Chapter 23 Mount Bagong

Thud!

The highway rider fell from the car roof, riddled with bullet holes all over his body. His eyes were wide open, and he never understood what had happened until his death.

"You have completed Vic's dying revenge mission, retrieved the stolen supplies, and received the reward: White Reaper."

A white light appeared before Bai Ye, followed by a silver-white long box that fell into his hands.

Bai Ye was slightly stunned. Another gun case?

Bai Ye felt like he had been fixated on firearms lately. The gachapon machine kept spitting out firearms, and now he got a firearm from a random mission.

However, this did not mean Bai Ye was dissatisfied.

Firearms were good things, especially in the early stages of the World Battlefield. Almost no weapon was better than firearms.

This was because, in the early stages of the World Battlefield, most people's individual strength was not strong enough, and they relied more on weapons. This was also why Bai Ye had planned to strengthen his physical body from the beginning. His past experiences had made Bai Ye very clear about what was needed to survive in the World Battlefield.

Firearms, as transitional weapons in the early stages, were the most suitable and cost-effective.

Bai Ye thought as he opened the gun case, and immediately, his eyes became sharp.

The firearm inside was...

A proud sniper rifle—The Finnish Star!

Death Strike (Finnish Star TRG-42) (Blue): Known as the world's most precise sniper rifle. Barrel length: 1200mm, Rifle length: 690mm, Magazine capacity: 10 rounds, Caliber: .338 Lapua/

Naming this gun Death Strike was absolutely fitting.

At the same time, items in the World Battlefield were like the gachapon eggs; they were represented by colors for their rarity. Although blue was not yet considered high-level, Bai Ye considered himself lucky to get a blue sniper rifle from a casual mission. Moreover, the effect of Death Strike was also quite good.

Full firepower meant infinite ammunition...

This effect was most applicable to machine guns and submachine guns. When it appeared on a sniper rifle, it was indeed a bit lacking, as sniper rifles did not require frequent reloads.

However, one of the troubles of using firearms was ammunition reserve.

In places like the Doomsday Ruins, finding bullets was not difficult. But this was not the case everywhere. In areas without modern technology, bullets were impossible to find. Furthermore, carrying a large reserve of bullets was also a problem.

One must know that although the "inventory space" could hold items, supplies could not be placed in it. Even items that Bai Ye obtained from the gachapon machine could not be put into the "inventory space."

Therefore, infinite ammunition was valuable for any type of firearm.

As for lethal camouflage, this was also quite understandable. It meant coming with a ghillie suit, and this effect was perfectly suited for sniper rifles.

Bai Ye put away the gun and went to the vehicle containing the supplies. He threw the items from his motorcycle into the car and then drove away.

What excited Bai Ye was that the highway riders had brought him a surprise.

There was an electronic map inside the car.

According to the electronic map, continuing forward along Highway 404 would lead to a highway station with three routes: one leading to Wasteland City, one leading to the Rocky Canyon, and another leading to a place called Lake Ligal.

Lake Ligal was the headquarters of the highway riders, while Bai Ye's target was the Rocky Canyon, from which he could enter the Wonderland area.

The World Battlefield was very mysterious, composed of countless different areas. One moment it could be ruins, and the next it could be picturesque.

This was something the natives did not know, and they could not move between regions. Only those chosen to enter the World Battlefield could travel between different areas.

With the map, everything became simpler. Bai Ye drove along the highway. After about a day, he passed the highway station, and then a large area of rocky mountains appeared before him. The spaces between these rocky mountains formed winding canyons.

As Bai Ye drove to the front of the great canyon, he could see a layer of green light. Behind the light screen was a scene of lightning and thunder, chaotic void, as if he had arrived at the end of the world.

This was the regional boundary.

Crossing here meant entering another area.

Bai Ye stopped the car, then slung his backpack over his shoulder, selected some easy-to-carry food and water, and then walked forward.

The road ahead was not suitable for driving.

Because...

When Bai Ye crossed the regional boundary, he found himself in a forest. Towering green trees surrounded him, making driving impossible in such terrain.

This place was Bai Ye's destination, the Wonderland area—Mount Bagong!

There were many good things to be found in the Wonderland area. Some spiritual medicines had the power to revive the dead, and flying swords were also very popular. Who didn't have a dream of flying on a sword?

However, Bai Ye came to Mount Bagong not to pursue a life of immortal cultivation, but to...

Dig graves!

And not just any graves, but ancestral graves.

Because Mount Bagong housed the tomb of the King of Huainan.

The King of Huainan was fond of esoteric arts during his lifetime, and he had thousands of his followers who were scholars of these arts. The famous "Huainanzi" was compiled by the King of Huainan and his guests. In folk tales, the King of Huainan died from eating the wrong elixir. After his death, his soul was sealed in a cinnabar jade pot, which transformed him into a fierce ghost, eternally trapped in the tomb of the King of Huainan.

However, none of this was important. What mattered was that the King of Huainan enjoyed seeking immortality and was also a wealthy prince. Therefore, the tomb of the King of Huainan was filled with treasures of this nature.

The Five Spirit Disc, which Bai Ye was looking for, was one of the King of Huainan's best collections, used as burial accompaniment.

Therefore, if Bai Ye wanted the Five Spirit Disc, he would have to dig up the King of Huainan's tomb.
