Reborn: Super God of War 453 Munjo Underground City

Lin Jie panicked. He had actually killed his sparring partner by accident… How pitiful. Tomorrow Night was just a Bandit with paper-thin Defense. Originally, they were both considered masters and would test out their skills on each other to train themselves, without much harm done.

However, after he started competing with Lin Jie on their Combo Attacks, their fight became heated and intense. Tomorrow Night realized that he was unable to suppress the strength of a Berserker. Unfortunately, as one who took pride in himself, he was extremely indignant.

It would be fine to say that the opponent's powerful equipment and stats overpowered him. However, they were competing purely based on their skills and techniques. He should have the job advantage, yet he was still defeated. His indignance, as well as the stress he felt, pushed him to exceed his limit. He felt a breakthrough of his skills, and he fought evenly with Lin Jie with even more power.

Lin Jie's competitive spirit was also ignited. Both parties did not care about anything and fought each other without holding back. The moment the rhythm of the fight started, they could not stop. Since Lin Jie's stats and equipment were one whole level above Tomorrow Night's, the result was predictable. Lin Jie did not hold back his attack in time, and Tomorrow Night was defeated.

Swoosh!

Tomorrow Night's body stood up slowly, and his eyes opened once again. His condition was restored. He had used a rare on the spot resurrection tool, which was a priceless treasure. An item like this could be easily sold for over a few thousand gold coins. After all, what was more important than one's own levels and equipment?

"How strong!" Tomorrow Night stared at Lin Jie for a long time before raising his thumbs up. He said earnestly, "Really strong!"

Lin Jie heaved a sigh of relief. He smiled and said, "Hehe, that, I didn't hold back in time and killed you."

Tomorrow Night nodded expressionlessly. He went to Yesterday Morning, who was at the side and gave him a good smack on his head, getting rid of his stealth-hit state. Tomorrow Night then waved his hand to show that he did not mind at all. His eyes were filled with admiration for him. He was envious of Lin Jie not for his equipment or stats, but another thing: combo attack! If he could achieve up to 90 combos, nobody would be able to compete with him!

"F*ck you fatso, you stupid showoff, you dwarf… I accompanied you on this mission out of goodwill, and instead, you hit me with a stick." Yesterday Morning, who had been watching a few minutes of the battle in his stealth-hit state and was itching to battle, cursed out loud. He said seriously to Lin Jie, "No, you've let him have all the fun. Entertain me too."

Lin Jie wiped his cheek and silently drew out his Broken Blade, leaving a vicious-looking track on the ground. He then glared at Yesterday Morning.

"Hehe, I'm just kidding." Yesterday Morning shrunk back sheepishly. He turned to his old partner and began mocking him. "Serves you right! You thought too much of your strength. Now that your only resurrection tool is gone, are you happy?"

Tomorrow Night fiddled with his dagger, and his eyes were looking down. It was clear that his mind was still caught up in the previous battle, and he was not listening to Yesterday Morning's nagging at all. The tall and skinny Bandit became bored and sat down on the ground with a safe distance from Lin Jie. This distance also meant that he would not attack Lin Jie.

"Codename Lone Wolf?" Yesterday Morning looked over 30 years old but was already balding, and the few strands of hair left on his head were growing white. He carefully touched the remaining hair on his head, then turned and said, "Don't be quick to deny it. We've been trying to find you for a long time, and only caught up with your tracks now."

Lin Jie was slightly surprised. "Find me?"

Yesterday Morning nodded and projected a picture into the sky. It was a mission notification letter. The task was to kill Lin Jie and attain his weapon. The reward was 10,000 gold coins, which was… 10,000,000$!

"Hehe, even I want to kill myself and get the gold reward." Lin Jie licked his lips. His eyes were cold as he said, "Since you've accepted a mission to kill me, what are you playing at now? Peaceful negotiation? Or to paralyze and attack me?"

"Don't misunderstand, the two of us have always been ones that kill openly and without any schemes. You can trust us on this. Our goal is simple as we've also received the mission at the Blade Peak Canyon. You should know, Bandits specialize in exploration missions. A mission like this, which requires us to kill monsters, is very difficult. If it were not for you, we would have to spend a lot of time clearing the Munjo Ogre campsite."

"Let's team up!" Tomorrow Night blurted out three words.

Yesterday Morning nodded and said, "Yes, a team. We'll work together and explore the Blade Peak Canyon. There are many treasures hidden in this map. As for the loot, we will take half while you take the other. When we find a treasure vault with an item that is valuable enough for us to kill each other, we'll then fight it out. What do you think?"

"You are really straight to the point." Lin Jie laughed.

They made their motives clear: Team up, enter the Blade Peak Canyon together, and split the loot by half. If they encountered an item so precious that everybody wanted to own it, they would fight each other, without holding grudges later.

Tomorrow Night stared at Lin Jie and asked, "What do you think?"

