Chapter 995: Ten Thousand Poison Matrix

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Boss Happy, do you have another goal in causing trouble to Five Venoms this time? For example… searching for someone?”

They were originally two insignificant nobodies, but because of that question, Happy’s views about them instantly changed, and he turned around slowly to meet with two pairs of sparkling eyes filled with uncertainty and excitement. He said without batting an eyelid, “What do you know?”

“Over the past two months, we have actually been thinking that we don’t want to continue playing the game anymore, but since we don’t want Five Venoms to have a good time, we decided to cause trouble to Five Venoms before we leave. We’ve been taking turns monitoring the headquarters in Yangzhou everyday, and we’ve collected a lot of information, and we discovered certain strange things.”

“That’s right! We think that you might be interested in these things, Boss Happy.”

The duo’s mysterious words finally stirred up Happy’s interest successfully. “Go on.”

One of them looked around hesitantly.

The other one immediately urged him to speak, “What are you afraid of? Five Venoms is already in bad shape, and there’s no reason for us to be afraid when we can help Boss Happy completely destroy Five Venoms.”

Once he received this person’s encouragement, that person seemed to have come to some sort of decision. He gritted his teeth and said, “Over the past month, Five Venoms would always send a certain group of players focusing only on their occupations, and they will always come to the headquarters at the same time every day.”

“Players focusing on their occupations?” Happy furrowed his eyebrows a little, and he quickly sensed that there was something unusual about this.

“They don’t ever come out after they go in, do they?”

The duo seemed as if they did not expect that Happy would detect the critical point that they were about to say so soon. The excitement on their faces grew, and they nodded vigorously. “Yes!”

“It’s precisely because we found it strange that we paid attention to it later on. A lot of people would always appear at Guanlin Temple for some inexplicable reason, and all of them wear Bamboo Hats. Once these people come out, they will also head to the resource points outside the city.”

“Is there anything else?”

“Yeah. When we came back to Yangzhou City from Guanlin Temple, we saw two women walk out of their headquarters from Yangzhou right when you killed Proud over All Life. They’re not from Five Venoms, but we’ve seen them come out of Five Venoms a few times. They will also stay for a long time while they are there.”

“Did you ever follow them?” Happy put on a solemn expression.

The two women they mentioned were clearly the two Wild Wolves beside Proud over All Life.

When he linked all of this together, he could understand why there would be a large group of players focusing on the occupations in the game going into the headquarters of Five Venoms and coming out of Guanlin Temple every day.

Five Venoms provided a hiding spot for Wild Wolves, and they also provided sacrifices to create the Killer Star effect!

If he could obtain more information from these two and understand the women’s goal and mission for staying in Chinese territory, it would be great.

Right when he finished speaking, the two people across him shook their heads awkwardly. “Every time they come out, they will immediately vanish, and we are never able to follow them.”

Happy said nothing about that, but he did not find it strange.

These two were international mercenaries, and their abilities in anti-tracking were definitely very strong. Naturally, it was impossible for two amateurs in World of Martial Arts to track them down.

Even though he was disappointed, these two still gave him pretty good trails and helped him a decent train of thought.

Players who focused on occupations in the game.

Since Five Venoms provided Wild Wolves protection and the conditions for them to hide themselves through these players, then wherever these Wild Wolves moved, these players might also have to move with them. It was clearly not practical for them to switch to another large group of people, and if they did this, it would be very easy for there to be a leak.

A thought appeared in his mind.

Happy quickly realized that this was a good way to locate those Wild Wolves and force them to expose themselves!

As long as he could locate the movements of this large group of players, he could track down those Wild Wolves by following the clues left behind by these players.

Happy looked up and smiled at the duo. “You mentioned that you won’t reconcile with Five Venoms, right? I have a task here, and I wonder if you’re interested in it. If you do it well, I’ll give you each a Fire Qilin Blood.”

The duo’s eyes lit up, and they spoke together.

“Boss Happy, just tell us what you need, we’ll do whatever it takes to attack Five Venoms. It doesn’t matter even if we don’t receive any rewards! The key is that we want to kill more Five Venoms members!”

“Do you know those players who often go into the former headquarters in Yangzhou?”

“Erm…” The duo hesitated for a while before they answered, “We don’t know them, but we can ask around. We’ll know who they are once we ask a few people about them.”

“Alright, help me investigate where they’re going.”

“I might have destroyed the headquarters in Yangzhou, but logically speaking, this group of players should not leave their resource points. Think of a way for me to check the location of the Five Venoms players who left Yangzhou City. If they’re not around the area anymore, check where they’re headed. You can also tell me their names, and I’ll investigate.”

“Okay!” The duo turned around and were prepared to leave.

At that moment, Happy suddenly called out to the duo. “By the way, I forgot to ask you for your names.”

“I’m Iron Otter!”

“I-I’m Little Bear-shaped Biscuits!”

“Alright, your names are all very special. Go. Write to me when you have news, and you might have the chance to completely destroy Five Venoms.”

“Boss Happy, don’t worry. We’ll definitely finish your task with flying colors!”

“We’re leaving now!”

Once Iron Otter and Little Bear left, Happy quickly sent this information to Wandering Know-it-all and asked him to spare a little of his attention on this issue before he left for the port nearby. He was prepared to use the rivers to head to Nanking, which was the location of the next Five Venoms branch.

*****

It was not quite peaceful while he was on his way there.

