Chapter 1278 The Guild Collapses
Since the extreme cold wave passed, the number of alien beasts has decreased greatly, and then the Federation began to be in chaos again. The awakened ones found it becoming more and more difficult to maintain their lives.
The decrease in alien beasts has almost cut off the main source of income, and at the same time, it has also hindered the strength of the awakened ones.
Those Awakened who have a backer to reveal their influence are okay, as long as they are obedient and willing to do things, they are not short of money, but those Awakened who are used to freedom and join the Adventure Guild are all stupid.
The job of an adventurer is to stick their heads to their belts, and they might die unexpectedly at that time, so in life, they naturally enjoy themselves in a timely manner, living a life of being drunk today, and therefore These risk takers don't value money and don't save, spending whatever money they have.
However, now that most of the ruins are controlled by the forces they belong to, and they don't want to put down their stature to compete with ordinary people, and the price of goods is rising day by day without falling, adventurers have to pay the price for their previous chic, and they have no money , one by one almost stopped.
That is, when the Adventurer's Guild started the mercenary business, they were better off.
But only a little better.
After becoming a mercenary, the awakened ones have changed from alien beasts to more cunning creatures. Whether they are humans or other races, they all have the invincible wisdom of alien beasts. I don't know how much, but the risk is higher, but the money earned is not as much as before.
After a mission, half of the Guangguild's commission will be taken away, plus the maintenance costs of weapons, life and other expenses, the mercenaries can no longer be as lavish as they used to be adventurers.
There is also the task of accepting the mercenary guild. It is no longer up to you to choose as before, but now it is appointed by the employer, and you only have the right to accept or refuse.
When an employer appoints a mercenary, the first thing they look at is your number of missions, success rate, and strength.
This will inevitably lead to those mercenaries who have completed a large number of missions with a high efficiency, and it is easy to receive missions.
And those mercenaries with a small number of tasks and a low success rate need to spend time in the guild hall every day, waiting for the former to select the tasks, and then sell themselves to the employers of the remaining tasks to earn their living.
So after the supervisor shouted out the reward, the mercenaries present hardly hesitated, and all joined the ranks of attacking Chen Fang and Lao Suo.
There are no less than fifty new mercenaries, most of them are around the fourth level of the middle level, and two of them are at the first level of the high level.
Facing so many people at once, Lao Suo, who had lowered his strength in order not to reveal his identity, was miserable. If it weren't for Chen Fang to help him share the pressure, Lao Suo would definitely not be able to help but use his full strength.
"It can't be done, if I continue to fight, my strength will be exposed." Lao Suo said anxiously to Chen Fang.
As soon as his strength is exposed, his identity will be exposed, which will undoubtedly bring risks to the next plan. It is not a last resort, and Lao Suo doesn't want to do this.
Chen Fang was wearing a golden bell cover to resist many skills, and the sound of the bell ringing in his ears made his whole body uncomfortable.
"Then hurry up and take the map away, so we can retreat." Chen Fang said.
Although the sound of the bell was not low, Lao Suo, who is an upright person, could still hear what Chen Fang said. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can't reveal too much strength, so I can't break through their defense."
Chen Fang said without hesitation: "I'll help you, you can just rush in later, take the map and leave."
"I'm leaving, what about you?"
"Don't worry, I want to leave, no one can stop me." Chen Fang said domineeringly.
After hearing this, Lao Suo simply said, "Okay, then I'll go."
Speaking of the elemental energy on Lao Suo's body, the flames turned into a gauze armor, and his whole body rushed towards the map like a shooting star.
At the same moment, Chen Fang shouted loudly, the golden bell cover cracked and shattered, and the fragments shot out suddenly with golden light and screams.
Seeing Lao Suo rushing out, the besieging mercenaries wanted to stop him, but saw countless pieces of golden light shooting towards them like bullets, so they gave up the idea of attacking Lao Suo, and started to defend one by one.
However, the speed of the golden light fragments scattered like a storm is really too fast.
Many people were shot before they had time to use their defensive skills, and there was a scream that echoed throughout the guild hall.
Only a few powerful mercenaries released their defensive skills and blocked the attack before the fragments arrived, but they were still knocked back several steps by the powerful impact of the fragments.
Those mercenaries who were not injured by the debris stabilized their bodies and saw more than forty mercenaries lying on the ground, all of them looked like they had seen a ghost.
