If Bloody Rain had discovered this strange situation, then Sapphire Shrine and Stellar Union wouldn't be far behind.
Sapphire Style looked at the back of the party with a serious expression. He turned to Thousand Miles Dream, who was in charge of patrolling the area, and asked, "What is this thing?"
Thousand Miles Dream was also dumbfounded. He stood there in a daze. He wasn't the only one. In fact, the majority of the players were also stunned.
No one could describe what they were seeing with their own eyes.
The white wave seemed to have a life of its own. It howled as it rushed towards Mojamil Plains, as if it wanted to devour all life on the plains. If this happened on the sea, it wouldn't be strange at all. However, this scene was happening inland, on Mojamil Plains. No matter how you looked at it, it was strange.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem The sky was blue, the plain was green, and the huge waves were white. Each color was fresh, elegant, and pleasing to the eye. However, for some reason, the combination of these colors sent chills down one's spine.
Lethal Venom pursed his lips tightly, squinting his eyes as he stared at the undulating 'giant waves' not far away. His hand gripped his magic staff so tightly that it seemed as though he was using up all of his strength. His hand gripped the magic staff so tightly that his knuckles turned blue and white. One could imagine how unsettled his heart was right now. He looked at the party around him and gave an order without hesitation, "Send all the siege engines to the safe zone as quickly as possible."
"Hm?" Nangong Yunfei watched as a group leader immediately left after receiving the order. He looked at Toxic and said, "Do you already know what it is?"
Toxic Poison shook his head, "I don't know, but it's definitely not something good." He took a deep breath, "But I'm sure that if we don't conserve our strength, we'll suffer a great loss this time."
"What about the guild members?" Nangong Yunfei looked at the guild members. Even though they had a rough idea of what was going on, they were all calm and unruffled. They didn't seem to care about the disaster that was about to befall them.
Toxic Poison took a deep breath, "We can't run away. We can only retreat. Save as much as we can."
Nangong Yunfei immediately relayed the order. In less than twenty seconds, the entire Stellar Union had retreated from the best position to attack Mojamil City. Most of them retreated into the forest at the edge of the city. Meanwhile, Sapphire Shrine and Bloody Fragrance had already begun withdrawing all of their members and siege engines.
As expected of a large Guild. From the moment they discovered the danger to the moment they issued the command to retreat, less than 30 seconds had passed. Only, compared to the speed of the avalanche, their speed was still too slow.
"They seem to be retreating." Spotless Autumn was still unable to outrun the Huntress despite the large amount of potions he had in hand. There was really nothing he could do about it. His legs were really too short, so short that it made people cry.
"We'll die if we don't retreat." Ye Ci saw the players from the three guilds retreating to the edge of Desolate City.
"What I'm trying to say is that it's too late for them to retreat now. Besides … "Spotless Autumn narrowed his eyes as a smile flashed across his face," There should be monsters guarding the edge of Mojamil City. I don't think they'll be able to do much if they just retreat like that. "
After giving it some thought, Ye Ci agreed with his words. Time aside, the large party would have to deal with the high level monsters that would swarm out of the desolate city if they were to retreat at the same time. Ye Ci suddenly thought of another question, "Hey, how many Merit points do you have?"
"You want to farm Merit points?" Spotless Autumn's eyes sparkled like the stars in the night sky.
"Should I say that you're smart, or should I say that you're scheming?" Ye Ci narrowed her eyes as a smile appeared on her face. This guy had thought of the same thing as her.
"It doesn't matter. If I can think of the same thing as you, it means that you're not any better than me." Spotless Autumn chuckled, "But the problem is that we're not the ones who caused the avalanche. So the Merit points shouldn't be counted as ours."
That was indeed a problem.
At the end of the day, the avalanche was caused by the siege machines of the three major guilds. Even if they had anything to do with the avalanche, it would still be due to their efforts to protect the Yeti. They were just pitiful people who were being chased all over the place.
Ye Ci fell silent. They were players after all, and they had yet to solve the problem. Sometimes, players were players, the system was the system, and the rules were the rules. They could not be broken no matter what. However, that was not always the case.
