Ye Ci had never felt so wronged in her life.
Why did she have to be so benevolent, even if it was only once in a hundred years? What friendship with the Alliance? What fate of meeting an old friend in a foreign land? Bullsh * t! Bullsh * t! As long as you don't want to be a busybody, no matter who the other party is, no matter what they say, don't be a busybody! Otherwise, you'll end up like me.
Ye Ci immediately activated the Featherfall skill on her mysterious ring. As for Spotless Autumn, who was already blasted to an unknown location, she did not care about him at all! Right now, the only thing she wanted to do was to protect her own life. As for anything else, it had nothing to do with her!!
The Featherfall skill was indeed effective. It slowed down Ye Ci's descent. However, in the face of a natural avalanche, such a slow descent did not have much effect.
This was because no matter how fast or slow you descended, there would still be a lot of blind snow that would smash into your head. With the Featherfall skill, Ye Ci could not constantly adjust her direction as if she was carrying a parachute. She could only accept the baptism of the snow.
If they were lucky, it would be fine if all the snow that hit them were loose chunks of snow. At most, they would be able to replenish their HP. If they were unlucky and all the snow that hit them were ice chunks … Well, then everyone had to pray for their own good fortune.
The heavens clearly did not want Ye Ci to die here. Even though Ye Ci was already in a sorry state due to the snow falling on her, she was not hit by any of the snow. All she needed to do was to chug down a health potion to keep herself alive.
Just as she was about to land on the ground, a huge piece of snow suddenly fell towards Ye Ci. In fact, Ye Ci had already noticed the snow, but she could not adjust her direction while she was in the middle of casting the Featherfall skill. She could only watch as the huge piece of snow flew towards her. Of course, she did not forget to take a look at her HP bar before she enjoyed the rare "luck". Fortunately, it was still full. Of course, she did not forget to curse Spotless Autumn a few more times in her heart.
Pain.
Ice cold.
Darkness.
Those were the three sensations Ye Ci felt when the huge piece of snow fell on her. As for why she did not feel anything else, it was because she was knocked unconscious. Of course, it was not the kind of fainting that caused her to faint. She had only lost consciousness for a brief moment before regaining consciousness.
As a gamer, regardless of whether they were an expert or a noob, there was a common habit. They would always pay attention to their health bar. Was it full? Was it empty? Or was it close to dying? Then, they would react accordingly.
Ye Ci was no exception. After she regained consciousness and confirmed that she was not dead, she immediately checked her status.
Very good, she still had 60 health points … That was really a vicious attack. One had to know that Ye Ci's health bar was more than 8,000. Although it was nothing compared to a Warrior, it was already very high among the Rogue, Hunter, and Ranger classes. Especially among the Hunters, there was no one with a higher health bar than her. That huge piece of snow had obviously taken away more than 7,000 health points. Moreover, she was still losing health points due to the frost damage from the piece of snow. Although she only lost 10 health points every three seconds, her 60 health points would not last for more than 20 seconds.
If she had woken up a little later, she would have been revived.
Ye Ci immediately opened her inventory and drank an Advanced Health Potion to replenish her HP. Only then did she have the time to think about other matters. Advanced Health Recovery Potions were in short supply in the market because there were not many people who knew how to make them. Right now, they were selling at a high price of 2,000 gold per bottle. Fortunately, Ye Ci had nurtured a few Potioneers Up Everyday. They had all reached the level of Advanced Health Recovery Potion, and some of them knew how to make Advanced Health Recovery Potions.
Normally, these Advanced Health Recovery Potions were kept in the guild storage for people to admire, and Ye Ci rarely went to get them. This time, she was going to the Northern Continent. Bai Mo and Timely Rain were worried that she would not be able to buy Advanced Health Recovery Potions there, so they specially asked the Potioneer called Kiss Fruit to make a dozen bottles for her. Originally, Ye Ci did not think that she would need to use them. However, Man proposes, God disposes. Now, they came in handy.
