◎The Spade Kingdom has landed◎

"Hey, look, we're here!"

On the wooden boat that was mottled by wind and rain, someone shouted in surprise, and immediately everyone on the boat looked forward.

Wisps of mist gradually dissipated, and a brand new land came into view.

"It really is Saye Continent. Oh my god, we're finally here!"

"It's worth it that we've been drifting on the Revenge Sea for so long. Now we've finally escaped those alien monsters!"

Cheerful conversations rang out on the boat, and the players hugged each other excitedly, and the originally solemn atmosphere quickly dissipated.

The source of all this joy came from Hei Ye, who was sitting comfortably by the boat, leisurely enjoying the scenery.

Hei Ye, the guild leader of the Spade Kingdom, once boasted a dazzling array of romantic exploits within the game thanks to his strikingly handsome face. He also garnered attention for his powerful and mysterious background. However, if players were to ask about their recent impressions of this guild leader, they would likely respond with unpredictable behavior.

Players had clearly seen people from the Spade Kingdom killing monsters in the wild just moments before, but not long after the alien monsters attacked, all the people from the Spade Kingdom disappeared completely.

It was not until the players on the Revenge Coast discovered their tracks that they realized that Hei Ye had quickly recalled the entire guild members in a very short period of time, and then took them across the sea, intending to escape from Shia and land in Saye.

The entire operation was so fast that it was unbelievable. After all, even the number one, Fiery Fury, was trapped in the Xia continent. Who would have thought that the Spade Kingdom, which seemed the most irrelevant on weekdays, would be the first group of players to successfully reach the other side of the sea?

When the players of Spade Kingdom thought of their president's wise command, they immediately showed admiration on their faces.

"Our guild leader is truly far-sighted. If it weren't for him, I'm afraid we would all have perished at the hands of the alien monsters."

"That's right, Master Hei is indeed Master Hei!"

"And let me tell you something, my friend at Fiery Fury told me their president is trapped in the Endless Abyss. Forget saving others, I'm afraid he's having trouble saving himself."

"Yes, I saw it on the world channel too. Their president was in trouble, and the vice-president was hiding behind the scenes. Not only did he not help his own guild members, but he also kicked out many members behind their backs. It's unbelievable!"

"Ah, compared to this, Master Hei is simply our savior!"

…

At this time, the person being praised, Hei Ye Ben, did not have any big reaction. After all, he had heard too many words of praise along the way.

The continent reflected in my eyes became clearer and clearer, and three large wooden boats finally docked.

Before the players on the boat could cheer, they suddenly saw a row of armed demon orcs rushing out of the deep forest.

Everyone felt the alarm bells ringing in their hearts.

"Were they waiting to catch us on purpose?"

"No way, my weapon's durability is almost gone. If a real fight breaks out, I won't be able to help at all."

"Me too. I've used up all my blue energy all the way here..."

"I also……"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. The members of Spade didn't care whether they could hold on or not. They just set up their weapons first. They could not lose anything but their momentum.

The orcs on the shore also stared at them, each of them tightening their grip on the sticks and axes in their hands.

At the critical moment, an orc suddenly walked out. His clothes were different from those of the other orcs, and it was obvious that he was the leader.

Hei Ye narrowed his peach blossom eyes and walked to the side of the boat.

"Hello, humans from across the ocean. I'm the orc captain, Bank."

The leading orc did not fight to the death when he saw the human race as the game background said. Instead, he put away the axe at hand and introduced himself to them respectfully.

"Don't worry, everyone. We mean no harm. You humans must be exhausted after all this journey. To show our concern for you, Saye has arranged accommodations for you. Please follow me."

The orcs' gentle attitude surprised the Spade members who knew that the demons and humans had always been sworn enemies.

"I didn't expect that Demon Saye is actually a good NPC?"

"I heard that there was a change of power within their organization some time ago. The old Saye stepped down, and now we are hearing about the new Saye."

"Wow, this game's plot design is amazing. Does that mean we don't have to go to war?"

"Not only do we not have to fight, didn't you hear what that NPC Bank said? There are also delicious food and drinks, haha!"

"Great! I need to take a shower right now. I stink so badly lately."

"I need to eat! My stamina is almost at its limit."

The crowd was chattering, and Bank looked up at the group of humans. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, judging from their expressions... they should be happy, right?

It seemed Collins was right. These humans weren't coming to declare war on them. Not only that, but... they looked particularly desolate. Like they were fleeing.

If so, then Collins's guess was correct.

"Bank, the human continent may have encountered some disaster, so they had no choice but to cross the sea to hide with us. This is a good opportunity."

At first, Bank didn't understand what Collins said.

"Why do you say that?" he asked.

"Because we may very well break the barrier between the demons and humans today. This task is left to you, Bank. You settle them down and then bring their leader to see me."

Remembering the task Collins had assigned him, Bank glanced at the human race, and then set his eyes on the man in black who was in the lead.

He made a gesture of invitation to the man in black, who nodded in response.

The players of Spade Kingdom finally made it ashore.

"Collins, I've brought the man."

There was a knock on the door and Winry opened it immediately. She looked at the person behind Bank, her expression still a little alert.

The other party was a human, and she still couldn't accept him as quickly as Collins and Bank.

Hei Ye naturally noticed the concerns of the female orc in front of him, but he just smiled lightly and said nothing.

"Please sit down." Collins gestured.

Hei Ye didn't hesitate and sat down on the soft leather sofa with his legs crossed.

"I asked you to come here because I want to ask about the recent situation in the Xia continent."

As soon as Collins finished asking, Wen Li's heart couldn't help but rise to her throat.

If they asked so bluntly, the other party would definitely think that they were plotting something bad against the human continent.

This negotiation might break down soon!

However, the expected scene did not happen, but the atmosphere was particularly harmonious.

"A black hole appeared in the sky above the Xia continent, and an alien monster with tentacles jumped out of the black hole. Do you know what it is?" Hei Ye asked the three people in the house.

On the way here, he checked the official forum and system messages, but found no clues related to the alien monster.

No clues means not knowing the monster's level, skills, and weaknesses, which is definitely not a good thing for players who only have one life left.

If the demons knew something, they might be able to help them turn the situation around.

Unfortunately, the demon Saye's answer was to shake his head.

Hei Ye thought that he might need to have more conversations with the NPC to trigger related tasks or plots, so he asked several questions in succession.

Unfortunately, the answers are all the same.

It seems that the clue of the alien monster is not here.

The two sides communicated with each other for more than ten minutes, of course most of the questions were raised by Hei Ye.

There's no lofty reason, it's just to earn some NPC favor and trigger tasks.

But strangely, none of his tasks were triggered, and the NPC's favorability towards him was also shown as unavailable.

Considering that players' lives could no longer be revived, Hei Ye rested his chin on one hand and smiled softly to himself. Things seemed to be getting more and more interesting...
