Ye Kong clinged to the shadows and quietly stepped into the hall, everything was silent.

The axe beetles in the hall were wandering around each other, but they didn't find Ye Kong's figure, or rather, Ye Kong merged with the shadows, causing the enemy to ignore him.

One-step.... Two steps.... Five-step .........

Ye Kong walked towards the west side of the hall, because the soil is not taken from every place, only the bare and exposed areas can be taken by the player, and the west side is a bare and exposed ground.

The rest of the hall is covered in a small layer of rock, and soil can't be taken.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and Haku successfully infiltrated the western position, and relied on the cover of the shadow to launch the Genji Gathering Technique.

Crash.......

The acceleration effect of Genji's collection technique made Haku's collection time very short, and after a while, he finished collecting the soil, reattached the shadow of the wall, and headed towards the exit.

"Buzz...... Buzz........"

The axe beetles in the hall were still wandering aimlessly, and suddenly, the two axe beetles went crazy and collided with each other.

Bang!

The sound attracts the attention of the other bugs, making them all look over.

"What's the situation?"

Ye Kong was also taken aback, but fortunately, his restraint was very strong, and he did not show any horses.

At this time, the two axe beetles became even more crazy, and the intensity of the collision kept increasing, and at the same time, the crazy posture spread to the other insects like an infectious disease.

Bang bang!!

A pair of bugs also started to play with bumper cars, as if they were collectively taking drugs.

"Hey, their rank ........"

Ye Kong noticed that something was wrong, and saw that on the top of the heads of those insects, the biological level blurred for a moment, and then, when they recondensed-

Axe Beetle (Level 13)

Normal-level creatures with 530/530 HP

"Got promoted so quickly? Is the pest infestation so severe? ”

Ye Kong's eyes sank, and he faintly felt a trace of unease, because the insects had upgraded too quickly, obviously beyond the normal range of the insect plague - at this rate, the insects in the previous life were definitely more than level 40.

At this speed, it's not surprising that it's level 60+!

"It's a weird thing......"

Ye Kong didn't dare to delay, and immediately went to the next area, and after a while, he came to the area of grass, trees and dust.

In this place, there are only three axe beetles and a blue-black ghost hunting spider.

Oni Hunt Spider (Level 13)

Enhanced creatures with 800/800 HP

Compared to the previous area, this place is obviously much 'safer', even if it is a ghost hunting spider, it is only a strengthened creature, and it is still a little difficult to find the high-level Ye Kong.

Of course, the main thing is that the environment is too good.

The gloomy environment under the tree hole provides a lot of help for the ghost walk, after all, Ye Kong's high-level breath is different from the assassin's stealth - the latter does not need to rely on the environment and directly turns on the 'transparent' state, while the former is out of the environment, it loses its visual cover, and needs to take advantage of the enemy's blind spot, otherwise, it is easy to be discovered by the enemy.

Fortunately, this place is also very dark, which provides convenience for Ye Kong's actions, and he did the same as last time, successfully collected the grass and wood dust, clinged to the wall again, and quietly went all the way.

Ye Kong returned the same way, killed a few lone axe beetles on the way, and finally returned to the surface, using the hanging basket and returning to the Central Holy City.

.................

Ye Kong followed the mission instructions and came to the commercial area where the 'Alchemy Master' lived.

Different from the somewhat sparse alien area, the commercial area of the Central Holy City is definitely prosperous and lively, even if there are no players settled in, it is also full of a large number of NPC residents, like a living world.

No

The Demon Realm is a living world.

Ye Kong wore a crow mask and shuttled through the crowd, and after a while, he found an alchemy shop with a half-closed door according to his memory, which was also the residence of alchemist Black.

Ye Kong stepped forward and knocked on the door, and in an instant, a low voice sounded behind the door-

"Please come in."

Squeak~, Ye Kong pushed the door in, and the shop was full of all kinds of equipment, basically alchemy equipment: rings, belts, headdresses/helmets, gauntlets, ornaments, etc., in addition, there was a huge figure with his back to him.

"Oh, I'll see who's coming."

The other party turned around, it was a brown-yellow skin half-giant, two front teeth squeezed out of the mouth, and the muscles were coiled all over the body, enough to scare a crying child in the middle of the night.

It's hard to imagine that the alchemist would be a strong man, not a skinny old man as is usually remembered.

"Hello, Mr. Black."

