The Yellow Paper divination slip hints at the dead horse in the Monastery, and the quotation marks on the dead horse are a sign of the dead horse.
That Witch died so easily?
Looking again at the killer, it was still the same old name. Just who was this idiot reincarnator? Had his combat power rating reached the level of Tian?
Otherwise, how could the Witch, whom even I find quite difficult to deal with, be killed so easily by the opponent?
"This is troublesome!" The Reincarnator beside him, also looking at the instructions on the Yellow Paper, knew very well the female mage's role in this team; in fact, she was their most valuable member. "She possesses the flesh and blood puppet I created, and with her magic, how could we possibly fail?"
"Your flesh and blood puppets are a joke!" The Death Knight glanced at him coldly and continued, "And this assassination plan was your idea too, wasn't it? It's utterly stupid."
As they were speaking, several monsters, oblivious to their impending doom, charged forward. But the Death Knight didn't even glance at them; with a mere grab of the void, the Dark Fallen at the front was crushed into a pile of minced meat, as if held by an invisible hand.
The remaining two monsters were then shredded to pieces by a burst of magic that emerged from the Death Knight's rune sword.
The person who was making the wheel nut suddenly shuddered.
"The other side will likely try to steal our mission. Now, after we take out the blacksmith, we'll meet up with the Mad God who's clearing the way in the dungeon and wait for that Ascendant in Andariel's Lair. I have a feeling he'll definitely go there."
As the two approached the Smith's territory, they immediately saw the towering, demonized giant charging towards them.
Upon seeing the Monastery gate in the distance, a notification suddenly appeared on Li Wei's Yellow Paper: "Reincarnation Squad No. 1, kill the Smith, complete the mission 'Tools of the Trade'."
Wow, that was fast!
Li Wei thought to himself, the Monastery's military camp is extremely difficult to find in the game, so it would be equally difficult to find it here in a short time. Not to mention the numerous monsters there, the winding paths and dark environment would also pose a challenge to the Bosuo military camp.
After thinking for a moment, Li Wei plunged into the Monastery.
Behind Li Wei were three people: Zheng Yutong, Xue Yan, and Nina.
As for Chen Dali, Luo Cheng, Blood Wolf, and Liu Piaopiao, they were excluded from this mission due to insufficient combat strength.
Zheng Yutong's combat strength was close to that of a level 1. If she were to truly become enraged, even Li Wei himself would probably have to back down. Xue Yan, on the other hand, combined the low-level Guardian that Li Wei had given her with a "Stealth" Skill Book dropped by the thief, breaking through level 0 in one fell swoop and reaching the level of "Initialization." As a result, the power of her unique throwing knife combat technique also increased significantly.
As for Nina, her growth in the An Hei world left Li Wei speechless.
Originally, she was supposed to stay with Luo Cheng at the Rogue Encampment, but this naturally active little girl was not so obedient. During that time, she would run outside the camp every few days to hunt some low-level monsters.
Yan's Vampire bloodline grants her almost limitless sustained combat ability and astonishing regenerative power. In recent days, the number of monsters she has slain is absolutely terrifying. The massive number of monster kills has increased her Vampire bloodline fusion level by 5 points, which has allowed her to comprehend a new ability.
"Absorption of the Essence of Mangming"
The beauty of this skill lies in the fact that she doesn't need to use her teeth. She only needs to touch the target with her hands to absorb the life essence of the target creature.
What is the essence of life?
Simply put, it's a "miracle drug" that can improve physical condition and enhance combat power. This has led to the consequence that Nina's stamina has surpassed Li Wei's and reached the Tian Dian level.
Therefore, under the pull of her powerful vitality, Nina's combat strength also increased to an astonishing level.
In terms of upgrade speed alone, even Li Wei can only look on in the dust.
Moreover, as Vampire, her sensitivity to dark creatures was one of the reasons Li Wei brought her along.
Upon entering the Monastery, one is greeted by a scene of corpses scattered across the ground; some were already decomposed, while the majority were fresh bodies.
"Judging from the blood of these monsters, they must have all died last night, and they were all killed by the same person!"
Xue Yan crouched down to examine the monster's corpse, and said with a grave expression.
The corpses on the ground were all demons who had taken over the Monastery. They were true demons, with goat heads and human bodies, wielding scythes and spears. Their strength and speed were unmatched by the "hybrid demons" outside.
At this moment, in the Monastery's courtyard, more than thirty such demons lay sprawled about.
The implications of this are self-evident and don't need to be explained in detail.
