Reborn as a beautiful girl, I want to be the best in the world

The clear yellow pupils had completely disappeared, as if the horrific scenes just now had never happened.

Ye Qing sighed deeply. The completion of the exclusive mission was certainly gratifying, but he felt it was a pity that this mission might be buried in the shadows.

Everyone entered the sea again and slowly left the underwater ruins under the escort of the mermaid youth.

It was not until everyone surfaced that the underground ruins began to move. A violent tremor suddenly came from below, and everyone on the sea felt the movement in the sea.

"what happened?!"

As one wave of troubles came another, the frightened Xiaoyan immediately took out his weapon. He even looked around vigilantly before he had time to get on the boat, and as a result, his mouth was filled with sea water.

Qin Fangyue was quite smart. She cast several ice spells around everyone, temporarily freezing the sea surface and creating a platform for everyone to temporarily support their bodies.

Those who had not yet come up quickly stabbed the ice with their weapons and steadied themselves in front of the sweeping waves.

Even the ship on the sea began to shake, and the NPC crew members on it hurriedly grabbed everything they could around them, hoping not to be thrown off.

However, the tremor did not last long, and the sea surface gradually returned to calm.

The frightened crowd hurriedly got on the boat, and then Zhao Xin simply turned into the sea again and rushed to the location where the underwater ruins were just located.

As a result, it had not flown far before it was forced back by the debris and bubbles rising from the seabed, and it could not go any deeper.

What was even more troublesome was the energy that was escaping. Even though Zhao Xin reacted quickly, he was still hit on the shoulder by the light that shot up from the sea, and he quickly turned around and flew back.

"Set sail! Get out of here! Fangyue, Anjie, protect the hull, don't let those forces penetrate the ship!"

Ye Qing was helpless at the moment and could only keep trying to block the light with the sword in his hand.

Blocking naturally cannot stop this type of damage, but using the elemental blade after the magic sword descends can more or less neutralize or react to those elements.

The sword blade wrapped in lightning continued to split the light, but it could only do this much and was unable to block the light at the bottom.

The reason why such dense light has not penetrated the ship for the time being is partly because Zhao Xin below is still firing continuously with a sniper rifle.

Qin Fangyue's ice armor fell on the ship, followed by Angel's holy light barrier. Such a large-scale coverage of mages naturally increased the consumption of mana.

But under the cover of two layers of spells, the ship left the sea area at an extremely fast speed, and everyone saw the increasingly dense light behind them.

Zhao Xin also grabbed the bottom of the bed in time, and quickly left, then relied on the aircraft to get back on the ship.

"What's going on? Wasn't the mission completed? Why is there still such a scene?"

Angel looked at the light rising into the sky. The entire sea surface even evaporated due to the power of the light and began to emit layers of thick steam.

If such a terrifying power had erupted when everyone was still in the ruins, I'm afraid no one would be able to escape the impact of the light.

Fortunately, the light showed no signs of expanding. After a while after it shot up into the sky, it gradually disappeared, and even a huge hole appeared on the sea level.

"Go! Don't stop here!"

As if realizing something, Zhao Manying suddenly widened her eyes and quickly gave orders to the NPC crew members.

Soon, even the team members who did not realize why understood why Zhao Manying had such a reaction.

Just above the huge hole created by the light beam, water drops began to pour down like a rainstorm, and the surrounding sea water also began to flow into the hole.

The waves that were attracted over have now turned into a huge whirlpool. If one is sucked into the center of the whirlpool, the consequences are self-evident.

The people who had just escaped the light now had to flee again in a hurry. The ship finally managed to go against the backflow of waves and run far enough to avoid being sucked into the hole.

This was the first time that everyone in Xingchen was forced to flee for their lives due to mission-related factors while on a mission together.

Coupled with the strange situation on the seabed, everyone present fell silent.

Although the two people who had been on the boat saw the news in the team channel, they had no idea what was happening below.

It was not until the return voyage that Zhao Manying asked Huangfu Wenning about what had happened. Ye Qing also listened to the story of the mermaid youth.

However, Huangfu Wen Ning still avoided the name "Ye Zhi" so as not to cause Ye Qing unnecessary worries.

But after hearing this story, Ye Qing sighed with emotion.

"From now on, I'm afraid we will never find that underwater ruin again."

Ye Qing felt very regretful. Why did he neglect this matter? Why didn't he ask the mermaid youth before going in?

