TOP SECRET: Adventures in the Dark Continent

Chapter 18: A New Village

The slightly lit sky showed the world of the Dark Continent. The tense and heavy climate never changed and continued from day one.

The zombies continue their usual hikes looking for fresh flesh.

Slash!!!! Slash!!!! Slash!!!!

Looking towards the tall grass, we can see an ordinary-looking young man fighting a zombie vulture.

The young man was rolling from side to side while cutting the zombie vulture with the steel sword.

The zombie vulture was always attacking once with its claws or sharp beak before flying again. The young man could only roll to dodge the attack.

Whenever the young man found a chance, he cut with the sword.

Slash!!!! Slash!!!! Slash!!!!

This scene lasted for a few minutes until the vulture was killed by the young man. He was Liu Yang.

Four months have passed since the day he arrived in the Dark Continent.

For ten days two killing zombies to level the title. Liu Yang was almost crazy because he did nothing during the day and only stayed awake at night. He had reversed his schedule.

The moment the ten thousand zombies were killed. The title has been updated.

Title: Veteran Zombie Slayer - Title given to those who killed ten thousand zombies. To update the title to Master Zombie Slayer, you need to kill one hundred thousand zombies.

Effect 1: Zombies that are five meters away from you, they will be ten percent weaker.

Effect 2: Recovers all energy used to kill a zombie.

Effect 3: There is a possibility to receive one more item when defeating a zombie. 5% chance.

Effect 4: Reduces experience received by killing zombies by one hundred percent.

When Liu Yang read the description of the effects, he was very happy. But when he read about killing a hundred thousand zombies. He freaked out.

Ten days hidden in the bush was already quite tedious and boring. After updating the title, he needed to stay at least another hundred days. This was insane to him.

Despite complaining, Liu Yang accepted the challenge. He spent more than three months in hiding fighting zombies during the night. His sleep hour has become completely unregulated during those months.

After about ninety days of endless killing, Liu Yang finally managed to complete the last title update.

Title: Zombie Master Slayer - Title given to those who killed one hundred thousand zombies.

Effect 1: Zombies that are ten meters away from you, they will be twenty percent weaker.

Effect 2: Recovers all the energy expended when killing a zombie.

Effect 3: There is a possibility to receive one more item when defeating a zombie. 20% chance.

Effect 4: You will heal your wounds by defeating a zombie.

The effects of the last level of the title were more powerful than the previous one.

Liu Yang thought it was worth all the effort he made to get the title. He thought that in the other initial villages it would also be that way.

His thinking is right, each village had a type of title that players can achieve. But it is very rare for a player to kill a thousand creatures of the same type before leaving the village's starting area. Liu Yang is one of the few examples of this because he had the power of immunity to zombie poison.

After updating the title and resting for several days, Liu Yang fought the zombie vulture.

The zombie vulture is a rank 3 zombie, it is one of four in the starting area. It's like a boss of the territory. Each area had a rank 3 zombie that gives good rewards.

The rank 3 zombies were about five times stronger than a rank 2 zombie. The rank 2 zombie is ten times stronger than the rank 1 zombie. It was already possible to see how strong the three zombies are.

Liu Yang only managed to defeat the rank 3 zombie because he could make them weaker and resist the zombie poison. These two factors made him win.

"Let's see what you dropped"

The vulture's body disappeared a few seconds later, what remained was a shiny ring, a claw-shaped necklace, and a piece of paper.

"A ring, necklace, and a piece of paper?" Liu Yang looked curiously.

Upon touching the ring, its effects were felt. Liu Yang's body grew stronger and his mind softer.

Name: Liu Yang

Level: 9

Strength: 4 + 3

Agility: 3

Vitality: 9 + 3

Intelligence: 3 + 2

Skill

Immunity to All Poison (Passive) (Level 3) - The user is immune to all types of poison, including zombie poison.

"Two points in vitality and intelligence !!!" Liu Yang shouted. The ring was very good. The four points of statistics is a lot.

