We continued with splitting the drops and gave everyone the cards and gems that the BOSS dropped. The number of Gravedigger Demons that came in the second wave was already getting steadily less. After they had massacred several thousands of players, they were finally being finished off. However, we all knew that this wasn’t all of the Northern Hybrid Demon’s army power. This was just Lin Han’s own army. Plus, we had only reached the second wave. Who knew how many other waves of monsters we had to face.
……
Dragon City stood strong against the fierce wind. I squinted my eyes, trying to see past the layer of snow that was falling. Wan Er stood by my side, her white cloak fluttering behind her. Her snow white arms were covered in a thin layer of snow and she softly smiled, “No matter what, even if we all die in battle, it will be well worth it. We really got a lot of experience…”
I nodded, “Yes! I just wish that us dying would be all. In the end, we still lose three levels, just too much…”
Wan Er fluttered her big eyes and smiled, “No problem, isn’t there also the sense of righteousness we get from guarding the city? No matter if we succeed or lose, points and rewards will be given. That, we do not have to worry about.”
“Mhm. The third wave is about to arrive. Let everyone quickly repair equipment and replenish potions. 5000 of [Zhan Long]’s players in the city will be enough.”
“Understood. I’ll prepare them right now!”
Wan Er stared deep into my eyes and said, “Pig Xiao Yao, as the Guild Master, guarding the front row is your responsibility. Leave the rest to us Vice Guild Masters.”
I turned around to look at the cute girl who was my right arm. On one hand she was the little miss of the Tian Jin Corporation that I was supposed to protect, on the other she was my greatest support in game. Since the first time we met, we seemed to have gone through so many events. Plus… what happened last night. I suddenly had a rush of emotions fill my heart. I raised my cloak and wrapped it around her soft shoulders and smiled, “Wan Er….”
“Hm?” She looked up at me.
I stared down at he smiling face, and was suddenly at a loss for words. After thinking for a bit, I said, “I just wanted to call your name. I didn’t really think of what to say… ahaha….”
Wan Er raised her elegant eyebrows and smiled wickedly, “You want a beating?!”
I glanced down and said, “No need to be so rough. Don’t forget, last night we already….”
“We already what?” Wan Er turned away from me, a smile playing on her lips, “I went to sleep really early last night, humph mph …”
At that moment, I decided to step down and said, “Alright alright, I was just thinking too much…”
Wan Er silently looked down at the bloody marks in the snow and softly said, “Give me a little more time. I have to finish settling my business before I can figure out how to face you…”
I warmed her frozen lips with my finger and nodded, “En, I know. I wouldn’t dare dream for too much anyway…”
“Oh?”
Wan Er looked down at her feet and mumbled, “If you don’t dream, then you’ll never get what you want. Is it that if I don’t take the first step towards getting near you, you would never get closer to me?”
I glanced at her and then looked up and let out a sigh, “No, I want to… It’s just…”
Wan Er smiled understandingly. She kicked a piled of snow and said, “Alright, don’t say you just. Just hearing that first half makes me annoyed. I’ve never liked people who are too afraid to take the first step.”
Dong Cheng walked over to us and said, “That…. you too. Don’t take the first step forward, if you take another step, you’ll fall off a cliff. Can you two please not stand so close to the edge when you’re whispering to each other? Even if you stood a back a little, nobody would hear you’re secret conversations. You two idiots, the third wave of Hybrid Monsters are here!”
……
Just as Dong Cheng had said, a “Ji ji” sound came from the north. Right afterwards, black figures appeared from the thick layer of snow and quickly marched to the foot of the wall and began to climb. When the were around 100 meters away from us, Matcha let out an “ah” and was so terrified she stepped back a few steps, her face pale, “I… I’m afraid of these the most!!”
They were rows upon rows of armored giant snakes. They slithered their lower bodies and opened their wide jaws. Their jade eyes stared right at the players and NPCS. Furthermore, these snakes had soldiers riding on their backs. They carried long halberds in one hand and reins to control the snakes in the other!
Battle Snake Cavalrymen, Level 1 Hybrid Demons.
“Careful, we don’t know what kind of special skills these Hybrid Demons have!” I raised my sword and walked over to the edge.
“Ts Ts….”
