Transformed into a heartthrob's simp, every day is a battleground.

Chapter 225 Ice Crevice

The main system and you have reached a consensus.

Yan Xun: "..."

Do I know you well? Have we even reached a consensus?

He hadn't even had a chance to investigate how the green dinosaur and the main system had conspired to deceive him.

Also, when did I give you permission to eavesdrop on my thoughts?

Yan Xun mentally gave the main system the middle finger, and then told Gao Wen and the others the conclusion he had guessed, "What the old man wants is probably more than just resurrection. Wen Yuanzheng had already developed a grudge against the old man, so there's no reason for him to be persuaded so easily."

Yan Xun looked at the group of three and said, "Completing the dungeon and getting the rewards is not enough to make Wen Yuanzheng change his mind immediately."

"The old man must have promised him something even more tempting."

As for what that is.

Yan Xun leaned against the railing, watching the ice wall and the players approaching the cracks in it...

“Being resurrected or living forever are not necessary things for Wen Yuanzheng.”

Wen Yuanzheng is still alive; there's no need for him to come back to life.

Immortality was too far-fetched for Wen Yuanzheng.

Yan Xun thought for a while, and suddenly an outrageous guess popped into his head: "Could that thing make people gods?"

……

Wen Yuan was walking at the front, followed by the bearded man and his henchmen.

Perhaps blinded by the lure of being the first to complete the hidden mission, once they calmed down in the snow and looked at the ice wall in front of them and the crevice they didn't know when they would reach, the bearded man already felt some regret.

He suddenly remembered that his initial expectation for this dungeon was simply to be able to clear it smoothly.

Everyone knows that the second promotion mission is very difficult, and most players die in this mission.

But after learning about the hidden mission, the bearded man couldn't care less about anything else... He looked up at Wen Yuanzheng, who was walking faster and faster, and really couldn't understand why this guy had such a strong physique.

"Brother Wen, why don't you slow down and wait for us?"

The bearded man couldn't help but speak up.

Now that he's trying to curry favor with Wen Yuanzheng again, his tone has naturally become much more polite.

Wen Yuanzheng seemed not to hear them at all, and even quickened his pace, causing the bearded man behind him to curse inwardly. Just as he muttered a few words under his breath, Wen Yuanzheng suddenly turned around—

"What did you say?"

The bearded man thought he had been overheard cursing him, and hurriedly explained, "I said, why don't we take a break?"

He looked back at the Terror, which was already some distance away from them, and said, "I don't think they'll be able to catch up anytime soon."

Wen Yuanzheng's face was expressionless. He looked at the bearded man, as if he was pondering his words.

"No."

He spoke quickly.

"We don't have that much time."

"Unless you want Yan Xun to catch up with you and steal the hidden mission."

He ignored the bearded man and walked straight ahead, as if nothing was more important than getting to the crevasse.

The henchman standing nearby sensed something was wrong and patted the bearded man on the shoulder. "Is he possessed by something?"

The two of them had stopped at the same time, but Wen Yuan continued to walk briskly forward, even walking faster and faster, seemingly completely unaffected by the terrain.

"Should we... wait a bit?" the follower asked somewhat uneasily.

The legends of the Sea of ​​Evil Spirits and the colossal creature within the ice wall made him uneasy.

Especially as he got closer to the ice wall, the presence of that thing became stronger and stronger, to the point that he felt panicked just by looking up, even though the thing showed no signs of moving at all.

The bearded man hesitated upon hearing this.

He glanced at Wen Yuanzheng, who was rushing around, and then at his follower who was clearly afraid. On the one hand, he thought that this man was cowardly and would definitely not be able to accomplish anything. On the other hand, he was also made uneasy by the evil spirit mentioned by his follower.

Whether it was the Sea of ​​Evil Spirits, the Terror Ship, or the monsters inside the ice wall, they all made him feel very dangerous.

But when he looked up again, he saw that Wen Yuanzheng had already taken dozens of meters forward while they were talking. He gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't want to go, then stay here!"

"I want to go take a look!"

As he spoke, he called out to Wen Yuanzheng, "Brother Wen, wait for me."

When the follower heard this, he thought that the bearded man was no good. He hadn't forgotten that when they didn't want to go to the captain's cabin, the bearded man wanted him and another person to go... and that other person had been thrown off the Terror by the crew yesterday.

He looked up at Wen Yuanzheng and the ice wall, then looked back at the Terror Ship, the red dolphins swimming near it, and the occasional water column in the distance... Finally, he decided to go back first!

