With the entertainment district undergoing a major overhaul, it was unusual for the district to remain closed that night.
Many idle adventurers choose to spend their time either at home or in hotels.
The lights of the World Society dimmed considerably.
This had nothing to do with Liu Nian. He was inexplicably disturbed by a group of people who called themselves Young Master Zhu's subordinates. He originally planned to find him after changing jobs, but he ended up meeting him on the way.
After dealing with them along the way, I saw through the crow's eyes that the young city lord named He Xi had actually broken into the heavily guarded residence by himself.
Later, I learned from others that it was Zhu Shao's lair.
The younger generation is truly formidable. Well, it's good that Liu Nianle is enjoying his leisure time.
He regained consciousness and returned to the Adventurers' Hall to accept a quest, preparing to begin a new adventure.
Another zombie horde is coming soon, so we should increase our strength as much as we can.
Moreover, the person ranked first is right here. Although he spoke casually, he still had the idea of competing with him.
Without the strength, he might have given up, but now with the addition of vampires and Dark Templars, he has awakened a beast called ambition.
The lobby was quiet. Liu Nian took three steps at a time and walked to the customer service representative.
After some searching, I accepted a task to give out item cards.
Slay: Devilsaur (D-rank quest) (team quest)
Mission Rewards: 600 experience points, two item cards, 400 crowns, and 50 mercenary points.
Mission failed: Mercenary points reduced by 40.
Equipment cards and skill cards are rarely obtained from missions, so accumulating items is crucial for Liu Nian. Using items well can sometimes save his life.
After accepting the mission, find Sun Buhuan in the market area. As expected, his potions have sold out early again. He is waiting there for someone to sell various materials.
I went up to him to order some life potions, but I didn't expect to get the following reply.
"No, first come, first served!" Sun Buhuan said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
Looking at the back of her head directly in front of her, Liu Nian could only give a helpless bitter smile.
In his words, if he doesn't want to be a leader, no one can lead him!
Well! There's nothing we can do about this guy!
With the matter unresolved, Liu Nian could only leave with regret.
I went to the hotel a while ago to retrieve the motorcycle, and walked all the way to the city gate, which was much quieter now.
The bloodstains on the ground have been covered up, and the guard post is now sealed off. It's unknown when it will reopen.
Ignoring all that, I handed over the badge as usual. The other person glanced at it, a hint of surprise flashing in their eyes, but still waved me through.
The defenses this time were very strong and well-equipped.
Moreover, Liu Nian could smell a faint metallic rust on them.
After successfully leaving the city, I hurried along the map, the surrounding objects rushing past until they disappeared from sight.
Liu Nian was a little puzzled that he did not encounter any more Night Demons before reaching his destination.
It's already dark, where have they all gone?
Isn't it great to have a lone adventurer here?
At least I can gain some experience points, and I wouldn't mind taking care of these nocturnal creatures while I'm at it.
The target was around the lake in the center of the forest. After lighting the torches he had bought, Liu Nian put the motorcycle into his spatial storage and headed deeper into the forest.
Visibility was extremely low at night, especially in the forest; one could only see about a meter away.
Every now and then, my feet would step on the crisp, dry branches, making a crackling sound.
However, the trees in the forest blocked the summoned army, and the overall formation was disrupted by the dense trees.
The large swarm of summoned creatures surrounding them deterred other monsters in the forest from approaching easily.
Unless Liu Nian accidentally stumbles into their lair, they are unwilling to cause him any trouble.
At this moment, Liu Nian was guarded by two Dark Templar warriors on his left and right. Vampires and wraiths were wandering around in the distance. Above the forest, Big Black and his henchmen were patrolling back and forth, trying to find a shortcut.
After walking for a while, Big Black gave a signal.
Signals that have been found!
The dark and damp environment had already made Liu Nian somewhat irritable, but upon hearing this signal, Liu Nian's spirits lifted.
I don't know how long we walked, but after parting a leaf, we found ourselves in front of a patch of green grass.
I carefully stepped onto the grass, the grass only covering my shoes.
"It's not very deep," Liu Nian thought.
He stuck the torch into a branch behind him and lit a campfire under the tree.
The rest of the time was rather boring; all I could do was wait.
Jiang Taigong fished, and those who were willing took the bait!
If it were daytime, Liu Nian might have gone out to search, but now that it's dark, he might as well just give up!
Running around aimlessly, who knows what unknown creatures you might bump into?
What if that Devilsaur has the same idea?
Liu Nian was startled by the sudden thought.
Surely not?
You can't be so irresponsible!
Liu Nian prayed to all the gods and Buddhas.
Moonlight shone through the large gaps in the sky above the lake, giving it an ethereal feel.
Occasionally, some indistinct creatures would secretly drink water from a distance across the lake.
I wonder if there's a ceasefire agreement by the lake?
Liu Nian let her thoughts wander freely.
When people have free time, they tend to overthink; it's instinctive.
Suddenly, a ripple appeared on the lake, and the grass seemed to vibrate.
As the tremors became more pronounced, the creatures drinking water by the lake were frightened and scattered.
There must be a dominant creature coming; I wonder if it's the one I'm waiting for.
The branches on the opposite side rustled and shook, and then a giant beast emerged from the other side of the lake.
Could this be the monster that's as tall as a tree whose age is impossible to tell?
Liu Nian felt a little apprehensive; this was simply too enormous.
As usual, it's an information gathering activity.
If there's no news, then the unfortunate news is that this monster is over level 16.
The advantage is that the name has been revealed, and it is the person Liu Nian is looking for.
What the hell is this luck!
Command the three bone archers to begin firing; the battlefield is the grassy area by the lake.
The forest is not a good place to command a large army of summoned creatures.
The bone arrow struck the tyrannosaurus and bounced off without even piercing its fur.
However, this successfully enraged the Devilsaur, which strode towards Liu Nian.
After a violent earthquake, the Devilsaur crushed the skeletons that tried to block its way with one foot and continued walking towards Liu Nian.
The skeleton soldiers, even with the level 3 Skeleton Mastery buff, couldn't even slightly hinder the Devilsaur, which raised Liu Nian's vigilance to the highest level.
The amplifying damage curse was immediately cast on the Devilsaur.
On a dark and windy night
Outside the Tianxiahui (World Society) mass grave, some people were diligently wielding hoes to turn over new graves.
Every now and then someone would say something, which, from a distance, sounded like: "A horde of corpses... a bishop... a sacrifice... a ritual."
The wind lifted a person's veil, and the moon peeked out from behind the clouds, making the Eye of Truth tattoo on the forehead stand out.
