"Haha... How dare you sneak attack me? You are simply looking for death!"
After using his Epic Ice Source Power to kill the two sneak attackers behind him very covertly, Wang Zhifan suddenly complained with disdain in his heart. At the same time, he kept moving his hands, still waving the long knife and fighting the tall demon-shaped monster in front of him very "busily", as if the two gunmen players behind him suddenly fell to the ground and died suddenly and had nothing to do with him.
The other members of his team immediately noticed that something was wrong with the two of them. Some immediately took a few steps back and were alert to the surroundings, fearing that there was some invisible attack targeting them. Others, such as Andre, were more enthusiastic and quickly rushed over to see what was going on with the two of them. Others were relatively indifferent. While maintaining long-range attacks on the monsters in front, they glanced at the two people lying on the ground. When they found that they couldn't see anything, they continued to look elsewhere.
As for why Wang Zhifan was unscathed even after being shot twice in the head, the reason is actually very simple. The two bullets were easily deflected by the Bioforce Field caused by the mutation of Excellent Tier Ascender he owned.
With the super high stamina brought by his current strong physique, he can carry many rounds of sniper bombs and even howitzers, let alone ordinary bullets. Even if someone succeeds in catching him with a particularly powerful attack, there is also the whole body damage reduction brought by Formless Specter Garment or even Undying Specter Ring to back it up.
That's why he deliberately replaced Iron Mountain Sash, who provided good physical defense, because his current defense capabilities were somewhat excessive, and he couldn't use the physical damage reduction added by Iron Mountain Sash.
After a short period of time, everyone in the team found that there were no other abnormalities except for two team members who suddenly jumped into the street, so they returned to their original position to continue supporting Wang Zhifan who was entangled with the monster. After all, Wang Zhifan performed very reliably during this period. Even without two firepowers, the monster did not escape his control, ensuring the safety of the entire team.
However, in fact, what these people don't know is that Wang Zhifan has been acting during this period. He can almost kill the Hell Dragon he encountered a few hours ago. This kind of elite monster is no different from an ant in his eyes. He has been pretending to be entangled with this guy for so long, but he is just hiding his strength.
In this way, in this dilapidated church located in the center of Holy City Aifilan Ruins, more than 30 NPC professionals and players fought hard, and it didn't take long to eliminate the four elite monsters inside one after another. Among them, Wang Zhifan's team was the first to complete its own task. After completing the task, it went to support other teams.
The main reason why they went so smoothly was actually that Wang Zhifan became impatient in the end. When he felt that it was almost done, he gave the elite monster in front of him a little more strength, so that it could no longer maintain a 50-50 situation with him and quickly rushed to the street.
"Not bad, not bad! We have released two pieces of Fine Tier equipment. If anyone wants it, please bring it out in exchange!"
"You exploded two pieces of Fine Tier? What a blessing. We only have one piece of normal-level junk and some gold coins."
"We have a Fine Tier explosion here."
"Haha, we are still the worst, and we didn't even explode the ordinary-level garbage! It's so unlucky!"
After the battle, the players of the four teams began to exchange their respective results. The results were naturally relatively ordinary. There was no Rare Tier equipment like when they played Hell Dragon a few hours ago. Only three Rare Tier equipment appeared in total.
Especially Wang Zhifan's team. Due to his special features, all the rewards for his team were cut off by him. He didn't choose the rewards at all, so the team members could only find out in silence that nothing exploded, and they were so angry that they almost died.
"Forget it didn't explode, but two people died inexplicably. Who do you think you can talk to for explanation?"
"Yes, these two died so suddenly. It's so pitiful... Let's take care of them!"
"Yes, yes! It's important for people to die. We can't let their inheritance go without any heirs. We must let them go without worries!"
Several players in Wang Zhifan's team then focused on the two dead teammates who fell on the ground and began to search and loot them. After a while, the firearms and other equipment used by the two corpses were completely separated.
