Thump!
The highway rider fell from the car roof, riddled with bullet holes all over his body. His eyes were wide open, and he died without understanding what had happened.
"You have completed Vic's dying revenge mission, recovered the looted supplies, and received the reward: White Reaper."
A white light appeared before Bai Ye, followed by a silver-white long box that dropped into his hands.
Bai Ye was slightly stunned, another gun case?
Bai Ye felt like he was constantly encountering firearms lately. The gacha machine kept spitting out guns, and now he got a gun from a simple quest.
However, this didn't mean Bai Ye was dissatisfied.
Firearms were good, especially in the early stages of the World Battlefield's opening. There were almost no weapons better than firearms.
Because in the early stages of the World Battlefield, most people's individual strength wasn't 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 life's experiences made Bai Ye very clear about what was needed to survive in the World Battlefield.
As transitional weapons in the early stages, firearms were the most suitable and cost-effective.
Bai Ye thought as he opened the gun case, and then his eyes suddenly became bright.
Inside the firearm was a...
An arrogant sniper rifle – Star of Finland!
Death's Strike (Star of Finland TRG-42) (Blue): Known as the world's most precise sniper rifle, barrel length: 1200 mm, caliber: 690 mm, magazine capacity: 10 rounds, caliber: 338 Lapua/
Naming this gun "Death's Strike" was absolutely fitting.
At the same time, items in the World Battlefield were like the gacha balls from the gacha machine; they were graded by color. While blue wasn't yet considered top-tier, getting a blue sniper rifle from a casual quest was definitely lucky. Moreover, the effect of Death's Strike was quite good.
Full firepower meant infinite ammunition...
This effect was most suitable for machine guns and submachine guns. It was somewhat lacking when applied to a sniper rifle, as sniper rifles didn't require frequent reloads.
However, a common problem with firearms was ammunition reserves.
In places like the Doomsday Ruins, finding ammunition wasn't difficult, but it wasn't the case everywhere. In some areas without modern technology, bullets were impossible to find. Furthermore, carrying a large reserve of ammunition was also an issue.
It was important to remember that while the "Inventory" space could hold items, supplies couldn't be placed there. Even items Bai Ye got from the gacha machine couldn't be stored in the "Inventory" space.
Therefore, infinite ammunition was valuable for any type of firearm.
As for deadly camouflage, it was also quite understandable – it meant being equipped with a ghillie suit, and this effect perfectly suited a sniper rifle.
Bai Ye put the gun away, walked to the vehicle containing the supplies, unloaded the items from his motorcycle, and then drove away.
What excited Bai Ye was that the highway riders had brought him an unexpected surprise.
There was an electronic map in the car.
According to the electronic map, continuing along Highway 404 would lead to a highway station, where there were three paths: one to Wasteland City, one to the Rock Canyon, and another to a place called Lake Rigel.
Lake Rigel was the highway riders' base camp, while Bai Ye's target was the Rock Canyon, from where he could enter the Immortal Realm.
The World Battlefield was very mysterious, composed of countless different regions. One moment it could be ruins, and the next it could be picturesque.
This was something the natives didn't know, and they couldn't 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 a vast expanse of rocky mountains appeared before him. The gaps between these rocky mountains formed winding canyons.
As Bai Ye drove to the front of the grand canyon, he saw a layer of greenish-blue light barrier. Behind the light barrier was a scene of flashing lightning and chaotic void, as if he had reached the end of the world.
This was the regional boundary.
Crossing it meant entering another area.
Bai Ye stopped the car, then slung his backpack over his shoulders, packed some easily carried food and water, and then started walking forward.
The rest of the journey was not suitable for driving.
Because...
When Bai Ye passed 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 Immortal Realm – Mount Bagong!
Many good things could be found in the Immortal Realm. Some spiritual medicines had the effect of resurrecting the dead, and flying swords were also very popular. Who didn't have a dream of flying on a sword?
However, Bai Ye wasn't running to Mount Bagong to fulfill a cultivation dream, but to...
Dig graves!
And Bai Ye wasn't just digging ordinary graves; he was digging 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 scholars and alchemists under his patronage. The renowned "Huainanzi" was compiled by the King of Huainan and his retainers. In folk tales, the King of Huainan died from eating the wrong elixir, and after his death, his soul was sealed in a crimson jade pot, turning him into a vengeful spirit, forever trapped in the King of Huainan's tomb.
However, none of this was important. What was important was that the King of Huainan liked seeking immortality and was also a wealthy prince, so his tomb was filled with such treasures.
The Five Elements Disk, which Bai Ye was looking for, was one of the King of Huainan's best possessions, buried with him as a funerary object.
Therefore, if Bai Ye wanted the Five Elements Disk, he naturally had to dig up the King of Huainan's grave.
