Chapter 169: Chapter 168 The Beginning of Conflict (Third Update)

“Descendant of the Devouring God, why is there an elf infected with the crystallization disease mingling among you?”

War God Urd stared at Bai Yu, wrapped in the Earth Mother Goddess’s vines on the tree trunk. Although Bai Yu had already been turned into a utility person by Jiang Qiao, he still carried the scent of crystallization disease infection.

“Damn it! He’s the lady boss of our Black Wind Village! Hurry up and release the magical restraints!”

Shen Meng glanced at the interface where he had hired Bai Yu, who was losing health at a rate of five hundred points per second. Bai Yu’s total health was only one hundred thousand to begin with, and at this rate, it wouldn’t be long before his health would be completely depleted and he would kick the bucket.

This made Shen Meng lose face.

“Black Wind Village?”

Urd was a bit confused when he heard this odd name. In his memory, these people were supposed to be the holy spirits under the Devouring God, but this self-proclaimed title sounded like something bandits would use? Translated, it meant the fortress of the black wind, which didn’t sound like a good organization at all.

Moreover, these holy spirits had suddenly surrounded them, which seemed quite ill-intentioned.

Because of this, War God Urd focused his gaze on Jiang Qiao, who had already given instructions to Queen Mei during this time.

Miss Cat, played by Queen Mei, disappeared from the spot and reappeared above the branch where Bai Yu was restrained.

Queen Mei swung her longsword, cutting off the vines of the Earth Mother Goddess that were wrapped around Bai Yu.

No sooner had Bai Yu been freed from his bindings than he picked up his longbow like a madman, intending to continue attacking the Earth Mother Goddess, but Queen Mei directly knocked him on the head with the hilt of her sword.

A damage of -1234 popped up above Bai Yu’s head, and the next second, he went into a coma.

“Why is Miss Cat also bullying our second-in-command?”

“Brother Meng, we’re not going to have to beat up Miss Cat too, are we?”

“Perfect, we can capture her and make her the new lady boss!”

Bai Yu is the second lady, not the second-in-command!

Shen Meng really wanted to tell his stream viewers this. Soon after Miss Cat had knocked out Bai Yu, several vines attempted to wrap around Bai Yu and strangle him.

But they were all severally cut off by Queen Mei.

“Descendant of the Devouring God, if you want to personally purify this crystallization disease sufferer, please feel free.”

Seeing Queen Mei take action, War God Urd also signaled the Earth Mother Goddess not to continue attempting to kill the elf.

Queen Mei grabbed Bai Yu by the collar on the trunk and directly jumped to Shen Meng’s side with him, tossing the comatose Bai Yu next to Shen Meng’s mount.

“May I ask, descendant of the Devouring God, what do you mean by this?” Urd’s face carried a smile, but it was already filled with a faint hostility.

The expression on the three-colored cat hood atop Queen Mei’s head changed to (.•ˇˍˇ•.), and her figure stood in front of Shen Meng and the many players of Black Wind Village.

“The task you assigned us was to purify the crystallization of this island. As for the process and method of purification… these are none of your concern.”

Queen Mei’s statement was recited according to the script given by Jiang Qiao, but it seemed that the Earth Mother Goddess had a special obsession with Bai Yu.

The moment Queen Mei’s words fell, the ground once again sprouted a multitude of vines that shot towards Bai Yu behind her.

Queen Mei swung her longsword, and a light from the sword arc flashed. Cold blood spread from the blade, leaving deep crimson sword marks on the ground five meters away.

All the rising vines were severally cut by Queen Mei.

“Miss Cat seems to be on our side, huh.”

“Big Dream, do we charge in or not?” The Swordsman Mo Dao whispered to Chen Meng, clearly hinting at a hidden quest—a quest that could only be triggered by having the NPC Bai Yu in their team, it’s just that no prompt had appeared.

“Charge in, my ass. Haven’t you noticed that even if we switch to PK mode, we can’t target those two NPCs? They are under system protection, just like the NPCs in Lionheart City.”

Chen Meng also really wanted to charge in. She wanted to snatch the charming and adorable Miss Cat and take her home, but the problem was that neither Miss Cat nor the two newly appeared NPCs could be attacked.

“I understand.” The avatar of the War God Urd felt the hostile glares of the surrounding spirits. If he continued, he might very well end up entering an instance.

The crystallization on Biland Island was still very severe and required the power of the Devouring God to purify, so now was not the time to be enemies with the Devouring God.

“My followers will start hunting down those Magic Thieves and all those infected with the crystal disease on the island, so if you wish to protect that elf and keep her safe, please don’t let her stray too far from your base…”

After leaving these words, the figure of War God Urd and the Earth Mother Goddess disappeared in front of all the players.

“Here’s the question, when do these two NPCs jump into an instance?”

“Just display their health bars directly, why do they need to enter an instance?”

Queen Mei quietly listened to the players’ discussions around her, feeling somewhat apprehensive. She sent a message to Jiang Qiao.

‘Is this really okay?’

‘Of course it’s fine… We came here to strip Biland Island of its resources, specifically to hunt those lord-level monsters. The Magic Thieves are just a side quest. Whether the players want to save the Magic Thieves or join War God Urd in annihilating them, it’s up to the players’ own choices.’

Jiang Qiao didn’t think there was anything inappropriate about this. After all, helping those with the crystal disease without stopping players from grinding and leveling up was just an interesting choice during gameplay. Jiang Qiao didn’t plan to interfere with this choice.

‘Rather than that, Mei, I think you should start thinking about how to escape now.’ Jiang Qiao sent another message.

‘Escape?’

Queen Mei seemed to realize something. When she looked back, Chen Meng had already dismounted and was getting uncomfortably close to her.

“Miss Cat, may I have a look under your headgear?” Chen Meng said in a low voice.

It might have been an illusion, but Queen Mei felt a heavy panting in Chen Meng’s voice as she spoke.

The moment Queen Mei swung her sword, Chen Meng thought of Queen Mei’s true form, so when Chen Meng reached towards her, Queen Mei’s calico cat headgear expression instantly turned into (ºДº*).

“Miss Cat has run away!”

“Quick, chase her down!”

Queen Mei, unable to harm players, had no choice but to backflip onto a tree branch and then sprinted toward the starting base. The people of Black Wind Village, of course, could not tolerate letting a wild Miss Cat escape, so a crowd rushed toward the starting base thunderously.

“Am I not utterly useless?” Jiang Qiao, left all alone, watched the group depart, but he glanced at Queen Mei’s live streaming page, where everyone was spamming ‘Don’t run, Miss Cat… It’s fun to be the bandit chief’s wife!’

Jiang Qiao wondered what the Yellow Hornet Knights and Lion Heart Knights would think upon seeing this string of bullet comments, but when he logged out of Queen Mei’s stream and instinctually checked what Add Milk No Extra Charge was up to, the title of Add Milk No Extra Charge’s live stream nearly made Jiang Qiao spit again.

“Finally sneaked into the real lair of the Magic Thieves! I’m about to start live streaming the looting of the Magic Thieves’ den!”

Are you the expert they talk about when referring to photo opportunities?

While other players were busy establishing their bases, Add Milk No Extra Charge had once again started a new instance.
