The sky curtain makes you a useless class monitor, yet you act arbitrarily for eternity?

On the sky.

Aikun shrugged at the comments.

What is a "pitfall"?

"That's called favoritism, okay!"

"Ah, right, right, right!"

【Ke Chun】: "Such favoritism led to the death of someone who was most afraid of pain!"

That's really favoritism!

Aikun stopped waving his fan.

"Cough cough..."

He closed his folding fan and tapped the table.

"I won't say, I won't say. This is your Old Ancestor Ye's special chapter now."

"alright!"

"Let's continue."

The projection behind him lit up again, stopping at the moment Yan Dachui clenched his fist.

Aikun tapped his face with the ribs of his fan.

"As you all saw, Yan Dachui has already developed hostility towards Old Ancestor Ye."

"He will definitely make a move later."

"But here's the problem."

The fan ribs moved to the other side of the screen and touched the twin swords behind Ye Chen.

"You can all see Elder Ye's strength."

"It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's the number one character after the major villain, Xiao Ai, wouldn't it?"

Aikun leaned forward and looked at the camera.

"What makes Yan Dachui dare to make a move?"

He smiled and unfolded his folding fan with a snap.

"Then naturally, it will be I who take action!"

"Hmm, what happens next?"

"behind……"

Despite the audience's lukewarm response, Ai Kun showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

He tapped the edge of the table with his folding fan, and his smile became even brighter.

"Yan Dachui saw your Old Ancestor Ye and Sword Immortal Jiang being affectionate, so he deliberately jumped out to cause trouble."

"And the result?"

"Before he could even put on airs as a guard, Jiang Jianxian immediately removed him from his guard duties."

Aikun spread his hands.

"Won't this create an enemy?"

[Ke Chun]: "This is called making an enemy? This is clearly making an ugly person break down!"

[Yu Zhongxuan]: "When he clenched his fist just now, I knew this bastard was no good."

【Autumn Departure】: "Host, you'd better explain why you just said it was you who made the move."

"Don't rush."

Aikun unfolded his folding fan, covering half of his face.

"I merely provided him with an opportunity."

"The person who ultimately makes the choice is himself."

"Oh, right."

Aikun added a sentence.

"In the next mission, the paralyzing poison I provide can bypass the identification skills of all players at that time."

"So don't rush to accuse your Old Master Ye of being stupid."

"It's your turn. They're already lying down neatly."

The projector behind them lit up.

Inside the Dawn Guild's mission hall, a deep red mission plaque fell off the wall and landed in Ye Chen's hand.

[Training Mission: Explore the outer perimeter of the Bone Maze.]

Team size: three people.

[Mission Members: Ye Chen, Yan Dachui, Heavy Knight]

After reading the mission information, Ye Chen looked up and gazed at the other end of the hall.

Yan Dachui has already changed into a set of light armor.

Their eyes met, and the other person's facial muscles tensed for a moment before they lowered their head.

"I apologize for any offense I may have caused..."

Yan Dachui walked up to Ye Chen, adopting a very humble posture.

"I won't do that again, please forgive me."

Ye Chen did not respond immediately.

He clearly saw the look in Yan Dachui's eyes when he was relieved of his guard duties.

That's not someone who can easily back down.

However, this mission was personally arranged by the guild leader, and there was also a heavy knight from the Dawn Guild in the team.

Malicious attacks between guild members are prohibited.

The team members' vital signs will also be recorded throughout the mission.

Unless Yan Dachui decides not to stay in the Dawn Guild, he has no reason to take action.

"It's over."

Ye Chen put away the mission token.

"Just don't hold us back during the mission."

Yan Dachui's tense expression eased, and he nodded repeatedly.

"certainly."

The three quickly left the camp.

The Bone Maze is located in the northern part of the 89th loop, with its entrance buried beneath a gray-white wasteland.

The sky was low, and the wind carried fine sand and bone fragments.

Before the three of them left the safe zone, the heavy knight in charge of leading the group stopped.

He took a black metal box out of his backpack.

"According to training rules, all teleportation crystals must be handed in temporarily."

"Refunds will be issued after the mission is completed."

Ye Chen took the crystal from his waist and tossed it over.

Yan Dachui followed closely behind.

The three crystals were put into the box, and as the clasp closed, the metal box automatically entered the heavy knight's captain's backpack.

Yan Dachui looked at the backpack and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

The teleportation crystal was taken away, meaning that none of them could forcibly leave the maze area until the mission was over.

This was exactly what he wanted.

Ye Chen turned his head and looked over.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Yan Dachui patted his side.

"It feels strange not having a teleportation crystal anymore."

Ye Chen withdrew his gaze and did not pursue the matter further.

After the team entered the wasteland, Yan Dachui behaved very well.

When encountering small monsters, he would deliberately move forward to attract their aggro.

He will also fill in for the heavy knight when he is on defense.

Over the course of several hours, the initially tense atmosphere among the three gradually eased.

It was already dark when we arrived at the entrance to the maze.

The half-collapsed stone gate leaned against the wasteland, and a rotten smell kept emanating from inside.

The heavy knight glanced at the status bar.

"Rest outside for ten minutes."

"Once inside, there is no safe place to stand."

Yan Dachui immediately took off his backpack.

"I brought water and food."

He took out three water pouches from inside, first handing one to Ye Chen, and then tossing the other to the heavy knight.

Ye Chen took the water pouch but didn't drink it right away.

He first smelled it, then scanned it with his appraisal skill.

[Standard drinking water.]

No abnormal status detected.

Yan Dachui had already tilted his head back and taken a few sips.

The heavy knight also pulled out the stopper and gulped down the water.

Ye Chen watched their actions before taking a sip.

There were no abnormalities when the water was swallowed.

Just as he was about to put away the water pouch, his fingertips suddenly lost their strength.

The water bag slipped from his hand and fell into the bone sand.

Ye Chen immediately tried to draw his sword.

With just half an inch of arm raised, the numbness crept from the fingertips into the shoulder and then spread along the spine to the legs.

A line of scarlet notification popped up at the edge of the field of vision.

[An unknown toxin has entered the body.]

Neural connections are blocked.

[Abnormal status identification failed.]

Ye Chen's knee slammed into the ground.

He braced himself with his elbows to avoid collapsing completely.

A muffled thud came from not far away.

The heavy knight had already fallen backward.

"water……"

The heavy knight tried to grab his weapon, but his fingers could only twitch on the sand.

"The water is poisonous!"

Yan Dachui stood between the two men and casually tossed away the water pouch he had used.

He crouched down and took a thin antidote membrane from under his tongue.

The heavy knight's eyes widened.

"you……"

"Mr. Heavy Knight, I knew you were an idiot—you really are all brawn and no brains."
