Chapter 15 The Spiderweb

The official rangers filed in, conscientiously splitting into two teams, one responsible for treating the wounded, and the other for inspecting the scene, delivering the coup de grâce, and eliminating any potential hidden dangers.

A female member of the Hundred Flowers Guild squatted down to check on the two poisoned Fire Masters, her tone changing slightly:

"Centurion, their vital signs are weak. They need to take diluted life essence immediately, or their lives will be in danger."

In the Lawful faction, both Musicians and Wood Spirits possessed skills in the life domain, but at the Extraordinary stage, neither profession had the healing ability to bring the dead back to life.

This kind of powerful skill was something that only high-level rangers could control.

Therefore, the Musician profession's "life essence" had always been an important strategic resource for the authorities, as it could have an immediate effect on critically injured people on the verge of death.

The Five Elements Alliance purchased a large amount of life essence from the "Three Musician Families" every year, making it extremely precious.

Fu Qingyang said in a deep voice, "Treat them immediately."

The Wood Spirit woman unfastened her tactical backpack, took out two injectors, and gave the two poisoned Fire Masters intravenous injections.

The heavily injured and unconscious Big Muscled Guy also enjoyed the same treatment. As for Li Dongze, the Wood Spirit from the Hundred Flowers Guild gave him simple hemostasis, detoxification, and bandaging.

Qing Teng and the others also received treatment.

Fu Qingyang walked to Guan Ya's side, took off his coat, draped it over her shoulders, and frowned:

"Are you okay?"

Guan Ya tugged at the collar of the suit and shook her head.

At this time, the captain-level ranger who cleared the battlefield returned with his men and reported:

"Centurion, the enemies have all been killed, no survivors."

The captain said with emotion:

"The bodies of the four Gu beasts have all reached the level of a Level 3 Fire Master. It's incredible that you were able to deal with them without any casualties. But there's one thing I don't understand. Two of the Gu beasts have no wounds on their bodies. Their bodies are stiff and cold, and they should have been dead for several hours. How did you do it?"

Hearing this, Ling Jun raised an eyebrow and immediately moved to the side of "Rampage's" corpse, squatting down to observe.

Fu Qingyang's heart stirred, and he looked at Guan Ya and asked, "What's going on?"

"Those two were killed by Yuanshi," Guan Ya replied succinctly.

"No, not two." Bai Long, who had been treated, leaned on his saber and added, "It was three."

"Yuanshi Tianzun? The newbie who cleared the S-class Gold Water Amusement Park? Where is he? I haven't seen what he looks like yet." The young woman who was bandaging Big Muscled Guy raised her head and asked excitedly.

Her direct captain glared back at the young woman's excitement with a stern look.

Three… Fu Qingyang looked at Qing Teng and Tang Guoqiang, seeing that they did not refute, and those injured Level 2 rangers seemed to recall something, their faces filled with both admiration and fear.

"It is indeed the Night Wanderer's method..." Ling Jun clicked his tongue twice: "A Level 2 Night Wanderer is already so strong? How long has this kid been a Spirit Realm Walker?"

After saying that, he added regretfully: "It was a wrong decision to give him to the Five Elements Alliance."

Fu Qingyang glanced at him, then turned to Guan Ya: "Where is Yuanshi Tianzun?"

"Upstairs," Guan Ya looked up, "Dealing with some things."

.......

Compared to the mess in the hall, the rooms on the second floor were relatively well preserved. Zhang Yuanqing found the item in the third room facing outward.

It was an incense burner, a bronze three-legged base, and the body of the furnace was a toad carved from ebony, squatting with its mouth open to the sky.

The toad incense burner was placed quietly on the table.

Zhang Yuanqing endured the itching in his throat, stumbled to the bedside, pulled open the curtains, opened the window, and took a few deep breaths of fresh air.

