At this moment, Jiang Ye had retreated to the edge of the cliff, and not far to her left was a waterfall with a deafening roar.
If she had taken just one more step back, she would have fallen off the cliff and been smashed to pieces.
She glanced back casually and continued, "They treat every need of Jiang Yu as gospel, even finding her unreasonable demands adorable, which is disgusting. But no matter what achievements I make, they ignore them. I study hard, get first place, and eagerly anticipate a word of praise, but they just give me a cursory glance and turn around to care about Jiang Yu."
"Ha, the family's resources are always prioritized for Jiang Yu, and I can only pick up what he leaves behind, and I still have to be grateful."
"Later, I gladly accepted all of this and began to strive for everything that could give me a sense of accomplishment. Only by standing at the top and becoming the only number one will I receive attention from others, and only then will others care about me, respect me, and even fear me, right?"
After hearing Jiang Ye's words, Yu Xiangnan was stunned, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Why did Jiang Ye tell her all this?
However, if this is indeed the case, then Jiang Ye would have every reason to hate Jiang Yu and even kill him with his own hands.
Sighs were almost unheard of.
Yu Xiangnan said, "I believe that people are not machines. They cannot be born with all skills and talents immediately. It is impossible to be number one in everything. There is no one in the world who can do that."
"However, I don't agree with your view on the word 'first.' Even if you're not the best in a broader context, if you've made a leap compared to your past self, that's still a kind of 'first.' I don't actually like the feeling of being fawned over by thousands of people. As you said, they can lift you up, but they can also pull you down."
Jiang Ye's family background shaped her somewhat distorted personality, pushing her to the extreme without realizing it, and also giving her an overly strong competitive spirit...
However, she doesn't intend to be the one who empathizes with others and kindly helps and guides them.
She is a selfish person by nature; if she weren't selfish, she wouldn't be able to survive in this game.
Upon hearing Yu Xiangnan's words, Jiang Ye's expression changed slightly, becoming increasingly complex. Various emotions flickered between her brows and eyes, but she quickly concealed them.
Jiang Ye said, "So, we're not the same kind of people. If everyone is number one, then there's no need for game leaderboards."
Yu Xiangnan smiled: "What you said is not wrong... However, let's end this small talk here."
Just as the shovel whistled through the air, Jiang Ye didn't hesitate for a moment and resolutely took a step back.
In an instant, her body lost its support and plummeted towards the bottom of the cliff.
Yu Xiangnan's pupils contracted sharply in an instant, her consciousness momentarily confused and sluggish. By the time she realized what Jiang Ye was about to do, it was already too late.
In the blink of an eye, the surrounding scenery had changed abruptly.
Yu Xiangnan felt dizzy and the world was spinning before his eyes. The fierce wind howled past his ears like a sharp whistle, and his body was crashing rapidly to the ground.
Damn it, Jiang Ye actually used the position-switching technique at this crucial moment?!
In the nick of time, she used all her strength to insert the small, broken shovel into the mountainside beside her. Using the brief resistance, she changed the direction of her body and flew towards the waterfall!
Yu Xiangnan's body was swept away by the cascading waterfall and plunged into the bottomless pool below, stained crimson with blood rain.
"thump--"
The water in the pool was instantly smashed into huge splashes, rippling outwards, before quickly engulfing her in the deathly darkness.
[Note]: The skill [The End of Life] is active.
Yu Xiangnan struggled in the pool, her limbs flailing about, and finally managed to surface before the feeling of suffocation completely overwhelmed her.
She took deep breaths of air, and after confirming that there was no danger around, she quickly swam to the edge of the pool.
"Cough, cough cough cough..."
She lay on the edge of the pool, supporting herself with her hands, coughing up water a few times. After a while, she finally had the strength to stand up. Her wet hair clung to her forehead, and water droplets slid down her cheeks, making her look quite disheveled.
After recovering, Yu Xiangnan looked up and, after confirming that Jiang Ye was nowhere to be seen, quickly checked the six zombies that had been controlled by [Resurrection Song].
The three zombies that had been surrounding Jiang Ye with her had lost contact with her and were likely in dire straits, probably already eliminated by Jiang Ye. The mutated zombie, fiercely battling the lion, though severely wounded, was still managing to maintain a sliver of contact.
In addition, the two zombies that fought with the hedgehog are still alive.
Perhaps we can find Jiang Ye's whereabouts again through that lion and that hedgehog...
Yu Xiangnan wrung out the water from his clothes and then quickly headed towards where the lion and hedgehog were.
Fortunately, Jiang Ye did not leave and was dealing with that special zombie.
The "Profession Manual" clearly states that the [Beastmaster] possesses a unique ability: the ability to summon various animals at any time to aid them in battle. These summoned animals share similarities with the little blue creatures hatched from pet eggs, but subtle differences exist. Crucially, the player will bear X% of the damage taken by the summoned animal (the exact percentage depends on the skill acquired).
Furthermore, once an animal appears after being summoned, it cannot be immediately recalled.
A considerable amount of time has likely passed since the lion was summoned, and Jiang Ye may well have retrieved it. However, the hedgehog was only summoned recently.
Therefore, Jiang Ye will most likely go back and deal with the mutated zombie and the two ordinary zombies.
Within a short time, the extra skills [Resurrection], the infinite health regeneration buff, and [The End of Life] that he had previously plundered took effect simultaneously, restoring most of his health. In addition, the [Funeral Officer] profession does not consume much energy, so Yu Xiangnan was basically back to normal. Relying on the connection with the corpse, he sped up his journey back.
Sure enough, I saw ginger leaves!
Jiang Ye wielded her long whip, swiftly and ruthlessly eliminating the extremely difficult mutated zombie. Just as she turned around, she was surprised to see that Yu Xiangnan had already returned. A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She immediately gave the order, and the lion and hedgehog attacked the remaining two ordinary zombies, quickly taking them down.
In the blink of an eye, the lion and the hedgehog, one on each side, together with Jiang Ye, formed a triangle around Yu Xiangnan.
Jiang Ye's gaze was sharp, and she spoke with a hint of provocation: "Your zombie army is truly pathetic. What other tricks do you have up your sleeve?"
Yu Xiangnan let out a cold laugh, "Don't be too smug. If I'm not mistaken, your life points are probably not much left, right? And those two animals beside you, they're probably not in much better shape either."
Actually, besides "Resurrection", she has another trump card she hasn't used yet.
A trump card that could turn the tide.
