Reign of the Hunters

Chapter 124: Man Proposes, God Disposes

How does the saying go? Speak of the devil...

As Ye Ci was contemplating on accepting Sir Ditty's invitation, she received a private message from a stranger. It was Night And Day. His tone was rather polite, "Gongzi You, perhaps you've had some misunderstanding with some of my guild members, but this is a fight between Tang Dynasty and Wolf Pack. You don't have to get involved, don't you think?"

His reasoning was actually sound. Although Ye Ci did have issues with Wandering Cloud and co., she had nothing against Night And Day. She did not wish to get involved in a feud between two major guilds either, especially in a situation when her actions would reflect upon Upwards Ho!. Compared to Wolf Pack and Tang Dynasty, Upwards Ho! was very very weak.

She was only here to open Hidden Treasure Bay. It was totally unnecessary for her to get involved.

Before she could give her response, a huge group of Tang Dynasty melee players began charging at her. She was taken aback. What the hell were they trying to do?

Night And Day could smell danger the moment Ye Ci spoke in the map channel. He creased his eyebrows, looking at Wandering Cloud who was not far away. He had a vibe that Gongzi You did not exactly have a "small misunderstanding" with Mu Qing and Glistening Snow. And with how well he knew Sir Ditty, the person would not let go of the opportunity of Ye Ci's appearance. He would definitely persuade her to join his side. That was the reason why Night And Day immediately sent a private message to Ye Ci.

Before he could get a response from Ye Ci, Lazy Blue shouted out in the guild channel, "Gongzi You, that bully! Follow me guys! Let's take this Huntress out! Do not allow her to join forces with Wolf Pack!"

If Gongzi You was the only one mentioned by Lazy Blue, not many would have followed him into battle. But he had associated her with Wolf Pack, and such an action provoked the players' animosity towards Ye Ci. A number of the melee players fighting at the front line had turned around and dashed towards Ye Ci along with Lazy Blue.

"No! Hold it right there!" shouted Night And Day, who noticed how bad the situation had turned. He could feel that Gongzi You was already on her way to leave the battlefield, but with his members attacking Gongzi You right at that moment, the situation would definitely take a turn for the worst.

Night And Day was 2 seconds too late. Within that 2 seconds, the melee players had already charged at Ye Ci.

"Hold still! Those who attack Gongzi You will have 500 DKP deducted!" Night And Day roared into the guild channel. He was, however, too late.

The dozens of melee players were already dead before he could even finish his sentence. Lazy Blue, was of course one of the casualties.

Ye Ci was never one to sit and wait for death. Although getting involved in the fight between Tang Dynasty and Wolf Pack was the last thing she wanted, it did not mean that she would just laugh it off when somebody was trying to attack her. Ye Ci summoned and mounted on Ol' Four, then commanded the beast to cast Tremor.

All enemy players within 30 yards of Ye Ci were Stunned, while some softer targets died almost instantly. Those who had tougher defenses were dispatched one by one with Ye Ci's crossbow.

After taking care of the opponents who were attacking her, Ye Ci accepted Sir Ditty's invitation and joined Wolf Pack's party.

"Well met, Gongzi You! I've heard a lot about you." Sir Ditty, who had given up hopes of trying to persuade Ye Ci into joining his side, was surprised when she joined the party.

"The pleasure is mine." Ye Ci chuckled. After dispatching the last player who was Stunned, Ye Ci headed straight towards Wolf Pack's party.

She was directly behind Tang Dynasty's position, which was the perfect position for a surprise attack. But even she would be in a pinch if she was surrounded. The situation was especially true when Tang Dynasty players began to slowly form up around her. Despite her higher than average level, and the fact that Ol' Four was an Epic tier monster, even an elephant could be killed by swarming hordes of ants. If Ye Ci engaged herself in a prolonged fight, she would be at a disadvantage. That was why Ye Ci headed straight towards the Wolf Pack's main force without a single ounce of hesitation.
