"Armor Team, let's go!" Outside the door, Ruan Yu's voice broke Jiang Kai out of his train of thought. He came back to his senses, put away the Fire Calamity Bead, and walked out of the back garden.
At this moment, in the guild district of Zone Eighteen, large numbers of teams had gathered in front of the gates of every major guild.
Countless teams were moving in mighty streams, spreading out in all directions.
At the very least, over a million people were heading toward the seven major maps for the BOSS battle.
By comparison, the 107-person team from the Lord God Guild looked somewhat thin and outmatched.
However, Jiang Kai did not care at all. Together with He Shishi, he led the main group toward Zone Sixteen.
According to the information provided by the military, the number of guilds heading for Qingfeng Mountain had already exceeded seven hundred. Adding the local guilds from Zone Sixteen, the total could reach eight hundred!
And the number of guilds directly participating in hunting the BOSS had already surpassed three hundred.
The number of people sent by these guilds ranged from several hundred to tens of thousands. Everyone participating in the BOSS battle had to be a player of Tier Four or above!
When Jiang Kai and the others arrived at the main city of Zone Sixteen, they finally understood what "a sea of people, shoulder to shoulder" really meant!
The vast main city of Zone Sixteen was completely packed. Those who arrived late could not even enter the city!
"My god, so many Tier Four experts. The scale of this BOSS battle is terrifying!" Ouyang Yi said. "I've been on Ghost Star for twenty years and I've never seen anything this outrageous."
He Shishi nodded. "There really has never been anything like this. You have to know, capturing so much territory in such a short time puts enormous pressure on the military. Every Lord of the Guard is extremely difficult to deal with. One slip, and you could be counterattacked!"
"I heard that the War God Halls all over the place, as long as they belong to the military, about eighty percent have been recalled, just to deal with map BOSSes and Lords of the Guard," Zhao Tiequan said. "And for guild War Gods like us, once the War God Hall summons us, we have to return immediately."
"After all, the current Lords of the Guard are terrifyingly strong!"
As he spoke, Zhao Tiequan looked at Jiang Kai.
The matter between Jiang Kai and the Fire Calamity Bead was now something almost everyone knew. Although Zhao Tiequan and the others trusted Jiang Kai, there were still different voices out there in society.
Jiang Kai did not really care. He was stretching his neck, looking for Zhou Chu and the others.
"Misjudged this. I should've agreed on a meetup spot with Old Zhou beforehand!" Jiang Kai said regretfully. There were simply too many people around. In a crowd like this, finding the Qingyun Guild was extremely difficult.
Just then, a burst of exclamations erupted from the crowd not far away.
"Holy crap, they're all War Gods?! What guild is this? Never even heard of it!"
"Having over two hundred War Gods is one thing. Even the top ten guilds can field that many, but this guild doesn't have a single Tier Four?"
Hearing this, Jiang Kai immediately realized that the arriving guild must be an Ancient Martial Arts guild.
"You guys find a place and have our people rest in place for now. I'll go take a look!" After saying that, Jiang Kai squeezed his way through the crowd.
It really was an Ancient Martial Arts guild, the Penglai Guild.
Although it was not the Qingyun Guild, they were all from Zone One. Since Penglai had arrived, Qingyun could not be far behind.
Sure enough, not long after, Jiang Kai saw a group of familiar faces.
Zhou Chu, Elder Wan, Elder Sun, along with Sun Yuan, Liu Xuefei, Ye Qingwu, Wang Zhong, and a group of disciples, were walking over.
"Old Zhou!" Jiang Kai shouted to Zhou Chu from afar.
The people over there also noticed Jiang Kai. "Mas… Jiang Kai!"
The Lord God Guild finally met up with the Qingyun Guild. The city was far too crowded, so the two guilds found a quieter spot outside the city to regroup.
He Shishi had already visited the Qingyun Guild before. Back then, when Jiang Kai asked her to set up a branch guild in Zone One, she naturally had to go and get a feel for things first.
