A Quest Hidden In A Hidden Quest!

They turned to face the direction Yunxi pointed out. It was a hut. The only difference it had from the other huts was that it was smaller and the door was made of wood.

" Wow! This thing had mastered illusion so well. If you hadn't pointed it out, I wouldn't have known despite the fact that I am an illusionist. " Liena turned to face Yunxi with glittering eyes. " You deserve to be my master ~"

Yunxi didn't comment. It's not that she couldn't or didn't want to, but because she was in the middle of something.

Liena was an ancient succubus, one that was very very rare. She was different from the other succubuses, from the knowledge she had of them. Liena wasn't a sex-crazed demon, instead she was war-crazed. She was always ready for battle. Being ancient, she was versed in illusions, but her memory was sealed. But still….

' It seems that our enemies aren't simple.' Yunxi walked towards the hut, and stretched her hand forward. As her hand was about to touch it, another hand came and held her hand tightly.

" Once you open this door, it's death for us."

Yunxi slowly turned her head to face her, " It's better than waiting to die." With that said, Yunxi pushed open the wooden door.

Behind the wooden door, was something unexpected. Three tombstones dug into a pile of sand, simultaneously. Three people were buried in the hut.

Nalan moved closer, and looked closely at the tombstones, " Li Wang….Li Qing...Long Zhanye…"

Her eyes lit up, and she abruptly turned to face Liena and Yunxi. " These people are the doctors who were first infected by the plague."

Liena smiled, and stretched her hand forward, and patted Nalan's head. " That's good, baby girl. You said something right for the first time."

Nalan blushed brightly after hearing the compliment. She shyly twisted her fingers, and looked up at Yunxi.

Yunxi with her indifferent face met Nalan's expectant eyes. Bored of looking at her eyes, she turned to face the tombstones.

" You are right about one thing. They are doctors, but they didn't die of plague. "

" What do you mean?" Liena asked.

" Infected with the plague, who would be willing to come near them, talkless of giving them a befitting burial?" Yunxi asked back.

Liena folded her arms, and looked at the tombstones, with comprehension in her eyes. " Does it mean…"

" Yes. They weren't killed because of a plague. Infact, there was no Plague. "

" Then what really happened?" Nalan couldn't help but voice out .

Yunxi looked at the tombstones for a while, and sighed. " They were killed due to the greediness of humans. They had captured the beast, according to the woman's story, right?"

Nalan nodded and said, " Yes. "

" You know well enough that the beasts are big, and three of them alone can't finish it. My best guess is that they brought it back, but due to the desperation and greediness from the others, the meat was snatched from them.

They traveled in groups, some of them are families. The doctors disagreed and wanted a share of the meat, since they were the one who killed it. The powerful awakened were angered by their audacity, and killed them , setting an example to the others. One of the doctors had a family member, who eventually buried them. With a heart fueled with hatred, they did something. A curse." Yunxi explained.

Liena looked shocked, after digesting the news.

" A curse…? They are hard to deal with. For such a large-scale death, the curse must be higher than level five."

Nalan looked confused. She didn't get the meaning of what they were talking about. She wanted to talk, but decided against it.

Yunxi calmy stared at the floating screen Infront of her, coolly. Nalan's eyes were star studded as she stared at the rewards, while Liena's eyes kept twitching.

Liena looked at Yunxi, a smile yet not a smile emerged on her face. " Hmm…Group leader~" She called out in a lustful tone. Her eyes changed between pink and purple.

With the speed of light, an ice needle moved forward towards Liena. She quickly docked down. Nalan's attention was caught as she stared at the nonchalant looking Yunxi, and a terrified Liena.

Liena stood up , and turned around. Behind her was an ice needle stuck to the wall, slowly freezing it. She turned to face Yunxi and gulped down her saliva. "I..a..m.. Sorry! "

Yunxi just stared at her without answering. Liena's body trembled in fear, sweat trickled down her chin, as she waited for an answer. The tension in the hut increased as seconds ticked.

Meanwhile, Yunxi was staring at the Floating screen in front of her.

Yunxi looked at the displayed items deeply.'They all fall into the support lane.'

" Mas..ter…" Liena stuttered out.

Hearing her voice, Yunxi snapped out of her thinking and looked towards Liena with worried eyes. " What's wrong?"
