During the following period, Gu Shi lived the life of an ordinary adventurer, and going to the Adventurer's Guild to take on quests became their daily routine.

Gu Shi completed many different tasks with Zhao Zhize and Cheng Xuqing.

Unlike Gu Shi who mostly took on Warcraft subjugation missions, the two of them would also take on missions like finding things and pets. Gu Shi even did a sack-covering mission with them.

The cause of the incident was a conflict between the employer and the target of the mission, so a mission was posted to the Adventurer's Guild, hoping to find adventurers to beat up the target of the mission.

Originally, they didn't plan to take on this mission, but Cheng Xuqing was really curious, so he went to find out more about it. After that, they discovered that the target of this mission was not a good person either.

Because they were really angry after hearing what happened, the three of them decided to take the task and beat the target black and blue.

This kind of daily life is very dull, but Gu Shi is very happy. It seems like he is back in college. Besides studying, everyone spends every day chatting and playing games together.

But this peaceful life was soon broken.

On this day, the three of them went to the Adventurer's Guild to accept the mission in the morning as usual, and then returned to the hotel to eat.

"I'm telling you, this is delicious, come and have a taste."

Cheng Xuqing was tirelessly promoting a new delicacy that he had discovered these days with the other two.

Gu Shi quickly waved his hands and said, "No, no, I'm full. You should eat by yourself."

Hearing what he said, Cheng Xuqing turned his attention to Zhao Zhize. "I won't lie to you. This is really delicious. You'll know once you try it."

Zhao Zhize also silently averted his gaze and refused, "Since it's so delicious, you should keep it for yourself. How can I take away someone else's love?"

"Alas, you really don't know how to appreciate delicious food." Cheng Xuqing sighed, with a very regretful expression on his face, and picked up the ribs and started eating.

The delicacy that Cheng Xuqing was talking about was actually a kind of meat that was marinated with special spices and then grilled.

This spice is just like the coriander on Blue Star, it has a special fragrance. People who like it love it very much, but people who don’t like it can’t accept it at all. Gu Shi and Zhao Zhize just happen to be the type of people who can’t accept it.

The little dispute at their table was quickly noticed by the hotel's proprietress. She walked over with a smile and said, "Everyone, our hotel has recently introduced a new dish, and it's been very well received. Would you like to try one?"

Cheng Xuqing was intrigued by the new dishes the proprietress mentioned. He nodded with shining eyes, "Okay, okay. I'm getting tired of eating barbecue every day. Please give me one portion."

"Okay, please wait a moment, sir." The proprietress turned and went back to the kitchen.

After a while, the proprietress came out with a large plate. Cheng Xuqing was looking at the dish in her hand with great anticipation. Gu Shi and Zhao Zhize were also a little curious.

But the next second, the proprietress fell to the ground without warning, and the dishes in her hands fell to the ground.

Cheng Xuqing widened his eyes in surprise, "What's going on!"

Gu Shi quickly turned his head to observe the surrounding environment and found that most of the people in the tavern had suddenly fainted like the proprietress. Only a few people were as cautious and vigilant as they were.

Zhao Zhize frowned, "Something's wrong. My magic power is rapidly fading. What about you?"

Cheng Xuqing then realized that something was wrong with his body, "Ah! Me too."

"Me too. I'm afraid those who are still awake like us are professionals, and those who are unconscious are ordinary people."

Gu Shi naturally noticed the loss of his magic power at the first moment. At the same time, he was extremely sensitive to vitality and could feel that the vitality of these unconscious people was slowly weakening.

If Gu Shi's prediction was correct, once the magic power in their bodies was exhausted, their vitality would be taken away just like these ordinary people.

Gu Shi spoke quickly, "Let's go out and take a look. Let's first figure out the current situation."

The strong magic power that Gu Shi possessed could allow him to sustain for a period of time in such rapid consumption, but it was different for the other two. For the safety of the three of them, they had to find a way to escape as soon as possible.

The three of them left the hotel swiftly and came to the street.

With just one glance, they knew that the situation in the city was probably not very good.

The once bustling street was now filled with people lying on the ground. The surroundings were as quiet as if the mute button had been pressed, with only a few figures occasionally walking anxiously in the crowd.

Gu Shi looked up at the black and gray light shield in the sky that seemed to cover the entire city, and immediately thought of the magic circle in the sewer.

Zhao Zhize had obviously thought of this as well. "Could this be caused by that thing down there? Gu Shi, has your teacher mentioned this to you?"

Gu Shi shook his head, "Teacher didn't tell me what that thing does, he just said he would find someone to solve it.

Don't think too much about it for now. Our main task now is to find a way to escape from here. If we stay in here for too long, we might die."

Only a few minutes had passed since the incident, but Gu Shi noticed that among the people lying on the ground, the faces of several people had begun to turn pale. It wouldn't be long before they would completely lose their lives and become corpses.

Although these people suffered unexpected disasters, unfortunately, Gu Shi was unable to save them. He only wanted to find a way to save his own life and that of his companions.

Cheng Xuqing and Zhao Zhize naturally believed Gu Shi. When they heard what he said was so serious, they couldn't help but become anxious.

Zhao Zhize immediately said, "Let's go to the city gate and take a look. Maybe we can just run out of the range of this light shield."

Gu Shi didn't care about the consumption of magic power. He took out his staff and cast the sprint spell on them. The three of them ran towards the city gate at a rapid speed.

Apparently, there were many people who shared the same idea as them. When they arrived at the city gate, a large number of professionals who were still able to move had already gathered there.

Seeing that many people were frantically using all their strength to try to destroy the barrier outside the city, Gu Shi and his companions quietly bypassed the crowd and came to a remote place.

Cheng Xuqing was already a little exhausted. He was the lowest level among the three and also had the least magic power. The magic power in his body was almost exhausted.

Gu Shi noticed his weakness and took out a bottle of magic recovery potion and poured it into his mouth. "If you can't hold on any longer, tell me quickly. I have a lot of magic potions here, enough for the three of us."

Cheng Xuqing explained a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I also brought a lot of magic potions with me. I just want to hold on a little longer. After all, there is a limit to the amount of magic potions, and I can't drink them all the time."

Zhao Zhize scolded, "Stop wasting time, both of you! Come over here and figure out how to break through this barrier."
