73: Sea of ​​Trees Court, Throne of Flesh and Blood, Mutation and Pollution

Jiang Yuan and Luo Xi arrived at the final location of the dungeon.

This was a dangerous jungle where lightning intertwined, the air was dry, and one could easily be struck by lightning at the slightest mishap.

[Ding! You have arrived at the final trial location of the dungeon - Royal Court of the Sea of Trees]

When the two of them arrived here,

Pei Congyun and Lin Qingyan had already arrived.

Catching sight of Jiang Yuan, Lin Qingyan's eyes flickered, but she said nothing.

"Oh my?"

She looked at Luo Xi, her thin lips parting slightly as she said, "Even you managed to break through to this place? Truly unexpected."

"Hah?!"

Veins twitched at the corner of Luo Xi's eyes, but she quickly calmed down.

She crossed her arms, accentuating her proud curves, swept a disdainful glance over Lin Qingyan, and a mocking smile appeared on her enchanting yet pure white face.

"I think you're talking about yourself. For a healer to appear here is truly a gigantic joke."

"I don't need it at all," Lin Qingyan said coldly.

Luo Xi's gaze just now had deeply displeased her.

Just a pair of huge breasts, who cares.

Ignoring the two of them bickering and confronting each other upon meeting,

Jiang Yuan looked at the silver-haired, grey-eyed girl standing behind the skeleton knight, and thought to himself,

"Such a dense aura of death... Is she that Necromancer rumored to have undergone an Awakening with an SS-rank talent?"

Pei Congyun was also looking at him with curiosity, wondering why the vitality on his body was so strong.

"Crack!"

A bolt of lightning fell from the treetops.

Jiang Yuan didn't even look, letting the lightning strike his body.

Amidst the three women's astonished gazes, he, with currents surging all over his body yet completely unharmed, spoke, "This place is somewhat strange."

Luo Xi's expression turned peculiar.

I think you are the strangest thing of all.

The silver-haired girl clutched her staff and nodded softly, "Mm, from the time we arrived until now, we haven't encountered a single Vicious Beast."

"Aside from that, there is also a weird aura." Lin Qingyan had her hands tucked in her jacket pockets, her dark hair cascading like a waterfall, and her fair little face furrowed slightly.

This aura was gloomy, foul, and ominous, inexplicably making her think of several King Realm Vicious Beasts she had fought in her past life.

However, this was a College Entrance Examination dungeon trial, which had been thoroughly inspected layer by layer by the Education Bureau; such an entity couldn't possibly appear.

"Hm?"

She keenly perceived movement and looked over in that direction.

"Boom!"

The ground suddenly fractured.

"Whoosh!"

Several slippery black vines, as thick as a well and covered in sticky liquid, drilled out from the ground like tentacles, sweeping toward the people on the ground.

With a single glance from Jiang Yuan, his telekinesis transformed into a blade, shredding the incoming vines.

Luo Xi released a skill, creating a black mirror in front of her to suck the vines into it.

Lin Qingyan softly spat out two words,

"Lightning Net."

Surrounding lightning surged over, weaving into a net with intertwined arcs of electricity, completely pulverizing the black vines.

The skeleton knight in front of the silver-haired girl waved its blade and cleaved the vines in half.

The first wave of attacks had just subsided.

The next second,

the chopped and pulverized black vines rapidly regenerated!

The silver-haired girl said softly, "Skeleton Bomb."

A large number of skeleton flying insects rose from the ground in front of her, rushing toward the writhing, incoming black vines and exploding with a roar!

After the huge explosion, most of the black vines were burned to ashes, with a few fragments fluttering down from the air.

Before the few of them could catch their breath,

"Swish, swish, swish—"

more black vines twisted and continuously drilled out from underground, looking like strands of hair growing from the earth.

Some of these vines grew black spikes, while others grew bloody maws filled with sharp teeth, surrounding the four people in layers.

Luo Xi was startled, "What on earth is this thing?"

"It looks like some kind of Clone, similar to tentacles. If we don't resolve the main body, these will never stop spawning."

Lin Qingyan said with a cold face.

"Lightning Descent!"

Accompanied by her decree, the dense lightning attribute in the surroundings transformed into countless falling lightning bolts, reducing the surrounding black vines to ashes.

Seeing this, Luo Xi suddenly understood.

"So you're a Cursespeaker, no wonder..."

"I am not," Lin Qingyan said coldly, casting two Divine Speech effects on herself,

"Shield."

"Acceleration."

Enveloped in a golden shield, she kicked off the ground, enduring the surrounding lightning, and transformed into a streak of golden light as she sprinted rapidly in one direction.

Jiang Yuan looked in that direction.

Within his spiritual Domain perception,

there seemed to be a black ball of light over there, continuously radiating dense malice outward.

Lin Qingyan arrived first, followed shortly by Jiang Yuan and the other two.

Appearing before the four of them

was a huge flesh mountain throne.

A giant treant with lightning surging all over its body lay ahead, its body pierced by countless black vines, drained dry into dead wood.

On that flesh mountain throne littered with Vicious Beast skeletons, a young figure wearing cyan robes was seated. His face was pale, yet his handsome features wore an exceptionally joyful expression, exuding an indescribable eerie vibe.

"Lin Junhao?!"

Catching sight of that person, Lin Qingyan was taken aback, filled with utter astonishment.

Lin Junhao slowly opened his eyes, looking down from above.

"It's Qingyan. To be able to come here, you truly live up to being my half-sister."

"What a pity..."

"You're too late."

Lin Junhao crooked his head with a crackling sound, opened his mouth, and pulled out a long tongue with his hand.

"This boss has already been eaten by me, oh~~"

"Heeheehee..."

Listening to his harsh laughter and looking at his bizarre appearance,

even Luo Xi noticed that something was wrong.

"Lin Junhao, have you gone mad?"

"Oh, Luo Xi, it's you."

Lin Junhao tilted his head, his body stiffly standing up from the throne, and inserted his fingers into his temples, twisting them gently,

"I've wanted to play with you for a long time. I confessed to you and you didn't agree, you bitch! I'm so happy you can appear here."

"Hahaha..."

Lin Junhao let out a joyful and frantic laugh, his eyeballs moving crazily in their sockets, and a single purple eye emerged between his brows, looking at the four of them.

"Boom!"

In an instant,

a terrifying mental pressure descended upon the four of them.

Luo Xi looked as if she had seen the most terrifying thing imaginable, her complexion turning instantly ashen.

The silver-haired girl gripped the staff in her hand tightly.

Lin Qingyan furrowed her brow tightly.

Looking at that single purple eye, Jiang Yuan finally sensed the source of the familiarity.

He drew his blade and stepped forward,

"So that's how it is. He has also been contaminated by the flesh and blood of a bizarre creature."

Lin Qingyan looked at him. "What do you mean?"

"It's the residual flesh and blood of that King Realm creature that once appeared in the Void Cavity and intended to invade South River City."

Jiang Yuan drew his blade and stepped forward. This simple sentence instantly made Lin Qingyan's pupils contract as she understood something in an instant.

"You, and Lin Qingyan, my good sister, neither of you will escape today."

Lin Junhao spread his arms, and they instantly elongated, turning into dense snake-like black vines that swarmed toward the four of them like a blanket over the sky.

A voice unlike that of a human echoed in the darkness.

"Merge with me."
