Those who reincarnate must die.

Chapter 240 The Hunter

As soon as Fang Tianhua finished speaking, several screams came from the darkness, followed by the sound of teeth grinding into flesh and bone, accompanied by the low growl of some unknown creature...

Everyone was terrified by the eerie sound and stopped running away, staring in horror at the darkness.

"What's inside?" Zhang Lang wondered, only to receive a four-word answer: "Dark Beasts!"

"Help...help me..."

A faint sound came from the darkness, and then a newcomer who had just run in slowly crawled into the firelight. This guy was strong, wearing a tracksuit, and had a buzz cut. He was the first one to wake up!

However, he was now covered in blood, and his legs had disappeared below the knees. The wounds looked as if they had been bitten off by a huge wild beast, which was extremely tragic.

"Help me... there are... monsters inside..." the man in the tracksuit cried out to the reincarnators.

Everyone was stunned. Only one young boy ran over, grabbed the injured man's hand and pulled him back. But after taking only two steps, a blood-stained purplish-red tongue suddenly emerged from the darkness and wrapped around the injured man's waist!

In the firelight, the tongue hissed and emitted white smoke. With a sharp pain, the tongue pulled the injured man back, taking the boy with it!

At the critical moment, Zhang Lang rushed forward and pulled the boy back, but the half-eaten body had already been dragged into the darkness...

Immediately afterwards, the sound of chewing flesh came from the darkness, which frightened the boy so much that he hurriedly retreated and fled back to the area illuminated by the firelight.

"What on earth is that...?" Even the seemingly calm Shang Xue trembled slightly. "A monster like that is lurking in the darkness?"

Fang Tianhua frowned and said:

"The altar is merciless. No one knows the names of those monsters, or even their full appearance. All that is known is that these monsters are incredibly powerful, and only the light of torches can subdue them! However, if they are stained with human blood, they gain a certain resistance to firelight, which is why that tongue could extend in. Therefore, venturing into the darkness will not only kill you but may also endanger others!"

"What a pity, the best newcomer, gone just like that..." Liu Xingwei, standing to the side, looked very regretful.

"Then we have no way to fight them?" Liu Mofei looked at his weapon rack. "Even the weapons from the altar can't kill those monsters?"

"I've never heard of anyone being able to kill them..." Fang Tianhua shook his head, pursing his lips. "Besides, the weapon level restriction here at the altar is level two. You can pick up high-level weapons but can't use them. The most powerful weapons you can use are things like homemade explosives and bolt-action rifles. You expect to deal with them with those?"

Liu Mofei shuddered and shook his head.

Fang Tianhua snorted coldly, took a step forward, and loudly addressed the newlyweds:

"Now do you believe it? Monsters and supernatural phenomena exist in this world. To survive, we must unite and complete the tasks issued by the altar. Once we've come here, we are all reincarnators; either we'll be trapped in an endless cycle of reincarnation, eventually sacrificing our lives, or we'll fight hard, accumulate enough points, and leave the altar!"

This time, the newlyweds dared not object and followed Fang Tianhua's instructions, trembling as they introduced themselves. Fang Tianhua then took out a notebook and wrote them down one by one.

When it was Zhang Lang's turn, he didn't give his real name: "I'm a student, just call me Hunter!"

The reason he didn't mention his name was because Zhang Lang remembered that the group of Chen Clan pursuers knew his name. If he used his real name during the altar mission and it got out, it might attract those guys' attention...

He will seek revenge, but not now!

Fang Tianhua gave him a special look: "There are quite a few people in the altar who don't give their real names and only use nicknames, but not many newbies do that... You were very decisive when you made your move, and your skills are quite good. Have you been trained?"

"Just a hobby!" Zhang Lang's answer was still brief. Fang Tianhua smiled and nodded, without asking any further questions.

As for the others, they came from all walks of life, including housewives, office workers, students, and the unemployed—in short, ordinary people you could see anywhere…

As soon as Fang Tianhua finished his calculations, flames rose from the center of the altar, and the mission was announced!

Mission Name: Defend Jiangnan

Weapon level: Melee weapon

Main Mission: Defend Sunset Fortress for six days (144 hours). Failure occurs if enough enemies cross the bridge into Jiangnan. Armament Restriction: Melee weapons only.

Mission Rewards: Main missions are worth a maximum of 500 points, awarded based on contribution and participation. Killing enemies will grant kill rewards!

Mission Mode: Regular Mission (No other Altar Reincarnators can enter)

…………

Below the text description, a three-dimensional topographical map of the fortress appears. The entire fortress is built with its back to the water, with a towering semi-circular city wall to the north and a rushing river to the south. A bridge spans the river, and the northern end of the bridge is enclosed within the semi-circular city wall of the fortress... It is more like a bridgehead than a fortress.

To the north lies a vast, open plain. It seems the key to defending the bridge is preventing the Sunset Fortress from breaching. I wonder what kind of military force we'll face! But in a war of this scale, a few dozen reincarnators can only play a truly limited role…

"If you can only use melee weapons, then you're basically armed to the highest level, aren't you?"

Upon seeing this, Liu Mofei immediately frowned and pulled out a pistol: "Last time I only exchanged for guns, I didn't expect this time it's a level one weapon restriction..."

"It's alright!" Yue Xinyi came up to comfort her, "Since it's a city defense, there must be plenty of weapons inside. We can just use what we already have!"

"This doesn't make sense..." Fang Tianhua frowned. "If it's a restriction on level one weapons, just say level one. Restricting melee weapons? I've never seen this kind of wording before!"

"Isn't it the same?" Liu Mofei asked curiously.

"Of course they're different!" Shang Xue retorted from the side.

"Some sword enhancements with a thousand-point reward will lower the weapon's level. For example, a pistol that should be level two might become level one with a thousand-point reward, but that wouldn't meet the restrictions for melee weapons, so it can't be brought in! Therefore, the restrictions for this mission should be even stricter than level one! And there might be some deeper meaning behind it..."

"Stop thinking about it! Let's prepare for the mission!" the tall and handsome Ye Peng urged.

"If you still have points and credit left from last time, hurry up and redeem some handy melee weapons for self-defense!"

Xu had previously told Zhang Lang that the points earned at the altar could not only be exchanged for a thousand-point reward, but also for a small amount of points to exchange for some regular weapons, equipment and items, such as ordinary firearms, food, and even money and valuable items, etc.

However, these items have limited power and no special effects, and the most expensive one is no more than 100 points; and each mission cycle, in addition to the 1,000-point reward, only a maximum of 300 points can be spent!

As they spoke, the six veterans opened the weapon racks in their respective sectors, which were filled with various equipment, presumably all of which they had exchanged for previously.

The newlyweds followed suit, but the weapon rack they opened was empty; there was nothing there.

According to the rules, it takes about half an hour from the time the task is posted to the final teleportation. During this time, experienced players prepare, but are newbies just supposed to stand there?

Fang Tianhua looked at it, clapped his hands, and said:

"Since this is your first time entering the altar, you don't have any points yet. If you need weapons, you can borrow them from the altar on credit! Just go to the monkey statue in the middle to apply for a loan. You can borrow up to 100 points, but you'll have to repay double after completing the mission. The altar will deduct it from your earnings first! Although the interest is high, I recommend that you borrow some points first, otherwise it's too dangerous to enter the mission world empty-handed!"
