The girl selling goods at the market had never seen money before.

Flames ignited in Yan Quan's eyes as he vowed in his heart that if he ever caught the Undying Secret Society, he would definitely send them to prison to do hard labor for the rest of their lives.

The other members of the investigation team were not much better off than Yan Quan, which boosted the morale of the entire team several levels.

As you continue walking, sarcastic remarks keep coming, sometimes on wooden signs, sometimes carved on trees, and eventually, even on the corpses of Venus flytraps along the way.

The survey team endured hardship and humiliation along the way, and finally, they reached the edge of the jungle.

Upon exiting, one could see countless skulls patrolling the wasteland in the distance, with a rudimentary factory slowly operating behind them.

In addition, there were three wooden signs standing nearby.

[Miscellaneous fish, miscellaneous fish—]

You've fallen for their trap!

Now that you're slinking away like this, the Undying Guild might spare your lives!

"Damn it, Flame Fist! I can't take this anymore! If I don't grind the Undying Guild to dust today, I'm resigning on the spot!"

A young member of the survey team gritted his teeth and smashed the wooden board into powder, muttering under his breath.

Upon hearing this, another team member couldn't help but say, "Captain, give the order!"

Their enthusiasm quickly spread to the others, and all the team members looked at Yan Quan with anticipation.

"Captain! How can we let those bastards trample on our heads like that? I won't feel at ease until we teach them a lesson!"

"Ah, that's right." Flame erupted all over his body as he took a step forward.

Everyone drew their weapons and resolutely followed.

"Then let's settle this here and fight them!"

"Soldiers, fight on!!!"

A roar of fury echoed through the night sky. Under the red moon, Flame Fist charged forward like a giant fireball into the skeleton army, clearing a path for the other members.

The skeletons along the way were burned to ashes by the raging flames before they even touched him.

They charged straight into the heart of the skeleton army. When Flame Fist's firepower was insufficient, another Tier 5 member wielding a greatsword switched positions with him.

As his entire body was enveloped in aura, dazzling white runes gradually appeared on the greatsword.

Terrifying energy gathered in his hands, and then, in a moment, it poured out.

"Ex——calibur!!!"

In an instant, the skeleton soldiers blocking their way were completely cleared, revealing a large area of ​​land ravaged by this powerful energy.

However, this was nothing more than a blow to the skeletons that filled almost the entire wasteland.

Soon, countless skeleton soldiers savagely stepped onto the scorched earth, filling the gaps that had just been cleared once again.

They showed no fear, nor did they retreat; wielding bone blades and shields, they launched attacks one after another.

Volume 1: Chapter 61: The Girl Who Was Chasing Him

"Although the guild is very strong, there are too many skeletons, and they are all at the near-Tier 3 level. It will be difficult for them to rush to the Undead Guild's headquarters in a short time."

After watching the battle from a distance for a while, Bai Jinxuan made up her mind.

Taking advantage of the fact that the guild had drawn the skeletons' attention, he directly raided the base. If the man in the suit wanted to command the skeleton soldiers to fight the guild, he could steal his treasures depending on the situation. If the man wanted to run away with the money, it would be even easier to do so.

You know, she still has the plant-eating euphoric agent on hand, so even if that mad dog is there, Bai Jinxuan is not afraid of him!

Today is the end of the Immortal Guild!

With that thought in mind, she slipped into the shadows, ignoring the terrain and bypassing the battlefield from the side, and soon arrived at the simple factory.

Compared to the factory of Qiangjian Technology, this factory was nothing more than a thatched hut.

Won't this thing be blown over by the wind?

Bai Jinxuan even felt that this building was created by a first-level mage like Zhou Kai, who casually used a few earth magic spells as if making a clay sculpture. As long as it was habitable, it was considered finished. The level of detail was not even as good as the palace she built during the exam...

Although she really wanted to complain about how terrible the environment was at the Undying Guild's headquarters, she obviously had more important things to do.

After frowning and sneaking inside, Bai Jinxuan discovered a detection device.

She had seen this thing on the black market; it was a special item from the underground city that could detect energy bodies within a radius of five kilometers and cost fifty million.

It was priced exorbitantly, and because its significance was unclear, it sat on the black market for many years without anyone buying it.

As a result, it was bought by the Immortal Secret Society?

Bai Jinxuan scratched her head.

Maybe it's because I scared them half to death last time I attacked in my Shadow Scout form, so they quickly bought a detection item to prevent me from raiding their base...

But the problem is I have the Shadowless Cloak! Do you even know what shielding is, kid? It works even in shadows!

Seeing that the device did not respond to her arrival, she tried to reach out from the shadows and invite the special object to sit in her treasure chest.

Just then, the man in the suit ran over quickly, grabbed the special prop that looked somewhat like a compass, and dashed away, causing Bai Jinxuan to miss her.

Turning my head again, I was shocked to find the factory completely empty. It seems they've all been moved to Qiangjian Technology.

Thinking about it carefully, there is indeed no need to guard such a thatched hut. The skeleton soldiers are just expendable items. With the right tools, he can make a comeback at any time.

Of course, that's assuming Bai Jinxuan isn't targeting him.

"Huh, you want to escape!?"

Because Bai Jinxuan could ignore the terrain in her shadow form, and the man in the suit had limited escape speed, she quickly took a shortcut and caught up with him.

The opponent was clever; when he fled, he even brought 10 skeleton soldiers to act as guards. This number was just right—not too many, not too few—to clear a path for him while preventing his tracks from being too obvious and allowing the guild to catch up.

Not only that, he also deliberately arranged for several skeleton soldiers to escape in different directions. If Bai Jinxuan hadn't found him first, he might have really gotten away.

