An Unexpected Scene

The next morning, a system sound comes out and woke up to the duo who was sleeping inside the tree.

"For those who have found, it has chosen a location, congratulations, it is exempt from doing anything, just wait for the six months to pass"

"For those who could not find it, the mission of the day is: To kill any creature in this forest"

"Reward for completing the task: Nothing"

"Punishment for failing the task: The level of those who fail will be suppressed in 10 levels"

Looking at this mission, Liu Yang thought it was ridiculous because he knew it was impossible to complete such a mission at this stage of the challenge, there was no other living creature there, besides that the other participants, but Liu Yang did not know if there was another participant alive or not.

Mo Qian's reaction was different, for her, ten levels were substantial, she wanted to complete this mission, but knew that it would be extremely difficult to complete this task alone, she hoped that Liu Yang would help her since he was her man now. But Liu Yang's words stunned her.

"Little Qian, it's best not to think about completing such a task, it's useless"

"Why?". Mo Qian realized that Liu Yang knew something she did not know.

"Because there is probably no other living creature other than the participants. You must have realized that there is something strange that is absorbing all the energy of life from this place, as far as I can see, almost half of this forest is getting lifeless and that power that is absorbing energy continues to grow and absorb other areas of the forest "

"You mean ... Will we all die in this place?"

Mo Qian could not believe the situation was so desperate.

"Probably not, the creator of this game would not do something that would be impossible to finish, however difficult it may be, there will always be a way"

Liu Yang was trying to comfort Mo Qian, but what he had said was true, there were no games that were impossible to complete, there would always be a way out.

"What will we do from now on?"

"We have to go to the edge of that forest, that is the only safe place because the energy is being absorbed from the center to the edge. Are you worried about her companion? "

Liu Yang knew that Mo Qian had a friend because before entering this challenge, he had seen two women in the same outfit.

"Yes, she's my younger sister, she's been able to find the location of the element, she'll probably be safe since she completed the hidden challenge, but I still care about her a lot"

"Worrying will not advance much, what we must do is find a safe place first, sooner or later that place here will begin to lose vitality. Or do you prefer to go to the place where your little sister is to see if there is any problem or not before going to the edge "

"I'd like to go to her to see that it's okay, I'm sorry for this selfish request"

"Do not worry, it is the husbands' duty to fulfill the selfish requests of the wives"

Hearing the words of Liu Yang, Mo Qian felt warm inside.

"Who is his wife? We are not husband and wife yet, not until I reach Rank Class 6 until then do not abandon me ... "

Although she spoke the last part in an extremely low voice, Liu Yang still got to listen. Liu Yang understands some things in his mind, due to being forced to be the man of Mo Qian, she thought that Liu Yang was uncomfortable with this subject.

"Come here, a moment"

Mo Qian did not know what Liu Yang wanted, but even so, she went to him. Coming close to him, she suddenly freaks out, when an arm wraps around her slender waist, her body falls on top of Liu Yang's chest.

"Silly girl, why do you still care about such a subject? I have already agreed to be your man and I will not go back on my words. From that day forward, I am your man and you are my wife "

With a few words, Liu Yang managed to dispel the doubts in the heart of Mo Qian, he also gave a light kiss on her forehead. Like any other girl, she also longed to fall in love and her man to reciprocate with the same love, but the men she had met so far, always looked at her with eyes full of lust.

The girls of the Floating Feather Sect always talked about the boys who had backgrounds in the Ninth World, all the stories she heard were about men playing with women and then throwing them away like used toys. Her adoptive mother always said there were good men who loved their wives, but they were rare.

When Mo Qian saw the images in which Liu Yang rushes towards her desperately and saved her, she immediately remembered the phrases of her foster mother. Although Liu Yang is perverted at times, Mo Qian felt that he was trustworthy.

...

Liu Yang and Mo Qian began to move towards the place where Mo Qing was, but the pair had to make another way, the swirls were forming a kind of circle, because of this, the two had to walk the edges of the circle so that the energy absorption does not work. Running straight through the circle would be faster and dangerous, circumventing the circle was slower and safer.

Liu Yang had many pills and elixirs that restores the Stamina, MP, and HP, so the pair started running toward the location of the water element at full speed.

Along the way, Liu Yang realized that Xillia Wolf's words were true, all life forms of this forest were slowly dying, plants, trees, fish, stones, everything was turning to dust when the last drop of vital energy was absorbed. Staring at this scene, the pair accelerated.

...

After several hours of running and a few pauses along the way, Liu Yang and Mo Qian finally arrived at the site of the water element. Looking at that gigantic frozen tree, Liu Yang used the Phantom Vision to see its information, saw that it was the same as the petrified tree, a tree with the pure energy of the water element.

The tree did not appear to be undergoing changes due to the absorption of energy, Liu Yang thought it would be because of the Crystal of Water Energy inside the tree, as an item that was born after accumulating energy for millions of years, the power inside it should be very large, so to fully absorb this large amount of energy, would take thousands or millions of years.

Realizing that there would be no problem for the next six months, Mo Qian relaxed, she followed Liu Yang and began to run toward the edge, because of the closer to the swirls, the faster the energy absorption.

...

The duo ran for a few more hours as headed back to the edge of the forest, but in the middle of the path, Liu Yang and Mo Qian hear metal sounds pounding on metal beating.

Clang ... Clang ...

The duo began to slowly approach where the sound was coming from. The scene they saw was unbelievable. There were two extremely injured people fighting each other. Liu Yang recognized who they were, but did not know the names, he decided to ask Mo Qian.

"Little Qian, do you know the names of these two?"

"Yes, that great person there is called Li Qing, he is a member of the Li clan and a central disciple of the Solitary Sword Sect, that other one is called Gu Meng, he is a disciple of the Academy of Divine Arts. The two should be allies, but for some reason, they are fighting to the death "

Listening to Mo Qian's words, Liu Yang used Phantom Vision and began looking at the two individuals who were fighting, looking at that information, Liu Yang understood why those two were fighting to the death.
