Chapter 28: The Undying Abyss of Water
After the allocation was complete, there was a moment of silence between them.
The scenes on both sides flew by quickly, and many monsters entered a state of hostility. They fell behind due to their movement speed and disappeared from view.
Big trees, giant rocks, magical creatures.
Suddenly, it felt nice to just quietly watch the night scenery of the game.
…
Time flowed on its own, unknowingly pointing to 11.
Is it already so late?
“Fenghua, do we need to complete tasks?” Na Chen asked. Tong Chen said it was a daily routine, but Fenghuayue was a girl. Staying up late could lead to wrinkles and hair loss.
“No need. An SS-level task definitely can’t be completed in a short time. Today, we just need to infiltrate the city. And…” She raised the corner of her mouth, pointing at the distant blurry dot. “Look, we’re almost there, thanks to your Mo Se.”
The beetle heard the praise and slightly raised its antennae in joy.
“Indeed… Though I can’t see it very clearly, I can vaguely make out that there’s a city not far ahead from the outline.
If the map is correct, then it must be Moonshadow City without a doubt.
Finally, we’ve arrived. I was almost falling asleep. Lan Chen stretched to wake himself up.
Let’s keep walking for now. If we get too close and draw attention, it will be hard to explain, Fenghuayue said.
Indeed. Lan nodded, patting Mo Lian’s back to make it stop.
The three of them jumped down.
Let’s go back.
The beetle hesitated for a moment, then lifted its head and left.
This is where the main event begins, so be careful.
After walking for 20 minutes, they hadn’t moved much further from the city.
Now it was too late for regrets because the number of people here kept increasing.
To be precise, it was the undead and magical creatures that were increasing in number.
Of course, there were also humanoid magical creatures like them, and they made up a considerable portion. Thanks to this, they wouldn’t attract much attention.
However, the team made up of Wind Wolf, Red Rabbit, and Brown Bear was already thinning out.
Where there are many people, there will be conflict.
“Don’t hit me… I was wrong… please… don’t…” In a place no more than 30 meters ahead, a weak girl was crying helplessly, her red and white long ears perked up. She was being teased by a rat-headed man who was tugging at her ears and occasionally kicking her.
Fenghua raised an eyebrow. “Should we go take a look?”
“Mm.” Lan Chen nodded. If he wasn’t mistaken, this girl should be the Rabbit Spirit, and perhaps she could provide some information.
…
“What? Now you know to beg for mercy? How did your sister treat me when she was around?” the rat-headed man shouted, pulling the girl up by her ears.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I know I was wrong!”
“Hmph, anyway, she won’t be out for a while, so no matter what I do, no one will know…”
“Mommy…” The girl couldn’t help but cry out, appearing pitiful.
At this moment, Lan Chen also approached them.
Check information!
The rat-headed man mumbled:
Rarity: Silver Grade
Level: 37
Health: 7500
Physical Attack Power: 249-322
Physical Defense: 99
Magical Defense: 80
Skills: Slip Away, Taunt
Description: This rat-headed man, hidden in the valley, somehow appeared near Moonshadow City.
Meanwhile, the girl was blocked from view by the rat-headed man and couldn’t see the information.
Rats are quite sensitive to their surroundings, and he instantly turned his head.
I must say, that pointed head looks rather frightening.
“Wind Wolf? This has nothing to do with you, don’t ask for trouble,” the rat-headed man muttered.
“Hey, you misunderstood, brother. I just want to ask something.”
“Taunt? Wind Wolf actually calls himself brother? Is he the problem or is it his problem?”
Could it be… that my strength has reached a point where even the arrogant Wind Wolf must bow down?
Perhaps… the future of the rat-headed man would change at this moment!
While thinking this, a powerful and overwhelming aura came from behind Wind Wolf.
Peeping out.
It was a female brown bear! The terrifying aura nearly suffocated him.
“Yes, I have something to ask you.”
The rat-headed man was frightened, his hands and feet turned ice cold as his fantasies shattered. He dropped the girl, who fell to the ground.
“Mm…” The tearful little rabbit stopped crying because before her stood a beautiful sister who was also a Red Rabbit!
“Sister, who are you…?” A face she had never seen…
Without showing mercy to the rat-headed man’s cowardly attributes, Fenghuayue approached and scared him into unconsciousness.
“…Am I really that scary?” Fenghuayue felt a bit speechless.
Lan Chen looked at her and nodded. “You do have the feeling of a tigress.”
“Get lost!”
On the other side.
“I’m… the Red Rabbit who stands against injustice. Just call me Starry. Can you tell me what happened?”
Seeming to feel the kindness of someone from her own kind, the girl felt reassured as she rubbed her rabbit ears and explained the events.
It turned out that Moonshadow City was about to host an unprecedented arena tournament. Anyone who achieved the title of champion could gain the favor of the Undying Abyss—Yularia.
Although it was still inferior to the Twelve Kings’ weight, Yularia’s strength far surpassed those miscellaneous lords.
In other words, as long as one wins the arena match, the victor might gain a portion of that great power, and not only that, their status would rise accordingly, as would their kin’s.
Moreover, there were a lot of warmongers from the Dark Faction, and once this news spread, it attracted hundreds of thousands.
Of course, there couldn’t be that many participants; most were just accompanying or there to watch.
Participation wasn’t without its conditions; those too old weren’t allowed to compete, and anyone wanting to participate needed a guarantor to prevent disturbances.
The large flow of people clearly exceeded the organizer’s expectations, so with one command, unauthorized personnel were barred from entering Moonshadow City.
The girl came with her sister.
Although her combat power wasn’t much, only having the strength of a level 30 silver, it was said that her sister was very strong.
Unfortunately, she couldn’t follow her sister inside, and then, without realizing it, she was caught by the rat-headed man, leading to the current situation.
“Sounds troublesome… unauthorized personnel can’t enter the city,” Lan frowned.
Fenghuayue put away the recording scroll. “Then… should we pretend to be participants and sneak in?”
“Little sister…”
“Just call me by my face.”
“Your face… how did your sister get in? Didn’t she say she needed a guarantor?” Starry said curiously.
The girl proudly replied, “My sister qualifies to be a guarantor herself.”
“?”
…
Unable to endure the little rabbit’s persistent nagging, they had no choice but to walk towards Moonshadow City together.
“Sister Starry, those two are scary…” Lulu pointed at Lan Chen and Fenghuayue.
“I…” Fenghuayue felt inexplicably wronged. Why did she end up with the brown bear?
Lan Chen didn’t mind, as Starry was also under his control.
“They’re fine; they are all my friends and won’t hurt you.”
Lulu was trying to say something when suddenly she started trembling, her body curling into a ball.
What’s going on?
Starry looked up and saw several tall and strong men approaching.
They still retained some bear-like characteristics and looked barely human.
“Fenghua, your guarantors have arrived!” Lan Chen exclaimed excitedly.
“…Can I throw away the crystal?”
