[Chen Tianxin: I strongly protest! A major BUG is bad enough, but now they've disabled the resurrection feature for players? What's the deal with that? Is it really just update after update weakening us players?]

[Wan Donglin: +1!]

[Hammy: +1!]

[Please Call Me Boss He: +1! Whose side are you game planners on? Draw a clear line for me!]

...

[Xie Nothing: Give it a rest. This game has always been like this, never caring about the players' feelings, and even indifferent to whether we quit the game or not. After all, once the third test is over, there'll be another thousand players!]

[Seeking Immortal: Do the officials dare to open up top-up? You open it, and I dare to spend enough for you to kneel and lick my boots!!!]

[Hammy: Cough cough... Everyone knows that you can't really quit this game, and I think that what the developers are trying to do is probably to make us take the game world as the real world...]

[I'm Just an Elder with Premature White Hair: Discussing this is meaningless. The key issue is how to deal with that boss in the newbie village... Who's brave enough to log back in and take a look...]

[Mo Tengyun: I want to go, but I have no experience left...]

[If You Don't Die, Keep Being Reckless: Hey, above, didn't you know that the developers are slow at everything but lightning-fast at patching? If you log in now, dying will cost you dearly...]

"A thousand people? A thousand people!"

Xie Biqi looked at the official website announcement, her body going limp in her chair.

At this moment, she felt like the mantis blocking the chariot or like an ant crushed by the overwhelming force, a complete joke!

She wanted to establish archives for all the players, but the players were too many, and the Xuanming Sky only had her and Li Ziluo as secret detectives.

As a result, besides gaming and working every day, she still had to sketch portraits.

So far, she had barely completed a hundred or so, and the rest were unfinished, perhaps never to be finished.

By now, most players had reached the Ninth Rank Realm and could slightly alter their facial features and appearances.

Furthermore, the official website announced that they were planning to add another thousand players to the game!

The workload... Just thinking about it made Xie Biqi feel like she was about to collapse...

"Is this what it means when effort can't match the trend? Standing at the cliff's edge, even pigs might fly, but once you go against the current, it's a hundred times more difficult..."

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Xie Biqi's mouth.

Inside the Newbie Valley.

Tu Qianqiu looked at the Resurrection Square, which had returned to calm, her face reflecting deep contemplation.

Then, she sat down in the center of the square, with her long sword placed before her.

"Elder Tu!"

The Three Elements City Lord, 'Liu De Yong', and the commander of the Red-Ear Army came forward and bowed reverently.

"I plan to defend this place. Dig three feet into the ground here... The secret of the undying strange ones must be seized by our Tianyuan Sect!"

Tu Qianqiu spoke coldly.

She did so many things, and avenging her disciple was only half the reason.

The other half was because the Tianyuan Sect was very interested in the recently prominent group of strange ones and was eager to peer into the secrets beyond.

Therefore, even if Jiang Shang had wanted to negotiate before the battle, it wouldn't necessarily have led to any good results.

"Additionally... Search here, leave no stone unturned, no house unexamined!"

Tu Qianqiu gave the order once more, looking on as the elite Red-Ear Soldiers burst into the Newbie Valley, breaking doors and smashing windows, beginning a carpet-style search.

Soon, they arrived at Er Ha's den...

"My lord!"

In mid-air, Er Ha looked up respectfully at Zhong Shenxiu.

"Uh, with this woman's help, the players' perfect resurrections have almost run out, and it's just the right time to roll out a new patch... It's also a lesson for them, some losses are better suffered sooner rather than later."

Zhong Shenxiu nodded his head.

The only thing that could make Er Ha flee the battlefield was, of course, his command.

"Now, you can go and drive away that woman and rebuild the beginner's valley."

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Er Ha had transformed into a streak of light and rushed out.

"This idiot!"

Zhong Shenxiu covered his forehead, his expression somewhat helpless.

He knew all too well why Er Ha was in such a hurry—the damned Red-Ear Army had been digging everywhere and almost found Er Ha's 'Ha's Secret Treasure'!

Those were Er Ha's treasured bones and dog biscuits!

Zhong Shenxiu even suspected that if he hadn't reined in Er Ha in time, the dog could have been lured away by the players with a few bags of dog biscuits to fight Tu Qianqiu to the death!

"Roar! Woof woof!"

"Put down my treasure!"

Er Ha roared and kicked a Red-Ear Soldier.

The soldier immediately flew back as if hit by a train.

The surrounding Red-Ear Soldiers, looking at the humanoid dog Er Ha, had expressions of intense shock on their faces: "Demon! Monster!"

"Hm?"

Atop Resurrection Square, Tu Qianqiu immediately stood up, her long sword in hand: "Who are you?"

"Remember, this place is where the supremely exalted beings aspire to be, you... must not offend!"

Ending his declaration, Er Ha bellowed out with a shout, "Hmph!"

The surrounding Red-Ear Soldiers of Ninth Grade Martial Artist level, as well as other Martial Arts experts, immediately had blood flowing from all orifices, killed on the spot by that Divine Skills' shock!

Tu Qianqiu took several steps back, her spirit inner landscape of a Fourth Grade Martial Artist manifested, remarkably resembling a towering mountain.

At that moment, however, this mountain seemed to suffer a violent earthquake, starting to shake and crack...

This meant that even her Martial Arts will could not withstand Er Ha's Divine Skills!

"Third Grade!"

A hint of fear flashed in Tu Qianqiu's eyes as she quickly retreated.

With a single step, Er Ha closed the distance as if utilizing some magic, and appeared right behind her.

In just the blink of an eye, it had turned into a chase, and they had already reached the entrance of the beginner's valley.

The Red-Ear Soldiers within the valley were wiped out, but 'Qingzhi Youming' as a captive, had just been tightly bound and taken out of the valley, ready to be escorted to Three Elements City, and even to Cangyuan County City for strict supervision, luckily avoiding this calamity.

At this moment, atop the prison cart, he, along with the surrounding soldiers, watched this scene in utter amazement.

"Ao woo!"

Within the swirling mists, Er Ha transformed once again, revealing the Majestic, sky-scraping figure of a wolf beast with black and white fur and deep blue eyes (from the perspective of the natives).

It opened its jaw wide, and its soul-shaking Divine Skills suddenly activated!

"Secret Technique · Bloodfall!"

Tu Qianqiu's body bled from every pore as if she had turned into a blood person, at the same time unleashing fierce Sword Qi to stab behind her.

Crack, crack, crack!

After a series of crisp sounds, her long sword was full of cracks, but Tu Qianqiu also seized the opportunity to land on the ground and spit out a mouthful of blood before desperately fleeing.

Er Ha glanced at her but didn't give chase. After all, his lord had only ordered him to drive away the woman.

Its massive dog head then turned to the soldiers outside, causing the elite Red-Ear Army to tremble in fear.

"Haha, Er Ha, you're forever my god! Well done, I'll add an extra piece of meat for you tonight!"

'Qingzhi Youming' burst into laughter, feeling as if his previous frustration had been swept away. Then, he saw Er Ha revert to his human form, paying him and the soldiers no heed, and headed straight back to the beginner's valley, which made him wail: "Wait, aren't you going to save me... I'm your dearest player, you know..."
