Chapter 46 Deep-Level Dungeon, Toxic Dragon Lair

The previous wave of ferocious beasts' sneak attack and being attacked by all kinds of poisonous creatures made the four of them start to re-examine this secret realm.

"Judging from that wave of battle just now, if it comes again, we won't be able to withstand it." Butler Lin said, with some uneasiness.

That was only the first wave of attack when they entered the secret realm. If they went deeper, they would definitely encounter more enemies.

The three of them looked at Lu Yu at the same time.

From his performance just now, Lu Yu's battle experience was not inferior to theirs.

Moreover, he was calmer and did not panic at all.

He looked like a veteran who had been through hundreds of battles.

Yun Zirou asked, "Lu Yu, how do you think we should proceed from here?"

Lu Yu lowered his head and pondered for a moment. There were about 10 to 20 poisonous beasts that had just attacked.

If they continued to advance further, the number of ferocious beasts attacking them would definitely increase.

Most importantly, they had to be extra cautious when fighting with these beasts to prevent themselves from getting injured and poisoned.

They could not afford to drag it out if that was the case. It was very easy for accidents to happen if they moved forward slowly.

In the end, Lu Yu gave his suggestion.

"There is no turning back in the secret realm this time. We have to keep moving forward until we get the reward."

"The most important thing is that we can not drag it out. We don't have any poison-resistant equipment, and we have very few antidotes."

"So, my suggestion is to clear the level as quickly as possible and not engage in battle!"

"That way, we can avoid any accidents to the greatest extent."

Lu Yu's suggestion made the three of them nod their heads slightly. They felt that they should do this as well.

But soon, Butler Lin raised his doubts.

"From the situation just now, these beasts were very well hidden. We don't know which areas have enemies and which areas don't."

"If that's the case, it's impossible to advance quickly. We'll have to fight them sooner or later."

Yun Zirou nodded in agreement, "If the enemy's position is obvious, then we can scout and advance simultaneously. But we can't do that with the enemies just now."

Xiao Qing also nodded in agreement and frowned at the same time. This meant they had to advance while fighting and pay attention to the risk of being poisoned.

However, Lu Yu shook his head and said, "I can lead you to avoid the enemies and advance quickly."

The three of them looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.

"It seems that you have some means to identify the enemies," said Butler Lin.

Lu Yu nodded slightly and said, "In that case, I will lead the team and advance quickly!"

The three of them agreed and continued to move forward.

Butler Lin, initially in the lead, took over Lu Yu's position.

Lu Yu stood at the head of the team and led the three people behind him forward.

As they moved forward, Lu Yu used his Eye of Truth to detect the enemies around them.

As long as he sensed that there was a large area of enemies in that area, he would directly go around it. They might encounter some scattered enemies on the way, but those enemies were easily killed.

Yun Zirou and the other two discovered that, they encountered few enemies along the way under Lu Yu's lead.

It seemed that Lu Yu did not lie to them.

Thus, the three of them followed behind Lu Yu even more firmly.

Gradually, they were almost at the center of the mystical realm.

The more they got closer to the center, the fewer the ferocious beasts appeared around them.

Generally speaking, the center or end of the dungeon would be occupied by a Boss.

The other ferocious beasts would not dare approach a Boss' territory.

When they realized that the number of ferocious beasts around them was decreasing, they understood that they were almost at the heart of the dungeon.

They passed through the ruins, and suddenly, the area in front of them became wide open.

A large piece of empty land suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes. In the center of the empty land, there were four circular formations.

Mysterious patterns were carved on the formations, and the surrounding energy constantly surged.

Lu Yu stopped and whispered, "Be careful. This might be where the Boss is."

Yun Zirou looked excited. "In other words, this is the secret realm's reward location. Since that's the case, let's hurry out and get rid of that monster!"

She couldn't hold it in any longer and wanted to go out and look for the Boss.

Lu Yu stopped and reminded her, "It's better to be careful…"

Lu Yu felt that it was a little strange. His Eye of Truth didn't sense any powerful enemies around him.

Could it be that there was no Boss here?

Although it was a little ridiculous, Lu Yu still believed in his Eye of Truth.

"I think there might not be a Boss here."

Lu Yu's words made the three of them curious.That's impossible. How could there be no Boss in such a dangerous secret realm?" Yun Zirou was a little disappointed.

If there wasn't a powerful Boss, it basically meant that the rewards of this secret realm wouldn't be much.

Lu Yu took the lead and walked out. "Let's go and take a look first."

With someone taking the lead, the three of them quickly followed.

