And so, Shen Jue didn't let Hui Yi leave; he still had the ability to recognize NPCs.

Huiyi knew he couldn't leave, so he resigned himself to following Shen Jue.

Fortunately, he said he had no sense of direction and couldn't find the way, so he wouldn't be seen as a traitor who betrayed everyone. He wouldn't get beaten up by Shen Jue, nor would the system judge him as a defector. He was really smart to show such leniency without being too harsh.

Although the current situation isn't impressive, it saves us effort.

All he needs to do now is follow Shen Jue and point out the quest-related NPCs, which is a very easy task.

Shen Jue led Hui Yi around the forest quickly and could roughly estimate that the blue forest was twice the size of the purple forest.

We've roughly figured out the route.

However, the number of instance creatures in the Blue Forest is actually less than that in the Purple Forest.

You can see the dream beasts in the purple forest almost every short distance.

In contrast, in the Blue Forest, you might not encounter even one after walking for miles; they are simply two extremes.

After walking around again, Shen Jue roughly divided the blue forest into three areas.

One area is entirely forested, another is half forested and half rocky, and yet another is a body of water.

It does resemble the distribution environment on an island.

Aside from the limited number of dungeon creatures, there are no other drawbacks.

Seeing that his exploration had not been very effective, Shen Jue turned his attention to Hui Yi.

Huiyi and Shenjue had been going around for so long that he could guess what Shenjue wanted to do just by looking at him.

This time, Shen Jue looked at him again, most likely wanting to ask him if he knew the reason for this instance.

It doesn't make sense. How can a regular dream beast be upgraded to an elite dungeon while other S-rank dream beasts can't?

Faced with this fatal problem.

Huiyi's answer was that their dream beasts also had to go through a selection process before they could enter the elite dungeon.

Knowing that Shen Jue would also be going to try the elite dungeons, Hui Yi wanted to stay in the normal dungeons to avoid being selected.

His performance in the normal version was particularly poor. Not only did he fail to fulfill his duties and make things difficult for the players, he also became the players' favorite NPC.

Because he frequently betrays his own team and leads players to attack his competitors.

Originally, Huiyi had a perfectly good plan, but unfortunately, she was still selected by the game system and thrown into the elite dungeon.

So when he first came in, he was speechless and questioned the heavens. He grabbed a tree and banged his head against it to vent his anger. Then he ran into Shen Jue. What a coincidence!

In Huiyi's words, mission-based dungeons are designed to limit players like Shenjue who go on a killing spree.

Upon learning the result, Shen Jue was utterly speechless. What was this? A belated attempt at fairness in the game?

There are still doubts about what Huiyi said. The rules restrict these players from killing indiscriminately, but they don't say it's completely prohibited.

He thought about his stress response when he saw Huiyi.

Shen Jue suddenly realized the truth: could this rule have been added by the game system because she had been farming Dream Beasts too much?

The thought of this possibility made Shen Jue chuckle.

If those dream beasts really appealed to the game system, then it would be reasonable for her to be locked up in the dark room.

Shen Jue: "I'll ask you a few more questions. You just need to answer yes or no."

Huiyi nodded. In his opinion, he had already told Shenjue everything he knew. Even if Shenjue raised his knife and killed him now, even if he was afraid of the pain, he would still say the same things.

"You mean even the dream beasts in regular dungeons need to be selected, right?"

"yes."

"Are all the dream beasts that came in strong but whom I've killed?"

"yes."

"Are all dream beasts selected through a rigorous screening process, the best of the best?"

"yes."

"Was it a joint complaint from all the dream beasts that led to Shen Jue being locked in a dark room?"

“Yes.” Huiyi immediately realized what was happening and explained.

"No, I misspoke!!!"

Shen Jue smiled and wiped his knife. "No need to explain. Explaining is just covering up. Tell me, were you among those who complained about my dream beast?"

In Huiyi's opinion, this question was practically a death sentence.

When he complained about Shen Jue before, he called his friends and was very happy. He thought that Shen Jue would suffer in the dark room, but he didn't expect that Shen Jue was so capable that he got through the dark room.

If he answers no now, Shen Jue will definitely not believe him, and he will definitely get a beating. If he answers yes, he might get beaten even worse by Shen Jue.

Shen Jue noticed Huiyi's hesitation.

She said quietly, "Confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely. If you tell the truth, I'll just beat you up at most. But if you dare to lie to me, I'll kill you until the end of the dungeon and let you experience all sorts of ways to die. I'm sure you'll be resurrected, but you'll definitely feel the pain. I think you're smart enough to know which one to choose."

Shen Jue's expression, combined with her nonchalant tone, made him look extremely dangerous, as if Shen Jue could come up with a knife and tear him to pieces the moment he chose to end the relationship.

Gray memory: weak, afraid, and afraid to move.

Under Shen Jue's gaze, Hui Yi swallowed hard. Finally, she weakly uttered a single word.

"have."

...

"Awooo~ Oh ho ho ho~"

In the blue forest, beside a path, Huiyi was being beaten, covering her head. She howled like a banshee, her voice hoarse from screaming. Shen Jue, that devil, had gone too far!

After a while, Shen Jue finally withdrew his fist, relieved, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and tossed a pill to Hui Yi.

"Eat it, and you'll recover!"

At this moment, after being thoroughly beaten by Shen Jue, Huiyi's entire body was a size larger than before.

It was swollen from being slapped by Shen Jue.

At this moment, Huiyi said somewhat unclearly, "This... what is this!"

"A pill to restore your beauty, heal your injured body, and bring your looks back to normal."

Huiyi looked at the tiny pill in front of him, which was smaller than his fingernail, with a puzzled expression.

Can this little thing really heal his injuries?

Seeing Huiyi's confusion, Shen Jue said indifferently, "Eat it or don't, if you don't want to eat it, just give it back to me."

Huiyi quickly put the pill in her mouth, "I'll eat it, I'll eat it."

He then chewed it and swallowed it.

After waiting for a while, Huiyi felt a heat rising all over his body, and then the pain disappeared, and he returned to his handsome self.

This pill is truly amazing.

At this moment, Huiyi's opinion of Shen Jue changed.

He learned a lesson: when facing Shen Jue, one must be sincere, sincere, and sincere again. Only sincerity could save his life.

After resolving this minor conflict, Shen Juefeng explored the area she had drawn.

Gray Memory said that quest-based dungeons need to be triggered. The first quest is governed by a sheep-shaped dream beast.

Sheep generally live in plains, but there are no plains in this instance, so we can't use common sense to explain it.

You can look around where the grass is lush, and while you're at it, look for a water source that's close to the grass.

Shen Jue arrived at the water source area she had previously designated and walked upstream along the downstream.

First, explore the forest near the water source, and then gradually expand the search area.

This is a last resort.

She knew too little about the elite dungeon.

What's most worrying is that although the number of Dream Beasts in the Elite Dungeon is small, they are all Elite Beasts that have been upgraded by the system.

They are still quite threatening to players. If you are not careful, you might think that these dream beasts are the same as the previous normal dungeons.

That was such a pitiful death.
