Jiang Chen said: “What?”
Wooden Shackles explained: “I heard this was the level they got stuck on in the beta.”
Those Aces first searched the Untamed Realm thoroughly, found clues related to the Potion Master, then found the Potion Master herself, and started to make the medicine. Although this level wasn’t as troublesome as the little gremlin Oracle in [Ling Huai], it still consumed plenty of time.
Once they finally obtained the medicine painstakingly to find the wolf, they discovered that the wolf had disappeared. What happened after that was unknown. People only vaguely heard talks about “Doves can lead to the correct direction” and stuff like that. The Aces were stuck on searching for doves, unable to finish even by the time the beta closed.
Meteor Ironwood said: “So these are the doves we’re looking for. How come the system didn’t give us any notifications?”
Even though the hidden story quest was hard, it always gave hints.
Since they were able to update the mission, it’s reasonable for it to provide them a tip.
Fang JingXing said with a smile: “There is. Just look at the ground and wall, you guys.”
The crowd looked carefully and found at least four blood stains, one of which was right on top of the wall.
Probably considering they had witnessed the process of the “NPCs chasing the wolf” with their own eyes, there was no need for “doves to guide the way”.
They were convinced by the explanation and moved over the ladder at the base of the wall. Climbing onto the wall to take a look, they saw the NPCs standing in front of a tombstone. Their bodies were covered in blood that was clearly from the wolf’s bites.
The one, whose mom had died, stood in front of the tombstone, bawling hysterically: “Mom, don’t worry, I will definitely catch that wolf and bury it with you!”
The 10-man squad: “…….”
Honestly, howling like this only after they appeared?
If he howled like this before, would they have spent the entire morning searching?
They flipped over the wall one by one and saw there were a dozen tomestones here. Who knew what kind of people were buried here.
The group walked to the NPCs and discovered that this time, they could finally establish a conversation with the NPCs.
The conversation was very simple.
On Jiang Chen’s side, they needed to take the wolf with them, so they wanted to know which direction the wolf ran off to.
The NPCs, on the other hand, wanted to capture the wolf and bury it with the dead. The two sides could not come to an agreement, so Jiang Chen told them that the blood wolf wasn’t crazy in the past, that most likely, someone had hurt it; every injustice had a perpetrator, so they should find the criminal behind all of this.
The family of the deceased sneered: “Alright, you guys find the so-called perpetrator behind the scenes and I’ll tell you which direction the wolf ran off to.”
Another NPC was somewhat convinced and said hesitatingly: “I heard in the XiZuo Village outside of the city, there’s a Wizard that always harms animals, don’t know if it’s him. You guys can go and ask.”
The mission updated: Find the Wizard.
The group was very pleased. Right as they were about to leave, they heard the family member start saying again: “To prevent you guys from not returning after your inquiry, we must keep someone as hostage. Your squad leader can stay behind.”
The squad leader was Jiang Chen.
Before he could respond, he was held down by the group of NPCs, unable to move.

Wooden Shackles recalled the two Aces’ usual style and asked hesitatingly: “Are we going to fight?”
Mjcu AlcuWlcu rjlv: “Jjc oluta jcv rff.”
The 9 people activated PK mode collectively and charged courageously over to pick a fight with the NPCs.

