Those who reincarnate must die.

Under the terrifying barrage of shells, the giant spider's hard carapace on its head and chest was shattered, and splattered everywhere!

If it were truly an ordinary giant insect, even with its thickest carapace, it would still be nothing more than chitin. Under such firepower, it would be no different from being made of paper and would probably be blasted to pieces in less than a second.

But in the end, he was a powerful reincarnator in his previous life. This spider monster's physical strength was obviously beyond that of normal creatures. Thanks to its powerful size, it still maintained its body's integrity even under artillery fire. It did not fall down until Zhang Lang emptied his ammunition belt and the three cannon barrels were scorching hot!

"What a sturdy monster!"

Zhang Lang gritted his teeth and exclaimed in admiration. Just as the giant spider curled up its abdomen and sprayed a large amount of spider silk at him, Zhang Lang hurriedly dropped the hot machine gun and rolled to the side to barely dodge it!

The empty streets were ultimately better suited to his position than the obstacle-filled mansions. Although the spider king continuously spun silk, Zhang Lang dodged it all with agility and quickly retreated from the street. Strangely, the giant spider did not pursue him.

Zhang Lang leaned against the wall and peeked out. He discovered that the giant spider was standing right there on the street. If it weren't for its belly heaving as it breathed, it would probably have been mistaken for a strange statue.

What is it doing?

Zhang Lang frowned, noticing with keen insight that the blood seemed to have stopped flowing from the gaps in the spider's broken carapace...

It's healing itself!

Zhang Lang didn't know if it was a passive regeneration like his own, or an active skill that needed to be activated... but clearly, judging from the fact that it hadn't caught up, self-healing required a relatively still state, and this speed was a bit too slow...

But this can also be used!

Zhang Lang crawled back into the armory, and soon after, he appeared on the city wall carrying several cannonballs and arrived at a gun emplacement!

The fixed artillery here is much larger than rotary machine guns!

Although the rate of fire is slow, the power is hundreds or thousands of times greater!

Having been neglected for over a year and exposed to the elements, these cannons have developed some rust. However, because they were designed for open-air storage, the cannon bodies were made of a corrosion-resistant alloy and were treated with anti-rust coatings. As a result, the corrosion is much less severe than that of rifles with carbon steel barrels!

It should still work!

Zhang Lang gripped the cannon barrel with both hands and, relying on brute force, managed to twist the massive cannon, which weighed several tons and required a winch and gears to turn! The base, which hadn't been turned for a long time, also kicked up a ring of dust and rust as it rubbed against the ground, as if it were the sediment of the apocalyptic era!

Finally, with a creaking metallic sound, the cannon was turned 180 degrees and pointed into the city!

Although he had never handled such a cannon before, having experienced multiple worlds and countless battles, Zhang Lang had also touched countless weapons. He understood everything he encountered, and the relatively ancient mechanical principles of this type of weapon were immediately clear to him!

He skillfully opened the magazine, loaded the shell, manually cocked it, adjusted the angle, aimed at the enormous beast that stood still, focused on recovering, and drove the firing pin to strike the primer of the huge shell...

"boom!"

A deafening cannon shot exploded in Zhang Lang's ears! He felt the bricks beneath his feet tremble slightly, and the entire cannon visibly retreated a step before slowly returning to its original position thanks to the spring mechanism...

At the very moment the cannon fired, three legs of the large spider in the distance were suddenly severed at the root, and its entire body tilted unnaturally, startling the spider into quickly adjusting its position!

My first shot was still off target due to lack of experience. Even though it was a fixed target, it still missed and did not hit the vital point!

Zhang Lang hurriedly reloaded, but the giant spider had already suffered a severe attack and began to flee with its remaining nine legs, limping away, clearly not intending to expose itself to the dangerous muzzle again!

Zhang Lang adjusted his angle, made a prediction, aimed at the direction the Spider King was moving, stared intently at Wangshan, and waited for the Spider King to appear directly in front of him before firing again!

Boom! The cannonball roared out, covering a distance of several hundred meters in an instant, but this time it didn't even hit the Spider King. The cannonball grazed the Spider King's body and passed through the gap between a few of its legs!

Zhang Lang was still a novice after all; he was inaccurate even on stationary targets, let alone moving targets!

Zhang Lang gritted his teeth, lowered his head and picked up another shell. However, unlike the previous two, this shell no longer had a sharp tip, but was a round shell wrapped in a thin layer of lead!

