5: Slay monsters! Earn another reward!

Su Lie saw a familiar figure.

This person was his deskmate, named Zhang Zhidong.

Zhang Zhidong held a stone axe in his hand, and a circle of vines was wrapped around his waist, with some wild vegetables hanging from the vines. He looked at Su Lie eagerly and greeted him, "Su Lie! Holy crap! Your Shelter is this good?"

"Was the person announced on the Chat Channel earlier you?"

"You are really awesome!"

"I really didn't expect that the two of us were this close!"

...

He was still as talkative as usual.

Once he started speaking, he didn't stop.

Watching Zhang Zhidong getting closer and closer to Su Lie.

Su Lie did not respond; after a brief moment of excitement, a chill went through his heart.

While approaching Su Lie, Zhang Zhidong kept chattering and asking questions, not waiting for Su Lie to reply at all.

Clatter!

When the distance between the two was two meters, Su Lie suddenly lunged forward.

As he moved, he suddenly swung the Exorcism Stone Axe in his hand and hacked it straight at "Zhang Zhidong".

Bang!

The stone axe hacked onto Zhang Zhidong's forehead, emitting a dull sound.

The violent impact made Su Lie's arm numb, and the recoil almost made him let go of the Exorcism Stone Axe's handle.

At this moment, a thin layer of Mist emitted from "Zhang Zhidong's" body.

In the blink of an eye, he had actually turned into a slender tree-man.

The tree-man had a twisted human face, with pitch-black blood flowing from its nose, eyes, ears, and mouth.

Just as the tree-man's large vine hand grabbed Su Lie.

The Exorcism Stone Axe's special effect, Exorcism, took effect.

Whoosh!

A ball of golden flames ignited on the tree-man's forehead.

Seeing this, Su Lie swung the axe hard again to hack.

Whoosh!

The next second.

The tree-man's head was split in two.

The Exorcism flames burned even more intensely.

Only the sound of wind was heard.

In an instant, the tree-man burned into a pile of ash.

A pitch-black monster crystal dropped onto the ground.

"Hiss!"

At this time, Su Lie was still maintaining the hacking posture; he only then realized that his arm was injured.

He saw.

A black scorch mark had already appeared where he was just grabbed by the tree-man.

Wisps of black energy were still rising from the mark.

Through the skin, he could see.

Black energy was already slowly spreading along his veins towards both ends of his arm.

"I've been contaminated!"

Su Lie's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly took out the key to open the door.

The reason why he didn't hesitate to attack the tree-man that had transformed into "Zhang Zhidong" just now.

Was not because he had truly seen through the tree-man's transformation.

But because.

He always remembered the basic mist rule of the Mist World.

And he didn't believe that the Mist World would place two acquaintances in the same area.

If that were really the case.

He would have met Zhang Zhidong long ago.

It wouldn't have waited until the Mist rose for Zhang Zhidong to "coincidentally" appear.

And if the other party was really his classmate.

They wouldn't have waited until they were right in front of him to say hello.

They probably would have been shouting from two or three hundred meters away.

It was precisely because of this judgment.

That he acted decisively.

Click!

Su Lie opened the door, took out a gourd ladle, scooped a spoonful of Exorcism Holy Water from the bucket, drank two gulps first, and then poured the water onto the contaminated area of his arm.

Sizzle!

A puff of foam erupted from the wound.

The foam turned from white to black.

He only felt streams of cold air flying out from the painful wound.

Two or three seconds later.

His arm had returned to normal, and the spreading black energy had completely disappeared.

He washed the wound again with Exorcism Holy Water.

After confirming that the wound had returned to normal.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

"Phew! That was close!"

Su Lie couldn't help but exhale a breath of foul air.

Only then did he get up and walk outside.

At this moment.

[Hum!]

[Congratulations to Su Lie for successfully completing the first kill in the Mist World!]

[Reward: 1 Green Premium-grade Weapon Treasure Chest, 10 free attribute points, 10 Mist Points!]

The prompt from the mist rule jumped into his line of sight.

