Whoosh … crack …
With a loud bang, the powerful black storm instantly swept through the forest below the White Cloud Mountain Range. Countless towering ancient trees were uprooted and swept up in the storm. They were quickly shredded into pieces and turned into sharp wind weapons. One could imagine that if they were swept up by this storm, there would definitely be nothing left of them!
Ling Xue's face was pale. "Ah!
What is this? "
I was also shocked. "It's so beautiful under the moonlight, and it's rare for us to have a date, but … fuck, where did this fucking tornado come from? I'm going to destroy it!"
Ling Xue could not help but smile. "Go ahead, I'll support you!"
I thought for a moment and said, "For safety's sake, Ling Xue, let's log out. When we come back tomorrow, the storm should be gone …"
Ling Xue nodded. "Mn, okay!"
But the next moment, the little beauty looked at me in shock. "I can't log out …"
I tried, summoned the system elf, and chose to log out. I also received a message —
System Notice: You are within the attack range of the Eye of the Storm and cannot log out!
… …
"Eye of the Storm? What's that again?" I asked in surprise.
Ling Xue was also puzzled. She shook her head. "Do you think I'm that knowledgeable?"
At this moment, a sudden change occurred. A system bell rang in the sky above the China server —
Ding ~!
System Announcement: The Army of Darkness has launched an attack. All major cities have been attacked!
Ding ~!
System Announcement: The leader of the Army of Darkness, Frost Warsong Dahl, has led the undead army to attack Clear Breeze City for 10 hours. All players, please prepare to resist the Army of Darkness!
For the next 10 hours, all players who die will have their levels reduced by 1. If the city is lost, they will have their levels reduced by 3. Also, they will not be able to log back into the game while the Army of Darkness is attacking.
Ding ~!
System Announcement: The leader of the Army of Darkness, Wind Chaser Kallen has used the forbidden spell [Eye of the Storm] to attack White Cloud City for 10 hours. All players, please prepare to resist the Army of Darkness!
… …
My eyes widened. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. "Fuck!
Frost Warsong Dahl?
The one ranked third among the ten great bosses of Spirit of Grief?
Karon the Windchaser, ranked sixth among the top ten bosses in Spirit of Grief. So this tornado is the forbidden spell, the Eye of the Storm! Fuck! "
Ling Xue's beautiful eyes widened. "Scholar, what should we do now?
Could it be that they were waiting for death?
Also, Wind Chaser Karen is attacking White Cloud City. Are we just going to sit back and watch? "
I sucked in a deep breath and said, "The monsters are attacking the city, and I'm already in combat mode. I can't return to the city, and walking back isn't practical at all. I'm guessing that it'll be too late by then, so I can only rely on my brothers in the city!"
Ling Xue gritted her teeth and said, "Can't we … intercept the eye of the storm halfway?"
My heart skipped a beat and I laughed, "Haha, my Ling Xue is really smart!
Alright, for the sake of White Cloud City, let's risk our lives and attack Karon the Windchaser. That bastard killed Soul Demise. Hmph, I haven't had the chance to avenge him yet! "
Ling Xue smiled and said, "I wonder if the other countries have been attacked!"
"Of course!"
I brought up the forums. As expected, it was already buzzing with activity. There was a big title at the center — The Army of Darkness is invading, and the survival of all players is hanging by a thread. If we lose our cities, we will be alone. Please pick up your weapons and fight for survival!
Then, a series of data was listed below —
Undead Knight Bloodblade, one of the ten bosses of Spirit of Grief, led an army of undead knights to attack a major city in the USA!
Audin The Twilight Ranger, one of the ten bosses of Spirit of Grief, led a large group of powerful creatures to attack a major city in France!
Blackwing Devourer Bloodhowl, one of the ten bosses of Spirit of Grief, led a Fallen Dragon Race to attack a major city in Korea!
Feather Moon, one of the ten bosses of Spirit of Grief, led an army of undead to attack a major city in England!
Maga, one of the ten bosses of Spirit of Grief, led an army of cannibals to attack a major city in Germany!
… …
Almost all the bosses of Spirit of Grief had joined the battle, and the line-up was despairing!
However, the first and second of the ten bosses didn't come out. I don't know why, but the fifth-ranked boss, Dragon Bone, didn't come out either. The reason was that it had already been killed by my teacher, Ice Orchid.
In addition, these were only the large human main cities. There were other small main cities, such as India's main city, Italy's main city, Germany's main city, and so on. These didn't even need the 10 Bosses to come out, just some small characters.
