The area affected by the white light was also much larger, covering a full 100 meters.
Wherever it passed, all the eerie crows illuminated by the white light turned into pools of blood.
A series of system notifications rang in his mind.
[Host has killed the eerie crow. Reward: 1 gold coin!]
[Host has killed the eerie crow. Reward: 1% Sunlight Energy Experience!]

Chapter Forty-Four: Finding the Person Behind the Scenes
"Gah!"
"Gah!"
"Gah!"
As Lin Chen activated the full-power sunlight energy mode, eerie crows flying all over the sky let out a series of mournful cries.
However, after a scream, the eerie crows turned into pools of blood and fell from the sky.
In a short time.
The entire sky seemed to be covered in blood-red rain, making it extremely eerie.
The old brick and stone ground was also covered with blood.
Most of the eerie crows were killed in a short period of time.
but.
A small number of those who managed to escape were far away, and upon witnessing this scene, they immediately fled in fear.
Lin Chen watched the strange crows fly away from afar, but did not kill them all.
They simply concealed themselves, following the fleeing, eerie crow at a distance.
He was quite certain that these strange crows would go back and report the incident after experiencing such a thing.
really.
Just as Lin Chen had predicted.
These eerie crows, lacking intelligence, flew straight out of the city in extreme fear.
After leaving the city with these strange crows, he traveled through many twists and turns, taking about fifteen minutes.
Finally, they arrived at the entrance to a dark cave.
Hidden in the shadows, Lin Chen watched as all the strange crows flew into the cave, realizing that this cave must be the lair of the person behind it all.
It was indeed well hidden; if it weren't for these eerie crows leading the way, it would have been quite difficult for him to find it quickly.
Lin Chen looked into the cave, at its bottomless darkness and the stench emanating from it, and his brow furrowed slightly.
If the monsters here aren't strong enough, this trip might not have been worth it.
Hopefully, I can have a good time.
Lost in thought, he held his breath, a dazzling white light shone from his fingertips, and then he jumped straight into the cave.
...
"Gagaga!!!"
Eerie crows circled around the terrifying old woman.
"It's so noisy! Why did you all come back?!"
The terrifying old woman's face was covered with wrinkles, and when she frowned, the wrinkles deepened, revealing deep furrows. If a child saw this, they would probably be so frightened by her appearance that they would burst into tears.
She casually grabbed a strange crow and extracted fragments of memories from its mind.
Instantly, a series of images flashed through her mind.
"You idiots!"
"Why did you come back?!"
After receiving the memories, the terrifying old woman instantly became enraged. Her withered hand suddenly tightened, and the eerie crow instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, splattering everywhere.
The foul-smelling blood bloomed in spots on the terrifying old woman's face, making her look even more eerie and frightening.
His bloodshot eyes were filled with madness.
"Damn it! I haven't even looked for you yet, and you've already delivered yourself to my door. Well, that's fine, it saves me a lot of trouble."
"I will make your skin into a drum, your skull into a cup, and your flesh into medicine!"
The terrifying old woman's vicious voice was like the cawing of crows on a pile of corpses, extremely hoarse and unpleasant.
.......
After entering the cave, Lin Chen continued deeper into it.
The cave's terrain is not complicated; there are no complicated forks in the road, only one path.
Under the white light, Lin Chen discovered that the floor of the cave was covered with white bones.
Just by looking at the number of bones, one can roughly deduce that at least a hundred people have died here.
It's only a short distance; under normal circumstances, there will only be more and more skeletons ahead.
In other words, the number of people killed by this person behind the scenes must be in the tens of thousands.
It took about ten minutes to walk.
Lin Chen finally arrived at the deepest part of the cave, and a wide-open space suddenly appeared before him.
The space above was filled with stalactites, from which dripping sounds could be heard from time to time. Drops of blood-red liquid dripped from the stalactites and gathered into a small pool of blood below.
A pungent, foul stench wafted over, like the smell of a rotting corpse.
Lin Chen frowned and held his breath. Fortunately, his current physique was extremely amazing, with an incredibly large lung capacity, allowing him to breathe once every half hour.
Otherwise, the stench inside the cave would have disgusted him for a long time.
He stared intently at the space before him, where he saw piles of white bones, some human, some animal.
Many more corpses were hanging from iron hooks. Even though their clothes were covered in dust and blood, they were still very luxurious and exquisite. It was not hard to conclude that these corpses were those of the missing nobles.
