[Invisibility Cloak: Automatically hides the wearer upon wearing, and adds a roving effect. (Velocity: Teleports the wearer's position, with a maximum teleportation distance of no more than 8 meters)]

This is the reward for completing that special character copy.

Except for wearing it once when she rescued Eugene, Xia Yao later put it in the bottom of the box.

At this time, Xia Yao put on her cloak again and quickly disappeared from the spot.

She received a total of 43 system tasks, so let's start with the closest one.

Her feet were like accelerators, she swam left and right, quickly passed under the feet of the giants, and arrived at Area 5 of the underground city of Ares ahead of time.

Areas 1 to 4 have been destroyed and are unfortunately useless.

Area 5 is about to become the next site of destruction under the giant's feet, and she must rescue the people inside before that happens.

Xia Yao rushed into a small pointed-roof house with sparks and lightning. After seeing the ID above the NPC's head, she confirmed that it was the person required for the task, so she took off her cloak and revealed her true form.

"Hurry up, it's too late."

Without time to explain to the person in front of her, she grabbed the NPC and rushed out of the hut.

Fortunately, the NPC was very obedient and didn't make any noise at all. He followed her into an alley.

Yuan Qinglan, who had been waiting at the entrance of the alley, hurriedly opened the cellar door and said, "Come on, hurry in."

The NPC nodded gratefully, bent down and went into the cellar.

Xia Yao looked at Yuan Qinglan: "Thank you."

Yuan Qinglan snorted and raised his chin. "I'm telling you there's a cellar here for the safety of the continent."

"Thank you too for risking your life to protect this place." Xia Yao was not disturbed by Yuan Qinglan's words. Instead, she expressed her admiration for her without any concealment.

Yuan Qinglan was stunned at first, then her cheeks quickly flushed. She glanced around uncomfortably and blushed, urging, "Hey, hurry up and save them. Why are you dawdling here? Don't forget you promised everyone you would rescue them."

Xia Yao could tell Yuan Qinglan was shy, so she suppressed her smile and said, "Okay, got it. You too, be careful and don't expose yourself in front of the giant."

After saying this, he put on his cloak and left in secret.

There were several NPCs in Area 5 waiting for rescue, and she almost always stepped on the most dangerous edge to rescue them.

Fortunately, they were safe along the way and successfully sent to the cellar where Yuan Qinglan was.

There was a loud bang of a building collapsing behind them, and a strong airflow rushed towards them.

Xia Yao frowned and pushed Yuan Qinglan into the cellar: "You go in too, the giant will be here soon."

This is her rescue strategy.

Anyone who found a cellar nearby would immediately tell her the address.

She then chose the nearest cellar to hide based on the location of the NPC she wanted to rescue.

After hiding, if the giant has not arrived yet, the player can search for another cellar, report the address, and repeat the previous process.

If the giant is close at hand and is about to come over, like the situation with Yuan Qinglan now, she will ask the player to hide inside.

Yuan Qinglan knew this, so he didn't argue and opened the cellar door and went in.

At the same time, Xia Yao received addresses reported by other players one after another.

[Area 6, 118.89.78, found a basement that can accommodate 10 people]

[Area 7, 66.121.85, a basement was found, roughly estimated to be able to accommodate 20 people]

[Area 8, 33.55.109, 2 large cellars found]

Xia Yao picked these three people to reply, then rushed out of the alley with a whoosh.

Unexpectedly, just as she slipped away, the frost giant kicked her!

Stones exploded behind her head with a bang. Xia Yao looked back and secretly felt lucky that she had escaped in advance.

Then she went to areas 6, 7, and 8, and she did the same thing, successfully hiding the NPC in the basement.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed and most of the tasks assigned by the system had been completed.

And every time she successfully rescued an NPC, the system would make an announcement through a small loudspeaker.

The players in Ares City read one message after another, and kept exclaiming that the boss was really amazing!

"Only a big guy like this deserves to be called number one~"

"This speed and efficiency, is this the gap between me and the boss?"