Jiang Kai had stayed with the Qingyun Guild for several months. Whether it was Zhou Chu, Elder Wan, and the others in charge, or juniors like Sun Yuan, he was already very familiar with all of them.
After Jiang Kai introduced the key figures on both sides, He Shishi and Zhou Chu got busy reorganizing the members of the two guilds into new formations.
"Pay attention. Protect the friends of the Lord God Guild at all costs!" Zhou Chu issued a strict order.
"Got it, Guild Leader." Liu Xuefei shook his head. "You've said it eight hundred times already! Besides, Jiang Kai's friends are our friends. We'll definitely protect them!"
Sun Yuan leaned over to Jiang Kai. "Hey, I heard you chatted with Yin Lingsha all night last time?"
"What, what! Brother Sun, did you just say Armor Team chatted with a girl all night?" Hu Yan and Zhao Tiequan had sharp ears. They immediately crowded over after hearing that.
"You didn't know?" Sun Yuan said in shock.
"Brother Sun, be specific!" Hu Yan looked like he was dying of curiosity.
Faced with such an enthusiastic audience, Sun Yuan instantly got interested.
Off to the side, Jiang Kai coldly watched this bunch gossiping about him, feeling a deep sense of wanting to give up on life.
Letting these two groups merge, was it really a wise choice… This level of gossip, neither side lost to the other at all.
Good thing Zhuzi was not here, or the consequences would be even more unimaginable!
After the team reorganization was completed, the two guilds totaled 248 people.
However, they could not go hunting just yet. They were still waiting for someone.
Not long after, Four Seasons Flower finally squeezed out of the main city of Zone Sixteen with great difficulty.
They also brought two people back with them.
These two girls were both researchers from the Huaxia Data Research Institute. Each of them was holding a device similar to a tablet.
The two walked up to Jiang Kai.
"You're Jiang Kai? Hello, I'm Zhou Ting. This is Zhou Chan. We're Level Two researchers from the institute."
Jiang Kai smiled slightly. "Hello."
Zhou Chan said a bit shyly, "We've heard a lot about your deeds. Didn't expect you to be more handsome in person than in the videos."
As soon as Jiang Kai heard that, his mood instantly improved a lot.
"What have you heard about me?" Jiang Kai asked.
Zhou Chan thought for a moment, then suddenly covered her mouth and laughed. "Secretly in love with sixteen girls."
Jiang Kai instantly froze in place.
What was going on? How did this piece of information spread everywhere?
Zhou Ting smiled faintly. "Zhou Chan is just joking with you. Don't mind it. Oh right, Chunlan said you're acting jointly with the Qingyun Guild. So may I ask, should the data for your two guilds be recorded separately, or combined?"
"Combined," Jiang Kai said without hesitation. "We're all our own people. We'll just split the rewards ourselves afterward."
"Alright, I'll make a note of that. Then the researchers at the BOSS points will only record your combined data."
Originally, the Lord God and Qingyun guilds had 248 people total. Adding Zhou Ting and Zhou Chan made it exactly 250.
After everyone was assembled, the main force advanced toward the safety zone.
The defensive strength of the safety zone in Zone Sixteen was simply unprecedented!
Just the number of turrets and supply stations alone was three times that of the Zone Eighteen safety zone!
Not only that, the number of players inside the safety zone did not lose out to the main city at all. At a glance, there were people everywhere!
"Can we start hunting now?" He Shishi asked.
Zhou Ting looked at the device in her hand, then said, "Please wait a moment. The military needs to make sure the War Gods are assembled and ready to respond to any sudden situations… But it's already in the final stages."
The other large teams were also waiting at this time. No one had left the safety zone.
After waiting for about an hour, Zhou Ting's and Zhou Chan's devices seemed to receive some kind of message.
Zhou Ting immediately went over to Jiang Kai and Zhou Chu. "The BOSS battle can begin!"
Zhou Chu looked at Jiang Kai. "You take command."
Jiang Kai nodded. Then he stood up and shouted loudly to the more than two hundred people from the two guilds, "Brothers and sisters, time to get to work!"
