In the evening, when the sunset gradually fell below the horizon, the leveling people returned one after another, with the joy of returning home with a load and the pain and sorrow of losing their companions.

Haoren's supper was roast rabbit meat. This was exchanged for the Pig King Dagger and Chu Nan. The ingredients were the LV5 mutant rabbits that could be seen everywhere nearby. This mutant creature had pitifully weak combat power and reproduced very quickly. In Chu Nan's words, it was simply the best cooking ingredient.

The most important thing is that although there is no attribute bonus, rabbit meat is always more acceptable than rat meat. Moreover, roasted rabbit meat can be dried into jerky meat and stored in a space package. It is a must-have food for leveling out.

After eating, Haoren left the hotel. Hundreds of people were already surrounded on the street waiting for his arrival. Today's highlight was the acquisition of crystal stone.

Haoren's appearance made the crowd a little turbulent, and they all tried their best to push forward. After all, he said that he would only buy 500 crystals. Seeing the scene a little chaotic, Haoren cleared his throat and shouted: "So let's start! Please line up, I refuse to buy if I'm in line!"

The crowd gradually became orderly, lined up one by one, almost extending half of the street.

"I just hit two crystal stones. Alas, I almost lost my life today. Can I give you more money?"

"That's because I'm not strong enough! Next one" Haoren didn't raise his head.

"I have 5 crystal stones, but I hope to be able to trade 350 Doomsday coins. The teams of our brothers will not be enough, but they will not be able to get any money if they don't have more."

"Get out!" Haoren raised his eyelids slightly.

"I have old men and young men, so why don't I give me more!"

"I'm not holding a charity meeting!"

"I tell you, Labor and Capital is the boss of the town. If you know the truth, please give me more money. I will protect you here in the future."

"Self Wang, there is someone here who claims to be the boss. Don't you know you know him?" Haoren turned his head and greeted the silent Sheriff Wang.

...

The acquisition process was not as smooth as expected. Some were joked, some pretended to be pitiful, and some were unreasonable. Just like what Changqing said yesterday, some people really regarded Haoren as a sucker.

Fortunately, no one dared to use force directly, not because he was afraid of Haoren, but because he was afraid of Sheriff Wang standing not far away and staring at him...

The entire transaction lasted for nearly an hour. When the last person traded the crystal stone, Haoren was worried after counting it, and the total total was only 460 yuan.

"No, I can't even get 500 yuan?" Haoren was speechless. The people around him who had already traded were also speechless. Although there were many people queuing up, many of them only traded one or two yuan.

"In fact, today's mutant monster seems to have become a little strange. Everyone also wants to help you collect more crystal stones, but life is more important, so I'm sorry." A girl explained in a low voice.

"I will explain this to you later. Let's go tonight!" Sheriff Wang said in a deep voice. His prestige made everyone else disperse quickly.

Then Sheriff Wang turned around and stared at Haoren quietly, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, which made Haoren feel uncomfortable.

To be fair, if it were in the previous world, people like Sheriff Wang would be admirable, but Haoren didn't know how to evaluate him in this kind of society.

"I have 40 crystal stones here, I can hand them over to you together, it's not a good deal."

Haoren raised his eyebrows. As a hero profession, it would be easier to level up, but he did not agree immediately, and laughed: "I dare not ask for your crystal stone for nothing. Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Police Chief Wang was silent for a while and slowly spoke: "I still hope you can help me clear the green dungeon fire ant nest for 10 people. This dungeon blocks the town and Zixia Mountain, which is quite troublesome."

Haoren also expressed his embarrassment with silence.

"Please!" Sheriff Wang begged with a little pleading in his tone: "I know you are worried about the instability of the team, but I promise that I will definitely arrange the most effective personnel, and that the equipment will be divided equally by you, and I will not take any of it."

Haoren was a little strange. He didn't have this attitude a few days ago.

"In the past two days, I always feel that the mutant monsters nearby are a bit abnormal." Sheriff Wang carefully said, but didn't know where to start, and smiled bitterly: "Maybe I was worried too much, but I am a hero profession and are more sensitive to the combat power of mutant monsters. But I saw with my own eyes that some mutant monsters have been upgraded from LV6 to LV10 in just one day!"

Haoren couldn't help but be surprised: "Even if you have a lot of food, it's impossible to evolve so quickly!"

"Not only that, today I went out to investigate alone. Guess what I found?"

Haoren doesn’t like to keep insincere: “Tell me just now!”

Police Chief Wang's face changed a little, a little horrified and serious: "I found that the mutant monsters nearby were gathering towards a location, and the number was increasing, just like..."

Sheriff Wang seemed to be unable to find a suitable word for a while, and after holding it in for a long time, a sentence burst out: "It's like forming an army!"

Haoren became suspicious: "Army? Army!"

