Absolute Death Game-Chapter 433 - 43 Brothers

"Ah~~!!!" Xiao Buli yelled in panic.

But to others, it sounded like an excited cheer. Jingci of Mystic Hollow Palace, looking at the person and the crane in the sky, said with some disdain, "Show-off, as if no one has ever ridden an Immortal Crane."

Fortunately, Xiao Buli had used Cloud Thunder Leap before. He had flown several times, both in the real world and in the game world, but the feeling of being in control was different from the feeling of entrusting his safety completely to someone else.

It’s just like some people have no problem cycling or even carrying a passenger on their bike, but they would absolutely refuse to be the passenger on someone else’s bike. Xiao Buli was experiencing that very thing—he could be seen in the sky constantly adjusting his posture while shouting incoherently, plucking feathers from the Immortal Crane out of pain as they squawked in response. As they veered off course and flew a good distance, only then did Buli slowly get a hold of his balance. It turned out that the crane maintained a level posture in the air, and one could actually sit steadily on its back. It was all because Buli had been tense from the start that he couldn’t find his balance right away.

Once he mastered the technique, Xiao Buli immediately felt the joy of riding and flying. When he used to fly on his own, the speed was so fast that he couldn’t appreciate the scenery around him. But now, carried leisurely by the Immortal Crane, he had the mood to closely observe the beauty of the clouds. He had taken flights in airplanes before, but this open-air experience was truly unique. Enjoying the scenery, Buli headed toward Blackwind Stronghold.

After flying for about an hour and the initial excitement passing, the process began to bore him. Xiao Buli stared intently at the objects on the ground until he finally saw a familiar shadow. With a thought, the Immortal Crane dipped its head and dove down.

Before the crane even securely landed, Xiao Buli had already leapt off. It wasn’t because he was too excited, but because the crane had stood back up while landing, making it difficult for Buli to keep his balance again.

After jumping off, Xiao Buli sealed the crane away and casually walked up to the peak.

Xiao Buli returned to Blackwind Stronghold and ambled toward the summit. Under the management of his brothers, the stronghold was thriving even more. Occasionally, he saw groups of players passing by, and there were noticeably more guards than when Buli had left. Some of them had even leveled up, suggesting they had made a decent amount of money in the meantime.

It wasn’t long before Gu Shaobang and the others got the news and rushed over in a flurry.

"Boss, why did it take you so long to come back?"

"Boss, where have you been all this time?"

"That’s some nice gear you’re wearing, looks high-class."

The crowd chattered as they welcomed Xiao Buli into the Hall of Righteousness. Although he hadn’t managed it personally, Buli naturally took the seat of honor as everyone sat down, waiting for him to speak.

"You’ve all worked hard recently," Xiao Buli said.

"Eh? Boss, you can talk?"

"Boss, how come you can speak out loud?"

Questions like these popped up over everyone’s heads, causing Buli to feel a bit of a headache.

"It’s a long story, but I’m not playing the game on the computer right now. I’m using one of those helmets that lets your consciousness enter the game," Buli explained patiently to his brothers, unlike the runaround he gave Yi Xuan.

"That’s awesome!"

Buli thought to himself that if they knew how wretched he had been earlier, they wouldn’t think he was so great. "Let’s not discuss that for now. What’s been happening in Nine Dragons City recently? Any news?" Buli had been hanging around Mystic Hollow Palace and the Immortal Realm, so naturally, he had no idea of the situation here.

"News? Nothing much," replied the carefree Gu Shaobang.

"How could there not be? Nine Dragons City has been building up its strength all this time. Moreover, their army has reached an unprecedented size, with a regular army from who-knows-where joining their ranks. Also, there’s news that even the Demon Clan has started to pledge allegiance to Nine Dragons City. Although the players and citizens are quite unhappy about it, luckily, the demons have been relatively well-behaved, so the original veteran players of Nine Dragons City haven’t left," Han Wenhuan provided a much more detailed account.

Xiao Buli nodded slightly. The thing he had been worried about hadn’t happened. When he aided Ancestral Dragon in establishing the Teleportation Portal, he knew Ancestral Dragon wouldn’t sit idly by. But integrating into the game? That really took him by surprise. Weren’t players entering the game supposed to be seen as invaders? Could it be that this theory was not valid?

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Buli’s mind. What if they were entering the game with the system’s permission? He suddenly remembered Huo Guangxiong, the general who should have been dead. If Ancestral Dragon was being controlled by a non-existent person, then the reasons for their actions became even more enigmatic.

"Boss, what’s wrong?"

"Oh, nothing," Buli didn’t share these thoughts, as the situation was already serious enough, and he didn’t want his brothers to worry about questions he didn’t have answers to. "I’ve come back to discuss something with you all. I’ve noticed something for a while now but didn’t mention it because things were unclear," Buli said with a very serious demeanor, completely different from the casual manner he had when inquiring about the situation in Nine Dragons City. "Has anyone here been feeling anything unusual lately?"