Unfortunately, reality is often unpredictable; those few minutes of lingering led him into a huge mess.

Seeing the man in the suit enter the new jungle, Bai Jinxuan felt the time had come.

She took out a small, un-carved Meow Meow grenade and threw it in front of the man in the suit.

"boom--"

The loud explosion made the man in the suit stop and look around warily, while the skeleton soldiers also formed a defensive formation, surrounding him completely.

This was exactly what Bai Jinxuan wanted, and she took out test tubes from her treasure box.

Inside was a liquid she had previously extracted from the buds of the fleshy plant using an injection; it was a substance that could attract plants and drive them mad.

She tied a Meow Meow grenade to the side of the test tube and then threw it forcefully in front of the man in the suit.

Seeing this, the man in the suit immediately hid behind the shield soldier. Another explosion occurred, but the destructive power was not enough to overturn the near-Tier 3 skeleton soldier.

"Who?! Don't plant bombs in the shadows, come out and fight me one-on-one if you dare!"

The unharmed man in the suit couldn't help but curse at the empty jungle, but what responded to him were three Venus flytraps with their mouths wide open.

They were like madmen, completely disregarding the skeletons' abilities. Even after their vines were severed by the bone blades, they still bared their teeth, determined to devour the skeletons whole.

The terrifying scene startled Bai Jinxuan.

The predatory plants, after being treated with pesticides, are even more fearless than skeletons! Even though the Venus flytrap was dead, its mouth was still stuck to the skeleton's bone shield, refusing to let go...

Before she could finish her exclamation, another group of dark figures appeared in the jungle, this time in much larger numbers. Everywhere she looked, there were shadows of predators feeding on plants.

Rafflesia, squid sundews, and tree spirits... they all rushed over at once, and the whole earth trembled.

The man in the suit realized that these few skeleton soldiers alone couldn't hold off so many monsters, so he ordered the skeleton soldiers to split up and hold off the monsters while he took a shortcut and went around them.

Everything was exactly as Bai Jinxuan had anticipated.

Just as he was forced to cross the dense forest, a dark figure suddenly descended from the sky, a sword aimed straight at the back of his neck.

At the critical moment, the man in the suit suddenly developed spider senses, turned his head to the side, and dodged the fatal blow.

A few strands of hair were cut off and scattered on the man's face.

Cold sweat poured down his back. If his neck hadn't been sore and he hadn't turned his head to the side, he would be dead by now.

"Damn it, who the hell are you?"

He cursed angrily and scrambled forward, then saw a mysterious figure wearing a cloak and carrying a short sword quickly following him.

Throughout the entire ordeal, the magic detector never showed her mark.

The prop is broken? No, it's just that she hasn't appeared yet; the other monsters are still showing up as usual...

Holy crap, I can't believe this kind of thing even exists in this world! What bad luck!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's talk this out. We don't necessarily have to fight to the death!"

Upon hearing this, the mysterious figure behind him spoke in a hoarse, beast-like voice, "Then... don't run away..."

Why would I stand still and die if I didn't run?!

The man in the suit was speechless. Was this guy crazy? Couldn't he slow down before saying that to show his sincerity?

But then again, it turns out this guy can talk...

In that case, he has a condition that most people can't refuse, which might make her give up the pursuit.

Thinking of this, he shouted, "I'll give you ten million, go and kill your employer!"

Volume 1: Chapter 62: The Angry Girl

Upon hearing the man in the suit's words, Bai Jinxuan's eyes lit up.

What? He still has ten million!

We absolutely can't let him get away with this! I've never seen so much money in my entire life!

She quickened her pace and said in a low voice, "Then stop and send me the money. I'll go kill my employer as soon as I get it."

Upon hearing this, Ding Hong looked behind him and found that the mysterious figure had run even faster, which startled him so much that he also sped up.

"No...no! I think you want me dead! We must keep a safe distance!"

Bai Jinxuan was speechless. This guy didn't seem to be very strong in combat, but he was quite perceptive and ran very fast. She guessed he was a level 2 martial arts explorer.

There's really nothing I can do about him right now.

After thinking for a moment, she shouted angrily, "How do I know you're not trying to get something for nothing? I don't think you want to give me a single penny. If I slow down, you'll disappear!"

"Doing business is all about integrity! I don't see any sincerity in you at all!"

"You're the one who has absolutely no sincerity, haha, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Ding Hong was completely baffled. Who was this assassin? He had already given him ten million, and he was still having all sorts of concerns!

However, upon closer examination, it's not entirely without a solution.

He took his phone out of his pocket as he ran.

"Aren't you worried I won't pay you? Hurry up, give me your account number! I'll transfer the money to you right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the mysterious person behind him actually take out his phone and check it.

She is human!

Although the voice is hoarse, monsters would never use a cell phone.

They must have used some special tool to conceal their presence... Shadow... Perhaps the members of this organization have different goals. The one in front of them should be a professional assassin, while the old woman before was a pickpocket.

What an omnipresent force! It's so powerful that even the magic detector can't detect it. Right now, it's best to pay to avoid trouble if possible. The Shadows are an organization we can't afford to mess with.

Thinking of this, he continued shouting, "Black market account, I'll transfer it to you right away!"

“0Taxi 0721 117——”

"I've transferred it to you!"

Bai Jinxuan looked down at the notification of a 10 million yuan deposit on her phone and angrily retorted, "You lied to me! I didn't receive it at all!"

"What!?"

Ding Hongren was dumbfounded. Had he misheard the number?

Damn it, because of this small mistake, he lost ten million!
