The night enveloped the land.

  In the eastern part of Starlight City, within the level 33 wilderness area known as the [Giant Serpent Forest].

  "Run! Brothers, run!"

  A shout tore through the night.

  A team of five players, around level 30, fled in panic from the forest.

  At the same time.

  Roar!

  With a roar, a level 33 silver-tier Serpent King BOSS chased out from the woods, opening its bloody maw and devouring a level 30 Priest player who was lagging behind.

  Roar!

  Roar roar!

  Summoned by the Serpent King, countless small snakes slithered out from the darkness, surrounding the players.

  "We shouldn't have provoked this Serpent King! It's over, we're done for!"

  "Someone save me! I don't want to die! Boohoo..."

  Just as the remaining four players were in despair.

  Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

  Suddenly, a rain of arrows fell from the sky, annihilating the surrounding small snakes!

  Following closely, a group of fully armed players, all above level 40 and seemingly powerful, approached!

  The IDs above their heads all bore the prefix [God Slayer].

  "It's the seventh-ranked team on the Great Xia server leaderboard, God Slayer!"

  "Great! We're saved!"

  Clang clang clang!

  Knight players formed a defensive line with their shields, blocking the Serpent King's venomous attacks;

  Warriors spread out, cutting down the small snakes continuously summoned by the Serpent King;

  Archers and Mages, empowered by the Trickster's War Tread and Wind Rush formations, locked onto the Serpent King and launched a fierce concentrated attack;

  Assassins teamed up with Summoners' creatures to finish off the enemies!

  Under the orderly cooperation of the twelve God Slayer players, they easily executed the silver-tier Serpent King BOSS.

  Roar～

  With a wail, the massive body of the silver-tier Serpent King collapsed to the ground.

  At this moment, the four players who had been chased by the Serpent King couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

  They all expressed their gratitude to the God Slayer players: "Thank you for saving us!"

  Unexpectedly, in the next second.

  If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  "Go!"

  With an order from the leading Knight, dozens of God Slayer players rushed forward aggressively, knocking the four players to the ground without a word.

  "Take them away!"

  The four were bewildered, completely unaware of what was happening, as they were bound and forcibly taken away by the God Slayer players.

  What puzzled them the most was that the God Slayer players even took the bloodied remains of the Priest player who had been devoured by the Serpent King!

  When they were brought to a remote area far from Starlight City, outside a deep and dark cave, they were shocked to find a large group of players like them, bound and kidnapped!

  The God Slayer players had completely taken control of the scene.

  These scattered players were all their captives!

  Hundreds of scattered players from various places were forced to kneel outside the cave.

  Under the ominous cave entrance, resembling a bloody maw, and the intimidation of the surrounding God Slayer players, the scattered players erupted in terrified screams and wails.

  "Where is this place? What do you want? Why did you bring me here?"

  "Do you want money or something? I'll give you money! Let me go, my family is waiting for me, they can't live without me, please let me go!"

  No matter how they pleaded, the God Slayer players remained unmoved.

  But they took no action either, as if waiting for something.

  Until a figure emerged from the darkness.

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu arrived at the location based on the coordinates from [God Slayer, Tian Ci], and was surprised to see the group of captive scattered players.

  At that moment, a young, charismatic Archer, leading the God Slayer players, turned around.

  Seeing the Archer, a murderous intent flashed in Dragon Soul Guan Yu's eyes, mixed with surprise.

  "God Slayer Tian Ci? Isn't his level over 70, and he should be in the third layer, unable to enter the second layer due to his level? Why is he here..."

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu quickly realized.

  "I see, it's the Suppression Scroll!"

  A unique magical scroll in the Sky Abyss world: the Suppression Scroll.

  When used, it can suppress a player's level.

  But it has a drawback: it suppresses not only the level but also the power!

  God Slayer Tian Ci's original level was 78, and he suppressed it to level 50 using the scroll, meaning he can only exert the power of a level 50 player now!

  Moreover, until the effect of the Suppression Scroll ends, the player cannot forcibly restore their original level and power.

  "To go so far as to use a Suppression Scroll to lower his level to 50 and personally enter the second layer!"

  "It seems tonight's operation is very important to you!"

  As Dragon Soul Guan Yu pondered this.

  God Slayer Tian Ci gave him an order: "Kill them, all of them."

