What made Haoren feel regretful was that except for the intermediate dark crystal, no equipment was dropped, which made him unable to help but wonder, could these guys who came out of the Dark Gate do not bring equipment?

Just as he was about to leave, he found that there was a white scroll mixed in the pile of bone racks. He picked it up and spread it out. The scroll suddenly turned into debris and dissipated in the air. He also received a task prompt.

Epic Continuous Mission: Kill any 10 creatures carrying dark crystals. After completing the mission, you can randomly obtain a piece of black iron-level equipment.

This kind of mission scroll is very rare, or Haoren has never seen it before. Although the difficulty of this mission is very simple and the reward is also very deceptive. In the stage of gradually transitioning to silver equipment, even the best black iron equipment Haoren is not favored. However, since this is a continuous task, is there any subsequent tasks after completion?

Haoren simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, there is no time limit for this task, so let's fight slowly.

The damage degree of the Sword of Glory has been further increased. After the battle just now, 80% of the weapon damage has been lost, and Haoren can't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

The repair stone can be dropped from any monster or made by a forge. Haoren retrieves the materials needed for the repair stone. In fact, any ore can be made into a repair stone. Haoren now only has lava crystals on his body.

"Although it is a waste to use high-quality lava crystals to create repair stones, I don't want to fight with bare hands." Haoren sighed and set up a simple blacksmith shop on the spot. The forging process of repair stones is very simple and belongs to the basic forging skills of the forging masters.

Put a piece of high-end lava crystal on the iron felt, and after jingling, a dark red diamond-shaped repair stone was forged.

Advanced lava repair stone: Repair 60% of the equipment durability, and has a certain chance to bless the flame characteristics.

Haoren was a little surprised that the repair stone made of lava crystals actually had other effects, but his weapon is now damaged at 80%, so he had to create another high-level lava repair stone.

The two repair stones were placed on the Sword of Glory one after another, and the repair petrol turned into a red stream of light, slowly sank into the sword body. The cracks like spider webs began to be repaired automatically.

In about ten minutes, all the cracks on the sword disappeared, and the shiny sword edge returned to its sharp cold light. As it waved, the sword edge sounded, and even a fiery red luster could be seen vaguely.

Sword of Glory +12 (Advanced Flame): converts 30% weapon damage to additional fire damage.

Although there were only a few dozen more fire damage, Haoren was already very satisfied. If he was using perfect-level lava crystal, the probability of this conversion should be higher.

The journey afterwards was smooth. As long as it was not the dark creature from a different space, ordinary mutant monsters were no match for Hao Ren at all.

Three days later, when Haoren arrived on the bank of the Yangtze River, his level also rose to LV12. As long as he crossed the river, he could reach the city. Just looking at the crowded shore, he frowned inadvertently, feeling it was not very good.

The bridge across the Yangtze River was covered with hideous marks, which was very similar to the violent impact of some powerful monster. Many places of the bridge collapsed, and several meters long faults appeared. The river surface was covered with floating objects of all sizes, including cars, trains, steel bars and cement, and countless corpses that had been soaked in white...

On the shore closest to the river, several houses were built, but now they have long become a piece of rubble. The surviving people have built hundreds of tents dozens of meters away, coming and going, and it seems like a small refuge. Unfortunately, there is no professional altar here.

Just as I was about to ask someone, a dull bell sound came from a distance. The bell sound spread far away before gradually dissipating. The crowd who were already patrolling the shore seemed to have been stimulated and rushed back and forth like a swarm.

The bells were sounded by the sentry towers. Similar sentry towers were built almost in a row on the shore, as if to prevent something, and Haoren soon saw the objects that these people were afraid of.

The water waves suddenly churned on the river surface that had been dyed into blood. A black eight-legged monster rushed out of the water. It was a very huge octopus with a head about seven or eight meters long. It was a pair of huge compound eyes and eight retractable wrists on its head. Each wrist had two rows of fleshy suction cups. The suction cups were covered with sharp serrated teeth and swept along the river bank.

There was a soldier who was running more and more full on the shore. He was caught by the suction cup on his wrist on the spot. No matter how he swung his axe, he could not break free. The octopus slowly opened the mouth below his head and threw the soldier into his mouth like an eagle catching a chicken. His sharp teeth and tongue flashed with cold light. As he opened and closed, he easily pierced the warrior's armor, swallowing all the people and equipment into his belly.

This is a level 8 warrior with full blood, and he is equipped with the highest defense. He has no room for counterattack in front of the big octopus.

"What a strong attack power! No, no, it's no longer a problem with attack power. Swallowing it directly into the belly can directly cause the effect of instant killing?" Haoren frowned and analyzed seriously.

While meditating, dozens of people coming from the side pushed him away, and shouted loudly: "Don't stand here to block the road! Either retreat or prepare for battle!"

"Damn it! This elite monster is here again!"