Some players were controlled by the rules, while some players wandered above the rules.
At the very least, from the looks of the current situation, there was one person who walked above the rules. Spotless Autumn suddenly took out a bottle of potion from his inventory and tossed it to Ye Ci, "I have an idea, but I'm not sure if you're willing to part with it."
Ye Ci caught the potion that Spotless Autumn tossed to her. The potion was contained in a small crystal bottle, and the black liquid within it glowed with an unfathomable light. Ye Ci looked at the name of the potion: Nameless Potion. Attracts all aggro on the map for one second, and grants invulnerability for 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, the target will lose a level, 10% of their gold coins, and a random piece of equipment. Cannot be picked up by the player.
"You made it?"
"Of course not. I once soloed a Hidden Boss. It was an Apothecary. After it died, it only dropped two average Potion Recipes and two bottles of this potion. I've been carrying it with me for a long time now, but I've never had the chance to use it. Who would've thought that things would turn out this way? "Spotless Autumn smirked, as if the world was filled with unpredictability.
Ye Ci remained silent as she stared at the potion.
"It's fine if you're not willing to part with it. Just help me pick up the equipment later." Spotless Autumn smiled. He did not seem to mind Ye Ci's silence.
Ye Ci smiled as she took out two bottles of Advanced Invisibility Potion from her inventory and tossed one to Spotless Autumn, "You better stick close to me. Don't run too far. Stand beside me when you lose a level, and we'll be able to pick up the equipment together."
Even though Spotless Autumn was sprinting at top speed, he was still nimble in his movements. He caught the bottle of potion that Ye Ci tossed to him without missing a beat. It was as if he had practiced this for a long time. He lowered his head to look at the name of the potion, and sighed, "Where did you find the recipe?"
Ye Ci glanced at Spotless Autumn, and saw the unconcealable adoration on his face. From the way Spotless Autumn fed her potions and the way he gave her, she could tell that his Alchemy skills were not low. It made sense. A solo player would have a hard time even if he became a top player if he did not know how to make potions. Even if Spotless Autumn was poor, his life would be even worse if he did not know how to make potions.
Ye Ci narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I don't have the time to look for the recipe. It's just that our guild has a team that specializes in finding the recipe." Ye Ci said, but she added in her heart, Of course, I'm the one who provided the recipe.
Spotless Autumn's eyes lit up when he heard Ye Ci's words, as if two light bulbs were shining in his eyes. He tried his best to suppress his emotions and make himself look calm. However, the slight sense of urgency in his voice still revealed his excitement. "Your guild has a team that specializes in finding the recipe?"
Actually, every guild had a few Life Profession players to provide for the guild's own needs. However, these high level Life Profession players could only be found by chance. In addition, although the guild valued the Lifestyle players, it was more important for them to expand their territory. Things like dungeons, sieges, and battles that greatly affected the guild's ranking and influence would definitely take up a large amount of the guild's funds. The amount of money that could be allocated to the Lifestyle players to practice their skills was very little. Not to mention finding a team of people with good skills and equipment to look for the Life Recipes.
Life Players in the early stages of the game were very costly. They had to spend a lot of money to buy materials to increase their skill points. Only with enough money would they be able to reach the High Level. However, if they didn't have enough money …
This was something that Bai Mo and Timely Rain had discussed when Upwards Ho! was first established. Although the two of them had different opinions, Timely Rain, who supported the idea of prioritizing the guild's Life Players, changed his mind after Ye Ci recruited a large number of Life Players into the guild. That was why Up Everyday had always been a small guild. Based on the rewards they received, they could have expanded Up Everyday's guild by five or six times. However, the guild's upper management decided to focus on the Life Players first. Hence, most of the guild's funds were used to buy materials for the Life Players. That was why Up Everyday was still a small guild. However, the number of Life Players in the guild was still very high.
