Ling PingAn continued to move through the trees.
In no time at all, he had exited the dense forest.
There was a blurry light ahead of him.
Ling PingAn looked at the light. Then he started moving in its direction.
According to his understanding, a light meant that there was a person there, and that person was likely to be a non-player character (NPC). Once he found an NPC, then he could get stuff like missions, fight some monsters, or pick up some equipment.
And this character of his had been given an official cheat by the game.
His Endurance levels were incredible and he could feel it too. He could probably cover a few hundred miles in one night without any problems.
So he didn’t care about consuming his energy and started to move quickly toward the source of the light.
A few minutes later, he could see where the light was coming from. It seemed to be a small mountain village.
The village was very quiet. It seemed as if all of the residents were fast asleep.
There were only a few lights along the road to the village that were flickering slightly.
He continued walking toward the village and soon ran into a stone plaque erected along the side of the road.
The plaque was engraved with the words: Nan’an Village.
As soon as he saw the plaque, a prompt appeared in front of his eyes: Dear Player, you are very close to the main Nightmare area.
You may choose from the following options:
A: Ask around in the village and become friends with the residents.
B: Uphold justice, rebuke those who have chosen evil, and destroy all the demons.
After looking at the two options in front of him, Ling PingAn scratched his head and then, with a serious look on his face, chose option B.
He was a law-abiding citizen of the Federal Empire.
If he saw an old granny crossing the road, he would go forward to help her along.
So of course he was going to be the type of person who would fight anyone who was evil or doing illegal things.
Even if it was just in a game!
After he’d chosen option B, the village in front of him suddenly became distorted.
Fresh blood started to flow out of the ground.
An eerie wind blew hard at him, and the air was filled with the sound of crying and howling.
Distorted figures started to climb out of the houses in the village.
Ling PingAn looked at them and couldn’t help but compliment the game developers, “They’re so realistic!”
“But…”
He leaped high up into the sky.
“All you bold demons! I can tell immediately that none of you is human!”
“Almighty Dragon of Heaven!” He used his bamboo fan-sized palms to grab hold of a monster climbing out of the ground.
This monster had a head that looked like a toad’s, but its body was dry and crackly, like a completely dried-out corpse.
Ling PingAn looked more carefully and saw that there was a name on top of this monster: Alucard’s Slave LV3.

“That looks pretty scary…” Ling PingAn remarked.
“But it’s too bad that you ran into me!”
He exerted some strength with his large hands and crushed the monster immediately.
The monster’s body slowly began to turn into stone in his hands.
A wind blew past, turning the stone into fine sand. Then, the sand flowed out from his hands.
But Ling PingAn still found the time to take a look at his own battle records.
He found information regarding the monster he’d just killed: Alucard’s Slave LV3 just attempted to attack your Vigor, but because your Vigor score is Gold Attribute 8, you managed to block this attack.
You made a physical attack on Alucard’s Slave LV3.
As your Strength is at Gold Attribute 18, you were able to crush the opponent.
You have used the technique Almighty Dragon of Heaven LV1.
This attack is considered a weak attack.
You have caused Alucard’s Slave LV3 180 x 2 x 2 = 720 points of damage.
Alucard’s Slave’s hit points are 120 points.
Total damage was 600 points in excess.
Alucard’s Slave LV3 has been completely destroyed. You have been awarded 30 Nightmare Points (Base Reward of 10 points, plus Complete Destruction Reward of 20 points).
Ling PingAn whistled when he read his battle history. “I’m really amazing!”
After that, he laughed cheekily as he looked at the other monsters.
“Hello, my points, don’t run away,” he yelled loudly and laughed as he dashed over.

He had learned from the guide elf that this Legend of Nightmare used a different leveling-up system from traditional online games. It didn’t use experience points.
Players needed Nightmare Points to purchase Ability Points to strengthen one’s body.
1
As for his character, since all his attributes had been changed to Gold Attributes, he had to purchase Gold Ability Points in order to strengthen his character.
One Gold Ability Point needed 10,000 Nightmare Points.
As for upgrading and learning skills, he would need to purchase a Gold Skill Scroll, and this thing cost 20,000 Nightmare Points!
So he had to make full use of his time and quickly kill off all the monsters here, then hurry on to the next place to kill more monsters.
If he took too long and other players caught up, then they’d end up competing with him to kill monsters.
He took some time to also take a look at the description of the skill that he had lighted up as well.
Almighty Dragon of Heaven LV1: The enlightened monk uses his unsurpassable mercy to save the world and rid the world of demons! You can immediately use Dharma to mark targets and declare them as demonic. This will last for three minutes. All attacks on marked targets will be considered Weak Attacks.
You can mark 3/6/9/12 targets at the same time.
Before a marked demon dies, you cannot mark a new demon.
After looking at the explanation in the Skills menu, Ling PingAn realized that he had to use his skills a little more sparingly.
It was best to leave the marking to those higher-level monsters.
Using it on a tiny monster of only LV3 had been such a waste.
And so, he quickly dashed over and found two other monsters that had been marked from among the group of monsters, then slapped them all to death.
…
Chu Weiwei was panting as she followed the tracks left behind by that monk. She had followed him all the way out of the dense forest.
There was a creepy-looking small mountain village in front of her now.
Before she had even moved closer to the village, Chu Weiwei could already feel goosebumps all over her body.
The bells she wore around her wrists started to ring.
These bells were from her mother. Before Chu Weiwei was born, her mother got them from Celestial Master Zhang on Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Each bell had been blessed by the Celestial Master.
They were able to warn, break up evil, and avoid calamity.
But now, all of them were ringing nonstop.
Chu Weiwei knew very well what that meant.
There was a problem with this village.
And it was a very big problem!
In fact, this could be a very terrifying demon lair!
“Don’t tell me that MonkFahai just recklessly barged into such a terrifying lair?” Chu Weiwei swallowed her saliva. “This sort of demon lair needs at least a highly skilled Blackguard who is at Colonel rank or above to even enter!
“If he accidentally goes in like that, he might not come out alive!”
Just then, Chu Weiwei heard an angry shout that sounded like a clap of thunder.
“All you bold demons! I can tell immediately that none of you is human!
“Almighty Dragon of Heaven!”
Chu Weiwei looked in the direction of the voice and saw the bulky figure of the monk. He had jumped up from one of the buildings in the village into the air.
Then he laughed weirdly before dashing into the village.
Chu Weiwei swallowed hard.
She carefully got closer. The next thing she saw absolutely dumbfounded her.
There were monsters. A huge group of them.
They were in all shapes and sizes. Chu Weiwei’s heart trembled when she saw these terrifying looking monsters.
But they were acting like a bunch of sheep in front of the muscular monk.
Every time the monk dashed into the crowd of monsters, he could beat or slap several monsters to smithereens.
And some of these monsters were so terrifying that Chu Weiwei nearly fainted from fright.
“This is incredible…” Chu Weiwei felt that her views on life and her complete worldview were being reshaped right now.
There were at least a few dozen monsters there.
There were some that were even at the Colonel level.
All of them combined were enough to make things difficult for a Blackguard Colonel.
But now, they were acting more like a school of fish that had just run into a whale. They could only tremble and huddle together as this powerful enemy forced them into a corner.
If they fought back, they would definitely die.
If they wanted to escape, there was nowhere to run!
