While Bernice was struggling, she suddenly saw a strange man with a whole body in black appearing in front of her, and her body sank a lot because of fright.

After recognizing the other party as Yue Qingqin, Bernice began to ask her for help.

Yue Qing stretched out her hand: "Pull me."

Bernice was still holding on to the straw and did not dare to let go: "I'm afraid that if I let go, I'll sink in!"

When Yue Qingqing saw this, the veins on her forehead suddenly bulged, and Bernice's body was lifted by the invisible air.

Yue Qing threw out a rope with her right hand, threw the hooked end onto a tree in the distance, and grabbed one of Bernice's wrists the moment she controlled her own gravity.

Bernice finally escaped, sitting on the edge of the swamp, terrified.Yue Qingqing pulled her up: "Don't rest here, let's go to the side."

Bernice was afraid that Yue Qingqing would leave her behind, so she quickly followed.

Their current state is really unsightly, one is covered in wet mud, and the other is wrapped in sticky swamp mud.

Bernice was still in the mood to arrange her clothes, while Yue Qingqing was as serious as an ice sculpture.

"Where did you come from, and why did you end up in the swamp?"

"I was caught in a basement. There were many monsters looking at me, but I don't know why, they all left just now." Bernice said, "I took the opportunity to run out, but got lost in the woods and finally fell. Into the swamp."

"These weirdos are all out to chase me, or to chase us. It matches what Bernice said." Yue Qing thought to himself.

"It's a good thing you're here, otherwise I'd be dead." Bernice said gratefully, "How do we leave next?"

"Take me to where they're holding you."

"Why!!" Bernice lost her voice, "Are you still going back to save people?"

"Sure enough, someone was also locked up there." Yue Qing looked at her, "Who is it?"

She doesn't trust the npc, because according to the plot, it's normal for the npc to want to escape, so she will definitely hide it.

"I only saw a monster dragging a person into a separate room, but I didn't see who it was." Bernice said with a pale face.

"Let's go." Yue Qing said.

Bernice bit her lower lip, her green eyes were full of hesitation.

"it is good."

She took Yue Qingqing around the swamp and went deep, the dense forest covered their heads again, and there was always a faint roar coming from a distance.

Bernice looked back from time to time, her pretty face was full of horror.On the other hand, Yue Qingqing was extraordinarily calm, and the embarrassment when he was chased and killed by the "half-orc" was swept away.

After passing a stone bridge hidden among aquatic plants, they arrived at their destination.

This is a row of connected bungalows surrounded by towering giant trees.There is also a tree house built on top of one of the trees, which seems to serve as a spy.

The front of the bungalow is built with bricks, but the back is submerged into the cave, which should expand an indestructible space by taking advantage of the terrain of the cave.

"I came out from the last door, but these houses are actually connected. The wooden houses are all illusions, and the small rooms go deep into the cave." Bernice said.

Yue Qing nodded, put her hand in the tool pocket, and slowly pushed the door open.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled a stench from animals, mixed with the smell of feces and soil.

The floor was trampled dirty, full of dense footprints stained with weeds.

Three doors appeared in front of them. The doors were not built on the wall, but were fixed at the entrance of the hole by cement.The place between the door and the door is the stone wall. It seems that this is a building extended by three holes on a mountain.

"I am the last hole, and the inside is not deep, only 50 meters at most." Bernice said, "When the monster brought me food, I saw them dragging another person to the next room."

"It should be the second one." Bernice finally concluded.

Hearing this, Yue Qing sprinkled a bottle of glittering powder on the floor behind her, and then took out the universal key to open the iron door.

Originally, she just wanted to try, but she didn't expect that the door lock was really unlocked, and in front of her was a cave filled with humid air.

"This cave is deeper than mine." Bernice held Yue Qingqing's wrist in fear.

Yue Qingqing twitched her eyebrows, endured Bernice's physical contact, and took out a light source to illuminate the road ahead.

They didn't walk for long, and the cave suddenly opened up. There was a circle of thick and long wooden posts on which handcuffs and anklets were fixed, and some of the posts were still spattered with blood.

Of the empty stakes, only one had a man tied to it.

When he saw Yue Qingqing, he was stunned: "You are—Qing Qing! How did you become like this?"

Yue Qingqing peeled off the wet mud from her face: "You can recognize me like this."

There was only a dim oil lamp in the cell, so it was normal not to recognize her.

Gu Chao said excitedly: "Because I know you will come to save me."

At this time, Gu Chao discovered that besides Bernice, there was no one else beside Yue Qingqing, especially Zhu Yi.

He suddenly felt that he was the most special one, and the pain of being tortured by the "half-orc" disappeared in an instant.

Gu Chao looked at Yue Qingqing happily: "Qingqing, are you the first to save me? Did you do it on purpose? It means that I am very important to you, right?"

Yue Qingqing interrupted him coldly: "Shut up."

