Li Xia stopped in his tracks. He slowly turned around, his eyes shining. So it was possible to sign an agreement after all?

Seeing Li Xia stop, Arthur was overjoyed and shouted, "Really, I'm not kidding you. You've already come this far, wouldn't it be a waste of time to turn back?"

The sooner you arrive in Changhu Town, the more time you'll have to prepare! We'll sign an agreement; a green uniform guarantees you'll pass!

“Arthur…” came a whisper from his companion, almost a groan.

"What's wrong? Can't you see he's starting to show interest? Don't bother me!"

"You...you look...look at the panel. Robin Hood tried to detect more than ten times before succeeding, and his mana was almost depleted, and he only managed to get two skills..."

Arthur glanced at the panel his companion had sent, but once he looked at it, he couldn't look away, his eyes bulging with surprise.

I couldn't help but gasp:

"Holy crap?! Mastery-level skills? Two technique-based skills? And both are cultivation skills? The attributes are so high?"

The three of them couldn't help but shudder. Where the hell did this monster come from?

Could it be a monster who cleared the trial at S+ level?

Just as Li Xia was about to speak, his expression suddenly froze. Night Silence appeared in his hand as he warily looked around.

In the dark, dense forest, many faint lights flickered, and pairs of red eyes emerged from every corner of the forest.

Li Xia slowly inhaled the stuffy air into her lungs, quickly getting through the dazed state.

He already knew what kind of creature those eyes were.

They are dire wolves, and orcs—half-orcs.

Chapter Thirty-Four: Contribution Points (Please continue reading)

Orcs, also known as half-orcs, are the main soldiers of the dark forces. They reproduce extremely quickly and are numerous.

But in reality, they are not quite the orcs that Li Xia knew.

Because they are not a combination of humans and beastmen, but rather a degenerate form of humans.

To be more precise, they are more like goblins. Most of them are short in stature and like to live in burrows. Even a farmer can easily take down one or two of them with a pitchfork.

However, if they ride on a dire wolf, their combat power will increase by one level, making them a force to be reckoned with.

"Drip drip"

Scott's combat glasses emitted a short alarm sound and immediately displayed the specific quantity on the glasses.

There are 22 biological reactions, 10 of which are superimposed, which is roughly equivalent to 5 dire wolf orcs and 12 ordinary orcs.

In terms of combat strength, the 12 ordinary Orks were not particularly strong, mostly between 3 and 4, which was only because they had shields and weapons.

However, the combat strength of those five dire wolves suddenly increased to between 8 and 13, posing a slight threat.

"Humans?" A distorted voice, as if muttering with saliva in its mouth, echoed in the darkness, even though it had been given the Western language common to Lord of the Rings when it entered the world.

It took Li Xia a lot of effort to figure out what the strange voice was saying.

"Not a dwarf..."

The Oc gradually emerged from the darkness, and by the dim light from the riverbank, Li Xia could make out their appearance.

First of all, it was dirty, extremely filthy, with skin in various shades of gray, and covered with wart-like bumps.

They wore almost no clothes, or simply wrapped rags and rough animal hides around their waists, and had short, coarse hair on their heads, or were bald.

Its sharp teeth protrude outwards like buck teeth, its small eyes gleam, and its limbs appear underdeveloped, making it quite bizarre.

They held crudely crafted weapons such as iron axes, clubs, and spears.

One of the Orks was clearly much better equipped, and it rode a gray wolf the size of a calf.

The moment the Oc emerged from the shadows, these three jumped up and ran like startled rabbits. It would be crazy not to run away from such a good opportunity!

The leader, Oak, first fixed his vicious little eyes on the three people who had already run far away on the other side of the river, then glanced at Li Xia, and waved his hand as if shooing away a moth in a dense forest:

"Kill him, then continue chasing the dwarves!"

The battle broke out abruptly, with neither side showing any desire to communicate.

An Orc raised its weapon, just opening its mouth to roar like its companions, when the silent tip of Night's spear slicing through the air.

The sharp blade chipped away at his teeth, piercing flesh like butter, and the roar was choked in his throat, turning into a whimper.

Li Xia drew his spear, and with a powerful thrust of his arms, the spear, accompanied by a whooshing sound, shoved back an Oc who was lunging down from a tree trunk.

The blade slashed from the top of his head down to his groin, spraying out a spurt of foul-smelling blood.

But many of the Orks were already red-eyed from the smell of their companions' blood, and several Dire wolves were drooling and panting heavily.

Unlike the stinging moths and spiders before, these orks were trained, though perhaps they weren't able to master overly sophisticated tactics.

However, within the squad alone, they displayed excellent teamwork and coordination, and he hadn't forgotten... there were three spectators on the other side of the river.

Li Xia's gaze was somewhat solemn. He held his gun in both hands and his eyes darted around. Although he had just killed two Orks, the most important wolf riders were unharmed.

If they continue fighting like this, he'll likely get injured. If he's injured, those three might target him, and a counterattack would only result in more serious injuries...

Perhaps it was because the two Oc had finally breathed their last that the notification from the Temple of Light suddenly popped up.

[I have currently earned 4 contribution points. My ranking will be displayed once the contribution ranking is enabled. Rewards will be calculated based on contribution points after the main quest is completed.]

[Current contribution bonus: 4% increase in chest drop rate]

Contribution points? Ranking? Chest drop rate bonus?

There seemed to be a golden glint in his eyes.

But then again, if you're afraid of getting hurt and don't dare to fight, what's the difference between you and a salted fish?

However, those three people... According to Li Xia's monocle, the three people had already run about three hundred meters. Any further and they would be beyond Scott's detection range.

That's quite savvy, but it's still not foolproof...

