"Find Ji Yao."

Su Ming said in a condensed voice.

The bird immediately spread its wings and headed southwest, with extremely fast speed.

"Very good, looks like I didn't come to the wrong dungeon!"

"And, the distance between me and Ji Yao is also within 100 kilometers; it can be considered good luck that this item successfully took effect."

Su Ming followed the blue bird closely, rushing all the way.

In the night, his figure was fast to the extreme.

Lingbo Micro-steps were silent, turning him into a pitch-black shadow, rushing through the village.

Even the sound of his footsteps was minimal, almost inaudible.

Su Ming didn't know how long he would have to run.

Because Ji Yao and the others might be at the 100-kilometer limit.

Or they might be less than 5 kilometers away.

Everything was unknown.

But at the very least, the fact that the tracking bird could take effect meant one thing.

She was still alive!

This E-rank dungeon was one level weaker than the D-rank dungeon Su Ming had cleared.

Ordinary monsters could basically be killed in one sword strike.

But one still couldn't be arrogant.

The attack power of elite monsters was still very high, and they might carry some troublesome characteristics, such as poison, disease, etc.

He remained fully focused, his gaze as calm as water.

He observed everything, preventing any mistakes, and must rush over at the fastest speed!

Roar!

Suddenly, the village ruins ahead collapsed with a bang.

Dust scattered everywhere.

From within, a white-skinned villager covered in dust rushed out.

It was still alive, but had lost its sanity; its body had been strengthened by the corrupt disease, giving it the combat power of a First-Turn.

It could no longer be called a "person."

But a corpse that was completely rotten, with crazy, blood-red eyes, no different from a monster.

Its body was covered in dense sores, and the rotten skin peeled off like withered leaves.

Su Ming immediately scanned the monster's information.

[Corrupt Disease Villager]

[Level: 11]

[Strength: 128 points]

[Physique: 79 points]

[Agility: 42 points]

[Spirit: 0 points]

[Skills: Bloodthirsty Gnawing, Painful Claws, Corrupt Contagion, Painful Roar...]

[An ordinary villager from a barren mountain village, after being infected with the corrupt disease, it turned into a terrifying monster.]

The villager was like a living dead, walking with a strange posture, its whole body covered in white ash, rubble fragments, and pus and blood flowing.

It rushed toward Su Ming in a twisted manner, emitting a hoarse roar.

Su Ming was expressionless, his thoughts moving slightly.

"Jin Lin, eat it."

Facing this kind of First-Turn monster, Su Ming no longer needed to take action himself.

His voice was low, and his running movement didn't even slow down.

He directly bypassed the monster.

The rotting villager thought Su Ming was afraid.

It looked ferocious, opened its bloody mouth, and chased after Su Ming.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a golden stream of light flew out from the scabbard on Su Ming's back.

The golden-veined long sword swam in mid-air, the soft blade turning and folding.

Subsequently, it suddenly rushed toward this corrupt monster!

The golden scale patterns reflected a thin golden glow in the moonlight.

It directly wrapped around the villager's head.

On the blade, the rows of golden fish scales began to slightly lift, just like sharp saw-teeth.

Subsequently, the soft blade began to wrap around the monster, spiraling downward.

Snap, snap, snap, snap.

Blood and pus splashed together.

In just a few seconds, a large living monster instantly disappeared.

Not even bones were left.

Only a few yellow, sour-smelling teeth were left on the ground.

It wasn't that the Golden-Veined Sword couldn't bite it, but because it was too disgusting, and it had no appetite for this thing.

On those teeth, there were still a few strands of flesh embedded.

The Golden-Veined Fish Sword turned and flew into the air, full and satisfied, its scales becoming shining.

It even wanted to show off its clean and neat battle record to its master.

But when it turned to look, its blood-red eyeball was suddenly stunned.

Damn it, the master had already run hundreds of meters away and hadn't waited for it at all.

It immediately used all its strength, swam and rushed over, and finally caught up to Su Ming's side.

It wrapped around the scabbard again, its whole body squirming, seemingly digesting the delicious meal just now.

[Golden-Veined Sword Fish ate a Corrupt Villager, obtained temporary affix effect: Corrupt Sword Blade]

[Corrupt Sword Blade: Within ten minutes, this sword adds 10% corrupt damage]

[EXP +470]

It only ate a First-Turn monster, not even an elite monster.

