Kill and Deliver?

Cheng Shi had his fill of killing, but the other person suffered terribly.

Bailing was clearly terrified by the immense power of the Thunderbolt. She gripped her longbow tightly with one hand and covered her arm with the other, seemingly having given up resistance and preparing to accept her fate.

But Cheng Shi had no intention of staying there long after he had achieved his goal.

He glanced at the ring, which had been recharged by the fear of the Bailing, chuckled, and turned to rush out.

At this moment, Ji Yue and her two companions, who were engaged in a chaotic battle ahead, also heard the commotion behind them. They turned around in shock and saw a strange masked man rushing towards them.

Fang Shiqing felt that this person looked familiar.

Not only his figure, but even the sound of his heartstrings felt somewhat familiar.

But she had just recovered from erasing Cheng Shi's Memory and was trying to piece together how they, the Fire Keeper, had come together with this Erudite Scholar with a score of 2600. Her thoughts and memories were mixed together in a chaotic mess, and she couldn't make any connections for the time being.

Just then, she saw someone rush out from behind her, and she immediately put aside all other thoughts and quickly tore off a page from the book.

This is an attack page brimming with the power of a raging storm. Although its grade is not high, it can at least hinder the actions of the person coming.

Cheng Shi, with his sharp eyes, noticed that the page was a bit "air-leaking," so he immediately changed his strategy. He wanted to withstand Fang Shiqing head-on, and then use the momentum to jump to the next level of the trail, completely blending into the [Chaos] Believer.

He was already prepared to jump, and Fang Shiqing's wind did blow in front of him, but at that moment, his body suddenly began to flicker.

At that moment, it was as if existence had turned into Nothingness. The gust of wind inexplicably passed through his body without causing him any harm.

Everyone present, whether players or the chaotic moles, frowned at the sight.

What kind of tactic is this?

Cheng Shi himself was also taken aback.

He only saw his body flicker between light and darkness a few times, and then, with a "whoosh," his consciousness was pulled back into the darkness.

He disappeared completely under everyone's gaze.

"Gone... gone?" Fang Shiqing's eyes widened in surprise, but the next second she exclaimed in alarm, "Qiushi, be careful!"

A giant blade narrowly missed Cui Qiushi's head. He ducked to avoid the attack, then rolled lightly to the edge of the path, shielding Fang Shiqing behind him.

Ji Yue, who was ahead, also retreated after losing her strength, her face pale from exhaustion.

There are too many enemies.

The Bellringer Knight have almost completely taken over the Void Experiment Ground, and with the remaining Scholar slaughtered, the situation has completely turned into chaos.

At least in the eyes of the players, everywhere they look, there are His Believer.

They shouted and howled, their ferocious expressions suggesting they wanted to tear apart the last vestiges of Order.

"We can't hold out any longer, let's retreat!"

Ji Yue lowered her lance to slow the enemy's attack while retreating with the others.

When the three of them retreated into the Experiment and met up with Bailing, and found that there was nowhere else to retreat, their expressions became extremely solemn.

With half a day left before the Trials ends, trying to fight off swarms of enemies as dense as locusts in such a small area for half a day is simply a pipe dream!

At this moment, everyone felt immense pressure.

What's even more Despair is that the fire has already spread to the Conjugate Whisper!

Just as history has said, this group of chaotic madmen finally ignited the World Tree that grows in both the real and the virtual!

Flames roared and flew high in the wind. In no time, flames soared into the sky wherever everyone could see!

"The fire is too big; let's break through the Void..."

Cui Qiushi's suggestion was interrupted by Ji Yue as soon as he spoke.

"The reality may be worse, but at least here we can take advantage of the geographical location to reduce the area we can approach the enemy."

The real Central Academy must have already fallen by now.

The raging fire in the Void might be somewhat suppressed by the Void, but in reality... that towering canopy of trees has likely already become the cradle of Purgatory.

Even at this moment, Ji Yue remained calm. Her heavy gaze swept over her surroundings, and she said seriously and earnestly:

"Therefore, the best approach is to hold out here until the Trials ends."

Of course, we also have to pray that the Doomsday Syndicate isn't in a hurry to destroy the Bellringer Knight's last... few... pieces of fun."

After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Fang Shiqing.

"Singer, I find it hard to believe that I have come this far with you, but I have no regrets now."

However, in these final moments, I hope I no longer need to be distracted by guarding against what's behind me...

Fang Shiqing nodded resolutely without saying a word.

At this moment, the "new Passing the Flame" and the "old Passing the Flame" once again stood together because of their shared trust.

Even though they had long forgotten the vows they made under the witness of the "Mask".

Ji Yue smiled with satisfaction and laughed heartily:

"Okay! Okay!"

This scene is perfect for me to appreciate His power and deeply experience the allure of war!

Unfortunately, there were no spoils left from this desperate battle.

Judging from the Hunter's expression, the Mask Believer who had mysteriously disappeared must have already taken everything with him.

History...

Nothing changed in the end.

A shadow crossed Ji Yue's eyes.

Clearly, her research path has come to an end.

But at that moment, Bailing, who had been silent until now, pursed her lips and pulled out two flawless white...

Slender petals.

"!!!"

"???"

"!!??"

The Pure White petals shimmered with a dazzling white light, so bright that just one glance was enough to sting one's eyes.

Even so, none of the four people present could bear to look away. They stared intently at the petals in Bailing's hand, their eyes red and stinging, their faces filled with disbelief.

"This is..."

Cui Qiushi was stunned.

He was first bewildered by the petals he had never seen before, and then by the feeling of déjà vu.

Why does this feeling of being completely bewildered feel so familiar?

He began to recall his past experiences during the Trials, but found himself completely clueless.

Aside from Cui Qiushi, Scholar and poets were also bewildered.

But they quickly realized what was happening. Fang Shiqing's eyes widened, and Ji Yue's gaze sharpened.

"These are... petals of Conjugate Whisper that have never withered!?"

Seeing the frightening excitement in Ji Yue's eyes, Bailing withdrew her small hand, took a step back, pursed her lips, and nodded.

But Ji Yue was still puzzled and couldn't let her get away, so she strode forward and grabbed Bailing's hand.

Where did it come from?

Seeing this, Cui Qiushi snapped out of his daze and took a step to the side, blocking the two of them.

He looked at Ji Yue with a serious expression, the meaning conveyed in his actions was self-evident.

Clearly, the trust that was just established is now facing new risks.

The risk of being caught in the crossfire of possessing a valuable treasure.

However, just as the two were worried that the "irritable" Scholar in front of them might turn on them, Fang Shiqing grabbed Bailing and Cui Qiushi's hands and shook her head.

"Don't worry, Ji Yue means no harm."

Yes, Ji Yue meant no harm.

At this moment, hope and shock intertwined in her heartstrings, and surprise and joy resonated together. Like dark clouds suddenly dispersing and the sun shining brightly, she felt as if she had been reborn!

These two pure, Whispering Flower Petal were like rails leading to the future, reconnecting her research, which had almost reached a dead end!

To be honest, Bailing was also confused.

She had just discovered these two petals; she had no idea how they ended up on her.

They found that the two petals were located on the belt near the side of their waist where the masked man had hit them earlier.

So...

He approached me, not to kill me?

Or was it to... deliver treasure?

What kind of script is this?

She frowned and recounted everything she had just seen and heard, word for word.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Yue's expression turned extremely solemn.
