He deliberately left an important person behind, maybe he was hiding somewhere waiting for Ye Qing to approach.

Thinking of this, Ye Qing simply took out a ring from the inventory and threw it towards the old man.

At the moment the ring was about to fall to the ground, Ye Qing rushed over and came directly to the old man.

Under the full acceleration, Ye Qing's figure was like a shadow flying close to the ground, leaving almost no time for people to react.

The ring fell to the ground, and a clear yellow barrier rose from the ground, covering the two of them.

"My friend, you are too cautious. The Luo family didn't kill me just because they wanted to torture me."

The old man's face had long been squeezed together with pain, and at this moment he was still trying to force a smile, which was somewhat horrifying.

But Ye Qing didn't care about this. After getting close to the old man, she directly launched a comprehensive detection technique.

According to the data fed back from the virtual interface, the old man was already a "dead man" with less than 1% of his health left.

Various debuffs on his body had already been stacked up, so Ye Qing didn't think it was strange even if he died on the spot.

The reason why he was still holding his breath was probably because of the only positive buff in the status bar.

"Haha, I want this..."

"To make it short, sir."

Ye Qing shook his head. The current situation could not be saved by consumables. Even the most advanced full recovery potion could only delay the situation for a few seconds at most.

Any further delay would only cause more torture to this dying man.

The old man also nodded, and he obviously knew that his fate was sealed.

"Since Mr. Li sent you instead of coming here in person, he was probably influenced by the Blood Alliance. It's a pity that the sacred tree has been dug up by them, and only the seeds are left in the incense burner."

He raised his arm with great effort and pointed towards the incense hall inside.

At this moment, Ye Qing noticed that there was a dug hole under the armchair, with some fragrant liquid still inside.

It is obvious that the place where the old man was originally staying was probably where the sacred tree was.

The Luo family wanted to kill him or something, so they deliberately put this old man in this position.

"My dear knight, this city...is in your hands."

The old man sighed. This was the last thing he could do.

Entrusting the city he had protected for many years to a "stranger", no matter how worried he was, it was not something he could decide.

Seeing the old man breathe his last, Ye Qing swallowed back the words that he had not yet said.

She really couldn't bear to tell the old man that at this moment, apart from the residents within Lao Li's barrier, there might not be a single living person left in the entire city.

Following the direction of the old man's finger, Ye Qing quickly came to the incense hall.

The surroundings were in such a mess, as if they had been looted by bandits. Not even a complete spirit tablet could be found, let alone the urns that had been smashed to pieces.

In this situation, the incense burner under my feet was able to escape damage, which was truly a blessing in disguise.

"Sacred trees, there aren't many that match my memory, which one could it be?"

Several options flashed through Ye Qing's mind quickly. It was a special prop that she had seen in her previous life, which could be called a sacred tree.

The Fusang tree of the east, the Kunlun tree, the immortal tree, the sea peach

The branches of these four sacred trees will become rewards for future guild wars. Their beneficial effects will allow players to have a powerful buff that will not be dispelled or fade away over time.

No matter which one you get, it will bring extremely powerful enhancement.

But Ye Qing didn't have such thoughts at the moment. After witnessing the tragic situation in the city with her own eyes, she just wanted to end this matter as soon as possible.

After pouring out the incense ash that had been accumulated for a long time, a soft ball as big as a walnut and as soft as jade fell into Ye Qing's hand.

The moment this sphere appeared, all the negative effects around it were eliminated, and the strong smell of blood disappeared completely.

The people who had died tragically in the mansion were also blown by this breath, and their originally hideous and painful faces gradually returned to calm.

“Is this the seed of the sacred tree?”

Ye Qing slowly picked up the seed, and saw a green breath suddenly sprouting from the seed, turning into "branches" and wrapping around Ye Qing's wrist.

Out of human instinct, Ye Qing subconsciously wanted to throw away the seeds in his hand.

However, thinking that this was the seed of the sacred tree, Ye Qing quickly stopped the thought, but as the branch spread upward, the evergreen tree rune on the inside of Ye Qing's arm also reacted.

This is......

The next moment, the branches that were constantly winding upwards completely dissipated, turning into emerald green mist that poured into the evergreen rune, adding a touch of green branches to the originally dark rune.

Before Ye Qing could react, the taskbar appeared in front of her.

Special Mission: Defending Heaven/Dancing with the Devil (Prologue)

Mission description: The souls of the sacrifices are overflowing, and the evil god will be born from the placenta of disaster. Whether to choose to uphold justice or fall into the evil path, everything depends on a single thought.

Mission Reward: Seed of the Sacred Tree (Incomplete)

Special Reward: Every time you kill/assist an evil god creature, you will gain 5% of the player's current experience, and the probability of dropping the current rare item will be increased by 0.1%.

(Tip: This task can be shared, and all shared players will receive secondary task rewards.)

Wow, this gives me room for choice?

Ye Qing smiled. Although there seemed to be no suspense about which side she would choose, she still had expectations for such a task.

As the saying goes, unknown things are often the most attractive. It’s not that Ye Qing has to choose the so-called right path, but she prefers this choice.

If conditions permit, it is not impossible for her to choose the so-called magic path.

After decisively accepting the task, Ye Qing bowed slightly to the old man, turned around and left the City Lord's Mansion.

"Everyone, I will now share a secondary task with you. It is up to you whether to accept it or not."

As Ye Qing's voice sounded again in the team channel, everyone present couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then they saw the task shared in front of them.

"Kill one each...Captain Ye, where did you get such an incredible mission?"

Seeing the mission reward in front of him, Gao Yu couldn't help but take a breath.

"Then will you accept it or not..."

