"Look, there's a monster over there!"
"What a huge mechanical giant! How does a Level 50 Leader have forty million HP?"
"This is definitely the strongest Leader I've ever seen. I wonder what good drops we'll get after taking it down — at least Gold-grade items, right?"
"What are you guys thinking? It's clearly an Aberrant Superior Leader, which is obviously a tier above a regular Superior Leader. A regular Superior Leader can drop Gold-grade items, so a tier-higher Aberrant Superior Leader would naturally drop Dark Gold-grade items."
"Dark Gold-grade items — the entire Star Moon Kingdom probably doesn't have more than a handful of them right now."
At this moment, the numerous players of White River City had also gathered. The streets surrounding the teleportation hall were packed with people, all hungering after the Mechanical Slaughterer.
They completely treated the Mechanical Slaughterer as a field boss that could be killed at will.
Yet among this crowd of players, not a single member of the Zero Wing guild was present, because Shi Feng had long ordered that no one was allowed to come. It wasn't that Shi Feng wasn't interested in the Mechanical Slaughterer's drops — only he knew that coming here was simply walking into death.
"Guild Leader Weiwo, our people have arrived."
"Good. Now the Mechanical Slaughterer belongs to our Dark Star. Have everyone spread out — all melee fighters are strictly forbidden from approaching the Mechanical Slaughterer. Ranged fighters attack from maximum distance. Let the others throw their lives away. As for every other melee fighter, go after Black Flame — absolutely do not let him escape."
Although Weiwo Dukuang was shocked by the Mechanical Slaughterer's power — even the unmatched guards had fallen — such a powerful monster also represented enormous profits.
Dark Star currently only had several thousand people, but their army was rushing here, and combined with the other guilds and solo players in White River City, the final headcount would definitely exceed two hundred thousand.
Even if every person only dealt the forced one point of damage to the Mechanical Slaughterer, with most of those being dodged or deflected — with a base of two hundred thousand people, even forty million HP couldn't hold out for long.
Moreover, White River City's guards numbered more than a hundred. They would certainly send more guards later. One could say the Mechanical Slaughterer's doom was already sealed — it was just a matter of who could grab the drops when the time came.
At the same time, the other guilds also began to move.
After witnessing the Mechanical Slaughterer's power, these guild players also sent only ranged fighters to attack. The rest surrounded and hunted Shi Feng. Only those who had just arrived and didn't know the situation would rush in en masse to approach the terrifying Mechanical Slaughterer.
"Weiwo Dukuang really does care about me — at a time like this, he's still sending so many people to surround and kill me." Shi Feng stood on the rooftop, reading the situation clearly. "If you want to come, then come at me even harder."
With that, Shi Feng quickly moved toward Dark Star's army.
Although the Mechanical Slaughterer was being pelted by countless spells and arrows, most of them missed, with only a small number dealing the forced one point of damage. So the Mechanical Slaughterer's primary target remained Shi Feng.
Because so many players were blocking its path, the Mechanical Slaughterer began swinging its sword to kill.
Every swing of its serrated great sword wiped out swathes of players — the scene chilled all who watched.
But it was precisely these players that slowed the Mechanical Slaughterer's pursuit considerably, allowing Shi Feng to easily create distance.
Just as Shi Feng was about to reach the many members of Dark Star, the Dark Star members all wore cold sneers on their faces.
"This Black Flame must have lost his mind. Instead of fleeing in the opposite direction from us, he actually dares to run straight toward us. Does he want to die faster?"
"Isn't that even better? Saves us the trouble of chasing him down."
But just as the Dark Star members were mocking Black Flame for not knowing the meaning of death, Weiwo Dukuang let out a furious roar in the guild channel.
"You useless fools, run away right now!"
"Everyone get away from Black Flame's vicinity. Absolutely do not let Black Flame get close to you!"
