Monster collectors on the cross-platform

As for Etricia, she's already lying in her own collection of books, so there's no doubt that she has a special bloodline.

Huo also picked up the red compass, whose specific functions were written on the parchment.

The compass has a very simple function: by injecting energy, it can search for people with hidden, unawakened bloodlines within a radius of 100 meters. It is designed to work in conjunction with the array on the scroll.

Huo collected all the spoils of war, casually set fire to the ammunition compartment, and then flapped his wings and disappeared into the air.

After finishing everything, Huo opened the task panel and looked at the dazzling array of tasks.

Most of the rewarding missions are related to the two empires and the federation, which are difficult for Huo to complete alone with his current strength. Some simple missions, on the other hand, have rewards that seem too meager.

Unable to choose a suitable task from either option, Huo, who had been in the Great World for almost half a year, suddenly felt homesick.

Perhaps it's time to go back and take a look.

With a thought, Huo disappeared into the sky.

……

In the gravedigger's hut, a familiar figure appeared at his window.

Huo looked at the familiar scenery and suddenly felt a sense of peace, even though he had only stayed in this small house for about a week.

Huo moved a deck chair to the doorway and leisurely lay down on it, watching the sunlight gradually turn dim.

I spent nearly half a year in the Big World, but only a little over a day passed in the real world.

The open world has entered a 7-day cooldown period, but the Kobolds and Undead dungeons can still be run today.

But let's skip it today, I'll just treat it as a day off.

Huo was still lying in the rocking chair, lost in thought, not doing anything else, just staring blankly at the sky.

As the sun slowly set, Huo straightened up, stretched, and disappeared in front of the house.

The online platform was as lively as ever. Huo, familiar with the place, went to Hope Restaurant and ordered the cheapest set meal.

Huo rested his cheek on his left hand, watching the players coming and going outside the store.

Not long after, a sumptuous meal was placed in front of Huo Huan.

"Did something happen to you yesterday?" The shop owner hesitated for a moment before finally asking after putting down the food.

"Ah, it's nothing, the problem has been solved," Huo said casually, looking up at his boss.

This was the first time Huo had taken a close look at the owner of Hope Restaurant. The owner was wearing ordinary home clothes, an apron, and a side ponytail.

At first glance, they seem ordinary, but upon closer inspection, you'll find that they seem to have no flaws, giving the strange feeling that they've been heavily photoshopped.

"That's all settled," the boss said, carrying the tray back to the kitchen.

Huo shook his head to clear the strange feeling from his mind and focused on eating.

As his physique improved, one serving of food was clearly no longer enough to fill Huo Huan's stomach, so he ordered another set meal.

Perhaps I should order some extraordinary food; after all, I don't seem to be short of money these days.

After eating and drinking his fill, Huo picked his teeth and stepped out of the shop to start shopping.

Now that I've reached level 6, the Kobolds dungeon no longer provides me with experience points.

In addition to waiting 7 days for the dungeon to refresh, players can also buy dungeon invitations to replace existing dungeons.

One of Huo's goals while shopping was to see if there were any dungeon invitations suitable for him.

I bought some snacks that Huo had never seen before, and just kept eating and strolling around.

During this time, Huo also saw several dungeon invitations, most of which were either too high a level or too expensive.

While passing by a stall selling six-armed snake demons, Huo Huan noticed a dungeon invitation.

Dungeon Name: Demon Tide - Vanguard War (Weekly Challenge Attempts: 1)

Dungeon Level: 1~10

Dungeon Difficulty: ?

Completion Rewards: ?

A war-themed dungeon? This is another kind of dungeon that Huo has never seen before, and it looks like it has a wide variety of monsters, plenty of them, which is perfect for him.

"Boss, how much is this invitation?" Huo asked the snake demon, pointing at the invitation.

"1 Zongwang coins, no bargaining," the six-armed snake demon glanced at Huo Huan and quoted a high price without expression.

"Hiss!" Huo gasped as he looked at his balance of less than 3 Zongwang coins.

After privately messaging a wealthy professional businessman and learning that there was no similar copy, Huo reluctantly spent money to buy it.

Looking at his drastically reduced wallet and thinking about the materials he still needed to buy to improve his traits, Huo Huan couldn't help but feel a toothache. The idea of ​​opening a small shop reappeared in Huo Huan's mind.

After carefully putting away the invitation and purchasing his desired dungeon, Huo didn't linger any longer. After watching a few matches in the battle zone, Huo returned to the Gravekeeper's Hut.

The next morning, Huo still held the invitation, deciding not to replace the Kobold dungeon yet, but to finish the remaining two dungeons before making the replacement.

Stepping through the portal, he arrived back in the familiar mine. Huo touched the rock wall with a sigh before charging forward.

They charged recklessly, killing any kobolds they encountered with a mere graze and flattening any traps they stepped on.

Within minutes, Huo Huan, his body shrouded in blood mist, arrived before the Dragon Vein kobold.

Without further ado, Huo took a step forward and rushed in front of the kobold.

