From A Stronghold NPC To The Final BOSS

Chapter 51: Training

For the entire journey so far, whenever they ran into players, they killed them all.

As they watched the number of players slowly increase, Xu Yuanming and Niu Feng finally felt the pressure.

All these outlanders, they killed more and more of them.

“Chieftain, these outlanders seem like they want to attack us. What should we do?” Xu Yuanming looked out at where a number of players had gathered and his expression became stern as well.

Outlanders weren’t very powerful in general.

But if they were to be surrounded by outlanders continuously for a long time, then even someone like him could only try to avoid any clash for the time being.

This was also why several different powers wanted to join hands.

“Don’t bother with them. If outlanders gather, then send someone to kill them and force them to scatter.

Of course, Qin Shujian had noticed the change in the players.

But as the saying goes, those who are powerful are naturally bolder.

Given his current capabilities, as long as those players hadn’t risen in level, it was very difficult for them to pose a threat to him.

On the contrary, he was more than happy to watch these players voluntarily throw themselves into the fire.

After all, every time the players revived, they lose one Martial Entry Level.

This was actually helping to whittle the players down themselves.

By the time Liangshan Stronghold fought against Messy Stone Fores players, they would face a little less resistance.

On the other side, after the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain news spread, many players had already found traces of Mountain Bandits getting into teams.

There was no other choice.

These teams had so many people because their target was a little too difficult.

On top of that, there were so many players, and they practically covered all of Messy Stone Forest. It wasn’t easy for all these people to go unnoticed.

Besides, Qin Shujian didn’t intend to hide anyway. He continued to just move along boldly as he massacred players without caring, so the target was even more apparent.

“That’s the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain?” A player stood quite a distance away and looked at the team of Mountain Bandits, as well as Qin Shujian walking majestically like a king while being surrounded by the rest of the team, and he recognized the other party immediately.

After all, the video from Starter Village #10021 had been uploaded to the forums.

The face of the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain was no secret. It’s just that nobody really bothered to remember it.

But now that they knew the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain had appeared, many people went back to the forums to look at this incident again and had a deep understanding of this Boss.

But, besides the most eye-catching Qin Shujian.

Xu Yuanming and Niu Feng were on Qin Shujian’s left and right, and they also drew quite a bit of attention themselves.

“That’s...that looks like Mount Mingai’s Mountain Thief Boss, right?” One of the players was a little unsure as he said this.

“It does really look like him. And isn’t that Chuanyun Stronghold’s Mountain Thief boss?”

“It’s him. I’ve seen him once before.”

“Oh no! Don’t tell me this Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain has managed to absorb even Chuanyun Stronghold and Mount Mingai?”

Many players immediately took a deep breath of cold air.

These were the few major Mountain Thief powers of Messy Stone Forest.

Mount Mingai and Chuanyun Stronghold were both zones where these players were all hoping to be able to get through.

But these areas didn’t just have a mighty Boss. The Boss also had a lot of subordinates under them.

The current power of the players found it very difficult to get through these areas with just one team.

However, quite a number made it to Niu Feng and Xu Yuanming, so they were very familiar with these two Mountain Thief Bosses.

One Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain was already very difficult to handle.

Now there were two more Mountain Thief bosses.

This made the players feel that trouble was ahead.

“I heard top teams like Liu Qinghong’s have already joined hands and are prepared to ambush the Liangshan Stonghold Chieftain. Given their current abilities, if they all joined hands to attack, I’m afraid even these Bosses might not hold up against them.” One of the leaders of a small group muttered these words to himself as he shook his head.

These top teams were generally a bunch of high-level players at Martial Entry-Level Three, and there were also some players at Martial Entry-Level Four and even Martial Entry-Level Five.

If they all teamed up together, they would total a few hundred in number.

It’s just that generally player teams didn’t really trust each other, so they could never truly work together as a team.

Otherwise, all the bosses in Messy Stone Forest would have been wiped out a long time ago.

These powerful teams had really joined hands properly for the first time only because of the reputation of this Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain.

As for the other players gathered, most of them weren’t here to attack the Liangshan Stronghold Chieftain.

They had heard about those powerful teams joining hands, and they were here to just blend in and see if there was an opportunity to reap some benefits along the way.

But then again, not every player got to even do this.

As the players hung around the team, Qin Shujian had also sent orders to get Niu Feng and Xu Yuanming to lead this team of Mountain Bandits to go on a massacre.

As for himself, he continued to remain in the middle of the team without moving. The speed at which the crew of Mountain Bandits was moving forward did not slow down at all.

With two Martial Entry-Level Five Bosses leading the way, the players that had gathered couldn’t possibly fight this team at all.

They could retreat in time to save themselves.

...

Or they had to just die at the hands of these Mountain Bandits.

The players in Messy Stone Forest were generally at a higher level than those at Liangshan.

And it was precisely because of that.

While continuously massacring the players, many Mountain Bandits managed to break through to the next stage and reached a new level.

There was only one regretful problem.

There was the problem of the method to increase one’s cultivation level.

Xu Yuanming and Niu Feng had killed many players, and a number of these players were even at Martial Entry-Level Three, but they were still unable to break through their limits and reach Martial Entry-Level Six.

When it came to this, there was nothing Qin Shujian could do either.

He cultivated with a different method from them. He was using the Bodyforge Manual, but Niu Feng and Xu Yuanming weren’t.

Currently, the only way to get around this was either through the Bodyforge Manual, or the Eternal Youth Technique, of which the Bodyforge Manual was a more complete method.

But it was too bad.

...

Even if he were to teach the two of them the Bodyforge Manual, since they started off differently, it would take some time to switch to a new system of doing things, and it might not transition smoothly either.

That was also why Qin Shujian didn’t take this chance to teach the two of them how the Bodyforge Manual moved past Level Five and help them reach Martial Entry-Level Six.

Even Zheng Fang had the same problem.

He was at Level Eight before attaining the Bodyforge Manual, and he was still stuck in the conversion process now.

But as a high-level Martial Entry-Level Five fighter, it wasn’t too difficult to use a different method to cultivate oneself to a level that was completely different from yourself.

But even so.

While there were Mountain Bandits who increased in level, there were also those who died.

But compared to the numbers who died, the number of Mountain Bandits that went up in level were clearly in the majority.

That way, the team’s strength didn’t decrease at all, but became even stronger and more powerful than before.

Train an army!

This was an idea that suddenly popped up in Qin Shujian’s mind.

Compared to the Mountain Bandits at Liangshan Stronghold, the new Mountain Bandits at Mount Mingai and Chuanyun Stronghold were clearly not strong enough. Most of them were at Martial Entry-Level One.

If he wanted to bring them to the same level as the Mountain Bandits of Liangshan Stronghold, it would take quite a bit.

And because he had the unique attributes of a Level 1 Affiliate, any Mountain Bandit at Martial Entry-Level Three and lower wouldn’t drop by one level, even after dying.

That was also why Qin Shujian sent Niu Feng and Xu Yuanming to lead the Mountain Bandits to massacre the players.

By doing it this way.

He could keep harvesting Life Values.

And he could also increase the level of some of the Mountain Bandits.

It was a win-win situation, so of course, Qin Shujian had no reason to not do this.
