Chapter 191 Poaching (2/2)

“Stay alive. You can only dish out damage when you’re alive.”

“To stay alive?”

“Am I wrong? Even if you’re the player with the highest level, the best equipment and the best mechanical skill, can you still deal damage when you’re dead?” said Ye Ci with a smile as she looked right at the red Dragon that was moving closer and closer to her.

Purity Essence was lost for words after listening to Ye Ci. Her understanding of the DPS class was fundamentally different from his own. A word appeared in his mind, “Expert.”

The red Dragon had approached closer to Ye Ci’s postion. It lowered her head and stared at Ye Ci who was standing at the city gate. The Elf made no attempt to hide itself, and had even looked up with a smile on its face. The Dragon was enraged by the confidence brimming within the Elf’s eyes. The Dragonia was a majestic race, how could a mere Elf lay its eyes upon the majesty of such a creature?

The Dragon opened its mouth and spewed Dragon Breath at Ye Ci. It was not the reddish Dragon Breath earlier on, but was purple in color, which was even more powerful. The only thing the red Dragon had in mind was to burn that damned Elf into ash.

Ye Ci, however, looked at the Dragon calmly.

Before the Dragon Breath could even harm Ye Ci, a blue simmer appeared, deflecting the flames.

The Dragon was enraged, but knowing that it could not breach the city’s protective shield alone, the Dragon could only glare at Ye Ci before it soared into the sky and disappeared.

Ye Ci recognised the red Dragon.

It was Altera, the former queen of the Dragonia. Her story would be revealed in the second major patch in Fate. She was a pitiful but detestable NPC. The Altera introduced in the patch however, was larger than she was at this moment. Ye Ci had only been able to recognise her due to the strand of silvery feather between her brows. It was very rare for the Dragonia to have feathers, let alone to have them between her brows.

Judging from Altera’s posture as she flew, Ye Ci deduced that the Dragon was involved in a fierce battle moments ago and was fleeing for her life. That was the only reason Ye Ci and Dark Clay City was left alone. The Altera she knew would never give up before she destroyed the protective shield and leveled the entire Dark Clay City to the ground under normal circumstances. The wound below her left rib was very deep, and was hampering her ability to fight.

Based on Ye Ci’s knowledge about the history of Fate, Altera had just been dethroned and exiled by her subjects. Judging from her flight path, the Dragon was heading to the Middle Continent, which was still inaccessible to players. Despite her interest in the wounded Altera, Ye Ci could only give up due to the level restriction.

She could only hope for another chance encounter with the former Queen later on as she progressed in Fate.

With the departure of Altera, Ol’ Four reverted back to his usual self. He no longer showed signs of fear, and was putting up a ferocious front.

“I see that you’re a good commander. Say, do you want to join Upwards Ho!?” with Altera gone, Ye Ci shifted her attention back to Purity Essence, and stated her goal. This was the only reason she even bothered to deal with low level players.

Gongzi You is a god-tier player. Gongzi You is a cold-blooded person. Gongzi You is a selfish person. Gongzi You will never do something that was benevolent to others while causing harm to herself.

Purity Essence immediately remembered the comments about Gongzi You on the forums after listening to the Huntress’s words. A strange feeling gnawed as his heart. Was he astonished? Hmm… Maybe a little… Was he excited? There’s a little of excitement within him as well. There was however, a lingering feeling that he was unable to explain.

In the end, Purity Essence decided to ask out loud, “Why?”

“Why what?” Ye Ci was at a loss for words. When she poached for talents, she would only usually receive two answers: “Yes” or “No”. As for “why?”… It was something that she had never thought of. Ye Ci pursed her lips, “What do you think?”
