Chapter 30 -30: First Kill of the 4th Tier!
*Bai Yi wasnât sure if it was an illusion, but she always felt like Linaâs movements seemed much quicker, or should it be said, more crisp and neat?*
*She even started to injure the Skeleton Giant using various clever methods.*
*It looked likeâ*
*A cat toying with a mouse after catching it?*
*However, the problem wasnât resolved yet, so Bai Yi didnât think much of it. She just considered that the Insect Swarm had partially distracted the Skeleton Giant, giving Lina the opportunity.*
Looking down, the monster was being intentionally or unintentionally led by Lina into a dense thicket, spinning around confusedly, too distracted to pay any attention to her.
âItâs time!â
The Insect Swarm faithfully carried out her will, withdrawing from the monsterâs side and gathering in mid-air on the other side of the giant.
This obvious movement immediately caught the giantâs attention. It roared angrily, swinging its fist and smashing down a troublesome Banyan Tree.
At the same time, the Insect Swarm suddenly transformed into a barrage, aiming straight for the Skeleton Giantâs outstretched right arm, targeting the joint connecting it to the body!
The swarm of bees simultaneously sprayed a stream of corrosive poison liquid at the same spot.
The thicket below launched a sudden attack, rapidly extending its vines and branches that deeply pierced the Skeleton Giantâs body.
Even though they were torn apart in just a fleeting moment, more branches immediately replaced them, tightly binding the giantâs other hand.
The Skeleton Giant had yet to react, *as if everything around it had suddenly turned against it. The situation deteriorated rapidly.*
Lina, stunned for a moment, quickly snapped back into action, leaping up with just a few agile steps, aiming to snatch Karisâs Bone Staff.
The fist that was about to smash the Insect Swarm had to switch targets, directing itself at the highly-jumping Lina.
But after this, there was nothing left to hinder the Insect Swarm.
With sharp limbs slicing through its body, the Insect Swarm carelessly splashed its dark green blood, heedless of losing its Life Value.
The dark green blood spilled onto the connecting area of the arm, replenishing the poison liquid that had just been consumed.
Under the concentrated attack from the swarm of bees, the connection of the giantâs arm had already been more than half corroded. The poison blood of the Insect Swarm became the final straw.
And as the arm detached from the Skeleton Giant, it seemed to lose the support of some kind of power, dissolving into scattered paleness.
The fist that was previously poised for a strike lost its connection, but with Lina already so close, the collective consciousness of many souls reacted swiftly.
It lifted its right foot, kicking out and launching Lina away once again.
*But even so, its fate was already sealed.*
Because Bai Yi had arrived.
A few beetles carried Bai Yi into a rapid descent from the sky, crashing onto the Skeleton Giantâs chest.
Having lost both arms and balancing on one leg, the Skeleton Giant was unsteady, easily toppled by Bai Yiâs weight, leading it to crash to the ground.
Faced with Bai Yi, now just inches away from the Bone Staff, the Skeleton Giant had no choice but to reform multiple bone hands from its skeletal structure.
They reached out from the chest, trying to grab Bai Yi.
But Bai Yi was faster.
Following the momentum of the giantâs fall, she fiercely swung the Bone Dagger in her hand.
Magical power stirred the crimson on the dagger, consolidating on the blade, transforming into a foreboding blood blade about a foot long.
It stabbed into the Bone Staff.
There was no earth-shattering explosion, no magnificent special effects.
The blood blade quietly annihilated everything it touched.
Upon contact with the Bone Staff, it disintegrated into countless strands of blood-red silk, unleashing its remaining power around, turning the area into a void.
Boomâ
Without support, the Skeleton Giant collapsed thunderously.
Fortunately, the beetle behind Bai Yi caught her in time, saving her from being crushed by the falling skeleton.
The soul flames left hanging in mid-air struggled for a few seconds before they seemed to be wiped away by an invisible force, disappearing without a trace.

[Nickname detected changed, would you like to use the new nickname in the announcement]
âHuh? Thereâs such a feature?â
*Bai Yi always felt this game system had strange obsessions lurking in peculiar corners.*
âIs this because I didnât set my nickname last time during the first kill announcement, using the name Bai Yi, but this time thereâs a conflict so thereâs this patch?â
*However, since she could avoid making the identity of Fan Mao known, Bai Yi didnât insist on consolidating both identities.*
âNo.â
[Game announcement: Congratulations to Player Bai Yi from Area 33 for completing the worldâs Fourth Rank first kill, rewards have been issued. Please other lords keep it up]
âOh no, I should have held back the announcement. Otherwise, just after getting the first kill and then going back to tell Jun Lin I took down the Undead Mage, wouldnât that be equivalent to exposing my identity?!â
*But after seeing the announcement, Bai Yi began to regret it.*
*However, since it was irreversible, Bai Yi could only think of a way to remedy the situation a bit.*
âForget it, forget it, Iâll just tell Jun Lin about taking down Karis a bit later.*Hmm, just wait until the last day to mention it to Jun Lin!*â
Bai Yi temporarily shifted her attention from the panel, commanding the beetle behind her to lower her back to the ground.
âPhew, the ground still feels more solid.â
Bai Yi lightly stomped her foot, re-acquainting herself with the wonderful feeling of the earth, then turned to look at Lina beside her.
Before Bai Yi could speak, Lina seemed to know what Bai Yi was about to ask and said first,
âThe task is complete, thanks for your cooperation, big sister.â
With Linaâs affirmation, Bai Yiâs panel displayed another notification.
[Task âPurification,â completed, Task Rating: S, you have obtained Skill Book â Spiritual Strong Thought (Gold)*1]
[Tip: Oh my, it seems the task was successful. Rest assured, your reward wonât be lacking, so Iâll be taking Lina away. The rest is up to you.]
Just after Bai Yi finished reading the panelâs tip, she suddenly felt like her memory blurred for a few seconds. Lina became transparent before her eyes, fading from her view.
Before she completely vanished, Bai Yi vaguely heard a whispered sentenceâ
âSee you next time.â
*How did she run away so fastâŠ*
*After a brief moment of daze, Bai Yi decided to set this matter aside for now.*
Looking back, the Zhan Yi trio had noticed the fallen Skeleton Giant and hurried over one by one.
âMaster, that, that just now wasâŠâ
Zhan Yi stammered, but it was Zhan Er who finished the question.
âWas that a God?â
âYou all could feel it? What happened?â Bai Yi asked curiously.
*Previously, her conversation with âLongevityâ was only on the panel, and the descent of power was silent, without any visible signs.*
*Technically, Zhan Yi and the others shouldnât have been able to detect it.*
âJust now, there was a voice that directly spoke in our minds, saying it was a reward for us.Then, thenâŠâ
âThen a glimmer of green light descended from the sky, healed our wounds, and even granted us a blessing!â
âExactly, Master, look, my strength has increased significantly!â
One by one, they explained to Bai Yi what transpired earlier.
Bai Yi then realized that the battle wounds the three had sustained earlier were now absent, making them look as freshly recruited from camp.
Hearing Zhan Erâs mention of increased strength, Bai Yi quickly opened the panel to check.
*This unexpected check indeed brought Bai Yi a pleasant surprise.*

Insect Armor: The blood and poison liquid of the Insect Clan possess strong corrosive properties, making it nearly impossible to combat effectively. Apart from some expensive materials, only the armor of the Insect Clan can effectively resist this corrosion, giving rise to the crafting of Insect Armor. Below are specific crafting stepsâŠ
If no special techniques are available, please refrain from handling insect corpses on your own, or proceed at your own risk.âââInsect Disaster Survival Guideâ by Jun Lin
