Heroes' Prison

Chapter 243 - 238 Guild Challenge

"Hmm, it looks like I need to create a guild soon. Right now, I don’t even have a guild, and everything else is moot," Huang Yi nodded as well, feeling an unparalleled sense of urgency. Like Lei Shen, he was not familiar with economic matters, but that didn’t mean they would ignore this aspect. Rose Prison housed all kinds of talents; there were plenty of financial experts like Tang Yunfei, and when the time came, they could leave it to them to manage. Huang Yi continued as before, leveling up by fighting monsters to enhance his strength.

After hurriedly finishing dinner, Huang Yi returned to his cell and re-entered The Second World.

At this moment, he was in his Beast King Form, which had undergone some changes after the latest evolution. First, his physique had grown even stronger, increasing his height by about ten centimeters and making his muscular definition more pronounced, imbuing him with an appearance of raw power; his skin had also become tighter, offering better defensive capabilities.

Next, his senses had improved; Huang Yi’s hearing, vision, and sense of smell had all become sharper, as if he were the world’s most alert hunter.

Lastly, the flames on his hands and feet had changed again, turning green, like four ghostly flames from the Underworld, which appeared slightly terrifying.

Previously, Huang Yi would usually extinguish the flames on his limbs because they were hardly effective and not as strong as his normal attack power. But this time, he suddenly noticed something different: it was much easier to control these green flames than before. He could command them to adopt various shapes and shoot out, just like throwing fiery fireballs, akin to a Fire Mage hurling fireballs.

Though primarily a melee player, he now possessed the means for ranged attacks. However, the fireballs’ damage was nowhere near as high as his normal attacks, serving only as an auxiliary method.

This evolution had increased all attributes of his Beast King Form by about 3%, which wasn’t as significant as the previous two times. The increase in power likely shifted elsewhere, similar to his newfound fireball attacking technique.

"Call of the Wild!" Next, Huang Yi tried out his first racial skill.

As his words ended, several ripples suddenly appeared in the sky, and two strange creatures emerged from the void!

The first was a Hunting Dog shrouded in green flames, but it was quite different from the previous ones. It now had a horn on its head, acting like a flamethrower, continuously ejecting a long flame that scorched everything. Its body had also become somewhat more robust.

The Falcon had changed as well, still transparent but now with spikes protruding from its body, resembling a spiky bird. If it dived down and struck an enemy, it would likely pierce them like a sieve.

This was the first time Huang Yi saw an improvement in his racial skill after his evolutions. During the previous two evolutions, these two summoned creatures hadn’t undergone any changes, maintaining their original strength, which wasn’t very formidable. Moreover, they required Huang Yi’s divided attention to control, which could be a liability in urgent situations. Therefore, he seldom used them. But now, after their evolution, they could be greatly useful again, keeping pace with Huang Yi’s increased power.

After this brand-new evolution, Huang Yi found his overall strength had climbed another notch, leaving him brimming with power. It was time to do something big.

Firstly, that meant trying to create a guild, an urgent matter.

Huang Yi immediately used a Teleportation Circle to arrive in Tiantai City and headed toward the Guild Hall.

Tiantai City bustled with activity as it was the peak online period. Numerous players were enjoying the splendid night, and some couples were eagerly entering inns together, paying for a room with little delay. The Second World had all sorts of people, just like the real world.

Some were here to enjoy themselves, others to battle.

Huang Yi walked for a while, crossing half the city and moonlit alleys, until he reached the Guild Hall.

The place was deserted, with hardly any players; there were only a scant few capable of creating guilds at this stage.

"Hello, how may I assist you?" A waiter, seeing Huang Yi’s arrival, immediately greeted him with enthusiasm.

"I’m looking to create a guild."

The waiter began explaining in detail: "To create a guild, one must complete a secret realm challenge and defeat the BOSS to obtain a Guild Token. The secret realm challenges come in five modes: solo, five-person, ten-person, fifty-person, and five hundred-person," the waiter instructed, "to activate the Secret Realm Teleportation Formation, one must pay a fee of ten thousand Gold Coins, and there are no refunds for failure!"

"I’ll take on the solo mode," Huang Yi said and took out a Diamond Coin to hand over to the waiter. He had come to test the difficulty of the guild challenge, and it was quite possible he wouldn’t complete it; the ten thousand Gold Coins might be wasted.

"Ah! You’re too generous! Please, follow me!" The waiter was slightly startled, seemingly not expecting Huang Yi to agree so readily. He joyfully accepted the Diamond Coin and led the way with respectful enthusiasm.

