…
Just when most players were fighting the alien monsters in full swing, a three-person team hiding in the alleys of the royal city noticed the news released by the system at the same time.
"A new dungeon has been opened, and it's at an elite level." The female priest's fingertips repeatedly moved across the page, and the half of her face exposed to the sun had an obscure expression.
"Yeah, I see." The male wizard's voice was low. He leaned against the gray brick wall, looking as if he was thinking about something.
"If I remember correctly, this seems to be the first elite dungeon opened in the Shia continent!" The male archer who had been sitting on the ground stood up excitedly, "Che An, Murphy, we can finally make a comeback this time!"
"A comeback...?" Che An, who was wearing a simple wizard robe, laughed coldly.
Speaking of which, the three of them have suffered a lot since that incident.
Murphy, gripping the priest's staff, flexed his fingers fiercely. "Hmph, it's all that damned female alchemist's fault. I didn't expect her to be so scheming. She actually secretly arranged for someone to investigate us, causing us to be punished by the system and locked up for three whole days! If I see her again, I'll tear her face apart!"
"Sister Fei is right! It's just killing a blacksmith NPC, what's the big deal? If she hadn't done those little tricks, I would have successfully sold the more than 60 pieces of equipment I snatched from Bruce. What happened? Damn! I didn't make any money, but was labeled a 'murderer'. Every time I think of this, I'm so angry that I vomit blood!" Yamato Mitsuyo clenched her fists and spoke indignantly.
Those who didn't know would really think that the three of them had suffered some great injustice, but the leader Che An knew it very well. It was they who were responsible for the assassination of the blacksmith Bruce and the transfer of the blame for the assassination to Xia Rilihua.
Therefore, he did not react too much to the anger of Murphy and Yamato Mitsuyo. He just felt that the only thing they needed to reflect on was that they must be clean enough in the future and must not leave any clues like they did when they killed Bruce, which would bring trouble to themselves.
"Che An, please say something. We've been through a lot since we were released from prison. Our reputation points have been deducted to 0, which means we can't even get a single quest from an NPC. Do you know how many valuable activities and quests we've missed? And our gold coins have been deducted by 20%. How can we afford to spend money on good equipment now?"
Every time the matter of imprisonment was brought up, Murphy's mouth was like a flood that had been opened, chattering non-stop. Even the most patient person would not want to listen to her annoying complaints again and again.
Che An couldn't help but frown and interrupted Murphy: "Okay, it's all in the past."
The three of them couldn't stay stuck in that shameful memory forever.
Murphy's eyes reddened and she choked up. Yamato Mitsuyo saw that Che An was getting fed up, so she quickly came over, patted Murphy on the shoulder, and said some comforting words: "Okay, Sister Fei, Che An is right. Let the past be the past. People should look forward. Look, hasn't God sent this opportunity to us?"
"Yeah, you're right." With her attention diverted, Murphy's mood finally calmed down. She repeatedly scrolled through the dungeon information sent by the system, her eyes rolling, and suddenly asked, "Che An, do you have any ideas about this elite dungeon?"
No one knows a son better than his father, and no one knows Murphy better than Che An. Upon hearing her question, a faint smile slowly appeared on Che An's originally cold face: "Why, I see you have an idea?"
Murphy snorted twice: "Of course, who am I?"
Yamato Mitsuyo applauded, "Mastermind Fei-sister!"
The two of them sang in unison, and the heavy atmosphere relaxed.
Murphy unfolded the world map and pointed to the northernmost Frost Land of Sevier: "This time the dungeon will be opened here."
Yamato Mitsuyo couldn't help but exclaimed, "So far?"
The subtext is that there are alien monsters everywhere outside. How can the three of them reach their destination safely and quickly?
Murphy certainly understood Yamato Mitsuyo's tone. She nudged him lightly with her elbow and said, "Did you forget I have teleportation arrays on me? A whole stack of them."
Yamato Mitsuyo suddenly realized: "Oh, now I remember, wasn't it you who snatched it from that stupid president back then?"
Murphy smiled with his eyes curved. "Yes, the former president of Bei Ming You Yu, Bei Shan Lang."
"Since there is a teleportation array, let's go there quickly." Yamato Mitsuyo urged.
Murphy rolled his eyes at him. "Why are you as stupid as that Beishan Wolf? This is an elite level! How can we defeat it with just the three of us?"
In fact, there is no requirement for the number of teams in the elite version opened this time. Of course, out of responsibility, the system has kindly marked a recommended number of people at the end: 5-8 people.
For Che An and the other two, the fewer people who could share the fruits of victory with them, the better. However, considering the chances of success, Murphy felt that they had to form a standard team of at least five people.
