Chapter 222 Dead People, Even if They Know the Truth, It Is Meaningless

In the center of the vast desert, a lake is like a crystal blue gem, quietly embedded in the yellow sand.

The lake is clear and the sparkling lake surface shines charmingly under the sunlight, as if it is a mirror of the desert to the sky, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds.

There are several drought-resistant poplars growing around the lake. They are like loyal guards, sticking to this land.

The trunks of the poplars are twisted and vigorous, the golden leaves rustle in the breeze, and sparse camel thorns are also rooted here.

There are several small houses built with adobe not far away, which are the residences of the people living here.

Although the house is simple, it is full of the breath of life.

The smoke rising from the chimney slowly floats over the desert.

A tavern is also located in it, with walls made of a mixture of earth and stones, and the roof is covered with worn wooden boards.

The door of the pub is a heavy wooden door. When you push it open, it makes a "creaking" sound.

There are several rough wooden tables and benches inside. There are quite a few people in the pub. A handsome bartender is mixing cocktails by himself.

Chen Ping walked into the pub with a hint of surprise on his face. It was hard to imagine that there was such a place on the blue planet. He once thought that he had hallucinations or was in a scarlet secret realm.

"Hey! Sir, what would you like to drink?" The bartender glanced at Chen Ping and was also a little surprised.

"Give me a glass of the strongest wine!"

Chen Ping did not speak. The voice came from a woman in black who suddenly appeared behind him.

"Okay, miss!" The bartender was very gentlemanly.

Chen Ping walked to the bar and sat on a swivel chair without a backrest.

"Sir, you look unfamiliar. Is this your first time here?" The bartender asked casually.

"Yes!"

"This is already the center of the desert. We have come so far, and there are countless scarlet beasts in the middle. Sir, you have come here at all costs. You must have something important to do, right?"

"Looking for someone!"

"Looking for someone? I know everyone here. Who are you looking for?"

"The leader of the Desert Mercenary Group!" Chen Ping said calmly.

"So you are looking for Baldy. He took people to a secret place yesterday. He may not come out for a while. What do you want to see him for? Maybe I can help you convey it!"

As the bartender spoke, a glass of blue cocktail was prepared and pushed in front of Xiao Hei.

"I want him to kill someone!" Chen Ping said calmly.

"Killing people? He is really good at it, but the price is expensive!" The bartender smiled. Although he is a man, he always gives people a coquettish feeling.

"Price is not a problem!"

"Who does the gentleman want to kill?"

"This is a secret. I can only tell the leader of the Desert Mercenary Group!" Chen Ping also smiled.

"Then you need some patience, sir!"

"Five bottles of high-level life potion, one piece of red quality equipment, fifty red quality scarlet turntables! If you meet the leader, tell him this is my offer!"

After Chen Ping finished speaking, he slowly stood up. Seeing this, Xiao Hei, who was tasting wine on the side, quickly drank the remaining cocktail in the glass: "Compared with the boss lady Ella, it's ten galaxies worse!"

"Wait a minute!" The bartender stopped Chen Ping.

"What?"

"Her wine hasn't been paid yet!"

"Why does she ask me for money for the wine she drank?" Chen Ping did not stop.

"This lady..."

"It's so unpalatable, how dare you ask for money!" Xiao Hei said.

The bartender was a little speechless, and finally said: "I am the leader of the Desert Mercenary Group, these are my brothers, who do you want to kill?"

In the information of Jubao Pavilion, there is no specific description of this third strong man, who is the most mysterious one among the few.

Chen Ping, who had just entered the tavern, guessed that the bartender might be the leader of the mercenary group. After all, the strength of the Golden Nine Stars is rare in the entire Blue Star.

"Do you know the test of the temple?" Chen Ping stood at the door of the tavern with his back to the bartender.

"Temple test? This..."

"The person I killed is related to this!" As soon as Chen Ping finished speaking, Xiao Hei stretched out his hand and grabbed the two-handed sword out of thin air, and then his figure flashed and attacked the bartender directly.

"Old cat!" The bartender shouted while retreating.

"Roar!" A level 4 beast that looked like a tiger but not a tiger suddenly flew out from behind the bartender, and its body quickly grew larger.

"Dang!"

Xiao Hei's two-handed sword chopped on the "tiger head", shaking her hands sore and numb.

"Is your head solid?" Xiao Hei complained and immediately performed the Gangqi Sword Dance.

The powerful Qi, driven by the two swords, directly tore the entire tavern apart, and soil and bricks flew everywhere, and countless people sitting in the tavern were killed or injured.

"Who are you!"

Xiao Hei dragged the bartender's "old cat", and Chen Ping flashed and blocked the bartender who was about to escape.

"How much of the temple test have you completed?" Chen Ping asked.

"3%!"

"So little?"

"Plop!"

Before Chen Ping could make a move, the extremely gentlemanly bartender actually knelt down to him: "Please let me go, let me do anything!"