If she had listened to the story at that time, she would probably have been able to make corresponding judgments and actions. Even if the final result was not like this, at least the underwater ruins could have been preserved.

As a result, even though I thought I was smart, I was also attracted by the huge ruins and everything inside, like a blind spot.

"Why is this happening?"

Zhao Manying was a little puzzled. If it was just based on that story, Ye Qing would not be able to make such a judgment.

Is there anything else they missed?

The three of them were sitting on the edge of the bow at this moment. Ye Qing felt the gentle sea breeze and the light salty smell of the sea water, and at this moment he breathed a long sigh of relief.

How many crazy secrets are hidden beneath this refreshing sea surface?

"What I'm going to say next is just my reasonable speculation based on the plot."

Ye Qing turned around and combined his own experience down there and gave his inference.

"From the very beginning, in the maze of ruins, searching for the so-called artifacts created by our ancestors, it should just be a screening process."

This exclusive equipment is certainly precious, but judging from the way it is assembled and the results, what the mission performer really wants to see is the hidden clue.

The things found on the surface can be combined, and even the combined ones can form decent weapons.

But only by finding the actual core, the cross with the "pupil" gem, can it be assembled into the Deep Blue Darkness.

“From the very beginning of the mission, we have been emphasizing the core. Only when we find the core can we find the key to solving the problem. However, over-emphasizing it means cutting off other paths.”

Ye Qing sighed. Such extreme tasks were rare to her. Only in extremely difficult tasks would such operations with extremely strict requirements for thinking and completion appear.

This is in conflict with the core of divine fantasy, which emphasizes freedom. Under normal circumstances, there should be a variety of ways to complete tasks.

It was like returning to an old game. Although there were countless hints, everything was just a trick.

"The Temple of Life that we entered later also had these elements hidden inside. The light, the sound, even the isolated arena, and the huge monster body were all used to conceal the core existence."

At that time on the dome, Ye Qing and others' guess was actually correct. The Temple of Life was the hidden core, but everyone's attention was initially attracted by the terrifying combat power.

Hamita of the Abyss, with his oppressive feeling and powerful fighting ability, shifted everyone's attention to how to deal with him.

Although everyone later realized that its powerful recovery ability and the so-called "molting" effect were related to the Temple of Life, it was too late.

Xiaoyan's strength was not enough to support the transition to the third stage, and the oppressive feeling from the surroundings at that time made his nerves almost break.

"Then let's go to the last temple. Just as the young mermaid said, the entire temple and he himself are already carriers of the curse. So when we enter the temple, we are already diving into the curse."

The pile of bones underground, the huge pupils, the space filled with evil atmosphere, all of them are no match for the story of the mermaid youth.

The liberation he mentioned at the end was probably the last clue hidden in the story at that time, but what made Ye Qing more concerned was the woman in black mentioned by the mermaid youth.

In Hero's memory, she had mentioned that in that underground laboratory, the transformation that Mr. Roland had not completed was completed by a woman in black.

"In the previous mission, a mysterious woman in black was also mentioned. I don't know if there is any connection between the two, but the answer must be her."

Ye Qing shook his head with regret. When these clues were connected together, it was like a person looking for a way in the fog finally saw the lights.

However, before the person seeking the way could touch the light, he found that he had already passed it by.

"So...it could be a large-scale mission?"

Zhao Manying looked at the two people in front of her, and for a moment she couldn't help but feel a little excited about their possible mission.

"If there is a real connection, the exclusive missions might not be enough."

Ye Qing smiled and nodded. Since she missed it, she would not force it. There would always be another chance in the future.

Chapter 41 The individual competition begins

After completing their exclusive tasks, everyone returned to the guild base. They were exhausted from all the hard work, so they naturally went offline to rest. Only Ye Qing stayed behind for the time being.

She sat alone in the conference room, watching the video on the large screen next to her for review.

From beginning to end, I reviewed the surroundings from every angle I could see, for fear that I might have missed something.

Although she told her teammates not to take it to heart, it was impossible for Ye Qing herself to really not take it to heart.

Ye Qing sat quietly in front of the screen, constantly recording potentially useful information in the notebook in his hand, and circled the word "woman in black".

This information is beginning to appear in more and more missions, and it has never existed before. It is obviously a brand new mission clue, and it may even be a heavyweight figure.

