At night, in the dorms of District C.
In a flash, another half a month passed.
During this period, a legend about someone called the “Shield Ghost” suddenly spread in the Giant Rock Cave.
It was a powerful martial artist wearing an evil ghost mask and holding a big shield in one hand. He had killed two mystic realm kings in a row alone. In the end, he still felt that it was not enough and even killed the experienced mystic realm king. In the end, he waved his hand and left coolly.
Moreover, many wasteland reclaimers guessed that this person was probably a lone wolf and not a wasteland reclaimer from the Germinal Organization.
This was because if Shield Ghost was a wasteland reclaimer, the items obtained from killing the Earth Dragon King would definitely be handed over. The Germinal Organization would also reward him internally and inform all the wasteland reclaimers to learn from him. However, so far, nothing of the sort had happened.
Countless martial artists wanted to know the true identity of Shield Ghost. The Flying Peng Team, the Wind-Chasing Team, and the Big Bird Rotation Team had all posted announcements at the safety station, hoping that this Shield Ghost would join their team.
The captain of the Cloud Shadow Team and the son of the manager, Zhou Feng, even took out 100,000 general coins to reward Shield Ghost, hoping to talk to this powerful martial artist in person.
However, Shield Ghost was never found, and no one knew where he was.
However, this reward had always existed, and it had become the topic of discussion for many wasteland reclaimers.
The nickname they had spread by word of mouth also reached Lin Xuan’s ears. He was immediately at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
What a stupid name!
Lin Xuan sat on the bed and smiled helplessly. “Let’s think about how to obtain experience first.”
During this period of time, through the training of the Gold Swallowing Lizard, he had successfully increased his Weaken from precious purple to peerless golden.
The effect of Weaken also changed drastically after it was upgraded to the peerless golden level.
…
Name: Weaken
Level: Level one First Realm
Quality: Peerless Golden
Learning Requirement: Spirit 7
Effect: It does not consume magic power to reduce one’s level and attributes. It also reduces one’s sense of existence. Its duration is limitless and can be activated at will.
…
Lin Xuan smiled and said, “Ordinary martial artists rarely waste their energy on skill books, much less invest experience points to level up. Even if they know the effect of this skill, very few people would specialize in it.”
Other than that, Endless Life, Iron Wall, Thorn Body, Steel Body, Observer, and Concealment Technique had also advanced to the peerless gold grade after Lin Xuan collected enough skill books.
Then, he also increased his martial artist level from level one to level four First Realm.
Then, he used up all his experience.
“As a First Realm martial artist, I need at least 10,000 units each time I want to level up. I’m consuming my points too quickly.”
Lin Xuan required 10,000 experience points to get to level two, 20,000 experience points to get to level three, and 30,000 experience points to get to level four.
The Gold Swallowing Lizard kept hacking on the ninth floor of the Giant Rock Cave, but it was still unable to obtain enough experience.
At this moment, an urgent alarm sounded from within the Germinal Organization.
“Warning! Demon beasts have surged out of the first floor’s Mystic Realm Demon Ant Nest and have currently occupied the hall. Some of the demon beasts have rushed out of the hall and are attacking District B and C!”
“All wasteland reclaimers and Overseers in District A. B, C, and D, please resist the attack of the demon beasts immediately!”
Lin Xuan’s face flashed with surprise.
These demon beasts had always reproduced a large number of offspring, causing them to constantly surge out of the door of light and attack various parts of the Earth. It was not like this had never happened before. However, Lin Xuan had never encountered such a thing.
After being slightly surprised, Lin Xuan seemed to have thought of something and was suddenly overjoyed.
Wasn’t this Demon Ant Nest attack on the Germinal Organization the perfect opportunity for his avatar to train?
Then, he heard his superior, District C Overseer Lu Luo, give a calm order.
“All wasteland reclaimers in District C, come out and face the enemy!”
Crash.
The wasteland reclaimers in Lin Xuan’s dorm were originally sleeping soundly. When they heard the alarm, they immediately woke up, put on their clothes, and rushed outside.
Lin Xuan also made the same expression as he mixed into the crowd and ran out of the dormitory.
As soon as he came out, he saw a large group of huge black ants crazily attacking a cold-faced loli in a small suit. Every ant was the size of a calf, and their sharp jaws flickered with a cold light. They could cut off an ordinary person’s limbs with a single bite.
Lu Luo still looked 13 or 14 years old, but the aura on her body was even stronger. She had probably eaten many items that permanently increased her attributes.
Lu Luo’s back was facing them as she waved a huge sickle in one hand.
The sickle emitted a dense death aura. Just looking at it made one feel as if they were trapped.
With every swing of the sickle, a large number of black ants would be cut into two. The black ants were unable to resist at all and their body seemed as weak as tofu.
However, Lin Xuan knew that these ants were called Steel Ants. They were a type of demon beast with extremely high defensive strength in the Demon Ant Nest.
The attacks of the other First Realm martial artists landed on their bodies, probably only able to cause a few light injuries.
Lu Luo did not turn around. Instead, she waved the huge sickle and spoke calmly.
