Chapter 547: Beauty Third Wheel (2/2)
”Long time no see, Beauty Third Wheel…” I greeted her with a smile.
Stranger of Three Lifetimes curled her lips. ”What the fuck, please don’t call me that. Call me Momo.”
”Sure. Long time no see!”
”Mn!” Stranger of Three Lifetimes smiled before looking at He Yi. ”Ohh, From Water is growing prettier and prettier everyday. I feel pressured just standing next to you…”
He Yi giggled. ”What are you talking about? You are quite young and beautiful yourself, Momo. You must have a lot of admirers, right?”
”Of course not, not unless you count those people who have no future to speak of…”
”Ai…” I sighed. ”The one I love is already taken; the one who loves me is beyond recognition.”
Stranger of Three Lifetimes burst into a giggle. ”Oh you, you can be so funny sometimes. Oh right, you have three dragon scales, right? Care to share one with me?”
”You may as well kill me right now…”
”...”
……
He Yi smiled. ”Momo, why isn’t Blazing Hot Lips looking for the boss?”
”Because there’s no point, duh…” Stranger of Three Lifetimes replied in a helpless tone, ”The wolves are everywhere, but there is only one sheep. How many guilds do you think are searching for the boss of this floor? Purple Lily, Candle Dragon, Snowy Cathaya, The Monarch Descends, Warsky Alliance, and Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls are all here. Every last one of you is more powerful than the last. Where would Blazing Hot Lips find the strength to compete against all of you?”
She added, ”Even if we found the boss first, one message is all it takes to summon all the guilds like bees to honey. We would lose hundreds if we fight for the dragon scale, and as the guild leader I have a responsibility to all my guild members…”
”Mn, you really are a good guild leader, Momo…”
It was at this moment a Blazing Hot Lips player moved closer to Stranger of Three Lifetimes and whispered something into her ears. The girl instantly turned serious and lowered her voice, ”From Water, Lu Chen, the boss just appeared about 20 minutes away to the southeast from here. Candlelight Shadow has already surrounded it with more than 1500 players and declared ownership over it.”
He Yi exclaimed in surprise, ”Really? There are over 1500 Candle Dragon players on the B8 floor? But… how is this possible?”
Stranger of Three Lifetimes smiled. ”It’s Candle Dragon, the most influential guild in all the servers of China, you know, not to mention that Candlelight Shadow is the representative of China’s virtual reality scene. You’d best not underestimate them because even these 1500 players may not represent all of their power. Speaking of which, how on earth did you guys get three dragon scales, and Candlelight Shadow only one anyway? Do you even know how unbelievable that is?”
I said, ”Since Candle Dragon has already surrounded the boss, let’s go take a look. We can’t miss this opportunity!”
”Okay, let’s go!”
……
We marched toward Candle Dragon and the boss in a straight line. Ancient Sword Dreaming Souls had managed to assemble five intact hundred-man parties, and Blazing Hot Lips, four hundred-man parties. We should be able to at least intimidate Candle Dragon a little with 900 players.
We passed through a canyon and entered a wide plain. Even from the distance, we could hear the loud roars of a giant dragon. A huge, cyan figure was soaring in the sky, and it was none other than the last boss of the B8 floor, the Great Earth Wind Dragon!
However, we were stopped by a large group of players before we could get close. They were all high-level players, and I counted almost a thousand of them. They were led by Purple Dawn, the guild leader of the first subguild of Candle Dragon, and a player Candlelight Shadow valued a lot.
Purple Dawn was raising his bow and shouting, ”Stop where you are! Candle Dragon is fighting the boss right now! Do not come close, or you will be violently dealt with!”
A group of archers raised their bows, let loose a volley and covered the ground right in front of us in arrows!
”Gulp!”
Xu Yang gulped visibly. ”Damn, there are so many of them. I can’t believe that a single subguild of Candle Dragon can form as many as 8 battle lines…”
Stranger of Three Lifetimes smiled. ”But of course. Ancient Sword might’ve killed a lot of bosses, but Candle Dragon hasn’t killed a single one yet. Even the only dragon scale they have was snatched from the hands of Wind Fantasy. The reason they managed to gather this many people is because their high-level players traded all the teleportation scrolls they found to their guild members. Lu Chen, you grinded for a long time at the B5 floor, didn’t you? Where are your teleportation scrolls?”
I answered expressionlessly, ”I threw them all. Gotta make space for equipment, you know…”
Stranger of Three Lifetimes rolled her eyes at me. ”So despicable.”
……
It was at this moment Li Chengfeng spoke up. ”So, guys? Are we fighting them or not? Guild leader?”
Clang!
