Chapter 496: Long-Lost Main Quest

[Ding-dong, congratulations to the player for triggering the main quest.]

Just when everyone was hesitant and could not judge the next choice.

The system prompt suddenly sounded, attracting all of Qin Feng’s attention.

As early as half a year ago, after Qin Feng left the Kaiyuan Secret Realm, entered Mobius Academy, became a member of Mobius Academy, and joined the Battlefield Plan.

All main quests and side quests had been completed.

Since then, the system had not issued even a single side quest.

It was like it was dead, with no movement at all.

Now, it could finally be considered to have come back to life.

[Please have the player pass through the Black Prison and reach the Dark Box.]

[Quest Reward: Shadow Gloves.]

What the hell? Why is it a Dark Box?

Wasn't it said that one would reach a treasure vault filled with heavenly treasures?

It seems that the true situation of the Black Prison is not as stated in the intelligence obtained by the Flame King.

Through this main quest issued after half a year, Qin Feng obtained a lot of news.

First, there is probably more to this Black Prison than meets the eye.

Second, the reward for this main quest is the Shadow Gloves.

He still remembered the previous quest, which had rewarded the Shadow Badge.

These two things sounded very similar in name, and since they were both rewards for main quests, there must be a connection between them.

And besides the Shadow Badge, among the quests Qin Feng had completed before, in addition to various crystals.

There were three quest rewards that had not yet found an opportunity to be used and were still in Qin Feng’s space ring.

The Mysterious Key, as well as the Nirvana Pill and the Thunder Burst Ball.

He had a premonition that he would probably use these three things in these ancient ruins.

From the system issuing the quest to Qin Feng finishing his thinking, it took at most one minute.

In the eyes of Beigong Yun and Lin An and the others, Qin Feng made a decision after thinking for only one minute.

"You wait outside for now; I will go into this Black Prison first to see."

"It just so happens that we have a soul chain connected between us; once any problem occurs, or if my mind becomes unstable and I get lost inside, you can also wake me up through the lotus chain."

Since the quest had already been issued, Qin Feng didn't need to struggle anymore; he would just go in.

However, Qin Feng’s decision was not approved by them.

"You are the most important member among us; even if we don't enter this Black Prison to obtain treasures, we cannot let you take the risk."

"In terms of the mind, after so many years of tempering, my mind should still be considered difficult to shake."

"It is more appropriate for me to enter the Black Prison to investigate first."

No matter what special mission Beigong Yun had, among all his missions, protecting Qin Feng was always the most important one.

Even if he had to give up the mission related to the Beigong family and the Earth Demons, he had to protect Qin Feng well.

The Battlefield of a Hundred Countries was more important than anything else.

"If you are willing, you can naturally enter the Black Prison at any time. But I am going in; this is my decision."

If it is a test of whether the mind is firm, it makes no sense for anyone to go in first to scout the path.

Because a firm mind is firm, and an unfirm mind is unfirm; knowing it doesn't help.

Compared to others, Qin Feng’s perception of this world is more like a game world.

He has nothing he is particularly obsessed with.

Without obsession, it is not easy to be influenced.

Conversely, no matter how many hardships Beigong Yun and the others have experienced, and how their minds have been tempered.

At least in this world, in this Eastern Continent, they may not necessarily be as difficult to influence as Qin Feng.

No one could change what Qin Feng decided. In the end, no one could dissuade him.

In these black buildings, only one person can enter each building at a time.

As long as someone enters, the door will close.

If someone leaves, the door will open.

It’s just that after the door opened, no one walked out of the door.

Making it impossible to judge whether the cultivators who entered before were trapped inside forever.

With no chance to leave, or if they went to other spaces after clearing the level.

Qin Feng randomly chose a three-story black building with an open door and walked in.

Under the strong dissuasion of others, he also activated visual sharing.

So that the teammates connected by the soul chain could help him get rid of potential predicaments in time.

The moment Qin Feng walked into this black building, the door behind him slammed shut in an instant, bringing up a strong wind.

The environment, which still had a bit of light, instantly became pitch black, to the point where one could not see one’s fingers.

Seeing nothing, it was naturally difficult to move forward. After all, no one knew what dangers were in the darkness.

Qin Feng took out a night-luminescent pearl of excellent quality, half the size of a human head, from his space ring.

He wanted to illuminate the area around him.

But he found that the originally bright night-luminescent pearl was pitch black in this dark area, unable to emit even a hint of light.

It was as if this space did not allow light to exist.

"It seems that this is a special space."

After Qin Feng roughly described the situation in the soul chain, he threw the night-luminescent pearl back into his space ring and lifted his leg to walk forward.

Qin Feng’s actions seemed too reckless to everyone.

Lin An even couldn't help but shout, demanding that Qin Feng stop immediately.

It was just that at this moment, Qin Feng could no longer hear Lin An’s voice.

In the eyes of Beigong Yun, Lin An, and even the Flame King and others, the scene before them was still pitch black, and they could see nothing.

It was just that Qin Feng suddenly stopped, motionless, and didn't speak.

It was as if the whole person had become still.

But in Qin Feng’s eyes, when he took this step, the scenery before him was completely different.

This was a vast galaxy, and there were countless strong people fighting on the galaxy.

There were no voices of companions in his ears, but it was filled with various screams and wails, as well as the sound of weapons clashing.

The strength of the strong people on the galaxy was far superior to the current Qin Feng.

Everyone could easily kill him, and even the aftermath of two people fighting could kill the current Qin Feng.

Qin Feng had only appeared in this galaxy for less than half a minute when a strong person fighting not far away casually stabbed a knife into his chest.

The powerful force tore Qin Feng apart in an instant.

His eyes went dark, and the shadow of death attacked him.

Subsequently, in just a short moment, he opened his eyes again and stood in the galaxy again.

In just a few seconds, he was casually killed again.

And then, it was an endless cycle.

Not once could Qin Feng stay safely on the galaxy for more than a minute.

Endless death? Fear and helplessness?

Qin Feng was expressionless as he was constantly killed, his brain operating calmly.

Facing the strong, he could only be killed powerlessly over and over again, unable to be liberated, the fear of being unable to live or die.

Losing contact with his companions, only endless loneliness remained.

This was indeed quite terrifying.

Qin Feng quickly understood what the test of this level was.

It was fear.

Whether it was death or endless loneliness, it would bring fear to people.

Only by overcoming fear could one escape from this level.

In fact, it sounded like this level was easy to pass.

After all, everyone who came in should know that what was before them was an illusion.

After all, if it were real, how could one be resurrected after death?

But things were not that simple.

Every time they died, the person who entered this illusion would bear the feeling of the fear of true death.

This feeling of fear was not generated by one’s own emotions, but was imposed by this illusion. It could not be escaped.

Every time they died, the sense of fear would increase until the person entering the illusion could not bear it and completely collapsed.

And the sense of loneliness would also gradually increase accordingly.

Therefore, wanting to pass this level did not mean that the person clearing the level could not be afraid just by thinking about it.

But how could one break through this sense of fear?

Qin Feng rolled his eyes, not worried at all. He knew too well what this galaxy was.

This was the place he stayed before coming to this real world, the game that forcibly took everyone from Earth away.

It’s just that, at such a time, seeing this kind of place, was there any reason?

The shadow of fear grew larger and larger, but Qin Feng did not take it into his eyes at all, just thinking to himself.

Until the next "death".

No, this feeling was exactly the same as the feeling when he died, just gradually from weak to strong!

This environment was not imposing fear, but stealing his memories, and then using his memories to defeat him!

Therefore, wanting to get rid of fear meant one had to get rid of the shadow brought by that memory.