It was because of all these reasons that Spotless Autumn was tempted to join the guild. It should be known that although he was strong and had challenged many BOSSes and obtained many recipes, he was still only one person. No matter how strong he was, if he did not use any tricks in the game, he would only be able to take on five opponents at the very most. This kind of ability naturally could not compare to a team of dozens or even hundreds of people who were specialized in looking for recipes. Spotless Autumn could not help but envy the Life Players in Up Everyday. They were really lucky. They only needed to train their skills in the guild encampment and did not have to worry about anything else. Even the recipes were specially prepared by the guild.
Ye Ci pretended that she did not notice the admiration in Spotless Autumn's voice. She stared at the Life Player without saying a word. She wanted to take this opportunity to recruit this Life Player into her guild. However, it was not a good time to do so. The two of them were still running for their lives, and the two of them were not that close yet. She had already signed a contract with Spotless Autumn. As long as the contract was in place, there was no need to worry about Spotless Autumn running away.
They were getting closer and closer to the main forces.
Although the large forces of these guilds had begun to retreat in an orderly manner, it was simply a pipe dream for so many people to retreat within a minute. Therefore, what awaited them was an avalanche that could destroy the heavens and the earth!
"Who are those two red dots at the front?" Lethal Venom narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two red dots running in front of the white wave. Their speed was extremely fast and it looked like they were being chased by the white wave to the point of no return. However, it was more like they were leading the white wave towards them.
Nangong Yunfei pursed his lips, "If I'm not wrong …"
Lethal Poison waved his hand, gesturing for Nangong Yunfei to stop talking. He smiled bitterly, "Man proposes, God disposes. I thought it was a pity that I couldn't fight against those two, but I didn't expect them to come knocking on my door."
"Guild Leader …" Nangong Yunfei stared at Lethal Poison's expression. He did not know what the Life Player was thinking.
"Get all the Shield Warriors into a defensive formation. We're at the east, so we should be the least affected." Although Lethal Poison was cursing at the two red dots in his heart, cursing alone wouldn't solve all the problems. The only thing he could do now was to minimize the damage to the entire team.
At the same time, Sapphire Shrine's and Bloody Fragrance's Shield Warriors were already in formation. They stood at the very front of the other teams, while the Shield Warriors of the three large guilds formed four arcs with their shields. Under the sunlight, the metal shields reflected the dazzling rays of the sun, which were somewhat dazzling.
"They're not bad. They're able to react so quickly." Ye Ci's tone was filled with disdain when she saw the shield wall that the three guilds had constructed in such a short period of time. She was impressed. As expected of the three strongest guilds in the Northern Continent. Be it in terms of strategy or coordination, Upwards Ho! was no match for them. It seemed that Upwards Ho! still had a long way to go before it could become a true large guild.
"Do you think the leaders of the three major guilds know that we're the ones leading the way?" asked Spotless Autumn with a smile. "Do you think the leaders of the three major guilds know that we're the ones leading the way?"
"They know." Ye Ci nodded. They were the three strongest guilds in the Northern Continent. How could they not know?
"Then do you think they'll curse us to death?"
"I would too if I were them. Not only would I curse them to death, but I'd also make their lives a living hell in the Northern Continent." Ye Ci remained expressionless. She knew what Spotless Autumn was going to say.
"So, where should the two of us retreat from?" Spotless Autumn shrugged, but he did not seem nervous at all. It was as if he did not care about being wanted by the Northern Continent.
Ye Ci pondered for a moment, before a question came to her mind, "Are the Snowmen Guardians dead?"
Spotless Autumn was speechless. He had completely forgotten about this matter.
Even though Spotless Autumn's legs were short, his speed and jumping ability had been increased by a notch due to the large amount of Speed Potions he had ingested. Furthermore, Ye Ci had already taught him how to run, how to make use of his jumping ability and inertia to jump. That was why he was able to jump over the Shield Wall that was formed by the Warriors with a high level of proficiency. He followed closely behind Ye Ci, and did not fall behind at all.
Usually, if two players from opposing continents were to jump into such a sea of players, they would end up being chopped into pieces. However, the situation today was very special. Behind the two players was a roaring white wave. It was not worth it to be distracted to deal with the two players. Therefore, the two players easily flipped over the four shield walls and disappeared into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
The two players immediately gulped down a bottle of Nameless Potion after jumping over the Shield Wall.
