[Jiang Ling]: Luckily I didn't sleep too long and made it to this battle. Is this the unspoken understanding between old friends? It's so awesome!

[Tang Yunxi]: Lanlan and Yewang are certainly very strong, but we've also witnessed the incredible teamwork between you two siblings firsthand.

[Jiang Yao]: Thank you.

[Qin Shaoyu]: I dislike Zhao Feirong the most, and I've been hoping he'd die soon. Sure enough, he's the first one to die. Serves him right!

[Shen Yubai]: Actually, this ranged archer is quite difficult to deal with, especially tonight he has a huge advantage in terms of terrain and mechanics. Anyone else would definitely have been ambushed by him.

[Wu Ying]: It seems the captain and the jungler are both injured. Are they alright?

[Yan Zhao]: Sigh, I'm not sure about the jungler, but the captain seems pretty excited. Another round should be enough.

[Jiang Ling]: Who are you hitting?

[Qin Shaoyu]: Holy crap, how come there's another one hiding at the top of that tree? It's that female player surnamed Yu, our captain's starting to call roll!

……

Yu Qing is the girl with exaggerated perm curls, a hippie style of dress, who seems rebellious but is actually quite cautious.

She had just reached Grandmaster Level 4 this month, and before she could even warm up to her new rank, she received a kill order for Ling Ye.

—Hahahaha, the system invited me to kill the jungle king. Does it misunderstand me? I'm not a strength-based player. Even if the jungle king has been nerfed, it's hard for me to fight him with a knife...Eh?

She was telling her teammates about it as a joke when, by accident, she clicked "agree".

Logically speaking, she should have just placed the order. She thought that the system had issued a wide invitation this time, and only a few players would ultimately enter the game, so it was unlikely that she would be randomly selected.

As a result, ho ho.

Upon receiving the notification from the bureau, she nearly slit her throat with the fruit knife she used to cut fruit.

I won't go into details about what happened next, since everyone already knows.

Today, Yu Qing and Zhao Feirong chose the Secret Forest route together. They walked along the dense forest to the lakeside at the end, but did not find anything special, only some strangely colored fruits.

Worried that the fruit might be poisonous, the two didn't dare to eat it. Zhao Feirong thought that this place couldn't be that simple, and that important clues and props would probably only appear after dark, so he decided to come back again at night.

In order to pass through smoothly, Yu Qing naturally had to come along, but as soon as the bone vine appeared, she separated from Zhao Feirong and busied herself with escaping for her life.

Her skill is called "Lightning Trick," which allows her to move at high speeds, ignoring obstacles. She can traverse various complex environments with ease, like a cheetah.

These bone vines were very difficult to deal with, and her five senses were also affected. At first, she flew around like a headless fly, and she was injured along the way.

However, given her speed, and the fact that being at a high position could temporarily cause the bone vine to lose its target, she continued to swing back and forth at the top of the tree.

It wasn't until she belatedly realized something was wrong that Yi Zanglan and Ling Ye had also arrived there.

By the time she tried to get closer to check the situation, the outcome of the battle was already decided, and she happened to witness Yi Zanglan piercing Zhao Feirong's head.

...and then she was called out.

With things having come to this point, hiding wasn't an option, so Yu Qing had no choice but to jump down from the treetop and ask the question, forcing herself to be brave.

"So, you two are on the same team?"

"To achieve our goals, we always need some tactics," Yi Zanglan replied calmly. "First, we need to eliminate all the competitors, and then I'll be left to reap the rewards—that annoying Zhao fellow is dead, and now it's your turn."

"No, no! To be honest, I never intended to compete. I just accidentally clicked the wrong button and had terrible luck getting pulled into this by the system." Yu Qing explained in detail, "After all, I just reached the Grandmaster rank, left my old team, and joined a new team with a great atmosphere. I even recently moved to a new place. There's no need for me to accept some kind of kill order at such a happy time and come here to compete with a bunch of experts for the jungle king's kill—I don't think I have that ability. I'm just good at escaping, not at killing!"

She decided to communicate with utmost sincerity. After all, the two people standing opposite her were covered in blood and had cold eyes, like the Black and White Impermanence who were about to arrest her. Moreover, her skills needed to cool down, so she would have absolutely no chance of winning in a direct confrontation.

Yi Zanglan calmly examined her for a moment, remaining silent as if deep in thought.

Which new team did you switch to?

"Uh, is that important?" Yu Qing didn't quite understand, but still answered honestly, "The Spring Water Team, my captain and teammates should be watching this match right now."

Yi Zanglan raised an eyebrow slightly and nodded slowly: "Your captain is named Ouyang Yu, a boomerang enthusiast. She also has a virtuous childhood sweetheart named Zhang Nan."

"...How did you know!"

"We've worked together before." Yi Zanglan sighed and sheathed his dagger. "Captain Ouyang has good judgment in recruiting team members. I won't make things difficult for her people. You can leave now and get out of my sight."

Yu Qing was surprised that her new captain was so influential. She looked surprised, but her legs had already moved forward.

"Then I won't disturb you two any longer, I'll go first..."

"While everyone relies on their own abilities to pass the level, it's your freedom to do what you want," Yi Zanglan added calmly, "but Miss Yu, reveal as little information as possible tonight, and it's best if I don't see you forming an alliance with the others—believe me, that won't do you any good."

Yu Qing was startled and quickly stated, "Don't worry, I just want to pass the level smoothly and won't take sides—of course, if you need anything, I'm not afraid to help out."

"Thank you, Miss Yu."

"polite!"

Before she finished speaking, Yu Qing quickly turned around and disappeared into the depths of the dense forest.

For a moment, only Yi Zanglan and Ling Ye remained in place. She glanced down at the system interface and found that the values ​​had indeed changed.

[Faith in the God of Life: 80]

[Follower [Yi Zanglan]'s Spirit Value: 70]

For now, surviving the pursuit of the Bone Vine should correspondingly increase your Faith Points.

If faith points are deducted from spirit points, then her current faith points should be 30, so how did they become 80?

The most reasonable explanation is that the extra 50 faith points came from the deceased Zhao Feirong.

Killing other believers allows you to plunder their faith points; or the act of killing itself can increase faith points.

Regardless of the method, there's now another way to increase faith points.

"Does the God of Life need to increase faith through killing?"

Yi Zanglan whispered something, then turned her head to check Ling Ye's system interface.

Unexpectedly, Ling Ye, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly collapsed forward due to his weak knees.

He stuck his sword into the ground to support his body, his face deathly pale, and suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