After speaking, she took out a prop that looked like an electric drill, and broke Gu Chao's handcuffs and anklets in three or five strokes.

"Go, there is another cell next door."

Gu Chao suddenly felt a sense of crisis: "You are going to save those two people..."

Yue Qingqing said: "The person you save today may be the person who can save you at some point."

After hearing Yue Qingqing's words, Gu Chao unexpectedly did not stop him.

Yue Qingqing opened another room, but did not see Lan Chip and Zhu Yi.This room is not a cell, but a place similar to a farm.

As far as the eye can see, there are sheds and hay for livestock to rest, and the unpleasant smell of beasts comes from here.

The smell permeating the room outside probably originated from here.

This cave is longer than the one just now, and it seems to go all the way to the mountainside.

Bernice proposed to let them go out several times, but Yue Qingqing rejected her.Looking back at the ancient dynasty, there was uncharacteristically no opposition, nor was there any jealousy.

Yue Qingqing felt very strange, and asked, "Gu Chao, why did you stop making trouble all of a sudden?"

Gu Chao turned his head and said: "If you make trouble with the captain for no reason, I'm afraid you will be kicked out of the team."

Yue Qingqing was taken aback: "You haven't called me Captain for a long time."

"Yeah, since I became a gambler with you, I haven't called it that again." Gu Chao smiled, "It's just that what you said just now reminded me of when we were still apprentices. .”

Yue Qing fell silent upon hearing the words.

"I, you still have braids and slippers. The four of us met in the first live broadcast." Gu Chao said with emotion, "It's really embarrassing for us three big men to be rescued by you."

"Everyone makes mistakes."

"When they were here, I wished they would go away quickly. But after they died, I missed them very much." Gu Chao paused, "If I followed them into the live broadcast, if I was stronger, they would won't die."

"If there is no if, that is already in the past." Yue Qingqing's voice was calm and firm, but her eyes were already red.

"Actually, the day before Braid's death, he was still complaining to me, saying that after being saved by you, he always wanted to repay you, and he didn't want to hold your thigh forever. I'm afraid that we can only reconcile with the weak self at that time until the hero saves the beauty one day." Gu Chao Said, "It's a pity he didn't wait for that day."

Yue Qing felt a pain in her heart, she had accompanied her three teammates since she was a child, and now only Gu Chao was left.

These three people were dragged up by her family, but she seemed to have done something wrong. After reaching the gold level, the braids and slippers died in two live broadcasts respectively because their consciousness was not up to the level.

Only Gu Chao made it to Platinum with her.

It can be said that her teammates rashly upgrade when their level is not enough, and she needs to pay half of the responsibility.

"I don't need any repayment from you, because we are friends." Yue Qingqing said, "If a person has a soul after death, the braids and slippers should be able to understand my thoughts."

"Captain, I will leave the Second Regiment after this live broadcast." Gu Chao said suddenly.

"Why?!" Gu Chao's words were enough to shock her, after all, Gu Chao is usually like a hamster guarding the food reserves, wary of any man or woman who is interested in her.

"I don't want to be protected by you all the time, I want to really grow up." Gu Chao said, "I want to be the one who can save you."

Yue Qing leaned on her forehead, she didn't expect her casual words to give Gu Chao the idea of ​​leaving the second group.

"I'm glad you can mature, but you don't have to leave the second group."

Gu Chao can be said to be her only friend, and also the only person she wants to protect from the bottom of her heart.The feeling of hand in hand on the verge of death is not something that can be thrown away.

Yue Qingqing was worried that after Gu Chao left her, he would die like braids and slippers.

She didn't even dare to tell Gu Chao about the organization, because Gu Chao was not as smart as Zhu Yi, and keeping him from knowing was also a form of protection.

"I know no matter how hard I try, you won't fall in love with me. I have nothing good except this face." Gu Chao touched his face, "But don't worry, even if you want to marry Lu Qi in the future or Marrying Zhu Yi, our friendship will never change."

"What are you talking about!" Yue Qing turned pale, "Don't talk nonsense, they have nothing to do with me."

She was worried that Gu Chao would continue to say something, so she decided to put the matter on hold for now, and wait until the live broadcast came out.

Otherwise, if the netizens add fuel and jealousy, there will be rumors that she and Zhu Yilu are engaged to each other on the forum tonight.

Rumors are not terrible, what is terrible is the person who is about to spread rumors with her.Yue Qingqing really didn't want to continue to take the blame.

Bernice was listening to the conversation between the two, her eyes filled with confusion.

NPCs are not sensitive to things other than this live broadcast, they will even enter the left ear and exit the right ear.

While talking, the three of them came to an end.

There was a door ajar, leading into a lounge.There was a musty bed, bookcase, desk.

Yue Qingqing found a ring made of gold on the table. The top of the ring should be a seal with complicated patterns of thorns.

"I've seen this pattern on one of the monsters!" Bernice pointed to the ring and said, "Is this a token?"

"What token?" Yue Qing asked, turning her head.