They slowly approached and arrived at the center of the array.

Then, all four of them received a notification at the same time.

[ Hidden, Fear Level Dungeon Discovered: Toxic Dragon Lair! ]

This notification left the four of them stunned.

These four arrays were teleportation arrays!

"There's actually an even deeper dungeon! It looks like these poisonous creatures are guarding this Toxic Dragon Lair!" Lu Yu exclaimed.

Then, he noticed the words "Fear level".

"Fear level… seems to be an even higher level dungeon than I experienced."

Lu Yu had researched the level division of dungeons. A Fear level dungeon was of a much higher level than the Dangerous level dungeons.

As for the Dangerous level dungeon, Lu Yu challenged two Bosses at one go in it, and he almost lost his life.

The difficulty of the Fear level was far greater than the Dangerous level. The Bosses that could occupy the dungeon were probably something else.

The other three frowned when they saw this level.

"This has already exceeded my level…" Yun Zirou said with some regret.

Although she was in a rush to improve her strength, she also knew what level she was at. A Fear level dungeon was far from what she could deal with.

Yun Zirou looked at Butler Lin and Xiao Qing and said, "This time, you two can go ahead. If you get the reward, you two can get a bigger portion of it too."

Butler Lin quickly nodded and said, "Alright, Miss… In that case, Xiao Qing and I will enter the dungeon. The two of you can stay here and wait."

Lu Yu was a little reluctant. It was not easy for him to encounter an opportunity, so how could he give it up so easily? If he did not participate now, he probably would not get any benefits when the dungeon ended.

"I want to enter the dungeon too. I won't miss such an opportunity."

Butler Lin quickly reassured him, "You're only level 19, so you're not suitable to enter a Fear level dungeon. If you enter, it will only delay us from completing the dungeon."

"When the dungeon is completed, we'll give you some rewards. You don't need to force yourself…"

Chapter 47 Challenge The Boss

Butler Lin's persuasion made Lu Yu give up the idea of entering the dungeon.

Lu Yu was not afraid of danger as he had many life-saving skills. If he could not defeat the Boss, he could just run away.

But now, he was not fighting alone. He wouldn't have much freedom with teammates by his side.

"Alright then. You two enter the dungeon. We will wait for you here."

Butler Lin and Xiao Qing nodded simultaneously and walked into the teleportation array.

At that moment, Lu Yu could suddenly sense the presence of danger from the formation.

The four formations represented the East, West, South, and North. There were four arrays representing four directions to the Toxic Dragon Lair.

Now, the formation in the south has revealed a dangerous aura. Lu Yu was just about to warn them when he realized that the dangerous aura had changed, emanating from the formation in the west.

However, very soon, the dangerous aura came from the north side, then the east side…

Lu Yu quickly understood that the Boss in the dungeon might have sensed them through the teleportation formation.

Hence, he frantically wandered around the four teleportation points, trying to catch them as soon as they landed on a specific teleportation array.

From this, it could be seen that the dungeon Boss' movement speed was extremely fast!

"Both of you, you must be careful after entering. The movement speed of this dungeon Boss is extremely fast! After teleporting over, don't stay in the same place for too long!"

After listening to Lu Yu's advice, both of them nodded their heads.

The fact that Lu Yu had led them all the way here already proved that he had a very strong perception ability.

Therefore, the two of them did not doubt Lu Yu's words.

"Don't worry. If we can't defeat the Boss, we will return as soon as possible." Butler Lin reassured.

Xiao Qing swung the short sword in her hand twice and said firmly, "We are going in to kill this Boss. There is no need to run!"

"Alright, you guys go on in. If anything happens, we will support you as soon as possible."

However, when Butler Lin heard this, he shook his head with a grave expression.

"No, if anything happens to us, you guys should run away quickly. If both of us are defeated, then both of you are definitely no match for it!"

Xiao Qing looked at Yun Zirou and said, "If anything happens, you must run back. You don't have to come and save us!"

Hearing this, Yun Zirou felt a slight discomfort in her heart. She didn't know what to say to that.

However, Lu Yu had already made up his mind that he had to go in and challenge the Boss. Otherwise, wouldn't he have come in vain?

Butler Lin and Xiao Qing walked to the south side of the array formation, and the two stood in the array formation.

Immediately after that, the array formation began to operate. Energy gushed, and light shot out from the array formation.

Above the formation, a teleportation door slowly opened. The two of them could see the situation inside the Toxic Dragon Lair through the teleportation door.

The two of them stepped through the teleportation door and entered the inner part of the dungeon.

Then, the teleportation door closed.

