Time ticked by. From the afternoon, it was gradually approaching midnight. It was still completely silent.
Every 10 minutes, Yun Feng would contact the scouts and ask them about the situation and what the guilds were doing. All of the players from the Disillusion Alliance and Snow Moon Loulan remained where they were, and not a single person left. Their expressions were strangely the same … they were all very calm, and there was not a single trace of fear or panic on their faces. This wasn't because they had strong mental fortitude, but because they all knew the consequences of staying here. Just the Yan Huang Alliance alone was enough to annihilate all of them, not to mention the countless other factions. Since the outcome was already decided, there was no chance of them getting lucky, so what was there to be afraid of?
Normally, it was almost impossible to see players in the Cyan Forest Town, but today, there were all sorts of players. These players all met each other, and without saying a word, they all ran towards the same place … the Item Shop. The Item Shop in the Cyan Forest Town, which usually had very little business, was completely flooded by players today. They only bought one thing, which was teleport scrolls for the Cyan Forest Town. Moreover, they bought them for tens of thousands … in a single day, tens of millions of teleport scrolls were sold, causing the female boss of the Item Shop to be so happy that her mouth became crooked.
The arrival of midnight signified the end of the day and the beginning of a new day. The hearts of the people standing guard in front of the new city grew increasingly tense. Everyone's gaze was fixed on the distant horizon, and very few people spoke. Yun Meng Xin, Mu Bing Yao, Li Xiao Xue, Yun Feng, Winter of That Year, Hundred Miles of Ice … 6 people, 2 of whom were non-combat professions, and 230,000 players from the Disillusion Alliance and Snow Moon Loulan, were the defenders of the new city.
Within their hearts, they continuously called out for their only hope … Ling Tian.
Tian Tian stayed by Ling Chen's side for the entire day, and Chao Ying and Chao Xi continuously checked to see if Ling Chen had come out of the game. Li Xiao Xue would ask every once in a while, but she would always receive the same answer … even now, Ling Chen still had not come out of the game. Just like that, their hope became more and more uncertain.
Yun Feng's communicator rang urgently. At the same time, Li Xiao Xue's communicator also rang. They picked it up at the same time and revealed the same expression.
"Finally … he's here!" Yun Feng forcefully closed the communication device and spoke in a low voice. His eyes became incredibly cold and he roared, "Disillusion Alliance, listen up! Everyone, take three hundred steps forward and get into battle formation within three minutes! Our Disillusion Alliance has always been developing in a low-profile manner, and this is our first large scale battle. The following battles might be very intense, and there will be a 90% chance of survival. However, we can lose, we can die, but we definitely can't run! Do you understand?! "
"Awooo!!"
More than a hundred thousand people roared in unison, their voices deafening. The Disillusion Alliance's members all walked forwards, their orderly footsteps causing the ground to tremble rhythmically. When they stopped, they had formed a standard defensive formation, protecting the new city and the Snow Moon Loulan women behind them. Their mission was to do their best to protect the new city, but protecting women had always been a man's nature. As men, how could they let women charge in front of them?
Everyone's faces were filled with the determination to face death. Death was something that couldn't be changed, and the new city behind them couldn't be changed either. They clearly knew that their mission today was to use their lives to fight for the new city.
There were nearly 1 billion players in Hua Xia, and almost all of them knew about the new city. There were countless people talking about it, countless people watching, and countless people coveting it. However, there were only 230,000 of them defending it. To them, this was a tragedy … as tragic as the ending. However, none of them would have thought that defending Ling Tian City in such a desperate situation would be an honour that they could boast about.
"Big brother, how many people did the Yan Huang Alliance send out?" Yun Meng Xin calmly asked. The first to move would definitely be the Yan Huang Alliance. If the Yan Huang Alliance didn't move, the other factions definitely wouldn't.
"A conservative estimate … 2 million," Li Xiao Xue replied.
"Wh … What? 2 million? " Before Yun Meng Xin could react, Yun Feng's expression changed. He estimated that the Yan Huang Alliance would at most send out 1 million players, because 1 million players was more than enough. Any more would be a waste. Who would have thought that Long Tian Yun would send out 2 million players? This number caused Yun Feng's vision to darken, and he couldn't even find a trace of hope in his heart.
Suddenly, a cloud of dust rose in the distance, and a large black shadow spread out along with the slight tremors on the ground, getting closer and closer. Everyone's hearts leapt out of their chests. Almost at the same time, they drew their weapons and held them horizontally in front of them.
"Big brother, Xiao Xue, I'll leave it to you," Yun Meng Xin calmly smiled as she took 2 steps back.
… …
A dark world.
Running in the darkness for a long time, with nothing but oneself, was incredibly torturous to one's mind. If it wasn't for Ling Chen's mental strength, he might have already gone half-mad.
