Jiang Chen blinked into the scene, simultaneously releasing the Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array.

Since it was set to Peace Mode, there was no need to worry about causing harm to other players.

In fact, the default setting was Peace Mode.

This way, when participating in large-scale actions in the wild, players wouldn't attack each other.

Otherwise, during collective fights against wild bosses, a bunch of area skills could end up killing the melee players before the boss even died.

Similarly, the reason why the main city's mansion and Main City Square were absolute safe zones was because players could only activate Peace Mode inside them.

At this moment.

As the hexagram magic array appeared.

A sacred white light rose from the pile of wild monsters.

Xiao Wei and her group were bathed in the holy light, their entire bodies glowing brilliantly.

They looked at the dazzling light in awe.

They even stopped thinking.

All they could see was a dazzling brilliance.

"This is so beautiful, is this the special effect when you die?"

Xiao Wei's eyes widened, her heart filled with amazement.

Suddenly!

The surrounding small monsters fell like grass cut by a scythe!

Over a hundred wild monsters, most of them died right there.

Only a few, because they hadn't been lured over, continued chasing the crowd ahead, escaping the massacre.

With all the nearby small monsters dead, the view suddenly cleared.

Xiao Wei saw a tall figure calmly turning to leave.

"All these wild monsters... are dead?!"

Dashing Young Master Leng looked around in disbelief, rubbed his eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "Am I seeing things?"

"They're really... all down!"

Next to him, Heartless Gale nodded woodenly, his mouth agape.

Shocked, he asked in confusion, "What exactly happened? This vast white light, is it a miracle?"

"It seems like it was that person!"

Tears of Beauty's voice rang out, pointing at Jiang Chen's departing figure, her eyes full of curiosity.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

"Wait a minute!"

Xiao Wei snapped back to reality and quickly chased after Jiang Chen.

The other three followed suit.

Meanwhile, among the thirty-odd players still running, someone finally noticed something strange.

"All, all the monsters behind us are dead!"

Someone shouted in surprise.

In an instant, everyone turned to look back while still running.

They found that most of the monsters behind them were gone.

In the distance, there were corpses everywhere.

It was the monsters that had been lured by that team.

They were all dead!

Busy escaping, they hadn't even noticed what had happened.

However, some had already started to form plans in their minds.

"Why are we still running? So many monsters are dead, let's turn back and finish them off!"

Someone shouted loudly.

"If you go, I'll go!"

Someone responded.

"Why are you so scared? There are at most thirty monsters left behind us. With so many of us, why would we be afraid?"

"Haha, then you go first. Why are you talking big while running at the front?"

"Stop arguing, there's no way ahead. There's only a mine, go in if you want!"

"Go in my ass, I've been inside, it's full of monsters. Let's fight with our backs to the cliff!"

A group of people shouted as they ran to the cliff in front of the abandoned mine.

With no way forward, everyone had to turn back to face the small monsters behind them.

Some even started giving commands: "All ranged attackers, prioritize the nearest small monsters!"

While the players were fighting fiercely with the small monsters, a bald mage named "Mana Overwhelming" quietly left the scene.

...

On the other side.

"I still need to go to the Spring of Purity."

Jiang Chen murmured as he walked.

Then, he frowned slightly and stopped, saying, "Stop following me."

He had always known that the "Love Burial Family" was following him, thinking they would leave soon.

Unexpectedly, they were so persistent.

"You finally stopped!"

Seeing Jiang Chen stop, Xiao Wei's face lit up, and she quickly walked up.

"Why are you following me?"

Jiang Chen asked helplessly.

"I just wanted to know..."

Xiao Wei came up to Jiang Chen and, seeing the mask on his face, suddenly froze.

Wasn't this the white-masked priest they had encountered before?

At this moment, the other three members of Xiao Wei's team also walked up.

"Hey? It's you, kid?"

Dashing Young Master Leng looked at Jiang Chen, surprised and curious.

Similarly, Heartless Gale and Tears of Beauty were also surprised.

"Can you speak properly!"

Xiao Wei glared at Dashing Young Master Leng.

"Sister Xiao Wei, I..."

Dashing Young Master Leng immediately shrank his shoulders, wanting to say something.

"Shut up!"

Xiao Wei interrupted him directly, then looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "Was it you who helped us just now?"

Jiang Chen decisively denied, "No."

Xiao Wei didn't believe it at all, "I know it was you. There was no one else around at that time."

"If you knew, why ask."

Jiang Chen pursed his lips in exasperation.

"Was it really you?"

Dashing Young Master Leng couldn't hold back, his eyes wide like copper bells.

"I told you to shut up!"

Xiao Wei glanced at Dashing Young Master Leng, then sincerely said to Jiang Chen, "I just wanted to thank you for saving us."

"No need for thanks. You helped me once, I helped you once, we're even."

Jiang Chen waved his hand indifferently, then added, "Stop following me!"

With that, he turned and walked away.

"You didn't need our help at all, so we're really grateful you saved us!"

Xiao Wei shouted at Jiang Chen's back, then asked, "By the way, I can't see your ID, what's your name?"

Jiang Chen ignored her and kept walking.

"Since we can't see your face, let's call you Faceless Brother!"

Dashing Young Master Leng shouted at Jiang Chen, "Faceless Brother, thank you!"

"What a pity... we didn't get his name."

Next to her, Tears of Beauty looked at Jiang Chen's receding figure with bright eyes, full of regret.

"Just remember it in your heart..."

Xiao Wei murmured softly, looking into the distance.

"Even if I wanted to forget, I probably won't ever forget today."

Dashing Young Master Leng sighed.

Then he shook his blond hair excitedly, "Do you think one day, I could be as strong as Faceless Brother? I feel like I have the potential to become a top expert!"

Xiao Wei: "Absolutely not!"

...

After the little episode, Jiang Chen quickly headed towards the Spring of Purity.

At the same time, he felt a bit emotional.

In his past life in [Gods], he had seen too much scheming and deceit, many people appearing gentle and refined on the outside, but actually being ruthless and treacherous inside.

Yet these seemingly "troublesome" youths were cleaner than most...

Soon after.

Jiang Chen arrived at his destination.

In a clearing in the forest, surrounded by small stones.

In the middle of the stone pile was a small spring.

The spring was bubbling with water.

"Spring of Purity!"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over.

He took out a bottle and started filling it with water.

Just after filling one bottle, Jiang Chen noticed that the spring had stopped bubbling!

Looking at the small puddle of water left in the spring, Jiang Chen frowned, "Won't it fill ten bottles?"

Given the nature of the previous task to obtain [Purple Crystal Tears], it was very likely!

Jiang Chen quickly took out bottles and started filling them.

Two bottles.

Three bottles.

...

Until the ninth bottle was filled.

Jiang Chen's expression improved a lot. He saw that there was just enough water left in the spring for one more bottle.

"A Niu didn't trick me this time!"

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, took out the last bottle, and was about to fill it with spring water.

Thud!

A muffled sound.

Jiang Chen's vision went white.

A snow-white leg blocked his view.

It just happened to separate him from the spring.

At the same time, a puddle of transparent, sticky liquid flowed down in front of Jiang Chen.
