CHAPTER 879: CHAPTER 634: PLAYER, WIND

Moreover... I’m afraid among the silver-tier players, she’s quite formidable.

When the two looked at the elf girl, she also glanced toward them.

Her emerald-like eyes seemed to possess a penetrating force, and with just one glance, Ye Ye and the other felt as if they had been completely seen through, inside and out.

Unconsciously, they felt a sense of inexplicable unease and tension.

The next moment, they saw the player who seemed to be a Druid slightly move the magic wand in her hand.

With her movement, the gem at the wand’s tip radiated a gentle glow, and the two beginners, huddled together in fright from the poisonous worms and increasingly exhausted from the spreading toxin, felt a warm force envelop them.

Green specks of light appeared around them, continuously pouring into their bodies, and the fatigue both physically and mentally quickly dissipated...

Meanwhile, the injuries they had inflicted on themselves to stay awake began to heal rapidly, recovering completely...

Soon, the two felt their entire bodies filled with strength, all negative states entirely dissipated, their previously fearful mood now reassured and calm.

Of course, the Debuff under their avatars in their view also vanished completely.

Ye Ye and the other were momentarily overjoyed, but before they could thank her, the mysterious player in front of them spoke first:

"This is not a place your level should be entering."

Her voice was gentle, kind, yet carried an undeniable tone.

To the two rookies, it felt like being caught doing something wrong, facing a teacher’s criticism.

It was odd.

But at this moment, they did see a teacher’s shadow from her, and almost unconsciously lowered their heads, like students admitting their mistakes.

Of course, they soon snapped out of it, surprised by this sudden shift in their psychology.

"Um..., thank you for your help, senior...?"

Ye Ye stammered a bit, instinctively using an honorific.

Although... he also found using the term "senior" quite strange, at that moment it was the only address that came to mind.

Nai Nai on the other hand, gazed at the female elf who intervened with sparkling eyes.

Her gaze was full of adoration, much like a fan girl seeing her idol...

"So... amazing... so cool!"

The young man heard her softly exclaim.

Ye Ye: ...

He tugged at her sleeve, signaling with his eyes, and upon the reminder, Nai Nai realized and followed the young man’s lead, saying:

"Thank you, senior!"

Her voice was light, imbued with a hint of excitement.

Hearing their thanks, the mysterious female player smiled slightly.

In a gentle voice, she said:

"You’re welcome, it was just a small gesture."

Seeing her kind attitude, the two instantly felt much less restrained, and at the same time, the mysterious player seemed increasingly approachable.

Ye Ye hesitated for a moment, then curiously asked:

"Uh... senior, as you saw, I’m Ye Ye, she’s Nai Nai, you can just call me Yezi, may I ask... how should we address you?"

The mysterious player glanced at her and, with a gentle smile, softly uttered a word:

"Wind."

"You can just call me Wind."

Wind?

The two players froze for a moment.

For some reason, they felt as if they’ve heard this name before, yet couldn’t recall at the moment...

And at that moment, the player who called herself "Wind" spoke again:

"The Titan Ruins are not a place newcomers can explore. The monsters here are grotesquely scary, not something inexperienced new players can contend against, and it could easily leave a psychological shadow."

"Once you two are rested, head back the way you came. Only one Poisonous Worm King appears in each underground passage, and once it’s eliminated, there won’t be similarly powerful monsters around."

After speaking, she lightly tapped her magic wand again, and a faint glow flashed across the two young players...

Vaguely, Ye Ye felt something added to his body.

And when he looked up to the avatar at the top left of his view, he found an additional silver-blue icon at the bottom.

"I’ve given you a deterrent buff; monsters lower than silver tier will be deterred by your aura and flee in fear..."

"So, you two can safely return via the tunnel without worrying about monster attacks."

Wind softly explained.

Deterrent buff?

Directly affecting creatures below silver tier?

Ye Ye’s heart jumped upon hearing this.

Vaguely, he felt the player’s strength named Wind was even more profound and unpredictable.

Mind you, previously, two Black Iron full-level Druid and Mage players had applied buff on them, the effect not only fell short of this mysterious person’s, but also required continuous chanting...

Whereas this player named Wind, not only had an astonishing buff effect, there wasn’t even a chant, it was all silent cast!

No, not just this buff...

Ever since this player’s appearance, all the magic skills she used were silently cast!

Ye Ye, having watched numerous videos upon entering the game, had rudimentary knowledge about magic in the "Elf Kingdom," and what impressed him most was the difficulty of casting spells silently.

To know that, this was a high-end technique that many senior silver-tier videographers couldn’t perform!

And yet, she used it with such skill...

A pro!

This is definitely a true pro in the "Elf Kingdom"!

And she might even be a full-level master!

Ye Ye thought.

At this moment, he was filled with intense curiosity about the player before him.

Yet, although curious, there was something more pressing to address currently.

He and Nai Nai exchanged a glance, awkwardly touched his nose, and shyly said:

"Um... Senior Feng, we... we’re players who just entered the game today, following an old player’s team leading us..."

"We... don’t know the way back."

His voice grew quieter and more embarrassed.

Wind looked at him knowingly and nodded softly:

"I understand."

With that, a new dialog box suddenly appeared in the newbie players’ view, a map-sharing request.

Meanwhile, Wind’s voice came again:

"This is the map I’ve recorded, you can use it."

Ye Ye and Nai Nai were taken aback.

They hesitated for a moment, nodded lightly, gratefully accepting.

As they proceeded, the mini-map in their view instantly changed.

However, looking at the updated mini-map, both nearly instinctively widened their eyes.

No wonder.

It was incredibly comprehensive.

From where they stood, all the way to the surface, the route was clear and complete, markers were simple and understandable, and the area was quite expansive.

Furthermore, even the map above ground was clear and reliable, detailed and complete, extending all the way to the ruins’ exit...

What an amazing map!

Both thought simultaneously.

By then, the various avatars in the team members’ status display suddenly lit up one after another...

Ye Ye knew that several Black Iron players had revived.

Of course, their current location had already shifted from the Titan Ruins to the Chosen City in the core zone of the Elf Forest’s alternate space.

Ye Ye was invigorated, about to type in the team channel, when he first saw a message from the Elf Warrior:

"Huh? Yezi, you two are still in the ruins? Are you two still alive?"

Faced with the inquiry from Gale, Ye Ye typed back:

"Yes, Brother Gale, we’re still alive, saved by a player named Wind."

As soon as he replied, he saw a series of exclamation and question marks appear in the team channel:

"Whoa?!"

"What??"

"Wind?!"

"You met Boss Feng?!"
