Chapter 498: Chapter 498
"It’s here, jump down."
In a sinister and eerie wilderness forest, Shiyu looked at the flat surface before them, puzzled and somewhat at a loss:
Just as Shiyu was stunned, Zhan Chen walked over from behind and shielded Shiyu:
Shiyu quickly reacted:
"Don’t worry, it’s fine."
Then, under the curious gazes of the others, he jumped toward the ground covered with thick fallen leaves.
The next moment, Zhan Chen unexpectedly went right through the layer of leaves, disappearing from the group’s sight.
Tian Ci instantly reacted:
"Is this a Blinding Technique?"
Even more surprisingly, Dongfang Jing seemed very familiar with this place, otherwise, if they had to search together, they wouldn’t know how long they’d wander in this wilderness before finding this entrance.
Dongfang Jing suddenly said:
"Don’t stop, hurry and get inside."
At this moment, zombies were staggering closer from all directions, occasionally emitting creepy roars from their mouths.
With Zhan Chen paving the way, Shiyu no longer hesitated:
Then Shiyu leapt forward and disappeared from view.
By now, zombies had gathered in increasing numbers, and in that moment of pause, the ones from the back caught up, blocked by Stable as a Mountain.
Just then, Zhang Xinying cast a Holy Light Technique, instantly purifying the zombies in front of Stable as a Mountain, making them disappear. Lin Yi tugged on Stable as a Mountain’s armor:
"Uncle, you go first, I’ll cover the rear."
Then Lin Yi summoned the Golden Behemoth, whose roar echoed, "Roar~~"
The Golden Behemoth stood like a fortress before Lin Yi, clenching its fists and pounding the ground heavily:
"Boom!" with a loud crash,
The zombies around were directly knocked back by the impact, and Lin Yi urged:
Stable as a Mountain hesitated for a moment but finally listened to Lin Yi:
Then Stable as a Mountain followed closely behind Dongfang Jing and jumped down.
After everyone had descended, Zhang Xinying worriedly said to Lin Yi:
"Lin Yi, come quickly."
Lin Yi didn’t look back and replied:
"You go down too, I’ll be right there."
Zhang Xinying glanced at Lin Yi, gritted her teeth, and turned to jump forward.
The other zombies, having lost their target, swarmed toward Lin Yi.
Amazingly, those zombies directly crossed over the entry concealed by the Blinding Technique, but Lin Yi could not be bothered with that and raised his hand to start casting skills at the entry area:
"-31450" double damage
"-19870" critical strike~
A series of dense damage numbers rose above the zombies’ heads, while Lin Yi carved out a clearing for himself and retracted the Behemoth:
Then he activated the skill:
"Instant Teleportation"
Lin Yi landed above the entrance, as a few zombies extended their claws to grab at him.
But they only managed to snatch a strand of hair, as Lin Yi had already fallen below the entrance:
This so-called entrance was actually a tunnel leading to who-knows-where, pitch black inside.
This process reminded Lin Yi of sliding down a childhood slide, and after sliding for an unknown duration, his view suddenly widened.
Lin Yi instinctively shielded his eyes with his hand and soon heard Tian Ci’s voice:
At the exit, Lin Yi landed on the ground with a thud, eliciting a burst of laughter from the group. Red Eyes told Handsomely Worn Out:
"Haha, no face plant, you lost, pay up."
Handsomely Worn Out looked disappointed, bowing his head:
"A bet’s a bet, here you go."
Then he handed a bag of Gold Coins to Red Eyes.
At this point, Lin Yi still hadn’t realized what happened, so Zhang Xinying quickly came forward to help him up:
Lin Yi shook his head:
By now, Lin Yi had gradually adjusted to the sudden bright light, and when he opened his eyes, he was stunned by the scenery in front of him:
Lin Yi looked up, seeing a vast field of flowers swaying beautifully in the sunlight.
A gentle breeze swept by, as numerous bees and butterflies flitted busily across this sea of flowers.
On the other side, a small river flowed, with crystal clear waters, and the sound of trickling water, "burble, burble," evoked a sense of relaxation and clarity.
In the distance, a two-story wooden house stood out prominently.
This scene starkly contrasted the zombie-filled, decayed forest they had just come from, creating an intense visual impact. Chapters fırst released on Nove1Fire.net
The scene before him suddenly reminded Lin Yi of the saying:
"After the dark willows and bright flowers, there’s another village ahead!"
Tian Ci marveled at the beauty before them:
"It’d be wonderful if there were such a place in reality, living a solitary life here would be a kind of enjoyment too."
Handsomely Worn Out suddenly came over and tapped Tian Ci on the head:
"Wake up, stop dreaming, we’re in a dungeon."
Zhang Xinying couldn’t help but exclaim in Lin Yi’s ear:
"It’s so beautiful here."
But just then, Dongfang Jing spoke untimely:
"Have you forgotten why you’re here?"
Lin Yi also snapped out of his shock, opened the mission panel, and saw that the dungeon task had changed:
[Cursed Forest] (Hell) Progress: 2
Eliminate the Alchemist: Nasimento Farrell 0/1.
Lin Yi raised his head to look at the distant wooden house, faintly seeing some phantom images of Equipment glowing with a faint golden light. If he wasn’t mistaken, the BOSS should be in that cabin.
Lin Yi instinctively looked at Dongfang Jing:
"Is there anything to watch out for here?"
Though Dongfang Jing hadn’t explicitly said so, Lin Yi could sense that she seemed quite familiar with the place.
At this moment, Dongfang Jing slowly began to speak:
"Farrell is an Alchemist obsessed with ancient Alchemy, and there are very few records of him on the Rafam Continent."
"What I know is that because the Alchemy Farrell mastered was incomplete, there was an error during an Alchemy process, almost costing his life on the Alchemy Platform."
"Although he didn’t die in the end, he is now no different from a living corpse."
Tian Ci curiously asked:
"Is it the Zombie King?"
Dongfang Jing didn’t explain but rather said:
"You’ll see for yourself in a moment."
"And one more thing, his weakness is in his life. When the time comes, you’ll know."
"Besides that, how you’ll fight him, it’s up to you to arrange."
Lin Yi didn’t object, instead, he said:
"Alright, let’s get going!"
Then Lin Yi looked at Zhang Xinying, who returned the glance with a nod and began casting BUFF Skills on the team:
"Holy Light lv3" increases ally healing effects by 25%, lasting duration.
"Divine Strike lv3" increases ally’s physical/magic attack by 15%, duration: 10 minutes.
"Shadow of Holy Light lv3" 15% probability of critical strike, lasting duration.
"Divine Shelter Lv1" increases ally Magic Defense by 50%, lasting 15 minutes.
"Heart of Guardian lv5" enhances ally Magic Defense 25%, persisting for 15 minutes.
"Order-Defending Array Lv2" makes allies immune to 8% of received damage, lasting 30 minutes.
They felt as if they were preparing to use ’cheats’ while watching those dazzling bright auras, with powerful BUFFs dropping onto each team member.
With beams of blinding light all around, strong BUFFs were bestowed upon the team by Zhang Xinying.
Shortly after, a Dragon’s Roar echoed as the Elf Dragon appeared, and with an angry roar, the Golden Behemoth appeared in front of Lin Yi.
Following that, Handsomely Worn Out and the others summoned their Combat Pets, causing another wave of powerful roars to reverberate around the place.
Tian Ci and Red Eyes entered Stealth mode, and Lin Yi followed with:
"Let’s move, make it quick."
