“There’s no need to fight anymore. We’ll retreat now.”
The woman said, and then everyone in front of her disappeared.
[System Notification: Dark Night Squad has withdrawn from the mission. ]
[System Notification: Dark Night Squad has failed the mission.]
“Captain, why did you retreat?”
“The person on the other side is Carefree Dream.”
“Carefree Dream?!”
“Do you think you can beat him?”
“That’s still better than being a coward and running away.”
“We’ll meet again one day. If we become enemies today, we won’t have a chance to become friends tomorrow.”
“Captain, are you trying to rope in Carefree Dream as a friend?”
“Let’s go.”
The woman did not answer the member’s question. Instead, she returned to Kesha City alone.
On the other hand, when Snow Chaser and the others saw that they left, they were filled with confusion and were about to ask him about it when they saw him standing there in a daze.
There was a faint tear mark on his cheek as he spoke.
“Bro are you… crying?”
“It can’t be that bad. Is that girl really that beautiful? I couldn’t tell!”
Clutch King’s words had led to him being beaten up by Snow Chaser and Winnie. Clutch King wanted to ask why, but in the end, he was beaten up again.
Dream Seeker did not say anything as he silently watched Li Yi.
He too was a little confused, but he did not say anything. He could tell that Li Yi definitely knew the person on the other side.
However, he did not know why Li Yi was crying, and he did not need to know. The truth would naturally come out in the future.
Li Yi snapped out of his longing memories and collected himself. He led the team to the jungle and with the help of Dream Seeker, they removed all the traps.
Then, they set up the explosion point. As they ran out of the jungle in time, the bomb exploded.
The earth-shattering explosion attracted the troops and players of the both cities who were waiting for the start of the war.
Facing the raging fire that burned tens of thousands of miles in front of him, Li Yi no longer cared about these things in his mind.
All he could think about was the girl’s face from before.
“Li Yi, what dungeon is this?”
“Li Yi, you’re too weak.”
“Li Yi, I’m already level 50, right?”
“Li Yi, congratulations on becoming a Berserker.”
“Li Yi, it seems like we can’t get out.”
“Li Yi, are those the gods up ahead?”
“Li Yi, you have to defend this city. This is our last fortress.”
“Li Yi, if there is a next life, will you come and look for me? I... I will definitely come and look for you...”
Li Yi watched as the fire burned down the trees bit by bit. Gradually, a road leading to Kesha City appeared in front of him.
“You’ve found me. Next, it’s my turn to look for you.”
When Snow Chaser saw that the fire almost dissipated, she nodded her head in satisfaction. “Let’s go Carefree Dream. It’s time for us to hand in our mission.”
Snow Chaser turned her head, but Carefree Dream was not there anymore. Looking around, she saw Li Yi’s figure rush into the small path that had just appeared in the sea of fire.
“Carefree Dream!”
Snow Chaser shouted loudly, but unfortunately, Li Yi had already entered the sea of fire and could not hear her shouts at all.
When Winnie noticed this, she got up to chase Li Yi, but was stopped by Dream Chaser.
“That’s Kesha City on the other side. There are tens of thousands of players and soldiers there, so we can’t go.”
“Then why should we let him go alone?”
“You and Snow Chaser go back to hand in your mission and inform the Commander to lead the army into battle. Clutch King and I will go after him, we’re faster anyways.”
After saying this, Dream Seeker handed Winnie over to Snow Chaser and then headed in the direction of Li Yi with Clutch King.
Although Snow Chaser and Winnie were unwilling to do so, they still went back.
…
Li Yi was alone in the sea of fire, surrounded by scorching flames.
Even Li Yi’s body was starting to burn.
“-5! Burn Damage!”
“-6! Burn Damage!”
Li Yi did not care about the scorching flames, he had already lost all his usual rationality.
Right now, his only goal was to go to Kesha city.
He was too shocked before and did not even have the time to say a single word to her.
Li Yi even began to hate himself for the fact that he did not discover her identity earlier.
“I’m really st*pid. I’ve been reborn. Why didn’t I look for her earlier?”
Li Yi began to feel frustrated with himself. He was too obsessed with the disasters of the past and had neglected the simplest thing in life.
His former comrades were still alive in this life, so it made sense that she would definitely still be alive.
He was so busy leveling up to improve his strength, to build his new team, that he did not seriously look for his former teammates in his past time. He was mad that he did not try to find them in this life.
He felt regretful, or perhaps he was angry at himself for not living up to their expectations.
Did he really forget about them?
Was he really so busy leveling up that he forgot about them?
No, these were all excuses.
He was afraid. Afraid to face her again, afraid of the result of this life, he would lose her again.
He dared not to admit this, so he chose not to see her, and chose to face the gods himself.
However…
The moment he saw her, his heart told him once again that he wanted to see her, and he should not leave her, not in this life.
His heart could not ignore her existence. No matter how much he restrained himself, his heart still wanted to see her.
Li Yi finally rushed out of the sea of fire.
The raging fire was burning behind him. He walked out of it nonetheless. Layers of flames burned on his body as it enveloped his entire body.
With a wave of Deaths Descent, the flames on his body were extinguished. His entire body emitted white smoke. Even his body started to rise in temperature, but he did not care.
“Hey, did someone walk out of the fire in front of us?”
“Did he?”
Warhead Iron, who was standing on the city wall and holding a telescope, suddenly pointed at the forest that had been destroyed by the fire and said to his team members.
Illusive Mystery took a quick look and immediately ran to the captain in shock. After the captain heard what was happening, she ran to the city wall. She took the telescope and saw the man covered in white smoke.
“How did he get here? Did the fire not burn him to death?”
Not to mention just the squad, even the army outside the city noticed it.
“Who is that person? How did he come from Emperor City?”
“Look at that cloak. On it is the symbol of Emperor City.”
“He came to Kesha City alone. Is he crazy?”
“I saw that sword on the video once. That person is Carefree Dream.”
“Carefree Dream? Really?”
“Look, Carefree Dream of Emperor City is here to fight our army alone.”
Soon, this news spread throughout Kesha City. Everyone took their equipment and left the city to get ready for battle.
The opponent was only one person, and it was Carefree Dream. If they wanted to win first place, this was their only chance, and no one would let go of this chance.
Li Yi’s body was giving out.
Looking at the army before him, he consumed all the potions he had.
The players from Kesha City looked at the empty potion bottles on the ground and they could not help but sigh.
How rich did he have to be to drink the potions like he was drinking water.
Li Yi did not care about these things. With a black shield in one hand and a magic sword in the other, he faced the number of players in front of him that could massacre an entire city.
He said coldly.
“Jing, I’m coming to find you.”
