Chapter 496: Chapter 496

A female Priest named "Diandian" happened to spot Haji, who had just seen off Lin Yi and the others, amidst the crowd outside the [Cursed Forest] dungeon. She quickly cut through the crowd to his side and said:

"Didn’t you say you had something to do in the morning? Are you also here to enter the dungeon?"

A group of players followed closely behind the little Priest, greeting Haji. Judging by their setup, it seemed they were prepared to enter the dungeon with the Priest.

Haji did not expect to meet this little Priest here. After exchanging greetings with her teammates, he pulled her aside to ask:

"Why didn’t you reply to my messages this morning?"

The little Priest instantly let out a surprised cry and playfully stuck out her tongue:

Haji didn’t press the matter further but hastily asked:

"Did you buy the epic first kill bragging rights?"

The little Priest shook her head:

"There’s been talk online that the Eternal Guild might pull a surprise; so I’m still deciding whether to bet on Eternal or KOS."

She tilted her head in confusion, looking at Haji:

Hearing what the Priest said, Haji seemed to relax:

"Good that you haven’t bought it."

The little Priest looked intrigued:

"Do you have insider information?"

Haji responded with a cryptic smile:

"Don’t place bets on anyone this time; today’s first kill result should surprise everyone. Whoever you bet on would lose."

The little Priest’s delicate face showed some shock:

Haji said meaningfully:

"Trust me on this, don’t bet on anyone. Today, we’ll just sit back and watch the show."

At this time, the Indonesia War Zone was flooded with various ’insider stories’ online due to the dungeon’s first kill ownership, with everyone acting as ’veteran players’ analyzing and discussing various guilds extensively.

Being the center of this public discussion, the main pioneering teams of the major guilds were battling intensively within the dungeon.

Instructions were issued from the dungeon commander, and each player was tense in fulfilling their roles.

Facing the encirclement of numerous Lv39 cursed zombies, any slightest mistake could lead to total failure, losing everything.

No one could take on such enormous responsibility.

However, among the many pioneering teams, there was one with a completely different scene:

Not long after Lin Yi and others entered the dungeon, fully rotted Lv39 zombie mobs emerged like mushrooms after rain from the underground, encircling Lin Yi and others in a converging manner, swarming towards them.

Life Value: 48000/48000

A stench of decay accompanied the appearance of these zombies, attacking the nose:

"Ugh, this is disgusting!"

Tian Ci and others were overwhelmed by the odor, instantly putting on a ’pain mask,’ while Lin Yi advised:

"If you can’t stand it, turn off the olfactory system." (Reducing Agility Attribute)

Just as everyone was preparing to face the disgusting zombie mobs, Dongfang Jing calmly said: Get full chapters from novel⟡fire.net

"A bunch of disgusting trash!"

Everyone was stunned, unsure why Dongfang Jing suddenly said this.

These zombies were indeed disgusting, but their Lv39 level was higher than anyone here except Lin Yi, calling them trash seemed exaggerated.

Just when everyone thought they were about to face a tough battle, Dongfang Jing pointed to a direction for Speechless:

"Speechless, lead the way, head over there."

Following the command, Speechless unhesitatingly swapped the long spear in his hand for a shield and a long knife, heading forward.

Dongfang Jing continued:

"Everyone else follow, Xinying in the center, Steady Uncle brings up the rear."

Everyone moved into position as instructed, with Speechless leading the charge towards the direction indicated by Dongfang Jing.

Tian Ci asked puzzled:

"What do you mean, what about us?"

Usually, when entering a dungeon, Tian Ci and Red Eyes, both Thieves, would serve as vanguards ahead.

But now they were the ones being protected, which made Tian Ci and Red Eyes somewhat uncomfortable, looking at each other in surprise.

Lin Yi beside them said:

"Stop whining, just listen to Jing."

Tian Ci immediately shut up, watching as the zombies ahead circled around a series of dead trees, moving to surround them.

Lin Yi, remarkably handsome, and Zhan Chen had already begun preparing for magic, but Dongfang Jing suddenly said:

"Everyone else, hold on. Xinying, you go first."

Everyone paused in shock: What kind of strategy was this?

Even Zhang Xinying hesitated, wondering if she heard wrong, pointing at her nose in surprise:

"Are you talking about me? Use Healing Technique?"

The rest reacted similarly to Zhang Xinying, looking at Dongfang Jing in confusion:

"Isn’t this a mistake?"

"There are so many zombies here, one person won’t be enough!"

Although everyone knew that Healing Technique could cause some damage to such creatures, the damage was extremely limited.

And the Healing Technique’s cooldown time was even longer than normal skills, further limiting its use.

Facing the dense group of zombies ahead, relying only on one Healing Technique seemed barely sufficient.

However, Dongfang Jing spoke:

"Who said to use Healing Technique?"

"Use Holy Word Technique."

At this moment, the Werewolf Prophet Yidra also explained in Zhang Xinying’s ear:

"Use Holy Word Technique."

"Holy Word Technique is the nemesis of all evil forces, a divine mission bestowed upon us to counter evil forces. You can use this skill to purify the undead who died unjustly."

[Holy Word Technique]: It’s said that light can dispel some evil, as well as find hidden figures in the dark; Skill Chanting Time: Instantaneous; Skill Consumption: 280 mp; Skill Cooldown: 2.5 s.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinying immediately followed Yidra’s request, raised her magic staff, and pointed at the zombies gathering ahead, activating the skill:

"Holy Word Technique"

Soon, under the curious eyes of everyone, a circle of colored ripples spread nearly a meter from the first zombie, expanding outward.

The zombies covered by the skill seemed indifferent, continuing to move towards everyone with their stinking feet.

Just when everyone thought nothing happened, a miracle unfolded before their eyes.

The covered zombies suddenly fell to the ground, their bodies appearing to vaporize, leaving only rotted cloth strips on the ground.

"Oh, can it be used ?"

Tian Ci and others were shocked, even Zhang Xinying found it unbelievable:

Zhang Xinying had been using this skill as [Investigation Technique] to search for hidden Thieves.

But she never expected the skill could also be used as an attacking skill, even for frightening instant kills!

Perhaps only Dongfang Jing remained as composed as ever, saying:

"Don’t freeze up, continue."

Zhang Xinying quickly responded, casting the skill on the zombie group whenever the cooldown ended.

Due to these slow-moving zombies, others seldom had a chance to attack, usually departing as the zombies were about to converge.

Tian Ci and Red Eyes followed closely behind Speechless, watching as the zombies in front fell continuously. Red Eyes suddenly exclaimed:

"This is the first time in my gaming experience I’m having it this easy."

Tian Ci nodded in agreement:

"This is probably what they call winning by doing nothing."

However, Remarkably Handsome found the issue:

"It seems there’s no experience here. Are you getting any?"

Tian Ci beside him rolled his eyes:

"Isn’t it normal not to get experience?"

"If we got experience, we’d level up easily camping in this dungeon every day!"

Remarkably Handsome thought about it and agreed.

Not only that, Lin Yi also noticed that the zombies Zhang Xinying purified didn’t drop any equipment either; the equipment shadows Lin Yi saw vanished along with the zombies.

But considering the priority of the mission, Lin Yi didn’t plan to waste time on those of low quality.

The group proceeded in a peculiar manner through the gloomy and eerie forest.
