A group of seven people were running through the underground tunnel.
A full four hours passed.
They found a dry corner and took a short rest.
Wu Xiaode sat there drinking water.
Even though Plantain and Big Tooth were resting, they were still surrounding him.
The leader of the team is called Augustine.
He is a very rare magic swordsman.
The other two men were brothers, one named Bird and the other Burton.
Bird is a poison warlock and Burton is a heavy gunner.
Along the way, Big Tooth and Plantain looked to Burton for advice on firearms and shooting.
As for the purple-haired woman——
She calls herself "Salina" and is an assassin with ghostly skills.
This team brings together the Swordsman, Venomancer, Heavy, Assassin and Healer, as well as the Healer's two guardians.
Captain Augustin is quite satisfied with this configuration.
However, considering the situation he would face later, he hesitated for a moment, finally stood up and came to Wu Xiaode.
"Xiao Wu, the situation will change quickly in a while, and you may need your healing skills."
Augustine said.
"Of course, this is what I do, I don't know how to paddle, don't worry." Wu Xiaode assured him.
"I know, but you don't seem to have very high attainments in healing, so..."
He opened the heavy book and turned to the sacred page.
A giant tree made of holy light suddenly appeared on the paper.
One by one, the skill icons of the sacred side appeared on the giant tree of light, revealing various strange phenomena.
"Learn a stronger skill first. I know that your holy side spends a lot of money, so this is the compensation the team provides you."
Augustine said.
Wu Xiaode said happily: "Thank you very much, captain."
It was indeed interesting for the other party to do this, and he also felt that he wanted to strengthen his sacred side skills, so he chose carefully.
Soon.
Wu Xiaode pointed to one of the icons and said, "I choose this one."
Augustine took a look, put his hand on the page, and muttered an obscure spell in a low voice.
The sacred light tree suddenly lit up.
The icon turned into a golden light and hit Wu Xiaode directly.
In an instant, lines of small words in ice crystals appeared:
"With the power of books, you have learned the sacred skills:"
"Fair trial."
"When you identify the target as holy, the healing effect is increased by 10%-100%; when you identify the target as evil, the damage effect on the target is increased by 10%-100%."
"How to use: Under the sacred witness, conduct trial certification on the target."
"(The fee you pay will determine the value of the effect, up to a maximum of 100%.)"
Several other people looked at it and nodded slightly.
This skill is both offensive and defensive. It can not only help the team attack, but also better heal everyone's injuries. It is indeed a good team battle skill.
"It's strange that we have gone deep into the lizard people's territory, but we haven't been attacked by them."
Augustine said.
"The magic powder I released didn't react at all. It seems they didn't even bother to track it." Bird said.
"Let's set off after you've rested. Don't give the lizard people a chance to entangle us." Selina said.
Wu Xiaode looked towards her.
The others were gasping for air and covered in sweat from the all-out trek for several hours.
She acted like nothing was wrong.
Everyone take a break.
five minutes later.
Augustine asked everyone to prepare to leave.
The second long journey begins.
Three hours later.
Everyone is crossing a broken bridge.
——Wu Xiaode did not expect to see such a majestic bridge deep underground.
As for the others——
Plantain and Toothy had no idea what this meant.
Augustine and others had already expected it.
"Here we go, cross the bridge and we're at the place."
Augustine said excitedly.
Wu Xiaode was about to walk forward when he suddenly found Salina paused.
She glanced at herself, then sped up and ran forward first.
what's the situation?
Wu Xiaode was startled, but he immediately reacted.
She seemed to have deliberately distanced herself from herself, looking like——
avoid arousing suspicion.
I'm not familiar with her, so what should she avoid?
An ominous thought hit Wu Xiaode's mind.
At this moment, he made a seemingly completely unrelated decision without hesitation.
"lizard Man……"
"Come all, hurry!"
With a thought, he ordered the shadow followers on the Book of the Dead.
this moment.
Selina just glanced at him and ran forward quickly.
Others were observing the condition of the bridge.
Wu Xiaode issued the command to summon the lizard people in his heart, and without even pausing for half a second, he opened his mouth and said loudly:
"I identify the team members around me as agents of the divine, and all existences with malicious intentions towards us are evil!"
While he was reading, he turned his ring and released a pile of gold bricks, which fell to the ground with a clatter and formed a hill.
Selina turned around suddenly and looked at him with a strange look.
The hour hand jumps.
