Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 85 Luo Li: Get out of here, you riddle teller!
Why are there more reward points for killing the Guardian?
Confused about the situation, Manavia ordered the Death Soldier to bring back several more corpses.

The investigation revealed that the seemingly ordinary monkeys were actually wearing leather armor made of some kind of animal hide, and each one had different weapons and equipment.

Some had scabbards hanging from their waists, and some had quivers on their backs—things that weren't present on the monkey carcasses that the Death Soldier had brought back not long ago.

Damn it, the main god has a score-boosting limit, but why does a negative score also trigger the limit?
Upon guessing the reason, Manavia felt as if she had been struck on the head; her imagined beautiful future instantly turned into bubbles in the water, shattering into pieces.

To prevent the main god from further strengthening the guardians of the Amshe Oasis, Manavia had no choice but to order all the Death God soldiers to return to her side and protect her as she made her way at full speed to the pyramid where the Scorpion Emperor slept.

However, as is well known, monkeys are extremely vengeful and have a strong desire for revenge.

Although Manavia believed she had stopped in time, the monkeys who had already lost many of their companions would not give up so easily.

Whether driven by revenge or by their duty to guard the Amshe Oasis, the monkey troop has been alarmed and is emerging in droves from all parts of the oasis, swarming toward Manavia's location.

As the number of monkeys increased, so did the commotion. Manavia, realizing she was surrounded by the monkeys, was filled with regret, wishing she had gone to the pyramids immediately.

Fortunately, these monkeys were only using cold weapons.
Manavia looked at the arrows stuck in the Death Soldier's body and was glad that she had stopped her score-farming behavior in time, otherwise who knows what these guardian monkeys would have pulled out.

But immediately, as the monkeys charged with swords and spears, Manavia could no longer stop the Death Soldiers from counterattacking, because the monkeys had blocked the way, and they could not advance any further without taking action.

The only thing Manavia could do was keep the Death Soldiers under her control to prevent them from rushing into the monkey troop and wreaking havoc, thus accelerating the monkeys' evolution.

Even so, because monkeys kept dying under the scimitars of the Grim Reaper soldiers, the evolution of the monkey troop never stopped.

After the first gunshot caused the monkeys' attack to pause for a few seconds, what came out of the jungle again was not a rain of arrows, but a barrage of metal bullets.

Manavia, supporting herself against the protective shield, watched the lead bullet shatter into pieces upon impact, and inwardly cursed the entire family of the Supreme God.

Damn it, they're using firearms now. Even if it's just an old-fashioned flintlock musket, this is unacceptable.
As a reincarnator who has faced life-or-death crises multiple times, Manavia knows that this time she has no teammates to rely on and can only fight on her own.

Without further hesitation, Manavia decisively released the restraints on the Death Soldiers, allowing them to unleash their killing spree.

Then, while most of the monkey troop was distracted by the Death Soldier, she ran wildly toward the pyramid with the protective shield on her back. Manavia knew that she either entered the pyramid or died at the hands of the monkeys.

The Death Soldier she had placed her hopes on did not buy her much time before being killed by the monkey troop whose weapons had been upgraded again. Then, under the monkey troop's relentless bombardment, her protective shield flickered several times before going out.

It's almost here! There's still hope! There's still hope!

Manavia stared at the golden light ahead, her eyes fixed solely on it. The sounds of gunfire, trees cracking from bullets, and the howls of the monkeys gradually faded from her ears.

When Manavia came to her senses, she was already lying on the steps at the base of the pyramid, with the jungle and a troop of monkeys armed with long guns and cannons behind her. She was safe.
As Manavia relaxed mentally, a pain she had never experienced before surged deep within her body.

Although the pain made Namanavia want to smash her head against the pyramid, she was also filled with joy. Because she knew how she had survived—she had unlocked her genetic potential!

Once the aftereffects of unlocking the genetic lock subsided, Manavia immediately sought an entrance into the pyramid. She knew that with the genetic lock alone, she could not possibly leave the Amshe Oasis alive.

She couldn't rely on her two teammates outside either; her only hope was to awaken the Scorpion Emperor and use his power to escape.

Inside the pyramid, Manavia quickly lost her way due to the intricate network of passages. Just as she was at a loss, the golden scorpion on the Death Bracelet suddenly came to life, jumped to the ground, and quickly crawled forward. Manavia immediately followed.

Led by the golden scorpion, Manavia arrived at a golden gate, its surface adorned with scorpion-shaped reliefs, and a hole at the mouth of the scorpion. Without hesitation, Manavia extended her right arm, adorned with the Death Bracelet, through the hole.

[Side quest completed, reward: one C-rank side quest, 4000 reward points]

The next moment, the sound of the mechanism turning came from inside the door, and the door slowly opened. Manavia was overjoyed to find that the Death Bracelet was still on her right wrist.

But unlike before, Manavia had a feeling that she could remove the Death Bracelet if she wanted to, and that only she could remove it voluntarily.

Just as Manavia was considering whether or not to take off the Death Bracelet, the half-human, half-scorpion Demon Scorpion Emperor slowly walked out from inside the door. The aura he carried immediately frightened Manavia so much that she stood rooted to the spot and dared not move.

The Scorpion Emperor Massayus scrutinized the weak human who had awakened him, and when he saw the Death Bracelet still on Manavia's wrist, a hint of shock appeared on his fierce face.

Then, the Scorpion King gently lifted Manavia's right arm with his hands, which had transformed into pincers. After examining it carefully for a moment, he slowly took a few steps back and bowed to show his respect.

Manavia glanced at the Scorpion Emperor, whose attitude had suddenly changed, and then at the Death Bracelet on her wrist, feeling glad that she hadn't taken it off.

He then tentatively made a request to the Scorpion King, asking him to protect him as he left the Amshe Oasis.

The Scorpion King immediately summoned the Death Legion bestowed upon him by the God of Death, and led it out of the pyramid to Manavia's astonishment.

[Masayas, the Scorpion King, has been resurrected. Main quest changed: Prevent the arrival of *** within fifteen days. Reward for completing the quest: one B-rank side quest for all characters, 8000 reward points.]

The sudden notification from the main god caused Luo Li, who was discussing the next steps with the leader of the tomb guardians, to voice her doubts.

What the hell? The Scorpion Emperor wants to stop some kind of *** from descending upon the main god? Explain yourself! Stop being a riddle-maker!
