Ye Ci could feel the veins on her temples throbbing. She must've had a stroke of bad luck recently. She had always been playing the game with ease. Why else would she encounter so many obstacles in the game?
Other things that didn't go well were fine. After all, she could always think of a way to deal with the game no matter how bad things went. However, when it came to dealing with this guy, she only felt a headache. Ye Ci did not want to see Fleeting Time, especially after the events that she did not want to remember. Every time she saw him, she would be reminded of how much of a coward she used to be.
Coward. Oh, that was a word that had never existed in Gongzi You's life. Every time she met Fleeting Time, it would pop out.
However, she could not completely ignore a certain someone's pestering because this b * tch had no bottom line at all. To him, rejecting and ignoring her meant even more pestering. God, she still wanted to live for a few more days.
"Say, what kind of fate is this? How did I get to meet you every time I respawn in a random graveyard?" Ye Ci sighed and turned to look at Fleeting Time, who was sitting on top of a tombstone. She could feel a splitting headache coming on.
"Did you respawn in a random graveyard as well?" Fleeting Time raised an eyebrow at Ye Ci's question, and his carefree attitude disappeared.
"What do you mean by 'as well' …" Ye Ci rolled her eyes and walked to the tombstone furthest away from Fleeting Time. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and stared at Fleeting Time, "Don't tell me that you were also killed by a BOSS and respawned in a random graveyard?"
Fleeting Time rubbed his chin with interest, and stared at Ye Ci for a moment, "So that's how you died." Ye Ci sighed. She looked up at the sky and sighed. She did not admit to Fleeting Time's guess, but she had no choice but to admit to it. Fleeting Time nodded, "It's the same for me. There are some differences in the details, but I was teleported to a random graveyard just like you."
Ye Ci always felt powerless in front of Fleeting Time, but she could not deny that Fleeting Time was a player who was on par with her in terms of class control, game progression, and quests. Ye Ci's curiosity was piqued after hearing Fleeting Time's explanation.
"You were killed by a quest BOSS?"
"Looks like you were killed by a quest BOSS." Fleeting Time was certain of his conclusion after listening to Ye Ci's tone.
Ye Ci nodded, "You're right. I was indeed killed by a quest BOSS. It seems that you're in the same situation as well." She then sneered, "Who would've thought that the high and mighty Fleeting Time would die one day."
Fleeting Time chuckled and scratched his head, "What's wrong? If Gongzi You can die, why can't I, Fleeting Time, die? "He then stretched his back and laughed," Everyone, from newbies to veterans, dies. "
Fleeting Time was about to continue chatting with Ye Ci, but his expression suddenly changed. He lowered his head and cursed under his breath before looking up at Ye Ci, "Let's not talk about this anymore, Mystery. I have something to do today. Let's talk next time." With that, he ran away.
Ye Ci was confused. Fleeting Time was a persistent stalker, and she was surprised that he left so quickly. However, she was relieved that she was able to get rid of him so quickly. She did not know why she was displeased, but it was nothing compared to the fact that she was able to say goodbye to him so quickly.
Ye Ci grinned and raised her arm, "Take care. It's best if we never meet again."
Fleeting Time turned back to look at her with a smile, "I'm sorry, but you can't do what you want." Fleeting Time was talking to Ye Ci, but it was obvious that he was in a hurry to leave. Ye Ci had never seen him run so quickly before, and she could not help but be curious.
Before Ye Ci could fully express her curiosity, a system notification rang in her ears, "Naga's minions have locked onto your location. A large group of Naga's minions will be arriving soon. Please be prepared."
What? Naga's minions?
Ye Ci immediately thought of Ronal's level. Don't tell me that they're all at the same level as him …
Just as this thought entered her mind, she couldn't help but shiver. No way! If all of them were as strong as Ronal, wouldn't it be the same as sending him to his death?
Ye Ci scanned her surroundings, but she did not see any Naga's minions. But there was nothing wrong with running for her life. She didn't think too much about it. She immediately summoned Ol 'Six and climbed onto his back. She randomly picked a direction and quickly took off.
Ye Ci scanned her surroundings and soared through the air for a minute, but she still did not see any of the Naga's minions. She was puzzled. Is the system trying to trick me? Just as she was deep in thought, a gust of wind blew past her ear. She turned around instinctively, and her heart nearly stopped beating. Suddenly, a huge crack appeared in the sky, and a huge monster squeezed out from the crack. It looked like a centipede with many claws, and it rushed towards him while spitting out clouds of mist!
Ye Ci immediately grabbed Ol 'Six and retreated. But when she turned around, she realized that a similar monster had appeared behind her. She managed to dodge it, but … She turned her body sideways and flew a few steps before she felt a headache coming on. The entire sky was cracking open, and countless centipede monsters were charging toward her. Even though this was a virtual reality game, and she could fly 360 degrees without any blind spots, the enemy's monsters also spread out without any blind spots. In less than a minute, Ye Ci's path was completely blocked.
Ye Ci looked at the monsters charging at her and sighed. They were all Lv 120 Elites. There was no way she could defeat them. Looks like she's going to die again.
I might as well give up. There's no way out. Ye Ci let out a sigh and surrendered. In the blink of an eye, she became a corpse once again. Just like before, she could not be picked up and could only respawn in the graveyard. But this time, she respawned at the Crimson Highlands.
Fleeting Time's voice was heard again as soon as Ye Ci respawned in the graveyard, "No way! How did you die again?" Fleeting Time's voice was filled with shock.
