- GTA Chapter 163
Qin Feng wasn’t entirely sure which of Daxia’s top players had fallen to the “Nightmare Hellflower” in his previous life.
One thing was certain, though: Late Night Light Rain wasn’t among them.
As for that Sun-surnamed official? Highly likely.
It was almost laughable how subservient this guy was—like someone who’d been sold and was still helping their buyer count the money.
Or, to put it bluntly, like a pig sharpening the knife that would be used to slaughter it.
“He’s called Sun Xing, and he’s the consultant for this operation,” Late Night Light Rain said as she leaped gracefully off Osirio’s back, maintaining her stealth state.
Her single ponytail swayed in the breeze, slightly disheveled, but her posture remained straight, exuding a confident and sharp aura.
Frowning slightly, she glanced at Sun Xing. “Of course, ‘consultant’ is just a fancy title.”
“In reality, he’s only here to liaise with Theodore and his team. We can ignore him. As for combat operations, I’ll be giving the orders… unless, of course, the master has other instructions. If there’s any conflict, we’ll follow the master’s lead.”
Sun Xing, huh?
Certainly seems criminal enough.
Qin Feng paid no mind to such a trivial figure.
He dismissed Osirio and revealed himself alongside Late Night Light Rain.

Late Night Light Rain, as the team leader, swiftly invited all 58 individuals into the team.
To Qin Feng’s bemusement, the Sun official’s in-game alias was “Modern Hero.”
Hero? As in the “Those who know their place are heroes” kind of hero?
The man, clutching a silver-tier priest staff, didn’t dare utter a word when Qin Feng arrived, keeping his head low.
Clearly, the Shadow’s fearsome reputation preceded him—Sun Xing wasn’t about to spout any nonsense.
Qin Feng, naturally, ignored him.
It was evident that the other players on the team idolized Qin Feng. None of them took Sun Xing’s earlier remarks seriously, treating them like a joke.
What era was this, anyway?
Fawning over foreign players like that—what a disgrace.
“Everyone, follow my commands during the operation.”
Late Night Light Rain stepped forward, holding her platinum-tier crossbow, her voice calm and authoritative. “Of course, if the Shadow gives instructions that conflict with mine, prioritize the Shadow’s orders.”
“Now, let’s move.”
Aside from Sun Xing, the team consisted of Modu’s finest players.
Highly trained, they worked seamlessly in the game and exhibited exceptional discipline.
Half of them had military backgrounds, making their composure and coordination exemplary.
At Late Night Light Rain’s command, the team began summoning their mounts with summoning bells.
In Godforsaken Game, mounts were rare drops. However, official resources provided top-tier players with a summoning bell each, ensuring mobility and efficiency.
Whether traveling or farming monsters, mounts were invaluable. Even speeds of a mere 100-200 meters per second far outpaced players’ running speeds in the early stages.
Soon, a variety of mounts appeared: wolves, lions, wyverns, stone golems, and more.
Players mounted up, ready to go—except for Sun Xing, who stood awkwardly to the side.
His lack of combat prowess meant he wasn’t assigned a mount.
Late Night Light Rain, already anticipating this, tossed him a summoning bell.
“Use this. Return it when we arrive.”
Her tone was cold.
“Haha, sure, sure,” Sun Xing replied, grinning as he accepted the bell.
The bell jingled.
A black-haired wild boar appeared before him.
“?”
Sun Xing’s grin froze.
A wild boar?
My status, and they want me to ride a pig?
Twenty minutes later, the team reached the base of a volcano over 300 kilometers from Modu’s ruins.
There, they rendezvoused with Theodore and his group.
Qin Feng, riding a Ghostly Night Wolf, didn’t bother staying hidden and blended into the team.
Although he kept a low profile, Theodore and his team immediately spotted him upon arrival.
Five foreign players approached Qin Feng.
“Honorable Mr. Shadow, though you killed us once, there’s an old Eastern saying: ‘No fight, no friendship.’”
Theodore, all smiles, exuded warmth. “No matter what impression you have of us, please believe that we harbor no ill intentions toward you.”
Before Qin Feng could respond, Sun Xing—still on the wild boar—interrupted enthusiastically:
“Haha, Mr. Theodore, you’re too kind! For you to set aside past grievances and share the Diamond-tier boss’s coordinates with us shows your sincerity…”
Before he could finish, Late Night Light Rain dismounted from her leopard and cut him off.
“We’re here. Hand over the summoning bell.”
“Ugh, what’s the rush? Think I won’t give it back?”
Grumbling, Sun Xing reluctantly dismounted.
Despite the boar’s ridiculous appearance, riding it had given him a taste of the mount’s convenience. Even a boar was better than nothing.
Qin Feng didn’t waste any more time.
Feigning a smile, he stepped forward and said to Theodore, “Let’s head inside and take down the boss together.”
He noted that Theodore’s team only had five members present.
Iron Fist was conspicuously absent.
Qin Feng knew exactly what they were planning—to trap them inside the volcano.
He didn’t care.
His plan with Late Night Light Rain was already in place.
As the team prepared to enter, Late Night Light Rain’s expression turned serious. Once more, she addressed the team through the party channel:
“Once inside, follow my commands to the letter. Do not act without authorization. Any disobedience will be treated as treason!”
Everyone, including Sun Xing, confirmed their compliance.
Sun Xing muttered under his breath, “Treason? Isn’t that a bit much…?”
The group entered the volcano through its sole passage, walking along crimson stone paths toward its depths.

[You have entered the ‘Depths of the Inferno Volcano’! This area is a Nightmare Zone!]
[In this area, lifespan drains at an accelerated rate.]

The system notification made everyone’s expressions turn grim.
After several twists and turns, they emerged into a massive subterranean chamber.
The walls, illuminated by magma, glowed an ominous red. At the bottom of a deep pit lay crisscrossing magma rivers, and in their center stood a fiery red Nightmare Hellflower with a diameter of over 60 meters.
The team stood on a stone platform about 30 meters above the pit, overlooking the Diamond-tier boss with awe.
The boss seemed to be resting, oblivious to the intruding players.
Meanwhile, Theodore received a private message from Iron Fist Amos:
“Boss, it’s done. I’ve built nine stone walls in succession. They won’t escape.”
“Good. Let’s go…”
Theodore smirked, glancing at the 60 elite players of Daxia. He was just about to order Zuma, the Soul Walker, to use his ability to phase through the walls and retreat.
But suddenly—
Thwack!
A jet-black hunting arrow pierced Zuma’s back.
-467!
Zuma froze.
Theodore and the others froze.
The Daxia players were equally stunned.
What just happened?
Zuma instinctively raised his hand to activate his class ability and enter his Soul Walker state.
However—
—-
[You are under the effect of “Silence” and cannot use any skills.]
—-
Late Night Light Rain’s arrow had a Silence effect, disabling Zuma’s abilities for 8 seconds!
Zuma’s face darkened.
Before he could react, Late Night Light Rain unleashed a triple Repelling Arrow.
The three arrows struck Zuma squarely, sending him hurtling toward the boss’s magma pit.
He tumbled off the stone platform, plummeting toward the Nightmare Hellflower!
