Those who reincarnate must die.

The next morning, the bounty poster for the fifth floor also appeared. (Google search reading)

The bounty for the fifth-level lord, the three-headed hellhound, is the hellhound's stomach, and the bounty is 2,100 gold coins.

According to the bounty poster, this hellhound can eat rocks and drink lava, all thanks to its incredibly powerful stomach! Conversely, it can also spit out lava to attack!

However, with a bounty of only two thousand gold coins, Zhang Lang thought back to the evolved robots he had dealt with before, which were around two thousand points in strength. If that was all they were capable of, they were still far from being good enough!

Having noted down the bounty, Zhang Lang led Thunder deeper into the underground city once again.

The two were quite familiar with the route and went straight down five levels to reach the lava palace.

"Can you still handle it?" Zhang Lang turned around and asked Lei Ting.

"That's what I should be asking you!" Thunder said, holding a machine gun. "My powered armor offers better protection than a spacesuit, capable of withstanding ambient temperatures up to 700 degrees Celsius! It's even more effective against brief bursts of intense heat!"

Zhang Lang nodded: "Then let's go!"

Yesterday, Zhang Lang flew over on his Winged Demon, but this time traveling on land would be much more dangerous. They hadn't gone far when several fireballs shot towards them.

The two dodged aside and looked up to see several slender and agile humanoid demons, each with only one eye, each holding a fireball in its hand, standing on the hilltop and glaring menacingly.

Lesser demons are common low-to-mid-level monsters in the Lava Dungeon, and are the lowest-ranking demons. If the Lava Dungeon appears on the second or third floor, there should be some other non-demon creatures below them, but if it appears on the fifth floor, this is the weakest monster on the bounty list. The bounty is for that enormous one-eyed monster, worth twenty gold coins.

Zhang Lang let Lei Ting handle the weaker monsters. With the aim assist system, he dodged fireballs while firing his gun, accurately piercing the chests of several monsters before finishing them off one by one, gouging out their eyes and collecting the loot.

They hadn't gone far when they were attacked by three more heat rays. This time, they were attacked by a group of strong demons, each over two meters tall, with powerful physiques, long tails, and bodies covered in bony plates. Each of them had a red crystal on its chest that could fire high-energy rays.

This type is called a Heavy Armored Demon, a higher-level demon race than the Lesser Demon, several times stronger. The bounty material is the crystal on its chest, worth fifty gold coins for each crystal!

According to their previous agreement, anything over thirty gold coins would go to Zhang Lang, but since they were already on the fifth floor, even the weakest monster was worth twenty... Zhang Lang then relaxed the rules:

"I'm leaving this to you too. Can you handle it?"

"Even if I'm a newbie, I'm still a hero. Don't underestimate me!" Thunder cocked his gun and fired repeatedly at the nearest demon.

The armored demon's bone plates were very thick, making it not particularly agile. These bullets hit its body, but the armor was not to be underestimated. Although it was cracked by the bullets, its internal organs were not damaged, and it even retaliated with heat rays!

The Thunder Power Armor's joints spun, deftly dodging the attack, and continued firing until it finally shattered the armor and took down one of them. At the same time, two more heat energy beams were fired at it!

Lei Ting raised his hand, and the armor plate on his left wrist unfolded into a shield, blocking two blows. The special coating on it isolated some of the damage, but the rest was not enough to burn through the special alloy armor.

Having blocked the heat rays, Thunder put away his shield, threw a grenade that blasted one to death, and then picked up his machine gun to focus fire and take out the last one.

The three monsters were wiped out by lightning in just over ten seconds, cleanly and efficiently, truly befitting a hero-level performance!

Moreover, this doesn't even take into account his own attributes and potential skills.

After all, within such bulky power armor, aside from the reaction speed boost from water attribute, other attribute effects are barely utilized, and skills are easily restricted. Zhang Lang has only ever seen Thunder fight with firearms, and he even wonders if Thunder would be even more powerful without his armor.

The two continued on their way, leaving the low-level monsters like the heavily armored demons and little devils to Lei Ting. But on the fifth floor, the real danger came from the monsters with bounties of hundreds of gold coins!

For example, there's the corpulent, gigantic Hell Count; the Demon Summoner who can summon a large number of low- to mid-level demons; and the Hell Knight who rides a nightmare and wields a flaming spear, and so on...

Zhang Lang basically took care of all of this.

Upon reaching this level, both Tiger's Roar and the Hunter began to show signs of fatigue. Fortunately, these mid-to-high-level demons typically appeared alone, and a critical hit followed by a Spirit Arrow was usually enough to take them down. These two attacks also had very short cooldowns, allowing them to dispatch monsters with a two-shot combo each time they encountered one. They managed to eliminate over a dozen along the way.

However, because they had a clear direction this time, the two arrived at the lord's location at noon, at the huge cave that Zhang Lang had seen in the middle of the night.

This was the first time Zhang Lang had found the lord before Lei Ting left.

Dealing with those lowly monsters worth a few hundred gold coins might be manageable with equipment special effects, but dealing with a lord with a bounty of over two thousand gold coins will definitely require some real skill!

The sudden death of the Mud Dragon left a deep impression on Thunder. Clearly, this hunter is still hiding a lot of power. Facing the lord of the fifth floor this time, we should be able to see his true strength...

Upon arriving at the burning cave, Zhang Lang raised the Tiger Roar and fired several shots into it!

A tremendous commotion echoed through the valley. Soon after, three long roars came from inside the burning cave. A moment later, a huge black shadow slowly stepped out...

Cerberus, the three-headed hellhound and lord of the fifth lava dungeon, has appeared!

Its name is Quan (犬), but apart from the three spiked collars around its neck, there is no trace of a dog on its body!

It was even larger than a Triceratops, its body devoid of fur, covered instead in dense, hard scales. At the end of its tail was a dragon head filled with sharp teeth; including this, it would be more aptly named a four-headed dog. The three heads on its front were even larger and more ferocious, their gaping maws spewing not saliva, but drops of magma!

Just seeing him sent chills down Lei Ting's spine. A monster with a score of two thousand points—the oppressive aura was incomparable to those with scores of a few hundred points...

The seven Hero-level monsters who came this time were basically all novices. Even the most experienced Maned Wolf, according to Thunder's understanding, would be no match for this kind of monster... Let alone alone, recalling the previous battle against the berserk Sandstorm Lizard, even if they joined forces, they probably wouldn't have a chance of winning...

Now, what would a hunter do if he were to face a monster of this level alone?
