Chapter 1392: Chapter 1392 – The Figure On The Cliff
“We found her!”A voice came from behind the man in sunglasses. “But the situation is not right. There seems to have been a big battle not far from where we found her.”
The man in sunglasses put down the binoculars in his hand, and his expression was also very serious. “They made a move.”
“Those gods, they don’t want that thing to come out of that frozen city any more than we do.”
“So… do we have an ally now? Since those gods are willing to make their move, does that mean we don’t have to make another move tonight? Simon must be doomed.”
The players nearby were shocked when they heard this, and then a flash of joy appeared in their eyes.
They had already lost a lot of manpower to deal with Zhang Heng Tonight, but in the end, Zhang Heng managed to escape. It wasn’t easy for him to set up a trap, but before he could take effect, the bait was lost again, although they still had the advantage in terms of strength, their morale had dropped a lot compared to when they first entered the mountain.
No one knew how many more people would have to die to get rid of Simon. If someone was willing to solve this problem, then there was no reason for them not to raise their hands in agreement.
However, the man wearing sunglasses did not look as happy as the other members of the hunting team. Instead, he looked worried.
“What’s Wrong?”The man holding the fire qilin who had been with him all this time asked.
“I don’t know,”the man wearing sunglasses paused for a moment before explaining, “The battle from before lasted for a long time. Moreover, I saw a man riding a carriage flying through the air. There were five other people on the carriage. They left in a hurry. It did not look like they had just won a big victory.”

“But they still won. Since they could win the first round, they could win the second round.”
“Maybe.”The man wearing sunglasses took back the binoculars in his hand. Then he looked at the little girl who was brought back by the team. The two of them had just stayed together not long ago, but the man wearing sunglasses also knew what had happened. When he came back to his senses, the little girl had mysteriously disappeared.
The man in sunglasses did not have much hope at first. He only sent out two teams to discuss everything. In the end, one of the teams that was searching in the direction of the cave actually brought the little girl back.
However, the man in sunglasses did not know what to do with the little girl. Because the gods had already made their move, logically speaking, there should not be anything for them to do next.
“Take her down to take a look,”the man in sunglasses said after a moment of hesitation. “Ask the logistics team to release the remaining drones.”
Although the man in sunglasses didn’t deliberately publicize the news, everyone in the camp soon learned that the gods had already made their move. In fact, the night sky had suddenly turned dark, moreover, the commotion caused by the war that followed couldn’t be hidden. Hence, the players in the valley had already made their guesses. Now, however, their guesses were confirmed.
As a result, the players who had been tense all this time gradually relaxed. They even began to gather in small groups and joke around, celebrating the completion of the operation ahead of time, meanwhile, the players on the second front found a man wearing sunglasses.
“Do you guys want to continue blowing up the ice in the pond?”The man wearing sunglasses asked with a frown.
“That’s right. Although Simon is no longer here, Seahorse’s corpse is still inside. After all, he is a member of our guild. When he was still alive, we had already let him down once. We don’t want to let him down again after he dies. At the very least, we have to bring his corpse back,”the representative of the second front said, “In any case, the ice hole has been dug and the explosives have been bought in. As long as we add a fuse, we can detonate it.”

The man wearing sunglasses could not find any reason to refute. Moreover, strictly speaking, everyone present was responsible for Seahorse’s death, especially him, the commander. Although he did not express his position at that time.., however, considering the situation at that time, not saying a word was equivalent to giving up on seahorse.
Therefore, the man wearing sunglasses nodded. The players from the second front thanked him one after another when they saw this. Then, they began to prepare for the explosion.
They moved very quickly. Five minutes later, a loud sound came from below the pool. The thick layer of ice was blasted open. The players from the second front worked together, using cranes, ropes, and iron hooks, they hooked up an ice block that weighed about 300 kilograms from the bottom of the pool.
Inside the nearly cylindrical ice block, seahorse was still struggling desperately. It could be seen that at that time, he was extremely eager to return to the surface of the water. However, in the end, he was only frozen in this ice block, there were also some golden fragments that were frozen together. It was hard to believe that they had come from the world-famous trident.
A player on the second front who had a good relationship with seahorse could not help but lower his head when he saw this scene. Then, he clenched the rifle in his hand and suddenly turned around to walk towards a tent.
However, before he could take two steps, he was stopped by the previous leader. “Where are you going?”
“To find the person who is most responsible for this matter.”
“And then make him pay the price!”The player who had a good relationship with seahorse said angrily.
“I know you’re in a bad mood right now, but are you going to kill that kid in front of the other guilds? “Do you think that guy wearing sunglasses will watch this kind of thing happen right under his nose and remain indifferent? Do you think that the other small guilds will allow you to make a move for their own safety? Not to mention, have you thought about the impact your actions will have on Our Guild?”
“Then, are we just going to forget about this matter just like that? !”
“Of course not.”The leader of the second front looked left and right. However, he admitted that their quarrel just now did not attract the attention of the players from the nearby guilds. Only then did he beckon to another person and said in a low voice, “Do you think that I don’t want that Guy to pay the price? However, everything has to be done according to strategy. We’ll wait until the end of this operation and disband the team before making a move. After that, we’ll make it look like we’re robbing an item. This way, there won’t be anyone obstructing us, and it won’t affect the guild’s reputation…”
Before he could finish his words, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder. When he raised his head, he saw that the person who patted him on the shoulder had half his head raised. His expression was very nervous. He had already raised the gun in his hand, and at the same time, his finger was on the trigger.
The leader followed his gaze and saw a familiar figure on the cliff above the waterfall.