That bullet actually contained countless steel balls the size of grapes!

This is a shotgun shell, also known as "Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers" in Zhang Lang's world!

Zhang Lang made a prediction once again, waiting for the limping Spider King to enter a suitable angle before suddenly opening fire!

This time, instead of high-speed spinning projectiles, they fired a shower of alloy steel balls!

A massive barrage of bullets instantly traversed hundreds of meters, enveloping the enormous spider!

The Spider King shuddered as it was struck, its body riddled with tiny bullet holes, and two of its legs were injured at the joints. Its heavy body crashed to the ground with a thud, and it fell into a powerless struggle!

Zhang Lang did not stop what he was doing. He picked up another slug, loaded it, aimed it at the huge target lying on the ground, and fired the fourth shot!

boom!

The shell struck the giant spider directly in the chest. The violent force shattered the already battered body, sending several long legs flying and shredded carapace flying everywhere.

Under such terrifying power, the giant spider finally fell silent, with only a reflexive tremor remaining.

But Zhang Lang did not stop. He reloaded his gun and bombarded the giant spider corpse repeatedly until he had used up all the shells he had brought.

His battles with the Reincarnators instilled in him a habit of finishing off corpses almost like flogging them.

"It's over!"

Finally, the voice of the void echoed in his mind:

"Your caution was correct. When its breastplate was blasted apart, the monster wasn't quite dead yet; it was trying to feign death to catch its breath, but you didn't give it the chance!"

Zhang Lang let out a long breath, gazing at the corpse that was almost completely shattered into dust from afar, without saying a word.

"Want to know how many points you got?" Xu's voice was laced with laughter, clearly in a good mood.

Zhang Lang frowned, but before he could guess, Xu had already eagerly displayed his current score!

"1548!"

Zhang Lang was taken aback and roughly calculated: "This thing is worth 803 points?" In his memory, although this giant spider was powerful, it was mainly because of its huge size. Apart from giving birth and self-healing, it did not show any special abilities. If it were to be restored as a reincarnator, it should not be as dangerous as that acidic blood monster that could spray lasers.

Xu chuckled, "Of course! What do you think made it so easy for you? That spider was preparing to evolve in its cocoon. You interrupted it, forcing it to emerge in an incomplete form, which is why you won so easily. Otherwise, I would have warned you to run at full speed!"

"Furthermore, the size of these mutated monsters is also significant. Ordinary people can basically only transform into monsters similar in size to ordinary people. To become a behemoth, either multiple people must have gathered during the mutation process, or a monster must have devoured many others when it was formed, or it must possess powerful attributes to support the burden of its enormous body and grow larger by constantly feeding after it has taken shape!"

"To put it another way, a monster that can grow to such a size must have been extraordinary in its previous life!"

"But I really didn't expect it to be worth over 800 points..." Xu chuckled. "In his previous life, he might have really been a hero! You were just lucky to catch a hero-monster in his weakened state, hahaha..."

Zhang Lang nodded: "But isn't it too much of a coincidence that there are two reincarnators in one city?"

"That's normal..." Xu smiled. "This world isn't the main world chosen by the altar. The most common way to join the altar and become a reincarnator is through an invitation from a reincarnator who comes to this world for adventure. Usually, specific conditions or special items are required to achieve this."

"If this city is the site of a mission, or even if multiple powerful teams have entered, then it's quite possible that two superhumans would be invited to the altar at the same time!"

"You've stumbled upon a city with a very high density of reincarnators!"

Zhang Lang let out a long breath and began to look south.

He had heard that the imperial capital, Shengjing, lay a thousand miles to the south. If this world had truly been visited by reincarnators more than once, then as one of the most prosperous cities in the world, Shengjing should have an even greater chance of attracting visitors!

Once he becomes stronger, Zhang Lang will definitely go to the Holy Capital to find out what's going on!

But now, it's time to take stock of what we've gained!

With over 1,500 points, Zhang Lang has another chance to draw a reward!

Without delay, he ran towards the armory while urging Xu to quickly draw the reward!

The series of cannon shots just now were quite loud and must have alerted other monsters. If there were any even stronger than the Spider King, he wouldn't be able to handle it. He needed to pack his things and run away quickly.

Just as Zhang Lang shouldered the neatly packed iron box and jumped out of the city, Xu had already completed the draw, and a new reward appeared before his eyes.

