Heroes' Prison

Chapter 357 - 349: Sand King’s Thunderous Rage

Huang Yi had once unleashed the Sand King during the scramble for Dragon City, annihilating 200,000 players, among them were the troops led by Ice Wind Water Soul from the Wind Kingdom. At that time, Huang Yi had also extorted two hundred million Gold Coins from them, and had sold the 200,000 pieces of equipment they dropped at the auction house.

The two had never directly confronted each other, but now, in a bid to escape, they were set to truly face each other head-to-head for the first time.

Ice Wind Water Soul himself wasn’t scary; what was terrifying was the ten million people under his command. If these people were to start a guild war and spread out across the various parts of the continent to target and assassinate members of the Hero Guild, the situation would be incredibly troublesome. Despite the numerous experts within the Hero Guild, they would be hard-pressed in such a scenario and the Hero Guild would inevitably be severely hindered.

Following that, Huang Yi immediately logged into The Second World.

"Instakill, over thirty thousand of our members have been killed in the wilderness today! I’ve already contacted Sunset to send his battlefield experts to deal with it." At this moment, Huang Yi received a message from Yi Feng, the head of the Operations Department.

Yi Feng, like the High Priest Prideful Death God, was a high-level executive recently promoted by Huang Yi and a Rare Class Holder from the Rose Prison. Before being imprisoned, he was the only person among all the members of the Hero Guild who had been a high-ranking official, a political figure adept in managing administrative affairs.

"I’m aware, and I’ll resolve the issue shortly," Huang Yi replied immediately. He had been receiving these casualty statistics from Yi Feng daily, pressing heavily on his heart.

Huang Yi checked the current Guild Contribution Points.

Guild Contribution Points and Guild Contribution Degree are two different concepts.

Contribution Degree is a concept that belongs to the players. For example, if a guild member completes a dungeon, putting in the effort, the executives would note their merit - that is Contribution Degree. Sometimes when equipment drops from a dungeon, everyone wants it, and then it comes down to who is willing to pay more Contribution Degree to exchange for that piece of equipment.

On the other hand, Contribution Value is a concept for the guild. Set by the system, it is a direct numerical representation of the guild’s development scale. Every operation, construction, cultivation, and other developmental activities in the guild territory can increase the Contribution Value. There are numerous ways to spend Contribution Value: upgrading the guild level, exchanging for Subsidiary Battle Flags, expanding the territory, and more.

In recent days, Huang Yi had Little Riddler investing all efforts into constructing the harbor, spending billions of Gold Coins every day, causing the Contribution Value to surge almost every moment!

Over the past few days, the Hero Guild had accrued an additional one million Contribution Points! Seeing this number, the corners of Huang Yi’s mouth lifted.

He had urged Little Riddler to devote all his efforts to building the harbor regardless of the financial investment because he wanted to accumulate one million Contribution Points as quickly as possible, otherwise, who knows how long it would have taken at the previous pace.

"Instakill! You’ve been hiding in the city for three days now! Why don’t you dare to come out for a fight?" Just then, a jeering voice came from the direction of Barbarian Tattoo outside Dragon City, reaching the ears of a million players within the city.

Over the past three days, this jeering voice would ring out at intervals, becoming an insufferable annoyance. The Sand King had repeatedly gone to the edge of the territory, warning those outside near Barbarian Tattoo, but to no effect. Instead, he was mocked by Barbarian Tattoo, and the Sand King, despite his power, was unable to make use of it.

"As you wish!" Huang Yi gazed in the direction of Barbarian Tattoo from afar, murmuring to himself, and immediately headed toward the direction of the Magic Tower.

Soon, Huang Yi arrived at the top of the Magic Tower.

At that moment, the Sand King was motionless under the War Flag, evidently asleep. Seeing Huang Yi, his scorpion tail shook irritably, "Instakill, when are you going to implement your plan? The noise from that vermin is too loud, I can’t sleep. Hurry up and kill him."

"Right, let’s go now!" Huang Yi nodded at once.

"So you’ve decided to take action? Good! Good! Good! I promise to slaughter that vermin in the most brutal way possible!" The Sand King shook his scorpion tail, the sunlight reflecting off it with a chilling glint.

Next, Huang Yi and the Sand King immediately headed in the direction of Barbarian Tattoo. Their speed was like a whirlwind, kicking up dust along the way, and they quickly reached the edge of the territory.

At that time, Barbarian Tattoo was right outside the territory, surrounded by a sea of Half-Beast Players who held him in high esteem as if he were the center of their universe.

Over these past few days, many Half-Beast Players had gathered here, some to witness the prowess of a Holy Domain Warrior, others hoping to see Barbarian Tattoo kill Huang Yi himself.

In just a few days, over a hundred thousand Half-Beast Players had amassed.

