In an area as vast as a soccer field, it was crowded with dense multicolor dungeon spiders.
Dungeon Spider Lv35
Life Value: 4500/4500
Looking at the scene before him, Lin Yi couldn't help but think: If someone with trypophobia were here, they would probably faint on the spot.
Not to mention anything else, even for someone like Lin Yi without trypophobia, it was still a bit hair-raising, giving him goosebumps all over.
"The Heart of Tarolin?"
Lin Yi looked up, but he didn't see anything resembling the Heart of Tarolin.
Among the phantoms on those spiders were some common materials and ordinary equipment, occasionally there was some rare equipment, which Lin Yi directly ignored considering his current perspective.
After making sure there was nothing around, Lin Yi had to summon the Nightmare on the high platform and mount it.
When Lin Yi rode the Nightmare and flew off the high platform, it signified the start of the challenge.
For others attempting this level, apart from strong abilities, a bit of luck was required to complete it.
Otherwise, wanting to obtain the mission items from those spiders in a short time would be akin to daydreaming.
Unless someone was exceptionally lucky, that's a different story.
It's clear Lin Yi wasn't exceptionally lucky, but he was like someone with exploits.
Hence, this challenge posed no pressure for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi rode the Nightmare, flying to mid-air, and quickly found the mission target at the edge of the area.
Although they were level 35 monsters, at Lin Yi's current level 29, it still took quite some effort to take down the target.
Lin Yi, controlling the Nightmare, picked up this mission's item.
At this moment, the world chat channel suddenly became lively.
Especially with the appearance of someone named "Startled Swan Slash," making a deep impression on Lin Yi.
Because in the previous life, this guy, like Tianci, was a representative among solo players and one of the top players in terms of skill and strength.
Looking at the chaotic world chat, Lin Yi was puzzled:
"Did another guild war break out somewhere?"
At this moment, Lin Yi still didn't know about the events on Shengshi Drunkard's side.
However, very soon, Lin Yi stopped paying attention to this matter.
After all, how others fought didn't concern him at all.
Glancing at the time, it was already seven in the evening without realizing it.
This meant, from when Lin Yi entered the Endless Tower until now, nearly seven hours had passed.
As Lin Yi was contemplating whether to log off for dinner today, the world chat channel suddenly flashed an announcement in red (system announcement).
[World Event] System: "The Doming City Vault has re-emerged at Vermilion Bird City coordinates: Xuejian Valley 525:12."
[Secret Treasure Battle] System: Players can register at the Vermilion Bird City event ambassador to participate in the [Secret Treasure Battle]...
Seeing the system announcement, Lin Yi was initially stunned:
"Doming City? Why does this name sound so familiar?"
As Lin Yi was trying to remember where he had heard this name, Shengshi Drunkard suddenly sent a message:
Shengshi Drunkard (Private Chat): "Brother Feng Hua, I fear this time we'll have to trouble you again."
Seeing Shengshi Drunkard's name, Lin Yi suddenly realized.
Isn't this Doming City the treasure location marked on the Treasure Map he obtained from the Cyclops Race?
It seems that such a big commotion was probably caused by that Treasure Scroll.
Judging from the event's requirements, it wasn't hard to see that Shengshi Drunkard had likely become the target of everyone now.
After all, this concerns the treasure of a city, and apart from a few people, probably not many could remain indifferent.
What's more, according to the system prompt, players going to compete would have their personal information hidden at that time, greatly reducing the chance of being hunted down by Shengshi afterward.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the death penalty is reduced by 80%, and killing within the event area doesn't increase Sin Value. Isn't this blatantly luring people to come and steal?
Even though Shengshi is the largest guild in Hua Country, you should know there are millions of players in the entire Hua Country.
How many members are there in Shengshi Dynasty?
There are countless examples of ants overwhelming elephants, and even if Shengshi Drunkard was proud, he wouldn't dare claim he could stand against the entire server.
With the release of this event, it can be predicted that this will be the craziest event since the game opened.
"Continue the challenge?"
[Continue] [Cancel]
Originally, Lin Yi intended to push for the 20th floor today, but it seems he could only leave it for later.
Lin Yi decisively chose [Cancel].
...
At the same time, in a western Endless Tower, a terrifying skeleton fell to the ground under the fierce attack of a huge scythe, spilling equipment all over the ground.
A touch of purple stood out conspicuously among them.
And after breaking the skeleton, the scythe also shattered and vanished with the fall of the skeleton.
A tall figure standing not far from the fallen skeleton was gasping for breath.
Above this figure, the health bar was constantly flashing red, signaling a low life value warning.
"Continue the challenge?"
Not long after the skeleton fell, the health bar replenished once more.
This figure approached, picked up the equipment glowing with purple light, and vanished from the current scene.
"Level 18!"
"Satan J has cleared Level 18, while Feng Hua stopped at Level 16. It seems Satan J's world-first strength is well-deserved!"
"Who said Feng Hua stopped at Level 16?"
"Don't believe it? Someone just saw Feng Hua leave the Endless Tower and appear at the Cyan Dragon City's Teleportation Array."
As Lin Yi returned to the city, the players constantly monitoring the Endless Tower ranking were in an uproar.
They were unwilling to believe that Feng Hua's strength would lose to this Satan J.
Some also analyzed that Feng Hua's departure might be related to the [Secret Treasure Battle] event.
Of course, there were also those who believed that Feng Hua was using this event as an excuse to cover up his lack of skill.
Regardless, Feng Hua's failure to claim the top spot made many Hua Country players, who were initially full of expectations, filled with disappointment.
However, this matter quickly got overshadowed by the [Secret Treasure Battle], and the previously quiet Vermilion Bird City instantly welcomed countless players crazily flooding in.
