Yan Zi was also completely bewildered by their performance art.
Fortunately, the situation quickly calmed down, and Yan Zi stood at the front.
A group of people stepped forward to negotiate with her.
She politely gave her name.
The other person had a strange look in their eyes, then extended their gloved right hand without introducing themselves, and their expression even carried a hint of provocation.
Yan Zi smiled but didn't continue the conversation.
She lightly grasped his fingertips, then withdrew them and turned to look at the distance.
Her actions displeased the other party, and his gloved hand suddenly flashed with a faint light.
Yan Zi reacted immediately and raised her hand to block the electric shock; her clothes were shockproof.
"Wow, your clothes are even shockproof!"
The man's eyes held a hint of surprise, and his voice was very deep, giving him the feel of a male protagonist in an ancient costume drama.
She just had a very bad feeling about this person; he even seemed a bit arrogant.
Yan Zi didn't like to deal with this kind of person too much, so she didn't answer his questions.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, the other person didn't bother to make a fool of themselves.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Xia Yiyan. I apologize for my behavior just now."
Xia Yiyan's tone became very humble, while Yan Zi smiled insincerely and simply nodded.
She ignored him and instead looked at the crowd behind him.
She called out loudly, "The time has come, I'm about to begin, is everyone ready?"
One sentence spread through everyone's ears.
For some reason, everyone around suddenly straightened their backs, and then a very loud "That's enough!" instantly spread among them.
Yan Zi was very satisfied with their state, and then chose the time for the sacrificial ceremony without hesitation.
You have one chance to win a prize. Would you like to choose when to hold the ceremony?
Yan Zi: "Use!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire altar emitted a pale golden light.
The people standing in the front row all had fanatical looks in their eyes.
This is gold! If they can get a treasure from it, they'll be several levels ahead of their peers.
Yan Zi was also somewhat surprised; she never expected that the opening would directly produce a golden color.
This is not a good thing; this is a case of fortune and misfortune being intertwined.
The higher the quality and grade of gold, the greater the potential for disaster.
Yan Zi immediately wrapped her clothes tighter around herself and, still feeling uneasy, cast several shields on herself.
He then gestured to the people behind him to step back.
Apart from her allies and guild leaders who heeded her advice to retreat, no one else listened. Instead of retreating, they charged forward.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yan Zi shrank back several meters.
The powerful figures all remained where they were, not daring to move forward, but also not retreating.
As the golden light shone brighter and brighter, Yan Zi's unease became even more pronounced.
It seems like something terrible is about to be produced.
She immediately turned tail and ran backward, ignoring the strange looks from the crowd, and kept rushing backward.
That running speed was incredible; it was so fast it almost left a blur...
Just as everyone was having doubts, a loud tremor shook the altar, followed by a golden light shooting into the sky, revealing a golden skill book in the center of the altar...
Everyone stared intently at the skill book, completely captivated and mesmerized by it, rushing towards its location step by step.
Although the people standing at the front were greatly affected, they were able to break free quickly because of their own strength.
But as soon as they broke free, they found that their teammates were rushing over like zombies, completely irrational, and no matter how much they shouted or yelled, it was useless.
"Stop! Stop right now! Look carefully at who's in front of you!"
"If you don't stop, I'll kick you out of the team!"
What are you all doing here?
"..."
Despite repeated questioning, the group of lunatics remained unmoved, even pushing and shoving their way forward...
Several level 30 veterans looked at each other, realizing that something was wrong.
It seems that the golden energy wave has a great attraction for people below level 20!
Xia Yiyan immediately went to check on the woman, but couldn't find her.
A young man next to him, seeing his appearance, cautiously asked, "Boss, you're not looking for that girl named Yan Zi, are you?"
Xia Yiyan nodded, a hint of hostility on her face.
"Wasn't she standing here the whole time? Why can't we find her now?"
The young man pointed to a large group of people behind him.
"When Miss Yan Zi realized something was wrong, she ran straight back without looking back at all."
Upon hearing this, Xia Yiyan's veins bulged, and he coldly questioned, "She ran away, didn't you tell me?"
The young man felt very wronged by his outburst. It wasn't that he didn't want to talk; he was beaten when he was about to come over, so how could he have had a chance to speak?
He was just about to say something in his defense when he heard him coldly give orders to the others:
"Quickly wake them up, then move closer to that woman!"
His men surrounding him all looked troubled.
"Boss, it's not that we don't want to retreat, it's that we simply can't control these people."
"Yeah! We can't really kill them!"
"That's right, that's right..."
Xia Yiyan frowned deeply, and roared in exasperation, "Can't you find a therapist? Can't you try splashing water on them to wake them up?"
After Xia Yiyan finished speaking, several water-attribute ability users stepped forward and launched a barrage of water cannon attacks at the faces of those people.
It must be said that the effect was quite good; at least most of them had regained consciousness, while the few who were still dazed were tied up, and the therapists were working hard to help with the treatment.
The main force was dragged backward and soon moved out of danger.
From afar, the group of people Yan Zi brought were watching them.
The people in the icy and snowy region were furious at this glaring scene; their faces were grim, and they seemed to be brewing their anger.
The first to be hit was a pretty girl. She was in a very disheveled state, especially with a bright red handprint on her face. The slap had swollen her face into a bun, making her look quite ferocious.
Yan Zi blinked, looking at her makeup, then at the woman in green standing next to her.
"You can't blame anyone for being affected by illusion magic. Even if you have to blame someone, you should blame the person next to you. She's the one who attacked you. What does it have to do with me?"
Shangguan Xue was stunned for a moment.
It seems... it seems that's really the case.
She had barely begun to think about it when the woman in blue beside her whispered in her ear.
“Xiaoxue, I didn’t hurt you. I was saving you. This woman is trying to make us fall out by not explaining things clearly. Look, we came here to reason with her, but she’s distorting my words like this.”
Yan Zi: "..."