"When will I ever have her ability to see and hear everything? Dodging giants, saving people, and replying to our messages and filtering addresses in the chat all at once. Ah, people really can't be compared."

Although everyone couldn't help but sigh, they quickly returned to the battle.

"Let's not talk about this for now. She probably doesn't have many missions left."

"We are about to achieve phased success!"

"Try to reduce the three giants' health by half before they leave Ares City!"

The players' fighting spirit was ignited once again.

But they didn't know how difficult the remaining tasks on Xia Yao's side were.

The previous missions only required rescuing a single person, which was not difficult. However, the remaining missions not only required rescuing multiple NPCs, but the given address was also a dungeon.

Xia Yao knew about the dungeon. She had been to the Colosseum there before to save Rex and Eugene.

If you want to go to the underground city, you can enter through the entrances of areas 1-8 of the aboveground city.

However, the problem now is that areas 1-6 have been destroyed by giants, and the passages have definitely collapsed and people can no longer enter, so only areas 7 and 8 are accessible.

Time was extremely tight. If she had been slower, the entrances and exits of areas 7 and 8 might have been destroyed by the giants.

By then, not to mention the NPCs, even she might be trapped inside.

The mission was urgent. Xia Yao's eyes tightened, and she drank the purple medicine that accelerated her speed and rushed into the entrance of Area 7.

"This way, everyone go this way!"

She found the NPCs who requested rescue as quickly as possible, gathered them together, and quickly took them to the exit of Area 7.

But I was dumbfounded the next second.

The exit that was still there when I came in has now completely collapsed, with rubble scattered all over the ground.

Xia Yao gritted her teeth and turned around: "Follow me, this way!"

There is only one exit left in Area 8, she has to hurry, hurry, hurry!

While rushing over there, he contacted the people above: "Bei Mingdu, can you help me distract the giants temporarily? I will bring people up from Area 8 immediately."

The other end: "Okay, no problem."

Bei Mingdu glanced at the guild members behind him and frowned slightly. "Haven't Stop the War and Colorful Bubbles replied yet?"

The Giant War has been going on for so long, but the two old members don't have any faith at all.

This is the person his good sister Yuan Qinglan likes. Alas... Bei Ming couldn't help but sigh.

The member responsible for contacting the two people shook his head, indicating that he had not received a reply.

Bei Mingdu withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, and then commanded, "Team 1, go out as bait and lure the giant to the southeast corner. I will count your deaths as contributions to the guild and distribute the rewards after the battle."

"yes!"

Team 1, all members step out.

Ten people quickly ran out from the corner.

The Frost Giants and Storm Giants discovered them first and turned around to chase them.

The thunder and lightning giant was not led away by them and continued to walk straight forward.

Team 1 immediately sent out two people, ready to go around and lure it away.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two players appeared, they were blown into the sky by the wind blown by the storm giant!

The Frost Giant suddenly accelerated and rushed over, and started stomping on the ground like a madman!

The earth shook with rumbling sounds.

Bei Ming only heard the tragic screams of Team 5 in the voice, and then the sound stopped abruptly.

The entire guild fell into a state of deathly shock.

The entire guild, including Bei Ming, had never expected that these three giants were actually intelligent!

Not only did he see through their tricks to lure them away, but he also became furious after seeing through it and vented his anger by stepping on Team 1 as a whole!

Bei Mingdu looked at the situation ahead seriously.

No, the entrance and exit to the dungeon in Area 8 must be guarded!

He has promised everything, he must not go back on his word!

He suddenly stood up, gripping his longbow tightly. "Team 2, follow me and lure out the Frost Giants. Team 3, lead away the Storm Giants. Teams 4 and 5, intercept the Thunder Giants. Teams 678, guard the entrances and exits. Remember, regardless of life or death, you must complete this mission!"

The Beiming Capital at this time was no longer the scattered state it was a few months ago.