Of course, these so-called small characters were definitely not low level. As for the two bosses attacking the major cities of the China server, a conservative estimate was that they were max level 255. Also, they should be Divine Rank bosses!
Beep!
Swordfire Dragon sent me a message: "Damn!
What's going on, boss? Why did I get a call from Xing Tian in the middle of the night? Are the monsters really attacking the city? "
I replied, "That's right, Dragon Soul. You have a lot of prestige, so contact Uncle Solitary Grave immediately. We need to unite all of White Cloud City's power and fight against the Army of Darkness together. We must work together this time, or we'll lose our city!"
Dragon Soul was shocked. "I … I understand!
Also, why don't you come back to command the war yourself? You're more qualified than I am! "
"I want to, but I was intercepted by the boss halfway …"
"Then, take care …"
Dragon Soul's tone was a little mournful.
It wasn't long before a system announcement resounded in the sky above White Cloud City —
Ding ~!
System Announcement (Player Solitary Grave Shout): Friends of White Cloud City, this time, two of China's main cities are under the threat of destruction. Please join hands and fight against the Army of Darkness!
Let go of all prejudices and hatred. You are a citizen of China. Everyone, return to White Cloud City and prepare for battle!
… …
Meanwhile, the guild channel of Snow Moon was in an uproar —
Swordfire Ghostflame: "Wind Chaser Karon, this guy is said to be very strong. Everyone, be careful. However, after this Boss dies, it should drop a Divine Artifact, maybe a Heavenly Divine Artifact, or a Supreme Divine Artifact, hahaha …"
Little Sword Fire Ghostflame: "Big brother Ghostflame is still asleep, so let's ignore him!
Also, Little Moon wants to join this war as well. I need a ten-man party with high DPS! "
Flying Fire: "What a tragedy!
I just hooked up with a bare-legged girl in a bar, and now he's being attacked by a monster? I … I'm already on the bow, but I'm going to be tortured by a monster. This is the biggest tragedy in life! "
Sword Fire Executioner: "What kind of f * cking tragedy is this? I and Flight Cola had already done all the foreplay, but just as we were about to get on the horse, we received a call from Paralyzing Wind of Sorrow. He heard that the ten bosses were attacking the city, and he was so scared that he collapsed …"
Flying Fire: "Fuck!"
At this time, the girls of Xue Yue Studio had come online —
Ling Yue: "Scholar!
Scholar!
What's going on?
Where are you? "
I replied, "I'm struggling right under the eyes of the boss. Ling Yue, can you teleport back to the city?"
"I can. What's going on over there? Is Snow with you?"
"Mn, Ling Xue is fine for now … You should take Fragrance and the others back to the city as soon as possible. You're in charge of the battle at White Cloud City …"
"Okay!
I'll be right back! "
I let out a sigh of relief. With Ling Yue leading the battle, our chances of winning seemed to have increased. After all, Ling Yue was the symbol of Snow Moon and White Cloud City. Her reputation had long since surpassed Dragon Soul and Uncle Solitary Grave's.
However, the problem I had to face now was how to deal with the Eye of the Storm.
Whoosh … Whoosh … Whoosh …
The entire White Cloud Mountain Range was shaking, and the violent earthquake caused all kinds of avalanches. Even the ice and snow beneath our feet were crumbling at an alarming rate!
I hugged Ling Xue tightly and retreated at top speed. Shocked, I immediately used the Sealing Stone to summon the Fire Cloud Leopard!
Swhoosh!
The Fire Cloud Leopard charged out of the magic formation majestically, and I immediately jumped on top of it. Holding Ling Xue in front of me, I ordered, "Leopard, find a safe place!"
However, the Fire Cloud Leopard didn't move at all. It looked like it was in a daze.
Damn, it really is stupid. Compared to a Divine Rank pet like Ling 'er, it's like heaven and earth!
Ling Xue looked back at me and asked with a smile, "Aren't you going to kill Karun the Windchaser?
Why are you in such a hurry to find a hiding place? "
I explained, "It's important to know one's limits. I haven't even reached the fourth promotion yet, so how am I supposed to resist the forbidden spell?
Moreover, the outer edge of the storm can tear through almost anything. I have no confidence in my Battle Soul Armor, so I need to avoid the destructive power of the outer edge of the storm! "
Ling Xue blinked. "Avoid the outer edge, then what?"