"That's right!" Sheriff Wang nodded fiercely: "I told others about this, but no one believed it. And when I went to inspect it later, the gathering of mutant monsters had disappeared. But I am sure I was definitely not dazzled before. There were nearly a thousand of those gathering of mutant monsters!"

Haoren couldn't help but be startled and fell into deep thought. Although Sheriff Wang was very old-fashioned, he was definitely not an alarmist person, and he would not use such things to deceive himself.

"These nearly a thousand mutant monsters are very strange. They all have a pair of red eyes, and their levels are generally above LV10. They are very fierce and vigilant. I was discovered by them from afar. If I hadn't had the exclusive skills of heroes, I wouldn't have escaped."

Some people in the town have seen this strange mutant creature with blood-like eyes, but they all appear alone. In this case where nearly a thousand people appear together, Sheriff Wang should be the first to see, or the first to see alive.

"Do you think I'm talking nonsense?" Sheriff Wang sighed.

"No!" Haoren shook his head and gradually became solemn: "If all you see is true, then what do you think is the target of this mutant legion?"

"The goal? Of course it is to hunt us humans." Sheriff Wang pondered for a moment, and was shocked: "You mean their goal is this town!"

Haoren sighed: "I hope this is not true, but it is obvious that there are only two places nearby, Linchuan University and this small town, as for those factories, they have long been empty. And more importantly, there are altars in this small town!"

"Altar? So what?"

Haoren pondered: "From the perspective of others, if I want to completely destroy human beings, then I will first destroy the root cause of human beings to survive. What is the reason why we can still live now?"

"Professional Altar." Sheriff Wang replied with a wry smile.

"That's right! It's the altar that provides ordinary professions and hero professions, which gives us the power to fight against mutated creatures. The altar provides various secondary professions, which solves various life problems such as basic food and clothing. When one day the altar no longer exists, how long can we live?"

It's a cruel problem. Although the town looks very stable and even though people die every day, most people can barely survive, with food and trading grounds to change equipment.

But all this stability is based on the vocational altar. Losing this human killer means that it will not be able to learn new skills or transfer to secondary professions. In the face of increasingly stronger mutated creatures, can humans survive?

Sheriff Wang was silent for a long time and said with difficulty: "I thought I was thinking bad enough, and it seemed that things were worse than I thought!"

"No wonder the crystal stones that everyone has hit today are so rare, because the mutant monsters are gradually gathering, and they can't find many monsters at all!"

Haoren looked at Sheriff Wang again and asked, "You can't wait to knock down the copy of the Fire Ant Nest, because you want to leave a way out for everyone."

"It's just a last resort!" Sheriff Wang showed a hint of helplessness on his face: "After all, the town is our home where we have lived for many years, and we will not give up easily."

Haoren thought: "Have you ever thought about it? After all, those monsters are just mutants of the earth's creatures. It is impossible for them to have a high IQ. Even hunting humans is just an instinct of living things, and it is even more impossible to gather together purposefully."

"You still want to say I'm dazzled?"

Haoren waved his hand: "I believe you completely. What I want to say is that behind this matter is the dark creatures from another world pushing it!"

"A creature from another world? Revenge of Spider Queen!" Sheriff Wang was not an idiot, and suddenly realized that since the world plot was announced, nothing major happened. I am afraid that most people have put the revenge of Spider Queen behind.

Haoren's face was also quite serious. So far, there were only two dark creatures he had come into contact with, the poisonous spider and the skeleton soldier. The former is the ultimate boss of the 15-person green-level dungeon, so the strength is naturally needless to say; the latter is an ordinary skeleton soldier who is chasing, but his combat power is close to him.

"Okay, I agree to your request, I will help you destroy the 10 green-level dungeon fire ant nest!"

"It's better to choose a day than to meet the day, so let's go tomorrow!" Sheriff Wang immediately made the decision.

"Tomorrow won't work, you'll have to be the day after tomorrow at the earliest!" Haoren shook his head.

"I've already contacted other people, so I can also get earlier..."

Haoren firmly refused. His plan for the past two days had already been formulated. He strengthened his equipment tonight and went to clean up the cursed swordsman tomorrow.

This plan will not be easily changed just because of the words of Sheriff Wang. If someone kills the blue-level boss first, his losses will be huge.

Police Chief Wang was not willing to give up, but Haoren's attitude was very firm. Both of them were heroic professions, so Police Chief Wang was even more unlikely to do things like forcefulness.

"Since that's the case, I'll take people over tomorrow and clean up as many monsters as possible. Maybe I can kill the boss smoothly, and I'll take action!" Sheriff Wang was a little angry.

"This is great, but I want to remind you not to underestimate this dungeon. Large dungeons pay great attention to team cooperation. If you don't pay attention, you will be at risk of team destruction." Haoren patiently advised.

"Thank you for your kindness, I have to go to bed!" Sheriff Wang looked really angry, and snorted slightly and left first.

Haoren smiled bitterly and went back to the hotel.
