I am a human shield, and the reward for killing monsters is 10,000 times the attack speed. What the

In the public chat channel of the Chaos Game Field's novice area, a shocking piece of news swept in like a torrent.

Taisui Shen, an ID that many people are familiar with but has not appeared for a long time, has just defeated the second-ranked overlord, the Demon Sea Demon King. As soon as the news came out, the public chat channel was filled with enthusiastic player discussions.

The scrolling text is almost dizzying.

Outside the Overlord Realm, which is ranked fourth in difficulty in the Novice Area, in an inconspicuous supply station.

Yinguoer sat at the wooden table, staring at the chat history on the screen with her clear eyes.

She did not discuss it loudly or show surprise like other players, but instead raised a faint smile at the corner of her mouth.

The look on his face, as if he knew the secret behind the story, gave people a feeling of being unfathomable.

There was a glass of strong liquor with a golden sheen on the table. Yinguoer gently raised it, intending to taste the loneliness and alcohol at this moment. Her movements were graceful and calm, as if she always maintained an elegant distance from the hustle and bustle of the world.

However, just as her wine glass was about to reach her lips.

Suddenly, a shrill cheer came from the side, breaking the moment of silence.

"Tai Sui God has killed another overlord! And he is the second most difficult Demon Sea King! Don't you know?"

The voice of Zhizunbao came from the side, with great excitement and a hint of uncontrollable joy.

Yinguoer was shocked so violently that the wine glass in her hand almost fell.

Her expression changed from relaxed to somewhat unhappy in an instant.

She turned around quickly, her eyes sharp, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she said with a lot of anger: "Why are you yelling! You scared me to death!"

There was an edge in her tone that was rarely revealed.

Zhizunbao was startled by her sudden reaction, then he scratched his head awkwardly and smiled as if nothing had happened: "Oh, sorry, sorry, I was too excited, it's all Tai Sui's fault! That's right, it's all his fault!"

Yinguoer frowned, a hint of disdain flashing in her eyes.

She glanced at Zhizunbao and responded coldly: "Of course he saw it. Why are you so excited? He is Tai Sui God. What's so strange about this?"

There was a familiar understatement in his voice, as if this incident was not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of Tai Sui God.

Upon hearing this, Zhizunbao was stunned for a moment.

Realizing that he was indeed a little too excited, he lowered his head and rubbed his hair embarrassedly.

Then, he couldn't help but look down at the public channel.

The discussion on the screen about Tai Sui God and the Demon King of the Sea is still heated.

Some players even started discussing whether Tai Sui's power had surpassed that of all other players in the game.

Although Yinguoer didn't say anything else, her eyes were on the scrolling messages in the chat channel.

There seemed to be a meaningful light in his eyes.

She raised her glass again, took a sip, and closed her eyes slightly.

Her expression revealed a thoughtful complexity, as if she was silently pondering something.

the other side.

Punk sat alone in a desolate wasteland, surrounded by dead silence.

Only a slight breeze blew across the dry earth, stirring up a cloud of dust.

In the distance, the skyline and the earth are vaguely connected, and there seems to be no end.

In front of me, a rough wooden tablet stood on a simple mound of earth.

The writing on the stele is a little blurred and looks like it was carved in a hurry.

It reveals a sadness and coldness that is extremely disproportionate to this desolate scene.

Punk's figure was silent and resolute, his worn-out armor was covered in dust and seemed to have been worn out long ago.

His eyes were not focused on the tombstone, but staring at the distant sky dyed red by the setting sun.

It was as if I was talking to someone in the sky.

"The second most difficult one?"

He muttered softly to himself, his tone was calm, but it seemed to carry a hint of interest.

"This kid is really something."

In the inky black cave, the air was heavy.

Only a faint blue light shone through the countless crystals around, illuminating Maria's determined face.

There was a flickering blue light in her eyes, as if they contained endless secrets and power.

Maria held a heavy hammer in her hand, the hammer head was covered with traces of time.

She swung it without hesitation, and the sound of hammer hitting crystal echoed throughout the cave like thunder.

The exploded crystal fragments flew all around, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of mineral veins.

Every blow caused the surrounding crystals to break and fall.

Maria swiftly picked up the fallen crystal and threw it to her teammates behind her.

The teammates quickly took them and carefully checked the quality of the crystals.

Maria's movements were as decisive and precise as always.

But the concentration in her eyes seemed to reveal that she was not simply collecting ore.

At this moment, a male teammate suddenly rushed over, his face full of anxiety and excitement.

His voice almost echoed in the cave: "Captain! There is news about Tai Sui God!"

Before she finished speaking, Maria's movements paused for a moment.

Her hand tightly grasped the handle of the hammer, and her aura suddenly froze like lightning.

The sound in my ears seemed to disappear in an instant, and my heartbeat quickened slightly.

There was a barely perceptible flash of surprise in her eyes.

Then, Maria quickly turned her head, her eyes as sharp as a knife, staring directly at the male teammate, her voice low but full of urgency: "Where did you get the news?"

The male teammate replied hastily: "On the chat channel!"

Maria turned around almost without hesitation, quickly operated her virtual interface, and opened the chat channel.

Her fingertips slid in the air, and messages of heated discussion quickly appeared on the screen.

The information came like a flood, full of discussions and speculations about the "Tai Sui God".

Maria's eyes quickly scanned the messages, and the expression on her face changed from tense to complicated.

A meaningful smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The teammates behind her looked at her reaction, full of confusion.

No matter what challenges she faces, Captain Maria is always calm and resolute, and almost nothing can break her composure.

But now, she showed such a complicated expression.

This made them start to wonder what kind of special relationship Tai Sui God had with the captain?

Why the captain is looking for news about Tai Sui God every day.

Even at this critical moment, the mission has become unimportant?

After a long while, Maria finally gently put down the virtual interface.

There was a long-lost light in his eyes.

She murmured in a low voice, "See you in the Trial Grounds, Tai Sui God."

There was a hint of determination in her tone, but there seemed to be some hidden expectation.

After saying this, Maria took a deep breath.

He raised his head and looked at his teammates, with a gleam of determination in his eyes.

"ready to go!"

Her voice was low but full of power: "We are going to the 'Trial Land'!"