The slight feeling of dizziness faded a lot, and then he returned to the table, picked up the toad incense burner, and a message appeared in his vision:

【Name: Heavenly Toad Incense Burner】

【Type: Tool】

【Function: Toxin】

【Introduction: In ancient times, a genius from a Wu Gu tribe in Nanling decided to create a colorless and odorless, invisible toxin. After years of unremitting research, he successfully created this incense burner, but he found that the toxin in the incense burner was colorless and odorless, but its toxicity was not strong, and its effect was slow, so he discarded it. Half a month later, everyone in the tribe died.】

【Note: Have you stacked up your poison resistance?】

Zhang Yuanqing immediately put the item into his inventory, thinking that it was a very bad item.

Through the introduction and notes, he understood the characteristics of this item. First of all, the toxin did not distinguish between friend and foe. Even the owner of the item would be poisoned. Rampage was able to resist it because the Wu Gu master had high poison resistance.

Secondly, the Heavenly Toad Incense Burner was the kind of item whose toxicity became more potent the longer it was left. Its toxicity would continue to volatilize, and if it was not properly stored, it would harm a wide area, even poisoning the people of the Wu Gu tribe.

"Huh?"

Zhang Yuanqing reopened the inventory and checked the information about the Heavenly Toad Incense Burner.

"Ancient times... Nanling... Wu Gu tribe?"

He chewed out some different things from the information. According to the "introduction", it should have been created by a high-level Spirit Realm Walker from a long time ago.

Then it fell into the Spirit Realm and was obtained by "Rampage", or it has been circulating in reality. Of course, these are not important. What is important is "ancient times."

What era does ancient times refer to? How many years ago?

Were there Spirit Realm Walkers in that era? But the attribute panel is clearly a modern concept.

Okay, it cannot be determined whether it is a modern concept, but if ancient people also had the concept of a panel, it would be too discordant… Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself, "Find time to check the origin time of the Spirit Realm. If I have this authority."

And if there was no concept of a panel in ancient times, then the panel information they are familiar with now would be very strange in origin.

Even whether there was the concept of Spirit Realm Walkers in ancient times is questionable.

"The Spirit Realm itself has many secrets. I felt that the existence of moral values was unreasonable before. There are heavy man-made traces, unlike natural generation..."

At this time, Zhang Yuanqing noticed that his colleagues downstairs were evacuating on a large scale.

Immediately, he no longer hesitated, left the room, and went down the stairs.

The official rangers in the living room on the first floor had been dismissed. In the center of the living room, a young man in a white suit sat on a high-backed chair. The background was broken furniture, bright red blood stains, overturned sofas, and cracked walls.

His suit was as white as snow, his features were handsome, cold, and serious, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding environment.

Zhang Yuanqing scrutinized the white suit, and the white suit was also scrutinizing Zhang Yuanqing.

When Zhang Yuanqing walked down the last step, the white-suited youth nodded slightly: "Fu Qingyang."

There is actually a man in this world more handsome than me… Zhang Yuanqing bowed and saluted: "Hello, Centurion."

He had long admired this centurion. He had heard about him many times from Li Dongze: born into a wealthy family, a genius, calm and wise, decisive and upright, rich and foolish… Well, the last one was what Guan Ya said.

Now he finally met this "legendary" figure. His first impression was proud, noble, and sharp. He was the type of person that you would have to think twice before joking with.

Strangely, Zhang Yuanqing did not feel disgusted, because Fu Qingyang's nobility and pride were very pure, and his temperament matched his appearance.

Fu Qingyang sat upright on the high-backed chair and said in a calm tone:

"You don't have to be polite with me. I've been paying attention to you for a long time. I wanted to meet you a long time ago. But Guan Ya said that you are a pervert with the heart of a thief but without the guts, so she planned to observe you further."

Are you prejudiced against perverts? No, I'm not a pervert… Zhang Yuanqing explained, "That's her misunderstanding of me. I think Centurion Fu should have his own judgment."

Fu Qingyang said lightly, "She strongly recommended that I promote you to Squad Leader, believing that you are one of the best talents in the new generation of the Five Elements Alliance."

Zhang Yuanqing changed the subject, "She's really good at judging people."

Fu Qingyang looked at him with deep eyes.

For some reason, Zhang Yuanqing's eyes subconsciously dodged. He didn't like this sharp gaze that seemed to see through everything.

