After killing the Demon Knight Kulun, Song Jian’s experience points skyrocketed massively. Coupled with the hundred-thousand battle experience gained from clearing the dungeon, Song Jian, whose experience bar had just levelled up to nineteen, leapfrogged to the position above half, reaching 19.78%. This was equivalent to the experience that Song Jian could gain from five or six days and nights of non-stop monster hunting.

Besides gaining abundant experience, the loot dropped by the Demon Knight Kulun also amounted to eighteen pieces. Among them, twelve pieces were weaponry and equipment. The remaining included a blueprint for weaponry forging, a tailor design diagram, a magic inscription drawing, two tier-2 gems, and a piece of precious forging material, the Abyssal Demon Crystal.

After the death of Demon Knight Kulun, the Book of the Abyss was naturally collected by Priest Cecilia to eliminate the Abyss Demon that was sealed. Song Jian began to sort through the loot.

Among the equipment dropped, three pieces had a silver-quality property.

The Abyssal Demon Helmet, a leather hat, was silver, equipment level 20, providing +38 Defence, +29 Resistance, +10% Total Defence, and +10 Fire Resistance. Special effect 1: Dark Vision (Passive), allowing the user to see clearly within a thirty-meter radius in dim or no-light conditions. Special effect 2: Abyss Demon Breath (Passive), the user gains the protection of Abyss Demon Breath, reducing all damage by 20%, and the probability of being critically hit is reduced by 30%. Equipment requirement: 18 Level; Can it be taken out of the game: No.

This silver-quality hat was much better than the Scorpion Beast Helmet that Song Jian was currently wearing. Ever since the Scorpion Beast Helmet was damaged by an enemy, the chance of triggering the Desert Scorpion Soul seemed to have decreased a lot. Sometimes, even after several battles in succession, it wouldn’t trigger even once.

The most important feature of the Scorpion Beast Helmet was the triggering of the Desert Scorpion Soul to assist in battle. Without this feature, the value of this helmet was at most equivalent to a green-quality helmet of the same level.

Now that he had a better silver-quality hat, naturally, he would replace it immediately.

The remaining two silver-quality items were also level twenty equipment, but one was a pair of gloves for summoners and the other was a chest armour for hunters.

Besides these three silver-quality items, the rest were all level twenty blue and green equipment. Song Jian glanced at them, and as there was none that he could use, he tossed all of them into his inventory.

The remaining blueprint was for a halberd. Furthermore, this halberd had a 10% chance of being forged into a golden-quality weapon, a 70% chance of being a silver-quality weapon, and a 20% chance of being a blue-quality weapon.

“This harvest, it’s really not small!” Looking at the loot in his inventory, Song Jian’s face revealed an excited smile.

Priest Cecilia, having obtained the Book of Abyss, directly opened up a Teleportation Gate. Song Jian placed the Black Dragon whelp into Pet Space for rest and treatment, and entered the Teleportation Gate with his new followers, directly returning to Doomsday City. The remaining two Dawn Warriors followed Cecilia back to the shop where Annie of the Silver Moon Commerce was managing things.

At this moment, several troll warriors who had been guarding the entrance of the Blood Demon Cave watched as the light screen at the entrance of the Blood Demon Cave gradually faded, causing their faces to turn drastically.

Then, they heard the regional announcement. Duo Sa couldn’t help but raise his head and let out a mournful roar, his eyes glowing red as he stared at the entrance of the mystery door, tightly clutching his weapon.

“Duo Sa, he…” A troll warrior stepped forward, wanting to appease Duo Sa.

“Shut up, today I must kill him, kill this God’s Chosen One called Song Jian and take back the Book of the Abyss. Roar!” Duo Sa seemed to fall into madness, his eyes emitting a blood-red light, and turned his fiendish face to roar at his companion.

For a moment, all the troll warriors were scared by Duo Sa’s murderous eyes and stood silently behind him.

Just then, five or six teams appeared in the distance. Some were NPC teams, some were player teams. Upon hearing the system announcement, they prepared to challenge the Blood Demon Cave.

The Blood Demon Cave has now become a general instance, which can accommodate all teams to challenge at the same time. Those who are the first to clear the difficult level of Blood Demon Cave can also make a regional announcement in the City of Hymns.

Moreover, the loot dropped by the first team to clear the instance is often more rewarding.

“Duo Sa, we better leave here, otherwise if those people see us, it will definitely start a war!” A troll warrior, looking at the vague figure in the distance, nervously said.

Whether in the eyes of the God’s Chosen Ones or other NPCs in the City of Hymns, the troll clan was seen as the enemy. Once encountered in the wild, it often provoked a war.

Currently, the opposing side had seven or eight teams, but Duo Sa and his group only had five people, they were no match for the team from the City of Hymns.

Duo Sa’s anger caused his whole body to shake slightly, his heavy breathing sounded like thunder, his chest heaving dramatically for a moment before he finally gritted his teeth and growled, “Go!”

In the end, Duo Sa didn’t see Song Jian come out from the entrance of the instance, which foiled their ambush plan. Normally, after clearing an instance, you would be automatically teleported to the instance entrance. But who knew that this time the sudden appearance of Priest Cecilia would open a gate to Doomsday City for Song Jian.

This was agreed upon between Song Jian and the others before he accepted the quest. Once the mission was completed, he would be teleported back to Doomsday City, not allowing him to stay outside.

Soon, Duo Sa’s group disappeared into the dense forest, and the Blood Demon Cave greeted wave after wave of challengers.

Song Jian was directly transported back to Manor Castle. Song Jian, who had just experienced an intense battle and intended to relax, suddenly found that the atmosphere throughout Manor Castle was very tense.

Calling over Butler George, Song Jian asked with a frown, “What exactly happened in the manor? Why does everyone seem so flustered?”

George wiped the sweat from his forehead and said softly, “Not far from the manor, a military camp suddenly popped up. It seems that there are already quite a few soldiers training in there. My lord, they are less than three hundred meters away from us. If you decide to expand your territory further, we’ll be sure to butt heads with that military camp!”

“Military camp?” Song Jian’s eyebrows furrowed. While his personal strength was already amongst the top players, territorial expansion warfare truly required an army that could conquer fortresses. Relying on an individual’s power alone, it would be challenging to take over a manor with a complete defense system.

“Let’s go and check it out.” Song Jian thought for a moment and then headed for the castle’s exit. The Dawn Warrior Aze, like a guard, closely followed Song Jian.
