With the help from the attributes of his level 4 ‘Eight Step Chasing Toad’, his speed was indeed faster than Bury Moon. However, that was if he wasn’t carrying anything. Now, he had one person on his shoulder so his speed was obviously slower. The depletion of his internal energy was faster too.

Under such circumstances, it was already hard for him to protect himself, much less getting rid of his opponent!

It wasn’t long before Bury Moon was less than three meters behind them. At this moment, Yin Bukui showed how useful he was. He was being carried by Ye Weiming but he was facing the back so he saw Bury Moon chasing after them. When he saw Bury Moon coming closer, he raised his sword and stabbed at his eyes. This move was only useful when both parties maintained the same speed. Bury Moon just had to slow down slightly and Yin Bukui would miss. But, because of this, Yin Bukui managed to slow Bury Moon down.

At the same time, Ye Weiming coincidentally passed by a group of NPCs from the Seasand Clan who were fighting the players. He started calculating with his left hand and immediately managed to attract the hatred from the people of the Seasand Clan.

The people of the Seasand Clan felt the threat and turned around to sprinkle the poisonous salt. However, they were too late by half a second so it didn’t affect Ye Weiming at all. Instead, Bury Moon, who was following closely behind, almost got hit in the face by the salt.

Bury Moon quickly turned his body to dodge the poisonous salt. This movement attracted the hatred from the disciple of the Giant Whale Clan who was on the other side. The latter waved his steel fork and using the familiar poop needle, he almost caused this mysterious kung fu master to get hurt in that part of his body.

Bury Moon raised his leg and kicked the disciple from the Giant Whale Clan away. The distance between Ye Weiming and him increased again.

Thus, just like this, Bury Moon chased and Ye Weiming ran…

Fortunately, Mount Wangpan was filled with crazy NPCs and players who were killing the monsters. The entire place was in a mess. The messier it was, the harder a long term pursuit was.

Around ten minutes later, Ye Weiming finally managed to shake Bury Moon off. He hid behind the tent where Yin Susu invited them in.

He placed Yin Bukui down and peeked out from behind the tent. He noticed that Bury Moon was still walking among the crowd looking for them. He heaved a sigh of relief.

Yin Bukui’s voice appeared behind him. “Why did that player attack you? Why do you have to bring me along when you’re running away? I’m not that person’s match so I’m afraid I can’t be of much help.”

“His motive is to kill us so that we’ll drop our scriptures!”

Yin Bukui immediately remembered the words Xie Xun said after he handed the scriptures over to them. Their mission hadn’t ended yet. Before they returned to their clan safely and handed over their mission, the scriptures would 100% drop if they died.

After understanding the crux of the issue, Yin Bukui was flabbergasted. “Do you mean that everyone knows we have a scripture that will drop at any moment?”

“Not everyone. However, that fellow is an exception.” Ye Weiming explained, “Before this, Xie Xun said that those players who followed the Seasand Clan, Giant Whale Clan, and Divine Fist Sect over won’t have any rewards. Thus, there was no need for him to remind these players if they passed Xie Xun’s challenge. But, besides the three clans that I mentioned, don’t forget that there is another clan that has some relationship with Xie Xun among the various factions present on this island.”

“The Flying Eagle Cult!”

Ye Weiming nodded lightly. “At the Flying Eagle Cult, I had a fight with a player from the Flying Eagle Cult. The person’s skills were amazing and he was using the Eagle Claw at that time. From the looks of it, that person was Bury Moon.”

Yin Bukui: “How do you know that he’s a player and not an NPC?”

In ‘Eternal Justice’, it was still quite easy for a player to hide his identity. Unless he chose to expose it voluntarily, his name wouldn’t be shown above his head. Even in a PK, the system would only tell you that you got attacked by someone. It wouldn’t tell you who that person was.

Normal NPCs in the storyline looked exactly like a player, unless they were supposed to be monsters or bosses. The official explanation was that this was to make the game more realistic. But to Ye Weiming, he felt that this was to make their lives more difficult.

