Wang Yu did not intend on taking A Thousand Old Blossoms along. However, throughout this journey, he demonstrated his professional ability to be a guide, and Wang Yu appreciated this.

Seeing that he wanted to leave, Wang Yu said, “Do you want to take this contract with you?”

Hearing the word ‘contract’, A Thousand Old Blossoms instantly stopped his steps.

After all, this contract represented the justice of the system. With it around, he would have to take orders from Wang Yu unconditionally.

“Great God Iron Bull, what do you want from me?” A Thousand Old Blossoms realised what was going on and looked at the contract in Wang Yu’s hand yearningly.

At the beginning, he did not feel that signing a slavery contract was wrong but after he signed it, he felt the invisible pressure.

This contract represented his freedom. So long as Wang Yu gave it to him, he would be freed. He would be free to do whatever he wanted just like someone who had cleared his debts after years.

“Bring us to the dark crevice and I’ll return this to you,” Wang Yu said with a wide smile.

“Dark crevice?” A Thousand Old Blossoms was shocked and said, “You guys really dare to go?”

“Why? You don’t want to lead the way?” Meng Xi asked from the side.

“I… I of course want to.” A Thousand Old Blossoms quickly nodded his head.

Damn it. He would at most die once if he went to the dark crevice but he would regain his freedom by just taking them there. Naturally, he knew what to prioritise.

…

A Thousand Old Blossoms was familiar with the border’s terrain. After ten minutes, the three of them finally crossed the Ethel Mountains and arrived at the border along Wild City and the European server and A Thousand Old Blossoms quickly invisibilized himself.

“Heh!”

Seeing the system notifications, Wang Yu was elated.

These two border towns really went through hard times together. One was a city in the wilderness while the other had been forgotten. Just by their names, they had such a tough time.

“Stay quiet!”

Just then, A Thousand Old Blossoms sent a private message, “This is the European server. The players here are different from the national server. They are very aggressive in terms of invasion. They’ll rob anything good they see and kill any player who owns them.”

“Indeed!” Meng Xi nodded and said, “This gaming world magnified the dark side of humans indefinitely.”

“Then shouldn’t you go invisible too?” Wang Yu said, “I won’t die but I’m afraid you do.”

Meng Xi rolled her eyes at Wang Yu and said, “I am a Pugilist. How can I be invisible!”

“A Pugilist?” A Thousand Old Blossom was shocked to hear what Meng Xi said, “Sister, you look so pretty. I didn’t expect you to be so bold.”

Indeed, Pugilists did not even have weapons so when they fought, it was all huddling and throwing so it was easy to be taken advantage of, making few female players choose this job. Most of them would choose gentle and less gory jobs like Priests or Magicians.

“None of your business!” Meng Xi stared at A Thousand Old Blossoms who quickly shut up.

…

The players in the Common Era continent were indeed as described by A Thousand Old Blossoms – full of aggression.

Just as the three of them were bantering, suddenly a murderous aura came from afar.

“Be careful. There is an ambush nearby!”

Wang Yu softly reminded the rest after sensing the aura.

“Haha!” A Thousand Old Blossoms heard him and laughed, “Brother Bull, I did not believe that Quan Zhen Sect people liked to pull pranks. Are you trying to scare me? I frequent this…”

“Swish!”

Before A Thousand Old Blossoms finished his words, suddenly a sound passing the air was heard and a sniping arrow which brought along a white ray of light flew out from a bush towards Meng Xi’s head.

If it was other experts from Quan Zhen Sect, once they heard the sound of an approaching arrow, they would roll away but Meng Xi lacked awareness so her ability to act quickly was lacking.

Seeing the arrow approach, she was completely stunned and did not instinctively dodge it.

Just when the arrow was about to shoot through Meng Xi’s head, Wang Yu casually caught it at the shaft. At that moment, the arrowhead was less than three millimetres from Meng Xi.

“Eh?”

The Archer in the bush was shocked at this sight and raised his arms to shoot another arrow.

Before Meng Xi regained her composure, Wang Yu loosened the hand holding the arrow, grabbed onto Meng Xi’s hair, then pulled her downwards strongly.

Meng Xi was not prepared so when Wang Yu pulled her, she was bent at her waist.

“Ouch! Are you crazy!”

Meng Xi was stunned and was about to flare up.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh!”

Several sounds pierced through the air and a series of arrows flew past Meng Xi’s back.

“Dodged again?!!!”

Seeing this, that Archer in ambush was stunned. After a whole few seconds, he reacted and prepared his bow and arrows again.

However, just then, Wang Yu pulled Meng Xi’s elbow a few steps forward and turned to hide behind a large rock, blocking the Archer’s line of sight.

Wang Yu was an experienced top expert. Although Meng Xi was a burden to him, the usual set of executions – catch the arrow, dodge the arrow, move, block view – was natural to him.

A Thousand Old Blossoms watched from the side with his jaw dropped.

“Damn! Is this how the strongest player in the national server plays?” A Thousand Old Blossoms excitedly shrieked, “Brother Bull, how do you know there was someone in ambush?”

Just then, Wang Yu squinted his eyes. He clenched his right fish and pushed his fist forward towards him.

A Thousand Old Blossoms was shocked and thought Wang Yu wanted to attack him so he jumped backward.

However, the two of them saw the airflow’s direction change. A blonde Assassin with blue eyes and clad in black was pulled out from thin air by Wang Yu’s grab of his hair.

That Assassin looked as puzzled as A Thousand Old Blossoms.

Wang Yu did not let him go. He dragged the Assassin’s head and slammed it harshly on the large rock near him.

“Boom!”

The Assassin’s head was smashed onto the rock and he instantly died.

Meng Xi stood aside in such great shock that her soul almost left her body.

What a ferocious man who smashed someone’s head into a rock…

Luckily, this was in a game and had a limit to the goriness. Or else, based on what Wang Yu did, everyone would have nightmares tonight.

…

“Toke is dead! Go take a look!”

At the same time, those in ambush in the bush saw that their teammate was dead and were shocked. Seven to eight of them jumped out of the bush instantly and surrounded where Wang Yu was hiding.

Seeing the players walk over, A Thousand Old Blossoms panickingly said, “F*ck! Eight of them! And the Archers in ambush! Brother Bull, let’s retreat.”

Meng Xi also worriedly said, “What now, what now?”

“Just stay here and don’t go out!” Wang Yu told the two of them then went forward alone.
