A dilapidated stone archway separates the core area from the outskirts of the civilian district, creating two completely different worlds just beyond the gate.

"Once inside, do not fight monsters unless there are special circumstances."

Su Bai gave the instructions.

at the same time.

He distributed the supplies he had prepared in advance to the group of people.

The healing artifact is very useful for clearing negative influences, and he prepared one for everyone. In addition, there were the usual three items: sanity medicine, hemostatic medicine, and antidote medicine. Furthermore, each person also received a set of blood-activating medicine.

"Wow, this is good stuff! Isn't this potion from the Pearl and Treasure Pavilion? They're selling it like crazy outside, a bottle can sell for over twenty silver!"

Everyone gasped in surprise.

Then one has to admire Su Bai's generosity.

A bottle costs over twenty silver dollars, and it's a potion that even many wealthy bosses can't get their hands on, yet he casually gives everyone a set.

The maximum stack size for consumable potions is 99 units.

One set of potions costs 20 gold!

It's no wonder that blood-activating potions are so expensive on the market. At this stage, potions with a treatment dose of over 1,000 are extremely expensive, especially instant-recovery potions. These things can save lives in critical moments, and a life is certainly worth more than a mere 20 silver coins.

The blood-activating medicines that Shen Wansan gave to Su Bai were all top-grade and had excellent effects.

...

"Don't be stingy with your healing. This boss's area-of-effect attacks deal massive damage, and I might not be able to keep you alive."

Su Bai gave instructions.

As they were talking.

The team has entered the core area.

Passing through the archway, one immediately feels that the surrounding environment has become much quieter, as if even the roars of monsters in the outer area have been blocked out.

The atmosphere of the entire environment was eerily quiet.

'The executioner usually roams this area; if you don't actively fight or make noise to lure it out, finding it is quite difficult.'

'However, there is one place it will definitely go...'

The thought flashed through my mind.

Su Bai led the group through the quiet streets, experiencing many strange events. The most bizarre one was when several monsters walked right past them, yet the two groups seemed to ignore each other and remain completely detached.

"Staying here for too long is making me feel a bit creeped out..."

Nine Lives said, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

"This is nothing."

Ning Hongchen smiled dismissively.

She recalled the last time Su Bai brought her here; that operation was so bizarre and strange that it raised her mental tolerance threshold to a whole new level.

The closer you get to the center of the core area, the dimmer the surrounding light becomes.

In the end.

The entire neighborhood was shrouded in complete darkness.

The torches held up by the crowd could barely illuminate the surrounding area, and the old houses standing in the darkness gave off a silent sense of terror.

We then crossed a fairly wide street.

Ahead,

A fairly spacious square appeared.

On both sides of the square were simple stalls made of tarpaulins, densely connected to each other. On the stalls, dusty debris and some rotten fruits and vegetables could be seen. Behind the stalls were a few shops with faded signs, with words such as "rice, flour and cooking oil" and "cloth shop" still faintly visible.

This is a farmers' market.

Unlike the bustling trade market in the center of the neighborhood, this market was small and barren, exuding an air of poverty.

In the very center of the market stood a wooden platform upon which rested a towering guillotine. The thick axe was stained with blood, the rope binding it had turned a deep black, and the blade was riddled with jagged, broken teeth, a testament to the countless heads it had severed.

Splash...

Splash...

A soft clanging of chains came from the platform.

Beyond the firelight, a tall, dark figure could be seen standing behind the guillotine, its hands gripping the bearings, slowly raising the guillotine to the top.

"It really was here..."

Su Bai said softly.

This execution ground, set up inside the vegetable market, is where the executioner can exert his strongest abilities.

But at the same time.

That's also the best place to deal with it.

"In the first phase, it will have a wide-range slashing ability that will cause everyone to rip and bleed continuously. Use the holy artifact to heal if possible, and take medicine if you can't withstand it. I may not be able to take care of you all."

"The second phase is the most important to pay attention to."

"At the start of the second phase, it will randomly call out names. Those who are called out will be forced to go to the guillotine. At this time, two people must go to rescue them: one to untie the ropes and the other to pull the mechanism."

"If the rescue fails, the person named will be executed immediately."

Su Bai emphasized this point.

Because most monsters' targeted skills will target the player with the highest damage output besides the main tank, and there's a high probability that they'll be the first target in the first round.

If the rescue efforts are not timely.

He must die.

And unsurprisingly, the group will be wiped out at that time.

"After it reaches half health, it will summon two elite monsters, one scythe-wielding man and one axe-wielding man. You should use all your crowd control skills on the scythe-wielding man, as it deals high damage and can easily kill the tank. I will handle the axe-wielding man."

After Su Bai finished explaining each rule, he would wait for everyone to digest it for a while.

It's not difficult just by reading the guide.

The difficult part is always the actual operation process.
