Chapter 196 Doubts
In the former Holy City, today's Aifilan Ruins, in its core area, a team of more than thirty professionals and players are moving forward cautiously.
"According to the crystal in my hand, we are very close to the holy object we need to recover. It is in the ruins of the church in front."
At this time, the team's default leader Sandra looked at Omniscient Crystal in her hand and reported the situation to the surrounding team members as usual.
"Finally we're here! After completing this mission, I must go to Frost Harbor to have a good rest!"
When a senior NPC professional saw what she said, he immediately cheered up, because they had fought many monsters along the way and had spent a lot of money on all aspects, and now they finally saw the hope of success.
"Yes! After this mission is completed, I will go back to my hometown and tell the people in the tavern about this Aifilan adventure."
Another NPC immediately agreed after hearing what he said, with a bit of excitement flashing in his eyes.
But Sandra, who was holding Omniscient Crystal, raised her hand at this time to signal everyone not to continue the discussion. She said, "The crystal shows that there are many powerful monsters hidden in the church in front. Everyone should rest here for a while before going there. The next battle will be quite difficult, so please be prepared for a hard fight."
She stared at the dilapidated church in the distance ahead, several streets away from her current location, with a somewhat stern look on her face.
"What kind of monsters are there specifically? There won't be any as strong as the previous Hell Dragon, right?"
When some players heard this, they immediately asked.
"No."
Sandra answered immediately after hearing it.
"At least the crystal shows that there are no traces of monsters of that level around here, but there are ones one level weaker than Hell Dragon, and there are more than one."
She then added in a serious tone.
"It's better if it's weaker than Hell Dragon. We should be able to solve it."
A player then echoed. They had fought carefully all the way here. They had seen a lot of various monsters, and they knew very well how strong the Hell Dragon that suddenly appeared before was compared to other monsters. The reason they couldn't deal with Hell Dragon was not that they were too weak, but that Hell Dragon was too powerful.
"Then Hell Dragon is so big and has such a strong aura. If it appears, we will definitely not be able to detect it. Moreover, the church in front cannot contain that kind of monster. There is no need to worry about this at all."
Some players also infer from other aspects that there will no longer be Hell Dragon-level terrifying enemies in this area.
While everyone was resting and talking, Wang Zhifan did not get involved. He was currently quietly checking a new ring on his hand in a corner. If any player could come into contact with this ring at this time, they would be surprised to find that it is an item belonging to Excellent Tier! "The attributes of this Hell Demon Dragon Ring are indeed good, but unfortunately it is not very suitable for me at the moment. I have not mastered the fire power at all. On the contrary, I am good at the opposite ice power... It basically does not have much effect on me. Maybe I can wear it when I really need flames."
As Wang Zhifan is currently thinking, in fact, the ring he is thinking about now is one of the rewards he got for killing Hell Demon Dragon before, and he has also put the other reward into his portable space, but because the thing was too big and conspicuous, he did not take it out to check.
As for when he got these two rewards, it had actually been a while. To be specific, it was shortly after everyone left the place where Hell Dragon was killed a few hours ago. In order to prevent others from being suspicious, especially Andre, who had always been curious about him, he replaced himself with a Dream Self clone when he passed a certain shelter. At the same time, he activated Ghost Shadow Shoes's ability to burrow into the ground unknowingly ran back to the previous location of Hell Dragon, and then quickly completed the selection and collection of rewards, eliminating the reward light screen that had been hanging in front of him, and then used the same method to return at high speed, replacing the clone of Dream Self that had appeared in front of everyone in his place during the process. The speed was so fast and the skills were so high that the surrounding NPCs and players did not notice that he had left midway.
Putting the taken out Hell Demon Dragon Ring back into the portable space and putting it away, Wang Zhifan then raised his head and looked at the end point of the mission, which was the dilapidated church only a few hundred meters away from where everyone was currently resting. According to the leading female Warrior Sandra, the so-called holy object was inside.
But what makes Wang Zhifan feel strange at this moment is that even if he probes with the powerful perception brought by his extraordinary spiritual attributes, he can't feel the presence of any holy objects there. On the contrary, the aura of darkness and evil is very strong.
"This is already the central area of Aifilan. All kinds of monsters are densely packed. It's not abnormal for the dark and evil aura to be strong, but that holy object is too stretched. Isn't it possible for its aura to penetrate the darkness and evil and reveal a little bit?"
This is a question that Wang Zhifan is currently confused about. He has some doubts about whether the so-called holy object that Omniscient Crystal led them to find is really a holy object. After all, something that can be called a holy object should not be too ordinary. Even if it is among the most evil monsters, it should be able to shine a little bit.
But doubts were doubts. Wang Zhifan did not run over to investigate in advance based on his confidence in his own strength. When he did not really understand the world, he decided to keep a low profile and act with others. In this way, even if something unexpected happened and he encountered a particularly terrifying and powerful enemy, he would not have to deal with it alone. At least there would be others who could delay him for a while.
In this way, about twenty minutes later, after everyone had rested and adjusted, they set out again, heading towards the final destination ahead.
Sandra showed the greatest caution during this process. Her eyes were fixed on Omniscient Crystal in her hand almost the whole time. She would notify the people around her of any slightest disturbance, and also asked the entire team to take a detour to the church along the safest route she determined.
It must be said that her efforts were quite effective. At least no one encountered any accidents when they arrived at the side of the church, and only less than a hundred ordinary monsters were cleared along the way.
But after arriving at the church, the real problem appeared before everyone's eyes.
They saw through the window of the church that there were four powerful monsters with two horns and two wings on their backs, guarding an altar in the center that exuded a terrifying dark atmosphere. There were many broken human bones scattered around the altar, and there was no trace of any holy objects at all.
