What if the Terrans really are saving the world?

The moment Terra planted the staff on the ground, the surrounding light dimmed again.

In the distance, another zombie with a sleazy-looking V-neck appeared and headed this way.

The adventurers quickly organized another counterattack.

An exclamation mark bubble appeared above Terra's head. Why is the graveyard environment here again?

However, there is no spiritual mist in this cemetery environment.

Terra quickly figured out what had happened. After he dug the staff away with his pickaxe, the surrounding environment returned to normal.

If you put it down again, the surroundings will turn into a cemetery environment again.

So this staff can be used as a substitute for a tombstone?

Terra didn't actually dig up all the tombstones; there were still four left. She figured since there was no cemetery environment left, it didn't matter where those tombstones were.

Just now, after Terra put down her staff, the surrounding environment was clearly a graveyard environment that would only be triggered when there were 5 gravestones.

In other words, the sky darkens, and monsters that were at night will spawn during the day.

However, it seems that there are not 7 tombstones, so no further spiritual mist appeared on the ground or on the blocks.

Now it seems that the staff held by this NPC named Tiffany is actually equivalent to the function of a tombstone.

This is good stuff.

The NPC's initial equipment would respawn every time she died, and Terra thought that she should kill her a few more times to get all 7 staves.

Although tombstones have the same effect and are easier to obtain points from, a staff standing on the ground looks much better than several tombstones on the ground.

Moreover, once this staff is placed on the ground, it can be inscribed with things, just like an epitaph on a tombstone.

The original message on the staff read: "Irving, my beloved!"

Terra thought for a moment, then simply pressed Enter to delete it and changed it to: "Terra's internal organs did not turn into external filth."

Tiffany was blushing as she tried to pull out her staff when she discovered that a flashing vertical line had suddenly appeared at the end of the sentence she had carved on it. Then, one by one, the words she had carved were erased.

It was changed to another sentence.

"Eek—!" Tiffany screamed, clutching her head.

The surrounding adventurers saw Terra put down her staff, and the environment changed.

Moreover, Terra was repeatedly plugged in and unplugged several times, and the result was the same.

The adventurers now realized that the eerie death aura they had just witnessed must have been the work of that gloomy woman, Tiffany.

Terra confirmed the staff's function and put it back in her backpack.

Seeing Terra take her staff, Tiffany tried to grab her, but was kicked and pounced on by the swarming adventurers.

Just as everyone was besieging Tiffany, the female mage who had previously speculated that the Terra Tombstone was the cause of the necromancy broke out in a cold sweat as she looked at the adventurers around her.

She clearly remembered that many adventurers had been killed by those monsters in battle, but why are some of those people who were killed reappearing now?

She found the soldier from before in the crowd.

This soldier was the guy she had asked for help with while looking at the tombstone.

"Hey, Edgar." She walked up to the soldier and patted him on the shoulder.

That soldier is really into beating Tiffany.

"Who is it? Rafa, what's wrong? Ouch!" Edgar had just turned around when Tiffany, who was breathing on him, scratched a bloody mark on his hand.

Rafa said, "Never mind that slutty woman for now! I have something to ask you."

Rafa said, "Do you remember what happened during the fight just now? Tell me everything from the beginning."

Edgar looked confused: "What are you trying to do? Are you my mother? Why are you interfering so much?"

Rafa: "I am!"

Edgar sighed, "I saw monsters outside, so I came out to help. Then I saw you there looking at the tombstones, so I asked you for help. After that, I was fighting the zombies on the ground. In the middle of it, a zombie suddenly pounced on me, but luckily I was quick-witted and rolled away without getting hurt. After that, after that... I was... I was in the guild hall?"

As Edgar spoke, he himself began to realize that something was amiss.

Rafa pulled him aside, glanced back at Terra, and whispered in his ear, "Listen, what you said about your memories up to the time you fought the zombie is correct. You did dodge the first attack from that zombie, but you were quickly caught up and knocked away by it. When I went to check on you, you were already dead."

Edgar frowned. "What do you mean I'm not breathing? I'm perfectly alive and well! Are you hoping I die?"

Rafa: "But you really did die once, I swear on my life, I'm telling the truth."

Edgar glanced at the female mage's trembling chest, then looked back into her eyes: "I believe you now. So, what do you think happened?"

Rafa: "Don't you think Terra is a strange person? And you should have seen it after you were resurrected, right? After Terra was knocked away by those monsters, his body shattered into several pieces, but not long after, he came out of that small room again. Don't you find that very eerie?"

Edgar: "So you're saying Terra used some kind of magic to resurrect me?"

Rafa nodded: "That's what I think. We have absolutely no idea what Terra is, and we can't even tell what race he is from his appearance."

Edgar: "You mean Terra is actually a monster?"

Rafa: "I don't know."

She glanced at Mana, who was cursing at the necromancer, and said, "Mana1, you teamed up with Terra before, right? They went to a ruin together. Later, Mana1 went to a village with Terra alone to do some kind of job for bandits looking for pigs. After that, Terra caused quite a stir at the black market."

"Mana1 must have already witnessed Terra's abilities, so why didn't she say anything?"

Edgar: "Are you secretly in love with Mana? How do you know everything she did?"

Rafa blushed: "No! I just find it strange, not just Terra, but I also find the elf who teamed up with Terra very strange."

Edgar: "Isn't that elf perfectly normal? Oh, are you feeling threatened because you saw Mana 1 with the elf?" Edgar teased.

Rafa: "In short, I think there's something wrong with that elf too."

Edgar: "So what are you going to do? Tell someone?"

Rafa shook his head: "I won't tell anyone. What if Terra finds out about everyone's strange behavior and it comes back to me? Wait, will Mana 1 also keep quiet for the same reason? Ah, never mind. Anyway, I plan to ask my mentor when I go back to the Magic Academy later and see what he says."

"I'd like you to keep an eye on Terra for me."

"I can't guarantee that, but you trust me quite a bit, telling me everything." Edgar nodded. "Give it to me."

Lafa tilted his head.

Ed rubbed his thumb and forefinger together: "Hush money, you know."

Rafa frowned: "We've been childhood sweethearts!"

Edgar: "Our feelings for each other have faded since the day I confessed my feelings to you and you rejected me."

Rafa puffed out his cheeks, swatted away the soldier's hand that was rubbing its fingers like a fly, and stuffed a few silver coins into his trouser pocket. "Here you go!"

Meanwhile, Terra has already obtained the Gravedigger's Shovel. The next step is to dig a shaft under the Guild Hall and place the Cave Crystal Tower there, after which she will no longer need to travel back and forth to the bed.

Just then, Stella emerged from behind the counter, carrying Wendy.

Terra witnessed this scene.

Wendy hunched her shoulders and looked at Terra with the squinting gaze of a guilty puppy looking down at its owner.

Terra and the elf Odu helped her retrieve her stolen purse, and she hadn't even said thank you yet, let alone offered any reward.

Terra saw Wendy, half of whose body was mineralized by blocks, and an exclamation mark bubble appeared above her head: "Are you a player?"

Wendy: "Huh?"