The explanation he had for Ye Weiming’s question was, “Actually, there’s still a difference between players and NPCs. It’s just like the difference between people in the modern world and ancient world. It isn’t just about the clothes. I knew that the person was a player because when I said ‘I bought a watch last year’ he replied with ‘What watch’.”

He hesitated for a while before continuing, “Why don’t you lend me your sword? I will go and kill that fellow. If you’re worried, I can pay a deposit.”

Since Bury Moon knew that they would definitely drop something after they died, did that mean that he would also drop something when he died.

For instance, the Green Bamboo Sword?

This sword was probably given to him during Xie Xun’s challenge. Ye Weiming couldn’t think of another reason why the other party would bring a high-class item that he couldn’t use along with him for such a dangerous mission.

Now that he lacked a weapon, if the Green Bamboo Sword really dropped, that would be perfect!

“It isn’t about the deposit. I really can’t lend you.” Yin Bukui gave a bitter smile and rejected Ye Weiming’s request to borrow the sword. He also sent an item link over.

Pine Vein Sword: The sword used by Wudang disciples. Attack +50, Internal energy increases by 10%. No transaction of any kind!

Fine. Ye Weiming felt helpless in such a situation.

“Flap, flap, flap…”

As they were speaking, a pigeon suddenly landed on Ye Weiming’s shoulder.

Yin Bukui asked, “Who’s looking for you?”

Ye Weiming sent him a screenshot. “Bury Moon: 1”

Yin Bukui was confused. “What does the ‘1’ mean?”

Ye Weiming replied to him by carrying him on his shoulder once again and running off without any hesitation. By this time, Bury Moon had already appeared some distance behind them.

A pigeon mail cost 1 Silver. At first, this was just a convenient way to let friends communicate with each other. However, to make everything realistic, after the pigeon mail was sent, the pigeon would fly for a certain distance before disappearing. Then it would appear some distance away from the receiver before landing on the receiver’s shoulder.

This setting allowed the two parties to understand which direction their friends were at. But, sometimes, it would have unexpected results. For instance, Ye Weiming discovered Strained Noodles Steamed Bun’s ambush using the pigeon mail. Another instance would be the current situation.

Ye Weiming put Bury Moon on his blacklist along the way and the two of them started playing cat and mouse once again. The number of monsters on the island was decreasing because all the players were killing them. These monsters couldn’t refresh. Thus, they used double the amount of time to shake their chaser off this time. It took them almost half an hour. Ye Weiming’s internal energy had been entirely depleted because of this chase.

They hid in a secluded spot and Ye Weiming swallowed a pill to replenish his internal energy. Then he started meditating. Yin Bukui was in charge of observing the surroundings.

After close to ten minutes, Yin Bukui said happily, “They refreshed the dock. There are boats there now!”

Ye Weiming: “Let’s wait for a while.”

Another three minutes passed. Yin Bukui: “The other players have already left.”

“Let’s wait for a few more minutes.”

Another three minutes had passed. Yin Bukui: “There’s really no one.”

“Okay. I will go out to check the situation. Once there’s no danger, I will call you.”

“You’re really careful. We’ll do as you say.”

Ye Weiming silently walked out of their hiding place. He sneaked around before walking towards the dock. Just as he was about to smile and greet the boatman that just got refreshed, he felt a gust of wind behind him.

There’s really an ambush!

Ye Weiming was well-prepared. He immediately lowered his body and evaded the claw aiming at the back of his neck. Then he raised his legs and ran away.

When I was carrying someone, I couldn’t lose you. Do you still think that I can’t lose you now?

He ran for a short distance and suddenly noticed a fat player wearing the Mount Hua Sect uniform walking out from a hidden part of the hill. Then the player set up a stall on the ground with the title:

Steel sword, 1 Gold 50 Silver. Hurry up and buy it if you want!