——From the first time she saw Wu Xiaode to when Wu Xiaode summoned the lizard men, launched a fair trial, and released a pile of gold bricks, just two seconds had passed.
The second hand jumps one space again.
The third second.
The holy light falls from the void and falls on everyone.
The treatment effect is increased by 100%!
Augustine felt the divine power and warned:
"Xiao Wu, what did you find?"
Before Wu Xiaode could speak, he suddenly felt the void around him fluctuate.
All of a sudden.
Two lines of small luminous characters appeared in the void:
"The Jiuyao Sequence is about to add reinforcements to you."
"No reinforcements!" Wu Xiaode said loudly in his heart, "You clearly said you were afraid of me being exposed, but in the end you kept sending people over to kill me. Sequence, do you want to complete this legendary mission?"
The words have not yet fallen.
Augustine's expression changed, he took out the book and quickly turned it to a certain page.
"This guy is a slave of Sequence!"
Augustine said angrily.
Bird and Burton were about to take action immediately.
Sudden changes occurred——
I saw a fluctuation in the void, and dozens of figures quietly emerged.
——They are teleporting here!
Augustine had already drawn the magic sword, but when he saw the battle, he immediately subconsciously understood the current situation.
"It's a Sequence trap! Don't fall into the trap, retreat quickly - retreat to the ruins!"
he shouted.
Bird and Burton immediately retreated and followed him towards the other side of the bridge.
Only Wu Xiaode was left with an expressionless face and retreated.
He exited the bridge and said:
"Ready to fight."
The words fell.
Although Plantain and Big Tooth are still confused, they will be ready to fight immediately.
Wu Xiaode glanced at Selina from a distance.
"Jiu Yao can't accomplish this legendary mission at all. Its organizational structure is rubbish and will only destroy the entire situation."
Wu Xiaode said in a message.
Selina looked complicated and responded: "Did you notice the clues when I looked at you just now?"
"Yes," Wu Xiaode admitted generously, "I guess you stay away from me because something is going to happen to me that is inconvenient for you to get involved in."
"Your reaction is quite amazing, but...Jiu Yao never knows how to adapt..."
Salina sighed, turned around, joined Augustin, and ran towards the depths of the bridge.
At this point the transfer is complete.
Dozens of figures quietly appeared not far from Wu Xiaode.
Festus, Chairman of the Jiuyao Executive Committee.
as well as--
Dozens of heavily armed servants.
"Trash, you actually asked me to kill you just once. You have been honored enough in this life."
Festus said viciously.
Wu Xiaode said calmly:
"I'm completing a legendary mission for the Jiuyao Sequence. I don't believe you dare to kill me under its gaze."
He continued:
"Jiu Yao, President Festus didn't teleport earlier or later. He chose this moment to activate the sequence and teleport here. I have been excluded from the human team. This is a sabotage of the legendary mission."
Festus was about to take action immediately, but when he heard what he said, he suddenly stopped.
He made a calming gesture to his men.
"Wait a minute, I will plunge him into the deepest despair, and then slowly torture him to death."
Festus said playfully.
He looked at the small line of glowing characters in mid-air and said:
"Now I am in charge of this legendary mission, and all the original mission personnel have been eliminated."
The small luminous characters changed:
"Culling out."
"Current mission personnel: Wu Xiaode, Dajiao, and Baoya have been kicked out of the current legendary mission."
Wu Xiaode also took a look, a little surprised.
No one has ever completed this legendary mission, and Festus is actually willing to take it on?
Just listen to Festus say again:
"Spend my merit points to decline this mission for me."
The small illuminated characters change again:
"The current number of personnel performing the legendary mission is: 0."
"Mission failed again."
Festus laughed loudly, shook his head and said:
"Naive, so naive. I really don't understand why I feel uneasy."
"but--"
"If I kill you now, I will feel at ease."
Wu Xiaode listened carefully, also looked at the line of small luminous characters, and then said:
"How humble. Is this the sequence that belongs to the saint? You have been ruined by your subordinates."
"I will never work for you again, garbage sequence."
The words just fell.
There was a rustling sound in the darkness all around.
Countless lizardmen appeared in front of everyone one after another, densely covering the entire tunnel and bridge.
In the brief, suffocating silence——
Wu Xiaode suddenly let out a laugh, and wisps of black light emitted from his body, flying vertically into the air, forming an endless vortex of malice.
"Guess who survives?"
He said in a teasing tone.
