The next moment, those tiny slits opened instantly, and countless yellow pupils stared at Huangfu Wen Ning.

Such a strange sight made Huangfu Wen Ning grasp the hilt of the knife almost instantly, but the mermaid youth immediately restored his arm to normal, and those hideous yellow pupils were forcibly closed.

All the people in the world who were illuminated by the light underwent changes. Some of them may have lost their human appearance and turned into a mass of meat that could not move.

What's worse is that it has turned into a violent monster, with an endless thirst for flesh and blood, constantly devouring everything around it.

And this is not just a region, it is happening all over the world.

In the beginning, the problem could be solved by force, but later, when most people turned into ghosts, the merman youth could no longer solve the problem.

"The final method is for us to ask that person, and the answer she gave is everything you see before your eyes."

The mermaid youth grabbed the trident in his hand and pointed it at the huge temple beside him.

The moment the trident pointed at the temple, bursts of clear yellow light appeared on the surface of the trident, and several ferocious eyes opened at the same time on the entire trident.

The mermaid statue in front of the temple began to shed tears of blood, and its ferocious eyes also opened.

Suddenly, a sound like sobbing was heard in the temple, which was creepy.

"Transfer all the blessings to me alone, and then build a temple. According to her, it is to form a so-called small world with the battlefield and the human body, so that it can confuse the sight of the being behind the door."

The merman youth sighed helplessly, this was his last resort.

The temple was built with great difficulty, and there were almost no available people around him. The young man injected countless blood into his body and forced himself to sink into the sea with the temple and those infected people.

And what finally took effect was the current mermaid bloodline.

After hearing this story, Huangfu Wenning was silent for a while.

If what the mermaid youth said was true, then all the strange phenomena in the temple now seemed to be explainable.

Just as Huangfu Wen Ning was thinking this, the prompt that the task was completed appeared in front of everyone.

Whether it was Anjie who was still exploring, or Ye Qing and Zhao Xin who were studying the patterns below, they all couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.

Mission accomplished? How?

Even Ye Qing couldn't help but feel a little surprised at this moment, and quickly asked a question in the team channel.

"The mission is completed. How was it completed? Who completed it?"

"I'll tell you the details later. Is there anything else we need to find? Let's withdraw first?"

Huangfu Wen Ning responded at the same time in the team channel. She looked at the environment around her that had quietly changed, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

The entire temple seemed to be half alive. The stone pillars seemed to be twisted as if with life. The mermaid statue was crying blood and its densely packed pupils were constantly flashing.

This horrifying scene made one's scalp tingle. Huangfu Wen Ning wanted to leave this damn place as soon as possible. The oppressive feeling made her unable to bear it anymore.

If the previous enclosed space just made her feel suffocated, then the scene before her made her feel nauseous.

"Okay, we'll evacuate right away. I don't think you've encountered any problems over there, have you?"

Ye Qing nodded to Zhao Xin beside him, and then both of them rushed out from the space below.

Regarding this confusing task, Ye Qing really wanted to know how it was completed, and what was hidden behind this mysterious temple.

Xiaoyan, who was standing above, was naturally guarding here diligently. He had been guarding here for so long and had not found anything unusual.

"What about Anjie? Where is she now?"

Ye Qing looked around and did not notice the light released by Anjie's barrier.

Chapter 39

"Captain Ye, I'm here."

Angel's voice suddenly came from behind them, and everyone looked over there, but this glance scared everyone to death.

Angel was seen jogging over with the holy light barrier on her head, but she found that everyone was looking at her with extreme vigilance.

This also scared Anjie. Seeing Ye Qing showing such a serious expression, she must have something here.

She did not rush to speak, but wisely kept a certain distance from everyone, and quickly sent a voice message in the team channel.

"Sister Ye Qing, do I have anything on me?"

After seeing the information in the team channel, Ye Qing simply took a screenshot of Angel's current condition and then posted it to the team channel.

Xiaoyan, who was standing next to her, swallowed his throat, took out his sickle, and stared at Anjie's back with extreme vigilance.

Angel's body couldn't help but stiffen at the crowd's actions. It was obvious that there was something behind her, and her actions might trigger it.

