Lin Bei followed the guidance of the shining particles, going deep into the village.
Along the way, all the decaying aura was completely dispelled by the Dawn Bonfire Lin Bei held in his arms.
The rooms that had previously shown anomalies fell into complete silence as Lin Bei passed by, with no sound whatsoever.
Seeing this, Lin Bei looked at the Dawn Bonfire in his arms with increasing satisfaction.
With this item, it would be much more convenient for him to deal with the Disqualified Ones in the future.
To him, those Disqualified Ones were like walking experience packs; once killed, he could gain a lot of experience and a special item called 'lost soul' that could increase Combat Power.
If he was lucky, he could also confiscate their inheritance from when they were alive, becoming even richer.
These Disqualified Ones were all highly sought-after.
The only costly part was that the Dawn Bonfire required Fuel of at least excellent quality to function properly.
Moreover, one barrel of excellent quality Fuel could only keep the Dawn Bonfire burning for about an hour. Compared to the shadow tank, it was an absolute Fuel guzzler.
However, its effect was also extraordinary.
In addition to dispelling darkness, it could also grant the 'Inspiration' status to nearby Survivors, increasing their Combat Power by 10%.
For Lin Bei himself, that was a whopping 2500 Combat Power bonus, and it could last for a full hour!
In comparison, the consumption of one barrel of Perfect quality Fuel was truly nothing.
Furthermore, Lin Bei had a kun bag, which allowed him to gradually Refine materials placed inside to the highest Perfect quality using its 'Refine' function.
Therefore, he could completely afford the Dawn Bonfire.
After advancing less than a hundred meters, the decaying aura in front of Lin Bei suddenly became denser.
Lin Bei quickly stepped forward, using the Dawn Bonfire to dispel the decaying aura while looking into the distance.
In the distance, a huge deep pit appeared.
At a rough glance, the deep pit's diameter exceeded fifty meters, shaped like a bowl's mouth.
At the bottom of the deep pit was continuously churning black-red viscous liquid. The previously nauseating decaying stench emanated from the bottom of the deep pit.
The shining particles in the sky descended, falling into the bottom of the deep pit, leading to deeper areas.
Lin Bei frowned upon seeing this.
"No way, this quest isn't asking me to dive into those disgusting viscous liquids, is it?"
"Damn it, not to mention I can't swim, even if I could, it's too damn stinky in there, isn't it? If I dive in headfirst, I'll probably just die on the spot!"
Lin Bei suddenly got cold feet.
To be honest, while the hidden quest's rewards were tempting, if the cost was potentially his life, he wouldn't risk it no matter what.
Therefore, Lin Bei merely glanced at the deep pit before turning to leave.
However, the moment he turned around, an anomaly occurred.
The Dawn Bonfire Lin Bei held in his arms seemed to sense his displeasure, as its flames surged and began to burn fiercely.
"Damn it, that's a bit hot."
Lin Bei felt the burning sensation from his chest, couldn't help but loosen his grip, and took half a step back.
To be honest, it was the first time he had felt such heat since putting on his excellent quality Adaptive Protective Suit.
He stared intently at the dense purple flames rising from the Dawn Bonfire. Its fiery glow spread and directly plunged into the huge deep pit before him.
The next second, the previously viscous, blood-red, foul-smelling liquid immediately emitted dense black gas and began to gradually dissipate.
However... the flames within the Dawn Bonfire only lasted for a moment before showing signs of weakening.
"What's going on?"
Lin Bei's expression suddenly changed upon seeing this.
"Damn it, the Fuel must be running out!"
But soon, enlightenment struck him, and he quickly took out a barrel of Perfect quality Fuel and poured it onto the flickering Dawn Bonfire.
Boom—!
As the Perfect quality Fuel was poured, the previously erratic purple flames immediately shot up into the sky, transforming into a huge purple pillar of fire, burning fiercely.
Vaguely, Lin Bei even saw wisps of orange energy light permeating the edges of the purple flames.
"This is... the special effect light emitted by Perfect quality items!"
Lin Bei was startled.
However, before he could think further, the huge pillar of fire that had risen into the sky transformed into a purple flame dragon, with dragon horns condensed from orange flames on its head, and plunged directly into the huge deep pit below!
Boom—!!!
A massive explosion reverberated throughout the entire village. The ground suddenly cracked and shook incessantly.
In front of Lin Bei, a huge mushroom cloud formed by black mist slowly rose.
The next second, purple firelight pierced through the black mist, and the dragon's shadow reappeared. The orange dragon horns on its head shattered, turning into countless starlight that fell into the mushroom cloud formed by the black mist.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—
The black mist was rapidly evaporated by the orange starlight, which had condensed after the dragon horns shattered, turning into wisps of white smoke that dissipated into the air.
At the same time, a deafening roar of anger suddenly erupted from the unknown space at the bottom of the deep pit.
The next moment, the bottom of the dried-up deep pit suddenly exploded, and a huge altar, previously hidden deep within the underground space, abruptly appeared before Lin Bei.
At this moment, hundreds of Disqualified Ones had gathered on the huge altar, their grievances soaring, their blood-red eyes fixed on Lin Bei's direction.
"Damn it, there are so many Disqualified Ones? It's almost giving me trypophobia!"
"But... I like it!"
Lin Bei narrowed his eyes, scanned the relatively open area around him, and with a grand wave of his hand, summoned the Tank Army!
The area at the village entrance was too narrow before, preventing him from fully utilizing his abilities.
But now, the area around the deep pit was open enough for Lin Bei to deploy dozens of shadow tanks.
"Explosive Destruction, activate!"
At the same time, Lin Bei immediately activated Explosive Destruction, adding a destructive explosion effect to all his attacks. Then, he manipulated dozens of shadow tanks to adjust their muzzles and launch a saturation bombardment on the Disqualified Ones army on the huge altar at the bottom of the deep pit!
Rumble—!!!
Immediately, artillery fire rained down.
Lin Bei tightly covered his ears, hiding over a hundred meters away.
There was nothing he could do; the existence of Super Intuition made his six senses far superior to ordinary people, and with the Ammunition Expert + Explosive Destruction buffs, the firepower of these shadow tanks was insanely abnormal.
Dozens of tanks created the terrifying scene of several hundred tanks firing simultaneously.

At the same time, a series of system prompts sounded in Lin Bei's ears.
"Something... seems off."
"The Hundredfold Critical Hit... actually split!"
