But suddenly, his steps suddenly stopped, and the smile on his lips quickly froze as he looked at the outline of a figure gradually emerging in the mist in front of him.

"Who's there?" Mu Yasi looked alert and shouted in a deep voice.

His body tensed, and he held his wand horizontally in front of him. There was a person hiding so close to him, and he didn't even sense it just now? Not surprisingly, this person's strength must have surpassed his own! "Excellent, wonderful, I just got here and saw a good show." Lei Te pushed aside a piece of half-man-high dead grass, walked out of the fog, and clapped his hands softly.

The crisp applause seemed particularly strange in the night and the poisonous fog! Mu Yasi's heart sank. The other party said this, it seemed that he had discovered the whole process just now, and he had to deal with it in a way.

So his mind raced, and he said quickly, "Sir, I'm sorry to have distracted you. I have collected a lot of valuables from killing several Level 4 Knights not long ago. I found a lot of valuables, and I put them in the Withered Vine Town. I would like to give them to you as a gift."

"It sounds good, but it's not necessary." Leiter shook his head and said, "Do many people in Dark Mountain know you?"

As soon as the question came out, Mu Yasi's eyes flickered and his brain began to work rapidly. Whether he could survive depended on whether the answer was satisfactory. He pondered the other party's intention in asking this question. Could it be that... there was a task for him to do? For example, some shameful things needed to be done by someone else, so he needed to find someone with a low-key identity... and his actions just now might have made the other party think that he was suitable for such a thing? He had an epiphany in his heart, and tentatively said: "Sir, I have been in the Dark Mountains for less than a year, and not many people know me."

"Is that so..." Lei Te nodded calmly: "In that case, you are useless."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Ya Si's expression changed drastically. The other party did not play according to the rules!

He wanted to change his words quickly, but at this moment, a spike broke through the soil and pierced the back door with lightning speed! The sound of flesh being torn apart rang out in the night, and before Mu Yasi could even scream, the vocal cords in his throat were pierced at the same time, and his life force was rapidly lost, leaving only a look of terror before death.

On the other side, Tarrou, who was lying on the ground, barely opened his eyes, a dazed look flashing in his eyes.

He must have heard correctly, right? The traitor Mu Yasi seemed to be begging for mercy and screaming? Now he couldn't even sense any breath.

Although Tarrou didn't understand the inside story, he smiled as if he had gotten his revenge. His worries were finally resolved, but he felt even more drowsy, and his eyelids seemed to be fighting each other.

Faintly, he heard a voice asking, "Do you know many people?"

"I have been in the Dark Mountains for more than ten years and have made many friends." Tarrou's voice was intermittent, but to be honest, he had indeed been here for a long time and had always been reliable, which earned him a lot of friendships. Now he could only hope that this strange visitor would save him.

So he struggled to open his mouth, but before he could utter a word for help, a big hand held his mouth, and then a potion was injected into him.

Tarrou was startled and subconsciously wanted to resist, but the familiar taste on his tongue made him recognize that it was the antidote to the long-sleeping potion, and he was immediately surprised! "Thank you...thank you." Tarrou said with all his strength.

The potion was found by Lei Te from Mu Yasi. He just said there was no antidote. It was complete nonsense! Lei Te just found a random reason to kill this evil person.

As the potion absorbed into his limbs and bones, Tarrou felt his physical condition rapidly improving. Gradually, he was even able to stand up and observe the situation in front of him.

He saw a man in a black windbreaker looking at him calmly. After confirming that it was a stranger, Tarrou said quickly: "Thank you for your help, sir!"

"You're welcome. You just said...you have been in the Dark Mountains for more than ten years?" Rhett asked.

"Yes, sir. Let me introduce myself. My name is Tarrou Robert. I'm a mercenary and adventurer, and a freelance extraordinary person." Tarrou felt that he was in control of his body more and more. He touched his chest and bowed, giving a solemn salute to Rhett.

Rhett nodded: "You can call me Rhett."

