I was just afraid you didn't get to taste it properly. Shall I bring another steamer?\" the waiter asked tentatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am tired. I have to continue my journey early tomorrow morning. Quickly go prepare a guest room for me; do not delay my rest.\" Wu Chang slapped some silver fragments onto the table, cutting off the waiter's further sales pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The waiter hurriedly fell silent and went upstairs to prepare the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Wu Chang entered the guest room carrying his sword, bolted the door, and then took a bun out from his personal space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he hadn't eaten the buns earlier; that entire steamer had been tossed into his personal space while his palm obscured his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, without the waiter's interference, as soon as the bun was taken out, an indescribable stench of rot could be smelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Breaking open the filling, it was packed with rotting, maggot-infested scraps of putrid meat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed a black shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the sound of steady breathing came from within the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the latter half of the night, rustling sounds came from within the inn, like someone creeping forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the second-floor guest room, two voices spoke in whispers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he asleep?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He should be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You go check. If he's awake, he'll be terrified, and scared meat is sour.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I happen to like sour; it cuts the greasiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Suit yourself, but keep it clean. If you don't clean up properly, no one else will come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voices vanished, and the inn fell back into silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, the wind picked up outside, whistling and howling, annoying Wu Chang inside the room enough that he turned over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing he hadn't woken up, the wind outside grew even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gust of wind blew in through the window crack, pushing the window open from the inside out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A monster with a cow skull for a head, human bones for a body, ribs spread out like wings, and a back covered in long, black animal fur drifted into the room with the wind like a giant kite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Supported by the wind, it slowly draped itself over Wu Chang on the bed like a black blanket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cow skull opened its mouth and shouted urgently in the waiter's voice: \"Young Master, wake up quickly, there's a monster!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the cow-headed monster's past experience, the guest should wake up in a daze, look around, and ask blankly where the monster was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, it would slam down from above the bed, wrap the guest tight with its body, press its large cow head against the guest's face, and say, \"Are you looking for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, amidst the guest's terrified screams, it would poke its ribs into the guest's body and, without damaging the internal organs or flesh, suck the guest's blood dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, it would use a bone-cleaver and meat-hanging hooks to process this freshly made ingredient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this time, something went wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other party had stolen its line!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master, wake up quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at it with burning intensity, \"Are you looking for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, a blinding light erupted from beneath the blanket, piercing through the cow-headed monster's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flames at the wound were like a persistent disease; no matter how the cow-headed monster rolled, it could not extinguish them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fur is weak to fire, and as a monster, being shot by a silver bullet would cause double damage; it could be said that the cow-headed monster was perfectly countered by the Silver Dawn's skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cow-headed monster shrieked in the raging fire and said in disbelief, \"You didn't eat the bun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang casually threw a bun onto the ground and crushed it with his foot, revealing the special filling inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even a dog wouldn't eat this stuff.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You deserve to die!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was unclear what behavior had offended the cow-headed monster, but its eyes lit up with red light, the flames on its body were suddenly extinguished, and two human-bone arms extended from within its fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Wu Chang was not the least bit panicked. He shifted three steps to the left; the bed board he had been lying on snapped, and a nearly two-meter-long bone-cleaver flew out from within, slicing the furniture in half the room into two. The three steps he had taken were exactly enough to move him outside the range of the strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the cow-headed monster could grasp the bone-cleaver, he fired a silver bullet, breaking the cow-headed monster's right hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cow-headed monster let out a miserable howl, and a blood-stained iron hook hung down from the ceiling, slashing down vertically like a scorpion's tail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang had made preparations a step earlier, kicking over the wooden table in the room to use as a shield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron hook pierced the wooden table and lacked the force to go further. The cow-headed monster tried to use its left hand to grab the hook, but Wu Chang shot and shattered its left hand as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You came late today; I was almost asleep waiting for you.\" Wu Chang yawned and looked at the five resentments on the cow-headed monster's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a monster of a C-rank dungeon, the cow-headed monster didn't have many attack methods; the scenes within the five resentments were enough to reveal all its tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the fear that they had a combo skill when fighting two-on-one, and that only in the guest room could he force a one-on-one situation, he would have turned hostile back in the lobby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed his muzzle at the cow-headed monster's forehead and asked, \"Any last words?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cow-headed monster stared fixedly at the crushed bun on the ground, \"You shouldn't have wasted food.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang paused for a moment, then pulled the trigger and shattered the cow skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, my apologies.