Ye Ci had to thank Timely Rain and Bai Mo from the bottom of her heart. Sometimes, it was good to be prepared.
After her Health Recovery Potion was full, Ye Ci finally had the time to observe her current location.
Everywhere was white, and it was white. It was bone-piercing cold, and there was only enough space for her. Ye Ci stretched out her hand and poked at the white in front of her. Fragments of ice fell and fell onto her face.
It was snow.
Moreover, it was extremely loose snow. It seemed that after the huge piece of snow fell on her, it formed a huge pile of snow on her body. Fortunately, the pile of snow was very dense and very loose. As long as she used all her strength, she would be able to dig her way out.
Ye Ci immediately used her hands and feet and began to work like a mole under the pile of snow. She tried her best to dig up the snow.
However, it did not go smoothly.
As she dug upwards, loose pieces of snow continued to fall. They fell beside her moving body. As she moved, the loose pieces of snow became more and more dense, making it more and more difficult for her to move. Not only that, being buried under such a pile of snow would cause her to continuously receive cold damage. This cold damage would stack at an extremely slow rate and infinitely. In less than ten minutes, the cold damage above Ye Ci's head had been stacked more than 20 times. Every three seconds, she would lose 300 HP. Although one or two hits were not much, it was still a terrifying thing.
Ye Ci had no choice but to stop. She took out a bottle of Cold Resistance Potion from her inventory and drank a bottle of Medium Slow Recovery Potion. Only then did she remove the cold damage and recover some of her HP. However, she did not dare to delay and continued to dig. She had to quickly get out of this pile of snow. Otherwise, she would suffer from the cold damage again.
Rumbling sounds continued to ring in his ears, and it seemed that there was still snow falling from the outside, which made the already dense snow pile even harder than before.
Ye Ci was in a lot of pain. Hard snow was very similar to stone in terms of hardness, but it was more dangerous than stone. This was because it could continuously melt and then condense into ice. It could also be cut by its sharp edges. Apart from these two points, there was something else that was even more perverse. The longer Ye Ci stayed in here, the thinner the air would become. This meant that if Ye Ci continued to dig at this speed, even if she did not freeze to death, she would suffocate to death.
Not to mention, on Ye Ci's character panel, she saw a "Suffocation" debuff. The debuff's existence caused her HP to drop continuously. Although it was only one drop per three seconds, the debuff could be stacked. What was even more frightening was that unless Ye Ci could dig out of the pile of snow and breathe in fresh air, there was no way she could stop the debuff from stacking. There was no cure.
Ye Ci tried to move her body, but the snow around her was very dense. Even if she was wearing a thick fur coat, she was still cut by the sharp snow. Although she did not bleed, Ye Ci felt a sharp pain from her leg.
It seemed that the movement of her body had caused her legs to be cut by the sharp ice cubes. Ye Ci's heart sank. It was not because of the wound, but because the wound reminded her of a very serious matter. Her surroundings were getting smaller and smaller, and her body was on the verge of being frozen. If she did not think of a solution soon, she would become the first person in the game to be frozen into a dried corpse.
Ye Ci suddenly missed Spotless Autumn. If he was here, he would have been able to blast the ice away with a Fireball. Even if he could not blast the ice away, he would at least be able to melt the ice away. She would not be in such a sorry state. It seemed that it was impossible for her to dig out of the pile of snow with her bare hands. Ye Ci reached for the dagger at her waist with great effort. She could feel the sharp icicles on the back of her hand. She could feel the sharp icicles cutting into the back of her hand with every movement she made. However, the pain was nothing to Ye Ci. It was nothing compared to the BOSS's claw.
Ye Ci finally reached her waist. She moved her fingers, and a dagger appeared between her fingers. She moved her fingers a few more times, and the dagger was already in her hand.
However, a problem immediately arose. It was like a monkey reaching into a pumpkin for the seeds. It was easy to reach into the pumpkin, but it was impossible to pull out your fist after clenching it. Ye Ci's hand twitched at the side of her thigh. It was impossible for her to retract her hand back to her sleeve.
