"How... how did you come out alive?"
After observing him for a long time, Chen Xianchi finally asked again.
"Of course, I walked out."
Wei Kai patted the dust off his body and said indifferently, "Could it be that I was supposed to be carried out?"
"But I heard that there are countless terrifying monsters in the Black Night. Didn't you encounter them?" Chen Xianchi asked again.
"I did," Wei Kai said. "I killed them."
Chen Xianchi was stunned.
The surrounding crowd also stared blankly, looking at him in disbelief.
"Really? I don't believe it!"
The team member who first discovered Wei Kai shouted.
"There are still traces of fighting inside. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourselves."
Wei Kai rolled his eyes at the other party and said impatiently, "I'm a bit tired, so I'm heading back to the city first." With that, he passed by them and headed towards the city.
Chen Xianchi couldn't stop him, so he hesitated for a moment, then went to a man dressed in a Daoist robe.
He whispered, "Captain, should we go and take a look?"
"Of course!" The Daoist robe captain nodded, deep in thought. "How to survive the Black Night has always been a major research question for the officials. If his story is true, as long as we report it to the officials, we can get a good reward."
"However, this matter should not be publicized. If he truly has this ability, we might need his help in the future."
To be able to survive when the Black Night arrived was a unique case in over a decade.
What's more, the other party's level didn't seem to be high.
Low level, poor equipment, few skills... To be able to survive a Black Night under such conditions, this person is definitely not simple!
"Alright."
Chen Xianchi nodded and said, "Then I'll ask Xiao Wu to go with me."
"No!" The Daoist robe captain waved his hand and said, "I'll go with you!"
"Alright, Captain."
Chen Xianchi quickly agreed.
A few minutes later, Chen Xianchi and the captain quietly left the team. The other members leveled up on the spot or formed their own groups to hunt monsters.
After a few more minutes, the two followed the direction Wei Kai had come from and quickly arrived at the battlefield.
Seeing the ground covered with various sizes of broken stones and a nearly two-foot-thick layer of stone powder, both of them were dumbfounded.
"I remember this place used to be a mountain."
After a long time, the Daoist robe captain spoke.
"Yes, yes, yes." Chen Xianchi nodded repeatedly in agreement.
"But now..."
The captain pointed to the surrounding piles of rubble, then swallowed and said, "It has turned into this."
"This must be the kind of destruction only high-level monsters can cause, right?" Chen Xianchi asked tentatively.
"At least a Level 50 boss!" The captain answered with certainty.
Chen Xianchi was stunned. "Then wouldn't that mean..."
This was also part of the Wild Boar Forest. The strongest monster was the area boss, White Tiger, but it was only Level 25.
If it was a boss above Level 50... then it could only be a Black Night Monster.
Only Black Night Monsters could move freely in the Black Night and appear anywhere.
"He was telling the truth!"
The captain took a deep breath and said heavily, "This matter must be reported to the officials!"
With that, he took out his phone and made a call.
Ten minutes later, three high-level official combat personnel rushed over.
As soon as the three arrived at the scene, they immediately split up. Two went to check the surrounding situation.
A leader walked over and asked, "Is this the place you were talking about?"
"Yes." The captain quickly replied, "This is a battlefield. Only a boss above Level 50 could cause such extensive damage."
"It could also be a special skill," responded a high-level official who was surveying the area.
"Besides this battlefield, are there any other clues?" The leader continued to question the two.
"It's what he said himself."
Chen Xianchi hesitated before answering.
The leader frowned. "Repeat it."
"He said..."
Chen Xianchi quickly and simply repeated the events that had occurred earlier in detail.
However, the leader was not satisfied with what he heard and pressed for more details, even asking about Wei Kai's tone and expression at the time.
However... Chen Xianchi didn't remember it that clearly.
Facing the other party's questioning, he began to stammer and couldn't answer.
Just then, a shout suddenly came from the pile of rubble.
"Head, I found something!"
A high-level member responsible for surveying the scene shouted loudly.
The next moment, the leader and another high-level member immediately rushed over and then saw something in the pile of broken stones.
"This is... a drop item?" The team member who found it asked.
"black mud!"
The leader, being knowledgeable, immediately replied, "A Black Night Monster's exclusive drop item!"
"Doesn't that mean someone really killed a Black Night Monster here?" Another team member asked in surprise.
"That's right!"
The leader took a deep breath and said, "And not just one!"
"Why?"
"Because the drop rate for this thing is lower than that of a legendary item!" The leader said impatiently.
With that, he immediately ordered, "Keep looking, see if there's any more!"
"Yes." The two team members quickly obeyed.
"You two come over too!" The leader turned to look at the captain and Chen Xianchi, beckoning them. "Come and help search for clues. As long as there's a new discovery... I guarantee a reward!"
"Alright, alright, alright."
Chen Xianchi and the other immediately agreed, joining the search without delay.
At this moment, Wei Kai had already returned to the city.
After a night of intense battle, he was now extremely exhausted.
However, he still pushed through his fatigue and first went to the shop in West Township Market.
Shortly after he arrived, Tian Xiaoling also came to the shop. Seeing him there, she quickly walked over.
"A'Kai, you..."
"I'm here to restock."
Wei Kai smiled and handed her the backpack with the newly transferred items, explaining, "I've been leveling up by hunting wild wolves all day yesterday, so it's only items dropped by wild wolves."
"It's fine, the items in the shop are always in demand anyway," Tian Xiaoling said with a smile.
"That's true, as long as it's cheap enough."
Wei Kai replied, then thought of something. "By the way, do you know anything that can help with automatic item pickup?"
"Automatic pickup?"
Tian Xiaoling was stunned. She tilted her head and thought for a long time.
"I haven't heard of it."
"There isn't any?" Wei Kai asked unwillingly.
For him, it was certainly satisfying to have a monster drop a dozen items.
But picking up items was quite patience-consuming.
Especially when leveling up, every time he finished off a group of monsters, he had to stop specifically to pick things up, which was really a waste of time and energy.
It would be even better if there was equipment for automatic pickup.
"I really haven't heard of it," Tian Xiaoling shook her head, then added, "But if such a thing truly exists in this world, it would definitely be in that place."
"Where?"
"Duobao Pavilion."