This is too strong.
The more than fifty awakened people present are all above the third level of the middle class. With the combined strength, it goes without saying that even a small-sized giant beast can turn over, no matter what.
But there were only two people on Chen Fang's side, and he himself resisted 70% to 80% of the attacks by himself. Not only did he persevere under their indiscriminate bombardment, he was even able to fight back, Not to mention, he directly killed almost 90% of the people in one fell swoop.
Even if those who were overthrown were only injured and did not lose their combat effectiveness, it was still terrifying.
"This girl's strength might be at the fourth level of the high-level, or even the peak of the fifth level, otherwise it would be impossible to be so powerful."
"I kind of want to quit, this kind of boss is not something I can provoke."
Some mercenaries had the idea of retreating.
The increased task success rate of 20% and one hundred gold coins are very attractive, but these things are not worth it compared to offending a high-level four-level or even a peak boss.
If you can keep the other party today, that's fine, but if you can't keep the other party, you will bear a grudge, and then you will live in fear in the future.
The mercenaries all had a reputation in their hearts and knew how to weigh it, so they all wavered and thought of stopping.
The supervisor has been paying attention to the situation on the field all the time, seeing the mercenary wavering, he realizes that if he doesn't do something, Chen Fang and Chen Fang won't be left behind today.
"The mission rate is increased by 50%, and the gold coins are 1,000."
The supervisor increased the reward.
The shaky hearts of the mercenaries became firm after hearing this.
"Done it, I don't believe so many of us can't beat him."
Under the heavy reward, the greed in the hearts of the mercenaries once again encouraged them to kill Chen Fang.
At the same time when Chen Fang blew up the golden bell cover, wounded and knocked away all the mercenaries, Lao Suo rushed to the map, and after flying a few people who blocked his way, he came to the map smoothly, grabbed the corner and pulled it out. The map was pulled down from the wall and immediately put into the space ring.
All of this was done in less than twenty seconds.
Lao Suo turned around and only looked at Chen Fang. Seeing that he was besieged again, he hesitated for a while, and did not choose to leave but was ready to rescue.
However, Chen Fang seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, seeing what Lao Suo was thinking, and shouted loudly without turning his head: "You go first, leave me alone."
Old Suo gritted his teeth, then rushed to the window next to him, smashed through the window and jumped out.
Seeing this, the supervisor of course didn't want Lao Suo to run away, so he subconsciously shouted out a voice for people to chase after him.
As a result, when he yelled, the mercenaries present didn't know what to do, and nearly half of them walked away with a whimper.
And the remaining half of the people who didn't leave were all slow-moving and thin-skinned people.
"Hey, those people are really shameless. They all feel that this is a hard stubble inside, and they don't want to touch it. They all go after that old man who doesn't look very strong."
Among the people left behind, some cursed.
They're all mercenaries, who doesn't know what you're thinking, those who go out to chase want to pick up soft persimmons, and don't want to fight against this suspected high-level peak boss inside.
A sense of risk is too much.
When the supervisor heard the complaint from the mercenary left behind, his face was so dark.
He originally thought that it would be good if a few people went out to chase after him, and it was not that there were no one outside, so he just wanted to call after he went out, but now it was fine, he just left halfway.
"How can a group of damned fellows be such thieves."
While the supervisor was angry, he also secretly groaned in his heart.
The strength that Chen Fang showed just now is a bit scary.
Withstood the joint attack of at least forty people, broke out once, and directly injured ninety percent of them, this combat power is simply too fierce.
Now there are only twenty or so left on the scene, and the supervisor is really afraid that he won't be able to hold back.
What is scary, what is coming.
After Lao Suo broke the window and evacuated, and a group of people cheered away, Chen Fang started to get serious.
In order to be able to leave here quickly, Chen Fang prepared to use his strength to suppress the audience.
The Tang Dao, which flashed with thunder, was pulled out from the battle formation.
An arc also flashed on his left arm, and the seeds of lightning were activated by Chen Fang.
Leaning forward and lunging, with Tang Dao at his waist, Chen Fang looked solemn and looked straight ahead.
A strong killing intent emerged from Chen Fang, a coercion descended on the audience, and the air seemed to freeze at the same moment.
Everyone in the guild hall was shrouded in this coercion, their chests felt heavy, and their hearts were pounding.