Lin Jie shook his head and said bluntly, "I'll take 8, and you guys take 2. Since you've already said that cleaning the map is a Bandit's weakness, shouldn't I be rewarded more for having to spend more effort and also be on guard for two people sneak-attacking me? Also, all operations should be centered around me. I'm here to find mission items as well. I won't forgo my target because of you guys."

Yesterday Morning was stunned. He did not expect him to demand 80% of the rewards at once! He glared at him viciously and said, "There's no room for negotiations? You killed my brother once, but we repaid injury with kindness and invited you to join us. This is the attitude you show us?"

"If it weren't for me, you two would have died instantly the moment you entered the cave." Lin Jie shrugged and said, "Since we aren't teaming up, let's just part ways. I'm only here for a mission while you guys are here to kill me. I really can't trust you two. We'll go our own paths. If we meet again, don't blame me for not holding back."

After he was done, Lin Jie turned around and left. He stabbed the key dropped by the Ogre Princess into the ground. There was a boom as a large flight of stairs appeared. He walked into it without turning back.

Yesterday Morning stretched his arms in annoyance and said, "That fellow is too arrogant. With such a temper, he won't be able to achieve great things! Why don't we kill him directly? We may even be able to force out some big moves and train ourselves. Or we can surround him and rear him. We'll take turns using him for practice, what do you think? I think he is very strong. If we can train with him, our skills will be greatly improved."

Tomorrow Night looked at the deep staircase, ignoring the words of his old partner, who was indulging in his thoughts. He said calmly, "Let's go!"

"Okay, let's go. Really, I've only fought with you once. My large knife is thirsting for a fight."

......…

Ding~

—"You have entered Munjo Underground City, you received 50 Knowledge."

Munjo Underground City, it was naturally the city built by the Munjo Ogres staying there! No wonder there were only a few campsites on the surface. The majority of them were gathered here! The underground city was vast and was filled with tunnels leading in all directions. Walking along a path, one could see a sea of giant stone houses, crypts, and chisel houses. They were all the places where the Munjo Ogres resided.

According to legend, The New Age was once run by the Ogres. At that time, the whole continent faced a bloodbath, and countless races worked together to overthrow the Ogres. Some of the Ogres had built a complex underground city under the guidance of their Prophet. They had stored their resources and manpower, intending to create an underground king. They would then return to the surface in the future and snatch back their throne.

Of course, their plan had never been fulfilled. The original residents of the underground—Devils, the Insect race, and Undead creatures had devoured most of the Ogres. Only a few underground cities remained.

The Munjo Underground City was one of them.

Lin Jie glanced behind him. Tomorrow Night and Yesterday Morning were Bandits, meaning they were not to be messed with since they had the Stealth Mode. For his safety, it would be best to leave first!

Yesterday Morning and Tomorrow Night were also known as the Shadow Kill's Grim Reaper.

Yesterday Morning was a Large Knife Thief. At least, that was the name of the job he had given himself. Instead of the conventional daggers and short swords used by Bandits, he used a full moon scimitar that even Paladins and Knights found heavy. His fighting style mainly consisted of him using force to suppress his opponents. Once he started to attack, he would swing his scimitar around with ease and use a Bandit's highly explosive skills to force the enemy to be on the defense. He would then wear down his opponent with his powerful skills and kill them!

Tomorrow Night was a traditional Combat Bandit. He used a dagger, and his explosive strength was pretty good. However, his true strength was in long battles. In Lin Jie's previous life, Tomorrow Night had been known for maintaining a battle for hours with the highest "damage output", as well as his combo. As long as he did not die, he would be able to deal shocking damage to his opponent.

One used a large knife while the other used a dagger. When they worked together, they were extremely powerful. In Lin Jie's previous life, Baili Changcheng, who was called Elemental Sword Emperor, had once been killed during a mission by these two people! It was evident how capable they were.

'The two of them do not have any ill intention for now. If they really have the intention to kill me, unless I kill them the instant I see them in the deep hole, they will probably defeat me if the battle drags on, right?' Lin Jie pondered over it. He had to consider the worst-case scenario at any time. If they already attained the skill they had shown in his previous life, he would definitely be killed.

Lin Jie was overthinking it. The truth was that the Shadow Kill's Grim Reaper brothers were far from reaching their peak. They were still in the midst of training, which was why they had accepted the mission to kill someone—to exchange blows with a veteran warrior and raise their own strength.

No matter what, one should not let their guard down! Lin Jie shut his eyes for a moment, and the scene of Baili Xuanyuan killing members of the Brotherhood with Needfire Red Lotus appeared in his mind. Lin Jie's heart immediately turned cold. He looked around and confirmed that the two Bandits were not around before he left.

However, the moment he turned into the next corner, he drank a Stealth Potion and hid in the dark corner.

'It's not good to have two people with hostility against me in this map. I'll just kill them. Their mission in the hidden map will probably fail, and they'll be forced to teleport out.' Lin Jie quietly drew out Broken Blade, waiting for Yesterday Morning and Tomorrow Night to appear in order to ambush them.

The moment they appeared, he would kill them instantly!
