Chapter 226 - Wait Until the Arrow is at the End of its Flight (1/2)

Not long after, Tang Rou carried her cup over and pa.s.sed by Ye Xiu, who had his two legs crossed and a cigarette in his mouth, a very relaxed look.

When she returned to her seat, she put on her headphones and heard Ye Xiu discussing with Steamed Bun Invasion how awesome it’d be to fight with someone outside of Line Canyon and then push the opponent to his death.

“Yeah, I’ve done it before. It’s probably been ten years since then…….”

“Ten years ago? Senior, you’re not exaggerating are you?” Steamed Bun Invasion interrupted.

“It’s true. It’s definitely been ten years. It’s a story that took place in the first server.” Ye Xiu said.

“Oh oh, please tell it…….” Steamed Bun Invasion wouldn’t interrupt him. Tang Rou didn’t interject either and listened to Ye Xiu tell of a battle at Line Canyon that happened ten years ago.

At that time, Glory hadn’t been open for very long, so a large amount of players had just recently entered a new world. Everyone was fighting over BOSSes, fighting over equipment, fighting over materials…… Ye Xiu and his friend had joined in on the mess as well.

“It’s a game, right? So the sword flies here and the sword flies there. The sword flies wherever, it’s a battle.” Ye Xiu said casually.

“We were only two, but our opponents were an entire guild, who were chasing us because we stole the drops from a BOSS. Even though we were good enough to wipe them out, there was no way our mana would last. So at that time, we fought while running, but those guys refused to give up and we eventually ran to here. At this point, a bright idea suddenly popped up in our heads and we began to use all sorts of ways to push those guys off the cliff. A Falling Flower Palm would blow away three, who would instantly die from the fall. It was so cheap. However, some cla.s.ses wouldn’t die from the fall. For example, Gunners use Aerial Fire to avoid falling to their deaths, but it didn’t matter because even if they didn’t die, they wouldn’t be able to jump back up. Their only choice was to circle around…….” Ye Xiu explained.

“Then were you two able to push all of them off?” Steamed Bun Invasion asked excitedly, “How many did you push off?”

“I hadn’t counted, but we were able to push off nearly everyone in the guild! The remaining ones saw that they weren’t able to run, so they jumped off by themselves.”

“No way……” Steamed Bun Invasion didn’t believe him.

‘Yeah….. actually, since the game hadn’t been open for long, there weren’t that many players in a guild.” Ye Xiu said.

“How many?” Steamed Bun Invasion asked.

“20?” Ye Xiu recalled.

“Tch…..” Steamed Bun Invasion disdained. The story had sounded so incredible, but it had just been a small battle against 20 players.

“Ha ha.” Ye Xiu could only laugh. He couldn’t forget their main mission, so he peeked out. Tyrannical Ambition’s players were really careful. They were worried they would be discovered, so they continued to bring the BOSS farther into the depths of the dead-end.

“We just have to close in slowly.” Ye Xiu said.

Under Ye Xiu’s lead, they would switch hiding places from time to time, never exposing themselves. On the world chat, quite a few players were now questioning what Lord Grim had said. Ye Xiu didn’t care. However, the players guarding Line Canyon’s entrances all thought that Lord Grim would take the chance to escape. They had been waiting for about an hour, but there was still no sign of him.

“Lord Grim’s evil schemes have been seen through. He doesn’t dare come.” Everyone confidently concluded as if they had won a battle.

On Lord Grim’s side, it was finally time.

“Okay, it’s about time now.” Ye Xiu said to the team. The three were hiding behind a small dirt mound. Lord Grim was peeking his head out more and more.