"So what do you mean...?" Yamato Mitsuyo scratched her head.
"Call someone." Murphy said and turned his gaze to Che An, who was the only one in their three-person team who could make the final decision.
Che An thought about it and nodded: "Yes, pull people."
The effect of calling out to people in the world was not satisfactory. Murphy threw several gold coins in, but in the end, no splash was made.
"No way, no one is clearing the land?" She was a little frustrated.
Yamato Mitsuyo was also quite anxious: "What's going on with these people? They're not even actively trying to get the first kill!"
"The situation on the entire continent is turbulent right now, with monsters running rampant. Plus, the system now has a 'no resurrection' setting, so players are very cautious about new dungeons." Che An analyzed calmly.
"Then...how about I add another guarantee?" Murphy blinked. "I'm a priest, and my level is pretty high. I'll say I can guarantee that all team members will return with full health."
"Can."
I sent the team formation message again, and this time, within a few seconds, the application message beeped.
"A warrior. Agreed?" Murphy asked.
Che An: "Come in."
After a while, Che An suddenly noticed that Murphy's face looked a little ugly.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
Murphy stared closely at the name written behind the applicant, confirming countless times in her mind that she was not dazzled and had not seen it wrong, and then she said slowly: "It's her..."
"who?"
"That alchemist, Natsuhi Rika."
After safely sending Leng Bingshuang and Xin Zexi back to the Dark Storm's guild headquarters, Xia Li noticed that the system had released news about a new copy five minutes ago.
After browsing the world channel, there was not a single message asking for a team.
But it's understandable.
After all, now players are resisting or fleeing, and many guilds are also experiencing conflicts because of this, and the situation is ever-changing.
When life is not guaranteed, how can one open up a dungeon? Almost no one dares to think about it.
However, just when Xia Li was about to give up the team and go on her own, she suddenly received the message [Successfully joined the team] in the automatic matching state.
Even more coincidentally, the current coordinates of the team she joined were only fifty meters away from her.
When she quickly ran to the coordinates and glanced at the team members' IDs...
"Oh, what a narrow road for enemies." Murphy squinted at her with a sinister look, "I didn't expect you to have the nerve to come here?"
Xia Li: "I didn't expect the murderer to be so crazy?"
"you……!"
When Murphy heard the word "murderer", he felt like he was stabbed. He was so angry that he rushed up to fight her.
Xia Li wasn't afraid either. She just stood there relaxed, looking like she was enjoying the show. "What? You want to score a brace again and go to jail?"
If you beat people up in the royal city, you will be arrested by the guards.
When Murphy thought of the experience of being locked up in prison for seven days, she simply didn't want to recall it. She gritted her teeth in anger, and her raised fist paused in the air for several seconds before she swallowed it back into her stomach.
"I advise you to be polite to me now, otherwise you will have to beg me to save you when you enter the dungeon later." She is a priest, the most popular profession that players hold in their hearts. If you anger her, you will only suffer the consequences.
Xia Li shrugged, not taking the other party's threat seriously.
Led by Che An, the five-member team was teleported directly to the entrance of the dungeon via the teleportation array.
The blue aperture of the copy was looming in the cold wind, and Che An, Yamato Mitsuyo, Murphy and the warrior Brave Niu Niu entered the aperture one after another.
No one noticed that Xia Li, who was walking at the end, suddenly started talking to someone.
"So this is how you eliminate viruses in the game?"
"Um……"
The Eye in the Sky loomed over the cold land: "But this time the invasion is not a virus, but..."
"I know, you said it before," Xia Li interrupted. "The Cosmic Hunter, a cosmic cancer that you gaming systems are terrified of."
"Yes. For millions of years, it has continued to expand by swallowing up other weak systems in the universe. My friend was eaten by it during a journey through the universe."
"Then he targeted me, and I was forced to migrate in order to survive."
"I moved the game location from another planet to your planet, Tost. I originally thought he wouldn't notice me this time, but I didn't expect him to find the planet's coordinates so quickly."
Having said that, the Eye in the Sky sighed deeply.
"Come to think of it, it's my fault that your planet Tost is in this state now."
Xia Li:?
Eye in the Sky: "Space Hunters are usually accompanied by star beasts and insects. Wherever they go, the star beasts follow them, so..."
Xia Li: "So you are the real planet destroyer?"
The Eye in the Sky was horrified when he heard this: "I'm not! I didn't!"
Xia Li raised her eyebrows.
The Eye of the Sky was anxious: "Oh, oh, oh, I swear I have no ill intentions! You can tell by my name, my name is Chronos, the symbol of the patron saint!"
