Earthbound Spirit.

It is a vengeful spirit formed from unfulfilled wishes in life or from dying with hatred.

They will be confined to a specific area and will never be able to break free.

Spring Day Valley at night is such a specific area.

However, even among Earthbound Spirit.

Druids are also among the most special kind.

During the day.

Outsiders could not detect anything unusual, and even the druids might not know that they were actually already dead.

They will act according to their instincts from when they were alive.

Only at night.

Only then will they completely lose their minds and transform into vicious vengeful spirits.

even so.

They maintained a high degree of self-control.

Otherwise, as a living person, it would be impossible for Qin to have lived in Spring Day Valley for so many years and still be alive and kicking.

Roger felt a surge of respect for her.

By the window of the wooden house.

The hand, covered in lividity, stiffly closed the window.

She moved very carefully.

They were afraid of waking the sleeping girl.

This action is accompanied by...

The howling wind in the valley grew even stronger.

"Sixth Sense: You sense Lan's emotions; she is currently experiencing intense pain, repression, and inner turmoil..."

She longed for someone to end it all.

The next moment.

Roger relaxed his inhibition of perception.

In a short while.

A wave of grief, like a tsunami, washed over him.

He heard the entire Spring Day Valley Weeping!

If the crying he heard during the day was just a light drizzle...

Now.

He felt as if he were in the middle of a stormy sea!

Amidst waves of outpourings.

Roger heard a lot of useful information.

He felt as if he had returned to that night decades ago—

A shooting star streaked across the sky.

It crashed into a corner of Spring Day Valley.

Under the protection of the Child of Green Light, the druids escaped unharmed.

Out of caution, they did not touch the alien object that day.

But very quickly.

A terrifying anomaly swept through the entire Spring Day Valley.

A pair of cold, pupil-less eyes appeared against the sky above the valley.

The Child of Green Light began to wither rapidly.

All creatures in the valley died within ten breaths, transforming into Earthbound Spirit.

The only survivor was a little girl playing outside the valley.

Her eyes were bright at that moment.

Just because I looked up.

She was then permanently deprived of her sight!

"That meteor from decades ago should be the Drop Pod I'm looking for."

"But what about those eyes? In the Navigation Log, the Captain said he was being watched by some huge thing. Is that what it is?"

"I feel like I've seen this somewhere before..."

Roger's heart skipped a beat.

He remembered! The Marshland Refugees, Hanfulan's big house, and that strange, vanished idol—

It's that God of Tainted Blood!

"Able to instantly unleash the 11th Ring Spell ' Great Life Deprivation,' this isn't some nameless evil god!"

Roger felt a chill run down his spine.

Based on the information he currently has.

The druids of Spring Day Valley were just caught in the crossfire.

The true target of the God of Tainted Blood is that Drop Pod! "What exactly is inside the Drop Pod?"

Roger became increasingly curious.

Sixth Sense tells me.

Compared to decades ago.

The scent of evil spirits in Spring Day Valley has completely disappeared.

This means that the God of Tainted Blood has long since stopped paying attention to this place.

"Moreover, judging from his performance in the last battle against Hanfulan, the God of Tainted Blood seems to have become much weaker over the past few decades."

"A ' Saintly Spirit Manifestation ' of that magnitude, capable of destroying Spring Day Valley, would most likely have severely weakened him."

"If I make a move now, it will most likely be safe."

Calmly analyze the cause and effect.

Roger slowly untied the coffin behind him and tossed it to the gargoyle beside him.

Then he leaped! Target.

That withered, towering tree!...

"The Cursed Child of Green Light (Aberrant Nature Spirit/Lord)"

The wind howled past Roger's ears.

A moment later.

He landed nimbly on the branches of the giant tree.

A chilling, Negative Energy washed over him.

Immune to all! Roger replied without hesitation.

He pulled out the Red Moon and unleashed a flurry of attacks! He executed the Moon's Splendor's moves with fluid grace.

His knife strikes became faster and faster.

The giant tree was enraged.

It roared and waved its branches, trying to bind Roger.

But Roger's perception was incredibly powerful.

While calmly dodging.

He continued to wield his knife relentlessly!

On the surface.

Roger seems to have made a foolish mistake.

But in fact, his actions were very restrained.

Every contact between the blade and the tree was brief and precise, stopping immediately upon triggering a damage calculation.

He's using this tree to Blade Intent! Very quickly.

The Blade Intent on the Red Moon had accumulated to more than 20 layers.

And this was accompanied by Roger's relentless attacks.

All the Earthbound Spirit in Spring Day Valley were summoned by the giant tree.

They gathered under the tree like a tide, letting out mournful howls at Roger.

The time was ripe.

Roger leaped high into the air with a Uproot from Dry Land! The color of the Red Moon in his hand changed three times in a second! From the initial bright red formed by the accumulation of Blade Intent.

The dark red color that appears when the Eye Cut are activated and the Blade Intent is unleashed.

And finally, the dazzling orange-red—

As the crescent moon slowly rises.

The Crimson Moon Blade suddenly swelled.

The orange-red metal blade instantly extended to nearly 20 meters.

The remaining portion was an even more dazzling, blazing sword aura!...

"Special Skill: Prairie Fire!"...

"Movement: Crescent Moon Seven Folds!"...

The instant Roger landed.

These two powerful abilities are combined into one.

He swung his forty-meter-long Red Moon at the army of Earthbound Spirit, unleashing six circular slashes at different angles every 0.4 seconds! In the night of Spring Day Valley.

A flash of light, like the rising sun, streaked past.

All the Earthbound Spirit silently turned to ashes!...

"You have killed 1 Earthbound Spirit, bringing your total number of Earthbound Spirit killed to 139."

You have gained 16 XP points.