But as he was about to move forward, he suddenly felt the ice sheet beneath his feet begin to tremble violently.

He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

He seemed to suddenly understand something, and when he looked back at the ice wall, he felt that there were very tiny cracks in the ice wall.

……

When the tremors occurred, some panic broke out on the Terror.

As Yan Xun and the others were making preparations, the dolphins that had been surrounding the Terror suddenly dispersed, as if they had sensed something terrifying.

"Oh dear, it seems like they're fighting amongst themselves."

Gao Wen patted Yan Xun.

"look."

He pointed to the group of three and noticed that two of them continued forward while leaning against the ice wall, while the bearded man and Wen Yuanzheng were some distance apart, and the third person was facing the direction of the Terror Ship, seemingly preparing to return.

Yan Xun squinted at Wen Yuanzheng, who was walking forward, and asked, "Is he usually this fast?"

Gao Wen tilted his head back and tried to recall carefully. "No, right?"

Although Qin Ke had partially revealed his identity, he had no intention of causing trouble for the time being. He simply stood calmly beside them, and when he heard the two talking, he just looked at the three of them. After a while, he said, "It's possible that the person using his body now is that so-called old man."

Gu Jia remained silent, still wary of Qin Ke. Apart from Gao Wen, who was completely unaware of the situation, Qin Ke's identity was already considered prestigious in his and Yan Xun's eyes.

"Is this a complete possession?" Gawain couldn't help but ask.

"Let's go down too."

Yan Xun said.

He felt that the shadow inside the ice wall seemed to have become clearer.

……

Wen Yuanzheng's body was now under the control of the old man.

The system sensed something was wrong and began shouting in Wen Yuanzheng's head—

[Host! Something seems to have taken over your body!]

It reported to Wen Yuanzheng that it wanted to expel that thing, but found that the initiative in its entire body had been completely taken over by that strange soul.

Wen Yuan was about to speak to the old man to stop, but he found that he could no longer speak.

A few minutes ago, the old man couldn't stand how slowly he was walking and offered to help him get to the crevice quickly. "You don't want to be slower than Yan Xun, do you?" the old man said.

'I'll only help you up to the crevice; we're in the same boat now.'

'I can't stand how slowly you walk.'

Wen Yuanzheng was indeed having a hard time walking. He was initially hesitant, but after hearing Gao Wen's shout, he became afraid that Yan Xun and the others would catch up with him.

In addition, he felt that the old man couldn't possess him, so he listened to the old man and handed over some control of his body to him.

But after walking halfway there, Wen Yuanzheng suddenly found himself unable to speak.

He could only watch helplessly as the old man spoke to the bearded man with his own body, a manner completely unlike his own.

He was a little scared, and worried that if he suddenly scolded the old man, the old man would turn against him. So he could only pretend not to know and pray that the old man would return his body to him after they reached the crevasse.

Soon, Wen Yuanzheng also noticed that Yan Xun and the others had left the Terror Ship and were heading towards the ice crevice.

He started urging the old man in his head again—

"Hurry, hurry, they're here!"

The old man then answered his question.

"I know, just don't distract me."

……

Yan Xun and his group soon encountered the returning followers.

“I’m with you,” the henchman immediately said. “I was out of my mind just now, and I promise I will never betray you again.”

Gao Wen chuckled in response.

Yan Xun ignored him and walked straight ahead.

The remaining three also bypassed the follower, completely ignoring him.

The henchman panicked, shouting, "Wait for me!"

"Well, to be honest, the reason I'm not going with Wen Yuanzheng is because I feel there's something wrong."

"What's the problem?" Yan Xun asked, turning around.

"He was walking really fast just now, not waiting for us at all," the henchman complained, muttering a few curses under his breath. "He clearly said we were together, but now that we're going to the crevasse, he's just walking ahead by himself."

"Completely disregarding whether we can keep up."

He pointed to two people in front of him who were almost out of sight, and said, "Look."

"Walking so fast..."

"Wen Yuan is like a completely different person."

The henchman panicked when he realized the two men were almost out of sight. "Let's hurry, or they'll really go in first."

Yan Xun glanced at Gao Wen.

Gawain made an OK sign and then downed a bottle of medicine.

In an instant, as if in a scene from Alice in Wonderland, Gao Wen's body suddenly grew larger, and he finally managed to grab Yan Xun and the other two, while his followers could only hurriedly grab a corner of Gao Wen's clothes.

In no time, a 10-meter-tall giant appeared in the original spot.

