Inside the Shen Yun Forest.

"This is--"

A large, muscular man.

He crouched down, his gaze fixed intently on the mottled dark red marks on the withered grass and trees before him.

His fingers touched it lightly, as if he could feel the ancient power contained in the blood that had cooled and congealed.

"Dragon Blood!"

The big man's voice was deep and powerful, as if it were squeezed out from the depths of his chest.

"Really? Big brother?"

A hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the woman standing to the side. She had delicate features, but her brows revealed a heroic spirit.

She walked quickly to the big man's side, looked down, and saw that the dark red bloodstains shimmered eerily in the sunlight.

The woman took out a small bottle from her bosom, pointed the bottle at the bloodstain, and muttered something under her breath.

As her incantation ended, a magic circle suddenly appeared, emitting a faint light.

The dragon blood on the ground, which was not yet completely dry, seemed to be summoned, turning into streaks of blood that slowly flowed into the bottle.

"We've struck it rich!"

The woman looked at the blood in the bottle, her cheeks flushing with excitement.

"Big brother, we've really struck it rich this time!"

However, just as she turned around to share her joy with the big man, a cold glint suddenly appeared.

The woman only had time to let out a short scream before she was cut in half at the waist by the sharp sword light.

Bright red blood gushed out, staining the earth crimson. As the woman lay dying, her eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the burly man wielding a blood-stained broadsword.

"Why...kill me?"

Her lips moved slightly, her voice weak and trembling.

A faint purple light flickered in the burly man's eyes as he stared fervently at the bloodstone that had surfaced on the woman's corpse.

It was a blood-red gemstone, emitting an eerie light.

"As expected, as expected, killing someone will cause the red stone to appear!"

The big man muttered excitedly to himself.

"And dragon blood! Haha, I'm rich now!"

He let out a long howl, his eyes filled with bloodlust.

He could almost see himself becoming a Gold-level adventurer, enjoying endless wealth and being surrounded by countless women.

And all of this started with the dragon blood and bloodstone right before our eyes.

Just as he crouched down to reach for the bloodstone and dragon blood, a gunshot suddenly pierced the sky.

The big man only had time to let out a scream before his head exploded as if struck by something.

His brains splattered out, and his body fell heavily to the ground.

His death was gruesome. Behind him was a bullet hole that pierced through him.

Deep inside the bullet hole, the faint trace of a high-precision sniper bullet could be seen.

. . .

A kilometer away, the dense forest resembled a green ocean, swaying gently in the breeze.

Deep in this forest, a towering ancient tree rises from the ground, piercing the clouds.

Atop the tree canopy, a lithe young woman lay lurking silently.

She was like a cheetah lurking in the shadows, gripping a sniper rifle that gleamed with metallic luster. The cold touch made her even calmer and more focused.

Through the magnifying glass, she gazed at the corpse of the burly man in the distance.

After killing the big man, she did not immediately lower her guard, but continued to observe the surrounding situation.

She breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that there were no abnormalities.

"Report to the captain, target eliminated, no complications."

She spoke softly into the earpiece. As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came through the earpiece.

The voice was serious and cold, as if carrying an unquestionable authority:

"Yes, continue to be on guard."

"Hehe, don't worry, Linglong is here."

Upon hearing the captain's order, she chuckled, a smug look on her face.

But just then, she suddenly heard a sarcastic, mocking voice:

"I wonder who caused our mission to fail a few months ago."

"Cheetah, are you looking for death?"

"I surrender, I surrender!"

"Alright, Linglong, let's go now. Please keep watch around."

"This forest is no ordinary place."

"Hehe, no problem."

Upon hearing the order, Linglong chuckled and observed her surroundings through the magnifying glass.

Two fully armed men were seen slowly approaching the location of the Dragon Blood.

And that was her captain and the cheetah.

Originally mercenaries, they came without hesitation after hearing that there was dragon blood to be harvested in this forest.

Then, to their surprise, they discovered...

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

There is a strange stone here, a red stone, which can grant them magic.

That's right, as people from the Eastern Continent, they were born without magic.

Instead, they possessed a physique far superior to that of the people of the Western Continent and extraordinary senses.

But that doesn't mean they don't want to have magic.

They were overjoyed to discover that these red stones could be absorbed to gain magical power, and that this absorption could be repeated.

What they didn't expect was that there was dragon blood here that could improve their physical fitness!

What a treasure trove!

Linglong's lips curled into a playful smile.

She moved her sniper rifle and aimed the scope at the adventurers who were getting close to the dragon's blood.

Although they had no idea what lay ahead.

It's also uncertain whether they will become enemies with the captain.

but!

This is a forest!

Stepping into this forest means being prepared to give your life.

The weak eat the strong, the fittest survive.

Since it's uncertain whether they are enemies.

Then kill them!

boom!

A deafening gunshot echoed through the forest.

While the adventurers looked around, searching for traces of dragons.

The exquisite bullet, like the scythe of death, accurately severed its life.

The adventurer's head exploded instantly, splattering bright red blood that stained the surrounding leaves, and a red stone slowly emerged.

Linglong chuckled and turned her gaze to the other panicked adventurers.

Show no mercy, and shoot them one by one!

After experiencing that strange goblin, Linglong became much more cautious.

Moreover, she encountered many people and races afterward, so she naturally stopped underestimating the people here.

As the trigger was pulled repeatedly, pieces of redstone emerged.

Linglong noted down the location so that the captain and the others could retrieve it later.

They are not like the native inhabitants of this place; magic is of great use to them.

Especially after discovering that those magical powers could enhance physical abilities, they became even more eager for them.

"That's right!"

Suddenly, Linglong shoved her eyes in front of the magnifying glass, staring wide-eyed at the blood-red figure hundreds of meters away with an incredulous expression.

"What the hell is that?"

At this moment, the crimson figure was rushing towards the captain and his group at a rapid pace.

Without the slightest hesitation, Linglong pulled the trigger, firing two sniper bullets in quick succession. Although they did not hit vital organs directly, they struck the joints of the blood-red figure's two arms respectively.

boom!

boom!

Two loud bangs, two arms pierced by bullets, the red mist around the figure's arms was blown away, revealing a bloody skeleton.

However, the red mist surrounding the figure quickly filled in, and the flesh and blood regenerated at an incredible speed.

"Damn!" (End of Chapter)
