Online Game: Lord Of The Wheel Of Destiny

This place was not far from Eternal Frozen Island. With many teams resting nearby, the sounds of battle here had already attracted quite a crowd.

Fortunately, the fight was too short, and the surrounding people hadn't arrived in time.

Jiang Kai quickly finished looting the experience points, threw on his cloak, and disappeared into the night.

With this looting spree, Jiang Kai's level skyrocketed to 17.

However, Jiang Kai didn't feel much excitement. He kept thinking about the persistent status he had just acquired.

"Bloodthirsty Slayer. Logging in will make me detectable, and death will incur triple penalties..."

Jiang Kai silently calculated.

Just from the experience loss alone, under normal circumstances, dying results in a loss of twice the experience plunder limit.

With the Bloodthirsty Slayer status, that loss would become six times the limit.

If you factor in his talent "Double," it would rise to twelve times.

If he were Huang Wei and lost 12,800 experience, his death would mean losing 76,800 experience.

And that's not even considering the possibility of a Super Double triggering...

"Damn it, dying even once would cost me too much now." Jiang Kai couldn't help but feel a chill of fear.

The worst part was that this status wouldn't disappear after just one death...

"No wonder no one wants to rely on experience plundering to level up. This status is terrifying!" Jiang Kai sighed.

It's worth noting that only killing players from the same faction grants the Bloodthirsty Slayer status, so his previous kills of smugglers didn't count.

Fortunately, the Bloodthirsty Slayer status is only detectable during login. Normally, others wouldn't know he had this status.

"Where do I get Tears of Repentance? I don't think I've ever heard of that item."

After some thought, Jiang Kai suddenly let it go.

"In that situation earlier, if I had let even one person go, they would've reported back, and the consequences would've been far worse than getting this status. So, they all had to die."

"As for this Bloodthirsty Slayer status... Anyway, I've already saved enough money for my brother's medical treatment. It doesn't matter anymore. I'll slowly cleanse it with Tears of Repentance later."

"By the way, this status affecting job changes... What does that even mean?"

Mulling it over, Jiang Kai returned to the Fire God Squad's temporary camp.

"Kai Squad Leader, you're back?" Hu Yan approached eagerly.

"Yeah, where's Ruan Yu?"

"He's asleep."

Jiang Kai entered the tent, saw Ruan Yu sleeping soundly, and let out a sigh of relief.

"Kai Squad Leader, what were you doing?" Hu Yan leaned in curiously.

Jiang Kai smiled and looked at Hu Yan. "Aren't you supposed to be a fortune teller? Guess."

"Fortune-telling only works beforehand. How can you do it after the fact?" Hu Yan stroked his mustache with an air of authority.

Jiang Kai had no words to counter his explanation.

Just then, Hu Yan suddenly leaned in mysteriously. "Kai Squad Leader, did you go kill someone?"

"What the... How did you know?" Jiang Kai looked at Hu Yan in shock. "Did you calculate that before I left?"

Hu Yan looked smug. "Do I need to? We came here to mess with the Black Tortoise Guild Guild. Watching you sneak out and then swagger back in, it's pretty obvious."

After speaking, Hu Yan grew serious. "But Kai Squad Leader, in two hours, Black Tortoise Guild will start their operation. Don't make any rash moves now, or we'll lose the moral high ground."

Jiang Kai smiled faintly. "Don't worry, I know. Actually, I already killed someone. But it wasn't me looking for trouble; he came to me. Also, that guy wasn't involved in the Frozen Fishman Lord hunt."

Only then did Hu Yan nod in relief. "Kai Squad Leader, looks like you've completed your mission?"

Jiang Kai nodded.

"Killing their people right under Black Tortoise Guild Guild's noses... You're insane. Next time you do something this exciting, take me with you..." Hu Yan looked at Jiang Kai with excitement.

Jiang Kai stared at Hu Yan in shock. This guy had a death wish too?

"Maybe next time," Jiang Kai replied half-heartedly.

Hu Yan sighed in resignation and switched topics. "Kai Squad Leader, since the mission's done, should we leave now, or what?"

Jiang Kai thought for a moment, his gaze shifting back to Eternal Frozen Island.

At this moment, the area around the island was bustling with activity as people began packing up their camps.

After some consideration, Jiang Kai said, "It'll be dawn soon. Black Tortoise Guild will be hunting the Frozen Fishman Lord. Even if they know I killed their people, they won't have time to come after me."

"Since we're already here, we might as well stick around and witness the king-tier boss."

———

Eternal Frozen Island.

In the Black Tortoise Guild Guild's camp, Huang Tong was reviewing the battle tactics.

Suddenly, Huang Da rushed in and whispered something into Huang Tong's ear.

After hearing the report, Huang Tong slammed the table and stood up, glaring at Huang Da. "You're saying Little Wei was killed? When?"

Huang Da nodded. "About ten minutes ago. I immediately checked the scene."

"There were several teams nearby. I questioned them about what happened. Based on their descriptions, I can confirm it was..."

"Who?" Huang Tong's bloodshot eyes flared as he half-shouted.

"Jiang Kai!" Huang Da said through gritted teeth.

"Jiang Kai? Are you sure?" Huang Tong looked at Huang Da in disbelief.

"Uncle, I'm sure!" Huang Da said firmly. "Witnesses described his appearance and said he used some kind of concealed weapon. Who else could it be? He killed Huang Wei's entire team alone."

"Alone? Took out the whole team? That's ridiculous! Huang Wei had four second-tier fighters with him." Huang Tong frowned, both furious and shocked.

"I don't know how he did it, but based on the descriptions, I'm certain it was Jiang Kai."

"Jiang Kai!" Huang Tong roared in anger. "How dare he kill our people right under Black Tortoise Guild's nose."

"Uncle, Jiang Kai probably hasn't gone far. Should we send some experts to take him out?" Huang Da squinted slightly. "It just so happens that we've got plenty of them here."

Huang Tong's eyes blazed, but after staring at the map of the team formations for a long time, he slammed his fist on the table again. "The hunt for the Frozen Fishman Lord is about to begin. We can't spare anyone to deal with Jiang Kai."

"The Third Elder is personally overseeing this. The hunt must succeed. Huang Wei's matter can wait. Also, confirm offline whether it was really Jiang Kai. I still can't believe he'd have the guts to act here."

After Huang Da left, Huang Tong grew angrier the more he thought about it, slamming his fist on the table again.

"A single Jiang Kai, and we still haven't managed to kill him. Now he's even disrupting my plans... Jiang Kai, whether it was you or not, you've crossed the line this time."

"Word is that some military figures think highly of you, huh?"

"After this hunt, I'll use the Frozen Fishman Lord's Summoning Skull to make sure the military abandons you completely."

Huang Tong was confident he could make the military give up on Jiang Kai.

After all, Jiang Kai wasn't part of the military, just someone a few of their people admired.

And the Summoning Skull's value far outweighed Jiang Kai.

Not long after Huang Da left, someone else rushed into the tent.

Seeing the newcomer, Huang Tong immediately straightened up and said, "Old Xu, what's wrong?"

"President, Jiang Fang is here."

Huang Tong's expression changed. Jiang Fang's arrival meant the hunt was about to begin.

"Let's go welcome him." Huang Tong immediately walked out of the tent. "Also, notify everyone to enter battle-ready status. Prepare to engage the Frozen Frozen Fishman Lord."

The third hunt had officially begun.
