"Retreat, retreat! The fans still like to read:!"
I shouted as I swung the Cyan Netherworld Sword and used Burning Blade Slash and Thousand Ice Slash to stop the Mystic Alliance mages from advancing any further.
The scorching fireball wreaked havoc in the air. Xu Yang's shoulder armor was burned red, and he had less than 10% HP left. His face was filled with rage. "Fuck!"
The Dragonlight Cavalry quickly retreated, but there was only an ice cliff behind them!
… …
"We can't retreat any further!"
Chaos Moon looked at me and shouted, "Lu Chen, we're going to be annihilated if this continues!"
I hastily opened the world map and looked at the surrounding terrain. Suddenly, I found that there was a small map of a wild bear cave behind us. However, the heavy snowfall had frozen the bear cave in the blink of an eye.
The Armored Ice Qilin Horse galloped across the ground as we approached the entrance of the Wild Bear Cave. I gritted my teeth as I watched the scene unfold before me. Goddammit, just how fast is the freezing speed of the game? It hasn't even been an hour, and the entrance of the Wild Bear Cave is already several meters thick!
"This …"
He Yi looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Are you trying to hide inside the Wild Bear Cave?"
"Yeah, we can hide for now!"
I raised my sword and shouted, "If your attack power is high enough, attack the ice layer with me and open a path to survival!"
Chaos Moon, High Fighting Spirits, He Yi, Gui Guzi and the rest raised their weapons. In the next instant, Burning Blade Slash, Universe Break, Rock Crush, Xiezhi Howl, Purgatory of Ice and Magma and so on hit the ice barrier. Bang bang bang bang! The ice barrier didn't disappoint me.
"Roar!"
A wild bear pounced out from inside, as though it was protesting against our group of adventurers who had invaded its home.
"Get inside!"
I jumped off my horse and kicked the Wild Bear into the cave. Then, I said, "Dragonlight Cavalry, hurry up and enter the Wild Bear Cave! The cave is narrow, so the mages won't be able to attack us head-on. If they dare to enter the cave, we'll kill every single one of them!
I grabbed He Yi's icy hand and pulled her into the Wild Bear Cave. Next to me, the Phantom Wolf King's fur stood on end as it growled and pounced into the cave. In the blink of an eye, it had killed the Wild Bear.
A group of players filed into the cave, and it didn't take long for over 1100 Dragonlight Cavalrymen to enter the cave. Dammit, I lost almost 200 Dragonlight Cavalrymen to a single volley of mages just now. Damn it!
…
Outside the cave, a group of mages surrounded the entrance of the cave with Rain of Fire and Rain of Ice. A high-level mage shouted angrily, "Dammit, these Dragonlight Cavalrymen killed too many of our allies! Let's surround this place and roast them into pigs!
Ptui! What King of China's Iron Cavalry? They can only run away! Ptui!! "
Another mage said, "Lock down the entrance with heavy firepower so that they can't come out. Hurry up and inform the Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry to charge in and slaughter all of these Dragonlight Cavalrymen! We'll avenge the Northern Alliance's Behemoth Cavalry! Hmph, the Germans will have to thank us for this!"
Outside the cave, the rumbling of hooves gradually grew closer.
Inside the cold bear cave, I held He Yi's hand. In the darkness, her eyes shone with a moving light.
I tightened my grip on her hand and said, "The Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry will be here in the blink of an eye. We can't just sit here and wait for them to attack us without our mounts. It's only a matter of time before we die here. They can summon priests, but we're just a bunch of cavalry who can't recover."
He Yi opened the map and glanced at it. Suddenly, she pursed her lips into a smile and said, "Yeah, look, Lu Chen. There are two exits to this cave. One is at the foot of the mountain, and the other is halfway up Dragonbone Mountain Range. We can take that exit and circle around!"
I was overjoyed. I hurriedly raised my sword and growled, "Okay, Eve and I will scout ahead. Chaos Moon, Little Gui, you guys stay here and block the exit with two or three people. Kill every Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalry that comes our way. We can't let them enter the cave, or we're done for!"
"Got it! Don't worry, Boss Broken Halberd!"
Gui Guzi waved his spear and said with a smile, "I've learned quite a bit about combat from Beauty Lin. A few days ago, I ran into her repeatedly in the arena, and I lost more often than not …"
I was speechless. Lin Yixin was actually in the arena? No wonder I couldn't find her.
… …
After saying goodbye to everyone, I summoned my doppelganger and cooperated with the Phantom Wolf King to attack the bear mobs along the way. These wild bears were only Level 160, so their pets were more than enough to take care of them. This way, He Yi and I wouldn't be affected too much. We had to hurry, or else Chaos Moon, Gui Guzi and the others would suffer heavy losses at the cave entrance.
The cave was winding, and we continued to climb upward. The winding path led to the top. I gripped the Cyan Netherworld Sword in one hand and used its light to illuminate the way. He Yi followed closely behind me. Our beautiful guild leader's face was bright red and she was panting heavily.
Five minutes later, I heard Gui Guzi's voice in the channel, "They're here. Fuck, do they really need to make such a big fuss?
All fifty thousand Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen are outside the cave, and they're coming in with the help of the mages. Chaos Moon, you and High Fighting Spirits guard the other side. Anyone with an AoE skill, come to the front and get ready to suppress them. Don't be stingy with your Barrier Break's cooldown! Kill them all! "
The sound of swords cutting through armor entered my ears. I frowned. Goddammit, the Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen are so eager to kill us. The battle has already begun, so I need to hurry up with He Yi.
