Chapter 610: Low-spec Clear

Not counting it?

That's it!

Xiao Feng glanced at her position and quickly flew over.

Mang Mei was searching under a particularly large pile of rubble; in front of her lay a bulging pile of debris, surrounded by building frames, not fully collapsed inside, and there was a small room's space.

At that moment, a corpse ghost was working inside.

Hmm… this one is actually quite proper—clothes intact, only missing an arm and half a brain. He held an iron shovel, filling a pit with dirt.

Meanwhile, inside that pit, another corpse ghost's silhouette could be faintly seen.

Look at this… are they burying a companion alive?

Oh, no, that doesn't count as a live burial—it's 'resting in earth'!

After all, they're already dead!

"Could this pit be the one marked on the wooden plaque?" Xiao Feng wondered.

Mang Mei shook her head slightly: "I don't know either, but it feels similar."

"I'll go in and take a look."

Xiao Feng, skilled and bold, unafraid of being molested by corpse ghosts, marched in with a flaming spiritual barrier.

This hollow rubble was tough to enter; he exerted too much force, and the flaming spiritual barrier blasted the roof apart.

Upon noticing someone approaching, the one-armed corpse ghost burying dirt turned its head and let out an angry hiss.

Then an iron shovel came swinging at him.

Whoosh~

Xiao Feng's speed was greater; a regular-sized ice arrow flew past and instantly killed him.

He then approached the pit and looked down.

Sure enough, a body was buried there, but its significance was unknown.

Xiao Feng reached out, grabbed the body from the pit, and pulled it out.

This corpse had not turned into a walking dead; it was thoroughly dead.

It appeared to be a young boy.

He clutched a letter in his arms—surely the crucial clue.

Xiao Feng took the envelope and opened it.

The note contained several lines; the system automatically translated the content as: 【The monster says we deserve our fate, wanting us to die without a burial place, never to rise again. But we have done nothing wrong—we were just living normally. My child, I hope you can still awaken to avenge us…】

"What does this mean?"

Xiao Feng was somewhat puzzled.

There was nothing else inside the pit.

He called his teammates

All were called over, and the note was shown to everyone.

Zhang Fan analyzed: "Judging by this scene's plot, we likely need to bury the child's corpse so the dead have a resting place, breaking the Ancient God Clan's curse. Perhaps after burial, the child will revive and become the next clue."

Everyone thought about it and felt it was roughly the same meaning.

Thus Xiao Feng went back in, buried the child in the pit, enlarged it a bit, and also placed the corpse of the "father" who had just been killed, burying them together.

After the burial, everyone waited.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes…

The scene showed no change.

Li Li weakly said: "Lao Xiao, did you overdo it? The adult's corpse probably shouldn't be buried together."

"Uh… should I dig him out again?" Xiao Feng said, twitching the corner of his mouth, reluctant.

"Perhaps… we should bury all the corpses!" Mang Mei ventured a guess.

Everyone's expressions instantly grew even stranger.

This small town has at least several hundred corpses, and some of them, filled with too much resentment, refused to die peacefully and turned into wandering corpses, which are quite troublesome.

If we buried them one by one, it would take far too long!

Defeating a boss takes less than a minute, but burying a corpse takes hours—this is utterly absurd!

But on second thought, without Xiao Feng, perhaps we couldn't even beat a boss that took several hours.

The way to pass this stage might actually be what Mang Mei said!

"Let's give it a try, keeping an eye out for any other clues while we're at it," Xiao Feng said helplessly.

There's too little to reference for this stage; we can only attempt based on the known clues.

He rose to prepare for action.

At that moment, Xing Yun Miao suddenly said: "Perhaps… we don't necessarily have to bury them all. The town has too many corpses; the system couldn't possibly demand we bury them all in such a perverse way."

"What do you think, Miao Jie?" Xiao Feng asked.

She looked around at the rubble, thoughtfully saying: "You see these ruins? They've already buried those corpses; we just need to inter the visible parts sticking out. Or we could use some fire magic to cremate them."

Xiao Feng's expression stiffened.

That said…

Overall, it feels a bit weird.

But it seems like a viable method, and its advantage is simplicity!

Everyone felt this method was feasible, so they split up to act.

The six people split up and wandered the streets; after about an hour, they buried all the corpses exposed to the open air.

When the last corpse was buried, the system message indeed popped up.

System prompt: 【Progress of the Blood‑Weeping Wasteland dungeon: 3/7, please keep up the good work!】

This stage is considered cleared, a treasure chest appears in the central area of the small town.

But this treasure chest looks relatively small.

【Since the completion rate of this stage's dungeon is below 60%, rewards are reduced by 50%!】

The system added an additional information prompt.

Xing Yun Miao's pretty face blushed, she said embarrassedly: "Um... it seems my method isn't working."

"Eh, as long as we pass, it's fine; we're not lacking that bit of reward." Zhang Fan said indifferently.

Others had roughly the same thought, though they were still curious about the method with the highest completion rate, wondering if they really had to bury everything.

"It's not necessarily that the reward will be less; let our lucky one open the chest, the 50% reward might even be more than what the non‑lucky Dun Dun would get from opening two old chests!" Li Li said in a strange tone.

"Damn it!" Dun Dun, angry, sprinted toward the chest, puffing angrily: "I'm going to get lucky once to show you!"

Many in the team had faster movement speed than her, but nobody rushed ahead, letting her open the chest.

Whoosh~

A flash of white light passed, and several piles of divine stones appeared on the ground, six experience orbs, plus one tool key.

As for equipment... there wasn't even a shadow of it!

Xiao Feng nodded slightly: "Looks like Dun Dun is pretty unlucky."

Wuu~

Dun Dun, who couldn't get anything, hugged her shield and cried feeling wronged.

"Well done, next time don't open chests at all, don't even get close!" Li Li patted her armored shoulder.

The small town's treasure chest gave them a total of 35,000 divine stones, and each person 35,000 cultivation.

Although it's not a lot, losing 50% still feels painful.

Xing Yun Miao and Dun Dun were both embarrassed, immediately falling silent.

Although the reward was halved, the tool key is still there.

Now they already have three keys; after clearing three more bosses, they can open the final forbidden land prison and carry out the ultimate battle!

"Let's go, on to the next one!" Xiao Feng waved his hand, the six‑member team passed through the small town and continued forward.
