Chapter 294: Chapter 14: Getting Old

Li Changhe was taken aback, not expecting to meet someone he knew. Yang Dong’s plan to become famous had failed!

Cangyue Ming?

He was the teammate who got injured and left the field first while fighting the [Sun Halo].

According to the girl, half of his body was gone at that time. It was only by using his own [Title Skill], [Dream of the Enigmatic Butterfly], to create a confusing illusion that he managed to stay alive until the [Great Wall] rescue team arrived.

Li Changhe had been wondering how the hell that had happened. I mean, he was missing half his body for god’s sake!

He told himself: Don’t worry, I’m fine.

Body: Yeah, I’m fine.

Could he really fool life and death like that?

But on second thought, he could summon soldiers from the Great Tang dynasty out of thin air. Creating illusions wasn’t too far-fetched...

In the [Friends] chat, Cangyue Ming sent a message asking, "Are both of them from [General Mountain], or are they both from the ’Mountain and Sea Alliance’?"

"He Qi is one of them. You know him too. You can trust them both. But keep our identities from the Moon God as members of the [Great Wall]. Don’t let him know that I infiltrated the ’Mountain and Sea Alliance’"

"Alright, I got it." Cangyue Ming replied. He was also a member of the third team of Yanyun Division. When the [General Mountain] infiltrated the ’Mountain and Sea Alliance,’ he was transferred from Yanyun Division to other branches.

He didn’t expect to meet them here. Damn, he can’t let this dog rider know his name! Cangyue Ming thought. Yang Dong was still in the inland removing curses last time they spoke, and he felt quite pitiful. Better not to accompany him this time.

"Your previous injury?" Li Changhe asked in the [Friends] chat.

"The medical skills of the [Great Wall] are very strong. I won’t go into details. Some of it is confidential," Cangyue Ming didn’t explain further.

By now, the four of them knew one another fairly well. The highest level among them were Moon God and Cangyue Ming. Both were at LV9.

Upon unlocking his [Player] abilities, Moon God’s defense and attack power would both be very strong. It’s hard to say if he could beat a storyline boss, but his chances of winning against another [Player] would be quite high. After all, it would not be easy to defeat someone like him.

Even without his abilities unlocked, he was a talented doctor who could provide help if any of them were injured.

As for Cangyue Ming, he was the high-energy [Player] among the four.

As long as he unlocked his attribute, he could sense disturbances within several kilometers around him. However, doing so would make him detected by other high-energy [Players]. But that was just a game of cat and mouse among them.

He also had decent combat power, and his [Backpack] was filled with many firearms.

However, the consequence of focusing on energy attribute was that he was not as strong as his peers in terms of other attributes. He wasn’t suited for direct combat and was easily targeted.

He had plant identification skills as well. Survival in the wild was not a challenge for him.

And he knew how to read the yin yang... Li Changhe laughed.

Upon asking, he wasn’t a transcendent from the Tao school, just a hobbyist.

Li Changhe was thinking that Mr. All-known was a genuine Taoist transcendent, but he had never seen him read the yin yang for anyone.

"It’s different. This stuff is very mysterious. It has nothing to do with my abilities or strength. I just played with it while I was recuperating. Before entering here, I even had a transcendent from our division do a divination for me. He said it would be a mix of good and bad luck, first good then bad, or first bad then good." Cangyue Ming shrugged: "See, I met you guys right away. That’s good luck, right?"

"Bit of a stretch, huh?"

"Yeah, a bit... Last time luck was supposed to be on my side, I went in for a task and was surrounded by a dozen guns..." Cangyue Ming replied, "But we always have our hopes up, right?"

The others nodded, not taking it too seriously.

If it were really that accurate, all [Players] would be practitioners of the Taoist school.

Just go with the task, do a divination first, then either enter or decline if it’s bad luck.

In terms of level, He Feng was the same as Li Changhe at LV7, but he was slightly closer to leveling up. He was expected to get to LV8 faster than Li.

If they were to classify themselves based on their combat roles, Cangyue Ming would be a scout and auxiliary role, Moon God would be a tank, He Feng would be a gunner, and Li Changhe would be an...

Li Changhe scratched his head, feeling that his combat style was a bit vague. Was he an archer? Well, he could summon people. Cavalry? He could use Shadow Step. Assassin? Without Brother Ting’s White Fog, and with [Tolling Bell] on him, that didn’t quite fit either.

He was a rather unconventional soldier with extraordinary abilities.

Kind of flashy...

Whatever, let’s call him an archer. After all, in his memory, there were plenty of archers who didn’t use bows, so one more wouldn’t make a difference.

At the moment, the four of them were hiding in the jungle, avoiding the locals.

Although the locals had strange body structures and strong physiques, and some were difficult to detect, they had no combat experience, couldn’t hide their footsteps, and had no scouts guarding them.

With the four working together, it wasn’t too difficult to avoid them.

Currently, the danger of these native locals lay in their attributes. As long as they weren’t surrounded, there was no significant danger.

Moreover, they were fighting something else. Li Changhe had seen several natives’ corpses, killed by sharp weapons. A single sword punctured their throats. What could it be? Another group of armed natives?

He Feng’s character was a slightly obese Asian youth, walking at the back of the group, occasionally covering the trails of others.

Li Changhe, on the other hand, picked up a few rocks and used them as meteor hammers.

Cangyue Ming looked around at the plants nearby, identifying those that could be consumed.

Moon God was on the lookout at the front.

By now, it seemed they would have to spend the night in the forest. They couldn’t risk making a fire, as it would expose their position.

They did see a few caves, but all of them had wooden sticks wrapped with skulls in front of them.

The group didn’t dare to explore them casually. The danger warning was evident. Why would they enter and seek death given their current state?

Li Changhe thought about pulling the wooden sticks out,

Anyway, their group wouldn’t enter the caves. But it would be interesting if their opponents accidentally entered the caves without noticing the warning.

Hehe.

As night fell, the four hid in a bush.

They set some traps around the area. Perhaps they couldn’t stop the natives, but they could at least serve as an early warning system.

"So, from what we know so far, there are at least two, if not more, storyline forces here. They are hostile to each other. The other storyline force, which has not yet appeared, is much stronger than those pale natives. After all, they didn’t leave a single corpse behind. Or perhaps they took them away. If they took away the corpses of their companions, then that force has a certain social base. At least they don’t eat humans like those natives. Communication is most likely possible," He Feng analyzed while eating a fruit and having his mouth puckered from the sour taste, "We need to move in that direction."

Li Changhe nodded, "If our abilities don’t get unlocked, our combat advantage against our enemies will depend on who can quickly win over the storyline forces. Too bad that all of us present have male ’roles.’"

The other three were startled, instinctively hugging their chests. He Feng clicked his tongue, "Are you really that desperate?"

"Don’t get me wrong. I’m saying that female characters have an advantage when interacting. They can make the other party lower their guard, whether we’re holding them hostage or manipulating them. It’s more convenient than us big men, right?" Li Changhe clicked his tongue, "As long as they’re not eunuchs."

...

"Achoo!" Tens of miles away on the eastern coast, in a military camp surrounded by black-armored soldiers, a sudden sneeze was heard.

"How strange, could it be that this ghost island can infect even me, an Earth Level transcendent, with a cold?" Master Xia Wu touched his smooth chin, feeling somewhat worried, "I’m getting old!"
