Night fell quickly, plunging the world into darkness.

Suddenly, a flapping sound came from afar, as if birds were flying by.

The outside world was pitch black, with no moon, and nothing was visible.

A dangerous feeling emanated from the jungle opposite.

The jungle in this place had tall trees and dense vegetation, casting an ominous shadow.

"Everyone, stay quiet, and don’t make any rash moves. Listen to my commands. We don’t yet know what danger we’re facing. Be cautious, and once we have a clear understanding of the situation, then we’ll act. Understood?"

Waldo’s voice was calm and collected, refraining from any rash actions.

Even though he had the capability, that wasn’t his style.

"Understood!"

"Yes, Master!"

"Yes!"

His strong warriors nodded hurriedly.

They were completely obedient to Waldo’s orders.

...

"With the coming of night, I always have this inexplicable sense of danger! My subordinates are even more cowardly than I am, trembling with fear, huddling inside the thatched house, refusing to go out, it’s outrageous!"

"The same here, I’m speechless. Once we earn enough points, we’ll summon other armies and won’t keep these useless poor people anymore!"

"I’m so frustrated, they’re completely unmanageable, don’t obey orders, and there’s no hope they’ll be of any use."

In the chat channel, some trialists were close to despair.

What kind of people were their subordinates!

Absolutely hopeless.

...

Time passed, but no one knew how long.

No loud noises were heard.

Only faint breathing sounds fluctuated in the quiet environment.

All the strong warriors and Waldo waited silently.

Suddenly.

In the distant jungle, pairs of eerie green eyes suddenly lit up.

A dangerous aura rushed forth.

There were at least a dozen pairs of green eyes.

"Be alert, it’s wolves!" Waldo said in a deep voice.

His eyes were bright.

Even in the darkness, he could clearly see the figures in the distant jungle.

They had large bodies, covered in black fur, much larger and stronger than ordinary wolves.

Their green, glowing eyes and bared fangs were terrifying.

They emerged from the jungle.

Their strides were agile and purposeful.

Their target was clearly the thatched house.

"Don’t panic, we’ll act when they get closer."

Waldo instructed.

He intended to make full use of the traps.

Although he felt these wolves were no match for his strong warriors, it was still better to be cautious.

Moreover, Waldo planned to annihilate all the wolves.

This was something other trialists couldn’t even imagine.

Their biggest hope was simply to survive.

After all, their subordinates were terribly inadequate.

...

Swoosh!

A wolf over a meter tall and incredibly strong was the first to attack.

It ran rapidly towards the direction of the thatched house.

It seemed to have caught the scent of humans.

Leaping forward, it fell into a pre-prepared trap.

A howl of pain ensued.

The other wolves, startled, approached the edge of the trap.

The first wolf was impaled, bleeding profusely, with a strong scent of blood in the air.

"Howl—"

Swoosh!

Swoosh!

One after another, wolves lunged towards the thatched house.

Seemingly provoked, they sought to avenge their fallen comrade.

Their speed was fast and they were agile.

As a result, another seven or eight wolves fell into the traps prepared by the strong warriors.

Immediately, continuous howling filled the air.

The eyes of the wolf pack turned blood-red.

It was unclear whether it was anger or sorrow, but their expressions had changed dramatically.

A color called fear permeated the air.

But more prevalent were anger, greed, and madness.

This was not an ordinary wolf pack.

They would not easily give up.

"Howl—"

With no more traps, the path was clear.

...

[Killed a jungle wolf, earned ten points, tenfold reward triggered, earned one hundred points!]

[Killed a jungle wolf, earned ten points, tenfold reward triggered, earned one hundred points!]

[Killed a jungle wolf, earned ten points, tenfold reward triggered, earned one hundred points!]

...

[Congratulations, you have fortuitously found a dropped treasure chest, earning an additional one hundred points. Tenfold reward triggered, earned one thousand points!]

...

A series of system notifications echoed in Waldo’s mind.

But he had little time to focus on them.

Danger was approaching.

The wolf pack was already pouncing.

Their claws, shimmering coldly, razor-sharp, reached out.

Waldo, who had been silent, roared.

"Attack!"

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

In an instant, the air glittered with cold light.

Sharp swords unsheathed, slashing at the attacking wolves.

The first two wolves were instantly finished.

Then.

Bang!

Bang!

Two strong figures burst through the door and windows.

Cold light flickered as they thrust their blades at the wolves.

Echoing shouts came from outside.

It turned out several hidden strong warriors had emerged.

