The Boss Behind The Game

On Insect Island, Liu Chai, who was fighting against the entire Orc Army, continued to dispatch more manpower. At this moment, his expression went through an abrupt change.

This was because Sun Qi told him over the live chat channel that Xiao Tian had arrived on Insect Island and had discovered their activity.

The news had upset Liu Chai. They had indeed underestimated the strength of the military forces on Insect Island. However, it was all too late now. His voice roared across the live chat channel.

“Everyone, split up and loot as many spiritual materials as you can at the given coordinates! Xiao Tian is back!”

Upon hearing Liu Chai’s command, Wu Guoyi and his peers promptly ordered their guild members to split up.

As a result, the player’s battle array was instantly destroyed by the orcs. A great number of forefront berserkers had fallen and the orcs charged directly at the mage who were stationed at the rear of the garrison and began the massacre.

Nevertheless, the players were no longer focusing on the fight. Each of them had picked a direction and ran toward the spiritual fields after they were dispersed.

“Howl…”

At this moment, a deafening wolf’s howl resonated across the whole island before the silhouette of an enormous blue wolf ran past at a high speed. Every player who came in contact with the silhouette was instantly set ablaze and burned by a blue flame before their bodies instantly melted away.

As the silhouette of the wolf relentlessly ran around the players, the number of players was significantly reduced. This had put the other players in an immensely stressful environment, causing them to despair.

“Our boss is back! Kill them!” the orc leader growled and the entire Orc Army had regained their fighting spirit.

Now that the war was coming to an end, Liu Chai and the teams were already scattered across different spiritual fields, finishing up on their final loot.

Any additional spiritual plants being collected now were considered as profit earned. Therefore, all the players had stopped fighting and raced into the spiritual fields to collect the spiritual plants instead.

“Howl…”

Xiao Tian’s thundering roar resounded once again. Three shadows of blue wolves escaped his body and dashed for the remaining three spiritual fields while he stationed himself at the end of the long vine bridge.

Xiao Tian was currently incensed. He had never foreseen himself being tricked like this.

Everything the Demotion Traders said about the man behind the curtain was nothing but a lie! The real masterminds behind this ruse were the Demolition Traders.

Recalling how Liu Chai told him that the hidden boss was longing for the other four Son of the Seas on this island, Xiao Tian was enraged.

Before long, the orcs that had been sent out earlier had returned concurrently and were eliminating the remaining players.

This time, the players could no longer withstand the onslaught. One after another, they were killed before they turned into black smoke and exited the game.

Xiao Tian, who had returned to the center of the island once again, was pained when he saw the damage done to the spiritual fields.

Despair grew in him when the orcs combed the entire inner island and found out that all the spiritual materials and the Son of the Seas that were looted by the invaders had mysteriously disappeared.

Xiao Tian controlled the Shadow Wolf remotely as he guarded the long vine bridge, intending to prevent anyone from stealing the spiritual materials. Despite the fact that no one had escaped under his watch, the spiritual materials had still vanished.

The news instantly paled Xiao Tian as he knew he was doomed to die!

The Sea King would never forgive him!

After he mulled over the situation, Xiao Tian peered at Sun Qi, who was still in his grasp, and relaxed his face.

This White Phantom was the spiritual beast of the world. One’s cultivation would grow by consuming its flesh. Therefore, it was as valuable as a Son of the Sea. He could only beg for mercy from the Sea King by offering this White Phantom.

Sun Qi, who was under Xiao Tian’s captivity, was flustered, knowing that all the other players, save for him, had been killed. Furious, he kicked Xiao Tian at his waist.

“When are you going to kill me?”

Xiao Tian was surprised when he heard Sun Qi’s words, “You can talk?”

“Both of us are dogs. Why don’t you just let me go!” Sun Qi said while looking expectantly at Xiao Tian.

“Dog? I’m a Sea Wolf Demon and you’re a White Phantom, neither of us is a dog!”

Xiao Tian was stunned, “You can speak? Are you a mutant?”

Similarly, Sun Qi was shocked, ergo he glowered. He was already sad to have been turned into a dog. Now, he was even seen as a mutant. If he was capable of fighting, he really wanted to have 300 rounds of battles with Xiao Tian.

“Do you know where the creatures hid the spiritual materials? I will release you once you provide me with an answer!” Xiao Tian asked, all of a sudden.

Upon hearing that, Sun Qi spread his arms wide, “Well, just kill me now then!”

Initially, Xiao Tian was going to bring Sun Qi to the Sea King. But knowing that Sun Qi could speak, halfway through the journey he decided to change his plan and interrogate him by trying to obtain some useful information. He reckoned that he might still have a chance to retrieve the Son of the Sea.

Just then, an orc arrived hastily to report a message.

“Boss, there’s a big ship at the port, claiming that they are the members of the Sea Trading Association. They have even brought along a token from the Sea King!”

Xiao Tian was once again infuriated upon hearing the news before he gave a loud shriek. He levitated into the air and flew toward the pier.

At the port, a green-skinned, round-headed man, with a pair of big ears and narrowed eyes, was waiting for something. At the speed of light, Xiao Tian descended from the sky and plummeted to the ground, giving the man a scare.

After recognizing the man as Xiao Tian, the man heaved a sigh of relief and presented the token from the Sea King, the Grass of Vanity.

“Xiao Tian, the Island Owner, I am Squid of the Western Trading Association. With the consent of the Sea King, I am here for the Son of the Sea!”

After he took a look at the Grass of Vanity, Xiao Tian glared at him.

“You punk. I see you’ve even gotten the Sea King’s Grass of Vanity. It seems like you will not stop until you have all the Son of the Seas on my Insect Island!”

Squid was stunned for a moment, “This Grass of Vanity is indeed authentic. Moreover, we the Western Trading Association, have spent a lot to trade the Son of the Sea from the Sea King. However, the Sea King had informed us that the Son of the Sea is with you, and you will pass it to us once we present the token of Sea King.”

Upon hearing these words, Xiao Tian’s eyes were filled with rage. He reached out to grab Squid by his neck and slowly lifted him up.

“It was the Demolition Traders before, and now, comes the Western Trading Association. You seem to be rather persistent, trying to push me into the corner with one scam after another. This time, I will not fall for it…”

As he spoke, the muscles on Xiao Tian’s right hand expanded. A crack sounded across the atmosphere and Squid’s neck was broken.

Squid died with a shocked expression on his face, not understanding what led to his death. I have certainly followed the Sea King’s orders and even brought along the token, but why…

Staring at the other traders who were scrambling onto their ship, intending to flee as soon as possible, Xiao Tian raised his head and let out a long howl. The shadow of a huge blue wolf appeared above his head and clawed forward menacingly, breaking the Specter Ship in two.

As to the traders who had fallen into the water, Xiao Tian ordered mercilessly, “Kill them all. Leave none behind!”
