Chapter 4: World Invasion (Entry Probability 38.571%, You Are Already an Old Hunter, Capable of Achieving Excellent or Above Invasion Indicators No Matter How Extreme the Environment)
[The surrounding space twisted and distorted, the familiar sensation of being pulled and dragged by an immense force enveloped his entire body. Su Xiao, or Kukulin Bai Ye, had long grown accustomed to this feeling. This was the process of being forcibly sent into a world by Reincarnation Paradise, a mandatory invasion mission.]
[The blurry scene before his eyes gradually cleared, and the pungent smell of blood mixed with the stench of rot hit his nostrils. Bai Ye narrowed his eyes, quickly surveying his surroundings. He was in a narrow alley, the walls on both sides covered with dark red stains that looked like dried blood, and the ground was littered with garbage and broken bones.]
[The sky was a sickly grayish-yellow, as if shrouded in a layer of dead ash. In the distance, the roar of some kind of giant beast could be heard, mixed with faint human screams. This was a world on the brink of collapse, or perhaps, it had already fallen.]
[Bai Ye calmly checked his personal information. The attributes had been slightly enhanced, and the equipment was in good condition. The Blade Path: Azure Demon was strapped to his waist, the Origin Stone: World was quietly embedded in his chest, and the Black King Bracer on his right arm emitted a faint luster. Everything was normal.]
[He took a deep breath. The air here was filled with a high concentration of Abyss energy, which was a fatal poison to ordinary people but a tonic for him. The Abyss energy automatically converged towards him, absorbed by the Devouring Core within his body, slowly strengthening his soul.]
["The world invasion mission has been issued." A cold mechanical voice sounded in his mind.]
[Mission Content: Survive in this world for 30 days. During this period, hunt down the Abyss Spawn that have invaded this world. The more you kill, the higher the final reward.]
[Mission Difficulty: S-Level.]
[Mission Reward: Based on the number of kills and the evaluation of the world's original will.]
[Mission Penalty: Death.]
[Bai Ye's expression remained unchanged. He had long been accustomed to this kind of high-risk, high-reward mission. He reached out and touched the hilt of the knife at his waist, feeling the familiar coolness, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.]
["Old Hunter, huh... this title isn't bad."]
[He stepped out of the alley. The street was in a mess, with collapsed buildings everywhere, and some twisted, deformed corpses lying on the ground. These corpses were all blackened, with strange runes appearing on their surfaces, clearly eroded by the Abyss energy.]
[Suddenly, a low growl came from not far away. Bai Ye looked up and saw a three-meter-tall monster covered in black scales slowly crawling out from behind the ruins. Its eyes were bloodshot, its mouth full of fangs, and its claws were sharp as blades, dripping with a foul-smelling liquid.]
[Abyss Spawn, Eighth Rank.]
[Bai Ye didn't hesitate. His figure flickered, and he instantly appeared in front of the monster. The Blade Path: Azure Demon was drawn, and a streak of blue light flashed through the air, carrying a sharp whistling sound.]
[The monster reacted quickly, raising its claws to block, but Bai Ye's blade was even faster. With a "puchi" sound, the blade edge cut through the scales and deeply embedded into the monster's neck. Black blood splattered, and the monster let out a miserable howl, staggering backward.]
[Bai Ye didn't give it a chance to catch its breath. His figure moved like a ghost, circling behind the monster, and the long knife in his hand stabbed out like a venomous snake, accurately piercing the back of the monster's head. With a "crack," the monster's skull was pierced, and its body stiffened, then heavily fell to the ground, twitching a few times before going still.]
[The Cyan Steel Shadow Energy surged, quickly devouring the Abyss energy within the monster's body, converting it into soul energy that merged into Bai Ye's body. A warm current flowed through his limbs, bringing a comfortable sensation.]
["First kill." Bai Ye retracted his knife, his gaze calm. "This world... is interesting."]
[He turned and walked deeper into the street. Behind him, the monster's corpse quickly decayed, turning into a pool of black liquid that seeped into the ground, leaving no trace.]
[In the distance, the roar grew louder, and the sky became even darker. Bai Ye knew that this was just the beginning. In this world invaded by the Abyss, there were countless dangers and opportunities waiting for him.]
[And he, as an old hunter, was ready to face everything.]