Fang JingXing revived on the spot and shot him a look. Touching the Wardcaster on the head and pulling back before he got smacked, he said with a smile: “Stay here obediently and wait for me to come save you.”
White Dragonbone and the others felt very gratified.
Besides the “sit on my lap” incident, this was the first time they saw Abyss getting fresh with the guy. Such a jubilation worthy of celebration, he’s finally catching on!
As such, they followed the Ace in high spirits and left.
As soon as they left, however, the NPCs released the hostage.
Jiang Chen paced back and forth two steps. When he saw that they didn’t restrain him, he attempted to climb onto the ladder. Seeing them look over in unison, he gave up and walked to the newly constructed tombstone, wanting to see the name of the NPC’s mom.
Du FeiZhou also climbed over the wall with them. He stayed here and didn’t leave.
Seeing this, he also walked in front of the tombstone and looked down to take a glance. Suddenly, he crouched down and touched the blood stain on one of the corners.
Jiang Chen examined it briefly. It was a symbol in the shape of a polygon.
Du FeiZhou said: “The Radiant Moon Organization.”
Jiang Chen said: “What?”
Du FeiZhou said: “The level 80 world boss, Yue Hui.”
Jiang Chen said: “What’s the purpose of the organization?”
Du FeiZhou said: “You’ve never fought him?”
Jiang Chen lied through his teeth: “Perhaps, but I don’t know the name.”
Du FeiZhou nodded and told him.
Yue Hui was a human who established the Radiant Moon Organization. He planned to transform all of the Untamed into animals for them to control, so as to deal with the Demon clan and become the ruler of this land. However, because the organization brought destruction to the lives of too many people, it was eliminated by righteous heroes from all three races in a joint effort. Thoroughly defeated, the members of the organization scattered and fled in all directions. The leader, Yue Hui, also disappeared, whereabouts unknown.
He said: “This is the background of the story. Every time the boss refreshes, there’s an announcement saying he appeared again; heroes, please vanquish him.”
He pointed at the symbol on the tombstone: “This is the image printed on their banner.”
Jiang Chen said: “These people are actually the survivors of the Radiant Moon Organization?”
In other words, it’s not an injustice for them to be bitten by the blood wolf.
Back then when they were clearing the [Blood Wolf] quest, the game devs didn’t make the players kill the frenzied wolf that injured people with its bite, but instead trapped it inside a cave. Were they already setting up and foreshadowing this story?
Ever since Du FeiZhou incidentally discovered the cemetery here, he’s been unclear why it was enclosed; now he finally understood.
The survivors of the Radiant Moon Organization were an existence scorned by society. They didn’t dare to draw symbols on the tombstones openly, only drawing a blood stain. The marks on the other tombstones must have been washed away by the rain already. Only this new one had it. As such, he couldn’t discover anything useful in the past.
He said: “An announcement was made throughout the land. If anyone discovers members of Radiant Moon, they must notify the High Priest of the city. The High Priest is responsible for cleaning up the surviving members of this evil organization.”
He paused for a moment and then added: “Members of Radiant Moon have all studied black magic. When they die, they will transform straight into a skeleton. Also the skeleton will be black in color. As long as you bring evidence to the High Priest of the city, they should understand.”
Jiang Chen thought to himself, as expected of Du FeiZhou, knowing this in such detail.
He looked around the vicinity and discovered an iron shovel in the corner. He grabbed it and shoveled right in front of the tombstone.
The game probably took into consideration the players’ “Hero” status because with the sound of a “bang”— After shoveling just this once, the entire tombstone overturned. A hole even appeared on the coffin. From his perspective, he could see a pitch-black skeleton perfectly.
He reached out and picked it up.
The NPCs instantly went insane and rushed over to grab him.
Jiang Chen turned around immediately and ran off. He just climbed onto the ladder when they seized him, dragged him back, and threw him to the ground. They snatched back the skeleton and filled the grave in a flurry of hands.
Jiang Chen didn’t give up. Sitting on the ground and observing for a while, he saw that the NPCs had fixed paths to walk. As such, he waited patiently until they walked to the other side of the courtyard. Then he swiftly shoveled open the tombstone, grabbed the skeleton, and ran towards the ladder.
When he climbed onto the first bamboo step, he saw that he was about to get caught again and immediately turned around to throw a warding talisman, directly sealing the person in the very front. The people in the back instantly halted at the bottom of the ladder. Their movements were limited so they slowed down by a beat.
During this moment of reprieve, Jiang Chen flipped over the wall and shouted: “Where do I find the High Priest?”
Du FeiZhou said: “Exit the door, turn right, and head all the way straight.”
Jiang Chen said: “Thanks.”
At this time, Fang JingXing and his group had already left the city.
They had just walked over 100 meters when they saw a message appear.
[Horn] The Tail of August: Come come come, hurry up and form squads to watch the Ace [screenshot][screenshot][screenshot]
People clicked it open curiously.
In the image, a familiar Wardcaster was currently carrying a skeleton and running in the front on the streets of a small city while a group of blood covered NPCs was chasing after him. The two parties were less than 10 meters apart. The entire scene looked very exhilarating.
The entire server: “? ? ?”
Fang JingXing and the others: “……”
[World] Mobei Begging for Dried Fish: Oh my god, did he really dig someone’s grave?
[World] I like Summer: Hahaha Ace, run for it!
[World] My Dear Lady: Hahahahaha damn, I’m dying with laughter.
[World] Skittles: An Ace’s life is sure colorful [Envious] [Crying with laughter]
[World] Fruity Hairpin: They’re playing the hidden story quest, right?
[World] Gossip Consumer: Where? I want to go watch!
[World] The Traveler: I want to go as well. I want to see if he’ll die today.
[World] Scumbags Scatter: Too amazing, digging an NPC’s grave.
[World] Egg Tart~Crispy: Hahaha I really want to know what the other Aces are doing?
The other Aces were currently feeling a gust of wind.
Wooden Shackles: “What’s going on with him? We only left for a brief while and he’s already dug up someone’s grave?”
Xing TianCheng: “This is really quite 6.”
White Dragonbone: “It’s a miracle that he didn’t get killed on the spot.”
Wooden Shackles: “Perhaps because he runs fast.”
Deep Love and Longevity: “As expected of my sweetheart.”
Willow & Swamp: “You’re really not afraid to die huh……”
Fang JingXing didn’t interrupt. He asked with a smile in the squad channel: “Where are you headed?”
Jiang Chen said: “To find the High Priest.”
As such, Fang JingXing and the group returned to the small city and rushed to the altar in the east district.
When they arrived, the place was already surrounded by a lot of players who came to watch the fun.
Next to the altar was a huge outdoor temple. Although it wasn’t as imposing as the Main City, it was still presentable.
They saw the NPCs pushed onto their knees by the High Priest’s followers. The Wardcaster was currently saying something to the High Priest, then he raised the skeleton in his hand.
The High Priest got up abruptly and walked down the main seat. He accepted the skeleton and examined it, saying in a deep voice: “It’s indeed members of the Radiant Moon Organization.”
Jiang Chen looked at him, then at the seat above the staircase. Walking over there leisurely, he sat down, leaned back against the chair, and waited for the High Priest to end people.
The onlookers: “…….”
His squad members: “……”
You’re really just going to sit there without any qualms at all, huh……
The crowd screenshotted one after another, deciding to save a souvenir.
Fang JingXing laughed out loud. Walking next to him and looking down at him, he felt his heart itch incredibly. Finally, he accepted his fate.
Staying single for over 20 years, he avoided childhood friends turning into childhood sweethearts, avoided love and romance in the school campus, avoided internally digesting squadmates, avoided game commentators and reporters, and even more so, avoided fucking fans…… only to succumb to online dating in the end.
Online dating xD they aren’t even datign yet

And even online dating a guy who initially had no idea who you are or might be, and now Fang Jingxing also doesn’t know who Jiang Chen is.
