Evil Immortal!

By this time, the fighting had ended, and there were more than a dozen corpses lying on the ground. Some of the corpses still had more than a dozen arrows stuck in them, making them look like hedgehogs. Their dead fish eyes stared at the sky, as if they had died with their eyes open.

Du Caidie walked over, clasped her hands in greeting, and said, "My lord, it has now been confirmed that this place is indeed the stronghold of the Ten Thousand Evils Cave. As per your orders, all the evil heretics have been annihilated, leaving no survivors."

As she said this, the way she looked at Meng Yuan was somewhat strange.

Du Caidie really couldn't understand how this Wanxie Cave stronghold could be so well hidden. People from the Demon Suppression Division had come here to investigate before, but they hadn't found anything. How could Meng Yuan, a newcomer who had only joined the Demon Suppression Division for half a year, know that there was something wrong with this place?

"very good!"

Meng Yuan nodded slightly and pointed to two rooms not far away: "These two places are protected by restrictions. There might be hidden demonic thieves inside, or there might be an ambush. Now, have someone open one of the doors for me! Remember, don't go in after it's opened."

"Yes, sir!"

Du Caidie gestured to the Demon-Suppressing Guard beside her.

The group immediately stepped forward and opened the door to one of the secret rooms. The room was dimly lit, with sunlight being swallowed up as it shone in, giving off a faint sense of danger.

The two rooms seemed to be protected by a spell. When Meng Yuan tried to probe into them with his divine sense, he was blocked by a gentle yet resilient force.

It was like a toothpick stuck in a tough, bulging leather bag, making it difficult to apply force.

"My lord, the door is already open. Why don't I go in and find out what's going on?"

Du Caidie clasped her hands in a fist salute.

"No rush."

Meng Yuan shook his head and looked at the players beside him: "You guys go in and take a look. If you see anything, remember to tell me."

"Shall we go in?"

Mouse Tail Juice and Twilight Sword exchanged bewildered glances, but just then...

With a ding, a message appeared on each of their panels.

You have triggered the E-rank mission "Exploring the Secret Room"!

[Exploring the Secret Room]

Mission Description: Master Ziyang needs your help to explore the secret chamber in front of him. It is worth mentioning that the chamber seems to be very dangerous.

Task Rewards: 100 experience points, 50 coins

......

A quest has been triggered!

Although it's a bit simple, the rewards for this task are quite generous.

The group was both surprised and delighted, and quickly agreed. Then, at Meng Yuan's signal, they decisively stepped forward and rushed into the secret room.

Meng Yuan waited quietly outside.

Du Caidie, standing to the side, hesitated, not quite understanding why Meng Yuan wanted to involve these extraterrestrials in this mission. Wasn't he afraid of any unexpected incidents?

Moreover, these extraterrestrial beings are outsiders and not trustworthy at all.

However, this matter was initiated by Meng Yuan, and it was not her place to say anything. Moreover, Meng Yuan's performance just now proved that he was well-prepared for today's operation. Therefore, she ultimately chose to keep quiet and said nothing.

Meng Yuan could see Du Caidie's concerns, but he didn't offer any explanation.

At this stage, it's one thing for ordinary people to be wary, but most of the high-ranking officials who actually know about these extraterrestrial beings are vigilant, defensive, and hostile towards the players.

However, it is precisely this attitude that gradually makes some players unhappy and develop a rebellious mentality. On the contrary, this "Master Ziyang" is unique and completely different from other NPCs. He has a kind and accepting attitude towards players and gives them opportunities.

In this way, the difference between the two is obvious, which will make players feel more favorably towards him and appreciate the specialness and uniqueness of Master Ziyang, making Meng Yuan widely praised among the player community.

This was also one of Meng Yuan's plans.

Of course, he's not doing charity work. Even if he gives players some small favors, his ultimate goal is still to exploit them.

"Uh—uh—"

"Hurry...help..."

Shortly after the players entered the secret room, they stumbled out, clutching their necks and trying to say something but unable to speak. Their foreheads were bulging with veins, and their faces were ashen. They seemed to want to ask Meng Yuan for help, but after taking only a few steps, they collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

As soon as the men fell to the ground, their bodies rapidly melted, quickly turning into a pool of viscous blood.

"What a terrifying poison... there really was an ambush inside!"

Upon seeing this, Du Caidie was first startled, then felt a wave of fear.

As a seasoned Gu practitioner with some knowledge of poisons, she could naturally see how terrifying the poisons used by these extraterrestrial beings were.

Such a potent poison would likely cause her considerable trouble, and her fate would be uncertain, even if she were to be poisoned!

She finally understood why Meng Yuan had involved these extraterrestrial beings.

With these people scouting ahead, the losses in this operation will definitely be reduced significantly!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Just then, as white light flashed one after another, the players who had just been poisoned were resurrected and appeared in front of Meng Yuan and Du Caidie.

"this......"

Du Caidie was dumbfounded. Then she remembered the special resurrection ability of these extraterrestrials and suddenly understood. But even though she understood, she still couldn't believe it when she saw these people die and come back to life in front of her.

They were just ordinary people who didn't know anything about cultivation, yet they possessed the terrifying ability to resurrect after death, which was truly enviable and astonishing.

Not only Du Caidie, but some of the other Demon Suppression Guards were also stunned by this scene.

Heaven have mercy!

Several people who had just been poisoned to death, their bodies turning into pus and blood, actually came back to life in just a few breaths!

This is too weird!

They are even more sinister than the evil demons and heretics in the Cave of Ten Thousand Evils!

Meng Yuan remained unmoved; he had these players follow him with the intention of using them to test the waters.

Although these players aren't very strong, they can still be resurrected after death, and they're all experts at clearing minefields. It's better to use them than to let the Demon Suppressor Guards die.

On this mission, completing the mission is one thing, but the Demon-Suppressing Guards under my command cannot suffer too many losses, otherwise the higher-ups will inevitably hold me accountable, and my achievements will be greatly diminished.

As soon as the mouse tail juice revived, it rushed forward a few steps, cupped its hands, and reported:

"Master Qi, when we went in, we found a white candle burning on the table, emitting a strange smell. There were some boxes next to it. When we opened them, we found gold and silver jewelry, swords and weapons. In addition, there were some jade slips and magical artifacts on the bookshelf, but they seemed to be protected by a restriction, and we couldn't get close at all."

Indeed, as he said, these items were placed in the secret room.

However, there was one thing he didn't say aloud.

Upon seeing the items inside the secret room, their eyes lit up with greed, and they couldn't resist the urge to take a few things.