Lu Yu and Yun Zirou came to the center of the four formations and began to wait.

On the other hand, the place where the two of them entered was a huge and spacious cave-like lair in the inner part of the dungeon.

The cave was filled with purple crystals, and the crystals were emitting a weak light. It barely illuminates the surroundings.

As soon as Butler Lin entered, he was fully armed, prepared, and wearing his rock armor.As for Xiao Qing, she was also ready to fight at any moment.

Not long after the two of them entered, they heard an earth-shattering roar!

That ear-piercing dragon's roar made the two of them cover their ears.

The two looked not far away and saw a huge figure flying toward them.

It was a huge dragon with a giant body. It was flapping its wings and had dazzling amethyst crystals all over its body as it charged toward the two of them.

Butler Lin's expression immediately changed. "This… This is actually the Amethyst Toxic Dragon! Xiao Qing, get ready. We need to go all out!"

Xiao Qing's expression turned serious. She had heard of the Amethyst Toxic Dragon before. It had terrifying strength and a violent nature.

Moreover, its strength rating was around level 30!

Even though Butler Lin and Xiao Qing were both level 20 and above, it would still be tough.

After all, an Awakener and a Boss with a giant physique were not the same.

Even though Butler Lin was level 28 and was only two levels lower than the Amethyst Toxic Dragon, the difference was like heaven and earth when it came to actual combat.

Butler Lin's entire body was covered in thick rock armor, and his pair of heavy rock fists made him look mighty and domineering.

Xiao Qing, at his side, pulled out a pair of short swords and also took a battle stance.

The Amethyst Toxic Dragon quickly attacked, and a pair of terrifying giant claws slashed at the two of them!

The two did not hesitate and quickly dodged the giant dragon's claw attack!

There was a large crater where the giant claw gauged out the earth. The two of them felt a chill in their hearts just looking at it.

The Amethyst Toxic Dragon landed on the ground and turned around to look at the two of them. Its dark purple eyes stared straight at the two of them, and its eyes were filled with anger.

It was obvious that the dragon was furious at the two intruders.

Therefore, it flapped its wings with all its might. Immediately, countless crystals shot out and crashed toward the two of them!

When the Amethyst Toxic Dragon stood and flapped its wings, its height was three stories tall. The two of them would not be able to withstand the impact of these hard crystals.

However, the flying crystals shooting at them were densely packed, and the two of them had nowhere to hide.

"Xiao Qing, stand behind me!"

Butler Lin waved his hand, and a stone wall rose from the ground in front of them, protecting them.

Then, Butler Lin used both hands to block in front of him, creating a second layer of protection.

The crystals smashed toward him, and a series of muffled bangs could be heard. A few cracks appeared on the rock wall in front of Butler Lin.

The next moment, with a loud bang, the wall collapsed, and the crystals smashed toward him.

The sharp crystals crashed onto Butler Lin's arms, causing cracks to appear in the rock armor on his arms.

The violent impact also made him stumble and retreat.

Xiao Qing, hiding behind him, saw an opportunity and instantly rushed out.

Her phantom-like speed allowed her to dodge the remaining crystals in an instant.

Very quickly, she charged to the feet of the Amethyst Toxic Dragon!

In the next moment, she brandished her two swords with all her might and activated her Armor Penetration skill, slashing down at the giant claw of the Amethyst Toxic Dragon!

With a crisp sound, the amethyst crystal covering the giant claw of the Amethyst Toxic Dragon shattered, revealing the flesh underneath.

The Amethyst Toxic Dragon felt the pain and raised its right foot, trying to stomp down on Xiao Qing.

Xiao Qing did not panic at all. She climbed up the giant claw of the Amethyst Toxic Dragon and directly jumped onto the back of the Amethyst Toxic Dragon!

The back was the weak point of all the giant dragons. It was a position that was difficult for them to guard against.

After climbing onto the back of the giant dragon, Xiao Qing quickly activated her Armor Penetration skill a second time and attacked the scales on the back of the huge dragon.

The crystal scales shattered one after another, revealing the hide and muscles underneath.

The Amethyst Toxic Dragon was in pain. It frantically flailed its body, but it could not attack Xiao Qing.

At that moment, Butler Lin had also finished defending against the incoming crystal. He clenched his fists and charged toward the Amethyst Toxic Dragon.

When the Amethyst Toxic Dragon saw Butler Lin charging over, it instantly realized that it was in a disadvantageous position.

Thus, it hurriedly flapped its wings and flew up!

Xiao Qing, also in the air, felt they were in a pinch at that moment!
