“With the town level as a unit?”

Outside the courtyard, Ling Yi and Lin Shurou were resting on the long wooden chairs.

Ling Yi frowned when he saw the message. “So, they’re trying to say that we can only use Firefly town’s Night Stones?”

“Yes, that’s right.” Lin Shurou nodded.

“Then what about those who are temporarily staying outside or just passing by? Would they be registered in our town or in household registration?”

“Household registration, I guess.”

At this moment, the sun was still on the horizon in the west and had not completely set.

The light of the setting sun shone on their backs, casting two blurry shadows on the ground in front of them.

Seeing that there were only a few minutes left, Ling Yi couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.

The reason was obvious.

His competitors were all the players in this town.

…

At around five o’clock, almost all the ordinary people had returned home and closed their doors and curtains.

There were only a few people who remained outside for various reasons.

But now, they were also desperately rushing back.

Time passed by a second.

At 5:57 PM, the sun had set, and the sky was filled with the afterglow.

At 5:59 PM, the sunset had completely disappeared.

And as the clock strikes 6:00 PM, the sky suddenly turns dark!

However, after a few seconds, the surroundings were still quiet, as if nothing had happened.

Just as Lin Shurou was looking around in confusion, Ling Yi suddenly opened his eyes and said, “I can sense them!”

“They’re outside our gates!”

“Okay. Be careful!”

“Thanks,” Ling Yi leaped into the air and flew towards the creatures that were closest to him.

The monster was only two streets away from the house, so it took him less than two seconds to reach the roof of a three-story house near the destination.

Looking down, one could see that on the empty street, there was a huge blood-red snake half a meter thick, fifteen meters long, and a red horn on its head slowly crawling.

He took a look at it with the [Eye of Truth].

[Name: Winged One-Horned Flame Snake (Lv50)]

[Type: Ordinary Monster]

[Attributes: strength 150, mana 50, agility 100, endurance 50, physique 150]

[Skills: Burning Body (6 Stars), Flame Sky Pillar (6 Stars), Fierce Tail Whip (4 Stars), High-Speed Impact (4 Stars)…]

[Current Status: Healthy]

[Prompt: There will be no experience, skills, or other rewards for killing monsters in this area. Only activity currency will be dropped.]

What surprised Ling Yi was that this monster actually had a total of 10 Skills!

‘I’ve heard that the higher the monster’s level, the more Skills it has. I guess this is the case.’

He reached out and summoned the Battle Flag, and attached his Dual Elemental Spirit Blades to it.

He then teleported and appeared on top of the Winged One-Horned Flame Snake. He raised the flaming flag high in his hand and swung it down!

Although the Winged One-Horned Flame Snake managed to react, it was still a step too slow, and the flag cut down the left side of its head.

At the same time, a raging flame suddenly erupted from the wound, surging towards all parts of the one-horned flame snake’s body.

After landing, Ling Yi was about to give chase. However, the Winged One-Horned Flame Snake ignored the hot flames on its body and suddenly used its [High-Speed Impact] Skill to charge at him!

It was extremely fast!

Just as the burning snake head was about to hit him, Ling Yi finally reacted and teleported in time, narrowly avoiding the attack.

The One-Horned Flame Snake was unable to stop its charge, and it crashed into three electric poles 50 meters away, and it continued to charge for more than 100 meters.

And the sound echoed into the streets, spreading out for about a hundred meters!

“Tsk.”

Ling Yi couldn’t help but frown when he sensed that there were people speeding towards him.

“So troublesome.”

With the [Intelligence-Lowering Halo], he wasn’t afraid of people plotted against him behind his back. And not only that, the Ice Queen, who had entered her second form, had the combat power of a Beast King.

Which was why he wasn’t worried about showing his face before they arrived.

No matter what, the world did not revolve around him.

It was impossible for anyone to think of the world-famous “01” when they saw a young powerhouse.

Seeing the one-horned flaming snake turn its head and look back, Ling Yi immediately raised the burning battle flag and activated the Light Element’s gravity to swing it!

In an instant, a bright and dazzling wave of flames shot out from the Battle Flag, and it rapidly grew in size as it flew!

The speed of the light wave was extremely fast, even faster than when it used the [High-Speed Impact] just now!

The One-Horned Flame Snake didn’t even have time to react before the wave of light struck its body.

Although it didn’t split it into two, it still roared in pain!

“Hiss-”

The 15-meter-long snake’s body stiffened for a moment.

Seeing this, Ling Yi hurriedly raised the burning Battle Flag and once again struck it with a wave of flames.

Not only did the flame wave deal enough damage, but it was also fast and intimidating.

Wherever the light wave passed, a straight and deep trench would be cut into the ground. The heat in the trench was boiling, and the soil was scorching red.

It made people feel a deep sense of danger.

The moment Ling Yi released the wave of flames, the players nearby all rushed over.

Some were standing on the roadside, some were standing on the roof, some were sitting on their summoned beasts, and some were floating in the air.

“Sh*t– An Elemental Spirit Blade!!?”

“And it’s a dual-element one! The f*ck!”

“Light and fire elemental blade! Awesome! Awesome! I only just found out that there was such a powerful guy in our town. Does anybody know him?”

“I don’t know him. I’ve never seen him before.”

While the group of people was exclaiming in shock, the ‘super mutation system’ in front of Ling Yi’s eyes was also rapidly changing.

[You absorbed 75 surprise points from Zhang Feng.]

[You have absorbed 63 curiosity points from Zhang Feng.]

[You have absorbed 81 points of surprise value from the Essence Core.]

[You…]

They didn’t get close, but they stayed around to watch.

“The One-Horned Flame Snake is a level 50 monster. This guy must be at least level 50 to be able to suppress it.”

“Tsk, tsk, tsk. He’s gone to find other monsters.”

The wave of flames was very aggressive and intimidating. Many players shook their heads when they saw it and turned around to look for monsters in other places.

There were also some people who came closer and waved at Ling Yi, “Hey! Hey, brother! Do you need help?”

“No need!” Ling Yi rejected him decisively.

Helping was fake, but stealing monsters were real.

Seeing his refusal, those people didn’t ask again and quickly left the scene.

10 monsters would respawn every minute in town. They had no time to watch other people’s battles.

After a short while, very few players were left in the area.

After another half a minute, the One-Horned Flame Snake finally died under Ling Yi’s wave of flames.

When the monster turned into light spots and disappeared, he saw a shadow-like dark circle appear in the place where the monster died.

“Huh, what’s this?”

He subconsciously activated the [Eye of Truth].

[Dark Shadow Ring (6 Stars)]: Create a Dark Shadow Ring at a designated location, and the items on it can be sucked into the shadow space. (Unable to absorb living things)

Seeing this effect, Ling Yi immediately realized that someone had actually tried to steal his spoils of war!

However, because he had an [Hardworking Bee], the dropped items would automatically enter his rucksack, causing whoever it was to waste its own Skill.

However, Ling Yi still opened his rucksack just to be sure.

It was only when he saw that there was indeed a Night Stone in his rucksack that he was completely at ease.

He turned his head to look around and saw a black-robed figure on the roof of a two-story residential building dozens of meters away.

That guy was about to turn around and leave–

“Are you running away?”
