House.

A temple-like house.

Standing quietly in front of him at this moment, although this temple-like building was not as majestic and huge as the real temple, its shadow still covered a large group of people including Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao stood in this shadow, as if he was shrouded and restrained by this huge shadow.

Of course, the shadow of the building alone can't restrain a person with the ability to act independently, not to mention that Ye Xiao is not the only one who is restrained.

Ye Xiao turned his head to look at the people crowded around him, and then lowered his head again and carefully looked at the ropes that bound his hands.

The rope is pale purple throughout, and light blue runes flash from time to time as the body moves. Obviously, this was a magical bundle, and the extraordinary power it contained, even if it was only a faint trace, was enough to make the vast majority of people present helpless.

But it's not completely impossible, it's just ......

"Listen carefully, I'll just say it once. At this moment when Ye Xiao lowered his head and thought, an abrupt voice came from the steps of the building.

Ye Xiao raised his head and squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully.

The red gilded hooded mage robe, the gemstone staff that shimmered with a magnificent red light, the person who spoke was wearing a hood, and the wide mage robe covered him tightly, if it weren't for the palm holding the body of the staff in the middle of the staff, and the voice that did exist, Ye Xiao wouldn't be sure if there was anyone in the wide mage robe.

"First of all, your first priority is to absolutely obey the will of our Shadow Alliance. The person on the steps raised his head slightly, and his clear and slow voice slowly spread around: "Because every month everyone will be assigned some tasks, and these tasks you must do your best to complete, after completing the task, you will get the same amount of task points, and if you can't complete it, double points will be deducted, and if the points are negative, in addition to being punished, we will also prohibit him from returning to the safe zone where we are now, and expel him to the outside mission area, until he has accumulated enough points to be able to come back." ”

"That's the basic rule, but I would like to add that everything in the mission area is toxic, and people of your quality can hold out for up to three days, so ...... Try to try harder. The red-robed mage's voice was still clear and slow, but the crowd below began to stir a little.

"Actually......" The mage on the steps cleared his throat, and the commotion below immediately came to an abrupt halt.

"It won't be long before you will find out the actual value of mission points, because their main purpose is not to ensure your survival, but to ...... Take it for trading. ”

"Meditation Technique!Magic Skill Book!Enchantment Weapon!Magic Elixir! Alchemy Elixir! Douqi Secret Text! These things can be exchanged for points as long as you want. Not giving anyone time to react at all, the mage on the steps continued to say a long list of things that made people's hearts beat faster.

The crowd at the bottom of the stairs suddenly boiled, because everything that came out of the mage's mouth on the stairs pointed in one direction, that is, powerful, and who in this world didn't want to become stronger, let alone them.

"Alright. The mage clapped his hands lightly, and the commotion immediately stopped again. "I'll help you loosen the harness, it's very safe, so don't be nervous. ”

Ye Xiao glanced around, most of the people had a happy expression, and only a few people were frowning and thinking there.

Raising his head, he didn't know why, Ye Xiao found that his gaze seemed to be through the shadow of the hood, and he saw the meaningful smirk on the corner of the mage's mouth.

Slightly stunned, a yellow light came into view, interrupting the contemplation, and it turned out that all of a sudden, all the people under the steps were surrounded by clusters of yellow light.

The light mass was warm, as if it was breathing, expanding and contracting, rising and falling.

Their bodies stiffened suddenly, their expressions froze, and almost all of them observed the seemingly harmless ball of light around them with fearful and evasive eyes.

Although it had been stated that this was a means of freeing the restraints, all the people still did not dare to relax, because on the way here, all the people had already seen the terrifying manifestations of these seemingly harmless light clusters floating around them.

That day, as soon as Ye Xiao woke up, he found himself sleeping in a moving magic airship, with a magic bundle on his wrist, and some strangers with fierce faces lying or standing around.

Further outer, there were some black-robed people who didn't respond to any questions, all of them holding magic sticks with a layer of blue electricity flowing with expressionless faces and indifferent eyes, and it seemed that whoever made out-of-the-ordinary actions and words would be hit hard.

Dizzy, he couldn't help but stumble when he stood up with his head on his head, and accidentally stepped on a person behind him.

Ye Xiao was pushed hard and almost fell, the specific process was no longer important, the result was that the guy behind him who hurt Ye Xiao's feet took the opportunity to provoke the incident.

Then, the man appeared, and first shouted in a very soft voice: Stop. And then it struck.

As you could see in front of you, first a yellow light cluster surrounded the man who looked extremely strong, and then the light ball expanded and merged like a breath, and in an instant it became a magnificent yellow flame.

The sound of the roasting flesh and the screams rang out almost at the same time, but no matter how miserable the man's screams and pleading, the mage remained indifferent, and the commotion that had begun to spread suddenly stopped, and everyone widened their eyes as they watched as the sturdy man was tormented by the seemingly warm light of the fire, and cried and cried and curled until it became a pile of gray-white ashes.

Ye Xiao still can't forget that scene, because it was the first time he saw someone whose mouth could be opened so wide, and he could shout so loudly and poignantly.

The bright yellow flames clinged to Ye Xiao and everyone's wrists, and the warmth that matched the vision spread towards the arms, but it wasn't until the moment the magic bundle on the wrist turned into ashes that everyone subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's as dark as a shadow, as it is. If you join us, you will get what you want. An inexplicable chant suddenly sounded, and the mage on the steps suddenly raised his hands, and the darkness around him was immediately dispelled by the ensuing light, and the temple building, which had always seemed dark and mysterious, was also revealed in this light.

The solemn and atmospheric pillar-like exterior of the temple, the magnificent interior structure, everything seems so hopeful, as if a bright avenue is laid in front of you, as long as you take a step forward, the future is bright.

Yes! Hurry up! What are you waiting for! The murmur kept urging in his ears, but Ye Xiao didn't move.

The mage on the steps beckoned, and more and more people crowded around him with excited faces.

The faint urging sound in his ears was obviously more urgent, Ye Xiao touched the bruise on his face, and took a step towards the mage.

"Hehaha......" The low and suppressed raging laughter in his throat came from behind him, and he subconsciously stopped, Ye Xiao turned his head in surprise, but met a few equally puzzled eyes behind him.

Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows, although he had doubts, he didn't pay attention to it, turned around and continued to walk in the original direction.
