Just as the battle was about to erupt and the tension reached its absolute peak, a familiar mechanical chime echoed clearly within Lin Xiaotian's mind, cutting through the chaos with unnatural precision.
The system's voice followed immediately, calm and emotionless, as if completely detached from the life-and-death situation unfolding before him.
Ding Congratulations, Host You have slain a Golden Core demonic beast.
Reward Granted: Location of Demonic Corruption Source unlocked.
A brief pause followed, almost as if the system was deliberately pacing the revelations, before another notification appeared with greater weight than before.
Ding Hidden Mission Completed — Beast Forest Hunt.
A translucent panel seemed to form within his mind, its contents unfolding one line at a time with cold clarity.
Mission Progress: Kill five Core Formation demonic beasts — 0/5.
Hidden Objective: Slay a Golden Core demonic beast — Completed.