Yan Xun and the other two were grabbed by Gao Wen, while the others were laboriously rummaged through Gao Wen's pockets.

"I never imagined this potion would have this use," Gao Wen said happily. The distance that used to seem so far away could be quickly shortened after his body grew larger.

Unfortunately, this potion has a time limit, with a maximum of 90 seconds to take effect, which made Gawain run desperately towards the ice crevice.

Stuck in Gao Wen's palm, Qin Ke looked at it curiously. It was the first time he had been held in someone's hand. He looked at Yan Xun and Gu Jia, who were being held in Gao Wen's other hand, and asked, "The potion you just gave him, was it this enlargement potion?"

"Yes!" Gao Wen answered first upon hearing Qin Ke's words.

Yan Xun was starting to regret not letting Gao Wen put him on top of everyone else.

Because Gao Wen was holding both him and Gu Jia in one hand, and there was limited space in his hand, the two of them were squeezed together like they were in a crowded subway during rush hour.

He lay on Gawain's fingers, watching Wen Yuanzheng getting closer and closer... Wen Yuanzheng had already noticed the movement behind him. Seeing Gawain transformed into a giant, he didn't have time to stop and rushed forward even faster.

The bearded man looked back and wanted to rush forward too, but unfortunately he couldn't keep up with the stamina and could only watch helplessly as Wen Yuanzheng ran away like a rabbit.

In the blink of an eye, Wen Yuanzheng simply stepped over the bearded man and continued running forward.

The bearded man lay on the ground, unwilling to give up and wanting to continue following, but unfortunately he was too exhausted... After taking a few steps, his legs gave way and he knelt on the ground.

Then he saw a body emerge from Gawain's pocket—

His lackey smugly gave him a finger.

"Damn it!" the bearded man cursed.

Shortly after Gao Wen surpassed Wen Yuanzheng, the growth potion completely lost its effect... and at this moment, the ice crevice was already in sight.

……

Yan Xun looked at the ice crevice, which was large enough for five or six people to pass side by side.

The gap was wide, and they stood at the entrance without going in immediately.

"Let's test if we can get in first," Yan Xun said.

Gu Jia threw out an air detector, and soon the detector indicated that it was safe inside and they could enter normally.

Wen Yuan was a little slower than them, and seeing that they were about to enter the ice crevice, he quickened his pace.

The bearded man followed at a distance.

"Didn't Coron and the others say they couldn't get in?" Yan Xun looked at the entrance, tried to walk in, and encountered no obstacles.

The remaining four people slowly entered the crevice.

With ice walls on both sides, they walked through this naturally formed crevice... Gradually, the original entrance disappeared without a trace, as if they had unknowingly walked to a very deep place.

It was eerily quiet here; apart from their breathing and footsteps, there was no other sound.

wrong.

Yan Xun thought there were other voices as well.

He thought he heard whispers and the sound of someone tapping on the ice wall.

However, he couldn't understand what they were whispering about.

Yan Xun continued walking forward, and they all had lighting equipment in their hands. However, as they walked, Yan Xun suddenly realized that the footsteps behind him had disappeared.

He turned around.

The road behind them was blocked.

On the newly appeared wall, there was even a line of blood-written words.

Blasphemers will be punished.

Yan Xun watched for a while, then chuckled.

"Then I will suffer too much divine retribution."

"You need to queue up first."

……

Qin Ke discovered the blood pool.

Some humanoid creatures were suspended high atop the temple, their blood flowing down their bodies and eventually falling into the pool of blood below.

In the pool of blood is a statue of an angel with its eyes closed.

At this moment, the white angel statue had been stained blood red.

He looked in other directions, where stained-glass windows depicted scenes of slaughter, while the murals above described the greatness of angels.

He put to death those who were blasphemers.

However, there is something out of place in the mural.

Two black figures burst forth from the ground. The black monster wounded the angel, forcing him to slumber temporarily in the Garden of Bones.

He could only send his little angels to help him find the powers that could heal him.

The blood of those humanoid creatures could only temporarily prevent the angel's true form from withering and decaying.

Wings burst forth from Qin Ke's back.

They broke free from the constraints of their physical forms, shedding their disguises... while Qin Ke himself, like a monster in disguise, finally revealed his true colors.

He looks a lot like that angel statue.

Six wings unfolded behind Qin Ke, and he threw the "Qin Ke" disguise aside.

Then he knelt down and began to pray to the Father God in the pool of blood—

He claimed that he had already dealt with the traitors.