His boat was sunk when he passed by spots with common reeds by the banks, and while he was on his way to Nanking, he was attacked furiously by eight waves of people. These people came from all sorts of places.

There were evil elites from Blood Alliance, all sorts of venomous insects from Five Venoms, assassins without emblems identifying their allegiances, and some players who shot arrows at him without daring to show their faces.

However, these people had clearly gathered together on short notice, and their main goal was to stall for time. They were not a threat whatsoever to Happy. Instead, they ended up as hundreds of corpses in the water.

However, these people did not end up with no success.

At the very least, Happy’s boat was now at the bottom of the river, and Happy was forced to travel on the road.

When he reached Nanking, it was already one and a half hours later.

*****

[The Prophet has finally taken action.

[Without the Prophet’s help, it’s impossible for them to guess that you traveled on the river, but this just further proves that those Wild Wolves might have gone to Nanking. You must be careful.]

[I know. It’s the same as the information given to me by my two informants. They told me that a group of occupation players from Five Venoms moved to Nanking.]

[When you’re in Nanking, you might be engaged in a fierce fight. Aside from Five Venoms, Blood Alliance, and Class One Hall, you’ll also have to fight against the rather famous elites from China’s Assassin Hall, along with Wild Wolves. This time, you’re truly entering a tiger’s den.]

[Even if it’s a tiger’s den, I must go!]

*****

At the moment he entered Nanking, Happy could clearly sense a grim atmosphere filling the city. The people on both sides of the streets stared at him with strange and grave gazes. There were also hostile looks directed at him from higher floors of the restaurants by his side.

Every single time he moved forward a little, he would have eyes trained on him.

Normal players could not identify him, since he had a Bamboo Hat, but these people did not bother to hide the killing intent in their eyes. Clearly, someone had already marked him and made him a very clear target.

Happy said nothing about it.

“It’s Happy!”

“Oh gosh! He’s really here!”

“Haha! Five Venoms is in trouble this time! After Happy destroyed the headquarters in Yangzhou and the branch in Zhenjiang, it’s now Nanking’s turn!”

“Come! Let’s go watch!”

“Let’s go see how many people from Five Venoms are going to die this time.”

When Happy saw that his whereabouts had already been revealed to his enemies, he decided to not bother hiding his identity anymore. With great ease in mind, he courageously brought down his Bamboo Hat, and while countless players cried out in surprise on the streets, he galloped away on his horse, and the direction in which he traveled was Five Venoms’ branch in Nanking.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

“Haha! Let’s go!”

Happy quickly moved through the streets.

As the sound of his robes fluttering was heard, the sound of messenger pigeons flapping their wings also rose nonstop.

Many players followed behind him.

It was as if the domino effect was triggered at the places Happy passed through, because when he passed by, entire streets would burst into commotion, and the people in the street would start moving, and very soon, they formed a long, creeping line that trailed after Happy.

This scene caused the people who were prepared to launch a sneak attack at Happy to feel incredibly gloomy.

“That bastard!”

“How conceited!”

Happy alone was already enough to make them incredibly wary.

But now, there was a large group of spectators following Happy. The people from various factions of power were alerted beforehand, and they had already lost the chance to attack Happy in secret.

Even if they arrived at Five Venoms’ branch, it would still not be easy for them to interfere with Happy’s fight against Five Venoms.

*****

Five Venoms’ branch was now in sight.

A large group of Five Venoms disciples were already waiting outside the branch. All sorts of high-class venomous insects filled the area outside the branch, and the entire place was filled with a thick, foul stench that could make a person nauseous. That foul stench came from the poisonous fog in the area.

The venomous insects that flew in the air, the snakes, scorpions, and millipedes that covered the walls, and the poisonous creatures that many people could not even name filled the entire Five Venoms branch to the point that not even a single drop of water could pass by them. The branch was like a huge poison warehouse, and it was a terrifying sight to behold.

Proud over All Life and a group of Five Venoms elites dressed uniquely stood in a row on the flight of steps leading to the main door.

When the people who arrived near the area saw this lineup, they could not help but suck in a sharp breath.

“Twelve Gu Poison Disciples!”

“My goodness! Five Venoms is going to stake their lives on the line now!”

“Ten Thousand Poison Matrix and Twelve Gu Poison Matrix?!”

Just when countless players were intimidated by Five Venoms’ lineup and held their breaths, loud galloping sounds were heard swiftly approaching the area.

Proud over All Life and his group had their expressions change slightly.

All thirteen people brought out an exquisite Gu Poison Box at the same time and held it carefully in their hands. Their eyes were fixed in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came, and they saw a man on a horse appear within their field of vision.

“He’s finally here.” Proud over All Life had a chilly look appear in his eyes. “Set up your formation!”

Once he gave his orders, the many Five Venoms disciples outside the branch opened their mini cauldrons in their hands.

A thick poisonous miasma instantly spread out, and it was visible to the eye. The venomous insects that crawled on the ground and walls around Five Venoms’ branch immediately became abnormally lively once they came into contact with this thick miasma.

The snakes and scorpions slapped the ground madly, producing clear sounds.

The venomous insects also increased the speed in which they flapped their wings.

For a period of time, the sound of insects buzzing and the sound of snakes hissing could be heard nonstop. Five Venoms’ branch turned into a ferocious amusement park for these poisonous creatures, and it created a ferocious presence!