"So cowardly? Are you worthy of accepting the temple test?" Chen Ping frowned slightly. Is there no review standard for those who accept the temple test?

"Please, let me go, I just want to live..." the bartender begged.

"I want to live more than you do!"

Chen Ping said coldly, swung his knife with one hand, and killed the opponent directly.

"No! It's an illusion array!" After Chen Ping killed him, his expression suddenly changed.

His mental power was already very high under various blessings. He didn't take ordinary illusions and illusion arrays seriously, but this time he was fooled, and even fooled the spaceship?

Chen Ping immediately took out the golden mask and put it on his face. The surrounding scenery did not change, but the "old cat" who was fighting with Xiao Hei suddenly turned into a bald man with a beard on his face.

The subtlety of this illusion array is that the person who set up the array is involved in the game, not standing out.

"You actually saw through it!" The big man was slightly stunned, and an ominous premonition suddenly surged into his heart.

"You are still a little short of playing magic with me!"

Chen Ping stepped forward with a knife, and the big man immediately used his life-saving skills to teleport behind Chen Ping.

In this illusion array, he can teleport to any place in the array almost without consumption.

"Bang!"

The big man just moved, his body suddenly stagnated, as if he hit an invisible barrier, and his face was immediately full of horror.

In the distance, Alia was waving her staff. The magic shield she cast could not only protect but also restrict movement.

"Who... who are you?"

"Remove the shield!"

After Chen Ping finished speaking, Alia waved her staff again, and the magic shield in front of the big man was instantly removed. Chen Ping raised his knife and killed the big man directly.

"Dead man, even if you know the truth, it's meaningless!"

After Chen Ping finished speaking, Xiao Hei skillfully cleaned the battlefield and accidentally found three bottles of advanced life potion, which was the best harvest this time.

The following actions were relatively smooth, except for the seventh person, who had a relatively large force and was also a cunning rabbit with three burrows. Chen Ping and Ma Zi and others spent a lot of time and effort to find him.

"The completion rate of the temple test is 39%!"

After clearing seven people who accepted the temple test, the rate only increased by 14%.

In fact, if he wanted to increase it quickly, Chen Ping could wait for their completion rate to increase a little more, but in that case, the risk would increase significantly. Chen Ping did not like to do things without certainty. At most, he would have to trouble himself in the future and do more tasks, and he could get extra rewards when doing tasks.

The first few people were weak and did not get any better supplies, while the two people behind were relatively stronger and richer.

Chen Ping got a total of 16 bottles of advanced life potions, more than 20 jump engines, and more than 30 pieces of red quality equipment. These were things with higher value, and the rest were relatively ordinary, and were handed over to Ma Zi for processing.

"There are still two people left, and they are hiding quite deeply!" Chen Ping frowned slightly.

The information of these two people was not even available inside the Jubao Pavilion.

Without any clues, Chen Ping had to return to the Tiemu camp first and wait for Bai Yue's intelligence network to be completely established, perhaps he could find some clues.

Now, Chen Ping must complete more temple test tasks in a short time to ensure that he is faster than the other two!

The space was slightly distorted, and the spaceship reappeared above the Tiemu camp. At this time, only half a day had passed since they left.

Chen Ping suddenly found that a huge cylinder was being built on the open space in the center of the camp. Inside the cylinder, there was a spiral staircase. The roar of the machine and the command of the workers made the camp unusually noisy.

"Have you discovered any secret realms above A level recently?"

Back in the camp, Chen Ping first found Bai Yue.

"No new secret realms above A level have been discovered in Youzhou, but there is an SS-level secret realm in Qingzhou, and Wang Wenmo has sent people to guard it!"

"Well, how is the situation over there with Chu Chi?"

"The speed of progress is completely beyond my expectations. Under her guidance, we have produced several experimental weapons. Although the specific quality cannot be measured, the power is very strong and has surpassed the general red quality weapons!"

Speaking of this, Bai Yue's face was full of excitement.

"By the way, these are the design drawings of Tianmeng Academy. Take a look. Now they are building the Babel Tower you mentioned."

"They are all good. Just make your decision. I trust you to do the work!" Chen Ping glanced at a few drawings.

"What do you mean you trust me to do the work? You clearly want to be a complete hands-off boss!"

Chen Ping smiled and took out two bottles of advanced life potions and more than 30 pieces of red equipment.

"I'm not saying this to ask you for things! Of course, these things can't be less!" Bai Yue said as she put away the things Chen Ping gave her.

"There are indeed a lot of things going on recently. It will be fine after a while. I'm going to Qingzhou now!"

"Go now? No one can pass the new SS-level Scarlet Secret Realm at the moment, so there's no rush!"

"Some things are very troublesome to explain. I can only say that this matter concerns my life and death!" Chen Ping said seriously.

Bai Yue's face changed slightly when he heard this: "Is it so serious? Then go quickly!"

"The intelligence network..."

"Don't worry, I will complete the establishment as quickly as possible!" Bai Yue nodded.
