Chapter 613 – No Retreat (1/2)

Chapter 613 No Retreat

“Shua!”

I appeared in Ba Huang City. After repairing all of my equipment and organizing my potions, I went to the guild chat. Li Mu happened to be talking, “What’s up with this? They won’t even let us enter the Nightmare Plains? I got all prepared and brought 5000 people to the border, only to be told that we can’t enter. This is just too f*cked up!”

I asked, “What’s the situation?”

Li Mu replied, “[Vanguard] and [Prague] are both the main characters of the event. They’ve killed just about the same number of monsters. [Enemies at the Gate] is slightly falling behind, [Flying Dragon] and [Hero’s Mound: Division One] aren’t worth the time. Do you want to go? Any of the players from the main [Zhan Long] guild aren’t allowed within a 2000 yard radius of the new city.”

I smiled bitterly, “Then why go? Kill the [Vanguard] players that are outside? They won’t suffer a limit from reentering the border would they? Looks like this city battle has nothing to do with [Zhan Long]….”

“Yup. Then should we just tell everyone to scatter and grind levels?”

“Alright!”

……

Right at that moment, there was a sudden “Di”. I received a message. It came from Xi Yao Ge Jin, “Brother, come over, let’s grind levels together! I’m in the southernmost forests of the Nightmare Plains. There’s a lot of level 110 Thunder Tier monsters here. There’s even a lot of precious herbs. I just saw someone find the Demon God Grass….”

“Yup, alright. Wait for me!”

I invited Li Meng Yao into the team, creating a brother sister duo team. I leapt onto my horse and galloped out of the city. Unfortunately, I had to take a roundabout route, otherwise I wouldn’t reach the city.

In less than 20 minutes, I reached the outskirts of the Nightmare Plains. In the distance, a blue ray of light rushed into the sky, creating an enormous 2000 yard radius shield. Everything within it was the domain for the city battle. As a member of [Zhan Long] which already has a city, I couldn’t enter. All I could do was go around it.

I could hear the sounds of fighting come from the distance. The [Flying Dragon] players were being killed by [Prague]’s members. The battlefield was plunged in chaos. A dull red city appeared at the center of the plains. There were players and NPCs killing each other. Who knows what kind of a BOSS was guarding this wild city. And who knows who will be the final victor. In the end, it’s going to be between [Vanguard], [Prague], and [Enemies at the Gate]. [Zhan Long] has no way of joining, and [Enemies at the Gate] will have one less ally.

My Flying Scythe War Horse galloped across the plains. Within 5 minutes of circling the border, we reached a forest. I saw an orange dot slowly moving around in the distance. When I got closer, Li Meng Yao came out from the bushes. She carried her halberd and smiled, “Brother, you’re so slow….”

I was a little speechless. I softly petted the mane of my Flying Scythe War Horse and said, “This horse is the fastest in Ba Huang City… there isn’t a second as fast, so don’t you go grumbling about how fast I am. Let’s go. Take me somewhere where there’s more monsters. I’ll take you leveling!”

“Ok!”

Meng Yao turned around and lead me into the depths of the forest. After walking a few minutes, we could hear the howls of wolves. In the next moment, an enormous group of Rabid Wolves appeared from the forest. They were all Level 110 Thunder Tier monsters. They were the best fit for helping Meng Yao gain experience. We would have to go to the north and kill Hybrid Demons to find any higher level monsters. The problem was, even the Level 1 Hybrid Demons were enough to instantly kill Li Meng Yao. That was just too dangerous, and wasn’t worth it.

Against this massive wolf pack, Meng Yao smiled, “Brother, I’ll lure 3-5 of them over, would that be safer?”

I glanced at the Hidden Dragon Armor and smiled, “No need. Just watch on the side. I’ll take charge. These level 110 Thunder Tier monsters shouldn’t have enough attack to break my defense.”

“Huh? Brother, you’re just talking big!”

“Watch…”

I flicked the reign and the Flying Scythe Horse charged out. Around 200+ of the Rabid Wolves began dashing towards me. I activated [Wall of Dou Qi] and [Frost Armor] at the same time. The flame colored Dou Qi wrapped around my horse and I, creating a defensive stance. I then threw out my Zhen Yue Sword. [Blade Spin] slashed through the crowds. I raised both of my swords and charged forward, activating [Tempest Sword] into the crowd. In that instant, I killed a whole group of the wolves. That was enough to make Meng Yao’s experience fly up.

“Awoo…”

The Rabid Wolves weren’t going to sit around and wait. One after another, they slashed at my [Wall of Dou Qi] and [Frost Armor], but they only dealt around 300+ damage. With a wave of my sword, I could easily [Drain] the health back. Besides, I had [Cleansing Rain] and [Heal] still, and my recovery speed was incredibly fast. Killing me wasn’t going to be an easy feat for them.

I easily cleaned out the pack of Rabid Wolves. 200+ bodies piled the area around us. A large amount of equipment was dropped as well. There were piles of gold and Silver equipment scattered around. My sister collected everything she wanted. Anything we didn’t need, we left on the field. I changed a few of the equipments into God Army cards. Those Mohist Skills were so expensive to maintain. Getting my own low level equipments and breaking them down was a way to save money.

“So how is it? Am I just bluffing?” I raised my Dragon Reservoir Sword over my shoulder and grinned at Meng Yao.

She smiled sweetly and said, “Yup. Brother is the strongest. Keep going. It’s hard to bring such a strong brother out leveling…”

I was speechless.

I brought my only sister around and continued roaming the area. Close to two hours later, I cleared out all of the Rabid Wolves. Meng Yao also leveled up to 90. She was getting closer and closer to level 100. As expected, leveling up with a strong player and killing high tier monsters made it so much faster.

……

Without noticing, I had already killed my way to the border of the Nightmare Plains. Even if I used all of my strength, I wouldn’t be able to break through that layer. On top of that, I would actually lose health. And so, I decided to not even try. I took Meng Yao back into the forest to kill more wolves.

After ten or so minutes, when I brought my sister back into the forest to see if the monsters had respawned, a group of people suddenly burst out of the enclosed area for the city battle. There was a total of 20 something people. They all wore the [Blood Contract] insignias on their shoulders. I even recognized one of them. It was [Blood Contract]’s number one healer—— Who’s Blue.

“Hurry up….”

Who’s Blue raised her staff and looked back, “When we get out of the area, even if they kill all of us, we’ll still be able to revive. Hmph, those [Flying Dragon] people are just too low!”

One of the archers gripped their long bow and said, “Vice guildmaster, Sheltering Guest was even killed by them…. What do we do? That Fierce Tiger’s attack power is so strong. Motherf*cker, with just one [Battle Axe Burst], he could cut down 13K of Sheltering Guest’s health. That’s just too savage….”

Who’s Blue grit his teeth, “Fierce Tiger’s using a Superior Saint Tier equipment. He had just bought the level 100 weapon from Fan Shu City. Of course the rest of his equipment is also really good. Let’s not talk about this now. We need to find a way out of this situation. Afterwards, we’ll re enter the area and meet up with the guildmaster. Who knows what his situation is. Either way, it can’t be too good…”
