31: Chapter 31: Immunity to All Poisons Activated!

The entire place was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

The entire Green-skinned Monkeys tribe, with over a hundred creatures, seemed to have been hit by a pause button.

Everyone's gaze was fixed blankly on the man who was slowly sheathing his longsword, and then on the pointed-ear head rolling on the ground, its face still frozen in a roaring expression.

What happened?

Just now... what happened?

Everyone's brain fell into a brief crash.

They only saw the Green-skinned Monkeys leader stand up, preparing to issue an order, and then... then a shadow, too fast to be caught by the naked eye, flashed by, and then... the leader's head flew off.

Gone.

A good grade early-stage BOSS, carrying two good grade weapons, was just like that... instantly killed?

Without even enough time to say a complete line, it kicked the bucket?

"Hiss—" Someone, who knows who, gasped, the sound appearing exceptionally harsh in the silent clearing and instantly waking everyone up.

"F... fuck!" The man playing with the alchemy puppet had his mouth wide enough to fit an egg, "This... what kind of speed is this?"

"I can't see it... I can't see it at all!" The archer carrying a longbow was filled with horror in his eyes.

He prided himself on his keen eyesight, but in that moment just now, he only caught a blurry afterimage.

In Anna's ice-blue eyes, for the first time, an emotion called "shock" appeared.

She stared fixedly at Li Taiping, her hand gripping the sword hilt turning slightly white at the knuckles due to the force.

She believed her swordsmanship was fast enough and precise enough.

But that sword strike of Li Taiping's just now had completely exceeded her scope of understanding.

That wasn't simple speed, but a kind of... eerie sword technique that seemed able to ignore spatial distance!

"Is... is this really strength that a human can achieve?" Anna murmured to herself in her heart.

She had originally thought that her own good grade early-stage strength, combined with her family's knight swordsmanship, even if not the strongest among these ten people, was definitely a top-tier existence.

But now, in front of Li Taiping, she felt like an apprentice who had just learned to swing a sword.

As for Li Jun, after the shock, an indescribable sense of pride and relief surged in his heart.

"My brother... is awesome!" He clenched his fists tightly, feeling the blood in his whole body boiling.

He knew Li Taiping was strong, but he didn't expect him to be strong to such an unimaginable level!

As for Helya, her mind went blank.

"Instant kill... he actually instantly killed a good grade BOSS..."

She had originally thought that although Li Taiping was Good-Grade Late Stage, he was ultimately just a young man, and his combat experience must be insufficient.

But now it seems... she underestimated him!

But so what?

Helya licked her lips; no matter how strong Li Taiping was, he was only at good grade strength, while her trump card could threaten an Excellent Grade!

The final loot would still belong to her!

Just when everyone was still immersed in great shock, shrill screams broke the silence.

"Chi-chi-ga-ga—!!!"

A Green-skinned Monkey closest to the leader's corpse seemed to finally react, pointing at Li Taiping and letting out a terrified scream.

Immediately after, the entire tribe exploded into chaos.

The leader being killed caused this army of monsters, which originally had some discipline, to instantly fall into chaos and rage.

Waving their weapons, red-eyed, and as if they had gone crazy, they charged towards the intruders!

"Careful! They've gone crazy!" Li Jun roared, reacting first and raising the revolver in his hand.

"Kill!" Anna also shouted, her knight's longsword drawn, charging towards the monkey horde.

The others also gradually recovered from their shock.

Although the BOSS had been snatched, there were still over a hundred ordinary monkeys and three big Green-skinned Monkeys here!

These were all moving treasure chests!

"Damn it, I can't snatch from that pervert, but can't I snatch from you bunch of monkeys?"

"Kill! wooden treasure chest! stone treasure chest! They are all mine!"

In an instant, except for Li Taiping, everyone acted as if they had been injected with chicken blood, howling as they charged into the monster crowd.

The alchemy puppet was like a war machine; every swing of its huge iron fist could smash several Green-skinned Monkeys into meat paste.

The archer's arrows fell like raindrops, with every arrow precisely harvesting a life.

Li Jun's gunshots rang out continuously; on the chaotic battlefield, the lethality of gunpowder weapons was also not to be underestimated.

Helya also displayed her eerie poison arts again, throwing poison bottles into the monkey horde one after another; yellow-green poison mist spread out, and patches of Green-skinned Monkeys fell down screaming, turning into pus.

The whole scene was chaotic and bloody.

And the one who caused all this—Li Taiping—was like an outsider.

He didn't even participate in this "feast."

After slaying the leader, he leisurely walked to the side of the throne, waiting calmly for the loot to refresh.

That indifferent appearance seemed as if the bloody battle before his eyes was just a farce unrelated to him.

This posture, falling into the eyes of others, further deepened their awe of Li Taiping.

The composure of the strong.

This is probably what it looks like.

The battle didn't last long; it could even be said to be a one-sided crushing victory.

Under the joint strangulation of several top experts using all their trump cards, the over a hundred Green-skinned Monkeys and three big Green-skinned Monkeys were finally slaughtered.

The entire clearing was covered with the corpses of Green-skinned Monkeys, and the air was filled with a heavy smell of blood and burnt stench.

[Dungeon trial complete, completion countdown: one hour. When the countdown ends, players will be forcibly removed from the dungeon.]

[Reward: Explore this island to your heart's content! Good luck.]

Following the system prompt sound, the monster corpses all over the ground began to turn into light spots and dissipate.

Replacing them were treasure chests emitting different lights.

Over a hundred antique wooden treasure chests, three stone treasure chests flickering with the luster of bluestone, were scattered on the clearing like stars.

"We're rich! We're rich!"

"Hahaha, so many chests!"

The surviving players looked at the loot all over the ground, each revealing an excited smile, and the previous fatigue and tension were swept away.

However, everyone's gaze eventually gathered in front of the tallest throne.

There, the light turned into by the Green-skinned Monkey leader's corpse was the most brilliant.

The light dissipated, and three items were quietly floating in mid-air.

A heavy crossbow with a fine design, flickering with cold light.

A meteor hammer covered in spikes, looking very heavy.

And... a token emitting a soft blue light!

[Rapid-fire Heavy Crossbow (good grade)]

[Armor-piercing Meteor Hammer (good grade)]

[crew release order (Special/Blue)]!

Good stuff, all good stuff!

Especially that blue release order!

The value of this thing is higher than those two good grade weapons combined!

For Li Taiping, the release order represents a new crew member, a new Talent, representing another leap in the ship's strength!

Li Taiping's breathing couldn't help but become a bit heavy.

So great!

This dungeon trip was so worth it!

Thinking that on his "Many Children, Many Blessings" ship, another stunning beauty was about to be added, Li Taiping's mood surged, and the smile on his face became brighter.

The huge harvest made his always vigilant attention relax a little bit at this moment.

He reached out, preparing to put these three top-tier loot items into his pocket.

However, just at the moment his fingertips were about to touch that blue token.

His movements froze abruptly.

A faint, cold, and eerie force, from who knows where, silently coiled around his body.

At the same time, a system prompt that only he could see suddenly lit up on his retina.

[Passive Talent: Immunity to All Poisons (Triggered)]

[Detected unknown curse-type poison invading your body...]

[Invasion failed.]

[Talent effect activated, immune to this damage.]

Poison?

Where did the poison come from?
