Firstly, Disaster Lady must be brought along… because for this raid on the Consciousness Core Area of Black Tide Island, the most important thing is to find out where Denghis Xisi is.

The Beheading Squad’s mission is to directly eliminate the Island Master’s negative consciousness and ill thoughts, but the core consciousness of Black Tide Island… Jiang Qiao heard from the matron that it’s incredibly complex, a strange world without up, down, or direction.

Players with 3D motion sickness will definitely throw up as soon as they enter.

So, to find the consciousness of the Island Master in such a bizarre world, we must rely on the Tracking Technique of the planar pirates.

And the fee required by Disaster Lady is ten denarii.

As the Pirate Captain of the planar pirates, with the hit points of a lord-class, Jiang Qiao finds it astonishing that the fee is only ten denarii.

“The problem now is, even if we send players worth four denarii into the instance, we can at most form a team of twenty-five people. The Holy Spirit’s hero-class instances require forty people. With this ‘no survivors’ difficulty level… can a twenty-five-person team really get through?”

Caramel talked about the disheartening facts on the side again, but this time, what he said was… quite important.

“The structural integrity of the Spirit World is much more fragile than that of the physical world,” Wenna spoke, clearing up Caramel’s doubts, “As beings between flesh and spirit, Holy Spirits, the damage you cause to the conscious world of Black Tide Island is fatal, and the damage they can cause to you is fatal as well.”

This explanation from Wenna came from the matron, who is akin to a key, the key to the core conscious world of Black Tide Island, and the breeder’s portal is like a lock.

Both are indispensable.

However, the players present did not question the above, as they saw it merely as the key instance for the final battle of Black Tide Island, the kind that can be repeated even after clearing it.

“So basically… we can one-shot the monsters, and they can one-shot us?” Caramel gave a fitting description.

“As you say.” Wenna didn’t understand what one-shot means, but since Jiang Qiao said it was correct, she could only agree.

“If that’s the case, the demand for skill is very high.”

After learning about the mechanics of the instance, Mo Shigui immediately recruited all the active professional players worth seven denarii into the Beheading Squad without a second thought.

“Doesn’t that mean we don’t need tanks anymore? Mister Song, looks like you’re retired again hahahaha!” Lu Wei, poking fun at Mo Shigui’s sore spot without any reservation, realized something and then was promptly removed from the Beheading Squad’s roster by Mo Shigui.

“Ah! I get it! I won’t mention your retirement anymore! I will work hard on this raid!”

After reinstating Lu Wei, Mo Shigui reflected that the instance required high mobility, large-scale damage, or professions capable of covert assassination.

In essence, with the exception of tank-like professions that weren’t needed, every other profession could be integrated; it’s just that their roles would differ.

In the end, Mo Shigui selected fifteen members for the Beheading Squad, leading with the indispensable Disaster Lady, followed by Zhao Mingwei, Juan Canyun, Lu Wei, Caramel, Qi Junzi, and a “milk dad” from the Titan Team. Among the regular players, Mo Shigui only chose Jiang Qiao and “Extra Heal No Extra Charge.”

Jiang Qiao might be the best Elemental Summoner in Holy Spirit, with summoned creatures that could serve as excellent scouts. Next, “Extra Heal No Extra Charge” as the number one healer of Holy Spirit was surprisingly only five denarii!

It’s the perfect hundred-point card, perhaps because “Extra Heal No Extra Charge” had just recovered from a serious illness.

Jiang Qiao is also a five-denarii card… but if Jiang Qiao switches to Creator Mode, it might cost tens of thousands of denarii, though Jiang Qiao will not use much in his normal conscious state.

After tallying up everything, the final selection of these fifteen only cost ninety-seven denarii, leaving the last three denarii.

“I feel a bit suffocated, Old Song, you know I have OCD,” Caramel, who had been silent on the side, spoke up at this moment.

Once he spoke up, the others, who hadn’t been paying much attention, began to feel an oppressive sense of despair.

“Chairman, how about we find someone worth three denarii in our guild?” Fluffy Rabbit sadly realized she was a five-denarii hero. If only her gear had been worse, maybe she could’ve squeezed in?

“No need to look, you’ve got one right behind you,” said Mo Shigui.

At that moment, every professional player present, along with the top gamers, turned their eyes toward the young Insect Tamer who hadn’t dared to speak much.

