Chapter 5

The ground under Qin Xiao’s feet began to tremble. The surrounding trees voluntarily retreated, leaving enough space for the battle.

“Who disturbed my Lord’s sleep!”

“Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!”

Roars rose and fell.

They were sharp and furious!

Terrifying ghoul-like monsters crawled out of the ground under Qin Xiao’s feet.

Their bodies kept emitting a faint cold aura.

Cold!

Desolate!

Ghoul—Level 1 Elite monster, Duke Slanke’s most loyal follower! Threat level is low.

“That’s interesting.”

Qin Xiao did not make a move when he saw the endless stream of ghouls.

He wanted to test the strength of the two Phantom Hunters beside him.

The ghouls seemed to sense Qin Xiao’s disdain and charged at him.

However, before they could get close to Qin Xiao, they were pierced by a magic arrow that was as fast as lightning.

Game Notification: You have killed a ghoul and received 5 Gold Coins!

The two Phantom Hunters charged at the ghouls. They were much larger than the ghouls.

With a casual wave of their saber, they could unleash a powerful might and shatter the ghouls.

The Phantom Hunters held their sabers with two hands and waved them in an impenetrable manner. With the other two hands on the bow, they cleaned up the ghouls in the distance.

You have killed a ghoul and received 5 gold coins!

You have killed a ghoul and received 5 gold coins!

…

However, the two Phantom Hunters could not keep up with the speed at which the ghouls were summoned. Soon, the two of them were surrounded.

However, Qin Xiao had no intention of attacking.

Because he knew the abilities of Phantom Hunters.

They were better than this!

Purple light accumulated on the saber and was swung out by the two Phantom Hunters.

Phantom Chop!

The huge saber beams pierced through the ghouls’ encirclement and cut them in half.

You have killed a ghoul and received 5 gold coins!

You have killed a ghoul and received 5 gold coins!

…

Dozens of ghouls were wiped out by the two Phantom Hunters.

Qin Xiao also received a large sum of gold coins.

“Roar, who is slaughtering my people!”

“Die!”

With a furious roar, violent winds rose from the forest. Fallen leaves danced like dragons and snakes. Three huge ghouls in broken armor appeared.

Ghost, Duke Slanke – Level 1 Lord monster, intermediate threat level.

Ghost, Slanke’s First Born – Level 1 Elite monster, low threat level.

Ghost, Slanke’s Second Son – Level 1 Elite Monster, low threat level.

These three Mutated Ghosts were Slanke and his two sons.

Although Qin Xiao admired Slanke after reading his story, it did not mean that he would let the three Mutated Ghosts go.

They were already dead!

These three Mutated Ghosts were not the same as before.

Besides, Qin Xiao was a demon!

In the first place, he was incompatible with Duke Slanke!

“Demon! It’s you! It’s you!”

“Return the lives of my clan!”

When Slanke recognized Qin Xiao, he immediately went berserk. The flames on the three Mutated Ghosts intensified as they charged at Qin Xiao.

The two Phantom Hunters moved in front of Qin Xiao in an attempt to block the enemy.

The bone sword in the Mutated Ghosts’ hands emitted streams of cold air, colliding with the Phantom Hunters’ long saber.

Although there were three Mutated Ghosts, the Phantom Hunters had an extra pair of hands, so they didn’t suffer too much.

However, Qin Xiao could tell that the Phantom Hunters were no match for the Mutated Ghosts.

As expected, after exchanging a few moves, both sides used their skills.

The bone swords in the hands of the three Mutated Ghosts began to emit cold air.

“Ice Breath!”

Ice Breath and Phantom Chop collided.

Purple and blue light clashed!

BOOM!

With a crisp sound, the Phantom Hunters could not withstand a single blow from the Mutated Ghosts.

The long sabers in the hands of the two Phantom Hunters were frozen and shattered by the bone swords. The remaining power hit their chests.

Although the Phantom Hunters that were sent flying were not insta-killed, their Vitality was almost depleted.

They stood up loyally and wanted to attack again.

Qin Xiao stopped them.

“That’s enough. Leave the rest to me.”

“Slanke, rest in peace. The country you once hated has long disappeared.”

Qin Xiao issued a death declaration to the three Mutated Ghosts.

Then, boundless demonic auras rose from Qin Xiao’s body.

When the smoke dissipated, Qin Xiao transformed into his true form and pressed his huge dragon claws down on the three Mutated Ghosts.

Game Notification: You have killed the Ghost Duke Slanke. Gold Coins +100

Game Notification: You have killed the Eldest Son of Slanke, Gold +50

…..

Just as the other demons were fleeing for their lives when they encountered an elite unit…

In just one move, Qin Xiao had killed three Mutated Ghosts!

One of them was even a Level 1 Lord!

Mystic Realm Lord, Duke Slanke, has died. The mystic realm has disappeared!

Reward: Bronze Treasure Chest, Duke Slanke’s Legacy

“The kingdom… has all disappeared?”

The three Mutated Ghosts shattered into starlight fragments and slowly dissipated.

Only an old bronze box was left on the spot.

“So this is a bronze treasure chest. Why does it look so tattered?”

“Open the treasure chest!”

Bronze Treasure Chest opened. Reward: Gold Coins x300, Blueprint “Undead Tomb” x1

“It’s a pity that I didn’t obtain that Ice Breath skill.”

Qin Xiao took a fancy to the icy aura of the three Mutated Ghosts attached to the bone sword. This energy could freeze and corrode everything it touched.

However, Qin Xiao was not very lucky and did not get it.

“As expected of a mystic realm. Just the gold coins alone are much more than the other areas.”

Qin Xiao did a rough calculation.

He had obtained a total of 70 gold coins from killing the Skeleton Soldiers, 150 gold coins from the ghouls, and 200 gold coins from the three Mutated Ghosts. Now that he had obtained another 300 gold coins from the treasure chest, he had earned more than 700 gold coins from this trip alone.

In addition to the 10 Phantom Laborers who were still fighting and collecting herbs, Qin Xiao’s total gold coins had reached 821!

But in the next second, this joy was diluted.

Blueprint “Undead Tomb” – Can be used to build a Level 1 building “Undead Tomb”, which can be used to summon the undead. Construction Requirements: Undead Crystal x1, Stone x30, Wood x100, Gold coins x500.

If this tomb was built, Qin Xiao would not have many gold coins left.

Should he continue to summon laborers to expand productivity or construct the new building first?

Qin Xiao hesitated.

“Aye…”

At this moment, Qin Xiao heard a lament that transcended the ages.

Looking in the direction of the voice, it was where the bronze treasure chest had appeared.

The empty treasure chest began to shake, and the gravel on the ground kept bouncing up and down.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, dust and smoke quickly spread.

Qin Xiao flapped his wings and blew away the dust in front of him. The bronze treasure chest disappeared.

What was left behind was a bottomless pit!

“What’s going on?”

Qin Xiao stared at the pit.

After a moment of contemplation, Qin Xiao transformed into his human form and shrunk his body before jumping into the deep pit.