… …
We crawled upward in the darkness for almost ten minutes. When we reached the bottom, we saw 80,000 high-level mages of the Mystic Alliance and 50,000 Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen. They were all kings of the Northern Alliance, but they were all gathered at the foot of the mountain. Their only goal was to kill over a thousand Dragonlight Cavalrymen. It was clear just how much humiliation the Dragonlight Cavalry had brought to the Northern Alliance.
"We're almost there. I can see a trace of light above us …" He Yi said as she looked up.
I smiled. I held my sword in one hand and grabbed He Yi with the other so that she wouldn't fall.
… …
We climbed another hundred or so meters or so, but we discovered that the ground above us was already covered in a layer of ice and snow. Fuck, it's snowing at the foot of Dragonbone Mountain Range, let alone at the top of the mountain. God knows how thick the layer of ice here is. This is insane!
"OMG, the ice is so thick …" He Yi looked up and said, "Even Purgatory of Ice and Magma and Burning Blade Slash won't be able to break through this thick layer of ice, right?"
I sucked in a deep breath and said, "Have my apparition try using Purple Dragon Howl. Everyone else, just watch as normal!"
"Mn!"
Purple light suddenly flashed below us. My apparition had already activated Purple Dragon Howl, and the image of a purple dragon rushed out of the ground and slammed into the thick layer of ice!
Bang bang bang...
The layer of ice shook, and a dragon roar rang out as a bunch of ice shards fell to the ground. In the next moment, the tunnel lit up. Okay, we got through!
He Yi and I climbed up excitedly. By the time I climbed out of the cave, I discovered that we were almost at the peak of the mountain range. The ground was covered in snow that was 1 to 2 meters deep, and the sky was covered in a silvery white color. The Dragonbone Mountain Range had turned into a land of snow during winter.
"Okay, let's retreat!" He Yi said with a smile.
"Wait …"
I suddenly stopped He Yi and pointed to the distance. "Eve, look over there. That's …"
A pine tree was lying crooked in the snow, and a lot of snow had accumulated there.
He Yi looked around and suddenly shuddered. "That Purple Dragon Howl just now caused a small avalanche?"
"Yeah!" I nodded heavily.
I looked down at the ground and saw the Mystic Alliance players and Bloodthirsty Beast Cavalrymen. They were waiting for the last Dragonlight Cavalryman to die, but they didn't know that danger was about to befall them!
… …
"Lu Chen, are you planning to use the avalanche of Dragonbone Mountain Range to bury the Northern Alliance's elite troops?" He Yi's eyes were mesmerizing.
I nodded with a smile. "Yes, it's a very feasible plan. Fans of the book love to read it."
I looked up and saw a giant boulder at the edge of the mountain peak. It looked like it was about to roll down, but there were three smaller boulders that were several meters tall at the foot of the boulder. All we needed to do was knock them off and cause the boulder to roll down. The chain reaction would cause the snow to pile up and collapse, and it would definitely cause a terrifying avalanche!
However, the avalanche would definitely be earth-shattering. Half of Dragonbone Mountain Range would shake, and a small map like Wild Bear Cave would definitely collapse from the pressure. The 1000 + Dragonlight Cavalrymen inside the cave would be buried in the sea of snow, and that wasn't something we wanted to see.
After I came to an agreement with He Yi, I decisively said in the guild channel, "Little Gui, Chaos Moon, take everyone back to the city immediately. We'll teleport to Wind City and then run back here. We'll reach Dawn City in about an hour!"
"Got it!"
Gui Guzi and the others didn't ask for the reason and returned to the city immediately.
… …
"Get ready!"
I raised the Cyan Netherworld Sword and aimed at the boulders. Then, I used Burning Blade Slash and Thousand Ice Slash. He Yi also used Purgatory of Ice and Magma!
Boom boom boom!
A lot of snow had already fallen off the boulder after a series of collisions. However, the boulders were so big that only a few chunks had been shaved off. They didn't move an inch!
“MD！”
I gritted my teeth and checked my skill cooldowns. Thank goodness I hadn't used Purple Dragon Howl before, so it was now off cooldown!
I chugged down a Saint Spirit Potion and healed my HP to full. Let's begin!
"Hong, fans of the book love to read it!"
I stabbed my longsword into the ground, causing the earth to tremble. When I pulled out the Cyan Netherworld Sword, the image of a purple divine dragon appeared. I swung my sword and the energy of the divine dragon howled out, wreaking havoc around a few boulders!
Bang bang bang...
Explosions rang out one after another, and to everyone's astonishment, the boulders that were several meters tall were actually torn to shreds by the Purple Dragon Howl. In the next moment, the boulders that were hundreds of meters tall started to shake and tilt. Then, they started to move faster and faster, and the boulders around them started to fall as well. The snowballs kept growing bigger and bigger!
The entire Dragonbone Mountain Range was roaring, and an avalanche was forming!
At the same time, He Yi and I entered the avalanche zone and entered combat mode. We couldn't use our return scrolls anymore.
… …
"Eve, grab me!"
I grabbed He Yi with one arm and stabbed the Cyan Netherworld Sword into a nearby boulder. The two of us were practically suspended in midair as we watched the boulders around us crumble and fall down the mountain.
Visible to the naked eye, the entire snowy mountain range was moving, burying everything beneath it.
