Chapter 151: Chapter 151 Hearing the Tao [Four More Updates]
Zi Xing hadn’t reacted yet, when Tiger said, “To hear the Way in the morning, one can die in the evening!”
Zi Xing’s eyes lit up, “Right, we know where their home is!”
As he was speaking, Rabbits riding wolves one by one passed by behind Yi Zheng, the light cavalry had been dispatched!
Human players, no matter how fast they ran, couldn’t outrun the wolves, and quickly, one by one, they were flipped over by the Rabbits’ groundhog slap, leading to a scene of death and injury.
“Mahjong!” Yi Zheng turned around, grabbed a random tile, and slapped it on the Mahjong table as he shouted.
Wild Boar, Tiger, and Zi Xing looked at Yi Zheng with a confused face, as they didn’t know how to play Mahjong, they were just blindly playing along with Yi Zheng, but who just arranges their tiles, doesn’t even look at them, grabs one, and claims to have won? This was too much!
Yi Zheng, seeing the realization of his deceit in the smart big eyes of the three guys, didn’t blush in the slightest, but instead spoke arrogantly, “I make the rules, and if I say it’s Mahjong, it’s Mahjong. Pluck hairs! Hurry up!”
The few guys instantly wore a face of speechless darkness.
No one had money, so the losers had to be plucked, and how much to pluck depended on how ruthless Yi Zheng was with his hands.
For a while, the carriage was filled with the sound of pained cries and the sight of hairs flying all around.
The Zombie King driving the carriage whispered, “Skeleton King, you… you’re sweating.”
Skeleton King replied, “Don’t spout nonsense, it’s just old rheumatism acting up, a bit of seepage isn’t strange, right? What about you, why are you sweating too?”
Zombie King replied, “Don’t spout nonsense, I have rheumatism, too. Don’t look back, just drive properly, I don’t want to play Mahjong.”

Skeleton King: “…”
As the carriage sped up, catching up with more and more players, those retreating players who saw Rabbits playing Mahjong on the cart suddenly cursed loudly.
Chasing and killing while playing Mahjong?
They were weak, but this was an insult to them!
Meanwhile, the rolling Resentment coming their way made Yi Zheng’s gain filled to the brim, his big eyes blooming with laughter. He then casually threw several Bone Spears and summoned some Skeletons as rewards for those unlucky players, leading to another wave of Resentment and wailing.
The players, though trying hard to escape, did not have attributes or numbers compared to those of the Wild Monsters of Newbie Village No. 1, and ultimately, except for a few players with high levels and attributes, who reacted quickly and escaped early, the rest were all killed in the wilderness.
For a moment, streams of golden light fell onto Vermilion Bird City like New Year’s fireworks, a truly grand spectacle.
After Resurrection, the players looked at each other only to see helplessness and frustration in each other’s eyes. They had not expected that a battle they approached with such confidence would be lost again.
Before long, Madman also walked out from the Resurrection Point, his face filled with gloom.
Followed by Wang Mingchen and others, who came out one after another.
The group gathered together, not saying anything, and just sighed deeply.
After some time, Madman said, “Those Rabbits are too strong, we better avoid them if we can… The regional Martial Arts Tournament is in a few days. If we still want to get a good ranking, it’s best not to die again.”
Everyone nodded, and then they prepared to go out to level up individually.
Just then, a player shouted in the Guild channel, “It’s bad, all the Rabbits are heading this way!”
Everyone’s hearts trembled, the Rabbits were coming to Vermilion Bird City?
“What are they trying to do?” Although Luo Beibei was asking, his voice was trembling.
The others didn’t say anything, but they all had an eerily familiar bad feeling.
“Leave the city, hurry out of the city!” Wang Mingchen said, then he shouted in the Guild channel, “Everyone immediately leave the city, run away, and don’t come back. Run as far as you can!”
The others also shouted similar things. Suddenly, players were scattering like ants in a disrupted anthill, frantically running in all directions.
These players were practically going insane, having just gone through an unsuccessful mass escape; they’d scarcely revived, their butts barely warming their seats, barely catching their breath, when they had to flee again. What the hell kind of life was this!
Players who had experienced the desperation of Newbie Village complained internally but understood their leader’s intent. Those who hadn’t were still somewhat clueless, not understanding why these big guild members looked so downcast one moment and the next were scrambling out like madmen.
Kind-hearted players reminded them to hurry and leave Vermilion Bird City because the Rabbits were coming.
But these players still didn’t realize the severity of the situation.
“What’s there to be afraid of? The NPCs in Vermilion Bird City are very strong; those Rabbits, no matter how tough, can’t possibly break in, right?” the freshly resurrected Little Beast retorted defiantly.
Someone immediately responded, “It’s not that we’re afraid they’ll break in, we’re afraid we won’t be able to get out!”
Once these words were spoken, Little Beast, Monk, and the others also realized something was amiss and scurried out.
In no time, the entire Vermilion Bird City was like a scene of famine escape, with people running out as if they’d lost their minds.
But for most players, it was already too late!
By the time the players realized they should run too, the Rabbits had already charged to the south city gate!
Seeing the last player escape through the south city gate, Yi Zheng knew the chase was over. No matter how strong the Rabbits were, they couldn’t possibly fight their way in under the NPC guards’ barrage of gunfire…
Just as Yi Zheng’s interest in initiating a siege was waning…
“Ding! Present conditions meet the siege warfare criteria. Would you like to launch a siege war against Vermilion Bird City? During the siege, all non-player-hired NPCs in Vermilion Bird City will be withdrawn, and the city will be temporarily managed by players.
Siege success reward: To be determined.
Siege failure penalty: None.”
Yi Zheng was stunned for a moment, originally wanting to execute an absolute counterattack, when the system offered a siege war; damn it, “Let’s do this!”
Almost simultaneously, all players heard the system’s prompt.
“Ding! Newbie Village Boss No.1 has launched a siege war against Vermilion Bird City. The siege will last one day and one night. During this time, all non-player-hired NPCs will withdraw, and the players will take over the city’s defense.
Victory condition for defending the city: Resist the Newbie Village Wild Monsters’ attacks for one day and one night.
Defeat condition: Wild Monsters break into the City Lord Mansion and destroy the City Lord Token.”
Successful defense: Everyone’s Level will increase by two and, based on contribution, additional rewards such as Equipment, Skill Points, Skill Books, and game items will be awarded.
Unsuccessful defense: None.
The siege war will commence in one hour!”
Wow!
A collective shock!
The players, who thought they would be safe once back in the city, turned deathly pale on the spot!
“What the hell does this mean?”
“A siege war? Damn it, are those Rabbits really going to besiege us?”
Someone said with a crying voice, “We agreed to attack the Rabbits, how did it turn into a defense war for the main city?! This isn’t the right script!”
The Madmen and others, who were in the midst of escaping, also had their faces change color.
“What should we do?” Yun Ying asked.
Iron-Blood said, “We’ve all seen the combat power of those Rabbits; even with city walls, we may not hold out. Since we can’t stop it anyway, and there’s no penalty, why not disband? Let them have the city, and let’s focus on leveling up and treasure hunting.”
