While Shi Feng and Absolute Heaven were occupied with their bet, a bloody storm swept through Creek Town.
Originally, over a thousand Red Names had resided in Creek Town. However, after being slaughtered by the forty NPC guards and Zero Wing's 100-man team, less than 200 Red Names remained. No longer did these Red Names possess the arrogance they had before. Instead, they all ran and scattered in all directions.
Before the start of Zero Wing's crusade, these Red Names had always been the ones killing and plundering the equipment of other players. Not only could they earn a fortune by doing so, but they could also enjoy watching the frightened and unwilling expressions of the players they killed. Those times were simply blissful, and their continued success only encouraged them to travel further down the path of being a Red Name.
Now, however, these Red Names had finally learned what it felt like to be on the other side of the blade and what it felt like to be a powerless weakling.
Although many among these Red Names were experts and elite players, in the end, their techniques were simply insufficient to make up for the huge difference in strength between both sides. After all, no matter how fierce an ant was, it would never be a match against a mighty lion.
"Since Zero Wing doesn't plan to let us live, we should fight to the bitter end!" a Cursemancer appealed to the other Red Names when he realized that they could no longer escape.
Some of the Red Names considered the Cursemancer's suggestion rational, and many of them decided to cooperate with each other to retaliate against Zero Wing. However, just as they turned around....
One of the Tier 1 Elementalist guards launched a Flame Explosion, instantly killing the Cursemancer who had attempted to rally his allies.
Following closely, one Tier 1 Berserker guard used Flame Charge and arrived before four Red Names. The Berserker then used Whirlwind Slash, killing all four in a single attack. After the players died, a pile of equipment littered the ground around the four players' lifeless bodies.
Seeing this, the Red Names who had originally thought of staying behind immediately changed their minds. Without hesitation, they all turned and fled towards the Blood Hand Association's NPCs who Zero Wing had previously lured away.
Although they had the option of retreating from the town, desert surrounded Creek Town. They would simply become easy targets without any cover. Only by reuniting with the Blood Hand Association's NPCs would they have a chance for survival.
If they died right now, they would lose several days' worth of effort. Even if they had already familiarized themselves with the combat style of God's Domain, they would still need around four days to recover the lost levels. Not to mention, they would also lose a majority of the equipment they owned. These consequences frightened them greatly.
Hence, these Red Names ran desperately towards the Blood Hand Association's NPCs.
Unfortunately, the Tier 1 NPC guards Shi Feng had hired had very high Movement Speeds. Aside from Assassins, none of the other Red Names could outrun these Tier 1 NPCs. Moreover, faced with these Level 50 NPCs, the Stealth of these Level 20 Assassins was completely useless. They only had a higher chance of escaping due to their high Movement Speeds.
"Big Sis Aqua, we have really hit it big this time! The items these Red Names have dropped are all Bronze rank and above, with a majority being Mysterious-Iron rank! If we sell all of these weapons and equipment for Credits, we can buy a large house at the city center!" Snow Goose exclaimed as she picked up the items dropped by the Red Names alongside the NPC guards.
