NOVEL NEXT Chapter 276: The Moment of Collapse
Lin Yue skillfully placed an armor-piercing arrow onto the alloy tactical crossbow and reloaded all the firearms.
Leaning against the corner of the wall, his breathing gradually steadied.
Picking up a bottle of water, Lin Yue drank it all and then looked around.
47 Lizardman corpses lay here, with 4 beggars mixed among them.
Just collected 12 Copper Treasure Chests, and left the remaining thirty or so to the Little Ice Lizards to save energy.
[You have gained 1 cubic meter of storage space]
[You have gained...]
Total of 4 cubic meters, better than nothing.
Lin Yue felt no pity for these beggars.
Mingling with the Lizardmen, thinking they were safe even after being warned, was utterly foolish.
Combat power? You think piling up numbers in this cramped space makes you invincible? Is your brain completely incapable of turning?
Besides, whether it was last night or today, even after taking out so many of them, they still manage to resist... wait.
Maybe they didn't know.
Lin Yue realized that he wiped them all out every time, so they had no chance to relay the information.
So that's how it is.
[You have gained a Silver Treasure Chest!]
Oh, wow.
Walking out from the pile of corpses, Lin Yue unexpectedly found he wasn't leaving empty-handed.
Getting a Silver Treasure Chest, not bad.
Upon placing it into the storage space, he found he now had a total of 91 cubic meters of storage space.
"Hmmm... if the bodies of Levik's people had been left, wouldn't the number in front be 200 now? Right, there were over 300 of Levik's people left who ran into the Ancient Secret Realm Gate, what happened to them later?"
Lin Yue suddenly remembered this.
Levik gathered over 500 people, he took out nearly 200, and the remaining over 300 ran into the Ancient Secret Realm Gate... what did they do afterwards?
Later on, he indeed saw a few of Levik's comrades' bodies, but only those few, not the others.
Were they all eaten by the Poison Celestial Dragon? Or killed by the Storm Flying Lizard, or something else?
At least there should be some trace left.
Strange.
"Puchi." The Little Ice Lizards, tired after a big fight, confirmed there were no more enemies around and immediately reported this to Lin Yue.
Lin Yue nodded, opened the system panel, and contacted Xing Lingfeng and other friends again.
Since this matter came to mind now, not solving it would leave him feeling uncomfortable.
"If you have news about Levik, or anyone under him, please let me know. I will pay a bottle of wine as an information fee."
After sending this, he stood up again.
Ignoring friend requests from Lily Kalahao, Jia Yunzhan, and Caspar, he closed the system panel.
Now is not the time for Alliance Leader matters, focus on immediate concerns.
In the Underground Ruins, there are countless Lizardmen and beggars after his life, no time to worry about Saviors or Alliance Leaders.
Muscle soreness.
The mind also gradually felt fatigued, with attention scattering.
Seems like, after always relying on the exoskeleton, the backlash of side effects is quite significant.
Usually spending all day fighting, collecting, or constructing with the exoskeleton, there was no worry about muscles, if any downside, it's the fatigue from repeating the same actions.
Moreover, reliance on it means muscle can't be trained, as everything done is labor-saving, with rich returns for little input.
Rubbing his shoulder for a while, Lin Yue picked up the alloy tactical crossbow again.
Time to continue.
"Puchi puchi." The Little Ice Lizards seemed rested enough, and after eating Lion's Head Bear Meat, they all recovered considerably.
But Lin Yue also knew they wouldn't last long, continual fighting isn't tiring, but intermittent battles exhaust more.
"Let's go, let's finish quickly." Lin Yue said as he walked forward.
On the area map, the main road he's walking on has web-like paths like those in Zone F, but those paths are inaccessible to him.
The Little Ice Lizards received Lin Yue's command, leaving Little Six, while the other three headed into various small paths.
From time to time, Lizardman screams came from inside, but Lin Yue wasn't affected.
Those hiding for ambush shouldn't blame anyone when ambushed themselves.
The journey was quite peaceful.
Lin Yue quickly passed through this complex area, arriving near the giant room with the Little Ice Lizards.
"Last time I threw a bomb... it's probably unavoidable this time too." Lin Yue said as he sent Little Six to scout near the main gate while he observed with the night vision device.
Indeed, at the room's entrance, there were two enemies, fully armed and looking extremely tense.
