The Corpse King dropped a lot of items, more than ten, ranging from weapons and armor to Skill Book and potions—it had everything.

Li Wei glanced at the weapons and selected a broadsword called 'Frost', whose quality was far superior to that of the Eight Desolations.

After testing it with his true energy, Li Wei discovered that Frost had a better sensitivity to true energy and was more flexible in controlling it.

The other weapons were also extraordinary, but Li Wei stored them all in his storage space at this time. Li Wei didn't need the armor and potions for the time being, so he put them away as well.

All that's left are the Skill Book.

Li Wei saw that the Skill Book contained four types: magic, Daoist magic, summoning, and martial arts. Li Wei didn't fancy any of the martial arts skills; the martial arts in this mission world were utterly insignificant compared to what Li Wei had learned.

Even in the realm of magic, it's far removed from Card Magic. Li Wei's goal is to reach the level of John from the last mission, but for now, he's primarily focused on cultivating true essence.

The remaining categories are Daoist magic and summoning magic.

There was only one book in the Daoist category, the 'Invisibility Talisman'. Li Wei took a look at it and was pleasantly surprised. Although the Invisibility Talisman was of average level, its effect was quite practical.

However, to perform this kind of Daoist magic, one needs 'talisman paper' as an aid. In Li Wei's memory, 'talisman paper' can be purchased from merchants in Bicheng City.

Li Wei glanced at the summoning-themed books and found two.

One book was 'Summon Skeleton,' while the other was 'Summon Holy Beast.' Li Wei's eyelids twitched. Back in the early days of the game, the 'Summon Holy Beast' book was something only high-level players could possess. For a time, Daoists, one of the three classes in the game, were proud to have a divine beast following them.

Li Wei glanced at the learning requirements. Basically, as long as one's mental strength reached a certain level, one could learn them. Learning these two summoning techniques would not be a loss for Li Wei, so Li Wei smiled and then crushed the two Skill Book in his hand.

As rays of light entered his body, Li Wei gained two summoning techniques.

Opening his eyes, Li Wei twitched his fingers. This summoning spell also required 'talisman paper' to cast. It seemed that even if he wanted to test the skill in the future, he would need to go to Bicheng City to buy 'talisman paper'.

Another half hour passed, and 100 Zombie Bone had been collected. It was believed that Zheng Yutong and Nina would return soon. As for the copper mine, Li Wei had also collected 99 bones.

Three minutes later, the last piece of copper ore was found, and all the items needed for the quest were collected.

Li Wei waved his hand, and the nine iron pickaxes returned to his hand. After thinking for a moment, he put all the pickaxes into the Copper Pot, thinking that he might need to use these things again in the future.

All we need to do now is wait for Zheng Yutong and Nina to arrive, then go to Bicheng City together to hand in the quest items. This will complete 'Quest One'.

The mission went very smoothly, but Li Wei was unaware that he was about to experience the biggest setback of his life.

Meanwhile, in the real world...

In a Jungle, many corpses lay scattered about, their wounds indicating they had just been killed.

However, the expressions on their faces were all quite strange.

They all wore eerie smiles; all the corpses wore the same expression.

One of the corpses had a human figure crawling on it, which looked quite eerie in the silent, Jungle.

"Heh, a reincarnator? I see!"

The figure wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with her jade-like arm; it was blood she had accidentally gotten on her while eating. If Li Wei were here, he would definitely recognize this figure.

"Just by signing my name on this Yellow Paper, I can become a reincarnator? Good, very good!" She smiled eerily, her fingertips dabbing some blood from the corpse beneath her as she wrote her name on the Yellow Paper.

'Sky-Piercing Fox Demon'

Instantly, the Yellow Paper emitted a soft light, and the blood-red words slowly seeped into the paper, then disappeared without a trace, as if snow had melted away.

With a flick of his wrist, the Yellow Paper disappeared.

Just after killing this group of people with her charm, the fox demon unexpectedly discovered that one of them had dropped a piece of Yellow Paper. After picking it up, she realized its wonderful use.

"This paper is truly an extraordinary magical artifact!" After putting away the Yellow Paper, the Sky-Piercing Fox Demon took out another item, which turned out to be a black longsword.

Dried bloodstains still remained on the sword.

For some reason, upon seeing the longsword, a chilling murderous aura immediately appeared on the fox demon's face.

"The hatred for killing the child in my womb is irreconcilable. You may hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. Now that I've absorbed enough living souls, I can immediately use my searching technique to find your lair. At that time, I will definitely kill everyone related to you to avenge my unborn child!"

This fox demon was none other than the one Li Wei had encountered in Sand City.

Last time she chased after Li Wei, she didn't expect that after seriously injuring Li Wei would stab her in the abdomen with this Black Spiral Sword. Originally, given the abilities of the Sky-Piercing Fox Demon, this minor injury was nothing to worry about.

