Pa!” The Purple Dawn Boots trampled the grass as I took advantage of my descent and wildly escaped from the pursuing Berserkers, Swordsmen and Knights and quickly entered the forest yet. After passing through them, I gazed upwards and saw Matcha’s snow white legs up ahead. In these critical moments, she still had the time to stick her tongue out and laugh: “Boss, you really look handsome when you’re fighting. No wonder many female players from Ba Huang City want to bear your child.”
I said with a deadpan face: “Just focus on PKing.”
“Well, ok.”
……
“Crackle, crackle, crackle.”
Unceasing noises of rustling leaves could be heard as over 10 players entered the forest. Thankfully, Strawberry Matcha was still airborne and could carefully observe the situation from above. In her hand was a sharp glossy blade; she seemed to be prepared to battle at a moment’s notice, though she was not really in the mood to fight. In fact, she was a little nervous and scared. Her hand gripping the sword trembled and her face was a bit tight. This scene made me want to laugh.
“Boss!”
In the team channel, Matcha said in a low voice: “There is an Assassin using [Stealth] close to you. 25 degrees North West, 7 yards away!”
I promptly took action as I raised my Frost Rain Sword and rushed to the said location. Then I suddenly slashed at empty space!
“Clang! Keng!”
The sword cut through a plant as sparks flew from colliding weapons. A Lv 46 Assassin was forced out of his [Stealth] and a look of horror appeared on his face behind his dagger.
I used my [Fierce Ice Blade] to thrust at him!
“Puchi!”
“1423!”
The Assassin whined at the pierced sword on his chest. An undisguised panic surfaced in his eyes. Gradually, he knelt down and dropped a leather wristband!
“Peng!”
I leisurely picked it up and placed it in my inventory, no need to check it. Afterwards, I went in the flying Strawberry Matcha’s direction with the Frost Rain Sword in hand.
Strawberry Matcha continued to fly with her pair of beautiful eyes closely watching the movements on the ground. All of a sudden, she whispered: “Boss, 30 degrees in front of you to the right. Just 7 yards away, there’s a dense broad-leaved tree, rush directly there and unleash your [Combo].”
“Sure!”
Without doubting her, I speedily headed towards the direction Matcha mentioned, breaking through the thickets ahead of me. “Ding!” Four golden hexagrams appeared on the edge of the sword. Two Lv 46 Archers were now in sight as one of them lifted his longbow and aimed at Matcha, preparing to let loose his [Shattered Shot]. If it hits, Matcha will surely be injured or even killed!
Fortunately, I released my [Combo] first. The first two strikes annihilated the first Archer while the next two hits already found their way to the second Archer, slaying him. Four 700+ damage numbers simultaneously arises as the 2 Archers fell to the ground, not even knowing how they died.
Not pausing, I reached down to scoop up a Silver Ring and kept running. I now trusted from the bottom of my heart Matcha’s excellent tactics in the game!
I cannot help but ask: “Matcha, who are you really? Why is it that your judgment is so accurate?”
Strawberry Matcha narrowed her pair of beautiful eyes as she flew and laughed: “I loved playing ’s simulation battle system during the vacation and my scores were very high, I’m actually one of nation’s top ten. My understanding of the game’s system is naturally high; however, upon entering the game, I realized that my body’s reaction speed cannot keep up with my thoughts. I was dumbfounded. Boss, I’ll continue practicing my body’s reaction speed so please don’t throw me away. ”
I snickered: “Don’t worry. Since you entered the studio, you’re already one of Zhan Long. It will not change in this lifetime. You are our friend. Once a friend, always a friend!”
Strawberry Matcha gawked at me, as if very affected by my words: “Boss, you’re making me cry.”
“Cry after we escape.”
“Uh.”
……
Even though the dense forest green hindered my vision, Strawberry Matcha acted as my eyes while I was her sword. In just 10 minutes, we eliminated 20 players while I managed to loot at least 8 dropped equipment, most were Bronze Tier and above.
Further north, the broad-leaved forest ended and a vast, snow covered region appeared instead. We were close to the Ice Spine where Dragon City was at and the area ahead of us was definitely full of danger. If possible, I would avoid traversing it.
“Shooo.”
The bone-piercingly cold wind stirred the snowflakes in the air as I turned back to look in the direction of the forest and saw several [Wrath of the Heroes] Swordsmen glaring at us in the distance, not daring to chase us. Apparently, they were afraid that I might end up crushing them all.
“They are waiting for reinforcements!” Matcha said while narrowing her eyes.
I sheathed the Frost Rain Sword back to into its scabbard and nodded: “This is indeed Tyrant of Western Chu’s game style, he won’t engage with less than 20 players.”
“Boss, shall we leave now?”
“Back to the city?”
“Anywhere, just say the word.”
I looked to the North and smiled: “Then let’s take a look at that snow area and figure out ways to ambush them there. Let’s kill several [Wrath of the Heroes] again!”
“Okay!”
