after entering the mission scene, we will still be ‘friends’. Before the prompt is clear, we can cooperate with each other. The scholarly man pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and said with a smile,”
“In order not to hurt the harmony between friends, let’s all make an oath that I’ll go first.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of them nodded with a smile.
The scholar raised his hand and said,”
“I swear, after everyone enters the mission, I won’t attack you by surprise.”
He put his hand down, and the young man raised his hand as well. “I swear that I won’t launch a sneak attack before everyone enters the mission and the situation is unclear.”
Then, the man in the suit, the crew-cut guy, and even number seven, who came in later, raised their hands and swore.
Among the cultivators, only the older woman and song qingxiao had not made their vows.
Everyone’s eyes fell on the two of them. The woman also repeated the words of the scholar with a faint smile. Song Qing looked down on this farce and did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, when she saw that everyone was waiting for her with a smile, she followed suit and said,
“I swear, after entering the mission, I will not launch a sneak attack.”
This sentence actually had no binding force. In fact, because of the brutal competition in the trial arena, when everyone made the oath, they did not reveal their names. They did not even dare to say anything that would go against the oath.
After everyone made their vows, the atmosphere became much more ‘harmonious’ than before. When the young man suggested that everyone enter the mission scenario together, no one had any objections.
The few of them walked closer. The man in the suit, the refined scholar, and the crew-cut guy who entered the trial space first were closer to them, while the older woman was a little further away from the three of them.
Among the three people who entered later, number seven looked at number six and song qingxiao for a long time. In the end, he chose to stand next to song qingxiao.
After they were ready, everyone took a step forward, stepping out of the space and into the thick fog.
The moment she entered the fog, song qingxiao subconsciously made a hand seal and pressed the dagger hidden at her waist with the other hand. At the same time, she heard the sound of wind blowing in her ear. She instinctively dodged to the side, and a fist brushed past her shoulder. She took out the dagger at her waist. The owner of the fist realized that something was wrong and quickly retracted his hand, but he was not as fast as song qingxiao.
Although the dagger didn’t severely injure the hand, it left a shallow cut on the back of the hand. The skin and flesh were split open, and blood slowly flowed out. Someone in the distance shouted,”
“Hey, what are you guys doing?”
Song qingxiao quickly put the dagger back to her waist and got into a defensive posture. She blinked her eyes, and the thick fog around her dispersed. She stood on the deck, and not far away, the man in the suit, who had just vowed not to launch a sneak attack, was already fighting with the crew-cut guy.
About a step away from her, the young man who was number six retracted his fist with a gloomy face. He looked at her with a mixture of shock and anger.
The back of young man number six’s hand was cut about three or four centimeters long. Fortunately, the wound was not deep, but the blood flowed out a lot. After a while, the blood gathered along the back of his hand in his palm and dripped down.
Song qingxiao put down her guard and took a few steps back to put some distance between her and the young man. There were about seven or eight people standing in the distance, frowning and looking at them unhappily. These people should be the characters in the mission scene.
She turned around and saw that all seven participants were present in the boundless space. It seemed that the mission would be in the same scene again. Everyone was on a big ship, surrounded by the boundless sea. Seagulls flew across the surface of the sea. Under the sun, the temperature was very hot, and the sea breeze had a salty and wet feeling.
“What are you guys doing?”
The few trial-takers immediately broke the contract the moment they entered the scenario. Their actions were seen by the people on the ship and they were stopped.
Everyone looked at each other and retracted their hands with uncertain expressions. The few scene characters who were standing in the distance walked over and frowned.
“We need to work together on this trip.”
From her previous experience in the trial, song Qing was very clear that sometimes, the words of the people in the mission scene would give her a huge hint. She nodded obediently to show that she understood, and then quietly listened.
There was no ‘tap tap tap tap’ sound of the countdown in her mind like the last time. At the same time, there was no countdown in her sight. This should mean that there was no time limit for this mission.
However, just because there was no time limit did not mean that the mission would be easy. She licked the corner of her lips. It was very likely that this trial would be much more dangerous than the previous one.
The storyline characters on the side were still criticizing him unhappily. Song Qing was distracted by these people’s murmurs while paying attention to his sea of consciousness. When he entered the mission scene, a prompt appeared in his sea of consciousness.
The notification this time was slightly similar to the one from the first trial, but there were some differences.
The similarity was that there were a total of six circular shadows in this trial. The difference was that these six circular shadows were not arranged in a square formation like in the first trial. Instead, the six shadows were combined with dotted lines to form a hexagonal pattern, similar to the seal shape of the legendary magic array. Each shadow was located at the corner of the seal.
From the experience of the first trial, these shadows should only light up after a certain event occurred.
There was a hint under the hexagonal seal:
Mission? [ completion: 2000 points ]
Song qingxiao was moved when she saw the number of points.
This time, the points reward had been upgraded, more than double the previous time, and this did not include the reward for the subsequent kills.
Based on past experience, the higher the reward, the harder it was to survive.
Not to mention that in the middle of the mission completion, there were two question marks. The trial space’s mission prompt, every point couldn’t be ignored.
This question mark most likely meant that the choice had not been confirmed yet. In other words, this mission was very likely to be the same as the previous one. He had to make a choice before he could finally determine the direction of the mission.
She took a deep breath and moved her mind away from the hints. She saw that each trial-taker had a different expression.
Some were frowning, some couldn’t hide their joy, some looked serious, and some were worried.
The young man, number six, looked at her with a dark gaze. He bit his lip and pulled off the tie around his neck. He wrapped it around his injured hand and stopped the bleeding.
Song qingjiang saw his expression. This person already had the intention to kill her. From the moment he entered the medium and chose to snatch her position, there was a feud between the two.
Therefore, after swearing, the moment he entered the trial site, he immediately attacked song qingxiao and was ready to kill her.
A person who harbored such enmity towards him could not be allowed to live.
However, she remembered the hint in her consciousness and vaguely felt that she could not kill the trial-taker so easily.
Although it was much more difficult to kill people as everyone’s strength increased, the trial this time had more than 2000 points. The mission couldn’t be simple and brutal killing of each other..
