Many people were able to conceal themselves immediately, such as soldiers and cultivators with survival experience. However, there was one occupation that Darkmist Weave did not lack: assassins, and the strongest assassin organization was Mafioso Planet.
Mafioso Planet's status in Darkmist Weave and even the surrounding weaves was similar to the Relentless Slayers' status in Chaos Flowzone. They had nurtured many outstanding assassins.
This region was not too far from Mafioso Planet, and Lu Yin immediately thought of this planet. This batch of trial takers was most likely from Mafioso Planet.
Mafioso Planet was one of the powers that coveted Shenwu Continent, and it could be considered the strongest power. It was rumored that Mafioso Planet had an Enlighter realm assassin, and if Lu Yin's guess was correct, that assassin was most likely Topmist.
What a coincidence. Lu Yin's gaze turned cold, as Topmist had almost killed him. If this batch of trial takers really were from Mafioso Planet, then there was no need for him to leave. It was a good opportunity to have some fun before Wendy arrived.
As more and more spacecraft landed, trial takers appeared in the zombie-filled capital. As long as it was a trial, there would be missions. During Earth's trial, the most important mission had been to capture Qingyu. It had been an extremely difficult mission, and Lu Yin still remembered it clearly.
Regardless of the commotion outside, Lu Yin sealed off one of the palaces and then took out Elder Wu's cosmic ring. He used Elder Wu's blood to open it and release everything inside.
Lu Yin was stunned when he saw Elder Wu's items. It was not that there were too many of them, but that they were too strange. The old man's cosmic ring contained many strange bottles and jars, and some of them were filled with various colored liquids that were bubbling. It was a very strange sight.
"Seventh Bro, are these poisons?" the monkey asked.
Lu Yin's eyes filled with star energy as he looked at the jars and jars. He was immediately shocked. These jars and jars all had a large number of rune lines, and each bottle contained rune lines that were no less than a Hunter's. There were even a few bottles that were close to Karthika's.
Rune lines reflected an item's influence on the universe, and it was even more direct than a person's power level. In other words, these jars and jars had an influence that was close to an Enlighter's.
If these were all poisons, then some of them could definitely kill a Hunter or even injure an Enlighter.
Lu Yin carefully placed the strange jars and jars to the side, storing them away for now. He had no use for them, and he could not identify their effects. He would have to find someone to do so in the future.
After putting away the bottles and jars, Lu Yin counted the star essence, but he was disappointed to find that there were only a little over two thousand cubes of star essence.
Elder Wu was an Enlighter from the Outerverse, so it was expected that he would only have so few star essences. Aside from the star essences, Elder Wu also had several hundred thousand star crystals and quite a few Mavis Bank cards.
These crystal cards were of no use to him, as he had already used Elder Wu's blood to open his cosmic ring. Even if these crystal cards were given to him, he would not be able to withdraw any money from them.
Lu Yin gritted his teeth; the Mavis Bank was too profitable. Who knew how many people died every year, and most of the money in their crystal cards could not be withdrawn. In the end, the Mavis Bank benefited greatly. This sum was astronomical, and Lu Yin was certain that Elder Wu's Mavis bank cards had a frightening amount of money in them since they were all gold.
The Mavis Bank's crystal cards were categorized according to their colors. The lowest was green, followed by blue, black, gold, purple, and red.
Black and gold cards would only be issued after a certain amount of star crystals had been stored, while gold cards and above were measured in star essences. Elder Wu's cards were all gold, which meant that there were definitely quite a few crystals inside. It was a pity that they were all rotten accounts.
Aside from these items, the old man's cosmic ring contained many of Shamrock Enterprises' medicines, as well as some other unknown items. Lu Yin had killed three Enlighters, and he had obtained quite a few items that he did not understand. These items were all stored in a single cosmic ring, and he would have to find someone to appraise them in the future. Anything that could be collected by an Enlighter was definitely not ordinary.
Now, he was rather curious about the bottles and jars. The liquids and gases within them were enough to send a chill down his spine. After thinking about it, Lu Yin put them away, as they might be useful in the future.
He was now glad that he had not given Elder Wu a chance to attack him. Otherwise, he would not have been able to withstand a single bottle. These Enlighters all had life-saving methods, and they had to be killed instantly. Otherwise, even with the universal armor, Lu Yin would not feel safe.
He only had around 2,000 star essence on him at the moment, and he sighed. This was a huge loss. However, he had used so much star essence to upgrade his polarium essence, which could be sold for quite a bit. He still had 310 tons of polarium essence in his cosmic ring, which was quite a lot.
There was a loud noise, and many zombies appeared outside the palace that Lu Yin had sealed off, frantically smashing the door.
Lu Yin frowned. Although these zombies did not have any intelligence, they were very sensitive when it came to detecting other living creatures. They had actually sensed his presence.
Lu Yin opened the door to the palace, and his figure flashed as he disappeared from the encirclement of zombies.
Within the capital, there was a huge brothel where many zombies dressed in alluring clothing were baring their fangs and brandishing their claws as they wandered about.
There were no less than a hundred people gathered in the brothel's courtyard. Some of them were brothel patrons who had stayed the night before, while others were commoners who had hidden in the brothel. There were even some rangers.
