"Sky-Piercing Fist!"

Wang Ming attacked the NPC in front of him before he could act, and the NPC, with only 20,000 health points, was killed by Wang Ming with just one punch.

"System notification: You have obtained 1 point of Daylight City faction points."

"Uh, faction points, what's this?"

"How dare you!"

"Kill!" The remaining guards shouted as they saw Wang Ming kill their comrades, thrusting their spears at him, only to be killed by Wang Ming himself.

"System notification: You have obtained 1 point of Daylight City faction points."

"System notification: You have obtained 1 point of Daylight City faction points."

...

"This isn't my fault, you were the ones who wanted to kill me." Ignoring the remaining people, Wang Ming jumped out of the encirclement and headed straight for the cave entrance.

"Not good, stop him!" The remaining guards saw Wang Ming rushing towards the cave entrance and quickly chased after him, but Wang Ming was too fast and disappeared into the cave entrance in the blink of an eye.

"stop!"

"Damn it, he went into the underground mine."

"What should we do? Without the orders of the city lord and the young city lord, we cannot enter the mine without permission."

"No, you all stay here and guard the city. I'll go report to the young city lord."

"good."

"System notification: You have entered the hidden map - Obsidian Mine Level 1. Please proceed with caution."

"This obsidian mine is actually a hidden map! Hehe, that's great! The rewards in a hidden map are much higher than outside. Now I can search for obsidian mines and grind monsters at the same time, killing two birds with one stone."

"But why didn't those guards come in? Never mind, the obsidian is more important. It's actually more convenient without these people interfering."

Wang Ming summoned Hellhound and advanced deeper into the mine tunnel.

Finally, after passing through the dark mine tunnels and many narrow passages, Wang Ming arrived at a mine shaft with some light.

The mine's floor and walls were inlaid with several crystal pillars that emitted a black luster. The light in the mine came from these crystals, and a thick black mist floated above the mine. There was nothing else there.

"Obsidian mine, I've finally found you."

"Six Heads, be on guard."

Wang Ming took out an iron hoe and began digging. The clanging sound echoed continuously in the mine. Wang Ming successfully obtained a piece of obsidian ore.

Obsidian

Grade: Rank 4

Quality: 53

Description: A specialty of the Obsidian Mine in Night City, it is the raw material for refining obsidian.

"We finally got our hands on the obsidian mine." Wang Ming turned around and came to another obsidian mine.

Wang Ming bent down to start mining, but a burst of lava breath exploded behind him. Startled by the sudden turn of events, Wang Ming did a forward roll and looked warily toward the source of the explosion.

Where Wang Ming had just been standing, several monsters shrouded in black mist lay sprawled on the ground, their bodies still bearing traces of lava power. Apart from their emerald green eyes, they were completely unrecognizable.

"System notification: Your pet has killed the mutated bat and gained 1800 experience points."

"System notification: Due to being asleep at night, you have gained 1800 experience points, 6 merit points, and an additional 15 merit points."

"System notification: Your cultivation technique, Soul Devouring, has been successfully activated. You have gained 1 free attribute point."

"System notification: Your cultivation technique, Soul Devouring, has been successfully activated. You have gained 1 point of Gold Attribute Enhancement."

"System notification: Your skill 'Spirit Devouring' has been successfully activated, and you have gained 1 skill point."

......

"Demonized bat, Six-Headed Hellhound did a great job." Hearing Wang Ming's praise, Hellhound didn't run towards Wang Ming as usual, but instead raised its six heads and looked up uneasily.

"Hmm?" Wang Ming noticed the abnormality of the six heads, looked up at the cave ceiling, and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

On the ceiling of the mine, countless black monsters hung upside down, their bodies emitting black smoke. Their pairs of emerald green eyes opened one after another, just like the monsters that had been killed six times.

......

"Damn, so the black mist above us was these guys. Could it be that the attack by the six just now woke them up, or was it caused by the noise from my mining?"

This horde of demonic bats was a huge, dark mass, including two yellow-tier boss-level creatures.

After opening their eyes, they flapped their bat wings and hovered in the air.

"Heh~"

Some of these mutated bats charged directly at Wang Ming and Hellhound, while others hovered in the air, emitting piercing screams.

"System notification: You have been attacked by a demonized bat, HP -60."

"System notification: You have been attacked by the ultrasonic shock of the demonized bat, HP -90, HP -90."

"System notification: You have been attacked by the ultrasonic shock of a mutated demon bat. HP-242, HP-242, HP-242."

"System notification: You have been attacked by the supersonic shockwave of the Demonized Bat King. HP-624, HP-624, HP-624, HP-624, HP-624."

...

This ultrasonic attack is a multi-stage damage skill. There were many demonic bats rushing up, and even though Wang Ming punched them, he only killed some of the demonic bats in front of him.

Wang Ming's health dropped by more than 10,000 points instantly under the attack of the swarm of demonized bats.

The six-headed hellhound fared even worse. It was only level 20 and couldn't wear the full set of pet equipment that the three-headed hellhound had previously equipped. As a result, its defense and health were not high. When faced with the attack of the demonic bats, it was almost killed by the monster horde in an instant.

Fortunately, Wang Ming reacted quickly and forcibly recalled the Hellhound back to its pet space when it was at the last sliver of health.

"Phantom Fist!"

After swallowing a high-grade blood-coagulation pill, Wang Ming threw a punch at the swarm of demonic bats, instantly killing a large number of them.

Wang Ming's health also recovered thanks to the blood-sucking effect.

"Heh~" The two yellow-tier bosses screamed when they saw Wang Ming easily kill their kind. The demonic bats that were originally rushing towards Wang Ming all circled around him and stopped getting close. Then, all the demonic bats in the mine launched the Ultrasonic Impact skill in the air.

In just a moment, Wang Ming's health dropped by more than 10,000 points again.

"Damn it, what's wrong with these guys? Elite monsters and bosses are one thing, but why do ordinary monsters also have this ultrasonic attack skill?"

The swarm of demonic bats hovered in the air, and Wang Ming's melee attacks were ineffective against them. He had no choice but to take out darts and shoot them at the demonic bats. Ten darts were fired at once, and several demonic bats were hit by the darts and fell to the ground.

However, there were too many of these demonic bats, and Wang Ming's dart attacks could not trigger the life-steal effect of the Chaos Origin Gauntlets. His overall health was constantly decreasing under the attacks of the demonic bats.

"No, if this continues, I'm afraid I'll die here."

"But if we want to mine obsidian, we have to kill these mutated bats first." Wang Ming dodged left and right, observing the environment of the mine.

"Hmm? There it is...!"