"Instakill, what kind of hero hides inside? Your guild is called Hero Guild, yet you became a bear," a player called out excitedly upon seeing Huang Yi.

"Yeah! Instakill, weren’t you impressive? Able to wipe out dozens of guilds by yourself, slaughtering hundreds of thousands in one go? What’s wrong, impotent now?"

"Stop yelling, that turtle won’t dare to come out. The moment he does, Lord Barbarian will instakill him—oh, no, half a move!"

"There’s no need for Barbarian to take action personally, just send his Holy Domain Mount, the Two-Headed Lin!"

"No no no, the Two-Headed Lin could blow Instakill away with a single breath; there’s no need for it to make a move, I can handle it myself!"

The Half-Beast Players began to mock Huang Yi, their hatred for him bone-deep. Now that they finally had a backer, they could let out some steam.

"Audacious! You bunch of ants, why not dare to come in and fight me?" At this moment, the Sand King erupted in furious thunder, retorting to the hundred thousand Half-Beast Players outside. His voice was so substantial that it stirred up the sands in the sky.

"Ah! The little scorpion is angry! I’m so scared!" At that, a mere level 50 Half-Beast Player patted his chest, turned around, and exaggeratedly wiggled his butt towards the level 195 Sand King.

"Don’t be afraid, this little scorpion can only shout from inside! It can’t come out!" At this, Barbarian finally spoke up, he casually lifted his arm, and sneered provocatively at the Sand King!

"Roar!" Seemingly in concert with Barbarian’s words, the ferocious Two-Headed Lin beneath him suddenly let out a roar. Its two heads opened their mouths, releasing two whip-like tongues that waved wildly in front of the Sand King, taunting him.

"Hmph! If this king were not confined to this tiny piece of land, you would all be corpses by now!" The Sand King’s voice was filled with endless rage, like a volcano forcibly sealed, ready to release and devastate everything should it be unleashed!

"Are you done talking?" At this, Huang Yi looked around at everyone outside, revealing a slight smile. "You all know, right? The Hero Guild is the only guild in the world that owns a Sub-territory."

"We know! You just got lucky, didn’t you? You have the Name Bestowing reward, and the Guild Hall gifted you two Subsidiary Battle Flags. What’s so great about that? If other guilds hadn’t spent their Contribution Points on upgrading their guild levels, Sub-territories would have already spread everywhere," retorted a Half-Beast Player, curling his lips.

"So, you all don’t know what kind of operations can be performed in a Sub-territory?" Huang Yi said, his smile suddenly turning sinister.

"What operations?" A timid Half-Beast Player who saw Huang Yi’s eerie smile felt a chill down his spine and tried to remain calm as he asked.

"Next, you will come to know this secret through death!" Huang Yi said, then turned to look at the Sand King beside him, "Sand King, kill everyone later, don’t let a single one go!"

Immediately after, Huang Yi used the highest guild authority and spent a million Contribution Points to expand the range of the Dragon City Sub-territory by fifty kilometers!

The next moment, the surrounding hundred thousand Half-Beast Players all heard a voice between heaven and earth—

"[Area Announcement]:[God of Slaughter]has upgraded the level of the [Hero]Guild’s Sub-territory, expanding its radius by fifty kilometers. From now on, this area has become the territory of the [Hero]Guild."

At that moment, everyone was slightly stunned, seemingly unable to comprehend what had just happened!

"Haha! I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time, ants, enjoy my fury!" Just then, the size of the Sand King’s body suddenly swelled a thousandfold, becoming a massive scorpion that towered into the clouds, and it let out a heaven-shaking cold laugh.

This cold laugh resonated like thunder, spreading outwards to all eight directions, and soon reached within Dragon City, heard by every player.

Subsequently, everyone in Dragon City turned to look in the direction where Barbarian was. They instantly saw the towering Sand King!

The level 195 Sand King, the absolute ruler of this continent, stood before them like a mountain.

The Sand King’s majestic form slowly made its way outside, like a deity descending from the heavens. Although his pace was slow, it locked on to everyone, and they couldn’t escape no matter how hard they tried.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" With each step the Sand King took, the ground shook violently, as if a mountain was repeatedly slamming into the earth. Dust rose into the air, shrouding the giant body of the Sand King, hazy and indistinct, instilling even greater fear.

"H-how can this be!" Barbarian’s complexion instantly turned ashen, his eyes wide with terror, staring up at the formidable Sand King.

And the Two-Headed Lin mount beneath him had already collapsed on the ground, shivering with fear. In the presence of the Sand King’s aura, it had no strength to resist at all.

"Ants, I would love to hear those words of yours once more." The Sand King arrived in front of the hundred thousand Half-Beast Players, looking down at them as if viewing a real anthill.

"Gulp!" Barbarian and the hundred thousand Half-Beast Players swallowed hard in horror, looking up at the giant Sand King above them, their minds blank. (To be continued.
