Absolute Destiny Game.

Chapter 488 Demon Buster
Canglin Prefecture - Giant Wood City.

Since the demon army flooded into various parts of Canglin Prefecture and caused chaos, the city's defenses have become much stricter. Not only are there guards on the city walls day and night, but the number of guards at the city gates has also more than doubled.

Even in broad daylight, the city gate tower was filled with guards, vigilantly watching the surrounding area of ​​the city, wary of any attacks from the demons.

"Look! Someone's approaching the city gate!" a pig-headed guard suddenly said nervously, pointing into the distance.

Another kobold guarding the city gate casually remarked, "Newcomer, don't be so nervous. We're all returning home; those monsters wouldn't dare to cause trouble in Giantwood City."

The pig-headed man looked closely and saw that they were indeed a few people returning home, riding horses and covered in blood, clearly having just come back from killing monsters outside.

Since Master Xiaoyue invited heroes from all over the world to fight against the demon army and issued a hefty reward, people from all over the world have flocked to the area, and in less than ten days, thousands of people have gathered.

These people fought with great effort, either in groups of three or five or in teams of a dozen or so, hunting down monsters from morning till night. The monster army that was originally rampant around Giantwood City was almost completely annihilated, and the situation of rampant monsters was completely suppressed.

"Someone else is coming—ah, another returning home."

The kobold glanced around casually, then suddenly perked up. "It's Lord Hidden Moon Following the Wind!"

"Brother, do you recognize that person?"

"I've never even heard of 'Hidden Wind,' you're really ignorant, kid. You stay here and keep an eye on things, I'm going down to get a good look at the master's demeanor."

As the kobold spoke, he hurriedly descended the city wall, carrying his spear.

When Xiao Jie led the group through the city gate, they were recognized by a large group of NPCs from afar.

"Ah, look! It's Hidden Moon with the Wind!"

"Hidden Moon with the Wind has arrived! We're saved now."

"Lord Hidden Moon Follows the Wind, may your martial arts prowess flourish!"

The NPCs on both sides of the street kept greeting Xiao Jie and saying auspicious words, just like celebrities.

Xiao Jie was already used to this scene.

The reason he received such treatment was because his reputation in Canglin Prefecture had reached the level of worship. Now, Xiao Jie was a star in the city, and even when buying things, small vendors would give him a big discount.

Players on the roadside also noticed this scene and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

"Wow, who is this? Such a big shot!"

"Brother Feng, you don't know? He's a super expert who can solo world bosses."

"Soloing a world boss? That's just bragging."

"Tch, you don't understand. This game doesn't have that many balance designs. As long as your skills are high enough, you can solo anything. Brother Feng is the number one player in the game."

"The number one expert? Only level 38? Are you kidding me?"

"You talk as if you're some high-ranking person."

The man retorted indignantly, "Although I'm only level 25, I've seen people over level 40—"

However, he was immediately speechless. Behind Brother Feng were several experts at level 40 or above.

Sword Saint, Martial Saint, reclusive master... Wow, what an amazing lineup!

Everyone exclaimed in amazement as they watched the group of experts speed away towards Xiaoyue Palace. There was bound to be some discussion, which would provide them with more bragging material in the future.

Xiao Jie didn't care about the stares around him. He wasn't there to show off; he was there to complete his mission.

All players who come to Giantwood City to participate in the event will receive a mission to hunt down monsters. This mission is divided into five stages, and the rewards will be greatly increased for each stage completed.

Demon Slayer: Kill 1 demon.

Monster Hunter: Kill 10 monsters.

Demon Butcher: Kill 100 demons.

Monster Reaper: Kill 1000 monsters.

Demon Buster: Slay 10000 demons. Most ordinary players can only reach the third stage; only a few top-tier players dare to push towards the fourth stage.

To complete the fifth stage of the mission, one might have to rely on the support of the guild.

However, when Xiao Jie first accepted the mission, he felt that with the team's capabilities, they could definitely challenge the fifth stage if given enough time. Sure enough, the team fought for a week and actually completed the mission while leveling up.

Upon arriving at Xiaoyue Palace, Xiao Jie led his men inside.

Having a high reputation is great; the guards didn't stop you at all. Instead, they kindly reminded you, "Lord Hidden Moon Wind, my master has gone out to battle and may not be back for a while."

"It's alright, we'll just wait a bit."

Xiao Jie wasn't in a hurry. He came to this city every day and already knew Xiaoyue Zhenren's routine. He figured he should be back soon.

Sure enough, less than twenty minutes later, a dragon's roar echoed from the sky.

Then a silver dragon flew in from the horizon, followed by thousands of Canglin Tianyu soldiers.

The silver dragon spiraled down, and riding on its head was a dashing female general in silver helmet and armor, none other than Xiaoyue Zhenren. A huge, ferocious head hung from the dragon's neck, clearly a spoil of the day.

The palace guards immediately offered their congratulations, "Wishing you, Master, a resounding victory and swift success!"

"Hahaha, a mere demon is naturally easy to capture. Today's kill went smoothly, successfully slaying a demon master. Congratulations! Arrange a banquet for me, I want to reward the meritorious soldiers."

Master Xiaoyue was in high spirits. Originally, the invasion of demons was an unsolvable problem, and the entire Canglin Prefecture was in turmoil. Unexpectedly, these returnees worked so hard that they successfully suppressed the rampant demons around Giant Wood City in less than ten days. This gave her time to make arrangements at her own pace. Now, she leads the Canglin Tianyu Army to attack small groups of demon legions every day, and has gained quite a lot in recent days.

Once the armies from other states arrive, and with the assistance of several real people, we can launch a counterattack.

He jumped off the dragon's head, threw the head of the demonic master to the guards, and told them to hang it on the city gate to boost morale.

Suddenly, he looked at Xiao Jie beside him.

"Hey, isn't this Hidden Moon with the Wind? What brings you here?"

"Master, I'm here to hand over the mission and collect the reward. My team and I have successfully completed the 'Demon Slayer' mission."

"Hahaha, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You and your companions are indeed quite capable. Then come with me. What treasure do you want? Just pick it."

According to the event description.

The Demon Hunter rewards players with white-quality equipment and items.

The Demon Killer is of green quality.

The Demon Hunter is of blue quality...

Similarly, the Demon Buster is an orange-quality treasure or item.

Because of the limited time available for the event, no one has been able to do this yet.

Xiao Jie and his group were the first to receive the reward. Normally, the reward for this mission is randomly distributed, but because Xiao Jie and Master Xiaoyue had a good relationship, they were allowed to choose freely.

This is also a great benefit of having high reputation and goodwill.

As the saying goes, the law is no different from human relationships; having connections makes things easier.

Xiao Jie led the group into the treasure vault, and at the instruction of Master Xiaoyue, the guards opened this layer of the vault.

A dazzling array of treasures.

All kinds of armor, weapons, magical artifacts, and elixirs are available.

Xiao Jie didn't even glance at the equipment; he quickly browsed through the descriptions of various equipment and items.

Finally, his gaze fell upon a strange talisman with gold lettering on a black background.

The talisman hung above a jade base, suspended in mid-air by an invisible force, emitting a faint spiritual aura, and looked quite mystical.
