[Flesh and Blood Self-Destruction: Upon death, your body can split apart and launch in all directions at extremely high speeds]

[Physical Regeneration++: Constitution +2. When your body is injured or lost, it can quickly regenerate and slowly restore health; regeneration is unaffected by acid and fire; when health drops to 0, it can still regenerate if conditions permit.]

[Activate the body: After separation of one's own body tissue, it can maintain cell activity for a longer period of time, and can reattach severed limbs and legs, allowing them to regrow completely.]

Of the three monster abilities, the second and third became his considerations.

This [Physical Regeneration] level 3 max level ability seems almost overpowered. It not only adds new ability effects but also increases the constitution attribute, making it incredibly powerful when combined with [Undying Despite Being Dead].

The third ability is also quite good, but compared to the second one, its priority is not very high.

[Successfully selected [Physical Regeneration++]]

Claire said with some dissatisfaction, "Tch, if I had known there wouldn't be any reward, I wouldn't have bothered dealing with these fleshy monsters."

"Broken Arrow" came over at this moment and offered words of comfort.

"It's alright. The knights saw your performance in the battle just now, and they might even give you some extra rewards when they apply to the guild."

"Is that so? Then I'd better make sure I get along well with this knight." With that, the female wanderer trotted over to Karina and started chatting casually.

"Broken Arrow": "Captain, let's go to the next magic circle location."

Linsel nodded. In the darkness, the nearest cult summoning circle emitting red light was still several hundred meters away from their current location.

The other two or three places were similar. The positions of these magic arrays seemed to be irregular and scattered. If you were to stand on high ground and look down, they would look like a few scattered chess pieces on a chessboard. In short, you would have to run quite a distance to find them.

Lindsay rejoined the guards with the other adventurers, and then his Darkvision spotted a creature moving swiftly in the darkness towards them from the west.

It was still quite far away and not very clear, but the outline looked like a person.

Linssey gripped the pulley crossbow firmly, keeping a close eye on the rapidly moving man.

"Brinan, go tell the lady knight that someone is coming this way from the west."

"Captain, where is anyone?" "Broken Arrow" looked westward, then scanned the surroundings, somewhat confused.

"Just go when I tell you to."

"it is good."

"Broken Arrow" did as instructed. He ran from the back of the guards to the front and reported to Karina, who was joking with Claire and was somewhat relaxed. Karina immediately resumed her serious expression.

"Did the 'Wolf Slayer' say that?"

"Yes."

"Don't rush, it's very likely a messenger. Wait for his signal."

A short while later, Lindsay saw that the man had lit a torch relatively close to the group, and in the firelight, he was indeed a guard wearing cotton armor.

The guard was in a panic. He quickly ran to Karina's side, bent down, took a few deep breaths, and began to report.

Lindsay was curious, so he leaned closer and heard the report.

"A large number of cultists have appeared at the East Gate, and the adventurers there are struggling to hold them off. We need reinforcements!"

Karina seemed to have anticipated this; she ordered the guards to halt temporarily, rearrange their formation, and announced this at the same time.

"Now we need to split into two groups. One group will go and destroy the remaining summoning arrays, while the other group will come with me to the east gate to provide support."

"Phantom, you're quite adept at dealing with those summoned chunks of flesh, so please take a dozen or so guards and go destroy the magic circle."

"Me leading the team?" Claire asked incredulously.

"Didn't you just tell me that you wanted more reward for putting in more effort? Now your chance has come."

"I also have holy water to help you. As long as you can successfully complete the sabotage mission, I will definitely apply to the guild for an incentive reward for you."

As she spoke, Karina handed Claire two small bottles of holy water and explained how to use them and what precautions to take.

The female wanderer glanced at Lin Sai, looking somewhat hesitant.

"Claire, go ahead, we'll meet at the east gate in a bit."

"Yes, Sir Knight, I will ensure the mission is completed barring any unforeseen circumstances!"

……

The wind and the east gate of the city, at the same moment.

Unlike the situation in the south, the refugees who had surrounded the east gate had all disappeared, and now they were replaced by several hundred cultists and two or three summoning arrays nearby.

At this moment, more than twenty adventurers and guards had rushed out of the city and were engaged in a fierce firefight with these cultists who outnumbered them several times over.

Arrows and throwing knives flew everywhere, and people on both sides screamed and fell down from time to time. Sneak attacks and backstabs occurred frequently, and the battle scene was extremely chaotic. Moreover, due to the dim light, there were even cases of friendly fire and infighting.

Although the cultists suffered more casualties and fought individually, their average strength was inferior to that of the well-trained guards and the well-coordinated adventurers. However, they gradually gained the upper hand by relying on their numerical advantage.

"Iron Spear" had been fighting for a long time. With a thrust, he knocked down another fanatical cultist, which slightly intimidated several other enemies nearby.

As the only Silver-ranked adventurer at the East Gate, he was appointed as the temporary team leader.

Originally intending to lead everyone to take the initiative and destroy those summoning arrays, they were stopped by a large group of cultists who suddenly appeared in the darkness.

The guards also deeply hated these cultists hiding among the refugees, and everyone fought to the death, with no one retreating.

"Iron Spear" shouted at a young guard beside him.

"When will reinforcements arrive? There are too many of these cult members!"

"Several brothers have already gone to ask for reinforcements, let's hold on!"

Upon seeing this, an elite cultist wearing leather armor threw several throwing knives at "Iron Spear".

"Iron Spear" nimbly dodged to the side, and at the same time, dust suddenly billowed up from his feet, and his speed became extremely fast, rushing to the front of this elite cultist in an instant.

He thrust wildly with his spear, and before the elite cultist could react, several transparent holes appeared in his body. Then, Bai collapsed, spitting blood.

The young guard exclaimed, "Senior 'Iron Spear,' this is the thirteenth enemy! You're so fast, I didn't even see you!"

"He used two combat techniques in a row, how could he not be powerful?"

Sweat dripped down "Iron Spear's" head, but he still gripped the pointed spear tightly in his hand.

Even with his exceptional skills, after the previous exertion, he had exhausted most of his strength and was quite tired.

Meanwhile, the cultists on the other side fearlessly surrounded them, and with the dozen or so flesh golems slowly following behind, the scene began to instill fear in the other bronze and iron-level adventurers.

The enemy's offensive was fierce, and those who could escape had to retreat and regroup, and were now forced to the front of the city gate.

Looking at the few guards surrounded by the enemy ahead, who were powerless to turn the tide, "Iron Spear" sighed helplessly, "It seems we can only retreat into the city for now. Those magic arrays are indeed powerless to break..."

"Look, senior! There's a light in the distance!"