Su Lie bent down and picked up the black monster crystal after killing the tree-man.

When he looked up, he found that the sky had actually started to turn pitch black.

In the thick Mist, one black shadow after another appeared.

He saw pairs of scarlet eyes.

Whoosh!

Su Lie dared not stay in the wild any longer, and hurriedly turned around and retreated back to the Shelter.

Clang!

The iron door of the Shelter was heavily closed by him.

He quickly locked the door from the inside.

Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.

When he lowered his head.

He saw the attributes of the black monster crystal in his hand.

[monster crystal: Level 0, can be obtained by killing Level 0 monsters, a necessary material for crafting Mist items and upgrading the Shelter.]

"Mist items?"

Su Lie chewed on the words repeatedly.

He took out the crafting blueprints he had obtained earlier and found that there was no requirement for monster crystal materials on them.

Obviously, furniture is not a Mist item.

He then looked at the Treasure Chest he had just obtained.

This time, what he obtained was a Level 1 Treasure Chest.

Immediately.

Su Lie Enhanced the Treasure Chest.

The Treasure Chest was Enhanced from Green Premium-grade to a Red Mystery-quality Level 1 Treasure Chest.

Hum!

After opening the chest.

He obtained a Red Mystery-quality Wolf Fang Hammer.

The handle of the Wolf Fang Hammer was 40 centimeters long, the diameter of the hammer head was about 20 centimeters, and it was covered with spikes.

[Demon-Subduing Wolf Fang Hammer: Red Mystery-quality, Level 1 weapon, Requirements: stamina 50; Speed 50; Spirit 30; Damage +100 points.

Special Effect Demon-Subduing: Holding this weapon can prevent you from being contaminated by the aura of Mist Monsters.

Special Effect Thunder Sound: Consumes 1 point of Spirit to release a Thunder Sound, causing the target struck by the hammer to be stunned for 3 seconds.]

"Good heavens! This is a weapon with a Skill! It can also avoid contamination by monster aura during battle! This weapon is great!"

Seeing this, a smile curled up on the corner of Su Lie's mouth.

At this moment.

Violent knocking came from outside the door.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Amidst the urgent knocking, there were also miserable pleas.

"Is anyone there? Please open the door! The monsters are here! Save me!"

"I beg you! They are getting closer and closer to me!"

"Ah! Help! It bit off one of my hands!"

...

Su Lie felt his scalp tingle as he listened.

These were not the pleas for help from Survivors.

But the lures of Mist Monsters!

Su Lie secretly warned himself.

If he were to let his saintly heart overflow at a time like this, violating the mist rule.

It would be he himself who dies.

When dealing with the tree-man just now, he had already fallen for it.

If not for the fact that he had Enhanced Exorcism Holy Water.

At this moment, he would probably have already been contaminated and corroded.

Perhaps he would have already turned into a Mist Monster.

Whoosh!

Su Lie gripped the Wolf Fang Hammer tightly and slowly stood up.

He was already prepared to attack.

At this moment, a prompt jumped into his line of sight.

[The Shelter's Exorcism Rune has successfully driven away the Mist Monsters!]

Looking at the prompt.

Su Lie found that although the pleading voices outside the door continued to ring out, they were some distance away from the house, and the sound was much quieter.

Unlike before.

It was like they were shouting right in his ear.

"It seems that the Shelter's Exorcism Rune also takes time to take effect! Before that, if I were accidentally deceived, I would be the one who dies!"

Su Lie put down the Wolf Fang Hammer, took the chestnuts, and walked to the fireplace.

Whoosh!

He sat in the pile of sedge grass and found a comfortable position to lie down.

Su Lie did not Enhance the chestnuts, but instead opened the Chat Channel.

[Current number of Survivors: 80.1 billion]

"Hiss! How long has it been? Nearly ten billion Survivors have died! This death probability is just too high, isn't it?"

Su Lie sucked in a cold breath.

This was something he hadn't imagined.

Very quickly, the chat page appeared before his eyes...