Ling Chen didn't know how long he had been here, and he could only follow the Lunar Scourge as he ran step by step … within the endless darkness, he searched for the end of this world.
Finally …
A ray of light flashed in Ling Chen's eyes.
That ray of light was incredibly weak, and it was impossible for a normal person to see it with their eyes. But after being in the darkness for so long, even this tiny trace of light that couldn't be any more tiny caused a violent reaction in his eyes. To Ling Chen, this ray of light was like the light of heaven, causing his mind to become incredibly clear as his heart madly beat.
Light!! It's light!!
Madly shouting in his heart, Ling Chen's heavy footsteps suddenly sped up by many times, madly rushing towards the direction of the light. The direction that the Lunar Scourge was pointing towards was where the light was.
As he sped forwards, that ray of light became clearer and clearer, and it became brighter and brighter in Ling Chen's eyes. This caused Ling Chen to feel even more delighted … because this meant that it was real, and not just a hallucination.
After a whole day of darkness and loneliness, a ray of light was ushered in. Only by experiencing it personally would one understand what kind of ecstasy it was.
The light got closer and closer to him, from a dot of light, it became a tiny ball of light. Ling Chen could also tell that it was a ray of blue light, not the azure blue of the sky, nor the dark blue of the ocean, but a kind of dreamy light blue. The ball of light became bigger and bigger as he got closer. After a full half an hour, Ling Chen finally stood in front of this ball of blue, staring at this strange and illusory scene in front of him.
This was a light blue crystal ball, about one meter in diameter. The dreamy blue light was emitted from it. It was also the only thing that emitted light in this dark world. Under the devouring of the surrounding endless darkness, the light was still dim and weak.
There seemed to be a turbid light blue mist swimming inside the crystal ball, making it impossible to see what was stored inside. Around the crystal ball, dots of blue light like fireflies slowly floated about, some floating in front of Ling Chen's eyes. Ling Chen stretched out his hand to grab them, but when his fingertips touched the light, the light was like a punctured bubble, shattering and disappearing.
Lunar Scourge's pulling force also disappeared at this time. Obviously, Lunar Scourge was guiding him to this place.
This place … what exactly is this place?
"Qi Yue, can you hear my voice?"
"… …"
Still no response. On the way, Ling Chen called out to Qi Yue at least eighty times, but from beginning to end he did not get any response. It was as if after entering this world, Qi Yue had also completely fallen asleep.
There was no other way to go, and no other things, the only thing Ling Chen could do was walk into this crystal ball.
Standing in front of the crystal ball, countless light dots were disturbed, scattering in panic. Ling Chen's eyes moved closer, trying to see what was inside, but he could still only see the moving mist. After hesitating for a while, Ling Chen stretched out his hand and pressed it on the crystal ball.
In an instant, the Lunar Scourge suddenly released a strong silver light. The silver light quickly enveloped the crystal ball, fusing with its light blue light. The mist inside immediately began to flow as if encountering a gust of wind. At the same time, a strong suction force came from Ling Chen's hand that was touching the crystal ball. While he was unprepared, he was pulled forward. His nearly 1.8 metres tall body, just like that, disappeared into the 1 metre wide crystal ball.
"Ah … what's going on?"
The world in front of him suddenly changed. When he came back to his senses, his vision was already filled with mist … it was a completely different world.
He remembered that he was pulled towards the crystal ball by a force, and then … he arrived here.
Could this actually be the world inside the crystal ball?
But, that crystal ball was clearly so small, how could the space inside be so big? Could it be some kind of special illusion?
Looking around blankly, other than the floating blue mist, there was nothing else. Ling Chen lifted his foot, preparing to walk forward. When his line of sight unconsciously moved downwards, his body suddenly trembled. His right foot that was lifted up abruptly stopped in mid-air. His eyes widened as he stared blankly in front of him.
Different from the dark world outside, the world here was pure white with a dreamy light blue color. The sky above was pure white, and the ground below was also pure white, as if he was stepping on a flawless cloud. And in front of Ling Chen … on the pure white and flawless ground, he saw a person lying there quietly.
A … petite girl.
Looking at her body size, she should only be about eight or nine years old. She lay there on her side, like a cold kitten, her body tightly curled up. She wore a thin, pure white, one-piece outer garment. Her snow-like white hair rested on her head. Her skin was also white in colour. However, it was not an abnormal or sickly white colour. Rather, it was a white that was crystal clear, so white that it was almost dreamlike. It was a pure white colour that no one could bear to touch. Her eyes were closed and her long, white eyelashes stretched out quietly. Looking down, he saw a nose that appeared as though it had been painstakingly sculpted thousands of times …
It was a girl whose entire body was snow-white. She was too pure, seemingly blending into the white world. Due to that, Ling Chen had failed to notice her existence earlier and had nearly stepped on her.
