"Uncle!"
Grunta stared at Noko, who was pierced through the chest, completely stunned.
As for the hundreds of Great Ape Gang members present, they were all in shock and fear, standing there in disbelief.
The Great Ape Gang had stood firm in the wilds of Chasing Light City for decades. Even in battles with top twenty wild gangs, at most, some high-level ordinary members died, but never a core high-level like a Deputy Gang Leader.
The closest was over a decade ago when a Deputy Gang Leader offended a young lord from a powerful suburban family and was ambushed by eight quasi-martial artists in the wild. That Deputy Gang Leader didn’t die, though he lost ninety percent of his over one hundred trusted men, but he managed to leave all eight quasi-martial artists behind.

Now Noko, a Deputy Gang Leader, was killed in collaboration by an Extreme Apprentice and an Advanced Apprentice, and right at the Great Ape Gang’s base. This was simply breaking heaven apart.
If this got out, the prestige the Great Ape Gang built over the years in the wild would likely be lost in a day.
The hundreds of Great Ape Gang members present even felt that in the aftermath, they would all die, buried alongside Noko.
"Kill! At all costs! We must eliminate them all!" At this moment, Grunta seemed to forget the injury on his arm, his eyes blood-red as he looked towards the direction Luo Wushang and the others had left, roaring, "Activate the defensive grid! Enter level one alert! Anyone who dares to retreat will die after this!"
With Grunta’s order, the Great Ape Gang members all let out roars, either pounding the ground with their fists or beating their chests, their eyes turning blood-red with crazed ferocity, completely unleashing their beastly nature.
In an instant, the entire base of the Great Ape Gang echoed with a piercing alarm that reverberated throughout the valley. Upon hearing the alarm, Great Ape Gang members, whether escaping or intending to join with gang elites, all seemed stimulated and rushed towards the entrance and exit of the base.
Any intruder they found, whether a basic apprentice of the Great Ape Gang or an ordinary person, they all charged madly, exchanging life for life.
"Wushang, what did you do? These gorillas are simply insane; before they knew how to flee, now they don’t care for their lives."
Zhang Qingwei watched Luo Wushang and the others rushing out from the core of the Great Ape Gang while resisting the encirclement of over thirty members, weaving through houses to dodge distant arrow attacks, filled with confusion.
At the moment, not only Zhang Qingwei faced a massive attack from Great Ape Gang members; other gathered players faced similar situations, finding escape difficult.
"We eliminated one of their Deputy Gang Leaders, and Yiyi scored a B2 Level Long Halberd." Luo Wushang, her face somewhat pale, defended against over ten flying arrows while retreating, "We must retreat quickly. If that group behind catches up, it’ll be tough to leave here again."
"Deputy President Luo is impressive, actually taking down a BOSS." Fang Zhen, having regrouped, couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up, looking enviously at One Leaf Floating Cloud with a Long Halberd on his back, "Indeed, killing a BOSS is the most rewarding."
The Dawn Squad had searched the Great Ape Gang’s base for half a day, finding nothing worthy or elite leader-type enemies. They managed to take down a few Advanced Apprentices, getting a few A6 Level weapons.
Even a single B2 Level weapon is worth millions of Points, let alone a Long Halberd that could replace a Long Spear, making it exceptionally satisfying for One Leaf Floating Cloud to have a suitable B2 Level weapon.
"We better retreat quickly." Li Ranxing parried a few incoming arrows, reminding them, "The game’s stamina and qi and blood aren’t infinite. Once our qi and blood are depleted, a group of basic apprentices can kill us."
"This game is too realistic; we indeed need to move faster. Hidden among these people are elite and leader-level enemies. Their archery is extremely accurate and sharp, using B2 Level arrows; A6 Level armor is useless." The Outer Gunman, clutching his shoulder wound pierced by a B2 Level arrow, still bleeding, his face pale as he bitterly smiled, "The pain in this game can be endured, but injuries affect the whole body, even causing muscle spasms in the arm, making it hard to exert force. I had only heard about it before, didn’t expect the game to replicate it fully, it’s amazing."
"Everyone, be cautious not to be hit in the abdomen by those powerful arrows. If hit in the liver in reality, the person becomes stiff and unable to move for a while; even a hero is useless. The game might be the same, allowing any ordinary person to take us out."
All present agreed with Li Ranxing’s suggestion. Though they had some time, after rounds of combat, their blood qi was greatly consumed. Continuing to fight would deplete their qi, making even moving difficult, let alone fighting.
So the teams of Luo Wushang, Fang Zhen, and One Leaf Floating Cloud all agreed to break through towards a place to the west.
While the Great Ape Gang’s base was in the valley, with only one entrance and exit, the entrance and exit were wide, unable to form a net immediately. The west was where the Great Ape Gang had set up the warehouse area, usually unguarded, now just perfect for a breakout.