The waiter brought Huang Yi to a room with a complex Teleportation Circle engraved on the floor, its meticulous design signaling a significant effort.

"Go on in!" the waiter activated the circle and extended a hand inviting Huang Yi forward.

Huang Yi stepped forward, crossing over it.

The next moment, a pulling force came over him, making his head spin with dizziness. Then, as his surroundings shifted, he found himself in another place.

This was a town with buildings housing approximately one or two thousand residents. At the very end of the town stood the tallest building, conspicuously prominent.

At this moment, Huang Yi stood at the entrance of the town. A group of guards not far away saw him and, without a word, charged at him, wielding their long spears.

Huang Yi vaguely understood this challenge. It seemed players needed to break into this town alone and reach the facade of the tallest building at the end, where the ultimate boss likely resided. Killing it would probably drop the Guild Token.

Huang Yi quickly took out his hammer and smashed it towards the group of guards. The guards were not strong and were all within instakill range.

After killing the group of guards, Huang Yi summoned his hunting dogs and falcon, concentrating on directing the falcon. It flew up into the sky and into the town to begin its reconnaissance.

The inside of this town was no different from any other in the outside world. People lived and worked in peace, the elderly sat chatting at doorways, children chased each other in the alleys, adults toiled hard, and youths strolled hand in hand through the gardens.

"Hmm, what’s this that dares to invade my territory!" Just then, from the tallest building at the end of the town, a commanding voice rang out. Subsequently, a giant screen appeared in the sky above the town, shrouding the entire area. Then the screen pressed down relentlessly, and the falcon controlled by Huang Yi was instantly suppressed by it.

Immediately after, all the town’s residents, whether old or young, rushed up and killed Huang Yi’s falcon, causing its field of view to vanish.

Clearly, the heavenly curtain prohibited flying, and Huang Yi couldn’t transform into a white dragon to fly over. He had no choice but to honestly walk in.

Huang Yi used a batch of magic items, improving his strength by a bit, and charged into the small town with his hunting dog.

"Give me your life!" The moment he walked in, an old man sitting at his doorstep, dozing off, suddenly leaped up with the vigor of a dragon and the fierceness of a tiger, waving his fists and hunching his back as he charged at him.

"Bang!" With a single blow, he was killed, and Huang Yi absorbed his essence of life.

After that, it was as if Huang Yi had lit a powder keg—all the people on the street noticed him. From eighty-year-old men to three-year-old children, everyone charged at him.

"Ah! How dare you kill my husband!" A woman who was cooking inside a house immediately grabbed a spatula and charged outside, roaring all the way!

"Ah! How dare you kill my father!" A mother holding a baby in her arms suddenly threw the baby at Huang Yi, using the infant as a weapon!

The whole town seemed to lose its mind, attacking Huang Yi, the uninvited guest.

"Judgment!" The next moment, Huang Yi also fought back, spreading the plague within a two-hundred-meter radius. The townsfolk rushing toward him began losing health continuously, some falling dead before even reaching him.

Huang Yi continued to move forward!

"Moonlight is the poet’s longing; wandering is for the return to one’s hometown..." A poet reciting poems discovered Huang Yi and, with a bizarre shriek, charged at him.

The next moment, Huang Yi crushed him with a hammer blow.

In this way, he walked on, killing as he went.

...

"Ah! Do you love me? If you love me, give me roses!" At that time, a girlish voice came from a garden nearby, which Huang Yi’s sharp ears caught.

"I love you, but I have no roses," a man’s voice came back.

"Then you can die!" The woman’s voice turned cold.

"Ah!" Immediately after, the man’s scream echoed, followed by a male corpse thrown from the garden, crashing down in front of Huang Yi. There was a large hole in his chest, from which blood was pooling out.

"Click, click, click!" Then, the ominous sound of high heels followed, and a woman covered in fresh blood walked out from the garden at a leisurely pace.

At this time, she held a heart tightly in her hand, licking the blood off it with a smile on her face that was lit with the gleam of blood. This

woman had an extraordinary air and clear killing intent, much stronger than ordinary people, likely a mini-boss.

Huang Yi frowned. He always felt that the people in this small town were too bizarre. When his falcon flew in earlier, it hadn’t triggered any reaction from the residents, who were all acting normally. But as he made his way, every resident acted so abnormally, making him wonder if it was a deliberate design by the system, or if there was some deeper mystery...