Reward Type: Blood Enhancement

Reward Name: Basic Attribute Enhancement

Effect 1: Gain 8 attribute points that can be freely allocated.

Effect 2: Gain 12 randomly assigned attribute points.

You can only choose one of the effects, effect one or effect two.

Each adventurer can obtain this enhancement a maximum of twice, and has already obtained (1/4).

Note: There is no simpler way to enhance attributes than stacking them.

…………

It was another simple and boring attribute enhancement. You can never have too many attributes, so Zhang Lang directly chose effect two and agreed.

After being randomly assigned, his new attribute points quickly appeared before his eyes.

Gold (healing, immune system): Unmeasurable

Wood (Perception Ability): 36 points

Water (reaction, calculation, memory): 47 points

Fire (Muscle Strength): 54 points

Earth (Body Strength, Energy Storage and Intake): 63 points

…………

However, the missions to kill the thousand-point guard and the hero did not change because of the deaths of these two monsters.

It seems that these two tasks require killing living reincarnators.

That's great!

Zhang Lang nodded, and without further delay, he carried the heavy iron box and ran along the road outside the city.

Soon, his more sensitive ears heard some strange noises coming from behind him. Clearly, because of the commotion just now and the death of the giant spider, some hidden things in the city began to stir!

But none of that mattered to him anymore; Zhang Lang ran off without looking back.

But he hadn't run far when a large, fiery red lizard with six thin legs suddenly appeared, hissing as it charged at him. This must have been a monster from outside the city that had been attracted by the commotion and had taken him as its prey!

Zhang Lang charged straight at the lizard, and just as they were about to clash, he suddenly slid to the side, forming a knife with one hand, and plunged it into the lizard's mouth, slicing it all the way down the corner of its mouth!

After the man and the monster passed each other, Zhang Lang continued running with the box on his back. The fire lizard had already been split open from the side, and with a large amount of blood gushing out, it collapsed and died...

The journey back was relatively smooth, except that the large iron box slowed him down. By the time he set foot on the land of Anning Town again, the sun had just set.

It's much faster than expected. He originally thought he might have to spend a night or two away, but he made the round trip in just one day.

However, this was also because he found the weapons quickly and alerted too many monsters. Thinking about all the weapons in Qingyang City, Zhang Lang felt that one trip wasn't enough; he should try to bring back as much as possible!

As the sun set, he returned to the basement, took out the tray of shells by the light of an oil lamp, modified a number of bullets, and then lay down to rest.

In the days that followed, Zhang Lang spent his time sorting out the supplies he had acquired and using his newly acquired divine weapon to process the leather he had on hand!

With his magical hands, cutting leather became so much easier. Zhang Lang's hands were harder and sharper than any scissors, and his little finger could even mimic a fine needle to make a hole...

This ability is amazing. Just like how Mingming's thick palm can cut clean cuts like a kitchen knife, his thick and strong little finger can leave a tiny pinhole on leather with a single touch!

In this way, by spinning thread from wolf skin, he was able to do relatively fine sewing! Although it was still much more troublesome than normal needlework, at least he was no longer at a loss!

He also had the bear skin tanned. In terms of material, it was stronger than that of ordinary wolf monsters, but slightly inferior to that of the black wolf monster leader. But that was normal, since the thick hide of wolf monsters was their specialty, while the giant bear's hide was only of average strength.

Then, during this time, Zhang Lang made two more trips to Qingyang City, bringing back a lot of supplies, mainly ammunition. He also took some remaining pelts from the bear carcass in Changle Village, which was not yet rotten.

Incidentally, on his second trip, Zhang Lang found even more bullets suitable for the Tiger Roar. These were incendiary rounds with a perfectly suitable caliber, originally designed for large-caliber grenade launchers. However, because the cartridge cases were the same type and the bullets were primarily flat-nosed and filled with incendiary agents, these bullets could also fit into the Tiger Roar.

These bullets have a small propellant charge, with all the space allocated to the incendiary agent in the warhead. When fired, they explode upon impact with the target, releasing liquid fire and causing extensive burns.

Zhang Lang had to thank the standardized industry of this world; as long as the cartridge case was compatible, most bullets could be used. In his experience, this would be quite difficult in many other worlds.

Amidst this busy and fulfilling time, Zhang Lang finally had his next opportunity for adventure.
