Chapter 61: The Blurry Figures
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Ling Yi peeked over the edge to look down, he just noticed that the rock wall under his feet had been frozen.
And on the frozen rock wall, there were a few human-shaped ice sculptures.
“What the…?”
He looked at the Ice Queen in surprise and said, “So you’ve frozen them, huh? I was wondering why no one came up.”
The Ice Queen tilted her head in confusion, her pure white pupils staring at him as she blinked.
She seemed to wonder what he was talking about.
Ling Yi was afraid she would misunderstand, so he quickly waved his hand and explained, “Oh, no, I didn’t want them to come up. You did well.”
Then the Ice Queen slowly turned her head back, looking far into the distance. Still no apparent emotions on her fair and delicate face.
However, there seemed to be a trace of joy in her pure white eyes.
Ling Yi could vaguely sense it, but he didn’t care. Instead, he turned around and looked at the scorching ground below.
He could see about a hundred people below through the faint cold mist.
They were in a circle, listening to the person in the middle.
Due to the cold fog and the distance, he couldn’t see the person’s appearance. He couldn’t even tell what color their hair was.
Judging from his body movements, it was probably a man.
“Oh? Are you trying to encourage everyone?”
Ling Yi didn’t know what they had gone through just now, but he could roughly take a guess.
It would not be easy for these players, who had not reached level 10 yet, to safely pass through the Red Orchard and the Burning Scorched Earth. Now that they manage to reach their destination, they must have made some kind of huge sacrifice.
Otherwise, they would have already used all sorts of methods to climb this ice rock. Why would they hold a meeting down there?
“Sh*t…”
He looked at the crowd below and suddenly frowned. But a smile was quick to replace its place, “Well… If they’re all gathered here, I can just pull out a random [Starfall] and wipe them out.”
After duplicating the Ice Queen’s magic attributes, his magic power had already exceeded more than three hundred times its original strength!
A [Starfall] that was ten times the size could be more than three hundred meters in diameter!
If he uses this skill on them, not only the people below will be in danger, but even he would be as well.
Besides, he had other ways to deal with them. The easiest way was to let the Ice Queen get rid of them.
With a combat power of a level 20 Boss, wouldn’t these low level newbies be easily annihilated?
Just as Ling Yi was thinking about all this, someone below seemed to have noticed his existence. They all looked over to him in surprise.
…
Most of the players were listening intently to whatever Kaize was saying, but some players also got bored. One of them lazily looked over the rocky walls, at the creepy frozen figures hanging by the walls, when he caught sight of something.
He didn’t even care about Kaize’s speech and immediately shouted to the crowd, “There’s someone there, there’s someone there! There, there! I see a figure by the edge!”
“I can’t see clearly! But there does seem to be a blurry figure! And there’s more than one. Another one beside them… And is the other guy flying?”
When the others looked in the direction he was pointing, they saw two blurry figures.
The moment they saw the figures, everyone became excited.
“Quick! Who has a long-range vision skill? Look at what’s behind that white fog!”
“The one flying looks like they have long hair. She might be a woman.”
“What about the one standing?”
“I’m not sure, it’s too fuzzy.”
Soon, a few players with long-range vision skills stood closer to the rocky walls.
“Everyone, don’t be nervous. Let’s see what’s behind the white mist.”
However…
After trying for half a minute, they all shook their heads helplessly.
” I… still can’t see them clearly. I can only see two balls of light with my [Far-Reaching Eye].”
“Yeah, same with me. They seem to have some kind of shield that can block our sight.”
“My [All-Seeing Eyes] can’t see them either.”
“My [Mind Sense] can’t penetrate through their defense either.”
“…”
Hearing the scouting players’ disappointing reports, the other players could only sighed.
“Aish… What do we do now? We can’t even see them,”
“We can’t just force our way up—No. You know what, let’s not talk about whether we can climb up or not. Coz, even if we can, we’ll be killed by them in seconds.”
“We came to find them to find out who they are. Now that we can’t see him, let alone meet him, there’s no point in staying here. Let’s just go back,”
They now know that this mysterious player was actually two people, most likely a man and a woman. And since they seemed to have the ability to prevent other people from prying, some people felt that it was enough information as it is.
They were planning to go back, but just as these people were about to leave, someone suddenly suggested, “If we can’t go up, why not… Why don’t we just talk to them from here? Maybe we can get some other information?”
When everyone heard of this suggestion, they thought it was a reasonable plan, so everybody quickly agreed.
As for who will be their representative to communicate with them?
No one was willing to give in to anyone else, but they all collectively agreed to let one of the higher-leveled ones do it.
Which was why, naturally, the level 5 Kaizer took on the role.
He took the megaphone from the other players, coughed twice, then raised the megaphone, pointed it towards the top of the rock wall, and said, “Can the people above hear me? Can you hear me?”
His voice was loud and clear.
Thanks to the megaphone, Kaizer’s voice was so loud that it could be heard five hundred meters away!
Everyone looked at the top of the rock wall with blank expressions, waiting for a response…..
Some people felt that it was stupid to ask if the other party had heard it when it was that loud, and they wondered if they should change their representatove. While others suddenly thought that the other side might not have any tools to reply to them with. So, even if they heard it, they might not be able to reply.
Meanwhile, on the top of the rock wall, Ling Yi had heard Kaizer’s voice.
When he first heard such a loud sound, it stunned him for a moment. But he quickly came back to his senses, and also decided to spend 6 gold coins to buy a Small Horn from the store.
[Small Horn (E)]: Adjustable Gear. When used, the user’s voice could be clearly heard within 100 meters of first gear; 300 meters on the second gear, 500 meters on the third gear. In addition, the sound produced can be changed into a neutral robotic voice.
Place above the Small Horn picture, was a d-grade Big Horn.
The transmission range was at least a thousand meters, but Ling Yi thinks the small one was enough for now.
There were other communication devices in the store, most of which were more expensive and high-end than the horns.
However, Ling Yi was a pragmatist and didn’t like anything fancy. The megaphone that was worth six gold coins was also quite down-to-earth.
In the past, he had never had the opportunity to come into contact with this thing. Now that he held it in his hand, he couldn’t help but have the thought of speaking with them.
He picked up the megaphone and said to the people below, “If you’re smart, you can leave on your own. I don’t want to reveal my identity to the outside world for the time being.”
The sound was very loud because this item was activated at the default third gear.
He needed to turn the yellow button counterclockwise to change it to the first gear.
After he finished talking, he immediately switched it to the first gear.
He didn’t have to wait long before he received an answer from below.
“It’s fine if you don’t want to reveal your identity, but you have to let us feel at ease. I think you owe the world an explanation.” The person with the loudspeaker said.
Hearing this, Ling Yi’s head was filled with question marks.
What explanation?
What explanation does he owe to the world?
