Chapter 76: Hunt Mission

r military's silver pay was given to veteran soldiers and horses, and the rest was mostly given to Ming troops who surrendered. 。The remaining soldiers could only receive a few coins each month. With...Soon, the fortress fell silent.

Su Xin also stopped the massacre.

"Lucky me, out of twenty-eight mission objectives, I managed to eliminate twenty-one. Only seven escaped." Su Xin chuckled, looking at the bodies of the bandits scattered around him.

I originally thought that with twenty-eight mission objectives, even if I was skilled, I wouldn't be able to kill too many. But I didn't expect the Uxin Fort's lair to actually be an inner fortress hidden inside a mountain.

This hidden fortress, located within a cave, is surrounded by stone walls. Only a few passages exist, greatly restricting the bandits' escape routes.

If this were out in the open, those bandits would scatter and flee. Su Xin wouldn't be able to kill many of them.

In the dungeon, those bandits could only flee in one direction toward the exit. Many were caught and killed by their pursuers.

Twenty-eight mission objectives were completed, twenty-one of them successfully eliminated. Even the leader of Wu Xin Fort and eight important leaders were killed by him. For his second stage training mission, he didn't say 100% completion, but the completion rate was definitely very high. The fire points obtained afterwards would definitely be considerable.

"These bandits from Wu Xin Fort frequently raid surrounding villages and towns, raping women, massacring civilians; they all deserve to die.

"

Su Xin will have no mercy for these heinous thieves.

At that moment, Su Xin suddenly noticed the ring on the nameless finger of the right hand of the deceased Wu Xinzhuang owner.

"The Heaven-Earth Ring"

Su Xin's heart moved, and he stepped forward to take off the Qiankun ring.

After the death of the master of Wuxin Fort, this Universe Ring became an unowned object. Su Xin easily refined it and saw what was inside the Universe Ring.

First, there is a large amount of money.

Wuxin Fort has existed on the outskirts of the Blood Sacrifice Mountains for over a decade, plundering countless warriors who ventured into the Blood Sacrifice Mountains. It also frequently raided surrounding villages and towns, naturally accumulating a vast fortune. Most of this wealth is concentrated in the hands of Wuxin Fort's master.

Su Xin wasn't interested in the wealth at all. What he was interested in were things that could help martial artists in their cultivation.

For example, this Qiankun Ring also contains quite a few pills and heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Even secret manuals and martial arts techniques number in the dozens. It's clear that these are things accumulated by the master of Wuxin Fort over the years. Unfortunately, these items are relatively low-level and lack significant value, nothing to move Su Xin.

"After returning to the Tianyan Palace, take these things to the Treasure Pavilion. They should be able to trade for some Fire Points," Su Xin thought secretly.

Next, he continued to walk around the dungeon, hoping to find any bandits who had survived his attack and were still hiding within. He searched for those who hadn't yet managed to escape before completing their objective. Unfortunately, after searching thoroughly, he found no one.

After an hour, Su Xin came out of the secret chamber.

As for the bandits in Wu Xin Fort, whether they were on the list or not, in the end, only a portion escaped. Most of them were directly slaughtered by him.

Those women who had been abducted were also rescued and sent back.

……

"That old hag... she's so disgusting!"

After leaving the dark fortress, Su Xin's face was very strange.

Just moments ago, as he searched the dungeon for any escaped bandits, he passed by the residence of the Darkheart Castle's lord. To his surprise, inside he saw dozens of men with fair complexions, dressed in revealing garments and adorned in flamboyant and outlandish fashion.

And even several more were lying in bed.

The impact of that scene... it's simply indescribable in words.

Su Xin was terrified.

It took Su Xin a long time to gradually calm down, and then he opened the third mission scroll.

>Third stage mission...

The Blood Sacrifice Mountains, stretching for thousands of miles, is a paradise for demonic beasts. Within the depths of the Blood Sacrifice Mountains, countless demonic beasts rivaling the strength of those in the Void-Shattering Realm can be found.

"Mission Objective: Journey to the depths of the Blood Sacrifice Mountains and slay ten Tier 4 High-Rank Demonic Beasts. You must bring back their corpses as proof."

"Mission Reward: 10,000 Fire Points!"

Su Xin frowned, looking at the content of this third-stage mission.

"To be sent to the Blood Sacrifice Mountains to hunt down four high-level demonic beasts in one go, and to kill ten of them The Heavenly Flame Palace is truly ruthless," Su Xin cursed inwardly.

Like human martial artists,

monster beasts are divided into ranks according to their strength.

First-order monster: Comparable to a human's Bone Melting Realm.

Second-order monster: Comparable to the True Martial Realm.

Tier 3 Monster: Comparable to a Sea Transformation Realm expert.

Comparable to a fourth-order demon beast is the Void Breaker realm.

While the human realm-breaking stage has four levels: initial, middle, late, and peak, demonic beasts also have four levels: low, medium, high, and peak.

A fourth-order higher monster, comparable to a late-stage Void Breaker human cultivator.

However...even at the same level, a monster's tough hide and thick flesh make its physical attributes far superior to those of a human warrior of the same rank. They are also harder to kill than human warriors of the same rank.

> And most importantly, the Blood Sacrifice Mountains are a paradise for demonic beasts. Hunting demonic beasts deep within the Blood Sacrifice Mountains, if one accidentally causes too much commotion, it could attract a large number of demonic beasts to attack him at the same time.

You have to know, deep within the Blood Sacrifice Mountains, there are many even fourth-tier peak demonic beasts. There are even rumored fifth-tier demonic beasts that can rival human Nirvana Realm powerhouses.

