Those who reincarnate must die.

"This level doesn't resemble an underground palace; it's more like hell..."

After stepping through the portal, Zhang Lang heard a faint exclamation in his mind.

This layer closely matches the popular imagination of hell: a fiery red sky, scorching air, a strong, pungent smell of sulfur, barren ground, constantly erupting volcanoes, and lava rivers flowing everywhere...

Zhang Lang put down the box, touched the ground with his toes, and jumped high again, trying to grab the ceiling to check his surroundings.

But this time, he misjudged the height of the sky, jumping over 600 meters high but still not reaching the top...

With a solid foothold, 600 meters is far from Zhang Lang's limit in high jump, but unexpectedly crashing into an invisible ceiling is not a pleasant experience either, so he estimated the possible height and did not jump at full power.

But this time, even after it started falling, it didn't touch the ceiling.

Just as Zhang Lang was about to jump again, a red figure suddenly flew in from a distance!

This creature is similar in build to a human, but taller and thinner, with two curled horns on its head, a pair of fleshy wings spreading from its back, and wielding a burning steel fork as it thrusts through the air!

Upon seeing the monster, Zhang Lang remained calm, grabbed one of its horns, flipped over and mounted the creature on its back, holding onto the horns firmly with both hands.

Suddenly being ridden on the other side, the monster naturally wouldn't stand for it. It started flipping and spinning in mid-air, muttering curses under its breath.

Zhang Lang, being a language expert, naturally understood and retorted in the same language, "Behave yourself, or I'll kill you!"

The monster was taken aback: "You actually understand our demon language?"

"Enough talk, tell me, where is the most powerful monster on this floor?"

"Who do you take me for?" the monster roared. "The great winged demon warrior would never betray his lord! You damned humans should all become food for our demon race, and suffer eternally in the fires of hell!"

As he spoke, he swung the burning steel fork with his slender arm and stabbed it at Zhang Lang behind him!

Zhang Lang grabbed the steel fork and snatched it away. He extinguished the so-called hellfire with a flick of his wrist, then twisted the steel fork into a U-shape and looped it tightly around the winged demon's neck, as if he were tying a rein to it!

With his neck constricted, the Winged Demon began to struggle painfully, but he was no match for Zhang Lang. After a while, he lost his temper: "Stop this! I'll talk, I'll take you there!"

Zhang Lang then dropped the bent steel fork and grabbed the winged demon's horn: "Hurry up!"

This time, the creature learned its lesson and flew steadily. Before long, it arrived at a mountain peak that was ablaze with flames. In the center of the peak was a huge cave that was over ten meters high, with red flames rising from inside. From a distance, it looked like a giant furnace...

"That's the lair of Cerberus, the three-headed hound of hell and Naglaus, the lord of hell!!"

So that's where it was! Zhang Lang silently memorized the location, then leaped off the winged demon: "I'll spare you this time, but don't ever appear before me again!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he activated the Void Moon Stepping Technique and rushed towards the entrance.

Since he had promised to spare his life, Zhang Lang would not go back on his word, but it was only one life!

He returned to the entrance and saw his gold coin chest being dragged away by a small demon. He didn't tolerate it, so he jumped down and killed the demon. After checking that nothing was missing from the chest, he left the fifth floor and continued upwards.

When he returned to the ground, it was already late at night. Fortunately, the exchange and bank were still open.

Zhang Lang carried the hydra's gall to the exchange point, woke up the dozing staff on duty, and reported the situation on the fifth floor while exchanging the bounty.

The old scholar had already gone to sleep, but his apprentice was on duty that night. Although not as learned as his teacher, Zhang Lang had obtained more detailed information this time, including the name of Cerberus, the three-headed dog, which made it easy for him to find the corresponding information.

And so, the reincarnators in their sleep received the news that the fifth level had opened and they could receive one hundred gold coins.

It was estimated that Lei Ting had exchanged a lot of gold coins today, so Zhang Lang took the exchanged rewards and the treasure chest to the bank to deposit them. Under the cover of night, he returned to the Earl's Mansion and found that Le Xinyi and the others, as well as Lei Ting, were waiting for him.

"Not asleep?" Zhang Lang looked at the group.

"I was woken up even though I was sleeping!" Le Xinyi held up her badge, which displayed the group announcement that had just been sent out. "Looks like everything went smoothly?"

"It went fairly smoothly!" Zhang Lang nodded, noticing the food on the table, still steaming.

"Xinyi made this!" Ye Peng said. "The chef would have been asleep by now, but she saw the message and figured you were coming back, so she specially prepared something to eat!"

"Thank you!" Zhang Lang picked up the plate and finished the food in a few bites.

"My cooking skills can't compare to a professional chef's!" Seeing Zhang Lang wolfing down his food, Le Xinyi tilted her head slightly. "Don't be disgusted!"

"It's alright!" Zhang Lang waved his hand. "I'll eat it raw too!"

"Um..." Su Mingda and Ye Peng glanced at Le Xinyi, who was pouting slightly, then exchanged a look, both reading four words from each other's eyes:

A straight man with a steely personality!

After finishing his meal, Zhang Lang wiped his mouth and looked at Lei Ting beside him: "We'll depart as scheduled tomorrow morning."

"Don't you need to sleep a little longer?" Thunder asked back.

"Once the bounty is out, it's okay if I don't sleep!" Zhang Lang waved his hand and took out the bundle: "Inside are scrolls I found in the dungeon. Keep them safe; you'll need them later!"

Despite its large and thick mechanical arm, Thunder's hand was quite agile. After skillfully unpacking the bundle, it revealed the roll inside.

"This is good stuff!"

"Hmm, that saves a lot of time!" Zhang Lang looked around. "How much money did you exchange today?"

"A little over four thousand two hundred!" Thunder replied, "My share has already been taken!"

Zhang Lang nodded, his gaze sweeping over the group: "Don't just stand there, go back and rest. We have work to do tomorrow."

The group returned to their respective rooms. Zhang Lang hung up his clothes to clean himself, washed up, and went to bed. Ye Peng slept soundly, continuing his pleasant dream. Le Xinyi seemed a little unhappy, lying under the covers staring at the ceiling. Su Mingda, unable to sleep, began to ponder the information he had gathered over the past few days and make his next plans…

As for Thunder, it didn't even take off its power armor; it simply lay flat on the ground...

He was calculating the hunters' rewards over the past few days...

The bounty for killing monsters and obtaining various materials has already exceeded eight thousand. Including the bounty for killing the lord, this man's earnings have exceeded ten thousand!

A profit of over ten thousand! What he once thought was a fantasy was now right before his eyes.

He had heard from an experienced reincarnator that, according to legend, the earliest altars had no limit on the number of attempts required to advance to Heroic rank; as long as one had ten rewards, they could advance. Therefore, although rare, it did occasionally happen that someone would advance to Heroic rank within ten missions…

However, as time went on, these geniuses, though powerful, often lacked experience and were easily ambushed, wasting their powerful rewards.

The altar probably realized this too, and from then on added a limit of ten mission sessions...

But if there were no such restriction... wouldn't that mean that a hunter could advance in rank with just one mission?

This... is simply too good to be true... and it's only been a few days? He's not even halfway through the levels... if he really can clear all nine levels...

Thunder, I don't dare to think about it anymore...
