"Watch me show you how to be cool, I'll take you to new heights!"
Then you'll drag me headfirst into the trash can, right...? Jiang Kehan thought, raising an eyebrow slightly.
You didn't mention a single word about Battle Royale, sister.
Jiang Kehan shrugged, assuming she had believed the other party's nonsense, and then looked at the other teams.
It was easy for her to find the top rock bands that An Meng had mentioned.
The most significant difference is the number of people.
Because of the witches' unique social philosophy, witches like Anmeng who rock out on their own are the mainstream, and rock music happens to be the most rebellious genre of music.
Therefore, many famous rock witches will take the initiative to get together and perform as a band.
Even if the band can't add to their success, a like-minded haven is precious enough in itself.
They are like family.
Although rock music has many unpleasant stereotypes, in reality, that's often how it is in their circle—people always express their love and hate very directly.
However, because of this, their emotions are even more intense, like scalding hot iron, burning the hand, yet making it hard to let go.
Just by looking at them, Jiang Kehan could feel the confidence and tacit understanding among these top rock bands.
The band of necromancers, with their pale skin and gentlest gazes, had laughter that, though slightly harsh like the grinding of bones, was so open and honest that it didn't evoke any disgust; one could even offer them a smile.
Not far away, stood the maverick band, the Silent Band, their gazes cold, as if they were out of place with the others.
But Jiang Kehan had actually heard of this band and even owned one of their albums.
Their rock style is the most frenzied and intense, like an unstoppable meteor, using themselves as sparks to bring unparalleled speed and pressure, as well as an emotion that strikes straight to the heart.
Straightforward, like a roar.
When Jiang Kehan stayed up late training, she liked to listen to their albums to stay awake. Every time, she could feel her blood getting hotter and hotter, and she couldn't help it.
So-called silence is merely a breather before an explosion—because when an explosion occurs, there is no room for delay or lingering.
"It seems our opponents are really formidable, both in terms of rock and roll and in terms of determination."
Jiang Kehan was somewhat moved, but An Meng in front of her just shrugged and said something completely unconcerned.
"They are who they are, and I'm no less remarkable."
"Kehan, the person in front of you is Anmeng, the most famous wandering rock musician in Pingjiang City!"
She spoke with considerable pride and waved confidently to the audience.
Then, Jiang Kehan heard deafening cheers, only slightly lower than those of the top rock bands, which was enough to be called first-class.
Yet, An Meng only needs one person, as if she is already enough on her own.
Before Jiang Kehan could even express her feelings, amidst the excitement, the host had already risen into the air amidst fireworks and black smoke. She was dressed in bright silver ancient-style armor, yet she was holding a modern electric guitar in her hand.
It makes people frown and cover their faces at her terrible sense of aesthetics.
But that was exactly the effect they wanted. The host gave a rather wicked smile, casually strumming the electric guitar and producing a long string of electronic sounds, along with drumbeats.
"(One percent) Another Qi (eight) Siqi is a well-known dance, and the guitar is also a percussion instrument."
The host smiled shamelessly, as if explaining why there was drumming.
"Shhh!!!"
The other witches didn't tolerate her either, booing loudly. It was obvious to everyone that the electric guitar in her hand was just a pretentious player. Not to mention drums, even piano and trumpet could produce similar sounds if they were pre-recorded.
"It's clear that everyone was quite satisfied with my joke."
The host chuckled awkwardly, then casually shoved the guitar back behind his back, trying to pretend nothing had happened.
But sensing that the atmosphere had already heated up, she didn't linger; her gaze became high and cold.
Jiang Kehan looked at the host with some surprise. The other party was also a great witch, although she didn't seem to be good at fighting.
"The jokes are over, and there's only one project left."
"Everyone, are you ready to escape?!"
"Bet your reputation on music, set the world ablaze, and watch others flee in the flames!"
"We will never stop, until the very moment we die, we will rock and roll to the very end!"
The host swept his finger around the room, gave a disdainful laugh to each of the rock 'n' roll witches participating in the battle royale, and then boldly spread his arms, looking down at everyone.
"So...aren't you going to your deaths, you cowards?"
Quiet, deathly quiet.
The once bustling Sky Music scene has now transformed into a true battlefield. The rock witches look at each other, and then stride towards the small world in unison.
They carried their instruments on their backs, knowing that death lay ahead, yet they refused to linger any longer.
Because... even death cannot restrain their freedom and rebellion!
Jiang Kehan followed behind An Meng, feeling her heart pounding, unable to contain herself.
Unlike fighting, if it were a battle, one's mind would only become more peaceful and focused.
But now, she just felt like she was about to burst into flames.
The real importance of rock-and-roll deathmatch is not the battle itself, but the release of emotions, enough to transform a cold and aloof beauty into a passionate and reckless man.