Unfortunately, she was already two months pregnant, and Li Wei's sword struck the fetus, killing it instantly. This incident created an irreconcilable enmity between the fox demon and Li Wei.

The fox demon formed a hand seal, and a ball of yellow light enveloped the Black Spiral Sword. The Sky-Piercing Fox Demon had cultivated in the Demon Refining Pot for a thousand years, so its cultivation was beyond doubt. This yellow light was called the 'Search Technique,' which could locate the place where a person had been by observing the residual aura on an object.

Soon, the spell took effect. The Black Spiral Sword, enveloped in a yellow light, slowly rose into the air and flew in one direction. The Sky-Piercing Fox Demon also cast a spell and flew up, closely following behind.

A day later, the Sky-Piercing Fox Demon followed the Black Spiral Sword to a hillside. Below it was a villa area, and the fox demon could sense the presence of humans below.

"Shameless brat, I've finally found you!" The Sky-Piercing Fox Demon's face twisted into a savage grin as it leaped down.

The villa area was now impregnable, and the special police guards on the wall quickly spotted the strange woman flying down from the sky. They immediately sounded the alarm and skillfully aimed their rifles at the woman.

Before he could pull the trigger, he was blasted into a cloud of blood mist by a beam of cold light shot out by the Sky Fox.

The massacre began from that moment.

No matter how the special police and soldiers guarding the area resisted, it was all in vain. In the eyes of an S-level expert, they were nothing but ants, or even less than ants. In just a moment, they were all slaughtered by the Sky Fox.

Just as Sky Fox was about to rush into the villa area, he was blocked by a sword light.

The newcomers were none other than Amakusa and Liu Piaopiao.

The two women were reincarnators responsible for guarding the villa area. Upon seeing the Sky Fox floating in mid-air, Amakusa, who possessed the Insight Technique, turned pale.

S-class?

How could he be an S-rank fighter?

While Amakusa was stunned, the fox demon grinned maliciously, stretched out his palm, and conjured a giant Ghost Claw that grabbed at Amakusa. The latter was shocked and tried to retreat, but it was too late, and he was firmly grasped by the giant claw.

Although his combat power had reached B2, Amakusa couldn't even last a single move against an S-rank expert. He tried to break free, but the fox demon, wielding a black longsword, arrived beside Amakusa in a flash.

"You're that man's friend, then die!" With a flick of his black sword, blood splattered.

Liu Piaopiao, who was standing to the side, was already intimidated by the fox demon's power and could not move. She was filled with endless fear. When she saw Amakusa, whose body was no longer responding, being thrown down, Liu Piaopiao was filled with grief and indignation.

She was afraid, but even angrier.

Amakusa and she had spent the last few days together and were like sisters. Now that she was dying tragically before her eyes, Liu Piaopiao immediately roared in anger, her eyes bloodshot, and used the Falling Blossoms Divine Sword Palm to charge at the fox demon recklessly.

"Hmph, a mere trick!" The fox demon slashed with the Black Spiral Sword in her hand. It was nothing fancy, but with S-level power and speed, the sword was as fast as lightning. In a flash, a streak of blood rose up.

Mission World.

Li Wei rode his skeletal warhorse swiftly towards Bicheng City, with Zheng Yutong on the back. Nina, however, flew angrily in mid-air, glancing at the two people on horseback every now and then.

Suddenly, Li Wei's eyelids twitched, and he felt as if he had lost something.

Suddenly, the Yellow Paper popped out with a single message.

Li Wei glanced at it, his face instantly turned deathly pale, and he trembled violently, almost falling off his horse.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Yutong had never seen Li Wei like this before, and Nina, who was in mid-air, also flew down.

Li Wei remained silent for a long time, seemingly suppressing something, but his eyes revealed an unprecedented killing intent.

Liu Piaopiao is dead!

This is the instruction on the Yellow Paper.

When a slave dies, Li Wei will be notified immediately via Yellow Paper.

What exactly happened?

Li Wei was unaware that during his mission, he could only return to the real world after completing all the tasks; before that, he had no way of knowing what had happened in the real world.

Liu Piaopiao was left behind in the villa area, along with Amakusa. Has the villa area undergone a dramatic change?

My elderly father lives there!

Li Wei was extremely anxious and wished he could return to the present world immediately. If it really was an enemy invasion, Li Wei would never let them get away with it just because they killed Liu Piaopiao.

However, in Li Wei's mind, things were probably not that simple. Although Liu Piaopiao's combat strength was only D3 level, there was also Amakusa, a B2 level fighter, in the villa area. Under these circumstances, Liu Piaopiao was still killed. What did this mean?

For the first time, Li Wei felt helpless, and his heart was like an ant on a hot pan, unable to calm down.

The real world.

The villa area, a nearby human settlement, was now eerily silent, with countless corpses lying haphazardly on the ground and blood flowing like a river.

The Sky-Piercing Fox Demon killed everyone here, even the domestic fowl kept in cages were all wiped out by her.
