Those who reincarnate must die.

Since the area had just been cleared and there were no more threatening monsters, the two quickly arrived at the foot of the cliff that Zhang Lang had just seen.

Zhang Lang looked up and saw a small platform, about three meters square, about thirty meters above the ground, covered with a thick layer of snow. From a distance, it looked like a protruding rock. But upon closer inspection, the structure of the snow resembled a small house… or more precisely, the foyer of a luxurious villa, while the main body of the villa was buried within the cliff face…

Whatever it is, let's go up and take a look!

"Wait for me here!" Zhang Lang ordered, then leaped onto the platform with his toes touching the ground.

Once inside, it was clear that there was a tall door, though it was covered in snow, the handle still revealed a gleaming metallic sheen...

Zhang Lang frowned, reached out and grabbed the handle, opened the door, and went inside...

Thunder below hadn't initially noticed the mystery on the stone platform, but now, seeing Zhang Lang open the door and go in, he was startled and had an urge to follow and see... However, considering the difficulty of the third floor and the potential dangers, this hero-level fighter hesitated and obediently waited in place...

Zhang Lang entered the small house and found that it was more spacious inside than outside. In the middle was a rectangular wooden table, and behind the table sat an old woman wearing a long robe embroidered with intricate magic patterns and a pointed hat. She was leaning on the table with her elbows and smiling at him.

"Welcome, traveler from afar!" the old woman said in a hoarse voice. "Are you looking to buy some supplies, try your luck, or challenge yourself?"

Zhang Lang raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

The old woman chuckled and said, "First-time travelers are always confused like this... but you are all very clever, you'll understand soon enough!"

"You've triggered a hidden event!" the virtual voice reminded Zhang Lang in his mind. "This is a small perk offered by the altar to those undergoing reincarnation. The deeper you go, the higher the probability of encountering it! Just look at the services it provides!"

Zhang Lang nodded: "What kind of supplies are there?"

"I have everything you can think of!" the old woman said, handing over a small booklet. "Even goods that don't belong to this world!"

Zhang Lang opened the package and looked through it. It turned out to be the regular items that could be exchanged at the altar, such as ordinary firearms, various potions and standard ammunition, etc. The prices were similar to those at the altar. Zhang Lang even saw Tiger Roar bullets among them, which could be replenished for ten gold coins...

"It seems this is a supply point for the altar, so it can only accept special gold coins that can be taken away from here!" Xu explained. "After all, there are nine levels of the underground palace, and the mission can only last for more than twenty days. Except for a few reincarnators with unlimited ammo, most people's supplies won't last long. Without this kind of supply station, they'll probably either have to stay on the surface or have to fight the monsters with melee weapons and their fists!"

"But you have an endless supply of ammo, so there's nothing to worry about."

Zhang Lang nodded: "What do you mean by 'taking a gamble'?"

"This is interesting!" The old woman chuckled, pulling a small box from under the table. "One hundred gold coins for one draw. You can get weapons and items with random attributes. If you're lucky, you might get some really powerful equipment that's worth spending a thousand gold coins on! Of course, if you're unlucky, you might get some worthless stuff..."

"Haha! Looks like it has the Mysterious Merchant attribute!" Xu continued, "One hundred gold coins might get you a weapon or item with a thousand-point reward, or it might just be something completely useless... Based on the price of one hundred per draw, the probability of bad luck isn't just a matter of occasional..."

Zhang Lang nodded: "What about the challenge?"

"Why don't you give it a try?" The old woman seemed to want Zhang Lang to try his luck with the lottery: "The equipment I win here is for life!"

"It means you can take it out of this mission world!" the charlatan chuckled. "But that's not really appealing to you, is it?"

"I'd rather take a look at the challenge," Zhang Lang insisted.

"Alright then..." The old woman put away the lottery box with some disappointment. "But I must warn you, once this challenge begins, it won't stop unless you succeed or die!"

As she spoke, she pulled a magic wand from her wide sleeve, turned to the side, and pointed to the wall behind her. The previously solid brick wall suddenly revealed a spacious doorway.

"Once you cross this door, you can enter the arena, where a monster of the same level as the lord of this floor awaits... You must go alone; you cannot bring companions. If you win, the rewards will be very generous!"

"This is it!" Zhang Lang raised an eyebrow. "I love challenges!"

"Alright then!" The old woman flicked her wand, and the door behind her slowly opened. "Good luck!"

Zhang Lang walked past the old woman and entered through the open door.

total darkness.

Zhang Lang's piercing eyes shone brightly as he saw inside a hemispherical space with a radius of about twenty meters. At the very top of the dome in the center hung a huge chandelier.

As Zhang Lang was observing, the chandelier suddenly turned on, its blinding light illuminating the entire area...

Zhang Lang subconsciously shielded his eyes with his hand, and then heard a rumbling sound of stones grinding together in front of him. Looking up, he saw a huge cave in the opposite wall, from which a pungent, fishy smell wafted.

Then, a huge claw stretched out, grabbed the edge of the cave, and with a slight exertion of its fingers, crushed the hard rock wall, while pulling out a huge, powerful body from behind...

This is a humanoid creature that is over three meters tall and has dark gray skin.

Compared to humans, its body is somewhat thin, its limbs appear longer, its back is slightly arched, and it has seven conspicuous red spots on its chest. Its hands are unusually large, with sharp claws at the tips of its fingers. Its legs are like those of an animal, with extremely long feet and its hind heels raised high, touching the ground only with its toes.

The most ferocious and terrifying feature was its head. Its bald skull was high and prominent, with sharp cheekbones, long pointed ears, a protruding snout, and a mouth that split open all the way to the base of its ears. A long, blood-red tongue licked its jagged teeth, and a pair of small, blood-red eyes stared fiercely at Zhang Lang…

"It looks like some kind of demi-human monster..." Xu warned, "Although it looks ordinary on the surface, since it's said to be a monster that's no less powerful than the lord of this floor, it must have some extraordinary abilities. We'd better be careful..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Lang had already raised his hand. At the same time, the monster dozens of meters away suddenly had its head explode, and its corpse fell to the ground...

"Alright..." Xu sighed, "Even at its strongest, it's only at the third level. My worries were unnecessary..."

"Huh?" Zhang Lang was taken aback. "Why aren't there any attributes?"

"That shouldn't be the case..." Xu also said with some doubt, "If it's a monster comparable to a third-level lord, it should definitely be stronger than the giant lizard on the previous level. Killing it with Heavenly Punishment should have given it an attribute!"

"Wait a minute..." Xu suddenly realized, "There's no kill reward either! This guy isn't dead!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the monster's body began to writhe, and tendons, blood vessels, and bones began to grow from the severed opening in its neck...
