"Yes, I was originally level 30, but now I'm only level 29."
"Damn it, what's going on? Wasn't it said that there would be no punishment for dying in Qinling Mountain and Sea? Why did I lose a level?"
"Are you an idiot? There was no punishment to begin with. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine."
The crowd found the sight of Crimson Flame Burning the Sky somewhat amusing, with Aoshi Tianxia even making sarcastic remarks.
"Wait, damn it, I've lost a level too." Seeing the tragic state of Crimson Flame Burning the Sky, the Undying War Soul suddenly realized that his hands were empty. Looking down, he saw that he had no weapon in his hand either.
A bad feeling came over him, and the Undying War Soul quickly checked its level, only to find that it had also lost a level.
"Guild Leader Changfeng, your level has dropped too!"
"What? My level dropped too?" Upon hearing this, Juyi Changfeng's eyes widened, and he hurriedly looked at his own level.
Upon seeing this, Juyi Changfeng was also dumbfounded. "Damn, what's going on? How did I drop a level too?"
"What? I've lost a level? Does this map really have a death penalty? No, I need to check my level."
"Huh, no, I didn't lose a level."
"Yeah, I didn't lose a level either. Damn, no, I lost 30% of my experience points."
"Me too, I also lost 30% of my experience points."
"What? I didn't lose anything."
Members from all eight guilds checked their levels.
However, aside from Crimson Flame Burning the Sky, Gathering Righteousness in the Long Wind, and Undying Battle Soul dropping one level, these skills have all dropped.
Aside from a small number of people losing experience points, everyone else experienced no abnormalities.
"Damn it, why is this happening? Is there a bug in the system? No, I need to report this, I have to report it."
Those who lost experience points were all yelling and demanding to report it to the official team.
Even those who had nothing to do with it thought it was a system bug and secretly rejoiced at their good luck...
Meanwhile, our instigator, Wang Ming, is currently killing Dark Poison Scorpion.
"System notification: You have killed the level 35 Earth-rank boss Dark Poison Scorpion, gaining experience and additional experience."
"System notification: Congratulations, your level has increased to 32. You have gained 160 health points, 80 mana points, 5 free attribute points, and 3 soul power points."
"System notification: You have received 58 gold coins, 72 silver coins, 1000 merit points, and an additional 2500 merit points."

"System notification: Your cultivation technique - Soul Devouring has been successfully activated, gaining 2 skill points and 1 luck point."
"System notification: Your pet has gained experience."

"System notification: Your pet Hellhound has recovered to Qi Refining Realm Level 0, with HP increased by 20% and MP increased by 10%."
"System notification: Your pet Cerberus has learned a new skill - Rain of Corruption".
......
"Level 20! I wonder how your stats are?" Wang Ming looked at the Cerberus's stats, then a look of delight appeared on his face.
"The growth rate of celestial beasts far surpasses that of sacred beasts."
"The six-headed creature is only level 20, but its attributes have already caught up with the level 30 three-headed creature."
"Most importantly, our defense and movement speed have also increased, so we can head to the obsidian mine now."
Wang Ming picked up the boss's loot, then rode the six-headed beast toward the obsidian mine.
Two hours later, following the coordinates, Wang Ming arrived at a large black mountain.
This black mountain is over 100 meters high.
There were no plants on the mountain, yet black mist was rising from it, which looked very eerie.
"This should be the place, but Jia Bujia said that this obsidian deposit is an underground mine, and we still need to find the entrance."
Wang Ming recalled the six-headed hellhound and carefully searched around the black mountain.
Fifteen minutes later, Wang Ming found a dark cave entrance.
The cave entrance emitted even denser black smoke, obscuring the view inside.
Outside the cave entrance, a squad of 10 NPCs were guarding it.
Night City Lord's Personal Guard
Level: 40
Realm: Foundation Establishment Level 10
life:
Attack: 890
Defense: 534
Description: A personal guard of the Lord of Night City, tasked with protecting the obsidian mine.
“These people are the city lord’s personal guards. That cave must be an obsidian mine.”
"However, with guards stationed there, how am I supposed to get in?"
"They are NPCs. I'll give them some money, but I don't know if that will get them in."
"If that doesn't work, then we'll have to..." Wang Ming looked at the red names above the NPCs' heads, a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Halt! Who are you?" As soon as Wang Ming approached the cave entrance, the guards in the distance spotted him.
The entire NPC squad stepped forward and pointed their spears at Wang Ming.
"Don't do it, don't do it, I am an adventurer from Daylight City."
"An adventurer? You mean you're an Adventurer?"
"Yes, yes, I am the Descendant."
"I came here to kill monsters, but I lost my way and stumbled here by accident."
"In that case, leave this place immediately. You are not welcome here, and people from Daylight City are even less welcome here."
"Don't be like that, brother. It's fate that I'm here."
"Moreover, I see that the black hole over there is filled with demonic energy, so there must be a great demon inside."
"We, the Descendants, are here specifically to slay demons and monsters."
"Hehe, how about this? Let me in, and I'll help you kill the demons." Wang Ming slowly approached the guard who was speaking, took out 100 gold coins, and handed them to him.
"Hmph, what are you doing, daring to openly offer bribes?"
"You don't seem like a good person to me. You're probably a spy from Daylight City."
The guard refused the gold coins and instead berated Wang Ming, which gave Wang Ming a sudden toothache.
"How dare you! Do you see this clearly?"
“I am a general, a fifth-rank general. How dare you lowly soldiers treat me like this?”
"Put down your weapon and let me through."
"So what if you're a general? We only obey the orders of the Lord of Night City and the young lord."
"If you dare to move again, you will be killed without mercy."
Wang Ming was truly speechless.
These NPCs were unresponsive to both soft and hard tactics, and since he wasn't sure if he would go to Night City, he was unwilling to take action against them unless absolutely necessary.
"Hmph, follow me to kill this scoundrel!" Seeing that Wang Ming was unwilling to leave, the guard roared and then attacked Wang Ming.
"Hey, you forced me to do this, so don't blame me."
