Shelar was walking alone on the path in the Spirit Forest.
The thick hemp rope still bound her hands tightly, and Shelar was no longer in the mood to untie the rope.
Occasionally, one or two players would pass by on the trail in the Spirit Forest and see an NPC tied up with hemp rope wandering on the road. She was a pretty girl, so they naturally surrounded her and asked if there were any side quests.
But when they were halfway through the questioning, these players shook their heads helplessly and left.
We have to find a way to get the protection of a Holy Spirit. More than one Holy Spirit can be considered a guild.
Shelar watched the backs of the passing players as they left. She continued to walk carefully on the path in the Spirit Forest, carefully recalling the distribution map of the strongholds of the major Holy Spirit guilds that she had seen before landing on the island.
"Where exactly are you going? Sheral's Chosen?"
A dark shadow suddenly appeared on the trees behind Shelar. Shelar reacted quickly... then quickened his pace and ran away.
Dozens of fine needles that were invisible to the naked eye pierced through the air and instantly pierced towards Shelar who was about to escape, but these fine needles were blocked one by one by the magic barrier constructed by Shelar.
The one who was tracking her was the Chosen One of the Goddess of Shadows. Not long after Shelar ran away, the figure of the Chosen One of the Goddess of Shadows appeared in front of her again.
Shelar knew that there was no way she could escape. Magical inscriptions appeared in front of her, and she was ready to release magic to attack the Shadow Goddess's Chosen One...a golden mark on Shelar's chest that looked like thorns and flowers intertwined emitted a dazzling light.
The mark burst out with scorching heat, and the burning pain surrounded Shelar's whole body, causing her to fall to the ground and groan in pain.
"God's Chosen Sheral, the power God gave us is not for this kind of fratricide." The God's Chosen of the Shadow Goddess slowly walked towards her and said, "We have a more noble mission to accomplish."
"Noble..." Shelar whispered this word, suppressing the pain from the mark on her chest. When the Shadow God was about to step forward and take her away... in Shelar's sight, a girl with black hair and red eyes stood in front of her.
"Are you alright?"
Yelena stood in front of Shelar, while being wary of the Shadow Chosen in the distance.
Ever since the crystal infection in the Spirit Vein Forest was purified by the players, there have been very few monsters above level 40 appearing in the outskirts of the Spirit Vein Forest. There are still some lord monsters living in the depths, but they will not actively provoke the players.
This turned the environment outside the Spirit Vein Forest into something like a novice village, so Zhao Mingwei happened to let Ye Lina go free today. With the consent of the Leaping Nuclear Guild, he let Ye Lina take a day off outside the Spirit Vein Forest.
"A person infected with the Crystal Disease? How dare you show up in front of me... I have gained something today. No... Tsk, is there a master?"
When the Shadow God sensed the aura of the crystal disease on Yelina, he was about to take Yelina's life, but at the same time there was another aura on Yelina, that was the aura of the God of Devouring Gods.
This means that Ye Lina is a crystal disease infected person recruited by the Holy Spirits. At this stage, the Crystal Hunters cannot take action against them in order to maintain friendly relations with the Holy Spirits.
The figure of the Shadow Chosen God disappeared in front of Ye Lina again. Ye Lina seemed to feel something and punched behind her, but her fist was caught by the Shadow Chosen God.
"Don't think that this cursed power can make you stronger than anyone else in this world, monster." The Shadow God's pupils under the dark cloak stared at Ye Lina. At the same time, the Shadow God's fist was gradually tightened. "Although I can't kill you, it's okay to punish you before your master comes."
A bone-breaking pain came from Yelina's fist, but she held back and didn't scream... and suddenly a force like an electric arc burst out from her fist and stung the arm of the Shadow God's Chosen One.
"The power of crystal? No... You have another magic system in your body, but this power of yours is still too weak!" The Shadow God said as he increased the strength of his grip on Ye Lina's fist again. When she was about to twist her fist in reaction, she suddenly heard a cold male voice behind her.
"What about mine?"