Taking this situation into consideration, Anjie was very cautious when opening the virtual interface.

It wasn't until she saw the pictures posted in the team channel that she felt completely weakened.

It was a huge, clear yellow pupil, floating in the darkness, quietly staring at Anjie's back.

But even though the clear yellow pupil was so huge, the "light" it emitted did not illuminate the surrounding darkness at all, and the pupil would change position as Anjie moved.

The pupil was always behind Anjie, or to be more precise, out of Anjie's sight, which was why she couldn't find any signs for so long.

Otherwise, if you are a normal person, even if it doesn't matter how long someone has been following you, as long as there is visual attention, your senses will bring some feedback.

But Anjie never did that, and returned to everyone as if nothing had happened.

"What should I do?"

She typed out these three words fearfully, looking at the people in front of her, not knowing what to do.

If you leave now, that's a solution. After you log off, you'll be teleported back to the main city. Naturally, you don't have to worry about this thing watching you from behind.

"Don't be anxious, take your time, let's keep this state and exit the temple first."

Ye Qing spoke decisively in the team channel, and at the same time signaled the two people beside him to slowly back away, and not even to turn around in a hurry.

No one knows whether this pupil will cause any other effects, even maintaining this subtle confrontation.

I'm afraid that the moment I turn my head, this thing will suddenly attack me or do something else.

Just like that, in this weird atmosphere, Ye Qing and the other two slowly retreated, while Anjie tried to maintain a similar speed as she walked forward.

Huangfu Wenning, who was outside, was also stunned after seeing the picture. He wanted to ask the mermaid youth in front of him for help, but when he thought of the abnormal power he had just displayed, he gave up this plan.

She was already standing on the side of the main entrance of the temple, quietly waiting for her teammates to exit the temple.

One minute, two minutes... five minutes, eight minutes. After eight full minutes had passed, Huangfu Wenning could vaguely hear the footsteps of the crowd.

Under normal circumstances, let alone eight minutes, even five minutes would be too slow in a place where one can accelerate. This just shows that the situation everyone is facing is quite dangerous.

thump, thump, thump

A sound like a huge hammer hitting the ground came from the temple. Huangfu Wenning immediately tightened the hilt of the knife, but the mermaid youth opposite him still looked calm.

He didn't even open his eyes, but just sat cross-legged quietly on the spot, with the trident still standing beside him.

This made Huangfu Wen Ning doubt the intentions of the young merman, and at the same time he became more worried about the fate of Ye Qing and others.

"Huangfu... help pick someone up."

Ye Qing's voice rang out from the team channel. Before Huangfu Wenning could open her mouth to ask questions, she was seen dragging two figures, retreating out of the temple with heavy steps.

At this moment, she was already sweating profusely, and the Longyuan battle robe on her body was already wet with sweat, and even dripped onto the ground from the cuffs.

Such a scene naturally made Huangfu Wen Ning rush forward. She quickly took one of them from Ye Qing and instinctively looked up.

"Sister Huangfu, don't look up!"

Anjie, who was standing beside her, suddenly shouted, causing Huangfu Wenning, who was about to raise his head, to freeze suddenly. He didn't even dare to move for a moment.

Ye Qing looked quite tired. She couldn't explain anything anymore. She just silently dragged Zhao Xin and continued to retreat behind her.

Only Anjie slowly walked forward, helped lift Xiaoyan, and walked out with Huangfu Wenning.

Thanks to the reminders from the two, Huangfu Wenning behaved like a "good boy" at this moment. He held up Xiaoyan with both hands from below, and at the same time bent over and retreated like Ye Qing.

"Sister Huangfu, did you see the picture just now?"

"I've seen it. What's going on? Why is Ye Zi in this state? And are Xiao Xin and Xiao Yan being controlled?"

Huangfu Wen Ning had felt creepy about the picture before, and now seeing everyone appearing like this, her guess was confirmed.

She was also worried that the mermaid youth next to her would stand up and attack her, but he just sat calmly on the ground, even mumbling something, as if he was chanting something.

