Chapter 23

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Bai Han and Lin Yuwei hugged each other tightly, and a huge crystal hole appeared in the head and front of the antlion guard in front of them!

What was even more remarkable was the disappearance of all the sand in the surroundings, revealing countless destroyed nests. In essence, the only antlion left in the world was the massive Antlion Guard before them.

Ordinary ant lions were no longer visible.

Without hesitation, the duo retrieved their RPG rocket launchers, which they were hesitant to use earlier.

“We only have one missile left. Are you sure you want to do this?”

“Then tell me, if not now, then when? Hurry up and fire!”

“Boom!”

With a resounding “Boom!” each of them launched their final RPG.

“Boom!”

After two loud booms, the antlion guard in front of them collapsed.

Bai Han and Lin Yuwei quickly separated and prepared to use the last round to kill the guard.

“Hiss hiss-!”

As they contemplated their next move, a familiar voice echoed in the distance. It was clear that the giant spider they had encountered earlier had not been killed, only subdued.

“Get out of the way!”

With its crippled body, the spider charged toward the antlion guard as if protecting its mate. The group could see that the glands on its back were still dripping with purple blood from its core.

“Hiss-hiss-hiss-!”

This was no longer the angry and sharp voice of the spider. It sounded like it was using its last strength to bid farewell to its lover. Sanderson and Simon also put down their RPG rockets, while Bai Han and Lin Yuwei also put down their magic weapons.

“What should we do now? Kill them?”

“We learned a strict rule of war in the army, didn’t we? We must never attack anyone who has no combat power or weapons.”

Simon and Sanderson, both members of Japan’s special forces, were well-versed in their country’s famous rules of war. One of the most important rules was to never attack individuals who had no means of fighting back or any weapons. The two monsters in front of them were clearly incapacitated and posed no threat.

However, as they surveyed the area, it became evident that the two monsters were only responsible for guarding this particular location and they had likely not yet discovered the true antlion nest.

To prevent any future problems, they decided that they had no choice but to destroy the nest.

“Roar ~~”

“Hiss ~~”

The two monsters made one last sound at the same time and did not

move again. At this time, the system also sent good news that the mission was completed.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission!]

[Mission reward has been issued!]

[Successfully obtained Legendary skill!]

[Legendary Skill – Magical Eye: After activating the skill, you can see through any disguise, and after activating the skill, you will definitely not be confused by any illusions. This skill has a permanent passive effect. It can detect the movement of invisible units or creatures in the underground water!]

[Successfully killed Legendary monster — Antlion Guard! Obtained 5000 EXP. Killed monsters above your level. Obtained double EXP!]

The two of them instantly gained 10,000 experience points! Their level instantly soared to Level 13! It seemed like they were about to become the most powerful mages in this place.

Thud!

A myriad of equipment and bonus items dropped beside the defeated monsters. Given that the two special forces soldiers had contributed to the fight, they could also make use of the spoils.

“Let’s take stock of our equipment here. Your gear should be nearly depleted,” Bai Han suggested, turning to the soldiers. They were under no obligation to tag along with them. In fact, they could head back to the Initial Mystic Realm’s forest directly.

Since the mission rewards would be the same whether they were achieved solo or as a team, it was up to Bai Han and Lin Yuwei to decide if they wanted to team up with the soldiers. Either way, any one of them who completed the mission would mean accomplishing the mission for the entire team.

“No worries, we have Awakened Skills as well. Our firearms are basic, but the ammunition is unlimited. However, crafting advanced weapons like rocket launchers requires materials,” one of the soldiers added.

As luck would have it, the soldiers soon discovered a valuable bonus item.

[Advanced Mobile Armory: This arsenal covers the ammunition supply for all weapons. After using it once, you only need to wait for the cooldown time to resupply the next time. You can also throw any low-level firearms and ammunition fragments directly into it, reducing the cooldown time by one time.]

It was simply a blessing for the two of them!

As for Bai Han and Lin Yuwei, the props they received were equally impressive.

[Mirror of Aether: Able to directly observe the surge of magic within a 1000-yard radius, effectively predicting danger ahead.]

[Purple Vengeful Spirit Belt: When attached to the head, it can be used to cast a silencing effect when casting magic attacks. It can cause a 12-second silencing effect on any unit. It can cause a 6-second disarming effect on physical and living creatures that do not have magic attacks. The effect will be doubled according to luck value.]

[Evil Sickle: A powerful sickle with magic attack power. The first attack of this sickle can directly lock onto the opponent. The opponent will not be able to use any skills and will turn into a small animal for 10 seconds. There is a chance to double the time effect according to luck value.]

[Staff of Water and Fire: When attacking an enemy, you can switch between fire and ice attacks at will. This magic staff also has a powerful skill effect. After charging for three seconds, it can directly shoot fire and ice at the enemy! It will increase the area or intensity of the sweep according to the luck value.]

Their luck had increased to 90, increasing their chances of obtaining loot. Nonetheless, luck was only a probability and bravery in battle remained their top priority.

Their next battle lay straight ahead of them – the final lair of the antlions!
