Seeing the two of them fleeing in a disheveled state, and feeling exhausted from the hunt, Wang Lan initially didn't want to give chase. However, remembering that the target completion count for the "Bloodlust" skill was almost reached, she had an idea and decisively gave chase.
The two men staggered and ran for several dozen meters before Wang Lan caught up with them. Without further ado, Wang Lan slung the Vajra Umbrella over his shoulder and was about to swing it at their necks when two whooshing sounds came from either side.
Unexpectedly, two more people appeared, wielding bone knives, and slashed at Wang Lan.
Wang Lan immediately became alert, and with the Vajra Umbrella positioned horizontally as a barrier, a sound of metal clashing against metal rang out.
He could block one side, but not the other. His left arm was slashed by another person, and the bone knife left a bloody gash on his arm.
Wang Lan withdrew his hand and stepped back.
The two who had fled earlier also stopped. They turned and glared menacingly at Wang Lan.
"One, two, three, four!"
Wang Lan counted with a heavy heart, took a deep breath, and said, "Exactly four people!"
Take down all four of them to complete the objective and learn the "Bloodlust" skill!
The four exchanged glances, and the two holding bone knives were eager to try.
"Kid, we don't want to kill anyone, just give us what we hunted today..."
Wang Lan gripped the Vajra Umbrella tightly, his left arm taut as he suppressed the pain, and interrupted, "You've all come to my doorstep, so stop arguing. I know what your purpose is, so hurry up, I'm in a rush!"
The four of them were stunned for a moment. Seeing that communication was not working, they rushed towards Wang Lan together.
With the Vajra Umbrella draped over his shoulder once more, Wang Lan bent down and swept it forward as the four men charged at him.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
The bone knife snapped in two, tearing the tiger's mouth of the two men wielding it. The immense power of the Vajra Umbrella continued unabated, and the two unarmed men were immediately struck on the head by the Vajra Umbrella.

"Two more!"
Wang Lan immediately looked at the other two, who looked horrified and were about to run away.
But since he was already there, he might as well make the best of it. Wang Lan wasn't a soft-hearted person to begin with, and besides, killing the two of them would be a good way to complete his mission and learn new skills, so why not?
Thinking this, Wang Lan threw the Vajra Umbrella at one of the people, which pierced through the man's chest.
[Target Completion Rate: 99/100]
"ah!"
Seeing his companion die suddenly, the last survivor screamed and slowed his pace. Wang Lan caught up with him and kicked him to the ground.
"Ah! Please don't kill me!"
The man, his face filled with panic, shuffled backward while pleading, "I just want to live! I'll never do it again!"
Wang Lan, panting heavily, picked up the Vajra Umbrella, draped it over his shoulder, walked over, and stepped on the man's chest.
Thank you!
The man was taken aback. "Three what?"
Wang Lan: "My sister taught me."
The person exclaimed, "Huh???"
Then the Vajra Umbrella suddenly fell.
"puff!"
[Target Completion Rate: 100/100]
[Learned Skill: Bloodlust]
[Bloodlust Skill Description: "Life Steal," deals damage to enemies to repair the user's own damage.]

[Bloodthirst Skill Description: "Life Steal," deals damage to enemies to repair the user's own damage.]
Wang Lan frowned.
The skill descriptions for Blood Drink and Bloodlust are actually the same?
Wang Lan didn't understand what she heard, but she didn't think about it too much. After all, it wasn't safe for Sun Muchen to be alone in the house, so she dragged her bleeding arm back.
The pain from the wound was bearable, but the bleeding wouldn't stop.
Wang Lan didn't want Sun Muchen to worry, nor did she want to talk to her about fighting and killing, so she went to the river to wash herself quickly.
He crouched down, scooped up river water, and splashed it on his arm. The pain made him hiss and gasp for breath. The blood flowed back into the river, and the stench of blood spread, immediately attracting the mutated river fish, which came in droves.
Looking at the boiling river water, Wang Lan knew that the fish in the water were man-eating monsters, so he hurriedly stood up and cursed himself for being too careless.
But suddenly a thought struck him: he remembered the skill he had just learned, "Bloodlust!"
So he picked up the Vajra Umbrella and plunged into the river.
When pulled out, the golden umbrella turned into a candied hawthorn skewer, with more than a dozen plump river fish hanging on it.
My left arm wound is itchy.
Wang Lan looked down and saw that the wound had scabbed over. He reached out and tore off a piece, revealing new tender flesh growing underneath.
Wang Lan was overjoyed, thinking to herself that this skill was really useful. She grabbed the Vajra Umbrella and ran home, wanting to share the good news with Sun Muchen.
But as soon as he entered, Sun Muchen rushed over and hugged him tightly, asking worriedly, "Brother, how are you? Is anyone there? Are you alright?"
Wang Lan was touched, but the words she was about to say changed as she said, "It's nothing, look at me, I'm full of energy!"
After saying that, he raised the Vajra Umbrella and laughed, "Besides, there's no one around, just a few big rats. I just went fishing, and I happen to have some bird leg meat. How about you make me a 'Bird and Fish Soup'?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Muchen chuckled, "I know, it's from the ancient book, The Deer and the Cauldron!"
Wang Lan nodded, handed the Vajra Umbrella to Sun Muchen, and urged, "Go quickly, I'm starving."
Sun Muchen took the Golden Umbrella, confirmed that Wang Lan was alright, and skipped into the inner kitchen.
The smile on Wang Lan's face gradually disappeared...
He sighed heavily.
Looking outside, at the world illuminated by the dim yellow lights of the fortress.
Starting a week ago, an increasing number of people have been plotting murder and robbery…
They were clearly getting impatient...
Eternal Night…
It's almost here...