Li Xia dodged the horizontal axe swing, then bent down, gripping the ground tightly with both feet like screws, stomping hard with his front foot and pushing off with his back foot.

His whole body was like a spring, his shoulder slamming hard into Oak's chest, using the most famous "top elbow" technique in Bajiquan.

The Orc that was thrown into the air was as if it had been hit in the chest by a giant hammer, with a clear dent visible. It spat out a lot of blood and even knocked another Orc to the ground.

Gap!

"Hiss—" A huge amount of air was inhaled into the lungs, and the muscles in the legs suddenly bulged.

A faint shockwave rose from beneath his feet, causing the thick layer of fallen leaves to explode. Li Xia, like lightning, darted back the way he came.

When he broke through the encirclement, Li Xia forcibly rolled over, his feet carving two furrows in the ground. The long spear in his hand had been replaced with the TAC-50 he had just acquired.

At such close range, there's hardly any need to aim.

"Oh!"

A muffled gunshot rang out, and a burst of blood suddenly erupted from the chest of an Oc, who collapsed limply to the ground. Li Xia remained unmoved and swiftly pulled back the bolt of his gun.

The bright orange cartridge case had just been launched into the air when there was another bang, followed immediately by a second cartridge case.

Gunshots rang out five times in a very short period of time, and five Orks were either wounded or killed, including one Dire Wolf Ork whose arm was broken.

Li Xia finally understood why so many people were so enthusiastic about firearms—because they were so useful!

The only downside is that bullets are extremely expensive due to the temple's control.

If you have enough points, using the Void Magazine might even allow you to wipe out all the Orks.

Unfortunately, the points awarded by the Transcendence Hall cannot be used in the Hall of Light, at least not now.

Seeing his men suffer heavy casualties, the leader, Oak, almost went mad. He pulled on the reins of the dire wolf, waved his arms, and made strange syllables.

The remaining Orks immediately scattered, some taking off their bows and arrows and climbing up tree trunks or rocks.

Some removed their small shields and held them in front of them, slowly approaching, while several dire wolves leaped into the shadows.

It was only at this point that the differences between the military and gangs began to gradually become apparent.

Li Xia slowly exhaled, and the long spear Ye Ji appeared in his hand.

The real battle is only just beginning!

Come on, contribute some points!

Chapter Thirty-Five: Mission Completed (Please continue reading)

"Whoosh!"

Following Scott's prompting, Li Xia dodged an arrow by tilting his head, then turned around and forcefully swung his gun with both hands, the tip of the gun humming as it traced an arc to the lower left.

Having deflected the iron blade that Oak was slashing at him, Li Xia used the rebound force to turn around, retract his spear, and suddenly thrust forward.

The incredibly resilient shaft trembled violently under the special force applied, causing the spearhead to tremble as well.

The swaying spearhead tangled with the javelin that Orc, the war wolf, thrust forward. A crisp collision was heard, and Orc's powerful thrust was deflected.

Unconsciously veering off course, the forward thrusting motion continued due to inertia.

The door was wide open, and at that moment the swaying spear suddenly stopped, and with a light thrust, it sent up a spray of blood.

Oak clutched his throat and fell backward, but the dire wolf opened its mouth and continued to pounce. Li Xia let go of his hand, leaned back, and inhaled.

The Sun Breathing technique, which he knew all too well, was activated. With a muffled 'thud,' the dire wolf in the air let out a miserable howl and was sent flying backward.

Li Xia rushed forward two steps, gripped the spear, leaped high into the air, and slammed it down forcefully.

The spear drew a graceful arc in mid-air before crashing down on the head of another dire wolf rider.

"bang"

Its head was like a rotten watermelon, with blood gushing from all its orifices. The giant wolf also let out a miserable howl, its waist clearly bent backward, and it lay on the ground struggling desperately with its front paws, but its hindquarters were covered in excrement and urine, obviously a spinal cord fracture causing paraplegia.

He slowly walked forward, drew his spear, and took the opportunity to calm his rapid breathing. He then raised his right foot and stomped down hard, instantly silencing the giant wolf's howl.

The leader of the Ok had eyes that were practically bloodshot. It gave Li Xia a deep look, its gaze filled with undisguised hatred and fear.

"go!"

The remaining Orks turned and charged into the darkness almost without looking back. In just a moment, the once noisy battlefield fell into a deathly silence.

They just ran away?

That's true. It's not an online game. If you can't win, you'll naturally run away. Retreating only after suffering more than 50% casualties is already considered to have a strong fighting spirit.

Li Xia breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn't been injured in the fight, but he had exhausted a lot of his energy and was really tired.

Li Xia took out a chocolate from the emergency kit and put it in her mouth, then eagerly pulled out the prompt from the hall.

[Killed an Ork Legion scout soldier in the Misty Mountains, contribution points +2]

[Killed an Ork Legion scout soldier in the Misty Mountains, contribution points +2]

...............

[Slayed a Warg Scout of the Ork Legion in the Misty Mountains, Contribution Points +4]

There were a total of 5 dire wolf riders and 12 ordinary orcs. Li Xia killed half of them. If all five shots had hit vital points, he could have taken at least two more dire wolf riders.

I still need to practice my marksmanship!

However, the rewards for killing two dire wolf scouts and six ordinary scouts are equally generous.

[I have currently earned 24 contribution points. My ranking will be displayed once the contribution ranking is enabled. Rewards will be calculated based on contribution points after the main quest is completed.]

[Current contribution bonus: 24% increase in chest drop rate]

I was pleased with my treasure chest drop rate, but unfortunately it was a multiplicative bonus, not an additive one.

Even so, a 24% drop rate bonus is still quite significant.