"Is this music, no, rock and roll?"
Jiang Kehan spoke to herself, but her smile remained.
"I think I still quite like rock music."
As she finished speaking, she and An Meng stepped into the small world, like ants falling off a cliff and being lifted by the wind, making a sound in the whooshing sound.
First came a low, mournful tone, like a soft sigh.
Then comes the unwavering determination to refuse to yield, the gradual steadiness to move forward, and the long-accumulated high spirits that rise up.
It wasn't a roar, but it carried the same immense power; the shout came from An Meng's mouth.
She played the song she had left behind, laughing as she spoke to Jiang Kehan, who was dancing opposite her.
"Kehan, how was my performance?"
Jiang Kehan stared blankly at the black dragon that had been summoned by An Meng's singing. The dragon rose from the earth, weaving through the crowd and the howling wind, and came to An Meng's back, bowing slightly.
“Great.” She said with a smile, letting out a wild and unladylike laugh.
"It's like walking through the past, leaving no room for regret!"
Chapter 459 Having found his own dock, he naturally wants to take a bite of his own fries.
The sky seemed to shatter, and the heart-stirring songs raged wildly, attracting ferocious dragons that blotted out the sky. Amidst their roars, they bowed down to their chosen bands.
The power of music, or rather rock and roll, is manifested at this moment, magnificent and... sharpening its armor.
Jiang Kehan and An Meng sat on the back of the black dragon, looking down at the mountains and rivers below, planning to choose a suitable place to land.
Although the witches were scattered when they entered the small world, this prevented the powerful band from taking out the other "mice" in one go, thus ensuring the chaos and entertainment of the battle royale.
But if they continue to drift in the vast sky, all that awaits them is the fate of being harassed by countless fans and crashing their plane.
After all, you can't find other bands to fill the space, but their fans can target you, and you end up helplessly becoming a sitting duck, getting your name thrown at you amidst laughter and cheers. Well, it's mainly the other fans who are laughing.
You should know that they came to participate in the battle royale to enjoy rock and roll while sharpening their knives, preparing for "intimate" contact with other rock witches, a pure birth.
His methods were extremely cruel, and his smile was unusually joyful. Apart from not being human, he was perfectly healthy in both body and mind.
Moreover, this little world is a one-time use.
It will gradually collapse, turning into fragmented fluorescence from the edges, turning the originally vast expanse, along with any creatures that did not have time to escape, into the purest nothingness.
Tranquil, yet terrifying.
Jiang Kehan and her friends had to choose a secluded corner and wait for their chance.
It's not easy to win over fans from top rock bands. First, you need to have a rock level that's about the same as theirs, or you need to have emotions in your music that resonate with the audience.
Neither is easy, but fortunately An Meng is quite confident about it. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to participate alone and become one of the rats.
The second requirement is, don't get instantly killed.
It is foolish to fight against hundreds or thousands of witches alone. Even if you ride a super-mobile dragon, you will only turn to ashes under the complex and ingenious spells.
If facing a dozen or so witches, Anmeng could still manage to find time to perform. After all, if she wanted to inspire others, she had to let rock music do the talking.
Therefore, even with Jiang Kehan's help, she didn't dare to act rashly.
The real opportunity for these mice, or rather, hunters, is when top rock bands clash.
Large-scale fan wars will divide the battlefield into several distinct areas, where the fighting will rage and clash.
In this way, the number of fans in a single area would not be enough to wipe out An Meng and the giant dragon in one round, giving her enough time to convince them with her own rock music.
"If you're here to win over fans, then what are the top rock bands here for?"
Jiang Kehan looked at An Meng with some confusion. From a rational point of view, she couldn't think of any reason why Battle Royale could attract the Silent Band to participate.
The opponent's reputation has almost reached the peak that Pingjiang City can support, and they don't need to rely on the competition to maintain it at all.
Moreover, they are not short of money. Their long-selling albums alone have made them extremely wealthy. What Battle Royale can give them is just what they already have, a negligible part of it.
"Of course, it's for happiness."
An Meng spoke up as if it were the most natural thing in the world. She rode the jet-black dragon into a natural cave and then gazed into the distance.
"Essentially, I'm here to compete for fans just for fun."
"The rock witch is actually very pure and straightforward."
"It's like a cult faction."
She turned around, her bright eyes sparkling with joy, as if she had gained a pair of unfettered wings, carrying the purest joy and soaring freely, regardless of whether there was a raging wind or a torrential rain outside.
"We: Liu Yiqi (2) are very stupid, so we don't want to care too much."
"There's always this witch who says the truth of the world is going to the docks to get some fries, well..."
"I've arrived at my destination, so naturally I'm going to take a bite of my own fries."
Even if it's worthless in your eyes.
