"Holy flaming... This old guy just looks more and more suspicious..."

Looking at the old man in front of him, whose face was gloomy and filled with hostility while holding a big machete, Wang Zhifan still hadn't found any explicit evidence of non-human characteristics but had already mentally confirmed his abnormality. He felt the old man matched the description of Mad Tree-man apart from the word "tree."

"Old man, what are you trying to do with this stance? Do you feel your old bones itching and want to have a spar with me?"

He then began to negotiate coldly with the old man in front of him. Since the other person was not showing him a friendly face, he wouldn't speak politely either. Of course, he also said this because it was time to reveal his cards that he needed to test some theories through practice.

"You, leave here immediately, do not interfere with my igniting the holy flame! Otherwise, I won't be polite to you!"

The old man was not intimidated by Wang Zhifan's words at all, his attitude was rather tough, but he still didn't display any obvious non-human characteristics.

"Hah... What can you do, old fogey?"

As things developed to this point, Wang Zhifan decided not to continue probing. He decisively launched the ice source power at the old man in front of him, but he was particularly careful with the strength he used, just enough to freeze the whole body of a normal low-level player without harming them.

He did this to prevent accidental killing if the opponent wasn't disguised as a boss, otherwise considering the current dungeon's hostility against him, he couldn't imagine what kind of opponent would be waiting for him in the punishment room.

But with this instant attack, Wang Zhifan quickly determined a critical piece of information, which was that the old man in front of him was indeed non-human! He understood this through the feedback from freezing the opponent's entire body, as their body's strength wasn't human-like, and the easiest-to-freeze internal water distribution was wildly different from a human's!

"So you really aren't human... then die!"

After confirming the fact that the opponent was non-human, Wang Zhifan no longer hesitated. He instantly burst out with high-intensity ice source power, completely freezing the old man in front of him into an ice sculpture who was trying to struggle free, then forcibly dispersed all the tiny ice crystals within his body, exploding instantly like fireworks, dying thoroughly.

This simple and effective attack method Wang Zhifan had long been skilled at, worked particularly well against small-sized targets, almost equivalent to a one-hit kill skill.

As the old man stepped into oblivion, Wang Zhifan simultaneously saw the long-awaited reward list appear before his eyes.

"The highest reward in this dungeon is only rare? Absolutely crappy!"

Unlike last time at the Dragon Peak dungeon, where he nearly went dizzy looking at the reward list, Wang Zhifan found the reward tier relatively low with fewer options this time, and the highest reward was only the most basic rare level from last Dragon Peak dungeon rewards.

"Is it because the dungeon's boss is only Level 6? But considering this boss disguises and confuses people, the difficulty should at least be Level 10..."

Wang Zhifan realized a new form of hostility from the dungeon towards him at this moment, which was to avoid creating high-difficulty dungeons that might not kill him thus benefiting him, instead, making annoying yet unbeneficial ones disgust him, so he won't feel satisfied even after clearing it.

"Heh... Can't deal with the hard stuff so go soft, huh? Let me see how much my experience has increased..."

He then brought up his player personal panel to check the experience tab and found that compared to the 11 experience points at the end of the last dungeon, this time his experience only increased to 46, progressing rather slowly. This meant he needed to clear at least two more dungeons like this to level up to 6.

"Despite feeling all anxious before entering... But it doesn't rule out this was the dungeon's ploy to numb me, catching me off guard the next time..."

While cursing the dungeon's odd arrangements inwardly, Wang Zhifan also completed the selection of this round's settlement rewards.

He chose without any hesitation, directly picking three of the four rare rewards and selecting everything except Forest Grudge.

The reason for not choosing Forest Grudge was that he knew this equipment was used by priest class players, and priest class players were extremely rare on forums, almost requiring a large team to cultivate specifically, so priest class equipment was generally hard to sell, having lower priority. A more suitable effect for a priest was provided by Forest Love.
