Chapter 495: Chapter 495

Next morning at 09:15

Lin Yi and his team returned home from the airport and, after a brief rest, logged into the game together.

As soon as they were online, everyone appeared in the corridor of the tavern from last night, and at this moment, Lin Yi was surprised to see a figure waiting in the corridor:

"What are you doing here?"

The appearance of this person was somewhat unexpected for Lin Yi, but upon further thought, it seemed inevitable. Within a moment, he felt at ease.

Seeing Lin Yi and the others, Haji quickly approached:

It was just after 8:40 in the morning, and from Haji’s appearance, Lin Yi knew:

"You’ve been waiting here for quite some time, haven’t you?"

Lin Yi only mentioned yesterday that he would come to the dungeon today but didn’t specify what time he would log in.

By Lin Yi’s estimation, this person should have been waiting here for about an hour.

Haji smiled and didn’t answer Lin Yi’s question but said:

"I knew you guys were going to the new dungeon today and worried you might not find the place, so I thought I could take you there."

After speaking, he seemed concerned that Lin Yi and the others would refuse:

"Don’t worry, I didn’t tell anyone about this, no one else knows."

Everyone looked at each other, but eventually, all eyes were on Lin Yi.

When Lin Yi was present, all decisions were in his hands, and everyone had grown used to ’complying with his words.’

Lin Yi hesitated for just a moment before agreeing to Haji’s suggestion:

"Alright, then we’ll trouble you, Haji, my friend."

Haji suddenly grinned, saying quickly:

At this moment, Haji thought to himself that if his companions knew he was with Feng Hua, the number one in Hua Country, they’d probably be insanely envious.

Feng Hua’s fans are not just limited to the Hua Country Battle Zone.

Especially after yesterday’s events, Haji could clearly feel the unique charm that this number one in Hua Country exuded.

He knew that getting closer to someone could only bring advantages and no disadvantages.

A little help now might yield great returns in the future?

If this matter is seen as an investment, then Haji was willing to call it a surefire profitable deal.

Once everyone was gathered, they followed Haji towards their destination.

Moreover, this time, Haji carefully chose less crowded paths leading to the dungeon to avoid unnecessary trouble, knowing well that the identities of Feng Hua and others were still quite sensitive here.

After all, people around the world know that Ah San from the United States is notoriously loud; if they knew Feng Hua was here, Feng Hua probably wouldn’t be able to work here in peace.

At this moment, the game’s official website in the Indonesia War Zone was incredibly lively, as everyone knew that today the major guilds were vying for the first kill in the hell difficulty dungeon of the Cursed Forest. The officials had already opened the betting pools as a result.

Although the KOS Guild had a mighty influence in the Indonesia War Zone, the strengths of the two guilds behind it, the Demon Realm Guild and the Eternal Realm, were no less formidable.

Judging from the current progress of the dungeon, all three guilds were stuck at the final boss.

And today, whoever successfully got the first kill of this boss first would smoothly claim the first kill of the hell-difficulty dungeon and take the throne as the number one guild in the Indonesia War Zone.

Some might think a dungeon’s first kill might not be enough to instantly elevate a second or third-ranked guild all the way to first place, right?

But what if the guild obtaining the first kill received the membership of the top mercenary corps in the Indonesia War Zone?

Unlike the Hua Country War Zone, where forming mercenary corps wasn’t common, with the most famous being the Creation Mercenary Corps founded by Lin Yi.

In the Indonesia War Zone, that was the true blossoming of countless flowers, guilds everywhere, and the mercenary corps were innumerable.

Among them, the most acclaimed mercenary corps in the Indonesia War Zone once declared that whoever claimed the first kill of the hell-difficulty dungeon, they would disband their corps and join that guild entirely.

Faced with such temptation, the major guilds in the Indonesia War Zone naturally went all out, wanting to show off among the players in the Indonesia War Zone.

Securing the first kill would not only grant the guild incredible rewards but also the allegiance of the top mercenary corps, not to mention the pride of being the number one guild in the Indonesia War Zone.

Ask yourself, how many guilds could resist such a temptation?

This was also the biggest reason why the first kill was so highly anticipated.

Hearing Haji talk about this whole matter, Tian Ci couldn’t help but say:

"Isn’t this a coincidence?"

Then he chuckled and said:

"If we somehow get the first kill, won’t these people all end up empty-handed?"

Haji teased from the side:

"Originally, I was planning to bet that the KOS Guild would take the first kill, but after hearing you all were going yesterday, I immediately abandoned that idea." Official source ıs Nove1Fire.net

Shuai Diao Zha listened and laughed heartily:

"Now with us here, this first kill has nothing to do with them."

"If it weren’t for keeping a low profile, I would’ve wanted to open a betting pool and bet on us winning."

Listening to the banter and jokes, Lin Yi poured cold water over the mood:

"Don’t get too optimistic."

"They’ve spent three days strategizing this dungeon, while we know nothing about it."

"Making it through the dungeon today would already be good enough, let alone getting the first kill? It won’t be that easy!"

Red Eyes, at this moment, didn’t seem to agree and said:

"If anyone else said this, I’d wholeheartedly agree and think it made perfect sense."

"But hearing this from Boss Feng’s mouth, somehow, I don’t feel any pressure at all."

Xiao He chimed in from the back, agreeing:

"I feel like Boss Feng coming over this time, it’s like a divine plan to ruin their good fortune."

"It would be a waste of heaven’s arrangement not to do something extraordinary with such a coincidence, right?"

Lin Yi felt quite helpless at their blind optimism:

"You better not joke around. Once in the dungeon, if you’re all in this state of mind, dreaming of the first kill is out of the question."

Everyone burst into laughter, and Tian Ci said:

"Boss Feng, this dungeon requires 15 players, and there are only 11 of us. Should we find four more to make up the numbers?"

Lin Yi directly rejected this suggestion:

"No need, let’s try with what we have first."

"We’ll see how it goes; if needed, we’ll work it out afterward."

In the Indonesia War Zone, Lin Yi wasn’t familiar with anyone locally, and finding a few high-level players who could keep up with them wasn’t easy.

Gathering a few random people just for headcount would be a waste of time, so Lin Yi wanted to first try with their current team setup, adjusting later if necessary.

The Cursed Forest dungeon was located in a withered wasteland, but due to its nature, this desolate place was bustling with people right now.

And in this crowd, no one noticed the figures of Lin Yi and others.

Haji led the group all the way to the dungeon entrance, and then said:

"Good luck to you all."

Lin Yi smiled slightly:

Then he selected and opened the hell difficulty of the Cursed Forest dungeon:

The Cursed Forest, as the name suggests, was a forest cursed by some dark force.

When Lin Yi and his companions entered the dungeon, they were greeted by a silent and desolate forest.

However, all the trees looked as if they had been scorched by fierce fires, completely black from their roots to their branches.

The entire world was left with only one color: a suffocating black that pressed heavily on anyone.

Here, you couldn’t feel even a hint of wind, and even the air you breathed was thick and stuffy.

At this moment, Dongfang Jing unexpectedly spoke:

"From now on, listen to me in everything."
