Li Yiming held onto his dagger tightly and sat hidden in a bush. 'Who would've thought that she's a streamer...' He then thought about his own bronze rank embarra.s.singly.
In the end, the teams were split so that Yu Runkai and Fang Shui'er went out together, and Shao Xian and Chen Quan formed the second team while Li Yiming was alone. Even though Li Yiming knew that Shao Xian was far more knowledgeable at the game than himself, he still did not dare to let her venture out alone, given that it was more than just a game.
Li Yiming observed from afar as the minions on his team clashed against those on the enemy team. The minions on the enemy team were all wooden dolls, but were armed with bows and swords. In addition, the defensive structure also looked slightly different.
Li Yiming looked at the giant stone statues on the opposite side of the river. 'Hmmm, the stones are red instead of blue… is that it?'
A lantern was suddenly placed in front of Li Yiming, causing his heart to skip a beat by its sudden appearance.
'Is that… a ward?'
"Have a taste of my staff!" Before Li Yiming could react, a golden staff suddenly emerged from the tall gra.s.s and struck Li Yiming in the forehead.
Li Yiming was nearly knocked out cold from the blow. He put his hands to his forehead and ran back to his defensive tower without looking back.
He looked at the monkey in the distance, who was swinging his staff with vigor. Of all the foes he thought he would face, the monkey was the last opponent he would have wanted to fight against.
'Adventure to the East, the knit bag… Wukong!' Li Yiming could not muster the courage to face the living legend who had helped him so many times, even if it was just a look-alike created by the domain.
Li Yiming gulped down a red potion to recover as he looked at the monkey who possessed a strange resemblance to Mr. Kong. He examined the golden armor, the purple crown, the boots rumored to be able to tread amongst clouds, and the golden-etched staff. 'This is not Mr. Kong, this is just a game…' He had to keep reminding himself of that fact.
Wukong looked at Li Yiming defiantly and smiled in derision. He then delivered a spinning blow which reduced one of the sailors of the Pandaria to dust. As he traveled through the line of minions, he made quick work of all of Li Yiming's allies as he led the charge ahead of a file of wooden dolls.
'Yiming, snap out of it! It's not Mr.Kong! Otherwise, the game would be over the moment he grazed you with his staff!' Bai Ze tried to pull Li Yiming back to his senses.
'You're right. He isn't Mr. Kong.' Li Yiming clenched his teeth and dashed forward with his sword. Although he could no longer use his lightning techniques, Li Yiming was still confident in his swordsmans.h.i.+p.
