431: Abnormal difficulty!

In the Endless Bloodbath Secret Realm Dungeon.

Wang Chen naturally didn't know that Lei Meng and Pei Qian had put on a show with the Bear Country's team leader, making the Sakura Country's team leader foolishly agree to a life-and-death duel.

He was currently sitting under the Totem Stone Tablet, comfortably watching the Senior Brothers battle the Evil Blood Clan with his four little companions.

Now, three hours had passed, and the Evil Blood Clan assaulting the camp had launched their third wave of attacks.

The first wave of Evil Blood Clan was quite weak for everyone. Each passage leading from outside the camp to the Totem Stone Tablet saw enemies led by five-tier Viscounts, accompanied by nine Rank 4 elite Vampire Soldiers.

As soon as these Vampires roared out of the darkness, they were completely annihilated within two or three seconds, not even enough for Chu Youxiong and the other three to warm up.

The second wave of Evil Blood Clan was the same. The number doubled, but facing Chu Youxiong and the others, they were still slaughtered.

Now, in the third wave, the Evil Blood Clan assaulting the camp in each passage had become three Viscounts, plus twenty-seven Rank 4 elite Soldiers.

This was a force sufficient to pose a great threat to ordinary Six-Turn Professionals, but in front of Chu Youxiong and the others, it still failed to make any waves and was easily suppressed.

Through these three waves of Evil Blood Clan attacks, Wang Chen discovered a pattern: the second and third waves were two and three times the first wave, respectively. This meant that when the time in the Secret Realm Dungeon reached the fourth hour, the number of Evil Blood Clan emerging from the darkness would be four times that of the first wave.

"Looking at it this way, it's quite simple!"

"Although there's a saying that many ants can bite an elephant to death, under an absolute power gap, no matter how many low-tier Vampires there are, they can't harm the Totem Stone Tablet in front of us!"

Muttering to himself, Wang Chen instinctively touched his nose.

The team competition lasted for a total of three days, which meant they had to stay in the Secret Realm Dungeon for seventy-two hours.

By this calculation, there would be a total of seventy-two waves of Evil Blood Clan assaulting the camp.

According to the current pattern, the last Evil Blood Clan to appear would be led by seventy-two Viscounts, plus even more elite Vampire Soldiers.

Although the number was large, in Wang Chen's opinion, they were vulnerable.

Not to mention Chu Youxiong and the others, just him alone, throwing out a large-area skill could deal tons of damage to Vampire Soldiers equivalent to Rank 4.

And...

"At that time, if there are too many, they won't be able to fully spread out in the camp!"

Although each of the four passages leading to the darkness was ten meters wide, they could only allow four or five Vampire Soldiers to Charge side by side.

Once the number reached hundreds or thousands, the Evil Blood Clan swarming in would be almost no different from lining up to be killed.

"The growth pattern of these Vampires' strength absolutely cannot be this simple. I'm afraid there will be even more terrifying changes later."

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, a flicker of thought flashed in Wang Chen's eyes.

If the situation were truly this simple, the number of teams that could last all three days in the team competition would probably be over a hundred.

"What are you thinking about?"

At this moment, Chu Youxiong and the others returned. Seeing Wang Chen frown, they couldn't help but lean in curiously.

"Nothing, it's just that I have some doubts about the Vampires that will assault the camp later..."

Moving aside to make space, Wang Chen recounted what he had just been thinking to them.

"Haha, how could the team competition be that easy!"

Chai Yue patted Wang Chen's shoulder and said casually:

"It's clear you haven't paid much attention before, kid. Let me tell you, since the Endless Bloodbath Secret Realm Dungeon became the venue for the team competition, through so many Global Prodigy Competitions, not a single team has ever lasted until the end."

"Your Blazing Dragon University's Senior Brother Senior Bai set the best record when he competed, lasting fifty-six hours in the Secret Realm Dungeon. This record has not been broken for years."

"This?"

Hearing this, Wang Chen's eyes widened, his expression somewhat disbelieving.

No one had ever lasted until the end of the Endless Bloodbath Secret Realm Dungeon? The best record was only fifty-six hours?

This situation was truly beyond Wang Chen's expectations.

"Old Chai is right. The Endless Bloodbath Secret Realm Dungeon gets harder and harder the further you go. The Vampires that appear later are simply not something we can deal with at our current strength."

Before Wang Chen could ask, Du Jijun interjected:

"You don't know how terrifying the strength of those Vampires that appear later is!"

"Let me put it this way, what we're encountering now are just appetizers. Each time the number doubles, it seems difficult, but it's actually nothing."

"In the Endless Bloodbath Secret Realm Dungeon, difficulty is divided into two types: one is increasing the number, like now, and the other is increasing the quality."

As he spoke, he sat down on Wang Chen's other side, put down his weapon, and continued:

"Increasing the number goes without saying, you just saw it, it increases once every hour. Quality, on the other hand, increases once every fifteen hours, and the numbers reset."

"You see, we're currently encountering Viscounts and elite Vampire Soldiers, but from the sixteenth hour onwards, all that appear will be Viscounts, and the ones leading them will become elite Viscounts."

"From the thirty-first hour onwards, it's a lineup of Earls plus Viscounts."

"From the forty-sixth hour onwards, it's a lineup of elite Earls plus regular Earls."

"You can imagine how exaggerated the enemies we face will be from the forty-sixth hour onwards! How formidable Senior Brother Senior Bai and his team were to last until the fifty-sixth hour!"

After listening to Du Jijun's words, Wang Chen's eyelids twitched violently twice.

With just a quick calculation, he figured out the number of enemies his Senior Brother had faced at the very end: a full one hundred and ten Blood Clan Earls in each passage, eleven of whom were elite Earls.

One must know that the strength of a Blood Clan Earl is equivalent to a Six-Turn Professional, and those who can be called elite are undoubtedly powerful existences among their peers.

And this was only the enemies encountered by lasting until the fifty-sixth hour. Later, even stronger Vampires, equivalent to Seven-Turn Professionals, would appear, such as Blood Clan Marquises.

Thinking about this difficulty, Wang Chen couldn't help but complain:

"Was this Secret Realm Dungeon designed with no intention of letting us pass?"

They were now battle-power comparable to Seven-Turn, not actual Seven-Turn Professionals. The guy who designed this Secret Realm Dungeon was truly insane!

"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it. The original intention of this Secret Realm Dungeon was to test our stress resistance, so naturally, it's designed to be as difficult as possible."

"After all, when these Vampires first appeared back then, our predecessors faced much greater pressure than us."

Chai Yue smiled, comforted Wang Chen, and then suddenly winked and said:

"Old Chu said yesterday that you broke all the records Senior Brother Senior Bai left at school. This time, let's work hard and try to break his record for the longest duration as well!"