Ever since he publicly apologized to Sword and Rose, he began to vigorously reorganize everything, kicking out those who took advantage of the situation, promoting those who were capable, updating the guild's contribution calculation rules, and only purchasing useful and high-quality products in the warehouse, discarding all those that were just for show.

Although doing so caused their guild's ranking to drop significantly at the beginning, in the long run, it was greatly beneficial to the guild's development.

Two months later, the strength of their Beiming Capital has returned to its peak, and its ranking is one place higher than before, currently ranking eighth in the entire server.

So when Bei Ming gave this order, no one retreated. They all raised their weapons and vowed to complete the mission to the death!

In the ground city where most of the area had collapsed, the players suddenly found a group of people rushing towards the three-headed giant without caring about their lives.

What happened to the guerrilla warfare we agreed on? Why are they all rushing in at once?

The players couldn't understand.

But then I saw them disperse and run towards different giants, and suddenly realized that this group of people didn't seem to be appearing blindly, but... were leading them?

It turns out the players guessed right.

The teams from the Beiming City successfully lured away the two giants, Frost and Storm. They played like whack-a-mole, sometimes rushing in front of the giants and sometimes disappearing, which made the two giants very angry and they stomped their feet at the collapsed ground!

Very good, stomp it however you like.

The people in Beiming City thought that as long as they didn't enter Area 8, it didn't matter even if they stepped through the ground.

As for the Lightning Giant, it was also being annoyed by Team 4 and Team 5. The two teams were like flies, constantly hovering in front of it. It wanted to kill the group with lightning, but was repeatedly blocked by the Holy Light players.

The pace of progress suddenly slowed down, and no giant entered Area 8 for the time being.

Xia Yao quickly led a large group of NPCs from the entrance of Area 8 to the ground city, and she was met by Team 678 of the Beiming City.

"I've left the people in your care. Take them to the cellar." She turned and was about to go back.

Several captains called her over again and again:

"Why are you going back? Isn't the mission completed?"

"Yes, it's too dangerous down there. If a giant steps on you, you'll die."

Time was too tight, and Xia Yao had no time to explain. She just said, "There is one more task to do," and hurried back to the dungeon.

He ran to the Colosseum as if he knew the way.

The last time I saw the place, it was crowded with people, but now it is already deserted. The NPC who collected the entrance fee has disappeared, and the black-hearted goat is also nowhere to be seen.

But these guys are not important.

Because her last mission is to rescue all the animals imprisoned in the Colosseum.

Yes, she was not mistaken, not just one, but all of them.

Animals can bite people, so she didn't dare to bring them up with the NPCs, and could only send them in batches.

She rushed into the backfield like the wind, and looked at the animals in shackles and with sad eyes in the backfield, and her heart was touched.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."

She skillfully swung the fan, and the white wind blade seemed to be remotely controlled, landing on the animal's shackles with great precision.

The metal shackles snapped and broke one after another, but the beast's hands and feet were not hurt at all.

Xia Yao discovered the porcupine in the corner, which was the little guy who fought against her on the same stage that day.

The other party seemed to be very afraid of her. Even after she removed its shackles, it still shrank inside and dared not move.

She walked over and gently stroked its upturned spikes. "Be good, come with me, okay? This place is going to collapse soon, and it's dangerous for you to stay here."

The porcupine seemed to understand what she said and blinked its black eyes.

Xia Yao continued to caress him: "I'll take you up there. From now on, you won't have to be locked up here and work for goats anymore. You'll be free. Freedom, you know what that means, right?"

Of course the porcupine understood. Not only that, two tears fell from its eyes. It obediently retracted its barbs, stretched out its short legs, clung to Xia Yao's knees, and rubbed her with its nose, as if to say, "Thank you for saving me."

Xia Yao understood what he meant, picked it up and was about to run.

The next second, she received a system prompt.

[Porcupine's favorability towards you +100]

[Congratulations, you have successfully unlocked the battle pet function]

[Would you like to take Porcupine as your battle pet? ]

Xia Yao:?

Also? She has a battle pet?

The author has something to say:

Porcupine: Rub against the master~
