Using their own methods against them!

So, Qin Feng mentioned to Wan Ye Wei Yu the specific method for luring the Ernie Ross, the Quivering Clown.

This included the maximum distance for throwing monster corpses.

"The Trembling Hut's skill for consuming corpses and constructing a new hut has a cooldown, as well as a maximum distance."

"If you master the distance and timing of throwing the corpses, you can lure the Trembling Hut to the Los Angeles Ruins at the fastest speed."

After Qin Feng finished telling Wan Ye Wei Yu the information, he continued to head out to find a place to grind monsters.

Upon receiving this news, Wan Ye Wei Yu felt a sense of awe once again.

"As expected of the Shadow God, it seems like he really knows everything… or rather, he can find information on anything!"

"How exactly does he look things up?"

"Although there is the Eye of Knowledge now… but even before that, he seemed to be omniscient as well…"

Wan Ye Wei Yu felt that this big shot was truly too mysterious!

Furthermore, he could even find specific information on this BOSS, all the way in North America!

"It's fortunate that such a big shot is in China…"

Finally, Wan Ye Wei Yu discussed the last details with Qin Feng, and after receiving his confirmation… the Great Xia Government 'comrades' far away in North America began to take action!

North America, in the eerie and terrifying forest over a thousand kilometers outside the Los Angeles Ruins!

There was a 'Trembling Hut' standing in the middle of this pitch-black forest.

This Trembling Hut was only the size of a bathroom, but it was wrapped in pitch-black flesh that even pulsed like a living heart.

On the front was a door, and eerie black mist seeped through the cracks.

Suddenly, a wooden doll with an eerie smiling face approached the Trembling Hut with a 'creak, creak' sound.

Suddenly, a flash of blade light cut through the darkness, slicing the eerie wooden doll in two!

Then… the wooden doll's mouth opened and closed, its upper body fell to the ground, and it made an eerie 'creak, creak' sound: "Trembling, Hut. BOSS, main body."

"Do you, want to go, to the ruins, where players, gather, to slaughter?"

"We, will help, you. But, we need, you to agree, to a, condition."

After these eerie words were spoken, the forest fell into silence.

A moment later, a black figure with twisted limbs appeared next to the severed wooden doll, holding two daggers, and spoke chillingly: "State your condition."

The wooden doll's upper body did not struggle; its mouth simply opened and closed: "Members, of the guilds, on the list, must not, be killed."

"Otherwise, you will, be doomed."

"Guild, list — China, Ministry of Foreign Affairs; China, Ministry of Immigration…" The wooden doll stuttered out more than a dozen guild names.

"I, agree."

The black figure with twisted limbs spoke these few short words. To show sincerity, it even twisted its legs backward to squat down, reached out its hands, and reconnected the severed wooden doll…

This black figure with twisted limbs was none other than 'Ernie Ross, the Quivering Clown'.

It was a flesh polymer created by the Trembling Hut and was also the main source of the Trembling Hut's combat power!

If this Ernie Ross, the Quivering Clown were killed, the Trembling Hut would instantly create the next Ernie Ross, the Quivering Clown, though its skills would be very different from this one…

On a hillside more than ten kilometers outside the eerie and terrifying forest, a middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and floral shorts sat with a cigarette in his mouth, his fingers dancing in the air…

His class was Puppeteer! The eerie wooden doll that went to 'talk' to the Trembling Hut was one of this middle-aged man's puppets!

This exchange with the BOSS had been confirmed with Qin Feng by the Great Xia Government, and it had received Qin Feng's approval.

First, they directly stated that they knew the BOSS's true form was the Trembling Hut, and then they negotiated terms. They had assumed the BOSS would be dismissive, but unexpectedly, the BOSS actually agreed!

"Whew… As expected of Shadow. He can actually deal with an Epic BOSS. It seems the rumors in Hai City about him communicating with a Phoenix were not without foundation…"

Underneath the middle-aged Puppeteer's sunglasses was an expression of immense admiration. He was certain that if he hadn't pointed out that the BOSS's true form was the Trembling Hut, the BOSS probably wouldn't have negotiated with him so easily!