"I see, Mr. Leiter, you need help, don't you?" Tarrou asked. Although he was a simple man, it didn't mean he had a problem with his intelligence. He just didn't associate with evil. He was even experienced in dealing with people. The question he asked just now was quite straightforward. If he didn't need something, he wouldn't ask if he knew many people.

"There is something I need help with. I need you to come forward and help me collect some corpses of third-level monsters." Rhett said lightly.

"The corpses of third-level monsters... no problem! But how many do you need?" Tarru thought for a moment and said, "If you have a clear goal, it will be easier for me to determine how many people to send, so I can help you complete the task faster."

"Until I shout stop. But I have requirements for the corpse. It must be relatively complete. You can't just give me a pile of minced meat. And it can't have been dead for more than three days. These two points are indispensable!" Rhett thought about the shell's requirements for devouring creatures and added.

"This request is not difficult to fulfill. Where should I send the things?"

Lei Te was unfamiliar with the Dark Mountains, but after thinking about it, he said, "Let's go to Jinlai Peak."

"Jinlai Peak? No problem. There are rarely mid-level and above magical beasts there. Someone will definitely agree." Tarru nodded without mentioning the price at all.

But Lei Te immediately spoke up: "For each corpse of a third-level magical beast that meets the standards, I will give you ten gold coins."

"That's absolutely not possible! How can I take your gold coins?" Tarrou refused loudly, shaking his head like a rattle, and said, "You saved my life, and I can't thank you enough. How can I accept your things? Therefore, everything about the third-level monsters is entirely up to me!

I have some friends who help me with these things without asking for compensation. So you don’t need to worry about delaying your mission due to insufficient funds! ”

"No, this is an order. You keep the money. The mission will start in half a month." Lei Te was also very principled and said firmly. He estimated that it would take some time for the other party to rush back to the Dark Mountains and contact people, so half a month should be just right.

Looking at the heavy bag of gold coins, Tarrou was about to speak in a panic and return the gold coins. But Rhett did not give him a chance. His mental power turned into a pair of invisible hands, pressing him down, and then he left quickly.

Looking at his benefactor's back, Tarrou scratched his head and sighed, feeling rather unhappy. He quickened his pace and ran towards the Dark Mountains, deciding to contact some good friends as soon as he got back to help him hunt the third-level monsters in the mountains.

Rhett came a few kilometers away, where Tucker, Taylors, and Huo Ge were waiting for him.

"Father, what were you doing just now?"

"Nothing, just a little incident. Well, let's continue on our way." Rhett looked around and waved.

"No need, let's go directly to Jinlai Peak. I heard the scenery there is nice." Rhett said casually.

More than half a month passed quietly, and the winter sun was dry and bright.

The scenery of Jinlai Peak is indeed beautiful. The rocks are light golden all over, and some smooth stones even shimmer under the sunlight.

That day, Rhett looked at the pile of monster corpses in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

These are the results of the hunting of third-level monsters that he contacted Taru to help him find these days. Among them are some of the numbers hunted by Rhett himself, but they only account for a small part.

More than half a month ago, he asked Tarrou to help him find someone to hunt a third-level monster. The reason was actually very simple. On the way to the Huilu Kingdom, he took the time to use real simulation to try it out. The time it took for the shell artifact fragment to devour a third-level monster was basically five to ten minutes. According to this efficiency, the number of monsters that Leiter could devour with the artifact fragments in a whole day was about one hundred to three hundred.

If the artifact fragments had no requirements for the state of the creature, Leiter could have killed them slowly without any trouble or wasting gold coins. But he also discovered a problem - the artifact fragments did not necessarily devour any corpse! The same corpse, the time of death, the state, etc., would affect the final effect of the feedback. For example, devouring a mummy would basically have no effect.

Fortunately, after testing, Lei Te had a rough idea of ​​the range - the transformation effect of the corpses of creatures that died within three days was still within Lei Te's tolerance. But if it was more than three days, the final feedback effect would drop drastically. Considering the side effects after the feedback, Lei Te thought that the gain was not worth the loss, so he limited it to the corpses of monsters within three days to seek the maximum benefit.