A middle-aged man was squatting on the ground, trembling. He looked at the wandering zombies through the cracks in the walls, and he was very familiar with one of them. It was the woman who had spent the night with him. She had been a beautiful and charming woman, but now, she had turned into a bloodthirsty monster, which almost drove the middle-aged man crazy.
Bang
Bang
Bang
The huge boulder at the entrance to the courtyard made a loud noise. Many zombies had gathered outside, wanting to smash the boulder and rush into the courtyard.
Behind the boulder was a ranger dressed in grey robes and wielding a long spear. His expression was gloomy as he stubbornly resisted the boulder.
Crack!
The boulder suddenly shattered, and the ranger's expression changed. He gritted his teeth and stabbed his spear through the boulder, piercing through the heads of several zombies. The tip of the spear vibrated, shattering the heads of the zombies and causing the boulder to shatter as well.
"Everyone, I've tried my best, but all I can do is protect myself. Everyone, please take care of yourselves," the ranger shouted. His spear moved like a dragon as it shook off the countless zombies that had gathered around him. He then stabbed the tip of his spear into the ground and abruptly flicked it upwards, sending countless rocks flying in all directions and piercing through the heads of many zombies. This single attack had destroyed the brothel and opened up a path for the commoners who had hidden themselves.
The ranger helplessly looked at the commoners and sighed. He then jumped up and rushed out of the brothel. Just as he had said, all he could do was protect himself. There were simply too many monsters, and no matter how strong he was, he would eventually run out of energy.
It was already very good that he had been able to open up a path for these people. As one of the most famous powerhouses on this continent, this was the best he could do.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of the ranger's eyes as a black fog enveloped him. He then felt a tearing pain in his neck. Instinctively, the ranger swept his spear in front of him and swept away the fog. However, his neck was also torn apart, and blood spurted out as he slowly fell to the ground.
The people hiding in the brothel watched this scene in horror.
Next to the ranger's corpse, a pale-faced youth walked out and bent down to cut off the ranger's head. He then placed it in his cosmic ring and left without even looking at the people hiding in the brothel.
The same scene was happening in many other places on the continent. This was a trial mission, an assassination trial mission. The mission was to kill the cultivators of Planet Woodrock. Each person could only kill cultivators of the same level or stronger, and the final score would be determined by the number of heads killed.
This was a trial of blood.
Although Earth's trial had not been set up by the Great Yu Empire on purpose, the goal of the trial was not to kill, but to select the elites. Both the elite trialtakers and the elites of the natives, such as Zhang Dingtian and Bai Xue, had been chosen by the Great Yu Empire.
However, Planet Woodrock's trial was specifically set up to train assassins. The training would last for a long time, and with zombies, there was a possibility of evolution. Evolution meant that there would be an endless stream of cultivators, and this planet had been chosen as a long-term trial planet.
To the people of Planet Woodrock, this was very cruel. It was as if they were being raised in captivity for the trialtakers to slaughter. Of course, if the natives performed well, they might be taken off the planet as well.
Lu Yin put down the trialtaker's corpse in his hands. He had learned everything he wanted to know, and his expression was complicated. Was he sympathetic?
Perhaps, but this was the universe, and the laws of the Dark Forest did not care about whether it was cruel or not. Everyone was the hunter, and everyone was the prey.
Footsteps sounded behind him, and Lu Yin turned around to calmly look at the bespectacled girl walking over. She was also a trialtaker.
Lu Yin did not hide his tracks, as he already knew that this group of trialtakers had come from Mafioso Planet. Before Wendy arrived, he would kill as many as he could as a form of revenge against Topmist.
These trialtakers were assassins, and they were emotionless. He did not feel guilty for killing them.
However, this girl was completely different from the trialtakers.
"I-I'm sorry. Please don't kill me. I-I-I'm not a bad person." The bespectacled girl looked at Lu Yin in fear, and her petite body curled up into a ball like a frightened rabbit.
Lu Yin slowly walked over.
When she saw Lu Yin approach, the girl became even more terrified. She lowered her head and bit her lip.
"You're also from Mafioso Planet?"
The girl nodded, but then she suddenly thought of something and shook her head. She met Lu Yin's gaze and thought for a moment before nodding again. "We're both from Mafioso Planet."
"You were born on Mafioso Planet?" Lu Yin asked indifferently.
The girl nodded and whispered, "My parents and relatives were all born on Mafioso Planet. I had no choice."
"How many people have you killed?" Lu Yin asked.
The girl's eyes went wide, and she shook her head vigorously. "No, I haven't killed anyone. That's why they sent me to this planet. They told me to kill people, but I didn't want to."
Lu Yin nodded and turned to look into the distance. There were flames everywhere in the capital city, and this was just one city. The entire continent, and even Planet Woodrock, was currently immersed in despair. How many people had died on this day?
Lu Yin suddenly felt a chill at his waist, and he turned around. The bespectacled girl, who had been trembling in fear, was now staring at him in disbelief. She was trying to stab him with a green dagger, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not break through his skin.
"Melder. With your methods, even Melder geniuses wouldn't be able to avoid that. I'll ask you again: how many people have you killed?" Lu Yin asked indifferently as he slowly raised a hand to grab the bespectacled girl.
