From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 425 - 286 Main Quest Completed, Trials and Alliance

Chapter 425: Chapter 286 Main Quest Completed, Trials and Alliance

The team halted for a rest, and Lu Heng gathered all 20 human superpower users participating in this mission for a brief meeting.

"I’ve brought everyone together because there is something important to discuss, and it is a matter of life and death..."

Lu Heng began his introduction, scanning the faces of those around him before delving into the main topic:

"I believe you all have heard through various means a secret concerning the Moon Well Spring Water. But let me remind you, this Moon Well Spring Water must be delivered to the Moonshadow Forest.

"Let me make this clear, anyone who touches the Moon Well’s waters will face my wrath, and I will not hesitate to kill.

"Whether it’s an Abyss Summoner, a demon, or any other force, if you act against it, we are enemies with no room for negotiation."

Upon hearing these words, everyone began to ponder in silence.

One person asked, "Is it true that the Moon Well Spring Water can upgrade skills?"

For Lu Heng, upgrading skills was simple, requiring only sufficient Divine Energy and maxing out the Skill Proficiency.

However, for ordinary superpower users, they could only upgrade their skills by completing World Tasks.

Denying this fact was futile, and Lu Heng nodded in confirmation, "Based on the information we have, it’s true, the Moon Well Spring Water can indeed upgrade skills.

"However, I advise you all not to harbor such crooked ideas.

"First, think about where you heard this secret; why has everyone heard it?

Xie Shi’en spoke up, "The truth is quite apparent, this information was deliberately released to us by the Elf Clan."

"Why would they leak such a secret?" someone wondered aloud.

After a moment’s thought, Lu Heng unraveled their confusion, "The Elf Civilization has been fighting the Abyss for seven hundred years, and countless Summoners know the secret of the Moon Well.

"In other words, for the Elf Clan, they no longer care if one more civilization knows this secret.

"Even if they wanted to conceal it, they couldn’t for long.

"Therefore, they don’t mind disclosing this secret and then using it to test us.

"Yes, I’ll just tell you the answer.

"This mission is a clear test to see if we are thieves. frёewebnoѵēl.com

"We have been transported to this world for twenty days now, so everyone should have already received information from the previous batch of human superpower users.

"Correct, among that previous batch of summoned humans, there was a raiding team.

"This group of thieves attacked many Elf territories and stole numerous treasures.

"The fact that the Elf Clan didn’t start off hostile towards us speaks volumes about this species’ amicability.

"However, the previous humans sowed the seeds of distrust, and we must bear the consequences.

"Therefore, this escort mission is also a test.

"If I’m not mistaken, there should be a group of the Elf Clan’s elite following us.

"If we touch the Moon Well Spring Water, we will face pursuit from the Elf Clan.

"At that point, this Abyss Battlefield would be considered a failure.

"In short, remember one thing: we were summoned here to aid the Elf Clan, not to become their enemies.

"It is the basic logic of the World Will that summoned us here, and if we follow this objective, we will receive the rewards we deserve.

"As for those who want to take shortcuts, it must be done in a way that does not violate the meaning of our summons.

"From the perspective of civilizations, plundering the Moon Well Spring Water has no positive impact on resisting the Abyss.

"The Elf Clan has access to the Moon Well but have not been able to fend off the Abyss invasion.

"What could we change by plundering this batch of Moon Well Spring Water?

"I know, undoubtedly some of you are thinking that possessing the Moon Well Spring Water could make you stronger.

"But I will state it again, the Moon Well Spring Water must safely reach the Moonshadow Forest, anyone who touches it dies!"

The final word was spoken with extreme severity.

Everyone fell silent.

Tao Yalun, Wu Weibing, and the other nine, coming from a military background and accustomed to strict discipline, after hearing Lu Heng’s analysis, pledged their allegiance:

"We will follow orders and listen to the captain."

Rong Xincheng also quickly guaranteed his compliance, agreeing to follow Lu Heng’s directives.

Among the twenty people, Lu Heng could count on sixteen, meaning the real uncertainty only lay with the remaining four.

Monitoring four people with sixteen was not a difficult task.

Moreover, among the sixteen, over four were Perceivers.

Man-to-man surveillance was no issue, and if those four harbored any ill intentions, there was sufficient strength to control the situation.

Once everyone present had established in their minds the rule of not touching the Moon Well Spring Water, Lu Heng continued to add further information:

"Additionally, there are some potential scenarios we need to discuss.

"You’ve all experienced the Abyss Battlefield multiple times by now and should realize that the situation there gradually changes over time.

"This mission to escort the Moon Well Spring Water, aside from us, might also attract the attention of Abyss Summoners.

"In other words, it’s possible that Abyss Summoners might receive the task to attack our escort team.

"Hence, this escort mission requires us to stay vigilant against any Abyss Summoners or Demons that could appear at any moment.

"We can take this chance to complete our first Challenge Task."

This statement not only cut off the superpower users’ desire for the Moon Well Spring Water but also provided them a method to secure a reward.