The Dark Mountains are vast, and it is far from enough for Rhett to hunt enough artifact fragments in three days to satisfy the amount he consumes in a day during his simulated training.

In order to maximize the role of simulation and shells, it is necessary to find someone to help! "Father, what are you going to do with so many monsters?" Tucker sat on a boulder, looking at the corpses of monsters in front of him, and asked puzzledly.

"Could it be... a barbecue party? But we can't finish all the food..." Taylors was also confused, then looked at Tucker and said, "Even if Tucker has a big appetite, he can't do anything about these monsters, right?"

"Dick can finish it! Dick has a big appetite!" Dick, who was fearless like a newborn calf, was jumping and playing. He didn't understand what others were saying, but he still shouted in his childish voice.

"Haha, little guy, you probably don't know the amount of food. Even ten of your fathers can't finish it!" Thales joked.

"Enough, Thales, can you please stop using me as a unit of measurement?" Tucker complained dissatisfiedly.

At this moment, listening to the questions from his two sons and the jokes from his grandson, Rhett smiled slightly and was not in a hurry to respond.

I have secretly turned on the system in my heart.

[Do you want to start the real simulation? Each day of simulation consumes 1 point of destiny. ]

"Yes, simulate one day."

Buzz~ Ripples appear before my eyes.

Lei Te kept smiling, but turned around and said, "It's boring to have a barbecue with just a few people. Why can't we invite the extraordinary people in Ku Teng Town to have a barbecue together?"

"A grand party? Well, although I don't understand why you do this, father, as long as you are happy, it's fine." Taylors shrugged and said, "Do you need Tucker and me to help you promote it?"

"Of course, just take Dick with you. The little guy has been clamoring to go to the town for a while, and this is an opportunity." Rhett rubbed Dick's head as he ran to his side.

Not far away, Tucker jumped down from the boulder, came to Rhett, and lifted Dick onto his shoulders. "Let's go to the town of Withered Vine. I'll buy you some local specialties by the way."

"Hehehe." Dick grinned and clapped his hands, looking very happy.

After Tucker, Taylors and Dick left, Rhett was the only one left. And the area around him was empty. After he showed off his strength as a sixth-level magician, almost no one dared to approach him except for those extraordinary people who came to trade magic beasts.

After looking around for a few times, Rhett walked forward, put one foot on the body of a fire-maned dog, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Then, he took out the shell from the space ring. The shell was still shiny black, and the devouring power it conveyed made people feel faintly chilled, as if looking at it a few more times would absorb their souls.

"Let's start my devouring plan..." Rhett murmured.

Then he pressed the shell close to the fire-maned dog under his feet. At the moment the two touched, it was like a black hole, silently pulling and absorbing all the creatures it touched, as if swallowing them into another dimension. The fire-maned dog disappeared just like that.

Rhett, who was already familiar with this, remained calm and waited quietly there.

A few minutes passed, and the shell continued to tremble slightly, like a pot lid with steam rising from it, for much longer than the first time it swallowed the mouse.

Suddenly, the trembling stopped. Lei looked closely and saw a pure purple smoke floating out. Both its density and volume were far greater than the first time it swallowed the mouse.

Lei Te's expression was stern, and he took a deep breath. The purple smoke went into his nostrils and turned into a strange but pure energy that exploded in his body and flowed into every blood vessel and cell. At the same time, about half of the energy surged into his mind and penetrated in a strange way, like a cool mist rising and melting into the spiritual sea.

"Huh!" Rhett shivered, and an extreme sense of pleasure rose in his heart, but he restrained himself rationally and almost non-stop used the shell to face another magical beast, the Dark-Winged Flying Snake.

Afterwards, the Dark Winged Flying Snake was instantly absorbed by the shell. A few minutes later, while enduring the twisting pain in his body, Rhett looked at the smoke on the shell and opened his mouth to inhale it.

At this moment, the feeling of comfort and ecstasy reappeared, but the twisted pain brought by the first monster's feedback had not yet disappeared.
