Chapter 90

Without mentioning how the song of chasing the dragon completely ruined Yang Ye's image as a master, just the way he shouted like he was in a street market made Yang Ye extremely unwilling to go out and meet him—it was embarrassing!

Pretend not to know him...

Yang Ye pretended not to hear and hid among the crowd, chatting with Peach intermittently, ignoring the song of chasing the dragon.

"Promise, where are you, Promise? I know you're here, come out quickly!" the song of chasing the dragon continued to shout.

Yang Ye didn't want to go out, but others hoped he would. After all, what did he and the song of chasing the dragon have to talk about? Everyone was very curious!

Despite the ID "Promise" being far inferior to "Song of Chasing the Dragon," many people in Yuluo City knew about it. The few shouts from the song of chasing the dragon immediately drew the attention of the players around Yang Ye, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

With no choice, he could only step out of the crowd that had already formed a circle, walk up to Hongye Heiyue and the song of chasing the dragon, and awkwardly greet them: "Hey!"

The song of chasing the dragon looked at Yang Ye with a mysterious smile, his eyes conveying a message that no one could understand. He remained silent for a long time.

This made people even more interested. Whether it was the players from Yuluo City or Dongzhi Fudao, they all looked at Yang Ye with amusement and started to gossip—

"What's going on? What's going on?! What's happening?!"

"Damn, it's full of bromance! Don't do this, I can't handle it alone..."

"Ah, the song of chasing the dragon and Promise are a couple!!" This was from the fangirls, who wished all the handsome guys in the world were in a bromance.

The surrounding gossip made Yang Ye speechless, but the song of chasing the dragon didn't seem to care. If he continued to act shy, it would only lead to more rumors!

Thinking about his future, Yang Ye decisively straightened his chest and looked straight ahead, his aura almost matching that of the song of chasing the dragon and Hongye Heiyue. He then said with a smile: "Chasing Dragon, even if we haven't met, we can still be considered friends. How can you call me like this? What if people mistake me for a gay guy, what should I do?"

Yang Ye's sudden change made the song of chasing the dragon pause for a moment, then he laughed and waved his hand: "What others say doesn't matter to me. We can be considered half-friends. If I don't call you out this time, I might not see you again."

"That's true, but Chasing Dragon, at least try to be a bit more serious. You've completely ruined the image of strength I had of you..." Yang Ye complained.

"Haha, it will all be fine. Even Ethereal Snow used to say this to me, hahaha..." The song of chasing the dragon laughed loudly, showing no embarrassment. After greeting, he changed the subject: "Promise, will you start a guild?"

This question made Yang Ye pause. He hadn't even started a studio yet, let alone a guild.

"Not sure, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand up against you guys..." Yang Ye said slowly.

The song of chasing the dragon smiled and didn't speak, then turned and walked back to the Dongzhi Fudao camp. His aura suddenly changed, making him look like a drawn sword, shining with a dazzling light. A sharp and intimidating aura enveloped him, like a sword at the throat. He scanned the players from Yuluo City, as if telling everyone— "I'm here! I, the song of chasing the dragon, am here!" Then he shouted loudly: "Let's reminisce outside, but now, let's start this game!" He raised his hands, and a glowing staff appeared in his right hand. His aura rose again, sharp and—

"No tricks, no tactics, come, let's have a straightforward slaughter!"

His aura quickly infected all the players from Dongzhi Fudao. Their faces flushed, and they gripped their weapons, the light of skills flashing.

The players from Dongzhi Fudao had already made their move, and Hongye Heiyue couldn't let the players from Yuluo City lose momentum. Before the battle, maintaining good morale was very important, whether it was the song of chasing the dragon or not!

"Brothers, the guys from Dongzhi Fudao have already picked up their weapons, they want to kill us, will we kill them?!"

"Kill!!!"

"Great, let the guys from Dongzhi Fudao see the strength of the players from Yuluo City!"

Then, Hongye Heiyue issued orders in the legion channel: "This map is not good for archers, mages have an advantage. Everyone, protect the mages, don't let their skills break, cover this area! Warriors, especially Berserkers..."

Yang Ye retreated to the Yuluo City camp, looking at the song of chasing the dragon in the distance. He didn't understand why the song of chasing the dragon asked if he would start a guild. Was it to guard against him, Promise? That would be overestimating him, a solo player. Given Yang Ye's current situation, it was a pipe dream to think he could compete with the Chasing Dragon guild.