They didn't even forget to give Wang Zhifan a share in the process, but Wang Zhifan refused directly on the grounds that he didn't need to use dead people's things, because he had long seen that the two people didn't have any good equipment, at most Fine Tier. He had so many such things in his carry-on space that he had no interest in taking a second look.
"My brother, I can't believe that you can't even look down on high-quality equipment. Coupled with the superb combat skills you just showed, I believe more and more that you are from the noble Warrior family."
After the red-haired mage Andre received some equipment from the two players, he came over to talk to Wang Zhifan.
"Well... why did those two people suddenly die just now? Have you figured it out?"
Wang Zhifan seemed not very interested in equipment or anything, so he suddenly asked him about this aspect.
"No one knows why... maybe they have some serious disease in their bodies? But it is too coincidental that two people fell ill at the same time."
Andre couldn't figure out the cause of death of the two players, so he only made a very poor guess.
"Okay... I'll go see if I can find the holy object."
Seeing the very calm demeanor of Andre in front of him, with no sign of guilt at all, Wang Zhifan, who was secretly observing him, put aside the thought in his heart that was related to someone's life and death, and turned around and walked towards the central altar.
As he walked, he continued to ponder the list of rewards hanging in front of him, preparing to find a suitable time to select this reward and take it away.
[Please choose your own rewards (you can choose up to 2 items)]
[Normal level (50% probability of dropping):]
[...]
[Fine Tier (49% probability of dropping):]
[...]
[Rare Tier (1% probability of dropping):]
[Demon-Summoning Horn (rare)]
[Blow this horn and you will randomly summon 2 elite demon monsters to fight for you for 10 minutes, up to 3 times a day. Monsters are not under your control during this period, and will not actively attack you or your friends unless someone attacks them first. However, they may take the initiative to attack neutral targets, so please make sure that the surroundings are surrounded by enemies except friendly forces, otherwise it may cause unexpected trouble.]
[Demon Necklace (rare)]
[The speed of your demonic summons is increased by 30%, and all damage caused by it is increased by 60%, and you can command them to a certain extent, making their combat more efficient.]
[Rock Demon Hand (rare)]
[This glove is made of the skin of the Rock Demon as its main material. It has extraordinary physical defense, allowing you to hold a weapon with your hand, and increasing the physical damage caused by your hand attacks by 30%.]
As Wang Zhifan currently sees, he can choose two of the three Rare Tier rewards, but he doesn't have to worry about it this time. He just thinks about what to choose and just waits for the time to choose.
His current main focus is on team leader Sandra, who is carefully searching Dark Altar in the center of the church, looking for traces of so-called holy objects in order to complete this main mission.
"Sandra, haven't you found it yet? Do you need us to dismantle this altar?"
An NPC professional came to Sandra at this time and watched her observe the Omniscient Crystal in her hand while walking around the statue of Dark Altar with an evil aura and the image of some kind of demon, but she still did not find out where the holy object was.
"Let me look for it again. It's better not to touch this kind of altar casually."
Sandra shook his head cautiously after listening to others' suggestions. Altars are not very common in this world. They are usually set up for specific purposes. Touching them casually may cause some unpredictable consequences.
"This thing has been abandoned in these ruins for a long time. It won't do anything if it is dismantled. You have to be aware that it is almost dark. We have to find the holy object as soon as possible and start the return journey. Otherwise, at night, this place is said to be more dangerous and our movements will be more inconvenient."
The NPC professional then urged that the main reason was that it was already late, and if too much time was wasted, it would significantly increase the difficulty of returning from this mission.
"I know, let me look for it for a little while longer. If I still can't find it, I'll have to tear it down."
Sandra, who was holding Omniscient Crystal, immediately nodded slightly after hearing this, his eyes still switching back and forth between the crystal and the altar in front of him.
"There should be no sacred objects in this place at all. This mission indeed has quite a problem as I expected."
