"…"
"…"
Glancing at the pale white skies of this ruin that is shrouded by clouds and falling snow, Qing Ming Yang and Lin Yu Heng exchanged a look between themselves prior to nodding their heads.
As practitioners of the Ling Yuan family—who had been charged with observing this world, they have naturally chosen to take part in this excavation, to see what changes it may bring to the entirety of the Leng Bing Realm.
To avoid drawing attention to themselves, they aren't using their usual life bound treasures, but have instead swapped over to plain iron arms.
Taking out an iron sword with a blade that is as wide as a hand, Qing Ming Yang says—
"Let's go then, I'll race you pass the gate."
Taking out an iron spear, Lin Yu Heng throws his black sunglasses on, and replies—
"You're on."
As Lin Yu Heng charges forth first, Qing Ming Yang feels like the sunglasses had made the former look more domineering, and proceeds to throw his pair on as well—prior to giving chase.
...…
Outside of the ruins—
[Ahem.]
A woman clears her throat, as she speaks into the microphone, stating—
[Greetings to all viewers, my name is Lín Sōng (林松), and I shall be acting as your live commentator for this stream.]
Appearing in the corner of the ongoing livestream is a woman dressed in a black business suit with black hair and blue eyes.
Next to Lin Song is another woman, who is waving to the camera, to which, the former introduces the latter as—
[Beside me is the CEO of NPI, Lady Nian—who shall be acting as my co-commentator. I know that some of the viewers must be watching this livestream from their computers. If you have any questions or thoughts to share, please feel free to post them in the official chat box. Now then, let us get the boring details out of the way, shall we, Lady Nian?]
Lowering her hand, and clearing her throat as well, Nian Yao Yao says—
[Boring details wise, it's mainly about who are the sponsors of this event. All that the viewers need to know—is that it is co-sponsored by my company and the Long Yue family. First and foremost, there's a few ground rules that we should establish. One, killing is allowed in this event, if you're unable to handle blood and gore—change channels now. As for the main objective in the excavation of these ruins-]
Going on from there, Nian Yao Yao explains that the current objective is to get pass the city walls.
After that, the objective swaps over to the gathering of Spirit Extract leaves. For obvious gathering efficiency, it is recommended that all factions join together to break into the imperial palace—where the source of these leaves are located.
So far, the palace is a place where neither NPI nor the Moon Guards have managed to break into.
Beyond that, with how unpredictable the ruins are in nature—it is up to anyone's guess what may come up next.
And with how vague the details are, several viewers can't help but raise an eye.
However, considering how this is the first time that a ruins excavation has ever been livestreamed, and shown to the public, it shouldn't be too surprising to anyone—that details are left in such a disorganized manner.
[For the time being, that's all from me.]
Other than to settle her feud with her mother, another reason that Nian Yao Yao had chosen to host a livestream is because of the way this ruin is structured.
A competition over Spirit Extract leaves, to Nian Yao Yao, this seemed like a good form of public entertainment.
And she would be right—for there are currently a great number of viewers, who are glued to their screens, as they watch weapon spirits evade the exploding arrows, or get blasted into pieces.
...…
(Where is she? Where is that little bitch?)
With her jade daggers drawn, Qing Yue sweeps her gaze through the sea of bodies, as she dodges the incoming arrows, along with the explosions that they produced.
Ever since the female demon that she summoned got its horn cut off—Qing Yue has been feeling a constant sense of rage, which forces her to seek out the one who had performed the feat.
*Boom!!!* up ahead a crowd is blasted into the air, and as one of the bodies flies towards Qing Yue's direction—
"Tch."
She clicks her tongue, and mercilessly slashes with her daggers—splitting the incoming body into two portions, which branch off into two separate directions.
Within this chaotic situation, most of the weapon spirits wished to have an extra set of legs to allow for faster movement.
And thinking just that—
*Vrooooom!!!* riding a bike with Tian Cheng seated behind him, Long Hua rolls on the throttle—causing the engine to roar with vigor.
As for those who are in his way—
"Uh?!"
"Dammit!"
"That bastard!"
Long Hua couldn't care less, as he rams them aside—by using the modifications that were on the vehicle, to shroud it in a barrier.
Barely avoiding Long Hua, Shao Tianming shouts—
"Screw you, surnamed Long!"
Rather quickly, Long Hua and Tian Cheng make their way to the front of the pack, to which—
*…!!! …!!!* simultaneously, two arrows are fired in their direction, and towards their approach, Tian Cheng raises the revolver in her right hand, and—
*Bang!!! Bang!!!* with pinpoint accuracy, she fires off two shots—hitting the incoming arrows, causing them to explode.