I hate the eyes of scouts… Zhang Yuanqing muttered unhappily in his heart. Just as he was about to meet his gaze, Fu Qingyang shifted his gaze and looked at Rampage's body, asking:

"What do you think of this battle?"

His tone was calm. It was more like he was examining an important subordinate than asking a question.

Thinking that this centurion valued him quite highly, Zhang Yuanqing carefully worded his answer:

"The enemy knew our deployment and numbers in advance, and knew us like the back of their hand. The water behind this is very deep."

Fu Qingyang said bluntly, "Someone in the authorities colluded with Rampage and betrayed you."

It can also be said that there is a traitor among us! Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

"So I sent everyone away. Only you and I know what's going to happen next." Fu Qingyang glanced at Rampage's body.

Zhang Yuanqing understood what he meant. He raised his foot and walked to the side of the ugly and hideous corpse, and a dark and viscous substance surged in his eyes.

The spirit remaining in the shell recovered, and wisps of it floated out, condensing into a translucent phantom above the corpse, baring its teeth and snarling at Zhang Yuanqing, extremely ferocious.

"I may go a little crazy after devouring the spirits of evil professions…" He took out the Demon Subduing Pestle and handed it to Fu Qingyang, "This item can purify spiritual pollution."

He gave the Demon Subduing Pestle to Li Dongze because he trusted his character, but he gave it to Fu Qingyang because the other party was rich and foolish. No, wealthy, he wouldn't covet his items.

Fu Qingyang took the item and nodded slightly.

Zhang Yuanqing stopped speaking, took a deep breath, and sucked the spirit into his mouth.

........

His brow suddenly swelled, and something that did not belong to him forcibly poured into his sea of consciousness.

Countless fragmented images surged in, flashing by like a revolving lantern, all of which were the more profound memories in Rampage's life.

Rampage came from a poor family. In order to change his fate, he studied hard. After entering society, he found that his diploma, which he was so proud of, was not very useful. After working for a few years, he found that the more he worked diligently, the more work the leader would give him, and he became a social animal.

He couldn't compete with the well-connected, couldn't compete with those who flattered but had no ability. He couldn't afford a house even after working for ten years, and the starting point for marriage was owning a house of his own, but his father was an honest farmer with a lack of savings.

Honesty and duty saw no hope, but doing shady deals made money.

He didn't know where the future was, and he became very confused. Until one time, he used his position to earn a huge amount of wealth. Rampage fell from then on, and liked this kind of adventurous behavior.

Finally, the scene changed, and Zhang Yuanqing saw the dark bedroom and the yin spirit floating beside the bed.

"Where is Black Impermanence again? Trust is the basis of cooperation. It seems that we still don't trust each other enough."

"You have two options. One is to wait for the Fallen on the roster to lose control one after another…"

"To express my sincerity, I will reveal the deployment and actions of the official rangers to you."

........

Also in the dark bedroom, Rampage cut his wrist and let the blood drip into a black wooden bowl engraved with incantations. The blood in the bowl twisted and formed a human face.

"Boss, the people from Dark Rose have come to the door and want to meet you."

"It's too early to meet now. It's necessary to be cautious when conspiring with a tiger… Has their leader come?"

"I don't know. Boss, it is key to control the Fallen Holy Grail as soon as possible."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I wouldn't dare…"

"What else did he say?"

"He said that he would provide me with the action plan of the official team, so that I could set up an ambush and share the pressure for you."

"You can try…"

Dark Rose? Black Impermanence is lurking in Songhai, waiting for the leader of Dark Rose? What kind of organization is this? They seem to be brewing a big conspiracy. Tsk, this time I got a lot of information…

A golden light lit up, the picture dissipated, and his consciousness returned. Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes and found himself handcuffed to a high-backed chair.

Eh, it doesn't hurt, there are no signs of being beaten… Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed for a while, but then he thought, this shows that Centurion Fu completely crushed him, and he didn't feel happy.

Seeing that he was awake, Fu Qingyang immediately asked:

"What did you gain?"

......

ps: It will be on the shelves at midnight tonight, and I hope for your first order support.
