Chapter 117 - The Unexpected Incident in the Sky
“Oh… ah…”
Zhang Mengmeng had just agreed when she suddenly flew onto the horse, startling her again.
“Ugh… following Skeleton Big Brother is really too scary.”
Quickly hugging Jiang Cheng’s bones, Zhang Mengmeng’s heart was still pounding.
“Did something big happen?”
Jiang Cheng galloped along the way, his blood-red spear swinging, slaying the wild monsters along the path.
“Um… this… a friend of mine passed away. I’m going to attend his funeral.”
“Funeral?” The spear swinging in Jiang Cheng’s hand suddenly stopped, his thoughts gradually freezing.
A funeral…
A big event in the online gaming world…
Jiang Cheng… suddenly understood a little.
…
The fierce winds stirred up by the galloping blew the flames in his eye sockets.
For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit heavy.
…
Zhang Mengmeng, who was hugging Jiang Cheng, seemed to sense something. She always felt that he seemed different…
Desolation, melancholy, loneliness?
Why was it that she only said one sentence and she gradually felt such emotions from Skeleton Big Brother?
The spear in his hand seemed to be swinging slower than before…
She even saw a Magic Pattern Spider jump onto his head, leaving a clump of spider silk on his head that fluttered in the wind, yet he didn’t bother with it.
In the past, with Skeleton Big Brother’s reaction speed, this was obviously impossible…
“Skeleton Big Brother, what’s wrong? Did I say something wrong…”
Zhang Mengmeng carefully helped Jiang Cheng clear the spider silk on his head while asking weakly.
Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng didn’t answer, seeming to be pondering something.
After a long time…
Jiang Cheng pierced a leaping Barb Cat with his spear and suddenly spoke,
“Were you two very close?”
“I…” Zhang Mengmeng froze for a moment.
“I… We weren’t very close. We could only be considered acquaintances. He didn’t know me, but I knew him.”
Sensing Jiang Cheng’s mood, Zhang Mengmeng was also a bit cautious when speaking.
“He was… a super big star in that field. Almost everyone knew him. I was just one of them.”
“You know, when he was sixteen, he won second place in the Sword Testing Tournament.”
“Later, he even defeated the especially famous Seven Oddities and Ten Masters at the time, winning the championship for three consecutive years. He was a legendary figure of that era.”
Speaking of her idol, Zhang Mengmeng’s pretty face was instantly a bit excited.
“Moreover, he also set many world records and created many, many divine techniques. Each one was an object of research for everyone.”
“Even the three disciples he took in all became especially famous figures. One became one of the current Twelve Gods, one became the leader of the Ten Villains, and another became a regular at the top of the Ladder Rankings, inheriting his records.”
“He’s the most amazing person I’ve ever seen in my life.”
Zhang Mengmeng raised her little fist and shouted excitedly, nearly falling off the horse.
Fortunately, she grabbed Jiang Cheng in time. Otherwise, falling off the horse would definitely turn her into a mess.
“Phew… that was close.” Zhang Mengmeng patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.
However, what puzzled her was that Skeleton Big Brother seemed to have stopped talking again?
Could it be that he was angry?
“Skeleton Big Brother, what’s wrong?”
*Poof!*
Piercing a Level 20 Barb Cat with his spear, the soul flames in Jiang Cheng’s eyes suddenly brightened.
After galloping and killing wild monsters for three hours, intentionally or not, his evolution points finally reached 4.01 million!
What was in the past had already passed. He couldn’t change anything.
Now, he could only continue to evolve.
“It’s nothing. We’ve arrived at Furywind City.”
Jiang Cheng looked at the majestic city ahead and spoke with a sigh.
And at this moment, a huge image suddenly appeared in the sky, locking everyone’s gazes on the heavens above.
