"Focus fire! Focus fire! Healer, look at me! I'm done for! I'm really done for!"
In the holographic world of "Jianghu Dream", Zi Xi frantically plucked the pipa in her arms, trying to heal her teammates whose health was critically low.
Heaven knows she had just woken up thinking she had transmigrated into some kind of fantasy world.
During the brief moment between being killed by the Boss, she received a plot summary.
But there was no time to think about it. Her guild, the Salted Fish Concentration Camp, was besieging the world boss, the Flaming Giant Ape. For her, the healer, the scene was extremely chaotic.
The boss has 15% health left, but most of his gang members have already fallen.
"Wait, why are you lying down too?"
"Forget it, forget it, let's just wipe them out, we'll do it next time... What the hell?!"
The leader's voice, wielding a great sword, screamed desperately in the team voice chat.
Suddenly, a black figure appeared on the battlefield like a ghost.
A swordsman dressed in black, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
His face was covered by a delicate silver-gray mask, obscuring the upper half and revealing only his sharply defined jawline and a pair of thin, expressionless lips.
He didn't even display a title, only a name that was shockingly simple: Lone Goose.
"It's Lone Goose, who's number one on the leaderboard!"
Someone in the team screamed.
"It really is him! What's he doing here?"
Gu Hong, ranked first in both the combat power ranking and the martial arts ranking, is the pinnacle of the swordsman profession and is known throughout the server as the "Mute Sword God".
It is said that he never teams up, never socializes, and never speaks on his microphone.
All those who tried to challenge him or strike up a conversation with him ended up being ignored, and occasionally given a free return-to-base service when they were in a bad mood.
Gu Hong didn't even glance at the roaring, chest-pounding giant ape boss, and casually swung his longsword, which gleamed with a cold, eerie blue light.
A sharp sword aura, like a crescent moon, burst forth, instantly tearing through the air and striking the giant ape's weak point—the back of its neck.
The deafening roar came to an abrupt halt.
The giant ape's massive body froze on the spot, the last bit of health bar above its head instantly emptied, and it crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust and countless shimmering items that fell to the ground.
The world is quiet.
From the moment it appeared to the instant kill of the boss, the entire process took less than three seconds.
The few remaining members of the salted fish concentration camp stood there dumbfounded, in a posture ready to die.
The instigator, however, acted as if he had merely stepped on an ant while passing by. He twirled his longsword, sheathed it swiftly, turned around, and seemed to intend to leave the chaotic battlefield immediately.
"Wait...wait a minute..."
A crisp sound broke the silence.
Zi Xi practically tumbled and crawled out from behind a boulder, nearly dropping the pipa she was holding due to the sudden movement.
"Master Gu Hong... that sword strike of yours was so cool! Was that the legendary hidden effect of 'no self, no sword'?"
"This damage...this accuracy...this posture...the boss is like a little brother in front of you, no, he should be called a grandson."
"Could I... sign my name?"
Zi Xi rushed forward and precisely blocked Gu Hong's path.
These words were not Zi Xi's own words, but rather the gang leader's way of bribing Zi Xi, who was closest to Gu Hong, to quickly block the big shot and express his endless admiration.
Zi Xi's game character is a little musician with her hair in two buns. She stands with her arms outstretched in front of the black-clad swordsman, her mouth chattering incessantly like a machine gun, and her lively ancient-style skirt sweeps across the scorched earth on the ground.
The lone goose stopped in its tracks.
He tilted his head slightly, his eyes, which revealed no emotion through the mask, falling on the short musician who had suddenly appeared.
But he didn't say anything, he just watched.
However, Zi Xi completely failed to receive the "keep away" signal, or perhaps she was simply unaware of its dangers after just transmigrating, and while she did receive it, she completely ignored it.
"Brother, are you just passing by?"
"Boss, you're cold on the outside but kind on the inside! You're a chivalrous person! You always help those in need! You're practically a modern-day Lei Feng!"
