Chapter 45 (2/2)

“New attributes ‘Attack’ and ‘Intelligence’ added.

“New occupations ‘Warrior’, ‘Archer’, ‘Qigong Master’, and ‘Sorcerer’ added.”

The long lost God’s voice had spoken again. At this moment, the Old Demonic Ant Warlock who was trying to attack Wei Huo disappeared. Wei Huo was also sent back to the entrance of the Demonic Anthill. A black tunnel that looked like a portal appeared at the entrance, rotating slowly. It looked extremely weird.

Wei Huo walked up to it and immediately, words appeared on it. It read ‘Demonic Ant Cave’.

Below it was a description that read. ‘Demonic Ant Cave. Players level five and above are allowed to enter the Demonic Ant Cave. Difficulty Level Selection: Easy, Normal, Hard, Hell.’

‘Players level five and above can enter? Could this be…a newbie instance?’

Wei Huo looked at his own attributes and realized that he did not have any Level or EXP displayed, but his attack bar was at 367 points.

Wei Huo arrived at the entrance of the instance and immediately, a faint light emitted from the instance’s tunnel entrance. An option ‘Do You Want To Enter?’ appeared.

‘I can enter without any Level?’

Wei Huo chose ‘Yes’, and it activated. A bright light flashed at the tunnel entrance and before he knew it, Wei Huo was in the Demonic Anthill.

Wei huo understood immediately. It was another BUG! The numerical Leveling System and EXP had not been created yet. Hence, he could enter any instances without needing to follow their Level limits!

Wei Huo went in. The Demonic Anthill was similar to the previous one, but the burnt black Demonic Ants’ corpses disappeared and were replaced by living Demonic Ants.

However, they were ants without intelligence. Those Demonic Ants were similar to normal game mobs. They rushed towards Wei Huo as soon as they laid eyes on him. Their Attack bar was at 13.

Wei Huo’s Attack bar on the other hand was at 367. The difference between their Attack bars was tremendous. Wei Huo kept killing as he advanced further in. However, he did not obtain any EXP since the EXP System was not created yet.

With 367 points in his Attack bar, Wei Huo defeated the Demonic Ants in a seckill[2]. Soon after, Wei Huo had arrived at the Demonic Ant’s Palace. He then saw the gigantic yet rigid Empress.

‘Demonic Ant Empress. Rank: Rare. Attack Bar: 45.’

She was stronger than the other Demonic Ants. However, she was not even close to Wei Huo’s battle strength!

Wei Huo already attacked before the Empress even took action. He finished her off with one punch. Wei Huo then looked at his Magical Stones reserve in the Item Mall.

Indeed, there was nothing!

He clearly killed a Rare creature, but he had not obtained any Magical Stone. That was because the Empress did not have a soul!

Wei Huo cleared the instance and was sent back to the anthill entrance. However, he did not obtain any EXP or item rewards because those elements were not created yet. Hence, clearing instances currently had no meaning to Wei Huo.

However, it was still a rewarding trip. Although the Old Demonic Ant Warlock disappeared, Wei Huo still had the three eggs he obtained previously.

‘Empress Candidate Insect Eggs. State: Dormant. Note: Pet System has not been unlocked. Egg Hatching is currently unavailable.’