"What caused their deaths?" Li Wei asked, squatting down to examine them closely.
"I don't know, maybe it's magic, or more likely it's them killing each other!" Xue Yan said uncertainly.
Li Wei understood that Xue Yan was right; the monsters' corpses were indeed incomplete, but the wounds showed no signs of being cut, more like they had been mutilated by something.
From this point of view alone, it is difficult to determine what kind of weapon the reincarnators used to kill these monsters.
"We need to hurry. The reason we risked coming to the Monastery this time is because the Reincarnation Squad won't actually complete the final mission. After killing Andariel, they might not go to Akara to collect their team points. In that case, the mission won't be considered finished, and they can continue hunting us in this world and kill us all!"
"Isn't there any possibility that the two small teams can get through this mission peacefully?"
Nina asked innocently.
Li Wei simply smiled and said, "When Zheng Chenglong and that thief died, our two teams were destined to fight to the death. I suppose they thought the same thing, otherwise they wouldn't have come to kill us again and again!"
This is a dead end; it's either you or me!
Li Wei knew this all along, ever since he killed the Witch.
Because someone had cleared away the monsters along the way for them, Li Qi and his group made very smooth progress. Even in places with many forks in the road, they could find the correct path by following the monster corpses on the ground.
Soon, Li Wei saw the entrance to the Catacombs.
Like other places, this place was littered with corpses, and blood and limbs smeared the Dali floor. However, weeds grew well here, adding a touch of green to the otherwise gruesome scene.
"Wait a moment!"
Li Wei gave a signal, and Xue Yan immediately understood and entered Stealth mode.
Something's a bit odd!
Looking at the deathly silence around him, Li Wei felt a growing unease. Then he turned his gaze to the mountain of corpses around him and couldn't look away.
These corpses were clearly piled up here intentionally; only the first squad of reincarnators could have done that. So, what was their purpose in doing so?
Li Wei's doubts were quickly answered.
One of the corpses twitched its fingers and then slowly got up, while more corpses followed their predecessors, howling and standing up as well.
These corpses were all dead monsters, but now they seemed to have come back to life like zombies.
"Second Reincarnation Squad, only death awaits you! Die, die!"
All the monster corpses were emitting the same tone, which reminded Li Wei of the female bomb in the camp. The feeling of these monsters now was just like that beautiful woman back then.
"It must be a special skill that allows one to control corpses, or even alter their appearance through some means!" Li Wei understood that the person who set up this trigger trap must be a seasoned expert in controlling corpses.
But do the reincarnators in this squad really think they can kill people with just these ragtag zombies?
Suddenly, Li Wei noticed that the abdomens of several monster corpses were abnormally swollen, as if they were stuffed with something. Instantly, Li Wei understood what was going on.
"Retreat immediately, do not attack them!"
Although the group had some doubts, they followed Li Wei's instructions and retreated back the way they came until they were a safe distance away from the moving corpses.
"What's going on? Why aren't we dealing with these monsters?" Xiao
Faced with the three beautiful women's questioning, Li Wei gestured for them to quiet down. "Have you forgotten what happened at Rogue Encampment this morning?"
The three girls then realized what was happening.
"You mean, these bodies also...", the explosion?
This answer made the three of them, including Zheng Yutong, shrink back. The power of the explosion that morning had truly startled them. It was said that there was only one person at the time, but now there was a large pile of corpses. If it really was a magic bomb, it would probably have reduced the entire Monastery to ashes.
"Don't worry, the magic bombs this morning were made by the female mage I killed. These corpses shouldn't have that kind of terrifying power, but we absolutely can't let our guard down!"
After discussing for a while, the four decided to test the waters. After finding a sufficiently sturdy wall, they hid behind it, while Zheng Yutong shot an arrow at the demon whose belly looked like that of a woman in her tenth month of pregnancy.
At a distance of nearly a hundred meters, the arrow arrived in an instant, its tip piercing the belly of the demon's corpse. The monster didn't even utter a sound before it exploded with a whoosh.
However, there was no firelight or powerful airflow, only countless internal organs, skin, and bones, especially the bone fragments, which were like bullets, punching holes in the surrounding corpses.
This was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The fragments ejected from the exploding monster's corpse ignited the surrounding corpses, which were also swollen with protruding bellies. In an instant, the entrance to the underground tomb was a scene of flying blood and flesh.
The walls and the edges of the weeds were covered in blood and entrails. That carnage lasted only four or five seconds; the entrance, which had been teeming with corpses, vanished in an instant, leaving only a mess of carnage.