“I… I’m worth three denarii.” Insect Tamer didn’t understand how the cost was calculated; it could be that his equipment was too poor to keep up or that he hadn’t played Holy Spirit for as long as the others.

In any case, the breeder had informed Insect Tamer through numerical values that he was the weakest among all present, which slightly dented his confidence. Beneath his desire for others’ approval lurked indescribable inferiority.

“Can you take the last spot?” Mo Shigui still chose to trust his own judgment; Insect Tamer was a promising candidate, but talent… was the least valuable thing among the group gathered.

“Should… be able to.”

“I don’t need the first two words.”

“Able to!”

“That’s enough.”

Mo Shigui added the Insect Controller to the team, and the sixteen-member Beheading Squad was officially assembled.

“Can I also be considered a part of it?” Wenna raised her hand slightly at this moment, “I might also be able to play the role of a guide, and as a former member of the Black Tide Island consciousness, entering does not require the consumption of teleportation energy.”

“You? Are you sure you’re not the character who betrays us at a critical moment?” Qi Junzi directly voiced his objection to Wenna’s request.

Qi Junzi certainly hadn’t forgotten how fierce and brutal Wenna was when she fought against him in the arena; he still didn’t believe that this Magic Thief had sincerely defected and was more inclined to think that she was the type to betray.

“My body and soul now belong to the Spirit known as Chang Qing. If you think I have any treacherous behaviors, she can kill me on the spot.”

Wenna really wanted to quarrel with Qi Junzi right now, but she still held back because she knew that this might be her only chance to resolve the complex feelings Zhao Mingwei had caused her.

“Eh? Eh? Do I have this option? I really do!” Xia Shan, originally a little follower here to watch the drama, became extremely nervous as if she were a hamster when everyone’s gaze fell on her.

“So be careful not to press the wrong one,” Jiang Qiao whispered to Xia Shan.

“Mhm, mhm, mhm, mhm! I won’t press it!” Xia Shan quickly crossed out the option to kill Wenna.

In fact, this feature was Jiang Qiao’s; Jiang Qiao had the power to make Wenna detonate with just one click.

“That would add another freeloading character,” the Fluffy Bunny said.

“Then that includes you.” Mo Shigui still acknowledged the super combat power of this Magic Thief; although she had become much weaker after turning over a new leaf, her fundamental strength was still there.

“Shall we enter the instance now?” Lu Wei couldn’t wait to claim the first kill of the core consciousness of Black Tide Island!

But just then, the main city of the breeders suddenly shook violently! The shake lasted only a brief moment before stopping, but…

“The attack from Black Tide Island has begun.”

The mother’s voice made everyone’s mood grow tense; at the same time, she opened her hand, and a projected interface appeared on it.

This projected interface was none other than Biland Island… At this moment, the skies above Biland Island were covered by dark clouds, a vast rift in space-time had torn open the sky… The Dragon Lords falling from Black Tide Island descended upon the ground of Biland Island like locusts.

The scene was enough to invoke thoughts of the apocalypse.

“We must rush back immediately!” Juan Canyun anxiously shouted.

“The NPCs in the stronghold have been evacuated to the safe underground shelters; the players’ Fureyas have also been withdrawn to Queen Mei’s Sanctuary Cathedral,” Mo Shigui said.

Queen Mei’s Sanctuary Cathedral was a setting temporarily introduced by Jiang Qiao for the decisive battle with Black Tide Island… it was a somewhat useless feature that allowed players to temporarily entrust their Fureyas to Queen Mei.

This setting was purely to console the players. Of course, some naive players didn’t go through this procedure with Queen Mei, but their Fureyas would still be unharmed.

“Mingwei, it’s time for the final battle.” Mo Shigui’s gaze turned to Zhao Mingwei, “I’ll leave the command to you.”

“Alright.” Zhao Mingwei hadn’t forgotten that he used to be the captain of a top-tier team; his command skills were no less than Mo Shigui’s.

“We defend, you attack,” Mo Shigui said, raising his arm towards Zhao Mingwei.

“You defend, we attack!”

After a light fist bump with Mo Shigui in mid-air, Zhao Mingwei turned around and headed toward the glowing teleportation gate with the members of the Beheading Squad.

Mo Shigui, without looking back, led the remaining players quickly towards the teleportation gate to Biland Island.
