After a long time, the Teleportation Array at the border town of the Pale Plain flashed with the light of transmission again, and the knight wielding a sword stepped out of the array.

He looked around, slightly puzzled, as the expected reception from the natives of the Black Moon World did not happen, and from afar, there was also no sound of fierce combat. This scene felt somewhat eerie to Sassos.

’Could it be that the city is shrouded in an Illusion Realm?’

’No, that’s not right. I have an extremely high Will Attribute, which can’t be easily influenced by an Illusion Realm. It must be due to some other reason.’

Sassos placed his hand on the hilt, his muscles slightly tensed, ready to enter combat at any moment, preparing for a potential ambush in the future.

He walked slowly to the city wall and saw warriors standing there motionless. These Moon Warriors were staring blankly in the direction outside the city, and some people’s weapons even silently dropped to the ground.

"What’s going on now?"

Sassos asked while instinctively stepping forward, his gaze directed towards outside the city.

Then, he fell into silence as well.

The Pale Plain is named so because of the abundant white-flashing vegetation that colors the plain pale.

And now, countless white-flashing vegetation was stained with the color of blood, in the corners of the heaps of monster bodies, tiny red glimmers emerged, making the scene resemble Purgatory.

The pitch-black Demonic Flame was burning fiercely, a fire composed of Abyssal Power engulfing and consuming the monster’s blood and flesh, making a slight sizzling sound. Occasionally, monster remains slid down the mound, making random collision noises, along with weak cries of monsters echoing from unknown places.

And right in the center of this Hell, atop a mountain of countless monster carcasses and remains, a young man sat there quietly.

His body leaned slightly forward, one arm casually resting on his knee, while the other, entwined with the Moon Lock, hung down the other side. The chain of the Moon Lock, emitting dim purple light, naturally drooped, its body stained with indelible blood color, its end immersed in the blood-colored stream.

"Drip-drop!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The dripping blood fell into the stream where the chain lay, the various blood traces seeping from the carcass mountain flowing down the brook, converging into a tiny river at the mountain’s base, emitting a pungent, foul smell.

"Hoo~"

Ye Mingqiu slowly rose to his feet after a brief rest had sufficiently restored his physical and Spiritual Energy. If the Blood Spear was still there, he wouldn’t even need to rest to regain stamina, as the Blood Spear through Blood Crystal linkage would grant him strong endurance.

The blood-colored Slaughter Momentum quietly surged up, burning like invisible Blood Flame.

This was not intentionally unleashed by him, but rather resulted from killing too many monsters in a short period, causing an uncontrolled surge, which could be stabilized with a little time.

On the city wall, Sassos finally returned to his senses and quickly realized a rather serious problem.

That is...

He came here to counter the monster tide and earn military merit for treasure exchange. Now, with the monsters all slain, he had no monsters or military merit to earn!

OMG!

So what do I do now?

What am I supposed to do now?

"No wonder he’s the Blood Erosion Tyrant, to easily crush the monster tide like that, he’s practically a monster himself. With such a powerful warrior, our world is safe."

A soldier clenched his fists, showing an excited smile while muttering to himself.

"Another monster? What’s happening?"

Sassos quickly stepped up to inquire.

"Hmm? You don’t know? Over at Silent Sea, there’s a creature named Broken Star that’s taken care of the monster tide there."

The soldier’s face showed a puzzled expression, like looking at a primordial man without internet access. Black Moon World boasts fairly advanced alchemy technology, allowing rapid transmission of critical intelligence via alchemy products to other areas.

However, Sassos, who had just arrived in this world not long ago, apparently hadn’t gotten hold of such communication means, leaving his information channels relatively closed off.

The soldier didn’t care about Sassos’s shock-stricken, bewildered expression and continued speaking to himself: "Now, with Silent Sea and Pale Plain defended amongst the three dangerous border areas, only the Shadow Algae Jungle remains perilous. It’s unclear whether more creatures like them will emerge."

Just as Sassos was about to say something more, Ye Mingqiu swiftly rushed over, moving as fast as a speeding train, making a formidable impression.

He landed a single foot on the city wall, making a significant dent in the ground, his eyes fiercely locked onto the military officer standing beside Sassos, asking: "Activate the military merit shop."

[Notification: Military merit shop activated]

Ye Mingqiu quickly opened the shop, holding slight hope in his heart, but once the shop fully loaded, his expression instantly fell.

Because....the military merit shop was empty.

There was nothing there.

He directly opened the channel.

—— Temporary Channel ——

Divine Monarch: @Broken Star, why is the military merit shop empty?

Broken Star: Whoa?

Sassos: wc, it’s void! I haven’t even started, and the military merit shop is already gone! Aaah!

Sassos: I haven’t even begun!

Tian Qing: [Map Coordinates.JPG]

Tian Qing: These places may harbor the core of the Dreamless Domain.

Divine Monarch: Okay.

Sassos: ?

Tian Qing: I teamed up with him before, last time, we just got prepared, and he alone wiped the enemy clean, leaving all four of us standing there dumbfounded.

Tian Qing: So this time, I’ve clarified what my focus should be; from the start, I had no intention of competing with these monsters.
