201: Explore the dungeon

Xia Qi’s attack directly blasted open the stone monument.

Just then, a large number of Void Creatures rushed out from the stone monument.

In Xia Qi's eyes, it was a mass of glowing purple flesh.

And within that flesh, there were dozens of huge eggs.

When Xia Qi attacked, it immediately drew the attention of others.

Looking at the scene before them, their stomachs churned continuously.

Although they couldn't see the Void Creatures, the flesh left behind after these Void Creatures died was real.

So they quickly reported it, and someone immediately came to investigate.

Soon, this place was taken over by others.

They were only responsible for investigation; professional matters were left to professionals.

For some reason, the Void Creatures dispatched this time were not strong.

Even Low-level demons were mixed in, like cannon fodder.

These guys could even be dealt with by the contestants themselves; there was no need for others to act.

Not long after, another piece of news came.

A dungeon was discovered here.

This dungeon had clearly been opened before, but there was no one around this area.

In the Dragon Country’s dungeon archives, there was no record of this dungeon either.

Could it be Void Creatures!

What do they want with these dungeons? It can't be for leveling up by killing monsters, can it!

This was a level 35 dungeon. All high-ranking officials sent people from level 30 to level 40 to investigate.

And everyone was given a scroll; if there was danger, they could immediately exit.

Xia Qi was naturally among them, and he also arrived in front of the dungeon.

This time, he chose the hell difficulty without hesitation.

Hell Difficulty Dungeon is different from other registered dungeons; if someone truly tampered with it, it must be within the hell difficulty.

Xia Qi walked into the dungeon, which was a swamp.

Many others were with him.

Many also entered other difficulties, but hell difficulty had the most entrants.

Those who could come here were not weak.

Soon, everyone began to search.

Only Xia Qi saw that the Void Creatures were constantly swimming in the sky.

He did not mention this matter, only warning them to be vigilant against Void Creatures.

It was difficult for them to detect Void Creatures unless they actively revealed themselves.

These Void Creatures posed no immediate threat, but that might not be the case later.

Xia Qi looked at the swamp again; there were some insect eggs inside.

Xia Qi slashed with his sword, and a flame quickly erupted from the strike.

The flame continuously burned in the swamp until the insect eggs were incinerated, only then did he leave.

The others were confused by Xia Qi's actions, but being cautious was not wrong.

Within this dungeon, there was a group of monsters living in the swamp.

Although this was hell difficulty, there were many players here.

And each one was very strong; each was an outstanding individual among their peers.

These monsters were mere cannon fodder in front of such a group of people.

“Let’s go, let’s go deeper inside and see!”

Someone led everyone to continue exploring deeper into the dungeon, and everyone followed the main force closely.

Under the advance of the main force, the monsters on the outskirts of the dungeon were quickly eliminated.

There was no sign of Void Creatures here either; no one knew where they went.

This was a large-scale dungeon, capable of accommodating over a thousand people simultaneously.

This was only the outermost area; the monsters deeper inside would definitely be more numerous.

Currently, Xia Qi and the others dealt with them very easily.

But such aimless searching indeed yielded no special discoveries.

Continuing deeper into the dungeon, a group of snake-like lizards blocked their path.

These monsters were very strong, but under their skill bombardment, they couldn't be stopped at all.

In a short while, these monsters were eliminated.

Xia Qi felt something was very wrong; he hadn't found anything for a long time.

If the Void Realm had indeed tampered with the dungeon, it must be within this Hell Difficulty Dungeon.

Just like the Dragonkin Camp before, it was the same.

As the main force advanced, the monsters ahead became stronger and stronger.

Even they felt a bit strained.

In large-scale dungeons, it wasn't just that the monsters were stronger.

The dungeon map and the number of monsters were also very large.

This also meant that the consumption of people would be very high.

Under this consumption, dealing with monsters also became much more difficult.

Dozens of hours passed in a row, and this path seemed endless.

At each location, everyone would thoroughly check the vicinity.

Even if they couldn't investigate, they had to attack to ensure no Void Creatures were left behind.

This also slowed their speed considerably.

Originally, they should have cleared the dungeon in a dozen hours, but now they had only covered a little more than half the distance.

Under highly concentrated mental effort, many people also showed signs of fatigue.

The previous competition had already consumed a lot of their mental energy.

Now, they were directly in a dungeon for a dozen hours.

Who knew when the investigation would be complete.

Just then, someone saw a castle appearing ahead.

Rather than a castle, a nest would be more appropriate.

From such a distance, they could already see the monsters on the castle.

Huge, unknown creatures were coiled within the castle.

Upon seeing the target, everyone's spirits lifted.

Only Xia Qi's gaze was solemn.

In his eyes, besides the dungeon monsters, there were also a large number of Void Creatures in front of him.

And deep within the castle, there was a purple light.

Without a doubt, this thing did not belong to this dungeon at all, but was a masterpiece of the Void Realm.

The army of over a thousand people rapidly approached the castle.

Under their swift attacks, not a single monster could survive for three seconds.

As they got closer to the castle, the monsters in the castle also discovered their attack.

“Filthy bugs!”

A huge lizard was flying towards them.

It not only spoke human words but also had a pair of huge wings.

It spat out a stream of fire, attacking Xia Qi and the others.

Facing the attack, everyone quickly set up defenses.

Then, they counterattacked the huge lizard in the sky.

Arrows, bullets, even rocket launchers were present.

Thunder, flames, ice, various elements flew about.

Xia Qi took the opportunity to use a Phantom Sword on this giant lizard.

No one else noticed, only that a huge wound appeared on the lizard's body.

Soon, it was engulfed by everyone's skills.

Outside the castle, there was a river; to enter the castle, they had to cross this river.

Just as they approached the river, a strange sound suddenly came from the water.

A group of merfolk actually swam out of the river; their appearance was extremely ugly, but their attributes were not low.

They blocked the path of Xia Qi and the others, preventing them from entering the castle.

And from within the castle, an ear-piercing shriek emanated.
