The side roads in the city were eerily quiet.
Ye Luoxing and Man Ling had been separated for more than ten minutes. It was not the first time for her to travel through the city at this time, but it was the first time she encountered such a quiet situation as this time, where she did not encounter a single orc for several whole sections of the road.
She vaguely felt a creepy sensation behind her, as if something was following her.
Yue Shangdu already had some doubts: "Captain Ye, is the city too quiet tonight?"
Ye Luoxing didn't look back. Having confirmed her guess, she quickened her pace and said, "Scan for life forms around us."
Yueshang quickly scanned the surroundings. Ye Luoxing ran at full speed towards the main road in the city, and even locked onto a roof in front of him. He jumped up and planned to jump up to take a look. In just less than ten seconds, Yueshang had completed the scan of the surroundings. It found that there was only one living being in the area it could scan, and that living being was now rapidly approaching Ye Luoxing!
"Captain Ye, be careful!" Yue Shang suddenly reminded loudly. The life form had already come behind Ye Luoxing.
Ye Luoxing, who had just jumped high into the sky, felt a sharp wind coming from behind, carrying murderous intent, as if it was going to split her in half. She immediately turned over to avoid it, but the extremely fast figure missed and turned around and pounced on her. Ye Luoxing's body fell rapidly, and finally landed on the ground with the help of the wind. She rolled twice on the ground to relieve the force, while avoiding the huge black shadow that was chasing her.
"Does he want to kill you?" Yue Shang was shocked. The surroundings were filled with gloomy atmosphere, the moves were fierce, and the figure clearly showed no mercy.
Ye Luoxing dodged backwards repeatedly. After a brief head-on confrontation, she was sure that the orc in front of her was stronger than her. As far as she knew, there were only a few beasts above level seven in the city. In addition, by capturing his afterimage, Ye Luoxing was able to lock the range, or to be more precise, lock onto a certain orc.
"Swish--" The sharp claws tore Ye Luoxing's clothes and left a long bloody wound on her body. At the same time, Ye Luoxing was hit hard by the wing. Fortunately, she dodged quickly and avoided the attack with her head, but when the iron-like wings flapped on her shoulders, her shoulder blades seemed to be broken. This feeling was too familiar.
After a full half-day match, Ye Luoxing was already exhausted. In addition, the opponent was using his beast form to attack her. At this moment, she could only use all her strength to rely on the wind blowing from all directions to keep dodging his attacks. She had no ability to reverse the situation at all. The opponent's attack was fierce, and her cloak was torn in many places, but she still did not let the opponent achieve his goal.
She retreated towards the main road, speaking coldly, "Are the nobles avoiding the arena if they want to kill orcs?"
The orc in front swung his claws in the air again. After hearing her words, he stopped and distanced himself from her.
In the air, the peregrine falcon transformed into an orc and slowly descended. Seeing this, Ye Luoxing also stopped a few meters away.
The catkins landed steadily on the ground. He stared at the figure in front of him indifferently and said calmly: "I just want to invite you to visit the inner city."
"Hehe, your way of invitation is really unique." Ye Luoxing sneered. If she hadn't dodged quickly just now, she might have been dead. When he suddenly attacked her from behind, the wing was obviously swinging towards her head. Even if she didn't die, she would faint on the spot, and might even be given a concussion by his slap. In short, he was not friendly at all.
Feixu slowly walked towards her, and Ye Luoxing was wary of his every move.
At the same time, in a territory somewhere in the inner city.
Helig sat on a thickly padded wooden chair. She looked at Kochas standing tall, crossed her legs, and said playfully, "Feixu and the others aren't here. What did you leave them to do? Could it be that you were willing to kill that seventh-level male beast? If so, I'd be impressed. It's just a pity that I'll lose another high-level companion to choose from."
"You will indeed be missing a partner." From above, Kochas's faint voice came, his eyes slightly cold, and an inexplicable smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.
In the food chain of Midnight City, the eagle at the top controls everything, its golden eyes overlooking every corner. The cold wind carries the breath of the inner city to the outer city. In a completely enclosed area in the outer city, the orcs who are treated as prey in the center are surrounded by layers of siege.
Ye Luoxing just stopped with him, not because she wanted to stop, but because Yueshang had already scanned the surroundings and detected fast-moving life forms in circles. At this time, she stood in the middle of the branch road, watching orcs landing one after another on the surrounding branches. She still did not escape, because she knew that the outer sky was also blocked.
Feixu stopped three meters in front of her and said, "You've already seen it. If I wanted to kill you, you'd be dead."
Ye Luoxing laughed and said, "But you're not showing mercy. Have you always invited orcs like this?"
Yueshang has scanned the surrounding map. It pays attention to the movement of living beings around it, reports the situation outside that Ye Luoxing cannot see to her, and plans the best route for Ye Luoxing in its mind, ready to escape at any time.
Ahead, Feixu's cold face suddenly broke into a smile. He lowered his voice and said, "Kochas is right. It's too difficult to invite you into the inner city. Even if I suddenly attack and knock you out, you can dodge it. However, Kochas's plans never go wrong. You must come with us today, because you can't run away. It depends on whether you follow us voluntarily or we take action."
Feixu stretched her muscles. Ye Luoxing felt that they were really shameless and barbaric and felt so confident about "inviting her to be a guest".
Kochas? She should have known the moment she saw the Flying Catkins leader that the elder must have set his sights on her. Otherwise, how could they be so brazen as to even have the patrol come to block her way? Indeed, in Midnight City, she had almost no power to confront them.
but……
"What if both sides suffer losses?" Ye Luoxing pulled out the string from the bracelet. She didn't want to go with them. Currently, her recovery of strength was going smoothly. If her identity was exposed, things might not be so smooth. Besides, if they really had to fight, they would just fight. She had gone to the Overlord Tournament just to fight, and it was rare for her to meet so many opponents who tried their best.
However, Ye Luoxing probably didn't expect that Feixu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he added bloodthirstily: "If that's the case, then I might accidentally kill you during the fight."
Obviously, he already understood Ye Luoxing's purpose of playing in the Overlord Tournament, so he naturally would not be her opponent for free.
Feixu showed his sharp claws, which still had traces of Ye Luoxing's blood on them. It would be easy for him to take her life at this moment. If the beast on the opposite side wanted to resist with all its might, it had better be prepared to risk its life.
When he said this, Ye Luoxing's eyes also turned cold, and the next second, she flashed and rushed out.
She had originally rushed towards Feixu, and Feixu had already prepared for her response, but she hadn't expected her to pass him by half a meter away and rush straight behind her. The orcs there transformed to intercept her. Ye Luoxing retracted the string and leaped up with the wind. Behind her, Feixu sneered as she used a fake move to deceive him, muttering, "I told you, you can't run away."