Actually, the two of them only wanted to attract [Avalanche]'s aggro. This way, all the achievement points would be credited to the two of them. But, man proposes, God disposes. The two of them had completely forgotten that the three guilds were currently attacking Desolate City. There were still many monsters around Desolate City. If they drank the potion, not only would they attract the aggro of [Avalanche], but they would also attract the aggro of these monsters.
"Heavens, why are there so many monsters?" A chill ran down Spotless Autumn's spine when he saw the horde of monsters charging towards them. Even though they were currently invulnerable, their invulnerability would only last for 60 seconds. If they could not find a way out in 60 seconds, they would be turned into ice sculptures again. He looked up and saw the Stellar Union near the forest. He immediately ran towards it. "Hurry up, let's climb up the tree."
Ye Ci looked back. Avalanche was right in front of her. She estimated that it would take at most five seconds for it to reach her. She and Spotless Autumn were still twenty yards away from the edge of the forest. Even though it was not far, there were too many players in front of them. It was impossible for them to reach the edge of the forest in five seconds.
Ye Ci pulled out her Cat Claw and grabbed onto Spotless Autumn's belt. The Cat Claw in her right hand flew out and latched onto the thickest tree in the forest. Ye Ci pulled, and the Cat Claw flew towards the tree.
Everything happened too quickly. Spotless Autumn did not even have time to react before Ye Ci grabbed him by the waist and sent him flying again. By the time he realized what was going on, Ye Ci had already pulled him onto the branch of a large tree.
Spotless Autumn did not even have time to say a word before the first row of Guardians was annihilated. Then the second row, the third row, and the fourth row! Although the sacrifice of these few rows of Shield Warriors had significantly slowed down the raging avalanche, it was not an easy task for humans to overcome nature.
Under the frightening avalanche, the originally orderly teams of the three guilds were thrown into chaos. Everyone wanted to escape, but in such a situation, escape seemed to be a very slim possibility. In the blink of an eye, the avalanche had swallowed all the creatures on the plains with an indestructible momentum. It spread all the way to the center of the forest and below Desolation City. Only then did the avalanche seem to gradually stop.
The powerful impact caused the tree that Ye Ci and Spotless Autumn were hugging to collapse. Fortunately, the tree did not collapse completely, or the two of them would have been buried under the snow once again. The two of them hugged the tree as they stared blankly at the scene unfolding before their eyes.
How long?
They did not know.
The two of them only felt that in a very short period of time, so much so that they didn't even blink their eyes, so many lives were buried under the white snow just like that. The once lush Mojamil Plains had turned into a snowy plain.
Nature's destructive power was simply too terrifying.
"Invulnerability duration has expired. You will receive the punishment of being invulnerable."
While the two of them were still hugging the tree and staring blankly at the current situation, the system ruthlessly reminded them of what had happened to them.
"Ah, I really dropped a level." Spotless Autumn looked at his level. He had dropped to lvl59. He was not worried that no one would be able to pick up his equipment as he was with Ye Ci. However, he had lost a tenth of his gold coins.
The gold coins did not fall to the ground, but were instead retrieved by the system. Spotless Autumn could not even hope to pick them up from the ground. He could not help but feel the pinch in his heart.
Ye Ci looked at her equipment. Her Mysterious Ring had fallen to the ground under the tree. Another ring had fallen to the ground at the same time as her Mysterious Ring, and it should belong to Spotless Autumn. The monsters under the tree were all buried under the avalanche. Even if they did not die, it would not be easy for them to get back up. Ye Ci jumped down from the tree and bent down to pick up Spotless Autumn's Ring. She took a look at the properties of the ring out of habit.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she could not help but look at Spotless Autumn. This guy's luck is pretty good, to be able to find such a heaven-defying item.