Ye Ci narrowed her eyes, and exerted her strength. She felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand, and frowned at the pain. Fortunately, she was able to move her hand back to her chest, which was wide enough for her to swing her dagger around. It did not take long for her to feel the ice shards falling onto her chest, and they quickly disappeared. Thanks to the dagger, Ye Ci was able to move her head around in the narrow space.
Only then did she have the time to look at her hands. The fur gloves that were used to resist the cold had been completely scraped apart. Bits and pieces connected her fingers and wrist. Looking at the scraped area, it was easy to see that the back of her right hand was badly mutilated. Even though it didn't cause any damage, the scars caused by the ice cubes were still shocking to the eye.
Ye Ci glanced at it. Seeing that the wound on the back of her hand did not cause any damage, she did not pay it any mind. She did not think that it was a big deal. As long as she could get out of here, it was not a big deal even if she had a few more wounds on her body.
The dagger was very useful, and Ye Ci was able to quickly widen the narrow space around her. She tried her best to move her body. Finally, she was able to move her entire body. At this moment, the Suffocation and Cold damage stacked on her body. After Ye Ci could move, she immediately drank a Cold Resistance Potion and a Slow Recovery Potion. Then, she began to dig at the snow with her dagger.
Using a dagger was much more useful than using her hands. Ye Ci was able to climb up much faster. Actually, she was not buried too deep. She was just unlucky. She had fallen into a deep depression, so it took her a lot of effort to climb out.
When she stabbed her dagger for the last time, a bone-chilling wind blew in from the outside. It was as if it was trying to freeze Ye Ci alive, and she could feel the pain in her peripheral nerves. However, it was this kind of cold pain that made the Suffocation debuff disappear in an instant.
Finally, she could see the outside.
With an exit in hand, Ye Ci began swinging her dagger with all her might, and she was able to widen the hole so much that she could crawl out from it.
This was … too rare.
After climbing out of the hole, Ye Ci was still kneeling on the ground. She looked at the loose snow on the ground and took a deep breath. A long-lost happiness crept into her heart.
What was happiness? This was a difficult question to answer.
Everyone's definition of happiness was different. For some people, eating the best food, wearing the best clothes, driving a luxury car, and being covered in branded clothes was a form of happiness. For some people, living a stable life did not require too much wealth. As long as they were healthy, that was a form of happiness. The word 'happiness' could be interpreted as the safety of all human beings. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the environment was happiness. The word 'happiness' could be interpreted as' you have diarrhea and I have diarrhea. However, I am in the toilet and you are outside the toilet. Then, I am happy.
In short, the word 'happiness' was too broad.
For Ye Ci, being able to survive a fall from such a high place, being buried for so long, and being able to climb out of the ground safely and breathe the air that she had not been able to breathe for a long time was already a form of happiness.
Just as Ye Ci was gasping for air, she heard a series of slapping sounds coming from a distance.
The sound wasn't loud, but it was very consistent. It appeared about every three to four seconds. It sounded a little muffled and was not very bright. Ye Ci looked around, but did not find anything that could make such a discordant sound. Moreover, according to Ye Ci's judgment, this sound came from a profession. It was the most basic skill of this profession.
Soon, Ye Ci realized that the sound seemed to be coming from underground not too far away from her. The corners of her mouth twitched. She could not help but think of someone. Then, she shook her head. She felt that this thought was too scary and unlucky.
She staggered to her feet and ran into the distance. Her Stamina was almost depleted. She needed to find a place to replenish her Stamina. However, she definitely did not want to replenish her Stamina in this place. She did not want to be dragged down by that unlucky bastard.
It was just that sometimes, there were things that didn't go according to one's wishes.
Just as Ye Ci was about ten yards away, she heard a familiar voice behind her, "Oh my god, I'm finally out! I'm so tired!"
Hurry up! Hurry up!
Ye Ci continued to move forward. She even picked up her pace. She only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. She had a strong feeling that she would continue to be unlucky as long as she stayed with that bastard. She did not want to be associated with that word at all.
