Chapter 687: Chapter 359: Dawn Investigation Team (5)

The adventurers exchanged puzzled glances. The abrupt change in Sword Ghost’s attitude had left them somewhat doubtful. But no one voiced their thoughts.

They were indeed very interested in the identities of people like Li Changhe. The ability to complete so many high star tasks overnight indicated that they were of platinum strength or perhaps even greater.

Such a dark horse would surely arouse a lot of curiosity.

Unfortunately, even the old man called Sword Ghost was not planning to take action, which discouraged them from probing further.

Actually, Sword Ghost had already tried to test them. Despite known as the Sword Ghost due to his cruel methods, he had encountered a more brutal existence this time.

He could feel the killing intent that bore the weight of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. How many lives had faded away under their hands?

On the other side, Li Changhe walked onto the deck as if nothing had happened.

"Was that supposed to be a probe? Good, it spared us a lot of trouble," Li Changhe thought when their gazes met, the old man’s killing intent was boiling, as if he was about to strike at any moment.

The old man also seemed to be a hard person. It could be faintly perceived from a single gaze that quite a few people had died in his hands.

But of course, Li Changhe was no different. Be it on the Mysterious Island or the Great Tang battlefield, he was also an insatiable demon who slaughtered without end.

From just a glance, both had already understood what the other was made of.

So, the old man lowered his gaze and backed away.

Li Changhe didn’t pay it any mind, players didn’t need to compete with non-player characters for superiority. If they wanted to probe, he would let them see. Which player who had experienced the war scenarios was not blood-stained?

Some players even had more kills than Li Changhe. Who were they trying to scare with this killing aura?

A few hours later, the teams began to board the ship.

Two Shark-class warships and six Sea Cow class warships. Nine adventurer teams and even more sailors.

A fleet of more than five hundred people majestically set sail from the harbor.

Perhaps due to Sword Ghost’s silence about the ’Dawn’s Hammer’ issue, the person in charge of the guild named this fleet as the ’Dawn Investigation Team’.

At this point, no one knew. The Dawn Investigation Team would be called the greatest expedition.

Within the fleet, the ’Black Pearl’, where Li Changhe and the others were, and another Shark-class warship were situated at the very front of the fleet.

They would investigate on their own, and Li Changhe and the others would escort theirs. It was just that they were going the same way. This was the explanation given by the guild, and Li Changhe and the others expressed their disbelief.

Within the ship’s cabin, the players had just finished inspecting the warship.

"No wonder it’s so expensive, this warship used to be the flagship of a country’s admiral. The equipment is all top-rated," said He Feng, "It was probably meant to be used as the flagship for the investigation team from the start. The Defense Force is decent."

"And it’s also very fast, their magic wind sail can allow fast sailing even in adverse winds," Jiangshan analysed, "Even if we encounter adverse weather, we should be able to reach the Elf Island in time."

"Are both the sailors and the adventurers okay?" Li Changhe asked. Having too many people could also be a disadvantage, assassins might hide among the crew. Like Lady Nanzhuang on the Mysterious Island, lurking in the Great Tang team, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

"I’ve tested with my abilities." Chen Yu shook his head, "None of them harbor any ill intentions towards us."

"Since there’s no problem internally, we just need to be careful of external dangers." Li Changhe thought, but suddenly heard an inexplicable voice again.

Li Changhe immediately raised his hand to signal the others not to speak.

He then scanned the room to confirm that it wasn’t a sound made by He Feng or the others.

He Feng and Chen Yu were quick to react.

"Did you hear it again?" asked He Feng.

Chen Yu immediately closed her eyes and released her senses.

As a player with high energy, her sense abilities were the strongest among those present. But she didn’t detect anything abnormal. Instead, it startled the mages on the ship who were in deep thought.

Having been startled simultaneously by Chen Yu, they were greatly surprised by this tsunami-like psychic energy.

"The other party bears no ill will, were they merely saying hello?"

"Dawn’s Hammer is indeed a formidable team!"

"Such formidable psychic energy!"

"No wonder the guild advanced the assembly of the investigation team to accommodate them!" the mages chattered amongst themselves. Chen Yu inadvertently established prestige for ’Dawn’s Hammer’, causing those slightly dissatisfied adventurer teams to immediately fall silent.

"It seems that it truly is a higher existence." Chen Yu opened her eyes, "It didn’t leave a single trace behind."

"If you were to hear voices in the preparation space, it could still be plausible. After all, the preparation space is a rift in time and space. But you’re in this world now. So if you can still hear their voices, it means... that being is truly in this world," Jiangshan carefully extended a thread, ready to cast a spell to relocate everyone at any time.

"But how did it contact you so accurately? It can’t possibly be the existence that you worship, right?" He Feng furrowed his brows.

"No, that we can safely rule out." Li Changhe shook his head.

"So what did it say?"

Instead of answering out loud, Li Changhe explained it in the [Friends] channel.

"Kill that elf," said the mysterious voice, cluttered and piercing, sounding like the noise of a gong.

An elf... Is it referring to Xiao Ye?

The players looked at Xiao Ye, who was munching on an apple by the side, and nodded silently.

It certainly wouldn’t be the existence that Li Changhe worshipped. Otherwise, Li Changhe would have some inclination towards attacking Xiao Ye.

"How did it contact you then?" He Feng furrowed his brows. They were all human players, so why didn’t the other three hear any response?

Li Changhe thought for a moment, then found a corner. The space in his hand fluctuated continuously.

He threw out all the Mountain Pattern Armor, Sin Dragon Mo Blade, Sheepskin Paper, and everything else.

He speculated that something in his inventory might have led him to hear the other party’s voice. At least, the first thing to confirm was what that thing was.

Gather as much information about the other party as possible.

...

At the same time, at Elf Island.

A white-robed, white-haired elf was meditating. His overly handsome face made it hard to distinguish his gender.

This was the surviving hero of the present, Rorodoa, the Great Sage Elf!

Rorodoa opened his eyes and looked at the attendant outside his tree house.

"Great Sage, the humans have assembled an investigation team. Undoubtedly, the compatriot of the Protector of the Divine Tree is also among them." The attendant reported the information they had gathered.

"Go, command our navy to bring that unfamiliar compatriot back. She will bring renewal to our world." Rorodoa softly spoke, "I can’t leave the Divine Tree now. Be cautious of the traitors."

"Yes, Great Sage." The elf attendant quietly withdrew.