“Whoever performs well in this battle against the demon beasts will be directly promoted to a higher level in the organization. Moreover, they will be rewarded with a blue equipment or a blue skill book.”
“Did you hear that?!”
Lu Luo shouted.
The wasteland reclaimers were originally not very energetic. After all, what did fighting the demon beasts have to do with them? However, when they heard this, their eyes immediately lit up.
There was a reward!
Lin Xuan nodded slightly.
He did not need any rare blue equipment or rare blue skill books. What he needed was to increase his level in the organization.
After more than half a month of advancement, he was already a three-star wasteland reclaimer. As long as he advanced further and became a four-star wasteland reclaimer, he would be able to enjoy a single dormitory without having to live with others.
“Let the battle begin. First Realm martial artists, you will deal with First Realm demon beasts. Zero Realm martial artists, you will team up and deal with a single demon beast together. I’ll deal with the stronger First Realm demon beasts.”
With that said, Lu Luo rushed into the ant swarm with the huge sickle in hand.
The huge sickle waved, instantly killing a path of blood. No matter how many First Realm Steel Ants there were, they could not stop the footsteps of a Fourth Realm martial artist.
Lin Xuan looked at the corpses on the ground, deep in thought.
After he advanced to the First Realm, he obtained a second avatar slot, but he had never used it.
This was because even if he used it, he would only be able to possess the demon beasts of the Giant Rock Cave. No matter how hard he tried, the experience points he obtained could no longer keep up with the speed of consumption.
He hoped to Possess a First Realm demon beast and let it train in the Demon Ant Nest.
In this way, the first avatar, the Gold Swallowing Lizard, could focus on obtaining various minerals in the Giant Rock Cave. This second avatar could obtain experience points in the Demon Ant Nest to facilitate his rapid growth.
[Dead target detected, analysis in progress…]
[Steel Worker Ant, a First Realm Demon Beast. Attributes: Constitution 23, Strength 17, Agility 9, Spirit 8. Skills: Gathering, Cut, Steel Armor.]
[Cause of death: Split into two by a giant sickle.]
[Currently, you have an extra avatar slot. Do you want to take over the body of the Steel Worker Ant and use it as a training avatar?]
[Remarks: This dead target will immediately be revived with full health.]
Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly.
He could not get a new avatar right now.
Lu Luo was nearby. After this Steel Worker Ant was possessed and revived, it would be casually killed by Lu Luo.
Moreover, Lin Xuan knew that the worker ants were only at the bottom of the food chain of the Demon Ant Nest. There were also soldier ants, breeding ants, and the ant queen.
The worker ants were too weak. If it accidentally died, he would have no choice but to possess another avatar. At that time, things would be difficult. After all, he had chanced upon this demon invasion by luck. He did not know when the next time would be.
Soon, the worker ants in the corridor were all killed.
The wasteland reclaimers in District C followed Lu Luo to the hall.
The situation in the hall became even worse.
Many wasteland reclaimers had already gathered here, forming a defensive line to resist the demon beasts.
The overseers of the other districts also dealt with the stronger demon beasts like Lu Luo and left the weaker ones to the wasteland reclaimers.
Lin Xuan immediately saw the Overseer of District B, Yang Wei. He was different from the other overseers. He did not move at all, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
The wasteland reclaimers in District B were dying, but he pretended not to see it.
Lin Xuan shook his head. Fortunately, he had left District B, or else he might not have been able to resist his explosive temper and would have grabbed Yang Wei and beaten him up.
Lin Xuan swept his gaze around and discovered that the people in the hall were all Steel Soldier Ants. Other than Steel Soldier Ants, there were even bigger Steel Soldier Ants with sharper double jaws. These Steel Soldier Ants were at least level three First Realm.
Just now, a huge Steel Soldier Ant had taken the opportunity to bite a wasteland reclaimer.
The giant jaw bit him into two. The unlucky wasteland reclaimer died in an extremely tragic manner.
“Kill! If you want to obtain a reward, work hard and kill!”
Lu Luo shouted.
Under the incentive of the rewards, the wasteland reclaimers in District C and the wasteland reclaimers in the other districts were clearly different. All of them rushed forward one by one. The other wasteland reclaimers did the bare minimum and did not contribute as much as possible, afraid that they would fall into danger.
Lu Luo looked very cold, but when her subordinates were in danger, she would save them in time. Then, she shouted with a cold expression, “Retreat if you don’t have the strength!”
After dozens of minutes, the wasteland reclaimers in District C were at most severely injured. In comparison, many more wasteland reclaimers in the other districts had died.
On the surface, Lin Xuan was also killing Demon Ants. He also took the opportunity to work with the other wasteland reclaimers to kill many worker ants and soldier ants. He even received praise from Lu Luo.
In fact, he was busy scanning the many soldier ants, choosing the one with the best attributes.
A few minutes later, he found the soldier ant with the best attributes, but it was alive.
“I can’t kill it myself. I have to rely on others…”
Lin Xuan stared at Lu Luo’s back as she waved the huge sickle around, and a plan appeared in his mind.
