Online game: Mistakenly became a female character, started by slaughtering millions of chickens.

Su Yu was unaware of the discussions behind him. As he stepped into the deep passageway, the clamor behind him was instantly shut out into another world.

The temperature here was several degrees lower than outside, but the air was filled with a sweltering, strong smell of sulfur, mixed with a lingering, rusty, bloody odor.

On the originally black rock wall, a kind of moss that emits a dark red glow grows.

These lights flickered, illuminating the entire narrow mine tunnel as if it were the throat leading to hell.

"The ambiance is quite well done."

Su Yu lowered his katana slightly, and his peach blossom eyes, which looked somewhat eerie under the red light, warily scanned his surroundings.

Rustling sounds...

Suddenly, a series of dragging footsteps came from ahead, like heavy iron boots scraping against gravel.

Immediately afterwards, several unsteady figures emerged from the shadows.

They were several miners dressed in tattered overalls, their skin a sallow gray. Almost all of them had their eyes rolled back, showing only the whites of their eyes and no pupils. They were still tightly gripping rusty iron pickaxes in their hands.

【Demonized Miner (Lv.11)】

[HP: 2800/2800]

[Characteristics: A pitiful being corrupted by dark power; attacks inflict bleeding, and upon death, a small-area corpse explosion occurs.]

"roar--!"

The moment they spotted the intruders, the normally slow-moving zombie miners suddenly let out a non-human roar and charged forward, wielding their pickaxes.

At the same time, several black afterimages sped along the ground at their feet.

【Dark Overseer (Lv.11)】!

These vicious dogs, the size of calves, were covered in bone spurs and moved with astonishing speed, almost instantly reaching Su Yu.

"A mixed doubles match right off the bat?" Su Yu sneered, advancing instead of retreating.

Narrow mine tunnels can be a nightmare for ordinary teams, as they can't form a proper formation and are easily blocked by monsters.

But for a solo-farming maniac like Su Yu, this place is a natural slaughterhouse.

Draw your sword! Slash!

brush--!

A purple, crescent-shaped blade of energy exploded in the narrow space.

Before the two guard dogs at the front could even open their mouths to bite, they were cut in half at the waist by the sharp blade.

-670 (Weakness Critical Hit!)

-530! (Critical Hit!)

Blood splattered everywhere.

Su Yu's figure moved through the blood rain like a butterfly flitting among flowers, and with the momentum of his swing, he swung his katana at the demonized miner behind him.

clang!

A pickaxe struck Su Yu on the shoulder.

-850! (Bleeding status!)

"This damage wouldn't even scratch my skin."

In order to increase damage by losing health, Su Yu didn't wear any armor at all, so he had little defense.

He glanced at the negligible number of health points lost, then unleashed a powerful backhand slash.

With a soft "poof," the demonized miner's head was instantly removed.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yu activated his ruthless bulldozer mode.

They don't care about positioning or dodging at all; they just rely on their millions of health points to withstand the monster's attacks. This is the purest form of numerical superiority.

Brush brush!

Purple blade light crisscrossed the red mine tunnels, forming a net.

Each swing takes away a large amount of health.

The corpse explosion effects that could wipe out an ordinary player's entire party were nothing more than slightly louder firecrackers in front of Su Yu, posing no threat other than getting his reddish-brown clothes dirty.

"....."

Half an hour later.

Su Yu stepped over the corpses and broken bones scattered on the ground and fought his way to the middle depths of the mine.

[Defeat the corrupted miner, experience +95.]

[Slay the Dark Overseer Hound, experience +80.]

Su Yu raised an eyebrow. "Are they really that experienced here...?"

Watching the experience bar slowly and steadily jump to Lv.9 (85%), Su Yu flicked the black blood off his blade.

"Just 15% more and I'll reach level 10."

Level 10 is a significant threshold.

This not only means that you can wear higher-level equipment, but more importantly...

The Berserker class will unlock its first core grabbing skill at level 10.

Whether it was a misperception or not, as the killing continued, Su Yu felt the berserker's blood within him becoming increasingly restless.

Every time the blade sliced ​​through a monster's veins, the sensation of blood gushing out ignited a burning desire in his right palm.

It was as if a force wanted to break through the skin and directly grab and plunder the enemy's life essence.

"This feeling..."

Su Yu looked down at his slightly reddened right palm, lost in thought:

"Is this a sign that the skill tree is about to unlock?"

[The Bloodthirsty Hand].

This is one of the most iconic skills of a Berserker before they change jobs.

It can forcibly pull and grab enemies, and spray blood energy to cause terrifying burst damage.

"It seems this trip will not only yield treasure, but also unlock some new skills."

Su Yu clenched his fist, enjoying the feeling of being filled with power.

He raised his head and looked ahead.

At the end of the mine tunnel stood a massive black iron gate, five meters high.

The gate was carved with hideous demon reliefs, and a dense, almost impenetrable aura of darkness seeped out from the cracks.

Even from this distance, Su Yu could feel the chilling pressure emanating from behind the door.

That place is the corrupt altar that Hamu spoke of.

It's also the lair of the boss carrying the treasure, the Dark Overseer Karl.

Su Yu took a deep breath of the sulfurous air, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"Boss, I'm here to pick up some goods."

He stepped forward, placed his hands on the cold, black iron gate, and slammed them together.

Rumble—!

The long-sealed door slowly opened.

As the black iron gate, carved with grotesque demon reliefs, was slowly pushed open, a stale and extremely pungent stench of blood rushed out.

A system notification sounded in Su Yu's ear:

[WARNING: You have entered a special hidden instance—the Fallen Altar!]

[The current area is extremely dangerous. Players, please proceed with caution!]

Su Yu waved his hand to disperse the swirling dust in front of him and looked up.

This is a huge underground cavern, with torches burning with eerie green flames sticking out of the surrounding rock walls, making the whole space look like a ghostly realm.

In the center of the cave stands an altar made of countless bones.

Around the altar, dozens of demonized miners, like walking corpses, carried the bodies of various unknown creatures, seemingly performing some kind of evil sacrificial ritual.

At the very top of the altar, a massive black shadow stood with its back to the gate, emitting a thunderous roar.

It looked like a giant humanoid monster that was at least three meters tall.

He was shirtless, dragging a four-meter-long black leather whip covered in barbs and dried blood.