The moment Shadow God Chosen heard the voice, he subconsciously raised his hand to cover his cheek. Zhao Mingwei raised his hand and kicked Shadow God Chosen's arm with an Eagle Kick.
Eagle Tread, accompanied by the powerful force of dragon and tiger, wreaked havoc on the arm of Shadow God's Chosen One, directly tearing the sleeve on Shadow God's Chosen One's arm into charcoal.
-432.
"Master?" Ye Lina shouted in surprise when she saw Zhao Mingwei appear, but the next second Zhao Mingwei grabbed Ye Lina by the collar.
"Eh?" Before Ye Lina could react, Zhao Mingwei mercilessly threw her from behind and threw her towards an ancient tree in the distance.
Ye Lina was hung on the branch of the ancient tree by Zhao Mingwei with great precision, and she was unable to move for a while.
After throwing Ye Lina out, Zhao Mingwei turned his attention to the Shadow Chosen and Sheral who was lying on the ground.
"Holy Spirit...if she is your friend...I...apologies to you." The Shadow God Chosen covered his arm that was corroded by the mental energy. The injury on his arm was not serious, at most it felt a little burned.
The Shadow God's Chosen one said this while suppressing his anger. After hearing the Shadow God's Chosen one's apology, Zhao Mingwei did not continue to pursue him. His eyes turned to Shelar who was lying on the ground.
"She is my friend. She was kidnapped by a new bandit group on this island. She has escaped by herself now. I want to take her back now." The Shadow Chosen said as he wanted to half-kneel down and pick up Sheral.
"I'm not her friend, Holy Spirit! Help me kill her, and I will give you a very good reward." Shelar endured the pain in his chest and shouted directly to Zhao Mingwei.
At this time, an option popped up in front of Zhao Mingwei... This is a common divergent route in the game plot.
1. Let the Crystal Hunter take her companions away (theoretically, the Crystal Hunter camp reputation +10)
2. Stop the Crystal Hunter (high probability of recruiting a special NPC.)
Normally, players would weigh these two options, but Zhao Mingwei was different. He pointed at Shelar and Shadow Chosen and said...
"Who of you gives more rewards?"
"award?"
At this time, Shadow Chosen God didn't quite understand Zhao Mingwei's logic. Logically speaking, it was only natural for her to bring the escaped traitor back.
"Brin! Dixil! I'll give you as much money as you want!" On the contrary, Shelar was much smarter. She shouted in a somewhat painful tone, "I can still help you with work!"
"That's what she said." Zhao Mingwei pointed at Shelar.
"… "
Are these guys robbers!
The Shadow Chosen One gritted her teeth and decided not to indulge Zhao Mingwei any more. After all, Zhao Mingwei was alone now. So what if she took Shelar away in front of Zhao Mingwei
"Master Xiao? Who hung our Ye Lina on the tree?"
"Crystal Hunter, I told you this NPC might become a hostile target!"
"Don't make a move yet. It hasn't changed yet."
Suddenly, the voices of Holy Spirits came from all directions of the forest, making Shadow God's Chosen one feel troubled because she had sensed that many Holy Spirits were heading here not long ago. The worst thing was that Shadow God's Chosen one's name was remembered by these Holy Spirits.
I really want to kill everyone here... The Shadow Chosen resisted the urge.
In order to avoid being hindered in future actions, the Shadow God, under the gaze of Zhao Mingwei, gritted his teeth and took out a large bag of coins from his cloak.
"I'm going to take her away." Shadow God's Chosen stared at Zhao Mingwei and said, and there was also a meaning of "take the money and get out" in the tone of Shadow God's Chosen.
But suddenly, the Shadow God saw a calico cat's head mask in the distance behind Zhao Mingwei. The moment the Shadow God saw the calico cat's head mask, his figure disappeared in front of Zhao Mingwei.
Zhao Mingwei's task selection window also disappeared.
"What's going on? Can I only choose 2?" Zhao Mingwei's gaze fell on Shelar who was looking at him with shining eyes on the ground.