"Captain Ye, are you still awake?"

While Ye Qing was still watching the video, the door of the conference room behind him was pushed open and Qin Fangyue walked in with a drink in her hand.

She probably didn't expect that there would be someone in the meeting room at this time, and she was a little scared when she saw Ye Qing.

"Well, I'll go take a rest in a while, sit down?"

Ye Qing smiled and pulled out the chair next to her, while pausing the video playing on the screen.

She has almost finished watching the process of today's task. Next, she can watch some game videos and then take a rest.

With the start of the individual competition, the players' schedules have become more tight, and each team has to re-plan various activities.

Although the contestants were more tired, the audience generally enjoyed it more.

You may have just finished watching a team competition in the morning, and then watch individual competitions of different players in the afternoon and evening. This also gives many players with better personal abilities the opportunity to perform.

Naturally, many players and their fans had some opinions about the team competition before, and felt that the team competition still buried them.

"Captain Ye, you have your individual competition tomorrow, don't you want to rest early?"

Qin Fangyue sat down next to Ye Qing, and at the same time a video was playing on the screen, which was a video of the games of several well-known players compiled by the coaching room.

Especially for the opponents that the Xingchen people are about to face, Li Xuan spent a lot of effort to review the situation, and then made it into a video and released it.

Qin Fangyue did not go down today, but discussed the current competition environment with Zhao Manying upstairs and gained some new insights.

"I'll check the other players' information. You see, I have to play against Long Yin's front row players tomorrow, so I have to do some more homework."

Ye Qing's eyes were also focused on the screen at this moment. Looking at the performance of Bai Xun, the front-row player of Long Yin, in the game, he had already started to think of ways to deal with her.

Of course, she had played against Bai Xun in the past individual competitions, but she didn't have a deep impression of Bai Xun at that time.

To put it bluntly, Ye Qing was quite "crazy" at that time.

No wonder, to be able to make it to the top, one must have some capital to be crazy.

As for now, Ye Qing has of course restrained his temperament and will give his best to every player he faces.

"Is she very strong? Captain Ye, why do you care so much about her?"

Qin Fangyue took a sip of her drink and watched Bai Xun's actions on the screen with some curiosity. In her opinion, Bai Xun's level was not as good as Zhao Manying's.

Of course, there is some "favoritism" among teammates, but Zhao Manying's strength among the front-line players is unquestionable.

Not to mention her ranking on the Legend List, the protection and support capabilities demonstrated by Zhao Manying in several team competitions are definitely at the T1 level.

Many teams have already begun trying to contact Zhao Manying and tried to recruit her into their team, among which naturally was Yaoxing, who had not had a good relationship with everyone before.

"It would be an exaggeration to say that she is not strong, but to say whether she can win..."

Ye Qing smiled and shook her head. She did not say the next words, leaving it to Qin Fangyue to figure out.

The fact that she is the only "myth" who can defeat all the professional players and that she was unable to defeat Ye Qing in the last round of challenges is enough to show her strength.

As for this match, naturally, more people are optimistic about Ye Qing. To put it bluntly, in some handicaps, the odds of Bai Xun winning have reached more than 20.

This basically shows that they are not optimistic about Bai Xun. In fact, even within Longyin, everyone also tacitly agrees that only Wu Yonghe can fight with Ye Qing.

"Okay, I won't keep you any longer, let's all go upstairs and rest."

Ye Qing patted Qin Fangyue's shoulder, turned off the screen in the conference room, and stood up to leave.

The two walked out of the conference room together, but what they didn't notice was that just at the moment they left, there seemed to be a black figure standing in the conference room.

----------

The next morning, Ye Qing, well prepared, entered the room set up by officials, waiting for the competition to begin.

The preset scene of this single-player competition is the most familiar bloody arena. The two contestants will wait in the rooms on both sides first.

Countless players and contestants gathered in front of the live broadcast room. Players who wanted to go online conveniently also sat down in the seats above the arena, looking forward to the entry of the two contestants.

Cheers have echoed in the stadium. Of course, the enthusiastic voices are not only from the NPCs, but also from the players who are cheering for both sides.

Today is the battle between Longyin and Xingchen. Although it is not a direct fight between the two teams, it is also a battle between core figures.

Amid such cheers, Bai Xun's breathing couldn't help but become heavy, but Ye Qing even hummed a little tune in a relaxed manner.
