Chapter 74

The players of Ancient Tree City were furious, but anyone would be angry in such a situation. It was like someone coming to your house and slapping you; not being angry would be a lie.

Yang Ye and Mo Li knew they had angered the players of Ancient Tree City, but this was a game, and such things often happened. They had made a mistake, and it was wrong, but they couldn't just sit and wait to die. At the moment, running away was the best option.

"Promise, where are we running to?" Mo Li asked as he sprinted forward at high speed.

"Rainfall City, where else!" Yang Ye shouted, waving his Will, and the Emperor's Slash·Flash skill shot out, propelling him forward the farthest distance possible, leaving Mo Li, who had been right beside him, far behind.

"Damn, you little brat, wait for me!" Mo Li cried out, cursing Yang Ye for not being loyal.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, surged forward with varying speeds. Yang Ye acted as the vanguard, Mo Li covered the rear, and Liliana, with her high speed, supported both sides. For a moment, the many players of Ancient Tree City dared not confront them directly, only daring to release skills around them, trying to stop the two players and one NPC.

But this was of no use. As the two were about to break through, the players of Ancient Tree City became even angrier and started shouting—

"Damn, why don't the Gale Assassins use their Conceal and block them? Damn..."

"Damn, are you a bandage, front ninja? Just put a clone in front and run past, why switch positions and come back? Do you know how to play?"

"Damn, front Burial Feather, lay some traps! When else are you going to do it?"

"Where are the Word Mages? Where are the debuffs? We can't find you when we need you, but you're always shouting to bring us to dungeons when we don't need you!"

...

The players shouted and called out, throwing a barrage of skills: the Heavy Bow's Piercing Arrow, Burial Feather's various traps, the Ice Mage's Ice Storm, Lotus of Shadows, and Frost Arrow, the Earth Mage's Rock Pulse and Stone Bullet... All were level 30 skills with control effects, but they weren't 100% effective, and they caused significant interference to Yang Ye and Mo Li, nearly killing them several times. Fortunately, the Life Bud potion supported them.

"Pin Down!"

Suddenly, three weapons flew at high speed from a distance. This was the level 30 skill of the Gale Assassin—Pin Down.

Pin Down (Level 30): You remind me of Jesus. The Gale Assassin throws three weapons, pinning the target in space, causing damage and restraining for 2 seconds. This skill cannot be dodged.

This skill was the most troublesome for Yang Ye and Mo Li, as once it was released, it couldn't be avoided. Yang Ye had been constantly watching out for the Gale Assassins, fearing their Pin Down skill. Usually, he would use the Miner's Hat to find the Gale Assassin and rush over to kill them, then escape with Liliana's help.

In the chaos, Yang Ye missed a Gale Assassin, who released the Pin Down skill. The target of the flying Pin Down skill was—Liliana!

"Clack, clack, clack!" The three daggers pinned Liliana, who was flying low as a cover, to space. Liliana cried out and struggled desperately but couldn't break free.

"Damn, Mo Li, go back and save Liliana!" Yang Ye was anxious. He could die himself, but Liliana absolutely could not die, not even once.

"Damn, go back to hell, are you going to send yourself? Let your follower drag them, we need to run, they're surrounding us more and more!" Mo Li shouted angrily. Although he knew Liliana was very important to the Promise Battle, she was just an NPC. It was better for her to die than for them to lose levels and equipment. Besides, she could be resurrected, so Mo Li was very annoyed by Yang Ye's irrational behavior.

"No, Liliana can't die. You go ahead, I'll go back and save her!" Yang Ye was stubborn. After saying this, he turned and rushed toward Liliana.

The players of Ancient Tree City were determined to stop the two, but their skills either had a chance to trigger or were dodged, making it difficult to control them. They were so angry they almost spat blood, especially the Gale Assassin players who had a 100% Pin Down skill but couldn't use it.

For some reason, whenever a Gale Assassin got close to the Promise Battle, they were immediately killed. So the Gale Assassin players were frustrated. Now, one hero had successfully released the Pin Down skill, which made them very happy, and the players of Ancient Tree City were also very happy.

For a moment, many skills flew toward Liliana...

All the players who could attack Liliana unleashed their full power, pouring their accumulated skills onto her, pinned in space. They could almost imagine the massive damage the skills would deal...

As the arrows flew toward Liliana with a cold gleam, as the magic spells trailed after her, and as all the skills were about to touch her, Liliana saw the man she affectionately called "brother" stand in front of her, blocking the skills for her—

She was just an NPC.

