Chapter 13: Evil Catacombs, Regional Missions

The next day, Lin Kong woke up from sleep mode to a system notification.

[Ding! Death Gift count has been refreshed today.]

He glanced at the faction panel.

[Number of heads in this bureau: 57 people.]

[Silver Moon City faction points: 28421.]

Silver Moon City had an overwhelming advantage, with more than 3,000 points ahead of the Lizard Tribe faction.

"I need to work harder to reach the second stage today and get the reward for 100 kills," Lin Kong thought. "Then complete the main quest as soon as possible."

With today's action plan in mind, he packed up his equipment and left the hotel, heading west toward the burrow. The burrow was 30 kilometers away, taking about 2 hours to reach at his walking speed.

On the way, the system announced his coordinates to the hostile faction every hour. Killing a hostile professional with hunter status brought significant points to his faction, causing numerous enemies to besiege and block him. But Lin Kong welcomed the challenge, his head count skyrocketing.

58 people... 59 people... 100 people!

[Hint: Since the number of kills reaches 100, you will get a reward: 10 free attribute points.]

The third stage required reaching 200 kills, promising additional rewards beyond attribute points.

Lin Kong added points in a 6 strength to 4 agility ratio.

Physical Attack: 138

Attack Speed: 4.11/s

Attack Distance: 69.8

After four hours, Lin Kong finally reached his destination.

[Ding! You found a special map: The Vault of Evil.]

[Description: There is a strong dark power here, which leads to the demonization of the monsters, and the strength is greatly improved.]

Lin Kong hid in the forest, calmly observing the environment. A camp was established above the burrow, surrounded by wooden fences with huge wooden cages inside. Hostile professionals were scattered around, dragging the corpses of monsters into the camp. He couldn't see the burrow due to the fence.

"There are a lot of enemies, definitely more than 500," Lin Kong estimated. "And according to the task panel, there are 300 demonized lizard orcs in the burrow."

Lin Kong decided to enter the camp to gather information. Before setting off, he shot 30 arrows at the trees to activate "Ultimate Windfury", boosting his movement and attack speed by 300%. His movement speed reached 244 points.

He rushed out of the forest, running toward the Lizardmen camp.

"An enemy attack!" the lookout professionals shouted.

"Why is he alone?" one asked.

"He must be mad to attack us alone!" another sneered.

A level 10 orc professional stepped outside the fence, raised his longbow, and shot a sharp arrow. But Lin Kong's speed was too fast, easily dodging the attack.

The arrow sank into the soil around Lin Kong. "Your archery skills are rubbish, Bahrain," the surrounding enemies laughed.

"Damn!" Bahrain's face turned crimson. "Everyone, let's kill this kid!" he shouted.

As his voice fell, 12 arrows and 12 phantom arrows flew head-on.

Thwack, thwack, thwack!

-123!

-128!

-133!

-138!

The dense damage numbers rose. The next few arrows triggered critical strikes, turning the level 10 archer into an icy corpse.

[Hint: You killed the professional "N020322", the Silvermoon City faction points +2.]

"Hey! What kind of hand speed is this?!" the enemy was stunned by the rain of arrows. However, they quickly responded.

"Kill him quickly! Don't let him disrupt the ceremony!" they ordered.

The enemy drew their weapons, and the ranged professionals launched their attacks. Frost Arrows, Fireballs, and other skills exploded around Lin Kong. Despite dodging many attacks, he still took several hits. With more than 300 health points left, he finally rushed into the camp, revealing a horrifying scene.

Human beings and magical beasts were imprisoned in wooden cages, with various corpses strewn across the ground.

[The hidden area mission "Cave Rescue" has been triggered.]

[Ding! Silvermoon City Faction Announcement:]

[Professional "Y035622" triggers the hidden area task "Crypt Rescue", description: The residents of Silvermoon City are imprisoned in the cave camp, please go and rescue them.]

[Task requirements: The number of surviving residents must be more than 100 to receive rewards. The more survivors, the bigger the reward.]

Lin Kong had expected this mission, but not the presence of so many professionals. In each of his dreams, he had only observed one professional. Now, hundreds surrounded him.

"Human, now let's see where you run!" the enemy sneered, unleashing various skills at Lin Kong.

Lin Kong suddenly laughed. "The next time we meet, it will be your death!" he declared. Dozens of skills drowned his figure, and his blood bar emptied.

[Ding! To trigger the death gift, please specify the resurrection location.]

"Forest," Lin Kong chose, reappearing farther from the camp.

...

The camp was silent.

"He doesn't seem to be dead..." someone whispered.

"What are you afraid of? He was just bluffing. If he dares to come back, we'll kill him again!" another scoffed.

Despite their bravado, the enemies became cautious, sending patrols to the surrounding forests.

Lin Kong, however, was prepared, resurrected farther away.

[Ding, you get the benefit: "Sacred Wall", refreshes after leaving this world.]

[Holy Wall: After each attack, damage reduction +1, effect cleared after leaving the battle.]

Lin Kong smiled. This effect was even stronger, with no stacking upper limit. Holy Wall combined with Ultimate Windfury made him nearly invincible.

He began to plan his next move, ready to take on the challenges ahead.