Ye Ci looked over and saw Fleeting Time standing in the middle of the graveyard. It seemed that he had just respawned as well. Ye Ci was surprised, "Did you die again?"
Fleeting Time stared at Ye Ci, and spoke after a pause, "Did you die because the system notified you that a special monster had appeared?"
Ye Ci narrowed her eyes, "Is that how you died?"
"I think you're the same." Fleeting Time laughed and scratched his head, "Were you killed by the Naga's minions?"
This time, Ye Ci was truly shocked. Even though she had guessed that Fleeting Time had completed a similar quest, she was not sure if he was in the same situation as her. But now that Fleeting Time had mentioned it, she was almost certain that they were in the same quest, "What quest did you get?"
Fleeting Time was about to say something, "We'll talk about that later. I'm about to receive another notification about the appearance of the Naga's minions. Why don't we work together? I died because there were too many monsters. We should be able to handle them if you're with us."
Ye Ci agreed without hesitation. Fleeting Time's skills were undeniable. She knew that she was no match for the Naga's minions. If they were to fight two waves of monsters together, they would have a higher chance of winning. She did not want to have anything to do with Fleeting Time, but she knew that the chances of survival in the Middle Continent were much higher. Furthermore, their quest was the same, and there was no reason for them not to work together in the neutral Middle Continent.
After all, neither Ye Ci nor Fleeting Time was willing to risk their experience points.
After forming the party, Fleeting Time ran towards the east of the graveyard with Ye Ci following closely behind. The two chatted as they ran, and Ye Ci soon found out that Fleeting Time's quest was the same as hers. They had both received a hidden side quest related to the Elven King Dau 'er, and were tasked by an NPC to protect an arrow. The only difference was that the NPC was not Tamra. It seemed that there were more than one hidden side quest in Fate. As long as a player met the conditions to trigger the quest, they would be able to accept the quest without any restrictions.
The only question that still troubled Ye Ci was …
"What was the arrow that was given to you?"
"A Flaming Arrow." Fleeting Time did not hide anything from Ye Ci. He had always been impressed by Ye Ci's skill and sensitivity to quests. She was now one of his own. Even though Ye Ci did not seem to approve of him, it did not stop him from telling her everything. "You didn't get this arrow?"
"No, I got a Venomous Arrow." Ye Ci answered honestly, "How many arrows have you collected from the Elven King?"
"Two and a Dark Arrow." Just like Ye Ci, Fleeting Time's quest was the same as Ye Ci's, "What about you?"
"I've got two as well. The other one is a Holy Arrow." Ye Ci pondered for a moment, and another question popped up in her mind, "Speaking of which, our arrows are all different. Does this mean that the five arrows can only appear once?"
"I'm not sure about that. Let's think about it after we're done with the monsters." Fleeting Time sighed and frowned, "There will be a lot of monsters later. Be careful."
"I have a Dragon. Summon it and let it fly."
Fleeting Time immediately shook his head, "No, you can't summon a pet that can fight in the air. If you summon a pet that can fight in the air, the monsters in the air will turn into monsters in the air. You have to know that the monsters in the air are much more powerful than the monsters on the ground."
Ye Ci was stunned by Fleeting Time's explanation, "So the monsters respawn rate is based on the level of the highest level monster in the party?"
"That's right. That's why I gave up on flying and only ran on the ground. I didn't even dare to summon my pet because I was afraid that it would increase the level and strength of my pursuers. However, there are still certain disadvantages for a Hunter without a pet in the wild. There's no other way." Fleeting Time spoke calmly. There was no hint of depression in his voice. Instead, there was a hint of excitement in his voice.
"There will be two waves of monsters later. Be careful not to get surrounded." Ye Ci could understand the excitement in Fleeting Time's heart. Every top player would be filled with the desire to fight against an insurmountable challenge. After standing at the top for so long, they needed to train themselves to new heights.
The two waves of Naga's minions arrived one after another. As Ye Ci and Fleeting Time did not summon a pet, the monsters respawned according to their level and strength. They were a group of normal monsters that were around level 75. There were no Elite monsters, but their numbers were more than enough. The two of them continuously dashed around the Crimson Highland, the bows in their hands shooting out dazzling skills.
Their teamwork was so good that it was hard to tell that they were from opposing factions. The two did not communicate with each other during the entire battle. They would only exchange glances with each other occasionally, but they would immediately look away. However, it was as if they were already familiar with each other's movements and tactics.
Running and shooting at such a high intensity was a very exhausting task. Fortunately, the system was not so perverted as to not give the two of them any time to rest. After about ten minutes of fighting, the two groups of monsters had all fallen.
Ye Ci could not even lift her arms when the last monster fell to the ground. She turned to look at Fleeting Time, who smiled at her and tossed her a pouch of alcohol, "This is the best Stamina Recovery Tequila in Hero City."
Ye Ci gulped down the Tequila without hesitation. As expected, the Tequila replenished her Stamina very quickly. Her red Stamina bar quickly turned green, indicating that she was full of energy. She exhaled and looked at her bag. She was running out of supplies. If she continued to fight like this and couldn't replenish her supplies, she was afraid that she would soon become a cripple.
Fleeting Time walked up to the rock where Ye Ci was sitting, and opened up the trade window, revealing a list of items. Ye Ci was surprised, "What are you doing?"
"You have a red name and you're a wanted criminal in Hero City, and you're telling me all this? Just run out of ammo. "Fleeting Time pursed his lips, ignoring Ye Ci's reaction. (To be continued.)