"It should be a problem with that eye. Just now, when they were retreating, Captain Ye and his team were staring at that eye. As a result, after a distance, they felt the pressure..."

While retreating, although he did not record the approximate distance in detail, Ye Qing suddenly felt the pressure after retreating more than ten steps.

It was as if the air around me became heavier and my body began to feel the weight as well.

Xiaoyan, who noticed this, volunteered to look away and try to see if he could. Maybe the pressure would disappear and it wouldn't be so hard for everyone to withdraw.

"As a result, Xiaoyan was controlled as soon as he looked away, and he was temporarily banned from the team channel as before. Then Xiaoxin was also banned. Xiaoxin also acted subconsciously, and ended up like this as well."

Angel walked out of the temple carefully. She didn't even dare to look back. She picked up the staff and cast blessing and purification spells on the two fallen people.

The dazzling holy light just fell on the two people and then suddenly burst apart. The clear yellow light flashed on Zhao Xin and Xiao Yan's bodies, as if it was some kind of curse entangled them.

However, using the social software that comes with the virtual warehouse, the two people who fainted can still send messages, but it will be a little slower.

Only after everyone was completely taken away from the temple did the temple door automatically close slowly with a dull sound, and the terrifying huge pupil finally disappeared.

Ye Qing sat down on the ground immediately. She couldn't help but breathe heavily. Only the sweat on her body explained what had just happened.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself, thinking back to the thousand-pound pressure that had just been applied to her, and she felt like she was about to fall apart.

"Too, too outrageous..."

Before this, Ye Qing had never encountered a BOSS that only gave pressure but did not take any other actions.

It might not be accurate to call it a BOSS, because this thing didn't even launch an attack, so the system's hostility mark didn't even appear.

The pressure seemed to come out of thin air. There was no abnormal status icon in Ye Qing's status bar, and his own attributes did not change.

This terrible experience made Ye Qing recall the giant wolf made up of doomsday memory fragments that he encountered in the underground palace.

The young merman walked forward slowly. He said "excuse me" to Huangfu Wenning and Anjie, and then, regardless of whether they agreed or not, he stretched out his trident and swung it at the two fallen people.

The clear yellow light that was wrapped around them suddenly began to tremble violently. After a fierce "struggle", the light broke apart and floated into the closed temple.

"...To be honest, I don't want to stay in this damn place any longer."

When Xiaoyan opened his eyes, his lifeless voice suddenly came from the team channel, as if it had been drained of energy.

The two people who fell down immediately turned over and stood up. Both Xiaoyan and Zhao Xin looked unhappy.

Although their characters fainted just now, they were actually in a situation where they could operate the virtual interface, but everything around them was dark.

It is no less than locking someone up in a pitch-dark room. If it weren't for the system, the two of them might have developed some problems.

"Then let's go. This place is indeed full of weird places. The few people we have now are definitely not enough."

Ye Qing nodded, then turned and looked at the merman youth.

This existence who knows everything from the beginning to the end but keeps silent about it should be the key to solving the mystery around us.

It was a pity that due to the mission, she couldn't know more.

"What a pity, Guardian, it seems that you are not the one to give us relief after all."

The young merman sighed softly, but there was not much emotion in his eyes when he looked at Xiaoyan. He still described him as usual.

This perfunctory and unclear attitude makes people feel helpless.

It seemed like giving Xiaoyan these equipments was just a side job, and the subsequent tasks were actually the highlight. However, the exclusive tasks were so eye-catching that everyone's attention was focused on them.

"Can you get us out of here now? I think it's time for us to leave."

Xiaoyan took the initiative to step forward and speak. It was obvious that the three dark minutes just now had made his scalp tingle.

Chapter 40 The Woman in Black

"Of course, please come with me."

The young mermaid nodded and waved the trident in his hand again. Several water bridges rose up again beside the cliffs on both sides.

Anyway, he has already obtained the exclusive equipment, so there is no need to torture himself in this place. After experiencing the weird scene just now, he really doesn't care about any extra rewards.

If it weren't for what just happened, he might have been able to continue holding on.

Even as everyone caught up, Ye Qing turned his head and looked at the temple behind him.
