Danger is always present in the mission world. Sometimes, if you take the right path, you can safely complete the mission. But sometimes, one wrong step can lead to utter ruin. Just like Lan Lin, an S-rank powerhouse, who died in a mission.

If he hadn't underestimated his opponent from the start, allowing himself to obtain crucial intelligence, the outcome would likely have been uncertain. The biggest reason for Lan Lin's death was that he exposed his identity too early. If he had been like me, patiently waiting for the right moment to strike, that Slaughterer Card would have been completely useless.

Furthermore, if he hadn't also found and controlled the Marker, he probably wouldn't have been able to obtain that crucial information, and more likely, he would have died at the hands of the other party.

This is the mission world of Shadow Street. Those who survived think it's safe and sound, but in reality, the slightest carelessness can lead to certain death.

"You won't die, I won't let you die!" Li Wei pressed his face against Zheng Yutong's forehead and said resolutely.

Now that I have mastered the Devouring ability, I'll start the next mission with Zheng Yutong. With me there, at least I can step in when things get dangerous. Besides, although Zheng Yutong is also very strong in analyzing missions, she's not as good as me.

Wait a moment!

Li Wei slapped his forehead, thinking to himself, "There's clearly someone who's better at analysis, why not bring him on the mission? That way, even if I make a mistake, he can correct it in time."

Thinking of this, Li Wei revealed a wicked smile.

Meanwhile, in the Destroyer's City, An Hei, who was studying a monster's corpse with Blood Wolf, sneezed twice in a row.

The next few days were quite peaceful. While researching the Devouring skill, Li Wei also went to the StarCraft mission world to search for the whereabouts of the fourth Dragon Jade. However, the result was very disappointing; the Zerg wyvern that possessed the Dragon Jade had long since disappeared.

In an instant, Li Wei thought of Liu Yuchen. Could it be that the other party had taken the fourth piece of Dragon Jade? If so, his room for maneuver would become smaller and smaller.

The fifth Dragon Jade is in the head of Onyxia, the Black Dragon Princess, in World of Warcraft... The sixth and final Dragon Jade is in the head of Gaia Sacred Dragon, in Heroes of Might and Magic. Regardless of which one you obtain, they are all extremely difficult to acquire.

Next came Zheng Yutong's mandatory task, forcing Li Wei to temporarily put aside the matter of Dragon Jade and concentrate on preparations. These preparations involved setting a trap to drag An Hei into the mess.

"You mean, I've become a Reincarnator?" An Hei sat in his chair, eating a piece of golden-brown roasted meat, and said slowly.

In front of him was the Yellow Paper that Li Wei had just made him sign.

Li Wei nodded. "Furthermore, in ten minutes, you will be entering the mission world with me and Zheng Yutong. I hope you are prepared!"

"Ten minutes?" An Hei stared at the roasted meat in his hand, sighed, and then reluctantly put it down. "I wanted to eat some bread, but I'm afraid we won't have enough time!"

Seeing that the other party showed no sign of panic, Li Wei knew that An Hei's cunning was even deeper than he had imagined.

Perhaps he had long anticipated this day, or perhaps he had been dreaming about it all along, because Li Wei could observe that An Hei was eating while rapidly tapping his fingers on the table.

This is a special action he only performs when he's excited.

As An Hei ate half of the bread, the teleportation to Shadow Street began, and Li Wei, Zheng Yutong, and An Hei disappeared together in the white light.

... Heroes of Might and Magic World, Dawn City.

This place has witnessed numerous major battles, and the city walls, ravaged by war, bear the marks of those battles. The dark red bloodstains are indelible, and over time, the once white stone walls have turned dark red. If you get closer, you can smell a pungent stench of blood. It is this crimson color and smell that bear witness to those brutal wars.

The Undead have been driven by the human empire to the other side of the mountains thousands of miles away. It won't be easy for them to make a comeback. However, the war will not end with the withdrawal of the Undead Necromancer.

Li Wei looked out the window and saw the entire Dawn City. He sighed inwardly, realizing he had once again entered the world of Heroes of Might and Magic of Might and Magic. This was the place where he and Zheng Yutong had truly met, and ironically, she was right behind him.

An Hei is still asleep. Reincarnators with combat power below A-level will be negatively affected by the teleportation, and the lower their combat power, the more obvious the effect.

However, he and Zheng Yutong were not subject to this restriction, as were five other people.

Under the Eye of Perception, the combat strength of these five people was also revealed. Basically, they were between A1 and A2. Perhaps because they did not know each other and had concerns, they each stood in a place in the room, remaining silent.

