Bang! Bang! Bang!

Throwing away the bloodstained stones, Su Nian turned over and sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

Sweat trickled down his forehead, and he turned his gaze to the ghoul beside him, whose head was already blurred with flesh and blood, and a smile appeared on his face.

Brings up the quest panel.

【Quest Information】:

Initial Main Quest: Kill three Corrosive creatures and return to the main city of the faction (2/3).

……

He has already killed two Corrosive creatures, and if he kills one more, he will be able to complete the initial main quest.

Looking down at his torn shirt, he reached down and took it off, revealing his well-proportioned eight-pack abs.

It's the result of years of exercise.

Before his 18th birthday, he would spend hours exercising every day.

Strong physical fitness is the greatest guarantee to improve the probability of survival.

He tore his torn torn torn strips of cloth with his teeth, wrapping them around his injured left hand.

During the battle with the ghoul beside him, he accidentally got his left arm scratched by the ghoul's claws, leaving a two-inch-long wound that was bleeding from it.

The injury did not affect Su Nian's mentality.

Long before he was drafted, he was mentally prepared for injury.

Using his teeth to assist his right hand in bandaging, he bit down on the strip of cloth and pulled it hard to tighten it, and then bit off the excess part of the strip with his teeth.

After doing all this, Su Nian looked at the ghoul at his feet, took out a black chip the size of a fingernail from its head, and threw it into the space of his carry-on bag.

In his opinion, the chip on the ghoul is lifespan.

As long as you sacrifice to the God of Purgatory, you will get the time for the Ember Fire to continue burning.

The Ember Flame is also an important currency for the main city to buy equipment, items, and even skills.

Sitting on the ground and resting for a long time, Su Nian, who felt a dry mouth, stood up when his strength recovered.

There was no water nearby, so he had to take advantage of the last kill before he ran out of energy, and the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for him.

There is still one and a half hours left for the world difficulty to refresh, and he must hurry.

Picking up the stones on the ground, Su Nian looked around.

The sea of blood-colored flowers is more than two meters high, almost obscuring the line of sight, and it is not very far to see through the gap.

It's a very oppressive environment.

To Su Nian, it seemed that a hideous monster would jump out of the flowers at any time and launch a deadly attack on him.

Holding the stone, Su Nian walked forward slowly, listening carefully to the movements nearby.

The slightest sound would make him stop and listen, and make sure there was no danger before moving on.

After a long time, Su Nian spotted a corrosive creature through the gap in the flowers.

The corrosive creature's body seemed to be stitched together from the limbs of different creatures, with no skin, muscles exposed, and a viscous black liquid dripping from its mouth, making its limbs appear very uncoordinated in its movements.

The blood-colored flames above his head pulsed, and information about the monster flooded into his mind.

[Stitching Demon]:

Target Information: A low-level corrosive creature unique to the waning moon world difficulty, after killing the target, it will fuse the target's flesh and blood with itself to gain a strength increase.

Power Level: Blackstone (1 star)

Value: Heart

……

Su Nian, who wanted to make a detour, saw that the strength of the monster was analyzed and evaluated as a black stone star, and his heart suddenly flooded with murderous intent.

Just kill this monster and he will be able to complete the mission.

But he didn't act rashly.

Two fierce battles in a row have consumed a lot of his physical strength, and victory is in sight, so he needs to be more cautious.

The Stitch Demon was apparently unaware of his presence, and was slowly heading east towards the Scarlet Plains.

Waiting for the stitching demon to distance himself from him, Su Nian clenched the black stone in his hand and slowly followed.

The Stitch Demon's hearing and perception were weak, and he didn't notice his approach, but still hurried on his own.

When the distance between Su Nian and the Stitching Demon was less than two meters, the Suture Demon seemed to notice it, and slowly moved his body to look in the direction he was.

Realizing that he had been discovered, Su Nian suddenly burst out, grabbed the black stone with both hands and smashed it into the head of the Stitch Demon.

Bang!

This was a surprise, and the stitch demon who had only turned half of his body was smashed to the ground by the heavy blow of the stone.

Su Nian didn't dare to slack off, and took advantage of the Stitching Demon to fall to the ground, pounced, and relied on the body's gravity and inertia to hit the Stitch Demon's head again.

Su Nian, who got up, mustered all his strength, climbed onto the body of the Stitch Demon, and smashed the stones on the Stitch Demon's head one after another in a riding posture.

In the face of Su Nian's mad attack, the suture demon waved his arms, and his claws scratched blood marks on Su Nian's body.

But Su Nian ignored it and continued to smash hard.

It wasn't until the Stitch Demon's head was shattered that his waving arms stopped struggling.

It was at this moment that a piece of information came to mind:

[Faction Hint: After completing the initial main quest, choose to return to Purgatory City.] 】

Hearing the prompt, Su Nian did not choose to return, but looked down at the suture demon who had lost his movement, and then began to dissect it with his bare hands.

It took a lot of effort to take out the corrosive chip at the heart of the suture demon and throw it into the space of the carry-on bag.

But just as he wanted to return to the main city, he suddenly felt a biting chill in his back.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately chose to return to the main city.

But the information that came to his mind poured cold water on him.

[Faction Hint: Fall into a negative mental state and can't return to the main city!] 】

Turning around and looking behind him, Su Nian's hairs stood on end.

At some point, there was a wooden pole not far behind him, and a scarecrow hung from the top of the pole.

The scarecrow's face had no eyes, only a mouth that was cracked to the base of the ear, two outstretched arms topped by metallic claws with a suffocating glow of blood, and a bare black twisted heart on his chest.

A sea of blood-colored flowers rippled in the wind, and the tattered black robes draped over the scarecrow made a hunting sound in the wind.

Time seems to stand still.

The faint smell of blood wafting from the scarecrow's body lingered on the tip of Su Nian's nose, and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

The illusory flames dangling overhead pulsed, and information about the scarecrow flooded into his mind.

【Death Scarecrow (Elite)】

Target Information: The scarecrow abandoned in the corrupt world was born into a primary consciousness under the influence of corrosive power, transformed into a decaying creature, and is good at using mental power to control the target, slowly absorbing the life force and spiritual power in the target's body to strengthen itself.

Strength Evaluation: Blackstone (4 stars)

Value: Heart core

……

Seeing the strength evaluation of the four-star of Blackstone, Su Nian's scalp was numb and he realized that trouble was coming.

He immediately tried to get up and run away, but found that he could not move, as if an invisible force had restrained him in place.