It was precisely because of the guidance from 'Shadow' that he was able to suppress the BOSS right from the start!

As for whether the BOSS would keep its promise after being lured to the Los Angeles Ruins, the middle-aged Puppeteer wasn't sure. But all in all, this wouldn't harm China.

The guilds on the list were all player guilds in the Los Angeles Ruins with deep connections to China. Some were official, some were private, but without exception, these people all still held Chinese citizenship.

Whether they were out doing business or studying abroad, they were all trapped in this place after the God Forsaken Game descended.

In fact, if it weren't for the incident with the flight 'Theodore' was on, some of these people would have already returned to China, but after that event, flights between China and North America were halted again and have not resumed to this day.

It was precisely for this reason that Qin Feng had the people from China propose this condition to the BOSS.

"Although this kind of condition has no binding power on the BOSS, such a BOSS is very shrewd. Since I was able to directly name its true form as the Trembling Hut, I can completely keep it in check. If it really doesn't listen… then I will just have to reluctantly make a trip there myself."

Qin Feng's lips curled slightly, though it was unclear what evil plan he was contemplating… Following that, time flew by! Two and a half days passed quickly.

Qin Feng's experience points were finally just a little bit away from reaching level 30!

At this moment, Wan Ye Wei Yu sent him a private message: "Great God, the Lava Giant you asked us to keep an eye on has appeared. Are you going there now?"

That was located outside the Dungeon ruins in the northwest of China.

Every once in a while, an NPC named 'Lonely Lava Giant · Brother Qiyi' would appear, and this guy would always carry various strange goods every time he appeared. At the highest level, one could even buy Epic-grade equipment or skill books! There were also all sorts of odd and strange items that could possibly appear.

Qin Feng hadn't been in a rush recently to go to areas with ultra-high Lifespan flow rates to let the little Phoenix grow, because for it to go from the infancy stage to the growth stage, besides satisfying the Lifespan flow, it also required some special materials. Some materials were quite difficult to obtain and couldn't be acquired by players at the current stage.

Therefore, Qin Feng had the Great Xia Government keep an eye on this NPC named 'Brother Qiyi'.

"Alright, Brother Qiyi can exist for three hours each time he appears; I'll head over in a bit," Qin Feng replied.

It wasn't just anyone who could trade with Brother Qiyi. Why was this NPC lonely? Because he was always surrounded by ultra-high fire damage!

At the very least, at the current stage, it was impossible for players to get close to that NPC, except for Qin Feng… Qin Feng's base elemental resistance was already very high, not to mention the additional 24% elemental damage reduction from the 'Soul Absorption Bracers', plus the amulet Zhang Jinxuan had previously given Qin Feng!

"To be safe, once I reach level 30 in a bit, I can evolve some defensive skills to boost the elemental resistance converted from my Spirit attribute even further!"

Qin Feng continued to grind monsters; the last bit of experience could be finished in ten minutes or so… It was also at this moment. North America, Los Angeles Ruins.

Compared to some of the major city ruins in China, this place seemed far too chaotic. Inside the city ruins, looting, burning, and robbing could be seen everywhere. Wilderness PK was everywhere.

In North America, apart from the Government guilds being relatively strong and general players not daring to provoke them, everyone else was fighting on their own, and the strong reigned supreme. Even the Government guilds in each state were not united.

There had even been situations where the Government guilds of two neighboring states had fought fiercely over inviting an NPC… All in all, this place was generally much more chaotic than China.

The right of the weak to survive could no longer be guaranteed at all, and the Chinese players trapped here could only huddle together for warmth.

Also on this night, a terrifying rumor began to spread throughout the Los Angeles Ruins. An Epic BOSS named 'Ernie Ross, the Quivering Clown' was secretly slaughtering players in the Los Angeles Ruins; it was invisible and untraceable, and impossible to guard against!