Ye Kong bowed slightly, and explained directly: "I was commissioned by Winifred to investigate the insect infestation of the Thousand Realms Tree..........

Ye Kong told what happened, and took out three kinds of soil, and handed it to Blake, who took it and observed it, and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Very good, I have also been concerned about the 'insect infestation' for a long time, that situation is really wrong, with this sample, I can also find out the truth." ”

"This is my thank you gift, please accept it."

After speaking, Blake took out a volume of books and handed it to Ye Kong's hand.

System Prompt: The mission content has been updated, so please listen to Blake's request.

Ye Kong took the book, and when he looked closely, it was the Feiyan Sword he was looking for-

"Huh? I haven't finished the task yet, and I gave the reward first? ”

For a while, Ye Kong's heart was full of doubts, and before he could figure it out, Blake took the sample and came to the alchemy table to perform a complicated operation.

Click.... Click.... Click!

In less than a moment, Blake finished the operation, turned to face Ye Kong, and said with a serious face: "Fortunately, thanks to your sample, I have figured out the whole situation, it turns out that the source of the 'insect infestation' is in the area of the Purple Spring soil. ”

"You take this insect removal and go to that area to fight, and you can alleviate the situation."

After speaking, Blake handed over a blue elixir to Ye Kong's hand.

System prompt: The mission content has been updated to 'Black's Tree Protection', please complete it within 3 hours, otherwise, it will be considered a failed mission.

"Okay, I'll do your request."

Ye Kong took the task and turned around and walked out of the alchemy shop, however, his heart was full of confusion-

"Why, isn't the Delphinium the ultimate reward for the mission?"

"In this way, the wind hustle and bustle deliberately hid the information, also because of the 'final reward'?"

Ye Kong shook his head, stopped thinking about them, and left the business district, heading towards the target location.

.......................

After spending some time, Ye Kong left the Holy City and returned to the interior of the Thousand Worlds Tree, all the way to the area of the Purple Spring Soil, where it was originally collected.

"Unexpectedly, I actually turned a big corner, and finally returned to this place........."

Ye Kong sighed and stepped back into the planting field, because his actions were not muddy and watery, and the two axe beetles had not yet refreshed, so no one bothered him for the time being.

So, Ye Kong took out the blue elixir, squatted down directly, and opened the tube towards the bare and exposed soil on the surface and poured the elixir down.

Didi ........

The blue-blue potion was poured into the dirt, and it immediately soaked, staining the purple soil blue.

"Alright, mission accomplished."

Ye Kong clapped his hands: "Next, just go and reply to Blake........"

Before the words fell, suddenly, Ye Kong's feet vibrate-

Bang!

The whole layer of soil actually collapsed!

Crash!

Ye Kong fell down, and at the same time, his gaze swept down, but he happened to see several figures:

"There are actually three people down there........ No, they are three players!! ”

The three figures directly below are two men and one woman, all of them wearing dark equipment, marked with a large number of strange ornaments, some of which look like totems, which are obviously different from the equipment style of the Thousand Worlds Tree.

This is........

Stygian Realm's gear style!

They are players in the Styx Realm!!

In a flash

It was as if it was a spiritual light that illuminated Ye Kong's mind and made him understand everything:

There is no 'only' plot in the magic realm,

It is like the yin and yang sides of the moon, the brighter the front, the darker the back.

The exterior of the Thousand Worlds Tree is bright, but its interior is as dark as the abyss.

Ye Kong performs the task of exterminating insects, which is a positive side, and vice versa, its negative side is ...........

The pest quest being performed by the Styx player!!

They are the source of all unrest!

That group of insect monsters 'evolved' too fast, in fact, it was the Styx players who hid below to 'fertilize', because the fertilizer was released, and its own effect was also the most violent!

"This ..... This ......."

The faces of the Night players are also full of horror!

At this moment, both sides met each other head-on in an unexpected way!

Shout!

Without hesitation, Ye Kong pulled out his long sword and slashed at the other party!

Wow!

The weapon warrior at the front also waved the sword to usher in!

The reaction of the two parties was almost simultaneous, and the next moment, the two blades collided together-

Tear !!

The blade rubbed against the blade, swaying a large number of sparks, and also illuminating the eyes of the two of them, almost crazy hideous killing intent!

At this moment,

Whether it's their own camp or the story mission, both sides have no room for maneuver!

They

It must be a battle to the death!!
