I, the one in the heavens, am here to protect my bottom line in all realms.

Chapter 266 Chance Encounter
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the woman in white. The woman in white just nodded slightly and turned and left.

Jiang Siyou looked at the back of the woman in white and thought to himself: This woman should also be a player, she looks like a dual swordsman.

They continued to move forward. Jiang Siyi collected all the herbs prompted by the system along the way. He could not help at all in the previous situation, but he had an idea when he saw the prompt.

He collected herbs, secretly thinking that he never knew when he would need them. Sometimes when he had gathered a prescription, he would prepare the medicine according to the instructions.

The injuries of the three people were mostly healed, and each of them had a lot of healing pills on them in case of emergency.

As they walked, they found a dilapidated temple. They walked into the temple cautiously. Inside was an ancient statue covered with dust and cobwebs.

As they were watching carefully, a light suddenly emanated from the statue and a mysterious voice echoed in the temple.

"My dear friend, your arrival here is arranged by fate. If you want to leave here, you must pass three tests."

As soon as he finished speaking, the first test came.

A raging fire suddenly broke out in the temple, and the blazing flames swept towards them.

Xu Yuankai shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, let's rush out together!"

They supported each other and struggled to find a way out of the sea of ​​fire.

Just when they were about to collapse, Jiang Siyou discovered a mechanism and successfully put out the fire.

Then, the second test appeared.

The ground began to shake violently, and countless spikes emerged from the ground. An Zhiyu relied on her agility to lead everyone to avoid the attack of the spikes.

Finally, the third test is a test of conscience. In the illusion, a group of old, weak and sick people who are powerless beg them for help. Everyone has his or her own difficulties, but they all want to harm them. Let's see how they solve them.

An Zhiyu is the most compassionate of the three. Faced with such a test, she chose to rescue them from the beginning, trying to influence these people with sincerity and kindness and let them let go of their malice.

However, she felt deceived and betrayed as she failed, and thus fell into pain and entanglement.

Should we continue to rescue and believe that the goodness of human nature can be awakened, or should we give up decisively and protect ourselves from harm?

Xu Yuankai was more rational. He remained vigilant from the beginning and carefully observed the words and actions of these old, weak and sick people, trying to find out their true intentions.

When you are sure they are going to harm you, weigh the pros and cons and consider the risks of rescuing them.

Try to communicate with them and find a compromise solution that protects yourself while helping them to some extent.

Jiang Siyou's choice was more indifferent. He chose to leave decisively, believing that when his own safety was threatened, he had no obligation to rescue those with malicious intentions.

After the three people expressed their attitudes, the illusion disappeared, and the mysterious voice sounded again: "You have passed the test, each of you can take your chance."

After that, three professional experience books appeared in front of them. After using them, their levels were improved and their various data also improved.

Because their level had been raised, they became energetic again, without any sign of fatigue, and they were ready to go down the mountain.

On their way, a herbalist appeared in front of them, carrying a bamboo basket filled with various herbs. It was Zhang Chengyuan.

Zhang Chengyuan saw them and smiled: "I've been waiting here for a long time." Everyone was delighted, and Jiang Siyou was so excited that he almost cried.

Zhang Chengyuan said, "This forest is full of dangers. There is a herb that I need very much but cannot be picked. I hope the three heroes can help me."

As soon as she finished speaking, all three of them received a task prompt: The herbalist Zhang Chengyuan has issued a team task to you, do you all want to accept it?
Xu Yuankai looked at the other two and asked them. They nodded and he stepped forward and said, "Miss, please tell me what kind of herbs you need and where you can find them. Can you tell me the details?"

Zhang Chengyuan frowned slightly and said slowly: "This medicine is called 'Ambergris Fruit'. It grows on cliffs and is often guarded by birds of prey. The place is on the edge of a cliff deep in the valley."

Xu Yuankai cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, young lady. We will do our best to get this medicine for you."

Zhang Chengyuan bowed slightly and said, "It will be extremely dangerous for the three heroes to go there. Please accept this item. It may increase your chances of victory."

The three of them looked at each other and took it. Then the system prompt came:

Congratulations on receiving a book on Qinggong given by the NPC herbalist. Do you want to learn it?
The three of them naturally had to learn it. The skill book turned into a stream of light and entered their bodies, and they directly learned the light work.

Zhang Chengyuan was full of admiration: "The three heroes are so talented. I'd like to trouble you to go and come back quickly."

After everyone nodded and thanked them, they headed deeper into the valley. Along the way, the mountain road was rugged and full of thorns.

Xu Yuankai led the way, An Zhiyu was on guard in the middle, and Jiang Siyou was picking usable herbs everywhere.

Although they encountered several surprise attacks, they still arrived at the edge of the cliff safely. They saw the ambergris fruit at a glance. It was emitting a strange light, and there were several huge black eagles circling around it.

The three of them quickly made their deployment. Jiang Siyou retreated to a safe distance and waited for an opportunity to act. An Zhiyu drew his bow and arrow, trying to drive away the Black Hawk and create an opportunity for Xu Yuankai to approach.

Xu Yuankai took a detour and used his lightness skills to quietly approach the ambergris fruit, but Black Hawk soon noticed him and attacked him regardless of An Zhiyu's arrow attack.

The Black Hawk was extremely ferocious and almost hurt Xu Yuankai several times, but An Zhiyu and Xu Yuankai cooperated to avoid it.

Jiang Siyou on the side was anxiously observing the situation, thinking about countermeasures, and ready to rescue at any time.

Just when Xu Yuankai was about to pick the ambergris fruit, a black eagle suddenly swooped down and pounced on him.

At the critical moment, Jiang Siyou picked up a stone and threw it hard at the black eagle, distracting its attention.

After Xu Yuankai successfully took the opportunity to pick the ambergris fruit, he fled madly. An Zhiyu used a bow and arrow to stop the Black Hawk.

Jiang Siyou was not idle either. He used his lightness skills to continuously throw stones to assist An Zhiyu in covering Xu Yuankai's retreat.

The two men cooperated well, attacking and retreating at the same time. Jiang Siyou also took the opportunity to spread the poison, forcing back the group of black eagles and completely escaping from the edge of the cliff.

After escaping from danger, the three of them were out of breath, feeling only excitement, they smiled at each other and went back down the mountain to find the herbalist to hand in the task.

They returned to Zhang Chengyuan with the ambergris fruit. Zhang Chengyuan, who was waiting for them, immediately came over and asked worriedly, "Are the three heroes injured?"

Jiang Siyou interrupted and said, "No one was hurt. We brought back the ambergris you wanted."

Zhang Chengyuan was extremely surprised and said, "Thank you three heroes, I wonder if you could give it to me to take a look."

Jiang Siyou turned his head and stretched out his hand to ask for it from Xu Yuankai. Xu Yuankai looked at him in confusion, but still handed the ambergris to him.
