I'm in the Ark, a player.

Oh no, the inherently evil Qin Tianling... will definitely not let this opportunity slip by!

The moment this thought flashed through Lin Yuxia's mind, she saw Qin Tianling's lips slowly part in a smile.

"Lin Yuxia, kneel down!"

As expected, he's mocking himself!

"Goo..."

With a slight bite of her teeth, Lin Yuxia pursed her lips, pushed herself up, snatched the boot from his hand, and glared at Qin Tianling with displeasure.

She put her boots back on, took deep breaths, and tried to calm herself—don't be angry, don't be angry, there are still things to do, this is necessary for the mission...

After a moment, Lin Yuxia spoke again.

"Ahem, now that you've taken care of these people, it's time to complete the task I gave you."

If you didn't want to hear what I said before, I'll just give you a brief explanation now—

"jump over!"

She was interrupted by Qin Tianling before she could finish speaking.

"Because I roughly know where it is, you can just follow me."

No?

I never said what I was planning to do, so how do you know what I was planning to do?

Some doubts lingered in her mind, but seeing Qin Tianling take such a determined step, Lin Yuxia hesitated for a moment before following him.

Qin Tianling walked straight to the counter, climbed over it, opened the door in the wall behind the counter, and went inside.

Inside was a warehouse-like space. After passing through this space, continuing forward, there was a long, narrow passage, at the end of which was a downward staircase.

Continuing downwards, you'll find a basement with two doors on each side.

Qin Tianling walked straight to one of the iron doors. A black straight sword appeared in his hand, its blade emitting intense flames. The high temperature heated the edges of the iron door until they were red-hot and soft, and he sliced ​​through the entire door as easily as cutting butter.

The iron gate slammed shut, letting light into the dark room.

Qin Tianling turned to look at Lin Yuxia and pointed to the room.

"Here it is."

"The missing person you're looking for, the one kidnapped and held captive by the Qinglin Hall, is right here."

No way............

Did they really know what I wanted to do?

They actually found it!?

You didn't even listen to what I was supposed to do!

Lin Yuxia's mouth gaped slightly in surprise.

Even though she knew Qin Tianling was outrageous,

But she never expected Qin Tianling to be so outrageous!

No wonder Swire and Chen Huijie liked hiring Qin Tianling so much... So he was that capable?

It has to be said that Lin Yuxia was somewhat tempted.

Faced with Qin Tianling's ability and efficiency, his terrible personality seemed insignificant. Lin Yuxia felt that all the things he had done to her in the past were worth tolerating.

It looks so tempting!

Lin Yuxia was certain that as long as she had Qin Tianling, even without other subordinates, she would definitely be able to achieve something that would earn her father's approval!

And just then, the mission rewards were distributed.

[The missing person who was illegally detained has been found (3/3)]

[Reward Distribution]

【Famous Sword Moon Shadow】

[From: The Ring of Elden/Night Reign]

[Introduction:]

A knife forged from pyroxene.

A masterpiece crafted by Seria's swordsmith.

When the sword is sheathed, the blade emits a light.

Therefore, it was named "Moon Hidden".

Combat Art: Crescent Moon Shadow

Sheathed the sword at his waist.

A combat technique that involves assuming a stance and remaining stationary.

After initiating, follow up with a light or heavy attack.

It can release light waves while simultaneously delivering high-speed slashes.

Another new weapon.

He seems to have an absurdly large number of weapons.

However, you may not need it yourself, but the system cannot refuse to provide it.

Okay, now let's take a look at these three unlucky guys.

Qin Tianling peered inside using the basement light.

The space is small, about twenty square meters, and the cement floor has several dark, old marks.

In the corner, one person huddled there, head down, hugging another person, shoulders trembling slightly, while the other person lay motionless on the ground, face down.

Then, after the smell of the melting iron gate dissipated, Qin Tianling smelled a strange stench of blood and couldn't help but frown.