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the death of the cow-headed monster, dozens of phantoms flashed before Wu Chang's eyes; most of those phantoms were herb gatherers or passing merchants who had fallen off the mountain for various reasons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Falling off the mountain left them with multiple fractures, making it difficult to move. In the deep mountains where human footprints were rare, their cries for help went unanswered by heaven or earth; they could only drag their bodies and eat everything they could find.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eating insects, wild grass, tree bark, and even dirt, finally starving to death in despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After death, their remains, carrying resentment, were devoured by wild beasts. Beasts that had eaten the resentment of the starved would feel an incomparable hunger and hunt wantonly until they encountered another beast also affected by resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The beasts devoured each other, causing the resentments to continuously gather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When enough gathered together, the resentment would manifest as the monster before him. The monster would forage crazily in the mountains, attempting to eliminate the hunger that could never be satisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang shook his head; no wonder this guy had such a deep obsession with food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The inn was run by a husband and wife; having solved one, there was still another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he pushed open the door, preparing to go find the remaining one, he saw the door at the other end of the corridor shattered. A horse-headed monster darted out from the room, smashed through the window at the end of the corridor, and fled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The monster fled with such decisiveness that Wu Chang didn't even have time to fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, a middle-aged man wearing blue Daoist robes chased out from the room. The Daoist held a wooden dharma sword, scanned the surroundings, and turned to look at Wu Chang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This Young Master, have you seen a monster flee?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang pointed at the window, \"If you mean that horse-faced monster, it smashed through the window and escaped.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daoist sighed, \"This poor Daoist was careless and let that monster escape. The mountain roads are dangerous at night; I have no choice but to wait until dawn to search for it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang cupped his hands and said, \"I am Wu Chang, greetings, Daoist Priest. During dinner earlier, it was you who warned me that there was something strange about the food, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the waiter presented the buns, a nameless wind had blown, stirring Wu Chang's intuition and allowing him to see through the bun's illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without the warning, based on the resentment on the waiter alone, he wouldn't have eaten the shop's signature dish, but he still had a good impression of the Daoist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daoist returned the bow, \"Just now, I heard spiritual power surging and thunderous roars from Young Master Wu's room; the monster that attacked you must have been slain. Young Master clearly comes from a prestigious sect and possesses methods for subduing demons; it was this poor Daoist who was meddlesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not at all. Thanks to your reminder, I knew there was a fellow practitioner in the shop, so I didn't act rashly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Wu Chang spoke, he took out the Silver Dawn and said, \"I am from the Tang Sect, skilled in using hidden weapons. Beyond seven paces, they are as swift as thunder and fast as shooting stars; even heavy crossbows cannot compare. The drawback is that reloading is time-consuming; it takes five breaths to fire one shot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before experiencing the impact of modern firearms, for a long time, the longer the range of a weapon, the lower its attack frequency and the longer the time required for reloading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The range of the Silver Dawn was more than twice that of an ordinary bow and arrow; five breaths to reload one shot sounded very reasonable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daoist indeed did not suspect him, instead praising the ingenuity of Wu Chang's sect's techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he had taken the initiative to state his sect was so that when the Daoist tried to probe him in return, the Daoist would find it difficult to be evasive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting a few sentences about the Tang Sect with the Daoist, he seized the opportunity to ask in return, \"Before this journey, I had never seen a monster. If I had faced two monsters at once, I might not have fared well. I see you are familiar with monsters; may I ask which sect you are from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Daoist said, \"This poor Daoist is Chi Yuan, a wandering cultivator from the wilderness. In my early years, I was spotted by my wandering master; I heard that presiding over funerals in the city meant there would be meat to eat, so I joined the sect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't say Young Master Wu hasn't seen monsters; this poor Daoist studied for twenty years, and it wasn't until the heaven-shaking and earth-moving event five years ago that I realized there were true demons and monsters in the world, and that what I had learned was not just a trick to deceive people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Chi Yuan took an ancient book from his bosom and opened it to a page.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The two monsters that acted just now are called Mountain-Blocking Ghosts; their appearance and abilities match the records in the ancient scrolls. This poor Daoist guesses that after the heaven-shaking and earth-moving event, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was awakened, causing the demons and monsters of the ancient era to reappear, and allowing many spells and divine abilities to see the light of day once more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Chang nodded and took the opportunity to ask, \"I heard before that there is a Locust Valley Village in the mountains, and the Year-End Festival held in the village every year is exceptionally efficacious, capable of communicating with gods and driving away monsters. Has the Daoist ever heard of it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Wu Chang mention Locust Valley Village, Chi Yuan’s face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is Young Master Wu planning to go to Locust Valley Village? This poor Daoist happens to have a matter to resolve there; I wonder if Young Master Wu might be willing to assist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Title 'Perfectionist' activated, obtained hidden side quest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",2160,"2026-06-20T04:32:04.041Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","06656ecee54f0a50bcf2378a7dc8863a273944810f6e103b15016fa9134ff01c","the-dungeon-has-zero-tolerance-i-inherited-all-t-chapter-28","the-dungeon-has-zero-tolerance-i-inherited-all-t-chapter-26",392,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dungeon-has-zero-tolerance-i-inherited-all-t-cover.jpg"]