He immediately activated Berserk mode, his hands flashing and striking various parts of the kobold's body.

Three seconds later, Huo, who had thrown dozens of punches, jumped back a few steps and let out a long breath.

The next instant, intense energy erupted within the Dragon Vein Kobold, blasting it into fragments with a deafening boom.

The dragon vein kobolds that Huo Huan once had to deal with carefully are now no match for him and can't last more than a few seconds.

Huo also collected all the corpses with a sigh, and took all the valuables from the kobold warehouse as well.

I quickly finished the Kobolds & Catacombs dungeon twice, and unsurprisingly, the rewards were drastically reduced; I didn't even get a single piece of junk equipment.

Huo took out the invitation, and a thought flashed through his mind. The next moment, the Kobolds dungeon on the dungeon list disappeared and was replaced by the Demon Tide dungeon.

Huo was still looking at the newly created dungeon, not in a hurry to start grinding. He wanted to improve his strength first.

Thinking of this, Huo even started privately messaging Youcai.

A large amount of material piled up at Huo Huan's feet, at the cost of the Zongwang coin shrinking in value again.

In addition to purchasing materials, Huo also bought several skills to enhance himself.

Taking advantage of his ability to survive as long as his life force is depleted, Huo also purchased several skills that become more powerful the lower his health is.

The first one is the Blood Burning Technique, which burns the blood in one's body to greatly increase one's strength; the more blood burned, the greater the increase.

The second skill is Erosion of Pain, which means that the more severe the injuries to one's body, the stronger the corrosive power of the attack.

The last skill is the Blood Escape Technique from the cultivation side, a method that consumes one's own blood to increase speed.

Chapter 52 The Devil Legion

Stepping through the portal, Huo Huan's figure disappeared from the room.

The next second, the blinding sunlight shone on Huo Huan's face, causing him to squint.

[Network notification: Based on your profession and behavioral stance, you have automatically joined the human camp]

Upon hearing the notification from the network, Huo looked around and found himself inside a massive fortress.

The city wall appears to be over 20 meters high, but its thickness is not apparent from Huo's current vantage point.

Huo glanced around casually before preparing to find the quartermaster according to the strategy guide in the chat channel.

The war instance also has its own chat channel. After joining the chat channel, Huo first checked the strategy guide.

War instances differ slightly from normal instances. Upon entering a war instance, you must first confirm your faction before proceeding with the quest.

Therefore, the chat group was divided into two factions: the human faction and the demon faction. The tasks were naturally different depending on the faction.

Following the guide eastward, Huo soon saw a building with a sign that read "Supply Depot" at the entrance.

Huo knocked and went in. A middle-aged man with a large beard was sitting behind a table, flipping through a book.

"Are you a new warrior? How can I help you?" the bearded middle-aged man said, pushing two lists over.

The list on the left is filled with various tasks, including simple logistical tasks such as transporting supplies, forging weapons, and treating the wounded.

There are also war missions such as reconnaissance, luring, and elimination, with rewards of varying amounts of military merit and reputation.

On the right is an exchange list, which contains various medicines, equipment, supplies and other items that can only be exchanged with military merits.

Alternatively, players can choose not to exchange their military merits, which will be converted into in-game currency upon exiting the instance.

After casually accepting a reconnaissance mission, Huo left the supply depot and headed towards the outskirts of the fortress.

Huo, who considered himself quite capable, naturally chose a war mission, and his immediate priority was to leave the fortress.

Because flying is prohibited inside the fortress, flying freely will result in magical attacks and will also deduct player reputation. When a player's reputation is too low, they will not only be unable to accept quests, but will also be attacked by their own faction.

Huo was able to know this information because of the strategy guide in the group, which clearly showed that some players had tried it out.

After passing through the city wall, which was more than ten meters thick, Huo spread his wings and flew into the sky. According to the strategy guide in the group, the Demon Vanguard Army was most likely in the north, but the exact location would change every time he entered.

Huo flew north and, after crossing several high mountains, soon spotted a small group of demons.

A bunch of rotten flesh-like creatures that looked like they had facial features were being driven southward by a emaciated monster with two pairs of blood-red wings.

Huo suddenly had an idea; it would be a good opportunity to test his newly learned skills on these monsters.

With that thought in mind, Huo folded his wings in mid-air and crashed down like a shooting star.

The winged bone demon noticed the commotion in the air, cursed a few times in Purgatory, and quickly flapped its wings to avoid the main force.

With a "boom," Huo was like a missile that crashed into the group of inferior demons, instantly killing a large number of them.

Huo Huan, who was thrown to the ground, was also in bad shape, with broken bones, torn muscles, and damaged internal organs, but this was exactly the result Huo Huan wanted.

To repair some injuries that were affecting his mobility, Huo immediately activated the Blood Burning Technique and began burning his own blood.

The "human" Bone Demon looked at the suddenly appearing Huo Huan with a gloomy expression, clearly wanting to say something.

However, Huo clearly didn't want to listen to his opponent's nonsense. "I'm already self-harming, I don't have time to listen to your babbling."
