Killing to Send Treasure?

Cheng Shi was satisfied with the killing, but the other one was miserable.

Seeing Bai Ling was obviously frightened by this powerful thunder; she held her long bow tightly in one hand and covered her arm with the other, looking like she had given up resistance and was ready to stretch her neck to be slaughtered.

But Cheng Shi didn't intend to stay here long after completing his goal.

He glanced at the ring that was recharged by Seeing Bai Ling's fear, gave a light laugh, turned around, and rushed out.

At this time, the three people in the fierce battle ahead also heard the movement behind them; they turned their heads in shock, only to see a strange masked person rushing toward them.

Fang Shiqing felt this person looked a bit familiar.

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

But she had just recovered from the process of erasing Cheng Shi's memory and was connecting how their Fire-Bringers walked together with this 2600-point Knowledge Scholar; the thoughts and memories in her brain were mixed together, and for a while, she couldn't associate anything.

Seeing someone rush out from behind again, she immediately discarded distracting thoughts and quickly tore off a page of the book.

This was an attack page surging with the power of a gale; although the grade wasn't high, it could at least hinder the person's movement.

Cheng Shi had sharp eyes; seeing this page was a bit "leaky," he immediately changed his thinking, wanting to resist Fang Shiqing's blow, and then borrow the momentum to jump to the next walkway, thoroughly mixing into the 【Chaos】 believers.

But he had clearly prepared to lift his leg and jump down, and Fang Shiqing's wind did blow in front of him, but at this instant, his body suddenly began to flicker.

That moment was like 【Existence】 turning into 【Nothingness】; that gale passed through his body in an unbelievable way, failing to cause him a trace of damage.

Everyone on the scene, whether players or 【Chaos】 moles, furrowed their brows looking at this scene.

What kind of means is this?

Cheng Shi himself was also stunned.

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

His whole person also disappeared under everyone's gaze.

"Dis... disappeared?" Fang Shiqing widened her eyes violently, but the next second her expression changed and she called out urgently, "Qiushi, be careful!"

A giant blade slid over Cui Qiushi's head; he bent down to dodge the blow, rolled lightly to the edge of the walkway, and protected Fang Shiqing behind him.

Ji Yue in front also retreated after losing strength, her face a bit pale due to excessive consumption.

There were too many enemies.

The Funeral Bell Knights had almost occupied the entire Void Experimental Field; as the remaining scholars were slaughtered, the situation had completely tilted toward 【Chaos】.

At least in the eyes of the players, as far as the eye could see, they were all His believers.

They shouted and howled, their ferocious expressions wanting to tear the last order to pieces.

"Can't hold on, retreat inside first!"

Ji Yue stabbed her cavalry lance down to slow the enemy's offensive while retreating with the crowd.

When the three retreated to the laboratory and met Seeing Bai Ling, and found there was no way to retreat, their expressions became extremely solemn.

There was still half a day left until the trial ended; wanting to circle with enemies as dense as locusts in such a small place for half a day was simply a fantasy!

Everyone at this moment felt heavy pressure.

What was even more desperate was that the fire was already spreading on the Conjugate Whisper!

This group of 【Chaos】 madmen finally ignited this World Tree that grew in both void and reality, just as history said!

The flames roared and grew with the wind; in a short while, everything within everyone's sight was soaring with fire!

"The fire is too big; it's better to break open the void..."

Cui Qiushi's suggestion had just been spoken when it was interrupted by Ji Yue.

"Reality might be worse; here at least we can rely on geographical advantages to reduce the contact area with the enemy.

And the Central Academy in reality must have already fallen by now.

The great fire in the void might still be slightly suppressed by the void, while reality... that canopy covering the sky is afraid it has already become a cradle of purgatory."

Even at such a time, Ji Yue's head remained calm; her heavy gaze swept across the surroundings, serious and earnest:

"Therefore, the best method is to hold on to the death here, hold on until the moment the trial ends.

Of course, we also have to pray that the Doomsday Corporation is not in a hurry to destroy the Funeral Bell Knights' remaining... few... fun."

After speaking, she turned to look at Fang Shiqing.

"Singer, it's hard for me to believe that I actually walked here with you, but things have reached this point, and I don't regret it.

It's just that, in this final time, I hope I don't need to be distracted to guard my back anymore..."

Fang Shiqing didn't say a word, nodding with a firm expression.

"New Fire-Bringers" and "Old Fire-Bringers" stood together again at this moment because of the resonance of trust.

Even if they had long forgotten the oath made under the witness of the "mask."

Ji Yue revealed a satisfied smile, laughing heartily:

"Good! Very good!

This situation is just right for me to properly appreciate His momentum and deeply feel the charm of 【War】!

But it's a pity that there are no more spoils of war in this desperate battle.

Looking at the Hunter's expression, that 【Chaos】 believer who disappeared inexplicably wearing a mask is afraid he has already taken everything away.

History...

Did not change after all."

A dark color flashed in Ji Yue's eyes.

Obviously, her research path was broken.

But just at this time, Seeing Bai Ling, who had been silent, bit her lips and took out two pure white... from her waist.

Slender petals.

"!!!"

"???"

"!!??"

That pure white petal shone with blinding white light, making people feel their eyes sting just by looking at it.

But even so, not one of the four people on the scene was willing to move their eyes away; they stared fixedly at the petals in Seeing Bai Ling's hand, letting their eyes turn red and sting, their faces full of disbelief.

"This is..."

Cui Qiushi was dumbfounded.

He was first dumbfounded by the petals he had never seen before, and then dumbfounded by this familiar feeling.

Why was this feeling of being dumbfounded so familiar?

He began to recall the past in the trial, but found he had no clue.

Apart from Cui Qiushi, the scholar and the poet were also dumbfounded.

But they reacted quickly; Fang Shiqing widened her eyes, and Ji Yue's gaze narrowed.

"This is... the petals of the Conjugate Whisper... that haven't withered!?"

Seeing Bai Ling saw Ji Yue's gaze was frighteningly excited, so she took back her small hand and stepped back, nodding with pursed lips.

But Ji Yue's confusion was unresolved; how could she let her run, so she stepped forward and grabbed Seeing Bai Ling's hand.

"Where did it come from?"

Cui Qiushi saw this situation, instantly came back to his senses from being dumbfounded, moved sideways, and blocked between the two.

He looked at Ji Yue with a solemn gaze, and the meaning conveyed in his actions was self-evident.

Clearly, the trust agreement just concluded was now facing new risks.

The risk of harboring a treasure.

However, just when these two were worried about whether this "irritable" scholar would turn against them because of this, Fang Shiqing grabbed Seeing Bai Ling and Cui Qiushi's hands and shook her head.

"Don't be anxious, Ji Yue has no malice."

Yes, Ji Yue had no malice.

At this very moment, hope and shock were intertwined in her heart, surprise and joy resonated, like dark clouds suddenly dispersing and sunlight shining, and her whole person seemed to have gained a new life!

These two pure Whisper petals were like rails leading to the future, reconnecting her research that had almost nowhere to go!

To be honest, Seeing Bai Ling was also dumbfounded.

She had only just discovered these two petals, and she didn't know how this thing ran onto her body.

She only discovered the location of these two petals on the belt near her side waist that had been hit by that masked person before.

So...

He approached her, not to kill her?

But to... send treasure?

What kind of script is this?

She furrowed her brows tightly and repeated everything she had just seen and heard word for word.

As soon as the words fell, Ji Yue's face became extremely solemn. ===== CHAPTER 180 =====
