The system assigned them tasks.

Please go to Site 1 to find the mysterious treasure that the rabbit spirit, Ruobite, lost in the forest, and return it to her.

The five people looked at each other, a hint of excitement and curiosity flashing in their eyes.

A mysterious treasure—what could it be?

Luo Qing gripped the map, which had changed again, and felt a faint warmth emanating from it. She frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something.

If it's venue number one, then there should be other venues. Why are we dividing up the venues today?

Mo Ming stood quietly to the side, his gaze deep, as if he could see through the thick fog.

Mu Qimeng had already begun searching for clues around him, his movements swift and agile, like a cheetah searching for its prey.

Fang Tai started muttering, "This fog is so thick, we can't see anything. How are we supposed to find the treasure?"

The system's voice sounded again, this time with a hint of mockery in its tone.

[Congratulations, players! You have successfully triggered the special quest – Find the Lost Sword!]

This is a challenging and dangerous mission, but successful completion will yield rich rewards. Please follow the map's guidance to venture deep into the Misty Forest and find the long-dormant Lost Sword.

Remember, only a true warrior can draw this sword and awaken its power.

The five people were taken aback for a moment, then their faces lit up with surprise. A special mission—it sounded both challenging and mysterious.

The map in Luo Qing's hand suddenly lit up, and a beam of light shone in front of him, illuminating a blurry figure.

It was a guardian clad in ancient armor, his eyes reflecting weariness and confusion.

"You've come..." the guardian spoke, his voice hoarse. "I am the guardian of the Misty Forest, lost by the power of darkness. Only by finding my sword can I regain my power and protect this forest."

Luo Qing and the other four immediately gathered around, their eyes fixed on the blurry figure of the guardian, eagerly anticipating the next part of the mission.

"Your mission is to find the Lost Sword, the source of my power. Only by finding it can I once again protect this Misty Forest," the guardian said slowly. His voice was hoarse, but it was full of determination and resolve.

As he finished speaking, the map in Luo Qing's hand emitted a bright light once more, and a guiding ray of light shot out, pointing directly into the depths of the forest.

The five of them cautiously advanced, following the direction of the light. In the misty forest, all was silent except for the echo of their footsteps.

The fog was sometimes thick and sometimes thin, as if guiding them forward.

Suddenly, a peculiar breeze swept by, carrying a hint of chill and an unusual fragrance. The five people immediately stopped in their tracks, exchanging glances with a mixture of doubt and curiosity in their eyes.

Luo Qing frowned slightly. She sniffed the fragrance in the air, which felt somewhat familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

Mo Ming quietly closed his eyes, as if sensing the changes around him.

Mu Qimeng had already drawn her dagger, cautiously looking around, ready to deal with any potential dangers at any time.

Fang Tai scratched his head and muttered, "What's this taste? It's weird."

Just as they were wondering, a soft, clear, and melodious bell sound suddenly came from the mist, as if it came from a distant world.

The five men immediately gripped their weapons tightly, their eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

Luo Qing suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet tremble slightly, as if something was approaching.

A group of pretty young women appeared before them, their ankles adorned with tiny bells that jingled melodiously with each step.

These women wore brightly colored dresses and had innocent, carefree smiles on their faces, like a group of fairies who had stepped out of a painting. However, their eyes were unusually empty, as if they had lost their souls.

Luo Qing and his group of five exchanged bewildered glances, wondering who these women were. Mo Ming, on the other hand, stood quietly to the side, observing the women's every move.

Suddenly, one of the women spoke up, her voice sweet yet hollow: "Welcome to the first challenge—the name tag ripping game!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the five players were surprised to find that name tags with their names on them had been stuck to their waists without their knowledge.

"You have five minutes to hide. We'll come after you in five minutes. If three of you survive within forty minutes, you've passed the level."

With a wave of her hand, the woman brought them into a modern building.

"The name tag ripping battle begins now!" As the girl's crisp voice fell, Luo Qing and the other four reacted instantly and scrambled to find hiding places.

Luo Qing quickly looked around and realized that they were in an abandoned school. The familiar yet strange scene of the teaching buildings, playground, and canteen instantly brought her back to her student days.

However, she had no time for nostalgia at the moment, and quickly slipped into a classroom, closing the door tightly behind her.

Mu Qimeng hid under the stands of the playground, using her agility and speed to quickly move through the narrow space, like a nimble cheetah.

Mo Ming then chose a more secluded place—the library.

He stood quietly behind the bookshelf, using his deep gaze and keen senses to be constantly alert to any movement around him.

Fang Tai hid in the cafeteria kitchen, using his small frame to hide behind a huge refrigerator, hoping to evade the women's search.

Five minutes passed quickly, and the girls began to move.

They dispersed; some went into the teaching building, some went to the playground, and some went directly to the cafeteria.

Inside the teaching building, Luo Qing listened intently to the sounds outside, ready to respond to any unexpected situations.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps approaching, and then the door to the next classroom was flung open.

Luo Qing's heart skipped a beat. She quickly hid behind the classroom curtains, pressed herself tightly against the locked window, and tried to make her breath as faint as possible.

The footsteps outside the door grew closer, and she could clearly hear the girls laughing and joking.

"Looks like nobody's here," a sweet voice said.

“Don’t be careless, they might be hiding somewhere,” another voice warned.

Luo Qing held her breath, trying to remain still. She could feel her heart racing, and sweat was seeping from her forehead.

Suddenly, the classroom door was pushed open, and two girls walked in.

Their gazes swept around the classroom before settling on the corner where Luo Qing was.

Luo Qing's heart sank; she knew she had been discovered.

She quickly rushed out from behind the curtains and ran towards the other side of the classroom.

"Grab her!" The women reacted quickly and immediately chased after Luo Qing.

Luo Qing moved through the classroom, nimbly dodging the girls' attacks while searching for an opportunity to retaliate.

Suddenly, she saw the chalk box on the teacher's desk in the classroom.

She lunged forward, grabbed a handful of chalk, and turned to throw it at the chasing girls.

"Ah!" A young woman was hit in the eye by a piece of chalk. She screamed in pain, covered her eye, and squatted on the ground.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luo Qing rushed out of the classroom and fled into the corridor. She knew she couldn't stop.
