“Brother Adventurer!”

“What’s wrong, little friend!”

The little boy ran to Lin Shuang and smiled innocently. Lin Shuang had a good impression of this little boy.

“Brother adventurer, do you remember what I promised you? After the dog is born, I’ll give you a puppy. Look, it was just born today!”

As he spoke, the little boy put down the basket on his back and took out a puppy from it. The puppy was only the size of a palm, and it could not even open its eyes. Its fur was stuck tightly to its pink skin.

“This puppy was the first to be born. Look at how beautiful it is. Brother adventurer, take it. I believe you will treat it well!”

The boy handed the puppy to Lin Shuang, who accepted it with a blank expression. Didn’t they just mate in the morning? Why did they… Forget it, Lin Shuang looked at the sleeping puppy in his palm. This puppy was no different from an ordinary puppy, but he felt that there was something special about it that he couldn’t tell for a while.

“System Notification: You have obtained a hidden pet: Myriad Spiritual Beast.”

Myriad Spiritual Beast (Gold)

Level: 1

Health Points: 100

Attack: 0

Defense: 0

Status: Pup

Introduction: The supreme beast among thousands of spirit pets. It has a supreme bloodline. When it matures, it will be the Demon King of the myriad worlds. Any demon beast will have to submit to it.

Myriad Spiritual Beast? Demon King of the Myriad Worlds?

Lin Shuang looked at the puppy in his hand in a daze. This little fellow was called the Myriad Spiritual Beast. It would also be the Demon King of the Myriad World too? Why didn’t it look like it? Wasn’t it just an ordinary puppy? How could it be so capable?

However, since the system had already said so, Lin Shuang couldn’t help but believe it.

After putting the puppy into his backpack, Lin Shuang patted the little boy’s head and smiled. “Thank you, little friend. With him, I won’t feel lonely on the journey.”

The little boy blinked his big eyes and said seriously, “Brother adventurer, you’re going on a long journey soon, right? I can tell you a hidden path! That path was discovered by my father. If you follow that path, it will be much less dangerous!”

Another path? Lin Shuang’s heart skipped a beat. Was this another hidden reward? He hurriedly squatted down and carefully asked about the details of the path. The little boy was eloquent and told Lin Shuang clearly.

“Thank you! Little friend, you’ve helped me a lot!”

After memorizing the route, Lin Shuang waved at the boy and walked towards the main city.

Luhua Village, Dark Moon Forest.

It had been a while since Lin Shuang left Luhua village, and he had already reached the edge of the forest. After passing through the trees, he arrived at the foot of a small hill. In front of him was a large plain. Groups of bison gathered together and slowly chewed the weeds.

Wild Bison

Level: 8

Health: 1,000

Attack: 60

Defense: 100

Introduction: Wild Bison. They have a violent temperament and are extremely strong. They love to move in groups. Don’t try to provoke them. Otherwise, you might face the anger of hundreds or thousands of bison!

….

Although it was a level 8 monster, compared to the striped tiger he encountered in Jingyang Ridge, the Wild Bison’s attributes did not increase much.

The only thing he had to worry about was not provoking a herd of bison.

However, Lin Shuang did not intend to attack this herd of wild bison that were eating grass peacefully.

He remembered the hidden path that the little boy mentioned. After walking out of the Dark Moon Forest, he would see a large plain. If he walked along the edge of the large plain and walked to the right, he would see an abandoned fortress.

After reaching the abandoned fortress, follow the path south and he will reach the main city. Standing on the hill and looking into the distance, he could vaguely see a fortress at the edge of the plain and in the dense forest.

That should be the fortress that the little boy mentioned.

Lin Shuang bypassed the bison area and walked along the edge of the plain. Along the way, he did not encounter any decent monsters. Occasionally, there would be one or two unsightly goblins, wild wolves, and other monsters, but they were all dealt with by Lin Shuang.

Rustle, rustle.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the outline of a fortress finally appeared in front of Lin Shuang. It was a rather old fortress that had been abandoned for many years. There was no one inside the fortress.

The stone walls were already covered in moss. Some of the walls had already collapsed. The entire fortress was already very old and dilapidated.

“Creak…”

Lin Shuang gently pushed open the moldy wooden door of the fortress. The interior of the fortress was dimly lit, and a few rusty helmets were scattered on the ground. He carefully searched the fortress. There were usually treasures hidden in such abandoned buildings.

However, they were all one-time use. After the first batch of players explored, they would not respawn.

As the first player to come here, Lin Shuang naturally had to search carefully and not miss any corner. Something seemed to be flashing on a long table.

Lin Shuang noticed it and walked straight over to check. By relying on the light, he realized that what was glowing was a dagger. He picked it up and took a look. Although the dagger was covered in dust, it was not like the other weapons that were scattered on the ground, where it was severely decayed by time and was rusty.

The dagger looked sharp!

Empire Assassin’s Dagger

Profession: Assassin

Grade: Purple

Attack: 70

Agility: 10

Additional effect: Increases the user’s attack speed by 20%.

Set Attribute: Empire Assassin Set

1 piece: Ignore Defense: 50

Two pieces: Increase HP by 200

Four pieces: Increases Attack by 15%

It was top-grade!

Lin Shuang looked at the dagger in his hand, unable to believe his eyes.

Who would have thought that after searching around with the intention of picking up trash, he would suddenly pick up a Purple-level weapon? Moreover, it was a set, which showed how precious this weapon was.

He put away the dagger. Although he could not use it, he could sell it for a lot of money. I wonder what class Fatty Tang has chosen, Lin Shuang thought. I still have a few pieces of equipment in my bag.

After searching the fortress for a long time, other than the dagger, the rest of the items in the fortress were worthless scrap metal.

After leaving the fortress, Lin Shuang quickly found the path that the little boy had mentioned. It meandered into the depths of the dense forest.

“If I follow this path, I should be able to reach the main city!” Lin Shuang thought to himself.

In Glory, the Huaxia Region was divided into four servers. They were: Huadong District, Beishen District, Xiyu District, and Jiangnan District.

The server he was in was Jiangnan District. There were a total of three secondary cities in Jiangnan District. Juxiang City, Tianshu City, and Lingfan City.

He didn’t know which main city Luhua village belonged to. If possible, Lin Shuang still wanted to go to the main city he had stayed in his previous life: the Lingfan City. However, it did not matter even if he could not go to Lingfan City.

This was because he remembered that in his previous life, the Lingfan City was the main city with the most players in the Jiangnan area.

All the major guilds chose to settle in the Lingfan City. Therefore, the competition in Lingfan City was especially intense.
