Chapter 732 – Rubble Forest (1/2)
Chapter 732 - Rubble Forest
“Hurry up!”
I slapped the back of my Flying Scythe War Horse and brought Wan Er and galloped into the distance. I raised my left hand and sent my Brilliant Flame Emperor flying forth. It spun several times in the air from the [Blade Spin], and forced the Hand of Waterloo to hang back rather than catch up after us.
……
Before us, [Hero’s Mound] only had 40+ people left. They were battered and exhausted. Even though they had killed quite a few of the Moon City players, they themselves had suffered losses that exceeded half of their forces. Their morale couldn’t be very high after that episode.
“Continue south!” I shouted from a distance.
Li Mu, Wang Jian, Old K and the others charged forth on their Steel Blade Horses. Q-Sword, Sword Tears, and Jian Tan didn’t seem to have any objections either and followed behind. Clouds of dust furled behind us. It was the players from [Dawn]. Once they catch up to us, we’ll all definitely die. However in the distance, I could already see a forest at the end to the Breeze Plains.
We maintained our charge for another five minutes, and finally reached the forest that I had seen. However, it was only until we had gotten close that I realized it wasn’t any forest, but rather a stone forest. This map was called “Rubble Forest”. It was a landform with high stone pillars that had thick green vines climbing along the sides. Each one was like an enormous tree. That was why it had looked like a forest from afar. The terrain was very similar to the Stone Forest in Yunnan, but it was much more precipitous and daunting. After our dozens of riders entered this forest, we could only feel the pillars grow more stern and bony. It was as though we were surrounded by hidden enemies.
Li Mu turned around and looked into the distance with a smile, “The French players aren’t following after us. Looks like even they know that they won’t necessarily have the advantage by fighting with us in this Rubble Forest.”
Wang Jian replied, “I was actually hoping they’d have the guts to chase after us. I did not feel satisfied after that battle. That Hand of Waterloo had killed over five of the core players of [Zhan Long].”
Q-Sword’s expression was not very happy. However, he still walked forward and said, “We had a total of 120 cavalrymen and 200 others. We were originally planning on scouting out the topography and the different monsters that are here in Moon City but we had never expected to be targeted by a super guild like [Dawn]. By the time we wanted to retreat, it was all too late. Hand of Waterloo is truly a fearsome player. Not only was he strong on his own, he’s also very good at commanding troops.
As he finished talking, Q-Sword looked to us and sincerely said, “Thank you, friends of [Zhan Long], for lending a helping hand. If you had not acted, then we would’ve been doomed. Thank you all!”
I sheathed my Dragon Reservoir sword and said, “There’s no need to be so polite. We’re all Chinese players in Moon City. There is no reason for us to stand by and watch you all be killed. That’s right, after [Hero’s Mound] entered Moon City, did you obtain any valuable information on their maps?”
Q-Sword nodded, “Moon Valley stretches a long distance and is incredibly vast. It’s also where the Moon City players that are between Level 120-150 grind. And so, if our players from Tian Ling City want to enter Moon City, than we are bound to encounter some obstacles. South West of Moon Valley is a natural lake called Mirror Lake. There are water monsters within the lake that range from Level 130-145. They are all Titan Tier monsters. One of the monsters is called a Turtle Dragon. It had enough power to flip a boat. You must be careful when you are down there. After you enter Mirror Lake, you must avoid boarding a boat.”
I took a deep breath and said, “Ok, understood. What are your plans after this?”
I shook my head, “No, at most we’ve walked half of it and only managed to get a fleeting glance at the map. We didn’t dare stop. Otherwise, if we were spotted, I’m afraid we would’ve never been able to leave.”
Q-Sword smiled, “Then this is farewell?”
I replied, “Yes!”
Not far away, we could hear Tang Qi’s voice echo, “Miss Yue Er!”
Dong Cheng looked over and pursed her lip, “Well, you’ve even managed to get yourself a beautiful horsewoman. Tang Qi, you’ve got great luck with women, how about you just enjoy it~~”
Tang Qi was a Feng Shui Master, and wasn’t able to ride horses. All he could do was sit with someone else in order to keep up with the group. And, the person that was transporting Tang Qi was one of the [Hero’s Mound] main guild’s team leaders. Calling her a beauty wasn’t overstating it. She was around a 7. But, it did look like the knight was pretty nice to Tang Qi. She didn’t even say anything when he held on to her waist.
When Dong Cheng said that, Tang Qi immediately added, “Little Miss, it’s a misunderstanding. Let me explain it to you….”
Dong Cheng was starting to panic too as she raised her staff and shouted, “Hey, don’t you misunderstand anything either. I am not jealous. Really. I am, from the bottom of my heart, really wishing you happiness…. I already have someone I like. Besides, I don’t like fall back guys….”
Tang Qi was speechless. Q-Sword wryly smiled, “Alright already. Let’s go. What’s [Zhan Long]’s next plan?”