  Following God Slayer Tian Ci's gaze to the group of captive scattered players, Dragon Soul Guan Yu was suddenly taken aback.

  The purpose of calling him here was to have him kill these people?

  But they could have done it themselves, why wait for Dragon Soul Guan Yu?

  Seeing Dragon Soul Guan Yu hesitate, a cold glint appeared in God Slayer Tian Ci's eyes as he threatened him with his daughter: "If you don't want your daughter to die..."

  Clang!

  As Dragon Soul Guan Yu raised his blade, the surrounding God Slayer players instinctively became vigilant.

  They were well aware of the value of this national server warrior.

  Fortunately, Dragon Soul Guan Yu did not defy the order.

  "Even if I don't kill you, the God Slayer players won't spare you."

  "Consider it a contribution to unblocking my account; when I become an Agent of the Gods and gain the power of the god of vengeance, Horus, I will avenge you!"

  "Sorry, everyone..."

  With those words.

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu, wielding the gilded World Shatterer, charged into the crowd.

  Slash slash slash slash!

  Amidst heart-wrenching screams and wails, over three hundred innocent scattered players were all slaughtered!

  In an instant, the ground was littered with corpses, and rivers of blood flowed.

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu's decisive killing left the surrounding God Slayer players in awe and fear!

  [Ding~ Killed 229 players, account hatred value -229000!]

  "Finished killing, what's next?" Dragon Soul Guan Yu, with blood-red eyes, stared at God Slayer Tian Ci.

  God Slayer Tian Ci, satisfied, said: "Nothing more, you can leave for now, wait for my further instructions."

  "Remember, if this leaks out, not only will your daughter's life be in danger, but you'll also die miserably!"

  Dragon Soul Guan Yu clenched his fists.

  But Lu Ming's advice echoed in his mind: Do not act rashly without his orders.

  So he sheathed his blade and silently turned to leave.

  However, before leaving, Dragon Soul Guan Yu intentionally glanced at the cave...

  As soon as Dragon Soul Guan Yu left.

  Under God Slayer Tian Ci's orders, the God Slayer players began transporting the bodies of the scattered players into the cave.

  "Cluck cluck cluck..."

  From within the cave came an eerie sound that chilled the spine, along with a terrifying chewing noise...

  Looking at the cave entrance, resembling a bloody maw, God Slayer Tian Ci's lips curled up: "Eat, eat more!"

  "When you grow up, don't forget who fed you!"

  Soon, the cave fell silent.

  God Slayer Tian Ci frowned slightly and sent a WeChat message to a friend marked as [Big Brother]: "Bro, we've been feeding it for so many days, hundreds of people every day, and it still hasn't reacted. Is it not full? Does it have such a big appetite?"

  After a while, Qin Feng replied: "A good horse naturally eats more!"

  "You must understand, it is the key for our Qin family to claim the number one spot on the Great Xia server and achieve a class leap! Feed it as much as it eats, and when it emerges, it will be the time for our Qin family to rise!"

  "Not just Great Xia, but looking at the whole world, you and I, brothers, will have whatever we want!"

  Hearing Qin Feng's words, God Slayer Tian Ci became excited: "Alright, I'll personally oversee this operation and take full responsibility! I won't leave Jiang Province until it's full!"

  Qin Feng: "Good, you're truly my brother, I trust you with this."

  "But this matter must be conducted in secret, no one outside of God Slayer can know!"

  "Understood, bro, don't worry!"

  "Oh, by the way, bro!" Qin Ci asked with some confusion: "I don't understand, why did you have Guan Yu kill these people?"

  "The Trickster by Second Sister's side is already dead, Guan Yu is useless now, why not kill him and his daughter too? To prevent future trouble!"

  "No!" Qin Feng said: "I have my own plans, don't ask too much, just follow my instructions."

  Qin Ci didn't ask further: "Alright!"

  Then, Qin Ci addressed the hundred God Slayer players present: "Brothers, you've worked hard these days! After logging off, if you want to wash up or get a massage, go to the best places and enjoy! All expenses will be reimbursed by the team! Also, your monthly bonus will be increased from fifty thousand to one hundred thousand!"

  Upon hearing this, everyone present was overjoyed.

  "Thank you, Brother Ci!"

  Hey, y'all! If you're into this novel, do come to to give me a hand and I'll be able to update it quicker over there. Thanks a bunch!