After a while, Yang Ye smiled. Regardless of the song of chasing the dragon's intentions, he, Yang Ye, would not be a coward, whether as a friend or an enemy.

He drew his sword, held it in front of his eyes, and aimed the blade at the song of chasing the dragon's neck, the dark aura of Xuan Yang Zhi Xie swirling—

"Song of Chasing the Dragon, I, Promise, am here!"

...

"Buzz!!"

"Buzz!!"

No one knew who shot the first arrow, but it served as a signal. The second, third, and countless more arrows flew through the air, their tips gleaming, heading towards the enemy in a black cloud.

"Thud!!"

...

The sound of arrows hitting targets was continuous. If this were a real battlefield, without protective measures, such a volley of arrows would force both sides to retreat. But this was a game, and it was just a few hundred or thousand points of health—

"Charge!!!"

"Charge!!!"

...

As soon as the distance was right, the warriors engaged first. With the charge skill activated, their swords swung towards the enemy's chests and heads, "Swoosh!" Dark red blood splattered onto the ground—

As Hongye Heiyue said, the map was in a forest, where trees obstructed the view and blocked arrows, making archers less effective. Mages, especially those with area-of-effect (AOE) spells, could cover the ground, making the already small area even more cramped, leading to a fierce battle.

There was no place to run, so why run?

As soon as the battle started, Yang Ye was eager to find the song of chasing the dragon, but the guy seemed to have disappeared. With no choice, he attacked the nearest enemy.

He shook off an approaching Dongzhi Fudao warrior and turned to Siyu, saying, "Siyu, let me see your class!"

Siyu gave him a glare and said, "Heal me."

"Sure thing!" Yang Ye replied happily and charged towards the incoming Dongzhi Fudao players...

A minute later, Yang Ye returned with 20% health.

Siyu didn't say much, picked up a transparent staff, and lightly swung it. White light flowed from the staff, instantly enveloping half of Yang Ye's body—

[System: Siyu has cast the skill "Hymn of the Holy Spirit - Life" on you!]

Warmth spread through his body, and Yang Ye saw his health increase: 24%... 31%... 44%... 57%...

Until it reached 65%, it stopped.

"Damn, this is powerful! Siyu, what conditions are needed for this skill?" Yang Ye exclaimed. This one skill was as effective as all the healing skills of a level 1 Holy Priest combined.

"Gold, of course. Do you believe me if I charge you for each use?" Siyu laughed.

"Damn, like gas, no more!" Yang Ye quickly changed his tune after getting the benefit.

"Fine, I had a more powerful skill, let me see what it's called... Hymn of the Holy Spirit - Eternal Life, resurrection." Siyu frowned and then looked at Yang Ye with a smile.

"Damn, resurrection? What are you waiting for, remember to resurrect me!"

"Me too, me too, give it to me. I'll charge in and my dear sister will give me a resurrection, I'll go on a killing spree!" Peach, hearing about the powerful skill, chimed in.

...

As they chatted, the two armies had fully engaged. Arrows and skills flew everywhere, and white light from deaths flashed frequently. Both sides suffered heavy casualties. In terms of equipment, Dongzhi Fudao didn't have an advantage, but they weren't at a disadvantage either.

What puzzled Yang Ye was that he hadn't seen the song of chasing the dragon since he was swallowed by the crowd from Dongzhi Fudao. Normally, wherever the song of chasing the dragon appeared, it was the most crowded place, with one side trying to kill him and the other side trying to protect him.

Hongye Heiyue also noticed the song of chasing the dragon's disappearance. Although he was always paying attention to him, the players from Dongzhi Fudao charged forward, and the song of chasing the dragon stayed in place, making it hard for Hongye Heiyue to keep track of him in the dim light.

However, Hongye Heiyue wasn't worried. The song of chasing the dragon might do things that go against his word, but it depends on the situation. In this game, which is more for entertainment, it wasn't enough to make him break his word, meaning he wouldn't use underhanded tactics after agreeing to a fair fight.

So, the absence of the song of chasing the dragon made Hongye Heiyue even happier. For the players from Yuluo City, the influence of the song of chasing the dragon was significant.

Where was the song of chasing the dragon?

At the back.

What was he doing?

Watching the show.

Yes, the song of chasing the dragon was watching the show from the back. He had no intention of joining the fight, just watching the two sides battle it out with a smile.

After a while, he stood up, looked at the time, and said softly, "It's time to eat..."

Then, he walked towards the "front line."