"What does this necklace do?" Touching the necklace, Liu Yang felt something different.

"The necklace gave the owner the passive ability: Infect"

Infect - When wounding a target, the ability has a 1% chance to poison the injured target with the zombie poison.

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Liu Yang was startled by this ability. This is a very terrible thing. This skill is a very terrible thing.

(Someone with this type of skill can be hunted or killed. This skill is something that no one should have) Liu Yang thought. Despite this, he wore the necklace.

"What is that piece of paper?" Liu Yang saw that the paper had several strange letters written on it. He imagined it would be the language of the Dark Continent.

"Congratulations on finding the village's construction paper. Whoever gets one of these papers can build a village in one of the three remaining regions of the initial area. Tear the paper so you can choose a location to create a new start village"

"Jackpot !!!!!!!!!!!" Liu Yang jumped for joy. He understood what that meant.

The paper was immediately torn.

Liu Yang was not doing this to compete with James Hunt's start village, he just didn't think it was fair for people to be forced into a cage. They also had the right to level and become stronger. Liu Yang will give this opportunity to newcomers who choose their village as a starting point.

(If I got such an item. Does that mean that the first people to reach the Dark Continent defeated a rank 3 zombie and built the first village in the south? If that's true, in the initial region there should still be two more zombies from rank 3, if no one else has defeated the zombie.)

Liu Yang's thinking is correct. Each of the four ranks 3 zombies in the starting area will drop a piece of paper that will allow the construction of a village in the starting area.

As nobody liked to fight zombies, because they were the most feared opponents. Just a scratch and the person is already doomed.

The other villages had more people because although it was dangerous, the locations were easier to level. One can live without an arm, but no one can live by being turned into a zombie. This is the difference between Village E and the other villages.

So when someone chose one of the other villages as their starting location, that person had other options to choose from. Unlike Village E, which only had one option.

The instant Liu Yang tore the parchment and chose the north side.

A message was heard for all the inhabitants of Village E.

"Congratulations to everyone in Village E. One inhabitant found a scroll from the village. A new one will be built in the northern region. Enjoy the new village "

Liu Yang chose the northern region because it is the place where he and Misalova Lida had the first time. Besides, there were already many fruits to eat there.

Many people in the southern village were celebrating, but none of them dared speak or celebrate it out loud. For there were those who were not enjoying this situation.

One such example is James Hunt. As a new village has emerged, it will have great competition. For his village can be emptied and no one else wants to live there because of his tyranny.

"Go to your village and adjust to your wishes"

Liu Yang received a message from the system. It looked like he was in a kind of city-building game.

"In the village, there should already be a large number of people waiting to see who owns the new village. None of them imagines that that person could be me. " Liu Yang just laughed about it.

"I need to disguise myself to avoid being seen." Liu Yang went back to his hiding place in the tall grass to get some things to disguise himself.

"The others may not recognize me, but James Hunt will remember me. I am the only skinny young man who escaped that day. " That thought crossed his mind.

Liu Yang put the sword on his back and started walking north. He went in the other direction instead of the conventional way across the plains.

Just as he escaped a few months ago from the back of the forest, Liu Yang would do the same again.

A crowd was in front of the village waiting, while no one entered yet. For they were waiting for the owner to appear.

"Who do you think owns this village?"

"This is difficult to say. Few people have fled the original village, but we don't know which ones are still alive. "

"Does anyone have a hunch?"

Many curious conversations were taking place in a large group of people. Everyone was curious to know who owned the new village in the region.

Many of them had been in the place for a long time, but they only lived in the initial village.

James Hunt and his subordinates were at the front, each of them with solemn and angry looks. Competition appeared for them.

Suddenly, a strong light shone and covered all the broken houses. Seconds later, the light disappeared and a completely new village appeared.

The broken houses were rebuilt and cleaned. The whole place looked completely new.

A board appeared at the entrance: Welcome