If he's not careful, and encounters a fourth-order peak demon beast, or his luck is at its worst and he runs into a fifth-order demon beast, then he'll be in big trouble.

"This third stage mission is much more difficult than the previous two. Su Xin sighed, "But luckily, this mission doesn't have a fixed deadline, so I don't have to rush. I can slowly search for those demonic beasts within the Blood Sacrifice Mountains to hunt them."

Taking a deep breath, Su Xin walked alone into the Blood Sacrifice Mountain Range.

……

The summer heat is scorching the earth.

Su Xin walked alone in the dense forest.

The Blood Sacrifice Mountains are vast, but luckily Su Xin obtained a more detailed map from the bandits he had killed at Wu Xin Fort before.

Following the map's directions, Su Xin slowly made his way deeper into the Blood Sacrifice Mountains.

Along the way, he also encountered many monsters. He avoided those that he could, and if he couldn't, he directly killed them.

And on the road, Su Xin also met a few human warriors.

This is a team of six or seven people. Their cultivation levels aren't very high, all of them are just at the Huanghai realm. There's only one who has reached the peak of the Huanghai realm.

A team of this caliber, in the Blood Sacrifice Mountains, would only dare to wander on the outskirts and wouldn't dare venture deep inside.

When they saw Su Xin, the team members were still quite wary. Apparently, there were too many human warriors who had ventured into the Blood Sacrifice Mountains, causing too much chaos. Even among humans, for the sake of profit, they might kill each other within these Blood Sacrifice Mountains.

Su Xin ignored the human team and continued deeper.

Three days later, Su Xin came to a vast and sprawling thicket.

Following the map's directions, Su Xin should be nearing the depths of the Blood Ritual Mountains. He gazed at the map in his hand.

For the past three days, he had been traveling along the fastest route on the map, and his speed was very fast.

"Hmm" Su Xin's brows suddenly furrowed.

Just beside him, a streak of purple light suddenly shot out from a bush, moving with incredible speed.

Su Xin slightly shifted his body, dodging the purple light in that instant, and two fingers burst forth with a sword glow, directly killing the 'purple light'.

‘Zi Guang’ fell to the ground, and it turned out to be a beast with purple fur, nearly half a meter tall.

This rodent monster had two incredibly large teeth, razor-sharp, and it was just hiding in the bushes, waiting for an opportunity to bite Su Xin's head. If this bite hit, Su Xin's skull would probably be shattered.

"This Blood Sacrifice Mountain Range, as expected, is fraught with danger. If one isn't careful, even the most inconspicuous places could harbor monstrous beasts that suddenly launch an attack. Su Xin looked down at the corpse of this rodent-like monster beast beneath his feet."

Judging from the speed at which this rodent demon beast just burst out, it should be a level three peak demon beast, comparable to a human Sea Transformation peak expert.

"As we go deeper, the monsters we encounter will become stronger and stronger. Now, even a random monster is at the peak of the third rank. I'm afraid that if we go a little further, we should be able to meet a fourth-rank one, which would be comparable to a human who has broken through the void realm. Su Xin murmured softly, then carefully walked forward."

Before entering the Blood Sacrifice Mountains, he was still relatively relaxed and moved quickly because the monsters on the outskirts were weak and posed almost no threat to him.

As one delves deeper, the strength of the monsters increases. Particularly in places where a large number of fourth-order monsters reside, even Su Xin has to be extremely cautious and careful not to make any mistakes.

……

Su Xin had already drawn his long sword, walking carefully, searching for his mission target.

Just half a day later, Su Xin had found a monster that met the requirements.

This is a massive bear, towering over three meters tall. Its body is covered in a layer of black crystal-like armor, making it look like a small mountain.

Through the sensing of breath, Su Xin knew that this giant bear had reached the level of a fourth-order high demon beast.

This giant bear should be the overlord of this area. Within a radius of several kilometers, there are no other monsters besides it.

Su Xin's eyes were cold, staring at the giant bear that seemed like a mountain at the end of his line of sight. The next moment, he made his move directly.

Wow!

The icy sword glow flared for a moment, and Su Xin initially attempted a surprise attack, aiming a straight slash at the giant bear's head from behind.

However, the giant bear was quick to react. Upon sensing something amiss behind it, it immediately turned around and swatted back with its paw.

Slap!

The sword beam was instantly shattered, and Su Xin's arm went numb. His figure immediately retreated explosively.

"What a powerful force!"

"Although it's only a Level 4 High-Rank demonic beast, the power of that just now slap is probably comparable to a peak Void-Breaking human martial artist."

Su Xin exclaimed.

He also knew that the advantages of demon beasts in terms of physical strength were indeed far greater than those of human martial artists.

Monstrous beasts of the same level are almost always superior to human martial artists in terms of strength and defense.

Of course, human martial artists also have their own advantages.

That's artistry!

"Shadowed!"

"Ouch!"

"A bad dream!"

……

Su Xin's swordsmanship erupted directly.

Blades of light flashed, each imbued with powerful sword intent and profound comprehension. They relentlessly assaulted the giant bear.

Although the giant bear possessed immense strength, its attack methods were too clumsy and simplistic. Under Su Xin's exquisite swordsmanship, it became a living target, nothing more than being toyed with and trampled upon by Su Xin's swordplay.

Even so, Su Xin still spent a long time before finally slaying this giant bear demon beast.

……ed before him. This crossbow emanated an extraordinary aura of destruction. The moment the Azure Dragon charged, the crossbow bolt shot out instantly.Boom!The pitch-black crossbow bolt, imbued with te...
