in every attribute.
What an enormous difference that was!
She had missed out on a full 2.7 billion points in total attributes by not freeloading off those rewards.
Of course, Chu Fu understood Chu Feng. As a lone wolf, he was satisfied as long as he got the rewards himself and had no concern for whether others lived or died.
Even Chu Fu herself did not really want those countries harboring ulterior motives to freeload off the attribute rewards.
She was generous, but not that generous.
…
Time passed quietly.
One week later.
Everyone in the Analysis Bureau’s main hall was busy.
Time since the game opened: 72 days.
“All wolf-type creatures in the cities and zoos have been brought under control. Personnel have been stationed in the mountainous regions.”
“We’re currently monitoring them for signs of mutation.”
“Mutation detected!”
“Wait, Director! Someone has reported that their dog has grown enormous!”
The expressions of everyone in the Analysis Bureau suddenly changed.
The fourth animal synchronized by the Primordial Gate was the wolf!
If it had only been monsters like those, there would have been no need to worry. After all, they were creatures of the wilderness.
But what if these mutated creatures turned out to be dogs?
How many dogs were there across the world?
And Huaxia had far too many dogs.
“Quick, issue an announcement and open a hotline. The moment an incident involving a mutated dog biting someone is reported, deal with it immediately.”
“Clear out all stray dogs and establish dog-control squads.”
“Quickly! Everyone who owns a dog must be monitored by their local community and placed under separate isolation.”
Everyone’s expression was tense.
They felt that the world might descend into chaos at any moment.
The announcement was sent out.
Linjiang City received the notice as well.
Li Weizheng was just about to pass the message on when, in the next instant, someone rushed up directly in front of him.
“I don’t agree! I have a way—don’t kill those dogs!”
