Scanning the surrounding rooms, Ning Feng skipped over one that seemed somewhat familiar, finally looking at the priest before him and asking softly:
"Could I stay in your room for the night?"
Staring intently at Ning Feng, the pastor fell silent once more.
After a while, he turned around, dragging the long chain on the ground, and slowly walked back.
Walking away with his back to Ning Feng, the priest slowly spoke:
"plz follow me."
...
...
Stepping out of her hiding room, Shirin quickly noticed the blood moon in the sky and realized that something was wrong.
A battle did indeed break out outside, but it wasn't between the contestants; it was a battle between them and undead creatures.
Because she hadn't gone out before, Shirin didn't know that these undead creatures were just ordinary people before, and she was actually quite relieved.
"Luckily I didn't come out of the secret room before, otherwise something bad would have happened."
That's so me!
She instinctively tried to cast several spells on herself, but after casting invisibility, she remembered that she was still being watched by others, so she had to temporarily switch to flight.
Flight is not a profound spell, but layering other spells on top of other spells requires skill and operational ability that is not easily mastered by an average third-tier spellcaster.
Although it is rare, some exceptionally talented spellcasters or those who have practiced flying diligently can still master it, so it's not too outrageous.
Floating in the sky, Shirin looked down at the city that was once peaceful but is now filled with battles and carnage.
She observed the other contestants, but did not offer any help even as she watched them being torn apart by the enraged undead.
Shirin wasn't the kind of sentimental saint; she was well aware of where she was.
This is a competition venue, not a place for her to enthusiastically help others. Even if she has good intentions, it would be meaningless at this time.
These contestants are enemies, at least Ning Feng's enemies.
If she intervenes, the person she saves may later have an impact on Ning Feng or even cause her harm, and she will not tolerate such a thing happening.
It was already a sign of her mercy that she didn't resort to underhanded tactics.
If anyone were to ask her to do more, that would be wishful thinking.
Shirin simply observed, like an outsider detached from the situation, silently looking down from high above.
Gradually, Shirin realized that something was wrong.
Are these people really that... amateurish?
Unable to think of any other words to describe it, Shirin could only use this one word to describe the scene she saw.
Even if these undead creatures are powerful, even if they can't deal with them, they shouldn't have to be reduced to running away like stray dogs, right?
Even if we can't trust other people, isn't it a good option to unite for a short period of time?
"Unless...unless they never even considered this possibility?"
No, it won't happen.
They must be confident enough to participate in such a competition; they can't be so clueless as to not understand this basic principle.
"That is, their distrust of others has reached the point where it affects their subjective judgment."
These contestants all seemed to have become extremely emotional, and their negative emotions seemed to have been amplified without them even realizing it.
For no apparent reason, Shireen thought of that sentence she had heard before:
Under the crimson moon, everything will return to its original state.
"Is this how everything was originally?"
I looked up at the huge red moon in the sky.
"Is this the change it has brought about?"
Xilin frowned slightly, unsure of what to do.
Is it limited to this one city? Or does it cover the entire island?
If it's the latter...
"This doesn't seem like a domain anymore."
It's more like the rules have been changed.
Has someone above the legendary level made a move?
"Does Jasmine's family have such a background? Or is it..."
Having spent some time with Ning Feng, Xilin was also influenced by him during their conversations.
think.
Actively think about things, and consider everything as the worst-case scenario.
Thinking may not always bring results, but without thinking, there is no way to discover the truth.
"The situation surrounding 'Star Chaser' is so special this time, and even Archmage Augustus is making an exception to attend..."
Moreover, even though she hadn't regained her legendary abilities, Shirin still sensed danger based on her legendary intuition.
Within this city, there were several places that exuded an aura that gave her an intuitive sense of unease.
Castles, towers, temples.
Of the three, the aura emanating from the temple was the most ominous.
"Hopefully Ning Feng can avoid these places."
However, Xilin had no idea that Ning Feng was the one she was worried about at this moment...
He was sitting peacefully in the pastor's room.
Ning Feng held the tea the pastor had handed him, looking at the floating insects inside, but his hand rested on the cup and he found it difficult to lift it...
No, this is simply unacceptable!
Keep it up!
I am Ning Feng Bell Grylls!
These mere insects are no match for you... Ugh.
Just as he was pondering how to reasonably skip the tea-tasting part, an opportunity arose.
Sitting opposite Ning Feng, the priest looked at him and slowly asked:
Do you have a faith?