I smiled. "There's actually a very calm area at the center of a large-scale storm like this, and that is the legendary Eye of the Storm. We should be able to see Karun the Windchaser inside the Eye of the Storm. As long as we kill him or attract his aggro, we should be able to stop this super powerful spell from destroying White Cloud City!"
Ling Xue couldn't help but laugh. "Alright then. We have to survive the Eye of the Storm!"
"Mn!"
Therefore, I urged the Fire Cloud Leopard to search around the peak of the snowy mountain. My goal was to find a giant boulder that was connected to the mountain. That way, I should be able to use the boulder as a cover to resist the storm. After all, the storm couldn't destroy the entire White Cloud Mountain Range, could it?
Although Karun the Windchaser was a powerful existence, he definitely wasn't powerful enough to destroy the entire White Cloud Mountain Range, unless he was as powerful as the Dragon God!
The Dragon God, the God of Longyu, was only a legend. Not even Bing Lan had seen it with her own eyes.
After searching for almost half an hour, we still couldn't find a suitable hiding place. At this time, the guild channel was abuzz with activity —
Sword Fire Dragon: "Reporting, reporting!
There are ten waves of monsters attacking the city, and this is the first wave, the Level 100 skeleton legion!
Everyone, attack with all your might! Ignore magic! Pooh! Don't even mention potion money to I at this time! Attack with everything you have!
Also, Flying Fire, lead 5000 players to reinforce the northern gate immediately! Fuck!
Those eight hundred idiots couldn't even withstand the first round. Boss Shusheng was right, the eight hundred riders are all a bunch of bastards … "
Frivolous Scholar: "I … did I say that?
I probably forgot … "
Breeze That Touches the Moon: "Everyone, do your best!
If we can defeat all the monsters this time, White Cloud City will level up by 1, and we might even get an unexpected reward! "
Sword Fire Ghostflame: "Yeah!
Beautiful Moon is right! Everyone, do your best! "
… …
The battle in White Cloud City was intense, and Ling Xue and I were still searching for a hiding spot on the mountain peak.
"Scholar!
Look over there … "
Ling Xue pointed to the distance and said with a smile, "I think there's a small cave over there!"
I looked around, and as expected, there was a small crack under a giant boulder. It wasn't a cave, but it was enough for Ling Xue and me to hide.
"Then let's do it here!"
I looked up at the storm in the distance. It just so happened that this place was in the path of the storm!
White Cloud City might be able to win ten waves of monsters, but there was no way we could cross the eye of the storm. White Cloud City might be sturdy, but it would be no different from a tofu construction in the face of a forbidden spell.
I felt a great deal of pressure at this moment. Half of White Cloud City's safety depended on me and Ling Xue. If we could stop Karun the Windchaser, then our chances of winning this war would increase by at least 50%!
Rustle rustle...
I jumped off the Fire Cloud Leopard and put it away. Then, I crawled into the crack between the boulders with Ling Xue.
As the storm approached, the air was filled with ice and snow elements. The temperature dropped a lot, and even I felt like I couldn't resist it!
"It's so cold … so cold!"
Ling Xue crossed her arms, her pearly white teeth chattering. She looked so cute that I couldn't help myself.
Therefore, I opened my arms and hugged Ling Xue. This time, it wasn't just because we were affectionate, but also to keep each other warm. If we didn't do this, we would've frozen to death before the Windchaser arrived.
The temperature kept dropping, and with a "Cha Cha" sound, a layer of frost rapidly formed on the rocks beside us. Even our armor turned snow-white.
"Scholar, are we going to freeze to death?"
I hugged the little beauty in my arms tightly and said with a shivering smile, "No … no way, right?
But even if … even if we freeze to death, at least we'll be hugging each other. If people dig us out in the future, we'll be living specimens of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai! "
"Hehe, you're still in the mood to joke at a time like this ~"
I chuckled. "We need to maintain an optimistic attitude. Being anxious won't help us. Only by staying calm and collected can we survive this disaster!"
Ling Xue pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Do you regret coming up here with me to watch the snow? If it wasn't for my stubborn request, we might have slept until the next morning. Whether or not the city was besieged would have nothing to do with us."
I let out a sigh. "I'm not the kind of person who likes to run away. If I want to be the lord of White Cloud City and rule the world, then I should at least be able to protect the world, right?
As the saying goes, a hero's greatest responsibility is to turn chaos into order and benefit the world. Haha! "
"Hehe, that's true …"
Outside, the wind was biting cold, and darkness had enveloped the world.
Shocked, I said in a low voice, "Xiao Xue, the storm is coming!"