It turned out to be an elite monster. Looking at the crowd that was facing a great enemy, Haoren suddenly realized that there were elite monsters above rare monsters. Elite monsters were divided into ordinary elites and advanced elites. I don’t know what level this octopus is.

The appearance of the octopus obviously made everyone feel extremely nervous. They hurriedly picked up their weapons and ran out of the tent, relying on the whistle and ready to go.

The location of the hood is built just outside the attack range of the octopus, but accordingly, the mages and archers cannot attack the octopus at least two hundred meters away.

The eight wrists of the octopus were dancing in the sky, and the turbid river water kept splashing one wave after another. As the river water splashed on the shore, there were light red crabs!

The octopus seems unable to get ashore, but it can send its companions in the water to ashore!

"It's a mutated big claw crab, everyone is ready to attack!"

A mage who led the lead shouted out loudly, and soon, the arrows were raining, and fireballs shot towards the big claw crab at the speed of the explosion.

The big claw crab is several times bigger than the ordinary crab. It has a hard red shell. The arrow fell on it and only left a jingle metal pounding sound. Most of the arrows were blocked from the crab shell, but there was no substantial damage.

Only the fireballs and hail of the mages can ignore the extremely high defense shells, and they are the ones who kill the most of the big clamp crabs, but the big octopus on the water suddenly took action. It waved its huge claws and wrists to block all the fireballs and hail in the air. This black iron-level spell damages ordinary elite monsters to tickling.

Not only that, the suction cup on the octopus' wrist will also spray several water arrows from time to time. The attack distance of the water arrows is extremely long, which is not comparable to those half-baked combat mages. In the blink of an eye, the water arrow pierced the bodies of several mages.

The mage's health is not high, and he was hit by the elite monster's water arrow. If he is not well equipped, he will be killed directly. If he is slightly better equipped, he is also in danger. He is quickly helped to the shore and receive treatment from the priests.

With the cover of the octopus, hundreds of large claw crabs quickly rushed to the shore. The soldiers raised their shields and launched a charge. The impact of steel and the crab shells formed a whole, and the fierce battle was about to begin.

The octopus retreated back to the water, as if he had no concern for the battle on the shore. After losing the octopus' water arrow attack, the pressure on people on the shore was greatly reduced. Although the defense of the big claw crab was very terrifying, it was just a mutant monster of LV10 after all. These people seemed to be very experienced. Three or four people formed a team to siege and quickly killed all the big claw crabs on the shore.

Haoren finally joined the battle and solved several large claw crabs. Although the battle was won, the crowd on the shore did not look much joy and cleaned the battlefield silently.

"It's so unlucky. I just attacked two days ago, but today I actually came again! These eight-legged monsters are coming more and more frequently!" The two middle-aged men muttered.

When Haoren saw that they were throwing the dead bodies into the river, he couldn't help but stop them: "You will nourish the mutant monsters in the water like this. Don't you know that those monsters can obtain evolutionary energy by hunting humans?"

"Don't care about your business!"

"Where did you come from? Get out of here!"

The two of them angrily met, and the movements of carrying the corpses were not stopped. Haoren shook his head, and he just said something casually. Since the other party did not listen, he stopped talking and walked towards the gathering places of the tents.

"Hey! Stop me, are you new here? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Haoren did not look back or respond, and continued walking.

"I'm asking you something! You idiot didn't hear it!" One of them seemed a little annoyed, threw down the corpse in his hand, strode forward, pressed Haoren's shoulder, and exerted a little force, with great force, and looked like a warrior.

Haoren grabbed his arm with his backhand, twisted it easily, and raised his eyebrows: "Who is the idiot?"

"Let go! My arm is about to break!" The man screamed and tears were about to flow down his pain. Another companion opened his eyes in surprise and immediately reacted, threw down the body and pulled out the machete.

Haoren narrowed his eyes: "Want to fight?"

Several people stopped around and watched with interest, but no one stepped forward to dissuade them.

The man holding the machete looked gloomy and calm. He suddenly put away his weapon and chuckled: "My friend might be a little reckless just now. In fact, he just wanted to ask if you just came here and were preparing to cross the river?"

"Be polite next time you speak!" Haoren didn't want to fight as soon as he came here. He threw down his sentence lightly and let go of his hand.

The man hurriedly ran to his companion, pulled out the axe from his waist, and stared at Haoren with alertness, but Haoren just left straight away.

"Damn it! Very cool guy, I have to beat him up if I find an opportunity!"

"Forget it! I remember that all the evolution points you upgraded were added to your strength."

"Yes, it's not my bragging. If I were just fighting for strength, even that heroic professional gunner would not be my opponent!"

"Hmph! But you lost to that little guy just now!"

The person who spoke was stunned for a moment, his face flushed red, but he could not refute that this simple force of fighting was purely determined by the size of his power attribute.