Ring of Sorobabo: The beloved item of the greatest Sorcerer, Sorobabo. It was once buried together with his body in a tomb that never saw the light of day. Orange Item (Hidden): Attribute (Hidden): Allows the user to control Ice, Fire, and Lightning Magic. Attribute (2): Hidden. Attribute (3): Hidden.
Ye Ci waved her hand at Spotless Autumn, "Come down and pick up your loot."
Spotless Autumn was wondering if he would be injured after jumping down from the tree. He looked up and saw the ring in Ye Ci's hand. He lowered his head and sighed. How unlucky of him to have dropped this ring. Now, his secret has been exposed. He let go of the ring and landed on the soft snow. He got up and patted the snow off his body as he walked towards Ye Ci.
Spotless Autumn picked up the other ring from where Ye Ci was standing. He smiled after looking at the properties of the ring, "No wonder you survived the fall. It's because of this ring." He did not think of anything else. Even though the ring's properties were not suitable for a Hunter, the properties of the Featherfall spell were far superior to the ring's properties. That was why Ye Ci chose the ring.
Ye Ci smiled without saying a word. She exchanged items with Spotless Autumn and wore the ring on her finger. She then looked up at Spotless Autumn with a smile, "Your ring is pretty good."
Spotless Autumn responded with a smile. It seemed that no player would comment on their equipment, especially the ring on Spotless Autumn's finger. The ring was the reason why he was able to reach his current level in the first place.
"Let's find an NPC to bind it to. It'll be a pity if it drops again." Ye Ci turned around and tidied up her equipment. She then looked at her achievement bar. She had already reached the rank of Grand Marshal a long time ago. In fact, she even had a lot more Achievement Points than before. She would be able to level up the next time she had more Achievement Points. Not bad at all. She only saw that her screen was filled with golden achievement points. The speed was so fast that she couldn't even see what was written on it. She only felt that countless golden rays were constantly flashing in front of her eyes. It was extremely dazzling.
"Wow, it's great to be able to earn Achievement Points like this. I'm already a Grand Marshal. This is great, "Spotless Autumn said as he looked at his achievement bar," I'll be able to get a good set of PVP equipment when I get back to Gale City. "
Ye Ci suddenly remembered the Yeti Guardian, "I remember there are two Yeti Guardians chasing after me. Can you find them?"
"I can only find one. I think the other one is already dead." Spotless Autumn was one of the Yeti Guardians' main targets, so he was able to locate the Yeti Guardians. He studied the Yeti Guardians for a moment before looking up at the white plains of Mojamil, "That one is probably hiding in the snow, but I'm not sure where it is." A smile appeared on his face as he spoke, "It's finally out of combat mode. Good one."
"What's wrong?" Ye Ci raised an eyebrow at the mischievous smile on Spotless Autumn's face.
"It's time to go home!" Spotless Autumn lowered his head and began to chant a spell. A black hole soon appeared in front of them.
Ye Ci was shocked. It was Spatial Magic! Even though she was known as a top Sorcerer in her past life, she did not manage to find a single Spatial Magic Skill Book. "You know Spatial Magic?"
"A little. Just a little." Spotless Autumn did not want to reveal too much about himself. He smiled and gestured to Ye Ci with his right thumb and index finger, "Are you coming with me or not? This door leads to Gale City. If you have something to do, go ahead. If you don't have anything to do, come with me. " Spotless Autumn pondered for a moment, "If you stay, you'll have to face more than just the Yeti Guardians …"
Ye Ci understood the logic behind this. The Mojamil Plains might be quiet, but there were still plenty of players who had yet to obtain Honor Points, and were struggling to climb out of the snowy plains. If she stayed, she would have to face these players and the Yeti Guardians … Even though she still had a quest to run errands, Ye Ci decided to save it for later.
As for the Mithril ore vein in the Northern Continent … Ye Ci hesitated for a moment. Even if she wanted to take it, she would not be able to do so. She already had two Mithril ore veins in her hands. As for the Mithril ore vein in the Northern Continent … So be it. Even if Golden Era took over the Mithril ore vein one day, they would not be able to do anything to it.
