Seeing his teammates being inexplicably attacked and instantly killed, Dragon Soul Tian Ni was shocked. He immediately tightened his grip on his spear, his eyes warily scanning the surroundings.

At that moment—

Whoosh!

A mysterious shadow darted past the rear at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.

After the level 33 mage [Dragon Soul Taboo], the level 33 priest [Dragon Soul Miracle Hand] was also wiped out!

The remaining trickster [Dragon Soul Overlord] and assassin [Dragon Soul Shadow] were panic-stricken.

"Who! Who is it!"

Just as the words left his mouth—

Slash!

The trickster Dragon Soul Overlord was instantly killed.

In the blink of an eye, three people had been killed.

And without exception, all were effortlessly one-shot.

Dragon Soul Tian Ni immediately realized that the opponent's level and strength must far exceed theirs, absolutely not something he could handle at his current level.

Even now, he couldn't see where the opponent was.

Under an unprecedented fear, Dragon Soul Tian Ni frantically shouted to the surroundings, "May I ask which great master is here! Is there some misunderstanding? If I've offended you in any way, please enlighten me face-to-face!"

As soon as he said this, the opponent finally revealed themselves.

But as the price for appearing, Dragon Soul Tian Ni's last teammate, the assassin Dragon Soul Shadow, was executed!

Slash!

A hand rose and fell, blood splattering on the spot.

A young assassin, about twenty-five or six years old, with a delicate appearance, stood with one foot on Dragon Soul Shadow's corpse.

While wiping the blood off his dagger, he looked at Dragon Soul Tian Ni with a playful gaze and gave a wicked smile, saying, "You have indeed offended someone."

Looking at the unfamiliar face in front of him, Dragon Soul Tian Ni racked his brains but couldn't figure out when he had offended this level 50, sixth-transition assassin!

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

"We don't know each other, right?"

The young assassin said leisurely, "We don't know each other, but it doesn't matter."

"You know God Slayer, Moon, right?"

Hearing this name, Dragon Soul Tian Ni's heart suddenly trembled.

His thoughts flashed back to yesterday afternoon, to the scene where he almost killed God Slayer, Moon.

He immediately understood: the person in front of him was here to avenge God Slayer, Moon!

Knowing that as a mere level 35 fourth-transition knight, he was absolutely no match for this level 50 sixth-transition assassin.

To save his life, Dragon Soul Tian Ni hurriedly explained, "It's a misunderstanding, buddy! At the time, I mistakenly thought she was the one who killed my seven Dragon Soul brothers, so..."

"But... but I didn't kill her afterward!"

In an instant, the young assassin flashed from dozens of yards away to right in front of Dragon Soul Tian Ni with astonishing speed.

A hand rose and fell, knocking Dragon Soul Tian Ni to the ground, and then a foot stomped directly on his face.

The overwhelming pressure from a sixth-transition powerhouse left Dragon Soul Tian Ni with no strength to resist.

"Who gave you the courage to bully my Ranran?"

"I'm sorry! I was wrong! I... I was really wrong!" Dragon Soul Tian Ni desperately pleaded for mercy, "Great master, spare me, I won't dare again!"

"You wanted to know who I am, right?" The young assassin looked down at Dragon Soul Tian Ni under his foot and said coldly, "Remember, your daddy's ID is White Tiger! Ranked 98th on the Sky Abyss Assassin Leaderboard in the Great Xia server!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from behind, "Little Tiger, don't reveal your identity so easily."

Turning around, he saw three people had appeared behind him at some point.

They all looked about the same age as the assassin [White Tiger], but each had a distinct aura.

One of them was wearing green armor, looking mature and steady, a level 50 sixth-transition warrior: Orient Loong God!

The one who had just spoken was him.

To the left of Orient Loong God was a gentle-looking red-robed mage, also level 50 sixth-transition: Rosefinch!

To the right of Orient Loong God was an honest and simple chubby knight, level 50 sixth-transition: Basalt!

"Damn! You're always so fast!" Looking at the four Dragon Soul players' corpses lying around, the chubby Basalt couldn't help but pout, "You didn't leave any for us! Too much!"

The mage Rosefinch hugged his staff and said, "Ranran said we can't let them know who we are. Your identity is already exposed, so this person can't be left alive."

White Tiger impatiently waved his hand, "I know, I never planned to let him live."

Ignoring Dragon Soul Tian Ni's pleas for mercy, White Tiger directly slashed his throat with a "slash."

"Done!"

"These few weaklings dared to bully Ranran? They really don't know their place!"

"Let's go find Ranran! It's been a while since we've seen her, and since we're in Jiang Province, we must treat her to a feast today!"

After scouting the surroundings and finding nothing unusual, the four of them left the area.

The desolate tribe returned to silence.

Only the voice chat between Dragon Soul Tian Ni and "Brother Guan," which had never been disconnected, continued to beep...

Lv29-Lv30 Wasteland.

Killing monsters 13 levels higher really does increase experience quickly!

After a morning of hunting Venomous Scorpions, Lu Ming successfully leveled up to 18!

And the kill count had reached a thousand, completing the tenth tier of the [Hunt Venomous Scorpions] quest!

"Now at level 18 with 12% experience, I'll go back to claim the quest rewards, do another quest in the afternoon, work a bit overtime in the evening, and I should reach level 20 today."

Returning to Starlight City, Lu Ming submitted the quest to Caro, the soldier captain in the north of the city.

"Brave adventurer, wonderful! You've really solved my urgent problem!"

"This way, those scorpions won't pose a threat to Starlight City for a while!"

As Caro finished speaking, the system's pleasant notification descended from the sky.

[Ding~ Congratulations on completing the quest "Hunt Venomous Scorpions," receiving the tenth tier reward: Experience Points +420,000, Silver Coin +8, and Trickster E-level Skill Scroll: Life Barrier +1!]

As expected of a level 30 quest's tenth tier reward!

The 420,000 experience reward instantly boosted Lu Ming's experience bar from 18 level 12% to 18 level 54%!

Of course, what surprised Lu Ming even more was...

"An E-level scroll actually dropped?"

According to what Lu Ming knew, an E-level scroll valued at 20,000 RMB each had a very low drop rate, even for completing the tenth tier of a quest, at least for players below level 50!

And Lu Ming had just completed a level 30 quest and received an E-level scroll!

If Lu Ming was the only one to receive an E-level scroll reward, it might not be worth mentioning, just pure luck.

But, right after Lin Youwei also submitted her quest...

"Nether brother, I got an equipment reward, is this... a silver item?"