"Answer it, answer it, how can we not answer it? Sister Ye, we will definitely answer it!"

Li Yue who was standing next to her was envious. As a mage, what she lacked most was levels. How could she not take such a good task?

Even those high-rarity missions that Longyin had completed before only rewarded a large amount of experience at one time, which was a guarantee.

But now Ye Qing’s task is not just a guaranteed minimum, but it has infinitely raised the upper limit of the reward. The more you have, the more rewards you will get. Killing twenty of them is as easy as pie!

Everyone present clicked the accept button one after another, but the Zhao sisters were already used to this kind of thing.

Anyway, Ye Qing can always find some outrageous tasks from strange places.

Chapter 59: The Evil God's Creation

"By the way, I would like to remind you that there will be new high-value dangerous targets on the field, so please be careful."

This time, Ye Qing's voice rang in their ears, and everyone present immediately raised their heads, only to see a figure leaping over and jumping directly into the crowd.

The person who came was none other than Ye Qing.

Ye Qing's sudden appearance startled the three people in Longyin. The voice in the voice channel just now was still very far away, but now it was already in front of them.

How fast is this person running at full speed now?

This is not something that can be ignored. The two teams will be competing in the near future. If we can judge Ye Qing's speed from this...

"Don't even think about it. If this speed is only due to skills, then her basic speed is already extremely exaggerated."

Wu Yonghe typed quickly in his own channel, reminding the two people who were still looking around.

Judging from this alone, Ye Qing's speed would have allowed him to take off on the spot long ago.

But having said that, Wu Yonghe still unconsciously stole a glance at Ye Qing.

She has become stronger in such a short time? The speed she showed in the last individual competition, even if it was the speed within the dungeon, was too fast for reference.

Suspecting cheating is fine, but before this, countless people suspected Ye Qing of cheating, but didn’t he still pass the test and participate in the competition normally?

Players may not have the real means to detect, but the authorities will not be lenient in this regard.

"Manying, are you okay?"

Ye Qing came down and swung up Zhongshi, directly sweeping away a large number of corpses that were trying to surround him.

Or to be more precise, these things should now be called the creations of evil gods.

"It's okay, it's just that these things are becoming more and more difficult to deal with. We can't stay here any longer, right?"

Zhao Manying wiped her cheek, raised the golden dagger in her hand and released a soft light again.

As a traditional warrior job, the only amplification she could provide to her teammates should be skills like battle cry.

And these sacred blessing skills come from the effects of the suits she wears.

Although we need to keep it secret as much as possible for the team battle later, now is not the time to keep it secret.

"It's really not possible... We have to take the initiative."

Ye Qing nodded. She looked around and saw dense crowds of evil creatures rushing towards them.

Originally, everyone was supposed to be in the square at the end of the street, but with the collapse caused by the earthquake, the surrounding terrain also changed.

The ruins all around gradually "piled" up the square, so that everyone was now at the top of a small slope.

"When these things move slowly, we can still rely on the terrain to defend. If we stay here without a priest, I'm afraid our endurance will not be able to keep up."

Wu Yonghe rarely spoke, and he continued to fire at the surroundings, not even slacking off when changing bullets.

Everyone went from coping with it easily in the beginning to struggling to maintain it now.

Ammunition may not be a problem, but the loss of skills and health points will have to be compensated by medicines.

It was not until this moment that everyone realized that they had underestimated the population of a city.

"And after Captain Ye arrived, those things seemed to get even crazier..."

Gao Yu felt a little embarrassed when he said this, because it sounded like he was making excuses for himself.

But the offensive of the evil gods and creatures around them was indeed getting more and more fierce. The firepower suppression of the crowd was already quite effective, but it was still inevitable that some of the evil gods and creatures would advance to their sides.

At this moment of distraction, the evil god-like creature that looked like a little giant had rushed to Li Yue, raised its huge fist and smashed towards Li Yue.

"Xiaoyue!!"

Wu Yonghe was unable to free himself for a moment, and Gao Yu had no time to reload the rifle in his hand.

At the critical moment, Ye Qing's figure suddenly appeared beside Li Yue, and the dark hammer smashed directly towards the little giant's fist.

The collision of the two huge forces made a dull sound in the air.

With a howl, the entire arm of the little giant was smashed to pieces, and Ye Qing clenched his hands tightly, and with a sudden force, he flipped the little giant over.

"Li Yue, dark vortex!"

After hearing the command from the temporary channel, Li Yue was stunned for a moment, then immediately raised the staff in his hand and swung a dark vortex towards the little giant.

This is just a basic dark skill, but it actually plays a great role at this moment.

The little giant's body was large enough to increase the adaptability range of his skills, which turned the opponent into a rolling snowball, directly clearing out the evil god's creations along the way.

"Follow me, we are heading towards the City Lord's Mansion now. If you fall behind, try to run through the ruins instead of taking the main road."

Ye Qing briefly explained the next plan to everyone. After the little giant rolled over, some of the evil creatures began to get up again.

During the brief battle just now, they noticed that the situation around them was becoming increasingly serious.

As they fought off these corpses several times, everyone naturally began to notice the changes in their bodies.

Even if headshots are no longer able to kill subsequent evil creatures, their heads will still be restored and their bodies will even be strengthened.

The muscles that had bulged due to strengthening had begun to break through the skin, causing these people who had not been dead for long to bleed profusely, making them look even more terrifying.

"These things are going to get stronger again. Fortunately, there is no adaptive resistance, otherwise our team would be in big trouble."

Looking at those evil creatures that got up again, Gao Yu couldn't help but complain.

This is much more difficult to deal with than the zombies in horror movies!