At this moment, Chen Fang was like a dormant beast ready to pounce, giving people the feeling that a fatal blow was about to be delivered at any moment.
All the mercenaries and guild staff guards looked at Chen Fang with full vigilance, as if they were facing a big enemy, as if they were facing a terrifying beast, they were very nervous.
Chen Fang maintained his posture and was accumulating energy, and the time passed by second by second.
He didn't move, but the people present didn't dare to move.
Because they felt that whoever dared to attack Chen Fang would definitely receive the most violent blow.
No one is foolish enough to be the first to take the inevitable swift first blow, so everyone is waiting for someone else to come first.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds passed, the scene was extremely quiet, but the atmosphere was extremely suppressed.
The supervisor, who had been observing from a safe position all the time, was emotionally tense in such an environment, his nerves were oppressed, and he finally became the first person who couldn't bear it.
"You go to me, what are you doing standing there, don't you feel ashamed to be so afraid of death as a mercenary?" The supervisor shouted, his voice a little hoarse.
However, none of the mercenaries paid attention to him, and even the staff and guards of the guild did not respond to his words.
But although these people ignored the supervisor, one person did pay him attention.
That is Chen Fang.
As if attracted, Chen Fang's murderous intent was aroused, and his ruthless and cold eyes fixed on the shouting supervisor.
The supervisor who was stared at by Chen Fang felt chills all over his body, subconsciously looked at Chen Fang, and then saw the pair of ruthless and dead eyes, and his whole body froze.
"Protect... protect me." The supervisor tremblingly said to the guard beside him, his teeth chattering.
But the guard dared not move.
Anyone who has combat experience knows that in this situation, Chen Fang will be like a beast, attacking anyone who moves him.
As for the strength shown by Chen Fang, none of the people present felt that they could withstand what must be the most violent first blow.
The guard is not stupid, so he dare not move.
Seeing that the guard had just rejected him, the supervisor was frightened and angry, turned around and slapped the guard with his hand, and then cursed viciously.
However, it was this slap, that "snap", like turning on a switch for Chen Fang, which made him move.
When Chen Fang moved, his figure disappeared instantly.
The eyes and pupils of all the people present except the supervisor shrank, and they became alert. Even if they didn't feel that they were locked by Chen Fang, they released their most powerful defensive skills without hesitation.
And at the moment when Chen Fang disappeared, everyone heard an extremely tearing sound, sharper than scratching the glass, as if the air was being torn apart.
When the sound sounded, everyone felt something flashed in front of their eyes, but it was like a hallucination, like an illusion.
When everyone saw Chen Fang appearing again, he had already appeared at the entrance of the guild lobby and was walking out slowly.
Obviously the move has been released.
It's just that everyone didn't know what Chen Fang had done.
Everyone subconsciously checked their bodies, but there was nothing unusual after touching them.
"Hey, I'm fine."
"I do not have either."
"Strange, why is this happening? Is that guy pretending?"
"I can't, the feeling he gave me just now is obviously more terrifying and dangerous than high-level beasts."
Everyone is very strange.
The supervisor was very annoyed. He checked his physical condition immediately, and after confirming that he was fine, he felt that he was being played by Chen Fang.
So the supervisor frantically pointed at the entrance of the lobby and yelled.
"You've all been fooled. He's just pretending to scare people. In fact, he has no energy. He just did that just to calm you down so that you can escape."
"Do you still want to increase the success rate of the mission? Do you still want a thousand gold coins?"
"If you want, then let me chase and kill him."
The supervisor yelled very hoarsely.
What the mercenaries said to the supervisor subconsciously felt that it was wrong, but after thinking about it, they felt that it made sense.
Could it be that the guy was at the end of his strength after defending and attacking?
It's really possible.
After all, it is impossible to only consume a little energy to persist for so long under the attack of fifty people.
So that guy might have been putting on a show just now.
The mercenaries would not be afraid to deal with a strong man without energy, even if he was an upright one.
So they mustered up their courage again and ran towards the entrance of the lobby.
But before they started to reach the door, straight cracks suddenly appeared on the roof of the guild hall where they were located. These cracks divided the whole building into irregular plates.
Then the entire guild building collapsed like a dismantled jigsaw puzzle amidst the screams of the crowd.
"boom"
Houses collapsed, smoke and dust lingered, and the guild building became ruins in the blink of an eye, burying everyone inside.
