A zone within a zone!

I was overjoyed. My first thought was that I had entered a boss lair.

Queen Wasp Nest. This dark and eerie place must be where the Queen Wasp lived.

I looked up again, and just like before I saw only a small dot of light s.h.i.+ning down from above. This pit was incredibly deep, and it was concealed by the forest. I guess I should thank the Domination Clan for attacking me, because there was no way I would have found this place otherwise.

I was regenerating health automatically when I heard a ring.

Ding~!

System Notice: Congratulations, your skill ”Regeneration of the Undead” has reached Rank 3!

Nice. The skill automatically took effect whenever I wasn't at max health, so it reached Rank 3 faster than I thought. Now, the skill regenerated 0.3% HP every second. Since my total HP was 750, I was regenerating 2.25 HP every second. Now I feel like a proper undead!

Clearly, super regeneration was one of my cla.s.s's natural advantages.

I tightened my grip around my blade after regenerating to full health and

walked deeper into the Queen Wasp Nest!

The walls were completely covered in holes, and I could even see wriggling pupae inside of them. It was a terrifying sight. When these pupae reached full maturity, they would transform into Wasps and hunt noobs at Venomous Wasp Forest. Who would've thought that I would accidentally fall into their nest?

Buzz buzz buzz...

Suddenly, I heard a familiar sound in front of me. Here they come!

Two patrolling wasps flew toward me at the same time. I was surprised to find that they were different from the wasps I had fought outside. Their heads were round and covered in venomous thorns, giving them the appearance of a fierce tiger. In fact, they were called Tiger Head Hornets, an incredible Level 37 wasp.

I gripped my blade and charged them without hesitation! The first attack belongs to me!

I swung my sword once and missed beautifully. Then, I followed up with a devastating Rank 3 Slayer Slas.h.!.+

1489!

Seriously? That attack didn't even delete half of the Tiger Head Hornet's HP! This Level 37 monster is just too powerful!

Swoosh swoos.h.!.+

The two Tiger Head Hornets screeched in unison before attacking me, sending a wave of burning sensation across my chest. I lost a huge amount of HP, and I was poisoned by the attack!

189!

197!

This is bad. I need to end this as quickly as possible!

b.l.o.o.d.y light wrapped around the Weeping Fire Blade. Undead Energy III gave me 15% damage bonus to living targets , and the b.l.o.o.d.y Ring of Protection on my finger gave me another 3% boost. I struck the enemy three times, each stroke of my sword dealing more than 400 damage!

447!

459!

451!

The Tiger Head Hornet had around 3000 HP, and I was able to drop it to low health with a series of devastating blows. However, it was able to launch one last attack and chip away 200 of my HP!

Glug!

Left with no choice, I drank a Rank 2 Health Potion and regained 400 HP immediately. A normal health potion was completely insufficient in this situation. Lin Yixin and Clear Perfume potion-making skills were really starting to display their usefulness, and I resolved myself to maintain an excellent business relations.h.i.+p with them.

Swoos.h.!.+

I slashed one more time and killed my first Tiger Head Hornet. Now that there was only one enemy left, my life was no longer in danger. With my Rank 2 Health Potions, normal health potions from NPC vendors and Regeneration of the Undead, I could probably kill the last Tiger Head Hornet without dropping below 75% health.

Crack!

The second Tiger Head Hornet let out a bloodcurdling screech before dying under my blade. It even dropped a 91 Quality Big Magic Stone. Nice, that's another 18 silver in my wallet!

I checked my experience bar: Level 32, 97% full. Those 2 kills actually boosted my experience by a whooping 3%! It was an incredible feeling, and it looked like I could level up once or twice in this Queen Wasp Nest. Of course, I would rather fight a boss and kill it. After all, the experience and items a boss gave were nothing like that of a common mob.

Happy, I continued onward and quickly encountered the second group of Tiger Head Hornets. Just like before they came at me as a pair, and I was able to beat them at the cost of one Rank 2 Health Potion. Moreover, I got yet another 88 Quality Big Magic Stone or 17.6 silver, just had to multiply the quality by two. Currently, 1 gold was worth 100 RMB, so this Magic Stone was worth 17.6 RMB. I could buy a dish of Fish-flavored Shredded Pork with this money!

I trekked through the dark and silent pa.s.sages of the Queen Wasp Nest for over an hour, killing countless Tiger Head Hornets in the process. I was now at Level 33 and 25% experience, and the placements on the Heavenly Ranking had changed yet again. After Dominating Heaven Blade was killed by me, Lin Yixin had successfully reclaimed her throne—
