Chapter 48: Re-entering the Explorer Challenge

Zhao Yuxin opened the Material Box, and after a flash of white light, an RPG rocket launcher, three Type 93 anti-personnel mines, eight rubber units, and a bucket of milk appeared inside.

The moment he saw the rocket launcher and the landmines, Zhu Zhiquan's eyes lit up, and he immediately took them into his hands to fiddle with them for a long time.

"How about that? My luck is pretty good, right?" Zhao Yuxin immediately put her hands on her hips, looking incredibly smug.

But Zhu Zhiquan only had eyes for the rocket launcher and the landmines now, completely ignoring Zhao Yuxin, which made her very angry, and she went to the driver's seat alone to sulk.

After satisfying his craving, Zhu Zhiquan remembered there was one thing he hadn't done yet, "Right! I haven't read my copy of the Hell Walker Manual yet!"

Zhu Zhiquan immediately pulled out the Hell Walker Manual and began to flip through it; in an instant, the surrounding environment transformed into various scenes of hell, and countless wronged souls circled around him.

Afterward, a team of walkers from hell walked toward their tricycle; upon reaching the carriage, they immediately split into two teams, and a Red Ghost Envoy holding a steel fork placed a cloak made of skulls and flesh upon him.

"You have successfully read the Hell Walker Manual and obtained the Hell Walker talent and the Nightmare Demon Eye."

Hell Walker: Congratulations on becoming a member of the Hell Enforcers. Hell Walkers are the most basic Hell Enforcer personnel; your aura will make demons and ghosts feel fear.

Therefore, they will suffer additional damage from you, and the damage you receive from demons and ghosts is reduced by 10%.

Nightmare Demon Eye: This is a basic skill of the Hell Walker, capable of identifying information on demons and ghosts, and increasing your dynamic vision. It is bad for your eyes when used; please pay attention to the duration of use.

After reading the information on Hell Walker and Nightmare Demon Eye, Zhu Zhiquan was extremely satisfied, so he used the final reading opportunity of the Hell Walker Manual.

Immediately, the previous scene appeared again, though this time no Hell Walkers came out to greet him.

"You have successfully read the Hell Walker Manual and obtained the Hell Body."

Hell Body: You have obtained a body tempered by hell; Magic Power cap +5. Whenever night falls, you can obtain a bonus from hell, namely all attributes +2.

After reading the Hell Walker Manual, Zhu Zhiquan went to the driver's seat to share the good news with Zhao Yuxin, but Zhao Yuxin was still angry and ignored him.

Zhu Zhiquan talked until he was blue in the face before finally obtaining Zhao Yuxin's forgiveness, "Alright then, what are we doing tonight?"

Zhu Zhiquan said without hesitation: "Let's participate in the Explorer Challenge today; maybe we can have other gains."

"Mm."

Zhao Yuxin read Plant Cultivation and Modification and learned a skill from it—Plant Modification Array.

Plant Modification Array: By placing plants into a drawn Magic Array, you can add materials into the array to obtain new plants. Please note that each use requires 1 point of Magic Power.

Seeing that the new skill had no damage, Zhao Yuxin immediately complained: "Hmm~ this book doesn't seem to have any offensive talents or skills."

Zhu Zhiquan patted her head without saying a word, and at this moment, a fox crashed into the tricycle, breaking the silence.

Zhu Zhiquan also happened to take the fox's soul for a Soul Sacrifice, but unfortunately, the system prompted that the fox's soul was incomplete, so it was not successful, and Zhao Yuxin immediately set up a pot to cook.

After the two prepared, they walked toward the interior of the desert; after walking for less than five minutes, Zhao Yuxin discovered a village, so she led Zhu Zhiquan into the village.

Zhu Zhiquan lit the Fire Tinder and carefully observed the village, only to see that the village was full of collapsed houses, and the wind made a shrill whistling sound as it passed through the village.

Suddenly sensing something, she dashed over; Zhu Zhiquan followed behind Zhao Yuxin to a well, and Zhao Yuxin pointed at the well and said: "Ajiu, there is a secret passage inside here. How about this, I will go down along the rope of the well first, and you wait above for now."

Zhu Zhiquan nodded lightly, then Zhao Yuxin climbed down the well, and when she felt it was about right, Zhao Yuxin jumped down directly.

"Ajiu, it's okay now," she called out.

Immediately, Zhu Zhiquan threw the Fire Tinder into the well first, confirmed the specific height, and jumped into the well directly.

Boom!

The huge sound echoed in the secret passage; Zhao Yuxin covered her ears and squatted on the ground, and Zhu Zhiquan hurried over to help her up and asked.

"You still have the nerve to ask! The sound of you landing made my ears ache; my Bat Wing Ear is temporarily unusable now. If we encounter danger, don't pray that I can discover it in advance!" Zhao Yuxin pointed at Zhu Zhiquan's nose and scolded.

Zhu Zhiquan immediately bowed and apologized: "I am very sorry about that. How about this, let's rest here for a while, and we will move on once your ears have recovered."

Zhao Yuxin was still in a state of tinnitus at this time and could not hear what he said for the moment. However, based on Zhu Zhiquan's attitude, Zhao Yuxin could also judge what Zhu Zhiquan had said.

Zhao Yuxin waved her hand and sat on the ground, saying: "It's fine, let's rest here for a while first. It just so happens that I'm tired after walking for so long."

Zhu Zhiquan also sat next to Zhao Yuxin to comfort her, but at this moment, roars came from the end of the secret passage, and Zhu Zhiquan immediately grabbed the Dagger Spear and stood up.

Seeing Zhu Zhiquan's reaction, Zhao Yuxin picked up the Fire Tinder and aimed the Wrist-Mounted Strange Crossbow forward. As the sound approached, the two used the faint light of the Fire Tinder to see clearly who the visitor was.

They saw three small zombies only as high as their calves staying outside the limit of the Fire Tinder's illumination. While the two were confused, the three small zombies screamed and ran back the way they came.

"Why did they run away?" Zhao Yuxin turned her head to ask, and Zhu Zhiquan was also puzzled, so the two simply ignored it.

In fact, it was the influence of Zhu Zhiquan's Hell Walker talent that made the three small zombies feel the aura of death, so they turned and left.

After Zhao Yuxin's ears recovered, the two continued to advance along the secret passage. After passing a few turns, the two arrived at a huge space, where many coffins were placed, and it was unknown what was inside.

Zhu Zhiquan was a bit curious and tried to open one of the coffins, but it was very strenuous to push.

Zhao Yuxin on the side teased: "Ajiu, your Hell Walker talent is quite useful. Look, these zombies are all hiding in their coffins, not daring to come out."

Zhu Zhiquan: "............"

Suddenly, Zhao Yuxin had a bright idea and said: "Ajiu, I just thought of a very good idea that needs your help. Do you think it's possible?"

Zhu Zhiquan: "?"

Three minutes later.

"Open the door! Open the door quickly! We're here to clean up vice and evil, hurry up! Open the door immediately!"

"You! Stop sleeping! Hand over your valuables! Oh my—you actually dare to resist! Ajiu, hit him!"

……………

Zhao Yuxin relied on the characteristics of Zhu Zhiquan's Hell Walker talent to knock on the coffins of the zombies... No! It should be that she was borrowing money from them!

Under Zhu Zhiquan's intimidation, every zombie obediently handed over their valuables, although these things were of no use to them. But who would turn away money?

As for those who didn't listen... What? Do you want to hear what those brothers who were sacrificed by Zhu Zhiquan have to say? They guarantee that permanent residency in hell is issued for free, and everyone who receives it says it's good.
