Alice quickly read through the entire mission details, which made her frown. She hadn't expected that after only a few months in a coma, they would only have Holy Light City left.
The situation is so serious, no wonder the chat group posted such a task. The points reward looks tempting, 100,000 points guaranteed, a minimum guarantee.
Then Alice looked at the participants below. Well, 5 people had given up the task, leaving 3 people: Gou Sheng, Xin Ren, Jiu Shu, Lao Ren, Chen Ping, and the group leader.
Hmm? Group owner!
Alice's eyes widened involuntarily as she kept switching between the chat group and reality. No wonder, no wonder he looked familiar. It was because she had carefully observed the group owner, Chen Ping, when she was invited to join the chat group.
Alice exclaimed in disbelief, "Group...group owner?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded and smiled, "Nice to meet you, member of the Alice group."
Alice took a deep breath and greeted the group owner politely, "Hello, group owner."
Upon hearing this, Gelinya couldn't help but say, "Wait, aren't you friends of Lady Alice? How come this is your first meeting? Wait, Chen Ping, how did you get Lady Alice's photo?"
Grinya felt a little confused.
Upon hearing this, Alice asked curiously, "Photos? What photos?"
(⊙o⊙)…
Grinya noticed the awkward atmosphere and quickly changed the subject to break the deadlock: "Ahem, by the way, Lady Iris, you may not know this, but Lady Gabriel also possesses the power of Holy Light."
Just as Grinya had predicted, the mention of "Holy Light" immediately shifted Iris's attention away from the photograph. Her gaze was instantly drawn to Gabriel, her eyes sparkling with surprise and anticipation as she looked at her with fervent eyes, as if she had found a like-minded soulmate.
Seeing this, Gabriel glanced at her expressionlessly a few times, nodded to her, and then looked away, continuing to stare blankly at Chen Ping.
Uh, Alice was at a loss again. You see, ever since the demon invasion began, she suddenly gained the power of holy light and then began to build the Holy Light City. All the materials were completed according to some kind of instruction.
The final instruction was for the mission that had plunged her into nightmares: to bring back a Holy Light Stone.
She always had an invisible sense of mission that made her dare not stop for even a moment, and she kept moving forward. Sure enough, in the end, this Holy Light City became the last refuge for everyone.
Now that she has learned that Gabriel also possesses the power of holy light, Iris's loneliness has dissipated considerably, and she is filled with curiosity and affection for Gabriel.
Meanwhile, Gabriel's name was not on the task participant list, leading Alice to speculate that she might be a local resident. However, considering the presence of the group leader, Chen Ping, this judgment became less certain.
After all, as the group admin, it wouldn't be difficult for her to transport people to the worlds of other group members. Therefore, Iris couldn't determine whether Gabriel was a native of this world.
However, Alice realized that figuring out the answer was actually quite simple; she just needed to ask. So she asked, "Group Leader, did you bring Lady Gabriel into this world?"
Chen Ping nodded slightly to confirm, "Yes, I brought it. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Ping nodded: "Yes, that's right. What's wrong?"
Upon hearing this, Alice shook her head somewhat bitterly and said, "No, it's nothing, I was just curious..."
Seeing this, Chen Ping shook his head. He had only brought Gabriel here on a whim, but after arriving, he discovered that the situation in this world was somewhat helpful to Gabriel, and might even allow her strength to reach a higher level.
This feeling was even stronger when I saw the power of holy light within Alice.
Therefore, Chen Ping has decided to leave the entire mission to Gabriel. Although from the perspective of the Heavenly Dao, it doesn't matter which side wins, things have started to change since he and Gabriel came in.
Especially after Tiandao learns that Alice is a member of the chat group, Tiandao will definitely side with Alice.
Otherwise, this mission wouldn't have been so bad—to protect the Holy Light City for 30 days. If he and Gabriel hadn't come in, this world would definitely have been taken over by demons. It's a pity that he and Gabriel came.
After confirming that Gabriel was not from her world, Iris felt a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up because she realized that with the group leader Chen Ping around, perhaps those seemingly invincible demons were no longer insurmountable obstacles.
She pondered to herself whether she should pray and consult the mysterious force that had been guiding her in the darkness, seeking further help and answers. Just then, a low, terrifying howl pierced the sky.
Waaah~~~
Waaaaaah!!
Grinya immediately stood up, her brows furrowed, and said, "That sound... it seems the demons are about to launch a new attack! Lady Alice, I'll go to the city walls to check the situation."
Alice: "Okay, be careful, Grinya."
Having just recovered, she is completely too weak to get up, let alone stand up.
Gou Sheng looked tense. The demons had begun their attack? He couldn't help but recall the overwhelming hordes of demons on the screen, which made him ask Uncle Jiu beside him, "Uncle Jiu, can we really hold them off? With that many, they could drown me in their spittle!"
Upon hearing this, Uncle Nine looked at the trembling Gou Sheng and slapped him on the back of the head, saying, "What are you afraid of? At worst, you can just leave the mission world. Besides, with the group leader here, we don't even need to lift a finger for this mission. Just wait for a windfall."
Gou Sheng couldn't help but look at Chen Ping, then asked Uncle Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, is the group leader really that powerful? He looks pretty much like an ordinary person, maybe a little handsome at most."
Uncle Nine: "Hehe, it's normal that you're a newcomer and don't know. Let me put it this way: when I first came in, my strength was just average, only a mid-stage Earth Master. But now, I've become an immortal, let alone the group leader. I'll only become more powerful."
"Okay, let's go. I'll take you to see the demon. To be honest, I've seen plenty of demons and monsters, but this is the first time I've ever seen a demon like this. I'm a little curious."
After saying that, Uncle Nine picked up Gou Sheng and flew towards the Holy Light City Wall.
