The Raven That Passes By

Chapter 423 - 260: Annihilation Complete


Li Changzhou turned around, using the trees as cover, constantly weaving through them like a field mouse, unconsciously approaching the Earthlings before him.


Her companion's arrows flew by her side.


The Elder's parasitic giant tree swayed its branches, which, like spears, fiercely pierced the air.


Her limbs tensed, fully focused, she picked up a branch, placed it on the bowstring, and the branch automatically morphed into a sharp arrow, aiming at the Earthling not far away.


Right after, she took down the arrow, holding the bow in her left hand and the arrow in her right, twisting her waist and beginning to dance.


Loud music thundered, wood chips flew everywhere, a Thorny Beast lunging towards the Earthling rolled on the ground, its thorn whip lashing out at the similarly twisting bodies of the Forest People around it.


'Street Dance Girl' struggled to stand, supporting herself against a tree trunk, gasping for air, blood dripping down from her hair.


'Kneel Clan' knelt on the ground, darkness descended, shrouding these street-dancing Forest People, Forest Beasts, shrouding the forest.


'Kneel Clan' stood up, light descended, and all before him became emptily vast, the Forest People, Forest Beasts, the forest, forever lost in darkness.


Like someone anemic, he staggered forward, reaching out to support himself, but there was nothing left before him to rely on.


'Kneel Clan' fell forward straight, landing on a soft sand bed, 'Female Sand Artist' raised her hand, and sand flowed from the pouch at her waist towards the exhausted players.


The sand gathered everyone together.


"Moonlight!" the Female Sand Artist called to a female player in the team.


'Moonlight' looked up to the sky, borrowing a coat from the sun, and the players disappeared from the forest.


Soon, vines, trees, and wild beasts gathered, standing at the forest's edge looking at this clearing, a special communication noise sounded for a while, and then the forest and the clearing fell back into silence.


"How many died?" Street Dance Girl wiped the blood from her temple, her eyes filled with anticipation.


"No one died." Signal Light counted the numbers, "We're all still alive."


Street Dance Girl suddenly lost all her strength, lying spread-eagled in the moonlight-constructed special space, pulling up her 65 cm hoodie to reveal 35 cm mini shorts.


"Please, ladies and gentlemen," she said, "just two deaths, just two, I'm starting to hate the forest and really want to leave this damn place."


No one paid attention to her.


Ten days into the Full Moon event, springtime players had not suffered any casualties again, and although some got severely injured every day, everyone survived.


There were several reasons.


The eight who had died before did so partly because of a sudden enemy ambush; secondly, at that time, players had not gathered and there were only ten of them; thirdly, these eight were relatively weak.


Now, twenty-two players were gathered together, more vigilant, and after some time becoming more familiar, their coordination improved.


Through strong, enigmatic, and numerous Instincts and Skills, they had time and again thwarted the Forest People's ambushes and assassinations, surviving until now.

White smoke billowed from the ground, wrapping around Earth with a walking stick.


The call for Earth was shortened to save time, so messages could be communicated more rapidly in case of an emergency.


"What's the situation?" Female Sand Artist asked Earth.


The rest who were eating, restoring "Abilities", and treating injuries all looked over, this information was crucial.


"Twelve people died in autumn, 'Autumn' was taken."


In total, there were thirty-one people during autumn, previously 'Period,' 'Garden,' 'Diamond King Laowu' died; these days there had been no casualties until today, when twelve people died.


"With just a few of us, we can't seize 'Spring'." 'Female Harpist's' voice was beautiful, her tone calm, but it revealed a hint of despair.


Aside from the three people who had died, there were twenty-eight players vying for 'Autumn,' including the Special Warfare Bureau, yet still, twelve had died.


They were only twenty-two, how could they possibly snatch 'Spring'?


"Did anyone from the Special Warfare Bureau die?" Street Dance Girl asked.


"Yes, 'Holding onto Dreams,' 'Rice Cake,' 'Automatic Handgun'."


"Three...and the other nine people, who were they?"


"'I Sit at the Very Back of the Last Group in the Classroom,' 'Another Year's Void Champion,' 'He Who Kills Me Has No Chirp Chirp,' 'Machima's Dog,' 'Pocket Full of Candy,' 'Listen to Mom's Words,' 'Wish Comes True,' 'Once Dreamed of Traveling the World with a Sword,' 'Roe, when will you marry me?'."


Street Dance Girl sighed loudly and lay back down, blood pooling at the back of her head.


After a moment of silence, Earth timidly spoke up: "Hou Feng said they are regrouping, and once ready, they will come to spring."


Street Dance Girl sighed loudly again.


With a bit more courage, Earth was about to continue when 'Childhood Village' asked, "What about Li Changzhou and his team?"
