Chapter 142 Dark Elf 11
"pretty good."
"What do you mean, 'good'?!" The system nearly exploded, pacing frantically. "Do you know what you're doing? Like a fallen missionary! The previous main god has already gone to the void, and some of those systems have been destroyed. Do you want to go down that path?"
Qingyu didn't understand. She tilted her head, her eyes sparkling. "Perhaps I only possess this kind of appearance in this world?"
"Your soul has been corrupted! How did you suddenly become like this? No, no, there's something wrong with this dark element! We couldn't achieve this effect when we were doing the quests before!"
The system was quite puzzled. Qingyu had indeed been able to survive because of her malice value, as she belonged to the evil side. However, she later gained the admiration of everyone and still lived well, with her soul slowly being repaired.
How did it suddenly turn out like this?
Unfortunately, the whereabouts of system 250 are currently unknown!
Qingyu stroked her face, revealing a satisfied smile. Seeing how anxious the system was, she finally offered a word of advice, "I don't care what I look like, as long as my heart remains unchanged."
The system looked at her with a complicated expression, then fell silent.
Unable to find a cause or a solution, it knew that saying more would only make things worse, so it decided to remain silent for now. However, it did offer a final instruction: "If you feel unwell, we should leave this world immediately."
Qingyu nodded with a smile, carefully sensing the dark elements as a huge idea formed in her mind—
If she replaces the Lord of Darkness, does that mean she recovers faster?
Greed always comes first. After having this thought, Qingyu unconsciously turned on the surveillance footage from Xuanyuanwu's side.
The group had returned to the Merfolk tribe and, unexpectedly, were not punished by the Merfolk prince. On the contrary, the prince's expression changed repeatedly when he saw An Mei, eventually becoming extremely kind and amiable, and even taking the initiative to talk to Xuan Yuanwu.
But every word he said encouraged Xuanyuan Wu to continue to the next place.
However, they didn't mention the matter of Shui Ling Su at all.
The next place is the even more fearsome Flame City, where it is scorching hot all year round. Located in the desert, it is always short of water and is home to the most vicious and ruthless people.
Qing Yuguang could sense the despair of that place from the words alone.
In the scene, the merman prince states that he has a past connection with the lord of Flame City and can help make introductions.
Qingyu scoffed, finding it absurd.
An introduction? More like tipping someone off!
It's just unclear what the Lord of Darkness used to blackmail these people, making them willing to deceive Xuan Yuanwu's group.
Finally, Xuanyuan Wu began to inquire about the Water Spirit Essence. However, as Qingyu had expected, the Merman Prince remained silent for a moment, a guilty look flashing in his eyes. He then forced himself to explain, "I also wanted to give it to you, but the Water Spirit Essence has already been borrowed by Flame City."
Upon hearing the prince's words, Xuanyuan Wu's eyes turned cold, his brows furrowed slightly, and his aura exploded. "Why does Flame City want to borrow the Water Spirit Essence? As far as I know, the people in their city don't need this item."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across the prince's face, but he quickly regained his composure. "This... this is also the Flame City Lord's helpless move. A sudden illness has struck the city, and only Water Spirit Essence can temporarily suppress the symptoms."
Xuan Yuanwu snorted coldly, his eyes extremely oppressive, "Then how can I trust you? What if there's no Water Spirit Essence in Flame City at all? Wouldn't you have just tricked me into going there for nothing? And why didn't you say so beforehand?"
At this moment, Will, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "I think we can give it a try, after all, we don't have any other clues. Besides, if we go and check the situation, we can collect the water spirit essence and the fire spirit essence at the same time."
This statement is not without merit.
However, Xuan Yuanwu had suffered too many setbacks during this period, and now his doubts were growing. Moreover, because of Qingyu's matter, he could only be skeptical of what Weier said.
He glanced at Dark Charm and hesitated. According to Vido, she was an extremely powerful healer who had not only healed her injuries but was also exceptionally intelligent. He wondered if she had ever heard of Flame City.
Seemingly noticing Xuan Yuanwu's gaze, An Mei snapped out of her reverie and looked over with a cool expression. "What is it?"
"May I ask if you, senior, know anything about Flame City? Why have we never heard of it?"
Anmei's expression was inscrutable, but her face remained unusually calm. "I've heard about it. He wasn't lying."
The two looked at each other, then looked away. Xuan Yuanwu suppressed his violent thoughts and was once again surprised by An Mei's strength.
One glance was enough to make him feel like he had met his nemesis; this person was definitely more than just what he appeared to be strong!
After calming himself down, Xuanyuan Wu finally agreed.
In reality, he had no other choice. His mother was still waiting for him, and besides, his own abilities...
It needs to be strengthened.
However, just as Xuanyuan Wu was about to leave, a mysterious voice entered his ears, "Do not trust others easily, the Water Spirit Essence is in the prince's hands."
Xuanyuan Wu was startled, his eyes instantly sharpening as he stared intently at the prince. "Your Highness, are you sure you're not lying to me?"
The prince's expression changed slightly, and he stopped himself from running away. He smiled and said, "What are you saying? I never lie."
"Is that so?" Xuan Yuanwu looked around and finally his gaze fell on Wei Duo, who was talking to Ling An.
That voice just now sounded a lot like Vido's voice.
Vido didn't say anything!
Everything seemed a little off. Xuan Yuanwu had a vague feeling that everything had become strange.
But he couldn't find anything strange.
After hesitating several times, the group finally left. Qingyu also turned off the video and planned to go to Flame City on her own to find out what was going on.
She's gotten a bit stronger now, and that feeling is inexplicably exhilarating. She's also eager to try out the things in Flame City; maybe there'll be a surprise there like the Heart of Coral?
Qingyu headed towards Flame City, encountering many strange sights along the way.
There are giant rocks floating in the air burning with flames, and birds flying around with their bodies engulfed in fire.
But without exception, all of these are located in the desert.
As they drew closer to Flame City, a cloud of dust mixed with intense heat rushed towards them.
Qingyu herself has spiritual power protecting her, so the wind won't affect her, but she still covers her entire face with a veil. The people around her are basically all in the same state.
"Damn it, we caught nothing again! We can't even exchange them for drinks!"
A burly man gripped the hilt of a knife, complaining resentfully.
His companions laughed and began to mock him, "You drink and chase women every day, aren't you afraid of dying there one day!"
The man chuckled smugly, "That's because you're not as good as me. I've had my way with every pretty woman in Flame City."
"Then why don't you go find the city lord! The city lord has such delicate skin, you dare to dream of going to him but not dare to go to him, right?"
The man was instantly enraged and threw a knife at him, shouting, "The city lord is just a pretty boy! I don't like men!"
After saying that, he stormed off.
Qingyu witnessed the whole thing and became thoughtful.
She looked up at the walls of Flame City, which were all formed from condensed flames and constantly changing shape.
Those who approach the city gate must hand over a certain amount of spirit stones, or they will be consumed by flames.
Qingyu took out the original owner's stored goods, obediently handed them over according to the rules, and successfully entered the city.
As soon as he stepped into the city, he felt a powerful force locking onto him.