At this moment, Wang Zhifan, who was paying close attention to Sandra, made his own judgment in his heart. His judgment was based on nothing but his far superior perception ability than others.
With his powerful perception, he could directly see through the altar in the church and knew that there were no traces of so-called holy objects either outside or inside. Instead, there were many dark things, such as several jars containing human skulls and baby corpses inside the altar! "Which link caused the problem? If the holy object cannot be found here, where should we look for it?"
He then began to think about this very obscure matter. It was not his style to retreat when encountering difficulties. But he was still thinking about the baron's promise and wanted to go to Frost Harbor to find some master to customize Excellent Tier equipment.
But just when Wang Zhifan was thinking hard and couldn't figure it out, and Sandra and others couldn't figure out where the holy object was, an unexpected situation suddenly happened.
I saw Omniscient Crystal held in Sandra's hand suddenly vibrated slightly, and made a charming voice of a certain aristocratic male:
"Sandra, I saw you right, you really found the holy object! And all the brave professionals, I will never forget your bravery and strength!"
"Baron Rogue?"
Hearing that the crystal ball in her hand suddenly made the same sound as Baron Rogue, the female Warrior Sandra looked slightly startled and asked in reply to the crystal ball.
"It's me, please don't be surprised! This is because you have found the holy object and unlocked more abilities of Omniscient Crystal, so I can now contact you across the long distance at Rogue Town."
Baron Rogue's affirmative answer came out of the crystal ball.
"But... Lord Baron, we don't seem to have found any holy objects so far. We just came to Dark Altar through the guidance of Omniscient Crystal, which exudes a strong evil aura."
After confirming that it was Baron Rogue over there, Sandra answered truthfully, telling the other party that their current mission progress had been stuck and that they had not found anything that could be related to the holy object.
But Baron Rogue on the other side of the crystal ball didn't look very surprised when he heard this. He immediately replied decisively:
"Don't doubt your success, Sandra, I am very sure that you have arrived near the holy object I am looking for! It may be very different in appearance from the holy object you imagined, but that is just because it is in the Aifilan that is Demon Tide Annihilation has been severely polluted by the evil aura of Demon Tide! You only need to perform another Purification Ritual to bring it back to its former glory and brilliance! Then I can communicate with the great gods through it and pray to the gods to save this terrible world!"
The baron's voice coming out of the crystal ball was extremely enthusiastic, making people feel spiritually infected and convinced.
"Purification Ritual? What do you need us to do?"
Sandra's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she felt that everything became reasonable. The mission she led seemed to be coming to a happy ending.
"It's very simple, Sandra, you just need to place the Omniscient Crystal I gave you on the target guided by it, and then wait quietly for me to open Purification Ritual.
I think you should know very well that in Rogue Town, I spent a lot of resources to build a sacrifice to High Tower. Now is the time when this High Tower comes into play. I will use Omniscient Crystal to transfer its power to the holy objects to achieve deep purification.
This process will take some time, and it will also attract some monsters to test you. Please be sure to be ready for battle. "
Baron Rogue in the Crystal Ball then briefly talked about what Purification Ritual needs to pay attention to, especially mentioning that the process is not completely safe, and some monsters need to be dealt with by Aifilan professionals and players.
"No problem, Lord Baron, our people still have good combat effectiveness and are qualified for this task."
After hearing this, Sandra replied to Baron Rogue through the crystal ball, while looking at the people who had gathered near her to listen to their conversation, she felt full of confidence.
She was right. Although the entire mission team has been reduced by more than ten people and everyone is still more or less tired, it is still much better than what they expected before doing this mission. They still have quite sufficient combat effectiveness.
"There is a problem... there is definitely a problem with this mission..."
But Wang Zhifan, who listened to their conversation not far away, was even more vigilant at the moment, because he knew very well that the altar in this church could not be purified to become a holy object. It was completely an evil object, and there was no such thing as being contaminated!