Besides the seven of them, there were more than 50 other people lying on the ground, all unconscious.

"The more people there are, the more difficult the mission will be. We need to be careful with this mission!" Zheng Yutong said solemnly when she saw the number of people on the ground, and then took Li Wei's hand.

Li Wei nodded in agreement; he was well aware of this. In the real world, he and Zheng Yutong had signed Teammate Contract again, which was why they were assigned to the same mission. Of course, there was also An Hei, who was currently lying on the floor, fast asleep.

"Let's rest for a while. Generally, the mission will only be issued after everyone has woken up!" Li Wei pulled Zheng Yutong and sat down on a row of wooden benches in the room.

After sitting down, Li Wei began his analysis.

This is indeed Dawn City. It was here that he killed the Undead Necromancer Sand during his second mission. So even though the mission hasn't been officially announced yet, Li Wei has already confirmed the mission location.

Since this is the world of Heroes of Might and Magic, then if you have the chance, go find that sixth Dragon Jade.

The sixth Dragon Jade is inside the head of the Sacred Dragon Gaia, and as far as Li Wei knows, that Sacred Dragon is the most powerful creature in the Heroes of Might and Magic world.

The Sacred Dragon is renowned for its exceptional attack and defense, high health, and destructive power. It is one of only three level 10 creatures in the world of Heroes of Might and Magic, and also the rarest dragon, typically living on icy cliffs.

This is all the information Li Wei can think of about the Sacred Dragon for the time being.

Of course, that's all in the future. The main mission should be the priority during the mission. I just wonder what this mission will be this time?

During this time, the reincarnators lying on the ground gradually woke up. It was clear that most of them had experienced similar situations before. Only a few newcomers made a fuss, but with a snort from an A-level expert, those newcomers immediately quieted down.

An Hei was one of the last to wake up, which shows that his combat strength was pitifully low.

"Is this the mission world? It's really amazing. Also, how long have I been asleep?" As soon as An Hei woke up, he asked a whole bunch of questions, which Li Wei answered one by one.

"You mean, this is the place you used to be?" An Hei changed after hearing Li Wei's description.

Li Wei could tell that An Hei must have thought of something, so he simply nodded, his expression questioning.

"If I'm not mistaken, this mission is definitely related to you. Didn't you say that the one in charge of the mission is a guy called the Main God? He wouldn't assign missions without any basis, so this mission must be related to you!" An Hei said with certainty.

Li Wei chuckled awkwardly. Seeing that most of the reincarnators had woken up, he quickly hid in a corner where no one would notice, lest his Black Paper be seen when the mission was issued.

Sure enough, the mission was released very quickly.

Mission Scenario: Heroes of Might and Magic World

"Mission One: The Hidden Enemy. Among all 60 Reincarnators, there is an 'outlier' who is not a Reincarnator. Find him, and you will be rewarded with an S-rank Skill Book."

"Mission Two: The Wrath of the Sacred Dragon. Survive the Sacred Dragon's attack and within three months, build your own army to defeat the Sacred Dragon Gaia. Reincarnators who survive within three months will be rewarded with 100,000 points; defeating Gaia will grant a random S-rank Skill Book."

Li Wei was stunned. He hadn't expected that the mission would be to defeat the Sacred Dragon.

So, isn't this just like the situation in Monster Hunter World? The Dragon Jade is hidden on the final enemy. Those who don't know about the Dragon Jade have no idea of the value of the Sacred Dragon Gaia. Not only do I have to complete the mission, but I also need to obtain that crucial Dragon Jade.

This is both an opportunity and a challenge.

After reviewing the mission again, Li Wei silently memorized every word, then put away the Black Paper and returned to Zheng Yutong and An Hei's side. They had clearly also seen the mission, but their expressions differed.

Zheng Yutong looked somewhat relaxed. She knew how powerful the Sacred Dragon Gaia Sacred Dragon three months was unimaginable. Fortunately, the hard requirement for completing the mission wasn't actually killing the Sacred Dragon, but simply surviving for three months. Compared to killing the Sacred Dragon, surviving for three months was much simpler.

An Hei, however, is unusually somber.

He whispered to Li Wei, "Compared to the second mission, the first mission is much more terrifying, and this mission issued by the Main God clearly has some problems... it's very illogical!"

Li Wei had the same feeling. In the first mission, it was only described that among the 60 reincarnators, there was an "outlier" who was not a reincarnator. Li Wei immediately thought of himself.

I believe that An Hei also considered this point, which is why she showed that expression.

The problem is, if this hidden enemy really is Li Wei, what will happen after someone discovers Li Wei's identity?