"I thought I was going to die here. How lucky." Spotless Autumn had just crawled out of the hole in the snow. He took a few deep breaths. He was thankful that he had brought enough potions with him. He was also thankful that he was lucky. He raised his head and looked around, only to find Gongzi You stumbling away. His heart was filled with warmth. So Gongzi You is still alive! He thought she was dead. Gongzi You! Gongzi You!
Although it was unlucky to be with Gongzi You, Spotless Autumn knew that it was better to have a teammate who was on par with him than to face the unknown alone.
Spotless Autumn immediately called out to Ye Ci's back, "Hey, hey, Gongzi You, I'm over here!"
Ye Ci shook her head and told herself, "This is an auditory hallucination. She'll be an idiot if she continues to be with this guy."
Spotless Autumn immediately got up when he saw that Ye Ci was ignoring him. He did not bury himself as deeply as Ye Ci, and the Suffocation debuff did not affect him much. He did not walk like Ye Ci, but instead, he walked as if he was drunk. His movements were a little sluggish at first, but he quickly recovered after a few steps. He caught up to Ye Ci and patted her on the shoulder, "Hey, hey, Gongzi You, where are you going?"
Ye Ci did not even turn her head as she quickened her pace. "This is an auditory hallucination. This is definitely an auditory hallucination!"
"Hey, hey, hey, can't you hear me? Did you lose your mind?" Even though Ye Ci was the Solo King of the Eastern Continent, she was still a woman in Spotless Autumn's eyes. He felt that it was his duty to fulfill his responsibility in this situation. After all, he was the one who started this quest. Therefore, he chuckled.
It's not an auditory hallucination. Ye Ci sighed and rolled her eyes at Spotless Autumn, "Stay away from me, you jinx. Nothing good has ever happened to me since I met you."
Spotless Autumn did not like what he heard, "If you're talking about bad luck, you're the jinx. Don't forget that I was your scapegoat!"
Ye Ci's face darkened even more, "But I didn't see anything happen to you in the end, did I?"
"You … You're shameless …" Before Ye Ci could finish her sentence, another loud howl was heard.
The two of them glanced at each other at the same time, then began to run wildly. However, as they ran, their mouths did not stay idle. They began to quarrel again. "Look, look, you still say that you're not a jinx! If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't have been chased by this monster! And it's a 24 hour one! Just admit it, Spotless Autumn. You must have done too much in your past life! "
"Gongzi You, I think you're the one who deserves to be stabbed! Of all the things in the Northern Continent, why did you have to run into me? "
"Do I have to report to you when I'm going out? Who do you think you are? I think only jinxes like you need to report to the public when they're going out. They don't even know why they're so unlucky when they run into you. You're just a person who hides in a dark room all the time! "
"You … You …" Spotless Autumn was a man, and he had always kept a low profile. Even when he met people from his own continent, they would always treat him with respect. How could he have the chance to argue with a woman? He could only stutter for a long time, unable to find the words to say.
Just as the two of them were arguing fiercely, another huge explosion sounded from the distant plains. The small avalanche that had just stopped started to fall again because of this huge explosion. However, this time, the avalanche was not as gentle as before. It was as if the entire Sacred Snow Mountain was enraged, and the accumulated snow that had accumulated over the years began to crumble.
The two of them were actually already at the foot of the snowy mountain in the Sacred Region, just on the edge of the plain. They looked back at the avalanche, and with the snowmen chasing after them, they immediately made the most accurate judgment — to run for their lives.
"What's this place?" Spotless Autumn did not buy a map, and it was his first time in the Northern Continent. He had no choice but to ask Ye Ci, who had a map.
"Mojamil Plains." After a long time, she did not receive any notifications from the system. She added, "Maybe."
Spotless Autumn rolled his eyes. He was not in the mood to ask any more questions. He gulped down a bottle of potion as he ran after Ye Ci.