A Beginner's Guide to Napping, Sunbathing, and Slaughtering Your Prey
Fang is a simple cat. Fang likes napping in the sun. Fang does not like being called Chairman Meow. Fang likes his belly being scratched for precisely 17.329 seconds. Fang does not like being punted between dimensions. Fang likes hunting and killing defenseless wildlife. Fang does not like mysterious blue boxes that appear out of thin air. Fang is having a Very Bad Day. A few things to note: Fang is a cat soul in a cat body, and that's not going to change any time soon. No cat girl evolution or possessed puppet or any of that. The slice of life tag is there for a reason. There is no epic tale here, only a cat doing cat things in a (hopefully) interesting setting. The game elements are pretty light, mostly there for flavor, so don't expect a huge amount of crunch. Nature is cruel, and cats are crueler than most.

The White Rabbit: Book 2
In the Urillian Empire, the Empress Xandra rules three-quarters of the planet Xren from her home in the capital of the Earth Continent. Both the fire and water peoples have fallen under her might after a series of wars stretching back three centuries. Earth elves, under Xandra's rule, have spread throughout the planet and established colonies, and are, by all accounts, enjoying what seems to be a prosperous and happy existence. But not everyone in Uril is happy. The holy books speak of elves as the Chosen People of Thesis, tasked with guiding and protecting the lower races. For some people, this scripture has been interpreted to designate their life as one on the lowest rungs of society. Humans have been reduced to a slave class, and serve their elven masters under Xandra's rule, kept at bay by the constant fear of the dreaded Emerald Knight, and their own perceived weakness. Humans do not lead long lives, nor do they possess the wisdom, power, or magical acumen of their elven masters. But there is hope. A group of people have banded together to fight against Xandra, her Knight, and her empire. They call themselves the "Knights of Order" united under the principle idea that Xandra's reign has brought chaos unto Xren, and they wish to restore order. These Knights are led by a man named Xaxac Brigaddon, spoken of as a legend. They say that when the moons are full, some humans transform into powerful beasts. They say that Xaxac is the most powerful warrior on Xren, that in his youth he was enslaved and forced to fight other humans to the death in a bloodsport called "cage fighting", that he could not be touched and held the world championship title for three years running until he faked his own death and escaped his master to join the resistance. They say that he has friends in high places- noblemen, pirates, and the devil himself. They say that if you can find him, he can ferry you to freedom in places where the Earth Elves fear to tread. They say that he is immune to magical attack, and his eyes shine like the silver moon. They say that he is descended from Quizlivian Brigaddon, one of the humans who helped the demon Magnus escape a god. They say that if you want to walk the Path of Order, you should follow the White Rabbit.Come and watch the transformation from human boy to Knight of Order: The life and times of Xaxac OfAgalon OfLangil Brigaddon. Content Warning: This work is based on the real experiences of human trafficing survivors. Xaxac's origins are based on true events, and they are presented realisitcally; this includes but is not limited to: isolation, gaslighting, emotional and sexual abuse, and grooming tactics. This work is meant to hold a mirror up to society; it is based on the real of experiences of people who have experienced slavery and/or abuse. It is an adult work and probably should not be read by anyone under the age of 18. If you are a survivor of human trafficing and/or abuse, your feedback is welcome, but please do not read this if you think it may trigger your trauma. I did not write this with the intention of harming anyone, but rather to provide accurate representation for a group that does not normally get it in the hopes of changing the zeitgeist. I would like to see a world where more people understand what these experiences are like, so that real survivors do not have to deal with microagressions from an ignorant public. Reader discretion is advised. This book does not display these elements as heavily as book 1.