"You did not use the Sin Mark, therefore you cannot gain any additional benefits."

"You killed the Cursed Child of Green Light."

You have gained 69 XP points.

"You did not use the Extermination Order, therefore you cannot obtain any additional benefits."

This was the first time Roger had acted without a mark or Extermination Order.

I can't really explain why.

Perhaps it was simply out of a little bit of respect.

"You gave up extra benefits because of your emotions, thus fulfilling the code of Hidden Hero for the first time: Compassion."

"Compassion: Your Xia Yin Value +500; your ' Charge Up Power' ability increased to 125%"

"This... this is because I killed too many people in the past?"

Roger scratched his head.

Immediately afterwards.

A series of new messages appeared on the data panel.

"You have resolved the Spring Day Valley anomaly."

Upon successfully resolving the first 'Strange Tales' level incident, you unlocked a new module – the Chronicles of Encounters.

Subdirectories are being added...

"Observations: Life is a solitary journey. There are always beautiful views ahead, but don't forget to look back at the path you've traveled."

Table of Contents: The Boy in Cave P1

P2 Red Tide Corpse Queen P3 One Slash for Ten Years...

P35 Spring Sun Valley Story

Roger opened the travelogue and turned to the first page.

It was an interface similar to a photo album.

In the first photo.

A boy with his face painted in ridiculous camouflage, lying between slippery rocks, was staring intently ahead.

There.

A cunning Magic Explosion Frog is hunting.

The boy held a rusty dagger in each hand, looking eager to try.

Roger felt a mix of laughter and tears.

That was thirteen years ago.

At that time, he had just discovered the type of the Magic Explosion Frog and his mind was filled with the idea that it was invincible.

The result of this attack was, of course, a crushing defeat.

Memories began to surface little by little.

Roger flipped through the pages one by one.

He quickly turned to the last page.

In that photo titled "Spring Sun Valley Story".

It was the zither under the setting sun that waved goodbye to him.

Behind her was a vast sea of violets and a solitary windmill.

There is also the peaceful and serene Spring Day Valley at dusk.

"You've read through the travelogue for the first time."

"You have gained 100 XP points"

Your comprehension +1

Tip: Occasionally flipping through your travelogue might bring you some pleasant surprises.

Roger breathed a sigh of relief.

I came to my senses.

The ground was covered with Echo Orb.

Not far away.

A stunningly beautiful spirit was smiling at him.

That's Lan.

Roger walked over.

The other party vanished from the spot in an instant.

However, she soon appeared in another place where Roger could see her.

Roger's heart skipped a beat.

Following the guidance of Lan's lingering spirit.

He dug out a wooden box that emitted a faint fragrance in the flower field near the windmill.

Open the box.

Inside was a thick book.

"You have obtained ' Medicine and Poison: 2020'"

After acquiring the books.

Lan, who was smiling to the side, turned into fragments and disappeared completely like the others.

Roger put away the book and quickly went to the outside of the wooden house.

Despite being separated by a wooden wall.

He could also sense that the girl was convulsing and crying.

Push open the door.

Roger sat down on the edge of the bed.

"You should have expected this day to come."

He sighed softly.

He reached out his hand.

The blanket was soaked.

The girl, curled up in a ball, choked out, "Of course I knew this day would come..."

"I just can't see, it's not like I can't smell or hear!"

"Grandma was very careful. She thought I hadn't noticed, so I pretended not to notice... Waaah..."

"Later, when they tried to kick me out, they started making things up... Waaah... The Sea of Green Light doesn't have those kinds of rules! Like you said, it's completely unreasonable..."

"But I still have no choice but to cooperate with them."

"I miss my grandma so much..."

Qin became more and more heartbroken as she spoke.

Large tears streamed down her face.

Roger gently stroked her head.

It's like comforting a wounded bear cub.

She cried with particular fervor.

It's like a newborn baby squeezing its lungs with all its might.

Roger maintained his rhythmic movements.

A tiny bit of air seeped into the skin on the back of her neck.

Qin's movements went from being horrific at first to sobbing uncontrollably, and finally, to occasionally letting out a soft snore.

"Finally fell asleep."

Roger got up to leave, but found that the girl was clinging tightly to his thigh.

He thought about it.

I simply took out "Medicine and Poison" and started reading.

"Tip: Your focus is insufficient to read ' Medicine and Poison '."

Roger was not worried but happy.

He had the gargoyle fetch the Sage's Book Sage's Book, and then had it open and hold it up.

He then placed the Medicine and Poison on the thigh that had not been violated by the girl.

He first focused his attention on the Sage's Book.

"You have read The Sage's Book."

You have gained ' Temporary Focus Upgrade '.

A moment later.

Roger's attention shifted to Medicine and Poison.

"You read ' Medicine and Poison '."

"You're beginning to grasp the formula for the first poison."

"Tip: Your focus is insufficient to continue reading ' Medicine and Poison '."

Roger showed no impatience and continued reading the Sage's Book.

With the buff provided by the Sage's Book.

He absorbed knowledge with great eagerness.

This process is repeated.

Six hours later.

"You've learned the principles and creation of a poison: Madola's Tears."

"Madola's Tears: A highly toxic atomized spray."

"Effects: Sensory toxin. Has strong effects such as blinding, deafening, and olfactory disturbance."

Special: Increases effectiveness against amphibians by 400%.

"This... this..."

"This is so targeted!"

Roger almost slapped his thigh and exclaimed that he was an expert.

Qin rolled over.

Roger took the opportunity to slip away.

It was at this moment.

The locator on his chest suddenly started beeping!

Roger took it out and looked at it.

On the broken ink-wash screen.

This time, the signal emitted by the Drop Pod was rock-solid, and its location was clearly visible.

It's not far from the wooden house!