Beneath these corpses was a jar as tall as a person, inside which something was being cooked. Green viscous liquid splashed out from time to time, dripping onto the ground, instantly creating a white mist and scalding a small hole.
but.
Apart from these, Lin Chen did not discover the presence of any other people in this space.
Even the eerie crows that flew into the cave had vanished without a trace.
The entire cave was deathly silent, except for the gurgling sound of the liquid boiling in the jar.
Chapter Forty-Five: Cinderella's Glass Slipper
Although there was no sign of anyone in the cave, Lin Chen wasn't foolish enough to assume that the person behind it all had just left.
Lin Chen was certain that the person was hiding somewhere, preparing to ambush him.
Lost in thought.
The white light in his hand shone brightly, instantly illuminating the entire space and making everything clearly visible.
Suddenly, a huge, terrifying figure appeared above the cave.
The figure was three meters tall, covered in stitches, and had more than ten arms and legs. It held a huge spiked club and looked very eerie and creepy.
If a normal person saw this scene, they would probably be terrified.
However, in Lin Chen's view, this thing was just an experience booster, giving him free rewards.
"boom!!!"
Seeing that its figure had been exposed and its ambush plan had failed, the giant stitched monster jumped down from above the cave with a loud bang.
Then, the giant stitched monster raised its spiked club and swung it straight at Lin Chen.
The accompanying strong wind was incredibly fierce, making the clothes rustle loudly.
Lin Chen was not afraid at all. He circulated the sunlight energy in his body, and the white light in his hand suddenly flashed violently.
Then, with a casual wave of his hand, the white light landed on the giant stitched monster.
next moment.
The giant stitched monster fell to the ground without a sound, and a hole about half a meter in size appeared in the chest of its massive body.
[Ding! Host has slain a giant Frankenstein's monster. Reward: Giant Hydra.]
[Giant Hydra: Legendary item, increases 500 health and 50 attack damage. Passive - Cleave: Your attacks deal bonus damage equal to 1.5% of your maximum health, and additionally deal bonus damage equal to 3% of your maximum health to other enemies in a cone-shaped area.]
[Active Skill - Powerful Cleave: Unleash a powerful cleave that deals an additional 6% of your maximum health as damage to your enemies, and the shockwave deals an additional 9% of your maximum health as damage.]
The system's mechanical voice echoed in Lin Chen's mind.
When he saw the reward, his eyes lit up.
Since he last killed the bone dragon, even though he had swept through the entire eerie forest, he had not obtained a single piece of equipment.
I never expected to get such a great reward just for killing a monster.
With a thought, a huge axe suddenly appeared in Lin Chen's hand.
This is a double-edged axe, a full 1.5 meters long, with a pale white color, and a cold and cruel aura lingers on the blade.
He looked at the giant hydra in his hand and felt very satisfied.
This weapon is a perfect match for his attributes. Its passive ability increases damage based on his maximum health, and his health, boosted by various items and skills, has reached an extremely high level.
In addition, this giant hydra has an active skill, and combined with its health, a single axe strike can deal tens of thousands of points of damage.
Almost no one can withstand this kind of damage.
Just as Lin Chen was admiring his newly acquired weapon...
In a secluded corner of the cave, a figure dressed in a black robe, hunched over, was trembling. A look of extreme shock and fear appeared on her wrinkled face.
She never expected that the powerful puppet she had painstakingly created would not even last a single move.
He died instantly in a flash of white light.
Even more terrifying, a huge axe suddenly appeared in the hand of the Taoist priest from the East.
The murderous aura emanating from that axe made even her tremble slightly.
I was terrified.
She never imagined that she would be so afraid one day.
At that moment, she finally understood how intense the fear was in the hearts of those she had captured before their deaths.
Just as she was praying that she wouldn't be discovered.
Sudden.
A deep voice rang out.
"Is it you who placed the curse mark on Cinderella?"
The terrifying old woman shuddered violently and stiffly turned her head.
The figure that had just been beside the giant stitched monster's corpse was now standing beside her, wielding a terrifyingly large axe.
Lin Chen looked at the extremely ugly face under the black robe and frowned slightly.
Having seen so many stunning beauties like Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella, he felt nauseous at the sight of someone so extremely ugly.
"Where are those crystal shoes? Hand them over and I'll give you a quick death."
Lin Chen said calmly.
His purpose in coming here was not to help the prince.
Based on the reward promised by the prince, he wouldn't even need the throne.