He could not care less about the price of the potions. The Yeti Guardians were not the only ones chasing after them. There were also falling chunks of snow, ice, and rocks behind them. No matter how fast they were, they could only move at the speed of humans. They would not be able to hold on for long.
"We're in a plain. Can we find a place with obstacles? We won't be able to outrun the avalanche at this rate. It should be easier if there's an obstacle." Spotless Autumn asked when he saw Ye Ci looking at the map again. The Yeti Guardians were no longer a threat to the Natural Disaster. A small Boss was no longer a threat to them.
Right now, the two of them were like lice that were no longer itchy. Since they were going to die no matter what, they spoke much more calmly.
"I heard that the three major guilds were attacking the Desolate City when I was at the Fair Trade Market." Ye Ci closed the map. The Mojamil Plains was indeed a flat plain. There weren't even any hills or trees that could be used as cover. Ye Ci could only think of a human meat shield in such a situation.
Spotless Autumn might be a low-profile player, but he was known as the Solo King of the Southern Continent. He was definitely not a simple-minded person, nor was he a clean person. He immediately understood Ye Ci's intentions, and laughed dryly, "Gongzi, you're a meticulous person …"
Ye Ci rolled her eyes at Spotless Autumn, and replied with a fake smile, "Same here. Great God Qiushui really thinks the same way as me. "
Spotless Autumn could not care less about Ye Ci's sarcasm. He suddenly thought of another question, "Were those explosions caused by the Siege Chariots?"
Ye Ci raised an eyebrow. Spotless Autumn might not have been reincarnated, but he was still a knowledgeable person. Something like this could not be hidden from him.
"Then I don't have any psychological burden. I originally thought that after the avalanche passed, so many people died. But now, it seems that it's not the right time to take revenge." Spotless Autumn nodded. It seemed like he was quite mentally prepared to be able to come up with such a reason.
While the two of them were running away from the avalanche, the three major guilds in the Mojamil Plains were also engaged in the battle against the Desolate City.
Sapphire Shrine.
Sapphire Shrine stood on top of a chariot that was positioned at the back of the battlefield. As the commander of the Sapphire Shrine, Sapphire Shrine naturally did not charge into the frontlines himself. He had been observing the situation of the battle, and did not have the time to do anything else.
The Desolate City was located in the northwest of the Mojamil Plains. Behind the city was a dense forest, and there were only three sides that could be attacked. The three sides were the east, south, and west, and the three major guilds had each occupied one side of the city.
The east and west sides were the sides of the city, while the south side was the front of the city. Sapphire Shrine was the first guild to enter the Mojamir Plains, so they naturally occupied the best position. They set up their siege chariots in front of the desolate city. Only after that did the other two guilds enter the Mojamir Plains. Although it had only been two or three days since the start of the battle, the advantage of a battle was often determined in that short period of time.
As the second Star Guild to enter Mojamir Plains, although they had lost the best attacking surface, they had chosen a better location, which was the east side of the desolate city. Although this side was relatively narrow, Star's spies confirmed that this was the place with the loosest foundation among the three sides. Therefore, it should be easier to attack from here than from the other two sides. However, due to the limited area, Star Union did not spread their forces out like Sapphire Shrine. Instead, they chose to set up a tight formation.
This formation was much better than Sapphire Shrine's loose formation. At the very least, Star Union had the advantage of concentrating their firepower. However, the sides were not as good as the front. Even if they managed to break through, it would not be easy to enter the Desolate City.
As for the final western side, it was, without a doubt, Blood Fragrance's territory.
In terms of strength, Blood Rain Fragrance was not as strong as Sapphire Shrine and Star Union. However, they kept a low profile and had many ranged players. Although they were slightly weaker than the other two guilds, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. They were a large guild with a million members. They would not lose to anyone in terms of strength.
However, this time, Dry Bones was obviously here to take advantage of Star Union, so he did not buy many siege chariots. He was just putting on a show. Moreover, when the siege chariots were tossing bombs at the Desolate City, Dry Bones was one of the guilds that threw the least number of bombs. Moreover, they controlled the angle of their bombs very well. They basically threw the bombs at the front and west corners. This way, they could not be considered breaking the rules, and they could also take advantage of Sapphire Shrine. Dry Bones really had the brains of a businessman.
