With a starting talent that's practically top-tier, even an old man can go against the heavens!

"Health points +200... I wonder what the effect will be..."

Although he was very excited inside, he remained as calm as a rock on the surface.

You'll find out when you exit the game.

At this moment, several lights appeared where Modo had fallen, one of which was a dazzling purple.

"A purple item dropped!"

Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow and stepped forward to pick up the item.

[You have obtained the purple-grade item, the Shadow Staff!]

[You have obtained the blue equipment [Steel Ring] and [Dark Gauntlets]!]

[You have obtained 4 white-grade items!]

[You have obtained the skill book [Split Arrow]!]

[You have obtained the quest item [Messenger Ghost]!]

At this moment, Lu Ziming and the super dad walked over.

"I have to say, sir, you're too awesome! You just died like that, a level 20 bronze boss?"

Lu Ziming and his companion considered many possibilities.

Pulling the kite, using the terrain, etc.

But what I didn't expect was that they would directly confront each other and kill each other by inflicting damage.

This is too exaggerated!

How long did it take?

30 seconds?

20 seconds?

They only saw the old man unleash a few skills before the BOSS fell down!

That's 10 HP!

Their reconnaissance skills were crystal clear.

"This old man is getting more and more perverted..."

Lu Ziming felt a sour taste in his mouth and thought to himself.

Chen Beixuan ignored him and instead displayed several pieces of equipment.

[Shadow Staff]: Level 20 Purple Epic

Effect 1: Magic Attack +260

Effect 2: Intelligence +45

Effect 3: Magic Attack +20%

"They're all level 20 equipment, so I'll pick one first."

"I need the weapons and gauntlets; the rest are yours."

Chen Beixuan made the assignments and then looked to the two men for their opinions.

Lu Ziming quickly waved his hand to refuse: "No, sir, please take them all."

"We didn't contribute anything, how can we accept equipment?"

"Besides, you were just helping me with the task, so I shouldn't have taken it."

Chen Beixuan nodded upon hearing this, feeling very gratified.

Then he turned to look at the super dad and raised an eyebrow.

“My thoughts are the same as his, you can take them all.”

Upon seeing this, the super dad quickly raised his hand in agreement.

"I feel so embarrassed by you two doing this..."

Chen Beixuan casually put the equipment into his backpack and said apologetically.

Lu Ziming and his companion both had a row of black lines appearing on their foreheads, somewhat speechless.

He said he was sorry, but his hands moved faster than anyone else's.

Just as they were mentally complaining, something was suddenly stuffed into their hands.

They looked down and saw a steel ring and a staff of the dead!

"Grandpa, you..."

"Take it. We can't have come all this way for nothing. Besides, I don't need it anymore."

Chen Beixuan equipped the Shadow Staff and gauntlets, then said with a smile.

"Grandpa, you're so kind..."

Lu Ziming held his hands to his chest, his eyes sparkling.

"Stop dawdling and hurry up and hand in the mission. It's almost time."

Chen Beixuan didn't want to talk to him and turned to leave.

After defeating the BOSS, a teleportation array appeared in the center of the arena.

He speculated that Modo was using the teleportation array to send monsters out, and that this was the root cause of the monster siege.

Judging from the BOSS introduction, the Dark Swordsman should be with him.

Now that Mordo is dead, the Dark Swordsman is nowhere to be seen.

The final task for Lu Ziming's job change quest is to kill the Dark Swordsman.

He hasn't forgotten that.

But...where can the Dark Swordsman go?

As he walked, something suddenly occurred to him.

The boss dropped a quest item, but he hadn't had time to check it yet.

He opened his backpack to check the props.

[Messenger Ghost]: Quest Item

Description: The information inside requires a special method to extract; giving it to the mayor will bring unexpected surprises.

------

"The clues to the Dark Swordsman should lie within these clues..."

Chen Beixuan put away the props and led the two onto the teleportation array.

......

Monte, the border of darkness.

Several guards formed a circle, ready for action.

Standing among them were the town mayor's men who had sent Chen Beixuan and his group into the shadows.

He crouched down and touched the black ash on the ground with his finger.

He then put it to his nose and smelled it, frowning slightly.

"Are other places the same as here?"

"Same here, all those monsters suddenly turned to ashes without any warning."

One of his subordinates stepped forward to reply.

He nodded and smiled upon hearing this.

"Hmm...this is good news. Don't let your guard down. I'll go report to the mayor."

"Yes."

Just as the mayor's men were about to leave, the surrounding soldiers suddenly exclaimed in surprise!

"Oh no! Another monster has appeared!"

"Be on guard! Be on guard!"

The guards stood in neat rows, their iron swords drawn, ready for battle at any moment.

Suddenly, a blue light shone from outside the darkness, and three figures slowly emerged.

When the light faded, the guards were all stunned.

Even the mayor's men, who were about to leave, were stunned.

"...No...it's not a monster..."

"They're actually alive...the investigation team they sent out!"

"Great! They actually made it out alive!"

"A miracle! This is a miracle!"

All the guards were extremely excited, and some even covered their faces and wept.

Chen Beixuan and the other two were completely dumbfounded.

"Why are they even holding a welcoming ceremony..."

The mayor's men rushed up to them, their emotions running high.

"Have you grasped the situation inside? What are the results?"

"Let's discuss everything after we see the mayor..."

Chen Beixuan thought for a moment and then said.

"Very well, I'm sure the mayor will be very happy to hear this!"

The mayor's men smiled and then led them to the town.

It's still that same three-story building.

When Mayor Poch saw them, they were all stunned.

"You guys actually made it out alive!"

"If we're not going to live, are we supposed to die inside?"

Chen Beixuan frowned.

Pochi then realized his lapse in composure and quickly corrected himself.

"Ugh, it just feels so unreal, considering all those squads ahead of us have disappeared without a trace."

"Let's not talk about that. Tell me what information you've gathered..."

The three men relaxed slightly and then recounted the entire situation inside.

In particular, the theory that the Shadow of Darkness used teleportation arrays to transport monsters was also mentioned.

After listening, Pochi's expression turned serious.

"I never expected it to turn out like this..."

"No, this intelligence is of utmost importance. I must go to the main city to meet the city lord in person."

At this moment, Chen Beixuan took out the messenger ghost.

"Mayor, this is an item dropped when the Shadow of Darkness was killed; it may contain important information."

"The Ghost Messenger!"

Before Pochi could speak, the middle-aged subordinate suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
