“This guy can actually play the demonic tune from the flute. That’s terrifying!”

“D*mn it! Dodge the demonic tune’s attack! Hurry up!”

“I can’t! The black notes have already entangled me.”

“I feel a little dizzy right now.”

“Oh no! The demonic tune can add a stunning effect!”

“What shall we do now?”

“Where the player who modified one of his hands into a laser weapon? We have to rely on him. This is all his suggestion!”

The players looked around in panic.

Soon, they found the player carrying the laser weapon in his hand.

However, to their surprise, the player stayed where he was and was on the verge of collapse.

There was an additional status above his head showing “Dizzy”.

At the same time, the player’s body was constantly being attacked by musical notes.

“-500.”

“-700.”

“-555.”

The player’s entire body weakened soon due to the Magic Attack.

If that player was wearing a Cloak of Resistance instead of Armor, he might be able to hold on for a while longer.

After a while, that player whom everyone was relying on died on the spot. He was pierced through by the musical notes before returning to the resurrection point.

Seeing that their most trusted player had fallen, the rest players were all dumbfounded.

“I don’t care anymore!”

“Let’s fight it out!”

At the critical moment, they exploded with the strongest desire to survive.

Each player had chosen a unique class. Therefore, all sorts of weapons appeared, such as swords, spears, sticks, magic wands, and so on. The following attacks instantly made the scene dazzling.

However, this scene ended very soon.

“Demonic tune played by my flute!” Singer Qiqi snorted, then launched his skills again.

Boom!

The musical notes pierced through these players. Just as they were dizzy, they were killed.

The two elite members at the side had been thinking of attacking. Unexpectedly, Singer Qiqi had killed 20 players all by himself.

“AoE attacks are so strong! If I had known this earlier, I would not have chosen the warrior class. I haven’t managed to learn AoE attacks so far!”

“Haha, but you don’t have the talent like Singer Qiqi. Just forget it!”

“What we should focus on now is whether we can receive two rewards since the players have died.”

“Let’s hurry up and set off! There’s less than half an hour left before the escort quest will end!”

As soon as these words were finished, the elite members and the other ordinary members all looked at Singer Qiqi, waiting for his response.

At this moment, Singer Qiqi revealed a calm expression. He pointed into the distance and said, “Let’s go!”

Although he had killed 20 players, those players were generally around Level 15. Moreover, they were wearing silver or even black-iron equipment. Hence, he did not feel any sense of accomplishment after killing them.

For Singer Qiqi, the double rewards were even more desirable.

“When we make it, no one will be able to stop us, Xilong Guild, from becoming stronger!”

“Even Hidden Dragon Guild won’t do!”

…

Soon, half an hour passed.

At the gate of Moonlight City, the kingdom’s guards lined up in a row. There were a total of six guarding the gate.

However, what they cared about the most was the delivery under escort.

Soon, players appeared in front of them.

More than a dozen teams had arrived one after another, bringing with them a lively atmosphere.

The players’ excited voices kept coming from the crowd.

“Great! I can feel the platinum grade set equipment waving at me!”

“That’s weird! Why isn’t Maise the God in the crowded teams?”

“Yeah! I thought he would take part in the escort quest.”

“Don’t forget the 11 guild leaders have told us not to accept the escort quest on behalf of Maise the God.”

“I don’t care if they were speaking on behalf of Maise the God. The reason they stopped us from accepting the escort quest must be they had some ulterior motive.”

“Only a fool would believe them. Now we’ve seen the kingdom’s guards. It means that we can receive the reward.”

As the players approached the kingdom’s guards, the goods on the escort vehicles were unloaded one by one. Then, the players needed to transport the goods to a special place.

To the players, it was not a big deal to walk a bit more to transport the goods.

As long as they could obtain platinum grade set equipment, this kind of hard work was nothing to them.

However, there were also some complaints coming from the crowd.

Player Ceiling said coldly, “Where exactly do they want us to transport these goods to?

“We’ve already walked so far. Can’t they hand over this job of transporting the goods into the city to someone else?”

The player beside him, Keda, who was Ceiling’s friend, added, “And they ask us to take the stairs!

“If we don’t get double rewards, I’ll destroy all these goods!”

When he finished speaking, the other players were slightly stunned.

Although they didn’t want to pay so much effort either, they didn’t dare to say it out. After all, the kingdom’s guards leading the way were at Level 60.

If they were angered, the players would be courting death!

At this moment, the guards suddenly stopped in their tracks.

Seeing this, everyone couldn’t help but feel a knot of fear in their hearts.

Even Ceiling and Keda felt a chill run down their spines.

“Seriously? The kingdom’s guards are going to attack us?” they thought.

However, the players didn’t know at this time that the guards had paused for a moment because the super demonic beast, Gi-pterosaur, was approaching Moonlight City.

“Speed up!”

The guards suddenly shouted at the players behind them.

For a moment, the players could feel a solemn atmosphere around them.

Just go! It looked like the kingdom’s guards were about to get angry.

Soon, they transported the goods to a tall tower in Moonlight City as the guards told them.

After getting out, they raised their heads and looked up, then found that this tall tower emitted a strange aura.

“Have you guys opened the goods and taken a look? Do you know what we have transported this time?”

“I did open it and look. It seemed to be food. But there were also some jelly-like sculptures. I’ve no idea what they were used for…”

“Alright, why do we care about that? The most important thing right now is to get the reward for the escort quest!”

“Exactly! We just want the reward. It matters the most after we complete the mission.”

“Where are the kingdom’s guards? We have to get the reward from them!”

“D*mn it! We can’t find them. Could they have run away?”

The players felt anxious.

After all, they had walked so far. If they couldn’t get the reward, they would suffer a huge loss.

At this moment, the kingdom’s guards rushed out of the tower.

Noticing the guards, the players rushed up with excitement.

“Get lost!” the kingdom’s guards suddenly shouted. They seemed to have a strong sense of fear and wanted to escape from this place quickly.

After a second, an interface appeared in front of all the players who had accepted the escort quest.

“Ding! Alert from the world of Sword and Magic Alert: The kingdom’s guards are about to escape. The escort quest rewards cannot be distributed successfully!”

Three consecutive notifications sounded.

After hearing the sound, all the players were stunned. Yet, they quickly reacted.

“F*ck! They want to escape! Hurry up! Catch the guards!”

“We need our platinum grade set equipment!”