It wasn't because he disliked the taste of blood, but because he was puzzled and found it very strange.

Why the hell does this missing person have a blood bar above their head?

The next moment, the missing person who was holding the person threw the person aside.

The light streaming into the room shone just on his upper body; there were multiple bite wounds on his neck, the edges of the skin torn open.

The missing person who had initially been holding the other person let out a strange howl.

"Roar—roar roar roar roar—"

Then, as if it had smelled its prey, the creature sprang to the ground on all fours and charged toward Qin Tianling in a contorted and unnatural posture!

—He wasn't crying at all just now; he was hugging and kissing someone else!

Are these guys really just ordinary, strange, innocent people being imprisoned and about to be sold?!

A question flashed through my mind.

Qin Tianling reacted even faster, instinctively taking a step back to shield Lin Yuxia in front of him!

"Don't be afraid, Lin Yuxia, I'll protect you!"

..

............

Chapter 200, Beastification Disease

Just as that figure was about to pounce, Lin Yuxia's Crystal Wall reappeared.

The glass wall, expanding outwards like a city wall, not only blocked the oncoming figures but also used its force to smash them open.

The missing person, who had been thrown back, crashed heavily onto the ground outside the room, rolled several times, and then slammed into the wall.

"You keep talking about protecting me while using me as a shield. You really are awful..."

Lin Yuxia complained somewhat discontentedly.

If I hadn't reacted quickly, I might have actually gotten infected.

"That's not how it works. I didn't do it on a whim."

"It's because you're the most capable person to handle this situation. I trust you to manage it and protect me, that's why I did this."

Releasing Lin Yuxia, Qin Tianling shook his head and said with a smile,

But he was met with a slap from Lin Yuxia.

"...Tsk, I never thought you could say something like that."

"So you believed it?"

"How could I possibly reply!"

Lin Yuxia said irritably,

She wasn't really stupid; she could easily guess that this guy probably wanted to see how she would react after hearing those words.

To satisfy his childlike curiosity.

"Roar-roar-"

The missing person, who had just fallen to the ground, struggled to get up.

The light shone on him, allowing Qin Tianling and Lin Yuxia to see his full appearance.

It was a Luper man.

But it's not normal.

Its mouth protrudes like that of ancient people. Inside its mouth, the once-flat molars and incisors have all transformed into sharp fangs of varying sizes. The blood from others it has devoured is still clinging to its mutated mouth and surrounding area.

His left hand was normal, but his right hand was strangely long and thin, with thick, black fingernails, distinct knuckles, and fine hairs growing on his arm.

The legs were transformed from normal human legs into inverted feet resembling those of a wild animal.

His back was almost entirely covered in Originium, the black ore with hints of yellow resembling armor.

At this moment, his hands and feet were on the ground, his body was straight, and his forelimbs were lowered so that his whole body leaned forward, as if he was about to pounce again in the next second.

Is this really the victim I'm looking for?

Is this really a human being?

When Lin Yuxia saw the other person, this question filled her mind.

The other party was less like a human and more like a wild beast.

A beast that evolved from a human, a beast-like... human?

Lin Yuxia wasn't sure if she was right to describe him that way, but she could see in his scarlet, beastly eyes a kind of hungry, savage gaze, like a wild beast wanting to prey on her and Qin Tianling.

There must be some reason why they have become so much like wild beasts.

For now, let's call this condition "beastification disease"...

"How dare you breathe on me?"

Logically speaking, someone of your caliber shouldn't even be qualified to breathe on me!

Qin Tianling's cursing voice came from behind Lin Yuxia. Completely oblivious to the strange noise, he reached out to grab Lin Yuxia, but grasped only air.

Lin Yuxia escaped unscathed because she had already guessed Qin Tianling's intentions.

Lin Yuxia glanced at Qin Tianling to the side.

"What are you planning to do now?"

"Of course we're going to make him into a sandwich! A werewolf sandwich!"

"No, we can't kill him."
