Those who reincarnate must die.

On the city walls of Star City, the soldiers on night duty yawned, feeling increasingly sleepy...

The daytime battle had been so intense that the soldiers assigned to the night watch had only recently woken up and were still feeling drowsy. But suddenly, a flash of light appeared on the southern horizon!

"What's that?" The sudden light startled the soldiers guarding the city, who were almost asleep. They looked at each other, wondering what was happening. But before they could react, a sandstorm blew in from the horizon and arrived in an instant, crashing against the city walls. Dust flew everywhere, and several soldiers on the walls were blown away...

Once everything had settled, a rumbling explosion slowly echoed through the air...

This series of events also woke up the people of the entire city. Lord Lin didn't even have time to put on his clothes, so he came out wearing only what he had on. The Dugu siblings also rushed to the city wall and looked into the distance...

In the pitch-black night sky, a dark cloud was faintly visible...

"That direction is marked on the hunter's map!" Dugu Lan exclaimed in surprise, "Could something have happened at the insect hive?"

"I hope not..." Dugu Chen shook his head and said, "If the insect hive harbored such immense power, our city would probably have been wiped out long ago!"

…………

At this moment, the explosion site, hundreds of kilometers away, was completely shrouded in thick smoke and heat. The insect swarm that had once surrounded the epicenter had vanished, replaced by a hemispherical crater several kilometers in diameter. The surrounding soil, mountains, and rocks all seemed to have been neatly sculpted, perfectly conforming to the spherical outline of the epicenter. However, the lava still dripping from the edges told the story that the culprit behind this spectacle was the intense heat generated by the explosion…

"Cough cough cough..."

From this hell of thick smoke and lava, the sound of human coughing suddenly rang out...

Before long, a man, his body charred black, emerged from the pit, step by step, his feet sinking into the scorching lava… With each step, chunks of charred charcoal crumbled from his joints, revealing new, steaming skin beneath. When he was completely out of the pit and out of the light of day, the charcoal from his shoulders, elbows, hips, knees, and ankles had all fallen away. The man raised his hand and slammed it against his chest; a powerful crack shattered the charred charcoal, revealing his naked body beneath…

Looking up at the night sky, half of which was obscured by thick smoke, Zhang Lang let out a long sigh of relief.

He once thought that being knocked unconscious by a single punch from the golden-eyed Chen clan hero was the closest he had ever come to death... But now, that record has been broken...

Just now, at the moment of the explosion, at the most intense instant, the indestructible body's death resistance was triggered...

This also verifies the specific effect of death resistance; it doesn't just block one attack, but rather maintains a brief state of invincibility...

Of course, this specific time will most likely be extended based on the increase in earth attribute. Currently, it seems to be around two or three seconds...

It was those two or three seconds that allowed Zhang Lang to survive the most intense moment that could have annihilated him!

As for the subsequent high temperatures and heatwaves, they survived thanks to their other attributes and abilities...

Without a doubt, such power must be a level 5 weapon, and definitely of extremely high quality! But how did a level 5 weapon get into a level 1 world?

"The altar has those enhancements that can lower the weapon's restriction level!" Xu Zai Zhang Lang thought to himself. "To lower a level five weapon to level one, it probably requires a unique level of fire enhancement! It'll probably detonate as soon as that four-legged lizard dies! He knows you, and he even sent a swarm of insects to attack Star City; this is clearly a trap aimed at you!"

"Why?" Zhang Lang frowned. "You went to all this trouble just to kill me?"

"What do you think?" Xu's tone surprisingly carried a hint of pride: "You killed four of their heroes a few months ago, and this time you destroyed more than a dozen insect hives in just a few days. Such top-tier experts must have more than one unique enhancement, and may even have an unprecedented ultimate move. If we can take them down with just one bomb, we've actually made a profit!"

"So, I'm not strong enough!" Zhang Lang sighed. "A single bomb forced me to reveal my trump card!"

"With that kind of power, most people would be finished even if they were grazed, let alone hit the heart!" Xu comforted, "Don't underestimate yourself!"

"I understand!" Zhang Lang looked at his naked body. His clothes, ammunition pouches, and the Hunter were all gone in the explosion... In an explosion like that, nothing could be preserved...

But at least he resolved this crisis. However, how many more nests of the Si tribe still lurk in the vast Jiangnan region remains unknown...

However, he didn't have much time left. Zhang Lang climbed out of the pit and headed towards Star City.

On the way, he passed by the citadel again, only to find that the million-strong insect army that had been resting there had been awakened by the explosion. However, because they couldn't receive information from the main hive, they went into chaos and almost destroyed the citadel...

Zhang Lang plunged headlong into the chaotic swarm of insects. A moment later, he was wearing a coarse cloth garment he had found in a collapsed house, and dragging half of a purple-gold war insect in his hand. Judging from the neat cut, it was naturally the result of the Divine Weapon Hand technique...

Clothes are for covering one's shame, but what about this half-insect? Zhang Lang directly dug out a piece of fresh insect meat from the cut and stuffed it into his mouth... He had exhausted a lot of energy surviving the explosion, and the military rations had all burned away along with the ammunition pouches, so he could only eat some insect meat to fill his stomach.

When he returned to Star City, the city was in chaos, and the people were terrified. Lord Lin and the Dugu siblings led the soldiers to restore order, but the entire city was shrouded in panic.

Zhang Lang couldn't interfere with this matter, so he went directly to the leader, the Dugu siblings. The siblings were overjoyed to see the hunter return: "Are you alright?"

"What's wrong?" Zhang Lang raised an eyebrow.

"That fire...explosion..." Dugu Lan pointed south, stammering slightly.

"You even saw this much?" Zhang Lang took a deep breath. "It seems its power is indeed considerable..."

"Didn't it hit you?"

Zhang Lang was unwilling to elaborate: "I escaped beforehand... I told the people that the fire was from an explosion that destroyed the insect nest!"

"What?" The Dugu siblings were taken aback. "You mean, it's safe here?"

"For now!" Zhang Lang nodded. "I'll leave the publicity to you guys. I want to rest."

Zhang Lang has barely slept these past few days, constantly on the move, hunting, and then getting hit by such a huge bomb. After six days, even an iron man like him must be exhausted.

"Ah...okay..." Dugu Chen said to his sister, "Take him to Lord Lin and arrange accommodation for him!"