"Alright. I'll return to Gale City as well." After weighing the pros and cons, Ye Ci decided to return to Gale City with Spotless Autumn.
Even though Gale City was under the control of The Black Plum Family and the Isle of Heroes, it was still under the control of the Southern Continent's Alliance.
With a flash of light, the two of them appeared in the Wizard's Tower in Gale City.
The Wizard's Tower was a place where Magicians could learn and level up new skills. It was where the best Magician NPCs of the Southern Continent gathered. There were also hidden quests that were often given out, which was why Magicians loved to visit the tower.
The landing point for Spatial Magic was the first underground floor of the Wizard's Tower. The Mage's Tower had a total of three floors. The first floor was used as a landing point for spatial magic and was guarded by four Level 200 Great Mages. The second floor was used to store the energy stones of the Mage's Tower and was guarded by six Level 240 Elite Great Mages. The third floor was used to store the magic array that powered the Mage's Tower. It was extremely important and was guarded by eight Level 300 Boss ranked Great Mages.
However, normal Magicians were only allowed to enter the first floor. The second and third floors were off-limits.
The two of them climbed out of the first floor and saw many Magicians walking in and out of the Wizard's Tower. Spotless Autumn took in a deep breath and smiled, "It's nice not to see those glowing red people."
Ye Ci felt the same way. She smiled, "Alright. I have something to do. I'll be leaving now. As for the contract … "
Spotless Autumn's expression turned unnatural at the mention of the contract. Ye Ci pretended not to notice it and chuckled, "We'll talk about it when I need your help."
Spotless Autumn was indignant, "Is this how you treat your savior? Do you have to be so calculative? "
Ye Ci raised an eyebrow, "I think it's more appropriate for me to return those words to you." Ye Ci ignored Spotless Autumn and left the Wizard's Tower, heading towards the teleportation stone at the center of Hurricane City. Ye Ci arrived at Red Lake City in no time.
Ye Ci took in a deep breath as soon as she stepped into Red Lake City. Sure enough, it's best to be in your own territory. However, Ye Ci did not have much time to relax. Before she could even reach the NPC stationed at the Guild Encampment, the World Channel was already in chaos.
Of course, Ye Ci did not turn on the World Channel, but that did not mean that others would not do the same. The Guild Channel was in chaos. Ye Ci's Private Channel was also in chaos. It was as if the entire world had gone crazy.
Ye Ci was puzzled. Her private channel did not usually receive many calls. Why would it be so noisy at a time like this?
Bai Mo: "What's wrong? What happened? "
Timely Rain: "Gongzi, what's going on?"
Fruit Jelly: "Hey, hey, hey. What did you do in someone else's territory again?"
Sir Ditty: "Do you need any help?"
Flawless Reflection: "If you need help, I'll be the first to support you."
Unbridled Willow: "Do you need help? I'll be right there. "
Zero Arsenic: "Hehe, Gongzi, who did you offend this time?"
Flutter's Sway: "Ye Ci, what's wrong? Why are you being hunted down? "
Cub Wolf: "Little Ci, what's going on? What's going on? What's going on? "
Lukewarm Water: "Gongzi, what's wrong? Help me out. "
NightAndDay: "I have some connections with them. You can talk to them if you need help."
Past Feelings: "I have a good relationship with Sapphire Shrine. What's going on? Do you need me to help?"
… …
Ye Ci's private channel buzzed with activity. These people were usually lying in Ye Ci's friend list like dead people, and would never come back to life. But today, all of them had come back to life. It was a spectacular sight, and Ye Ci was on the verge of fainting when she heard the ruckus in her private channel. For a moment, she didn't know what was going on, but in order to protect her ears and brain, she immediately reached out and turned off the private channel to give herself some peace and quiet.
She then opened the Guild Channel and stared at the chat at the bottom of the screen. Although the messages were flooding in quickly, there was no doubt that all the messages were directed at Ye Ci. Everyone was anxious, and Ye Ci did not know what was going on. After a while, she understood what was going on.
She then turned on the World Channel, the culprit behind all this. (To be continued.) If you like this series, you're welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
