Those who reincarnate must die.

As the flames flickered, figures appeared one by one on the altar…

Fang Tianhua, Le Xinyi, Ye Peng, Liu Mofei, Liu Xingwei, Su Mingda, Wang Chufeng, Lin Yiming, Luo Zhonghua...

"Thank God, it's all over..."

Su Mingda and Wang Chufeng collapsed to the ground, while Luo Zhonghua leaned against the torch pillar, panting heavily. Lin Yiming sighed deeply, supporting his knees; even with his young body, he could hardly withstand the torment of the past few days.

In contrast, the veterans were much calmer, but they were all physically and mentally exhausted.

"By the way, where's the hunter?" Le Xinyi's gaze swept across the altar, not seeing Zhang Lang, but instead spotting a slightly unfamiliar figure...

"Who?" Yue Xinyi warily raised her bow and arrow, and the others also prepared for battle...

According to the rules, weapons of level two or below can be used inside this altar. Although you can be healed immediately by using the altar if you are injured here, it will cost you points!

By the light of the altar fire, Fang Tianhua could make out the man's features and frowned: "You are... the Hunter?"

Everyone was startled upon hearing this. Looking closer, they saw that the man was completely naked, his skin incredibly thin, as if devoid of fat, revealing every muscle fiber and bulging vein beneath—more exaggerated than a bodybuilder's. Only his facial features and robust physique still allowed them to discern Zhang Lang's appearance…

"What's wrong with you?" Le Xinyi asked with concern, but her eyes unconsciously drifted downwards, and then she blushed and turned her head away.

Ye Peng walked over and blocked her way: "Xinyi, listen to your brother, we won't watch, it's an eyesore!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Who saw it?!" Ye Peng's directness made Le Xinyi even more embarrassed!

Zhang Lang seemed not to hear them and walked to his torch, spending five cents to exchange for a loose-fitting set of clothes.

Fang Tianhua said, "Now that he's back at the altar, he should be fine, but the amount of fat applied was a bit excessive."

"The price of killing the Insect King..."

After putting on his pants, Zhang Lang finally replied that in order to fight the acid, his skin had been corroded away, and his stored energy and nutrients had been largely consumed, with almost all of his fat depleted, which was why he had become this grotesque figure...

"So you really killed the Insect King?!" Lin Yiming exclaimed excitedly, his face full of admiration. "I knew it! That's why the insects suddenly went into chaos at the end. If they hadn't, our bridge-bombing operation wouldn't have gone so smoothly!"

"Blow up the bridge?" Zhang Lang frowned, glancing back at them. "You blew up the bridge spanning the river?"

"Otherwise, how do you think the mission was completed!" Wang Chufeng sneered.

"Even if you kill the Insect King, the insects will still swarm and run along the bridge to Jiangnan! If we hadn't finally convinced the Marshal to use all the explosives to destroy the bridge, the main mission would have failed long ago!"

"Ugh, if we'd known blowing up the bridge would have solved the mission, we would have blown it up on the third day when we invented gunpowder!" Su Mingda shook his head and said, "Why did we have to go through all this trouble?"

"That won't work!" Fang Tianhua shook his head. "Have you forgotten the insects' evolutionary abilities? If we leave the bridge open, they'll still launch a fierce attack on the fortress, but if we blow it up, they'll be cornered and start swimming! We won't be able to defend against that! Blowing up the bridge is indeed an important means of completing the mission, but it can only be done on the last day!"

"Looking back now, the tasks at the altar were truly interconnected!"

Le Xinyi nodded and analyzed:

"To complete this mission with full manpower, we first need to gain the trust of the higher-ups, then obtain intelligence and resources to invent gunpowder, hold off the insect swarm until the last day, and finally blow up the bridge to complete it! If we fail at this step, the rest of the mission cannot be completed..."

"Of course, there are shortcuts!" Fang Tianhua looked at Zhang Lang: "Like directly taking down the Insect King! But that's too difficult!"

One-line comment: You're not here to complete tasks, you're here to rack up points, aren't you...?
