Having lingered in the Black Mist for too long, black lines had already climbed up Leslie’s arm. In the mont she lost her breath, these lines surged up as if activated, instantly enveloping her body.
Her figure, like Margaret’s before, lted away, rotting, rapidly turning into a puddle of bloody mud.
"You really are," Su Ming’an looked at her bloodied face still marked with tearstains, picking up their dropped equipnt:
"...underestimating the World ga too much."
...
"Ding Dong!"

...
[You have obtained Katerya Grass-Woven Bracelet (Special)]
[Katerya Grass-Woven Bracelet: A bracelet dropped by the first Guide. Returning this item to her will earn her favor.]
...
Among the things dropped by these three people, the most noteworthy were these two. The Water Realm Boots gave him the ability to fight in water, and this grass-woven bracelet...was actually sothing belonging to the legendary first Guide.
So far, he had not yet seen the first Guide. This person seed to have vanished into thin air, very mysterious.
People speculated that she might be disguising her strength, blending in among the ordinary Guides, her power unseen. Who knows who was lucky enough to be matched with her.
Killing these players had brought him 8 Occupation Points, and along with his previous points, he now had a total of 10. He didn’t need to save Occupation Points for reviving Cloning in this instance, so he directly chose to spend the points on an Occupation upgrade.
"Ding Dong!" With a clear ring, his White Judgnt Occupation rose to level 21. Since he had already acquired full elental resistance at level 20, upon upgrading, he discovered so new additions to his Occupation.
[Occupation upgraded to level 21.]
[You have acquired the Growth Mission ]
[: The aning of "White Judgnt" lies in "Judgnt," the essence of "Judgnt" in truth.
Devouring other equipnt will power up your weapon. When the energy bar is full, your weapon will further upgrade (can break through the Purple Grade limitation).

...
[You have acquired Passive Skill ]
[: The Attribute Points requirents of weapon-type Equipnt will be ineffective for you.]
...
Su Ming’an read through the updates.
This ti, the upgrade mainly enhanced aspects related to weapons. If he absorbed enough equipnt, his Sword of Yarman or Amber Knife could be upgraded again.
As for the Limit Dissipation skill, it was very useful to him. Since his Strength in Shadow State was extrely low, he couldn’t wield the two weapons he already owned. When a player’s Attribute Points do not et a weapon’s requirents, the weapon in hand is as good as a blank slate.
...But now it was different.
He reached out, and the Sword of Yarman appeared in his hand. The mont he gripped the hilt, he could distinctly feel that he could fully utilize the sword’s power, and its weight no longer felt so heavy, as if it were part of his own arm.
With that, under Shadow State his sword attacks would beco considerable in damage. Even though his Strength Value remained low, the Sword of Yarman inherently dealt damage, plus the True Damage and spell-breaking effects, which would prove horrendously damaging to those squishy players when he struck with his sword.
After they had exhausted his Shadow State Mana Points through imnse efforts, when they finally rushed to his face, he would suddenly draw out a sword...
The outco should be quite delightful.
Although he didn’t have the bonuses of Swordsmanship Mastery in Shadow State, his sword swings full of errors, at least he wasn’t devoid of close combat ability.
There was also the Amber Knife, with its inherent space-destroying effect combined with the magical bonus of Shadow State, it should have a pretty terrifying destructive power...
He sheathed his sword and closed the panel.
When he lifted his head, he saw a line of gold faintly appearing on the far horizon.
"Ding-dong!" "Ding-dong!"
A series of system prompts sounded.
[Black Sheep Player (Lu) has escaped through the solo escape passage.]
[All "Black Sheep" players within the Sacrifice Field have been declared dead——Congratulations on your ultimate victory!]
[Announcent: The victor of this Sacrifice Field——Ghost of Jiu Shen (Su Ming’an).]
...
[You have been awarded (three) Silver Stars. (Exclusive reward for Ghost of Jiu Shen)]
...
As an announcent marking the end echoed, the blood-red in Su Ming’an’s field of vision began to gradually fade, his augnted strength from the bonuses was being eliminated, and that ticulous observational capability was also gradually leaving him.
Around him, the barrier that had originally locked in the farm dispersed, the small instance had ended, and everything had returned to its original state.
However, the black mud and fresh blood spilled everywhere, and the bodies that had fallen, all proved... this seemingly tranquil farm had undergone a terrifying slaughter.
If soone were to return here, they might find the dismbered body at the slaughterhouse and a dark-skinned man who had been shot to death in the basent.
Their stories would not continue, and the beliefs and theories they spoke of would no longer be known to anyone.
...In this world, what people leave behind after death, apart from an ugly corpse rotting in the black mud, is nothingness.
Su Ming’an hoisted the unconscious Xiber onto his back, avoiding the black mud on the ground.
As Leslie and others died, the black mist from their bodies spread wildly, quickly contaminating the area, causing even the originally verdant corn leaves to wither and shrivel, as if turning into a flowing river of black.
...Those who fought against contamination, in the end, beca a part of "contamination." This was the unchangeable law of Qiongdi.
It was ironic, yet it also left people feeling helpless.
Carrying the red-robed girl on his back, he slowly walked toward the farm’s main gate.
Three Silver Stars transford into three streamline-like silver lights, etching themselves onto his arm, aligning with the one previously acquired Silver Star.
The girl slept on his back, her breathing faint and even, as if plunged into a beautiful dream.
The dawn’s light shed upon her small face wrapped in the red robe, those eyes, always wary and shadowy, were now peacefully closed, as if shielding against all the contamination, bloodshed, and strife.
On Su Ming’an’s wrist, the Black Lamb Bracelet that symbolized protection, reflected a golden sheen.
Their bodies were warmly illuminated by the light, while the damp, nauseating black mist was naturally dispelled.
A golden radiance approached leisurely from the distant horizon, catching his eye as he looked up.
At this mont, the night wind ceased,
Dawn had arrived.