Sapphire Shrine looked at the front of the Desolate City. They still needed some time before they could break through the city gates. They raised their hands and ordered their men to reload their bombs. Sapphire Shrine was really rich. They bought six siege chariots and lined them up at the front of their formation. They filled the chariots with gunpowder and fired their bombs at the Desolate City at the same time. The deafening sound of the explosions was deafening.
Their presence was extraordinary, but it was also this extraordinary presence that caused the avalanche in the Snow Mountain of the Sacred Region.
Sapphire Shrine was the number one guild in the Northern Continent. Be it in terms of morale or the uniformity of their troops, the Sapphire Shrine was one of the best guilds in the entire Fate. Their cannons were fired at almost the same time, and the explosions were almost simultaneous.
"Bang!"
Ye Ci and Spotless Autumn were temporarily deafened by the deafening explosion. They could not even hear each other's words. They could only see each other's mouths moving. The situation only changed after half a minute. Ye Ci then heard Spotless Autumn cursing, "F * ck me! Which idiot fired those cannons?! They're only doing this because they don't want the Snow Mountain to collapse. "
"What's wrong?"
"You might not have heard it. I'm a mage. I have better resistance to sound waves than you. The avalanche happened after the cannons, and … "Spotless Autumn smiled bitterly.
"What else?" Ye Ci raised an eyebrow at Spotless Autumn's bitter smile. She felt that they were already unlucky enough. It would not be a big deal if they got even more unlucky.
"The Yeti Guardians seem to have increased in number. I've already spotted two of them behind us."
Ye Ci immediately turned around, but she saw nothing, "I'm not here."
"They've just been buried under the snow. But I don't think they're afraid of the avalanche. They'll be crawling out of the snow soon." Spotless Autumn looked ahead. There was a dense mass of Yeti about three hundred yards away. Even though he could not see clearly, his instincts told him that they were Yeti Guardians.
The weather in the Mojamil Plains was very good today. The visibility was very high, which was a cause for celebration. Spotless Autumn and Ye Ci were able to see what was going on in the distance. Naturally, the other three guilds were able to see what was going on in the distance as well.
Everyone heard a rumbling sound coming from behind them as soon as Sapphire Shrine fired the cannons.
Sapphire Style only felt her ears hurt from the sound of the cannons. She did not pay it any mind and continued to command the ranged players to cast another round of spells at the mobs that were running out of the desolate city.
No one had calculated the speed of the avalanche.
Ye Ci felt that the speed of the avalanche was unimaginable. She and Spotless Autumn had only started running three minutes before the avalanche arrived. Spotless Autumn was able to keep up with Ye Ci's speed by chugging down potions, but the avalanche was already less than eight hundred yards away from them in less than five minutes. At this rate, the avalanche would cover the entire Mojamil Plains in less than a minute!
Ye Ci took in a deep breath and said to Spotless Autumn when they were less than a hundred yards away from the main force, "Drink your potions! We're about to make our way through!"
"I know, I know." Spotless Autumn was already chugging down his potions. He had already forgotten how much the potions were worth. Of course, he did not want to remember either.
The first to discover that something was amiss was Bloody Rain Fragrance. Their guild was located at the southernmost point of the formation, and they were slightly further back. There was a powerful Thief group patrolling behind them, so these Thieves were the first to discover that something was amiss.
Dry Bones turned his head to look, only to see a huge snow-white, eye-piercing object moving rapidly in the distance. And at the front, there seemed to be two red dots of light. "What's that?" Dried Bones' heart skipped a beat.
"I don't know." Melodious Flute was also stunned by the situation before him. He answered Dried Bones instinctively, but the uneasiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger. His gaze fell on the two red dots running at the front of the pack. A person appeared in his mind …
Gongzi You. Is that Gongzi You?
