Xiao Jie stood on the rooftop of the building, gazing at the distant night view.
He vaguely felt that the scene before him was sowhat familiar, as if he had just seen it not long ago.
While he was puzzled, a voice suddenly ca from behind.
"Brother Sui Feng, what a refined interest, stargazing and moon watching here."
Xiao Jie was montarily confused; this sentence also seed very familiar. He subconsciously looked up, and sure enough, he saw a sky full of stars, hanging high above.
Turning around, he saw a Green Robed Taoist, smiling at him.
It’s Feng Buqi!
"Feng, how did you get here..." He was startled and realized. Feng Buqi was a character in the ga; how could he appear in reality?
No, maybe I’m dreaming?
The thought occurred to him, and everything around suddenly took on a surreal appearance.
Xiao Jie was long beyond ordinary; in a mont, he regained his clarity.
"Did Feng enter my dream to tell sothing?"
"Brother Sui Feng, such a quick reaction, alas, I, Feng, have wandered half my life, all muddled. Near the end, I finally rembered so past affairs, but got involved in a big battle. Back then, you advised not to look for Wang Xie, to live as a carefree Taoist. Now it seems, those were truly heartfelt words.
Unfortunately, so things, even if you know they are dangerous, you still have to do them. But fortunately, after spending a month with Wang Xie, I understood many things, and at least can die knowing why. My end is near, so I ca to bid you farewell."
Xiao Jie felt a stab of pity, vaguely guessing what’s going on, "Where is Feng going?"
"Since I have co, I will go where I should go. I, a re Taoist, not being ordinary, naturally need not suffer the pains of reincarnation..."
After saying a few words, he suddenly got emotional again: "Look at the sky full of stars, how beautiful. Whenever I see such a scene, I feel that living in this vast world, we are never truly alone.
I have recently rembered so things, perhaps Brother Sui Feng is interested in hearing—"
Xiao Jie woke up with a start. What he saw was the ceiling of his bedroom.
Ah, it was just a dream after all.
As they say, what you think about during the day, you dream about at night. It’s probably because yesterday, while playing the ga, I thought about Feng Buqi.
To have dread of Feng Buqi, what did he say again... Xiao Jie carefully tried to recall what Feng Buqi said to him in the dream, but couldn’t rember any of it.
He felt a sense of inexplicable loss for a mont.
Before he realized it, ti quickly reached 8 o’clock.
Thinking of what needed to be done today, Xiao Jie gathered his spirit and logged into the ga.
Before 8 o’clock, all the team mbers had arrived without any absentees.
Xiao Jie scanned everyone; when his gaze fell on Gu Feiyu, he hesitated for a mont.
"Little Gu, your level is too low, the equipnt is poor, and your professional abilities are not yet ford. You shouldn’t participate in this operation."
"Ah, Brother Jie, I—"
"No need to say more, my mind is made up."
Although this battle seed secure, Xiao Jie had a feeling there might be so special danger. Gu Feiyu’s blood volu was too low, the margin for error was too small; better not to get involved.
Not allowing Gu Feiyu to object, Xiao Jie gave the order, "Set off."
The group left the inn and ca to the square, where a group of players from the Dragon Soaring Guild had already assembled.
Sure enough, Xiao Jie recognized the leader; it was Dongfang Sheng.
The current Dongfang Sheng had already beco a Level 32 Hu Ben General, fully clad in iron armor, holding an iron spear, with his warhorse fully armored, looking quite impressive.
Although compared to Xiao Jie’s team, they were not comparable, but compared to ordinary players, they could be considered a group of Fines.
"Good morning, Feng. The president asked to bring people to assist you with a mission."
Dongfang Sheng looked at the people behind Xiao Jie, feeling a wave of envy and jealousy. Back then, he didn’t cling to the opportunity closely; otherwise, he might have been just as powerful now.
Look at these guys, every one of them bedecked in orange and purple, too enviable.
Xiao Jie glanced at the team.
Exactly forty people, most seemingly only over level 20, with only four or five above level 30, and they were all normal Physical Professions, clearly excellent cannon fodder personnel.
"Hmm, are these your mbers?"
"Yes, although their level is not very high, it’s just a second-rate group, but everyone’s training is earnest, and they are certainly reliable in battle."
Although Dongfang Sheng was not confident, he could not dampen morale with his words.
He thought Feng would pick on such a second-rate team, but to his surprise, the latter was satisfied and said, "Not bad, they look very elite, just right for this action. Join later."
After saying that, Xiao Jie shouted to everyone, "Now, make a final check, go quickly to buy what’s missing. If there are no issues, we move."
Indeed, there were so unprepared individuals. Several people ca out from the team, so lacking elixirs, others talismans.
Xiao Jie did not rebuke and urged everyone to act quickly.
After bustling around for over ten minutes, they finally got everything ready, and Xiao Jie led the large force out of Luoyang City.
The vast contingent sped towards the northwest direction.
Even though the assisting team was a second-line squad with moderate strength, it’s still a large guild, and everyone was equipped with a horse, so their speed was not lacking.
After a fast gallop, the team quickly entered the range of the Endless Wilderness.
Xiao Jie still rembered the embarrassnt of coming here the first ti, chased everywhere by wild creatures along the roadside, but this ti, he was no longer the sa.
"Look, there’s a Boss over there!" soone suddenly exclaid.
Xiao Jie looked in the direction of the voice, indeed seeing a wild Boss—the Netherworld Ghost General! Black armor and black horse, wandering in the wild. Xiao Jie rembered being terrified when he first passed by here, chased by it, but this ti—
The Netherworld Ghost General suddenly raised its head, glanced this way, and turned its horse to leave, surprisingly running away.
"Feng—"
"Ignore it, the mission is more important."
"Oh."
Dongfang Sheng was a bit disappointed, initially thinking he could gain sothing from the Boss’s drop on the way. But upon recalling the mission objective, he got excited again. The president had said that this ti, following Feng to execute the mission was to capture a high-level resource point. Once the mission was completed, they would have first dibs on the initial wave of resource materials from the point.
Although the guild would surely send people to maintain control later, the first wave of benefits would definitely allow them to enjoy a substantial portion.
Besides, everyone in the guild knew well that following Feng ant good rewards.
A Boss spotted by Feng was bound to drop great items; being in charge of the team, Dongfang Sheng would surely get his share when dividing the loot.
Across mountains, around canyons, through deserts, the sprint lasted a full three hours, and by noon, Xiao Jie finally saw the shadow of that forest again.
Xiao Jie halted the team on a hill, looking at the Mysterious Forest below, and on the other side, Konglao Mountain. His heart surged with waves of emotion, hard to calm.
Back again at last, about to face everything once more, the oath given when leaving back then, finally about to fulfill it now.
Attain immortality—today is the day!
Xiao Jie watched intently for a long ti, until soone behind him couldn’t help but ask, "Feng, shall we go down?"
"No, you wait here. I need to make so preparations. If everything goes well, perhaps we won’t need to venture."
"Everyone, protect ; I am going to refine the Dragon Ball."
