Lu Ming suddenly realized that when he was "spying" on Qin Churan at the mass grave last night, she must have noticed him with White Tiger.
Lu Ming replied, "After we parted last night, I logged off."
"What, he's missing?"
"Yes," Qin Churan was very anxious. "He went silent last night, and this morning he's nowhere to be found. He doesn't reply to messages either. I don't know where he went."
From last night's conversation with White Tiger, Lu Ming understood how much Qinglong, Xuanwu, White Tiger, and Rosefinch meant to Qin Churan.
So right now, this was a chance to show himself and win Qin Churan's favor!
Thus, Lu Ming asked in the [Tianxuan] team group, "Brothers, has anyone seen a level 50 Assassin with the ID White Tiger near Starlight City?"
It was indeed a large group with nearly twenty thousand members.
Asking in the group was more effective than searching online.
Soon, several fans who loved chatting in the group all day responded.
"Is it the one with the big national emblem?"
"Wow, I saw him too! A level 50 national server rank 98 Assassin in our little Starlight City! Terrifying!"
"Not long ago, I just returned to the city after an all-nighter and saw this person heading south."
Lu Ming took a screenshot of this information and sent it to Qin Churan.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Qin Churan received the message, logged in, and angrily tagged White Tiger in the [Ran Ran Little Princess] group: "How dare you not reply to messages, you better have a good reason! Or you're dead!"
Finally, White Tiger replied in the group, "Qinqin went missing last night. I've been looking for her all night. Just found out she was kidnapped. I have to rescue her."
[Rosefinch]: "Why didn't you tell us earlier? Do you consider us brothers?"
[Xuanwu]: "Report your location, we'll be there immediately!"
[White Tiger]: "No need, I can handle it alone."
[Orient Loong God]: "We just arrived in Jiang Province, and your girlfriend gets kidnapped. Don't you think it's too much of a coincidence?"
[Qin Churan]: "I also find this suspicious. Ah Hu, don't act rashly on your own. Wait for us to join you!"
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.
[White Tiger]: "If I wait, Qinqin will be in danger. I said I can handle it, you don't need to come."
After sending this message, White Tiger stopped speaking in the group.
When Qin Churan logged in, she found not only White Tiger missing but also Qinglong, Xuanwu, and Rosefinch had gone silent!
"Great! You all treat me like an outsider, huh!"
On the other side.
Qinglong, Xuanwu, and Rosefinch were heading south of Starlight City.
"According to what the bystanders saw, it should be this direction."
"Think about who we've offended recently. How could Ah Hu's girl get kidnapped?"
"Could it be Dragon Soul?"
They recalled the time they killed Dragon Soul Tian Ni and the group of Dragon Soul players, and couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
Because they knew Dragon Soul was no ordinary team.
They were ranked sixth on the Great Xia team national leaderboard, a top-tier team far above Tianxuan and God Slayer in strength and status!
"We always knew the Dragon Soul gang was tough to deal with, but we made sure to leave no survivors. How could Dragon Soul know it was us who killed their people?"
"Let's not worry about that now. If this is really a trap set by Dragon Soul, Ah Hu is in danger! We must find Ah Hu quickly!"
South of Starlight City.
In the wilderness, Lv50 Despair Fortress.
White Tiger arrived alone.
Entering the dark fortress, he saw a middle-aged warrior clad in gilded armor standing ahead.
The man had hidden his ID.
His skin was dark, eyes sharp, and face fierce.
At first glance, he looked like an escaped convict with dozens of lives on his hands.
The golden glow of his equipment made White Tiger's expression change.
"Damn! Gilded gear..."
Even as the 98th ranked Assassin in the Great Xia server, White Tiger only had a full set of golden gear.
The person before him was clearly extraordinary!
At the same time, the man held a gilded Guan Dao, pressing it against the neck of an Archer girl.
When White Tiger saw that the Archer girl was Qinqin, his heart skipped a beat!
"Ah Hu! Save me, Ah Hu!"
Qinqin cried out to White Tiger.
"Don't be afraid, Qinqin, I'm here!"
As soon as White Tiger finished speaking.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
From all directions, a large group of players with IDs prefixed by [Dragon Soul], all level 50 six-turn players, charged out!
"Take him down."
With the command from the warrior holding the Guan Dao, the surrounding Dragon Soul team players rushed at White Tiger!
Seeing Qinqin in danger, White Tiger's eyes filled with killing intent.
"Touch my wife, and you're dead!"
As he spoke, White Tiger brandished his golden dagger.
In the instant when the enemy Archer and Mage's ranged attacks were about to land, he vanished like a phantom.
Dodging all attacks, he moved like lightning through the crowd.
-55864! Critical hit!
-56398! Critical hit!
-27713!
-55992! Critical hit!
...
Amidst a series of agonized screams.
In an instant, several Dragon Soul players fell to the ground.
They were the elite of the Dragon Soul team.
But in front of the 98th ranked Assassin in the national server, they were no match!
Just as White Tiger was slaughtering his way through.
In a brief pause, he suddenly sensed a powerful force approaching from behind.
White Tiger instinctively turned around, only to see a gleaming large blade coming at him with earth-shattering force!
Unable to dodge, White Tiger raised his dagger to block.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, as an Assassin, White Tiger clearly couldn't withstand such a powerful attack, and he was knocked back several steps.
The blade struck the ground, sending a chilling light spreading from beneath White Tiger's feet.
White Tiger felt his speed significantly reduced.
This strike, dealing over 50,000 damage, caused White Tiger's health bar to drop drastically.
The hand holding the dagger trembled uncontrollably!
White Tiger looked up, staring intently at the warrior holding the Guan Dao.
Just one strike was enough for White Tiger to realize the vast difference in strength between himself and the opponent!
At first glance, White Tiger guessed the opponent was strong.
But he didn't expect him to be this strong!
Yet, seeing Qinqin in grave danger behind him.
Even when facing an unbeatable enemy, White Tiger didn't retreat an inch.
Clenching his teeth.
Whoosh!
His figure moved like a phantom, charging at the opponent.
Taking advantage of the opponent's sidestep to dodge an attack, White Tiger suddenly brushed past him, moving towards Qinqin!
Qinqin was his real target.
Slash, slash!
Two strikes took down two Dragon Soul warriors guarding Qinqin, and White Tiger grabbed Qinqin's wrist.
"Come with me!"
White Tiger was about to escape with Qinqin.
Qinqin suddenly broke free from his grasp.
Just as White Tiger turned around.
Thud!
An [Ice Arrow] shot from Qinqin's hand, piercing through White Tiger's chest.
A level 16 Archer's damage wasn't high, but the 0.7-second freeze control from the F-grade Ice Arrow was unavoidable.
Before White Tiger could break free from the freeze control, the surrounding Dragon Soul players swarmed in, cutting White Tiger down in an instant.