But being able to obtain this kind of temporary BUFF was acceptable.

Added to Su Ming's Corrupt-Breaking Sword Shirt, his corrupt damage would be very high within these ten minutes.

He rushed forward, not stopping for half a step.

"This village is so big; I've run for several miles and haven't even left the boundary."

"Could it be that this dungeon is all village?"

No wonder Ji Yao said the environment here was complex, and the assassins hadn't caught them for half a day.

Only this kind of complex place full of houses could one possibly hide in.

If it were a plain or glacier dungeon, there would be no way to hide.

At this time, Su Ming passed by a graveyard.

Here stood dozens of tombstones, with small grave mounds bulging up.

Roar...

Hiss...

Painful groans came from the graves.

Dozens of rotting villagers crawled out from the tombstones.

Their bodies had already been decomposed by the soil, long since dried up, and the degree of corruption was shocking.

There were old people, there were children, all of them looking ferocious.

The surroundings were like a hell on earth.

They opened their red eyes, crawled toward Su Ming, and surrounded him.

Su Ming was expressionless and made a gesture.

"Jin Lin, eat them fiercely."

Hum!

The Golden-Veined Sword Fish suddenly spun out.

It really hadn't followed the wrong master; there was plenty to eat!

It seemed extremely excited, swimming in mid-air, then turned into a golden glow, rapidly crisscrossing the entire battlefield.

It gnawed all those villagers until they were riddled with holes, and all the flesh went into its stomach.

Jin Lin is both a sword and an exotic pet, with a certain degree of self-awareness.

So the best thing about using this weapon is that Su Ming doesn't need to spend any thought!

It can automatically kill enemies.

Su Ming also drew his Black Blade and slashed out normal attacks.

He was extremely fast, rushing forward with Lingbo Micro-steps.

His goal was not to annihilate these villagers.

Because his level was too high, killing low-level monsters already had EXP decay.

The gains obtained were almost a drop in the bucket.

So his goal was to break through!

Su Ming raised his hand, and in an instant, five fierce sword strikes were slashed out, three of which were attached with [Corrupt-Breaking Sword Shirt] normal attack corrupt sword qi damage, directly killing a large area of monsters.

You don't like corruption? Then rot even more.

Their bodies were already rotting, and they were then severely injured by the corrupt sword qi.

One can imagine, they directly rotted into fly ash.

Su Ming passed through gracefully, not stopping for half a step.

He chased closely after the blue bird.

Behind him, the Golden-Veined Scale Sword also followed, wrapping around the scabbard, its scale light rising greatly.

It had killed all those dozens of villagers.

Su Ming obtained 9,000 EXP.

One villager was worth about 300+ EXP.

If it were a Second-Turn newbie, this EXP value would really be a lot.

But for Su Ming, it was a bit little.

At this moment, deep in the dungeon.

A three-person team was huddled in a ruined house.

There was blood on the ground, and everyone was severely injured and extremely weak.

Surrounded by numerous assassins, they had fled in a sorry state for many days and had long since run out of supplies.

All healing potions had been drunk.

Yan Ze's injury was the most serious!

Half of his arm had already been severed, and he had lost a lot of blood.

His consciousness was blurred, and he sat leaning against the wall.

He had to use willpower to hold on so as not to faint.

Ji Yao held her broken sickle, her lips pale, standing by the window, checking the situation around.

Her lively eyes observed everywhere.

"The messages we sent out during this time... seem to have been blocked, with no response."

"Even Su Ming... didn't answer."

"The fighting within the dungeon is originally allowed by rules and law; no one will save us."

"This time, I'm afraid we... are really going to die in here."

Ji Yao bit her silver teeth, her eyes showing a hint of unwillingness.

"It's all my fault... it's all my fault for getting you all implicated."

Jiang Yunqing's eyes were full of guilt, her fists clenched, and blood was squeezed out of her palms.

"Yan Ze, don't die..."

"It's all because something happened to my family that harmed you all."

She walked to Yan Ze and said while crying.

Yan Ze had black lines on his forehead and gave a bitter smile.

"You... don't... curse me anymore."

"I have at least... promoted to Second-Turn, no matter what, I won't... die just from a severed arm."

The vitality of Second-Turn class-changers is not on the same level as ordinary people.

Even with a severed arm or leg, they wouldn't easily die.

Unless the treatment opportunity is delayed for too long.