They attacked the wolves in the courtyard from all directions.

Enemies appeared from all directions...

For a moment, the wolves, oblivious to fear and the difference between life and death, were thrown into disarray!

They tried to flee in different directions.

"Kill them! Don’t leave a single one alive!"

Waldo shouted loudly, leading the charge.

He caught a strong jungle wolf, wrapped his hands around its head, and twisted forcefully.

With a crack, the wolf lay silent and dead.

Under Waldo’s leadership, the already high-spirited strong warriors became even more formidable.

The air was filled with the flash of cold blades and the whimpers of the wolves.

On the ground, the bodies of the jungle wolves lay strewn.

...In a short time, under Waldo’s command, the strong warriors fought bravely and fiercely, completely annihilating the thirty-two wolves that had invaded the yard.

This battle yielded rich rewards!

[Killed a jungle wolf, earned ten points, tenfold reward triggered, earned one hundred points!]

[Killed a jungle wolf, earned ten points, tenfold reward triggered, earned one hundred points!]

[Killed a jungle wolf, earned ten points, tenfold reward triggered, earned one hundred points!]

Message after message refreshed.

Waldo glanced over them briefly.

Not only did he earn points for killing the jungle wolves, but he also gained two unexpected treasure chests.

With an initial reward of one hundred points, the tenfold reward made it one thousand points.

Roughly calculating, Waldo had earned a total of 5,200 points!

Killing thirty-two jungle wolves amounted to 3,200 points.

The points from the two treasure chests added up to 2,000.

And there was more...

[Congratulations to trialist Waldo for successfully annihilating a wave of wolf attacks, achieving a 100% completion rate, and earning a reward of 500 points! With the tenfold reward triggered, you gain 5,000 points!]

Waldo’s points surged past 10,000!

"So much!"

Waldo’s eyes lit up.

He felt an indescribable surprise and excitement.

"Tomorrow, let’s work on reinforcing the thatched house!"

Waldo thought to himself.

With the first wave of crisis averted.

Waldo had the strong warriors clean up the battlefield.

He then turned to the chat channel out of boredom and found it filled with cries of despair.

"Damn it, what’s going on, why are there so many zombies!"

"Help, help, I’m trapped in a room and don’t dare to go out!"

"Zombies everywhere, oh man, someone save me!"

"Crying, my subordinates were eaten by the wolf pack, that scene, unbearable to watch!"

"Help, help!"

"Online and urgent!"

"What do I do, what do I do? I feel like I’m done for! It’s just the beginning, am I really going to end like this? I can’t accept it!"

...

Refocusing his attention.

By this time, the cleanup was complete.

Yet, Waldo had not encountered any new waves of wolves or zombies.

"Why haven’t they come yet?"

If anyone heard Waldo’s thoughts, they’d probably look at him as if he were foolish.

Are you sick or something?

While others desperately hoped not to encounter any wolf packs or zombies, you, on the other hand, seem oblivious to the danger, actually wishing for them to appear?

Do you think you’ve lived too long?!

Yet, that was the reality for Waldo.

With his strong warriors, elite soldiers, he feared no danger!

Therefore.

He hoped for more wolf packs and zombies!

More accurately, he needed more points.

After waiting in vain, Waldo could no longer sit still.

"If they won’t come to us, then we’ll take the initiative!"

Waldo decided to act.

...

After some preparation, Waldo led his strong warriors, advancing through the night.

They entered the jungle, searching cautiously.

They didn’t venture too deep, moving slowly, seeking their target.

In a clearing.

They suddenly stopped.

"Halt, look ahead!"

Waldo abruptly halted everyone’s movement.

Looking ahead, by the river, there was a row of dilapidated buildings.

They seemed like relics from a bygone era.

In these buildings, there were figures in tattered clothes, with blank stares and ashen skin.

Their eyes were lifeless, faces pallid, and their mouths full of sharp teeth.

These were living zombies!

"Don’t act rashly, let’s see how many zombies there are first!"

Waldo quickly calmed the eager strong warriors.

Although they were powerful in combat.

Their numbers were too few.

They couldn’t be impulsive.

Otherwise, they might suffer an unexpected setback.

Waldo sent out a few strong warriors to scout the zombies in the buildings from different directions.

He took charge of the main reconnaissance.

Soon after, once everyone reconvened,and combined their findings for analysis, Waldo said: "The number of zombies here shouldn’t be too many, probably only about twenty or thirty. We can easily handle them. So, let’s take action!"

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

The strong warriors, fearless in the face of death.
