Chapter 1068: Chapter 491 Court of Oath_3

"So that’s how it is..."

Mu You sighed, no wonder those two lower-tier human soldiers had dared to casually threaten to kill the fairy girl. Unnamed fairies in this land were nothing more than cannon fodder; even if they died in the streets, probably no one would care.

Mu You opened the chat box, just about to say a few words when a strange message suddenly popped up in the game.

[You suddenly notice several prying eyes casting their gaze from different directions, encircling you.]

[You want to turn around and look, but the surrounding crowd is swarming, and it is difficult to identify the source of the gaze amidst all the heads in a short time...]

Being tracked?

Mu You frowned, they had just entered the city and hadn’t done anything yet, how could they have attracted attention so quickly? Could it be that their identities had already been recognized as abnormal?

Mu You couldn’t be sure, but he couldn’t be careless either, hurriedly privately messaged his avatar a few times in the game.

[You exchange a knowing look with the Watchman.]

[Suddenly, you both start moving, swiftly weaving through the crowd. Soon, you reach behind a corner column, where those prying eyes temporarily vanish.]

[Seconds later, the Watchman approaches from another direction, you extend your hand and directly absorb the Watchman into your body.]

[You switch to the Mysterious Human Skin.]

[You sprinkle some Bitter Dust from the fairy girl on yourself, then casually step out from behind the column and walk towards the gate with ease.]

[Until you step out of the gate, you don’t feel any prying eyes anymore.]

[You don’t go far but instead hide near a clump of bushes not far from the entrance of Oath Court.]

[About a few minutes later, you see five fairies rushing out of Oath Court and gathering at the entrance.]

[One of them, a red-haired fairy girl in a lavish gown, gestures and points at the others.]

["Where are they?"]

["...Garbage!"]

["...Go find them quickly..."]

[Under the command of the Red-haired Fairy, all the fairies immediately disperse, searching in all directions...]

["Your Highness, the Saintess?" When the Red-haired Fairy appeared, you hear a low exclamation from the fairy girl beside you.]

["Who is she?" You ask the fairy girl.]

["Saint Tina, one of the five Saintesses of Bitter Garden. It is the duty of the saintesses to perform the Dance of God Invoking for all new Statues of Gods to endow them with spirits. This task is irreplaceable, so the five saintesses hold a status in Bitter Garden far more noble than that of ordinary high-level fairies," the fairy girl explains.]

Mu You frowned upon reading this, a saintess whose role involved invoking gods through dance; why would such a person target him? To be precise, target both him and his avatar. If she had only targeted him, it could have been because of some artifact he carried, but the Watchman had almost nothing of value, yet he too became a target.

Mu You couldn’t figure it out for the moment. Anyway, entering Oath Court was out of the question from now on, and for a short while, he couldn’t switch back to Lucky Dust either. The people here distinguish targets by the scent of the pollen, and the other party might have already memorized the scent of the Lucky Dust.

Mu You looked up at the time, five in the morning, it was about the same time in the game, dawn was approaching.

Fuya had gone to rest long ago, he had inadvertently stayed up all night again.

At this moment, idle in the game and still being tracked, Mu You simply decided to log off and rest for a while. But before he could exit, a new message popped up in the game.

[You suddenly feel the ground beneath you tremble violently; the entire surface begins to shake severely, and misaligned cracks appear on the nearby streets, spreading rapidly around.]

[In just a few seconds, the shaking abruptly stops, but you notice a layer of faintly visible black mist emerging continuously from those cracks.]

[Several bizarre creatures roaming the streets become incredibly berserk under this black mist, emitting series of piercing roars in the night, terrifying the pedestrians who flee in all directions.]

[Yet, the bizarre creatures disregard every pedestrian and suddenly, all at once, stare at you and the Watchman, and after a roar, they charge towards you.]

"?"

Mu You looked on in bafflement. These creatures had been docile all day; why had they suddenly started attacking them again? Could the dust have worn off?

In haste, Mu You sprinkled himself and his avatar with more dust in the game.

But still, the creatures completely ignored everyone else and charged directly at them, as if they were facing mortal enemies.

["What should we do, main body?" As more bizarre creatures appear around you, rushing towards you, the Watchman quickly looks to you for help.]

"What else can we do? We have to fight..."

Mu You sighed. All they could do now was to break through the encirclement or log off.

But logging off was a temporary solution and wouldn’t solve the underlying issue. If they didn’t understand the reason for the attack, they would face the same problem once online. And even if they decided to log off, they had to at least pull their characters to a safe place first.

[You switch to the Vampire skin, grab the Magic Wand, and start blasting magic around you. The Watchman also joins you in the attack.]

[A vast array of magic explodes in the street ahead, instantly devoured by flames and thunder...]

[You and the Watchman carve a path through the encircling bizarre creatures, rushing forward, but you discover more bizarre creatures continuously joining along the way...]
