Chapter 1300: Chapter 1298: King and Red Armor

"The things we’ve dug up are about it, sir. Should we keep digging?"

The Undead Boss in charge of commanding the undead transportation team reported the intel and directly inquired Gu Xi.

"Of course, dig.

We’ve barely scratched the surface and got this much. You continue to dig here, and once the front line intel is passed on, I’ll switch the position of the main city gate to open and close the school gate horizontally.

Stay here with your men and keep digging for me as long as you’re around,"

Gu Xi spoke decisively.

As he spoke, Gu Xi briefly lowered his head to look down.

At this moment, the ground had only been dug down about six or seven meters.

As for the excavation range, it occupied only about a third of the original battleground.

There are many more places yet to be excavated.

Just this small area yielded such a harvest, imagining excavating the nearby area could lead to even greater finds.

Gu Xi found the thought too daunting to entertain.

Upon hearing Gu Xi’s command, the Undead Boss promptly complied.

He had no objections to not participating in battles, as he knew from the start that joining the transportation team meant dealing mostly with logistics.

However, he was part of the transportation team, not the excavation team, perpetual digging wasn’t his forte.

The Boss intended to relay his difficulties to Gu Xi, hoping for the assignment of some other undead to handle the excavation.

Just then, the messenger from Su Zhux, resembling a magic cube, flew over.

"Junior Brother, we’ve encountered some situations, can you spare a moment to come?"

"I’ll be there right away."

Gu Xi replied immediately, then told the Boss: "Dig carefully, don’t miss any valuable items."

After speaking, Gu Xi quickly signaled.

In the next moment, Gu Xi returned to the previous teleportation map.

Afterward, without further action, he was transported out by the teleportation map.

This was the kind of movement Gu Xi and his senior brothers could activate in this mini-game world.

Due to Gu Xi’s lack of experience, though, he had to revisit the teleportation map first before transferring to the respective location.

Otherwise, he should have appeared like Xiang Xiang, popping beside Gu Xi and leaving immediately.

When Gu Xi arrived at Su Zhux’s designated spot, he noticed a dozen senior brothers already present.

At that time, Su Zhux was drawing on a map.

Upon Gu Xi’s arrival, Su Zhux asked, "Junior Brother, did you encounter anything when you entered the enemy’s game world?"

"Yes, among the enemies, there’s someone quite cunning, able to make beasts employ strategy."

Gu Xi responded promptly.

"Seems you met them too.

I originally didn’t intend to summon you, but my forces encountered some issues at the front, bringing back some intel."

While speaking, Su Zhux placed the artwork in front of everyone.

"There’s a King among their enemies, probably hard to handle."

"A King?"

Gu Xi was puzzled, wondering about the situation.

Su Zhux glanced at Gu Xi, realizing Gu Xi hadn’t encountered such situations before.

But it’s understandable as he himself hadn’t encountered such situations earlier.

"Junior Brother, do you have leaders under your command?"

"Of course," Gu Xi nodded affirmatively, isn’t that obvious?

Without leaders, how would he send people to participate in the Legion Dungeon?

"Kings are those amongst players, possessing the status and abilities akin to leaders."

Gu Xi blinked, "Understood, a King is similar to a leader in the status of heroes."

"The status of leaders among soldiers, with two more levels between Bosses and Heroes.

It’s said that the presence of a King in the game makes most players willing to obey a King’s orders."

Su Zhux corrected Gu Xi’s statement.

"Does it mean, in this battle with this world, we’ll face worldwide control and retaliation?

Should we proceed?"

Gu Xi immediately understood the reason Su Zhux summoned everyone.

"We fight, definitely."

All the senior brothers exclaimed collectively, as though having little to do, finally finding something exciting, unwilling to miss it.

Seeing Gu Xi somewhat puzzled, Su Zhux smilingly said, "Everyone’s curious.

After all, a King among billions of players rarely emerges.

So everyone wishes to challenge a King, to test their skills."

Such is the notion.

At this point, other senior brothers supplemented.

"Moreover, this time we confront players, not human players, no guilt in defeating them."

"Right, since we’ve already antagonized them, we might as well finish them off directly."

"And I heard, Kings have the easiest access to Red Armor, even if unknown if this King has touched Red Armor, but it’s our closest chance to Red Armor."

"Indeed, just witnessing Red Armor would make me ecstatic."

"Wait, senior brothers, if there truly is Red Armor, could we be in over our heads?"

Gu Xi was rather concerned.

Gu Xi had clearly perceived the gap between Purple Armor and Orange Armor.

What if the gap between Orange Armor and Red Armor is similarly vast?

He certainly doesn’t want to be crushed.

"No need to worry, Red Armor intel updates yearly.

Since connecting with Nidans, we’ve been able to see their Red Armor count.

They possess only two Red Armor pieces.

Our luck won’t be so poor to encounter Red Armor here."

But Gu Xi seemed skeptical.

"Hold on, have you considered if Nidans have just one King.

If so, wouldn’t they use Red Armor to protect the King?"

Gu Xi hurriedly interjected.

Upon Gu Xi’s remark, all players paused.

They looked at each other, "Senior Brother Guang, you might need to consult the teacher.

First, communicate this matter with the teacher.

Let’s first ensure clarity on the situation.

If there’s no Red Armor, we can manage ourselves.

If Red Armor is present, then we must invite the teacher."

"Before the teacher arrives, we must prepare for the possibility of encountering Red Armor."

"Indeed, must not let this chance slip, Senior Brother Liu, go back to authorize, and disable normal departure from the mini-game world."

The implication of their plan is to shut the door and trap them.

Yet it’s reasonable.

After all, Gu Xi and his senior brothers have their own Death City, even without official channels, they can connect with the outside via Death City.

But Nidans lack such capability.

Once trapped within the mini-game world, they’d have no escape route.