Yes, she was just a follower, but Yang Ye wouldn't let her die, not even once. This was one of the things he wanted to protect, the cute NPC girl who had been by his side from the beginning—Liliana.

Besides, shouldn't the master be the one to stand in front?

"Liliana, be good and stay alive, brother will give you gold later." Yang Ye turned and smiled at the girl.

"Liliana... Liliana... will be good... will be good." Liliana frowned, dissatisfied with Yang Ye's words.

Such a large amount of damage, even with Yang Ye's high health, instantly killed him. The explosion from the necklace also took out some of the Ancient Tree City players with low health, and the remaining damage hit Liliana but wasn't enough to kill her.

"You... You actually killed brother! Liliana will kill you!!"

Seeing her master die to protect her, Liliana was extremely angry, so angry that it felt like a fire was burning in her chest, making her very uncomfortable. She wanted to kill.

Liliana felt so angry that she didn't notice her own transformation, but the players of Ancient Tree City could see it clearly!

The follower of the Promise Battle was transforming!! No, not really transforming, just her eyes turning red and her silver hair gradually turning black from the roots...

"Damn! Promise, you owe me!!" Mo Li, seeing Yang Ye instantly killed, shouted and ran toward Liliana. Since the Promise Battle wanted to save her, he would save her!

Liliana felt so angry that she was about to explode. Just as she couldn't hold back, she felt a gentle touch on her head and heard a gentle voice— "Liliana, what's wrong, are you angry?"

It was brother!

"Brother!" Liliana turned and saw her brother standing alive in front of her. She couldn't believe her eyes, looked again, and then happily jumped into Yang Ye's arms.

Yang Ye stroked Liliana's half-black, half-white hair, watching the black hair gradually fade away, feeling a bit sentimental: Liliana was such a silly girl.

"Damn, Promise, you didn't die?" Mo Li, who had just run to Liliana, was stunned for a moment but then relaxed.

"Yeah, the sword has a resurrection skill." Yang Ye explained. Before the battle, to ensure his survival, he had switched to the Moonlight Mad Clan's Wailing Will, which had a resurrection skill. He hadn't sold it and kept it, and the resurrection took 5 seconds, during which Liliana almost rushed out. If she had, she might not have come back.

"Damn, don't talk so much, getting out is the priority." Mo Li said nervously, glancing at the players surrounding them, who were somewhat stunned.

"Right, no more talk, let's go! Liliana, activate the thrusters, lead the charge!!" Yang Ye shouted.

"Okay, okay, Liliana..." Blue flames shot out from her feet, "Charge!!" She turned into a blue-tailed meteor and rushed forward.

...

Fortunately, there weren't many level 30 players in this "battlefield." This was a level 25 to 30 area, and the higher-level players had gone elsewhere. So although it was difficult, Yang Ye and Mo Li managed to break through.

The two, having fought their way out, didn't stop, rushing toward Rainfall City without a break. At least a few fast Gale Assassins from Ancient Tree City followed them, but they kept their distance, not daring to get too close, even with Stealth. The Promise Battle wasn't someone to be underestimated, and he could instantly detect anyone who got close, like he had some kind of cheat. This was the first solo player in the Chinese server—

Impressive!

Now they were half-safe, and Mo Li had the time to chat with Yang Ye—

"Promise, even if Liliana is that important, please don't risk your life for her, okay?" Mo Li said angrily.

"Well, I saved her, so it's fine. I'm not hurt or anything." Yang Ye said nonchalantly.

"Damn, you scared the crap out of me! Do you play games like this? She's just an NPC." Mo Li still couldn't understand.

Hearing her brother's friend call her an NPC, Liliana was very不服气 (unconvinced) and made a face at Mo Li, then turned her head away, not wanting to deal with the annoying guy.

"To me, she's a friend who has always been by my side. How could I not save a friend in danger?" Yang Ye smiled.

"Alright, I know she's beautiful, I'm losing hope in this looks-based world..." Mo Li held his forehead, feeling helpless. Meeting someone like the Promise Battle meant he would have to do some crazy things.

The two chatted and ran, gradually getting closer to Rainfall City. The Gale Assassins from Ancient Tree City had to give up the chase. They weren't many, and even if they caught up, they might not be able to kill them. The damage from Gale Assassins was too low, and the three of them had too high attack power.

However, while this conflict was settling down, another war was breaking out elsewhere—

Where?
