40: So this is called brushing the copy!

Dark, obscure, heavy...

Just by entering the nightmare difficulty Zombie Mine, Yun Qingyue was so overwhelmed by the immense aura that she could barely breathe.

Compared to the normal difficulty dungeon, the nightmare difficulty dungeon, which was several levels higher, was clearly much more powerful.

Looking at the zombies exuding a terrifying aura not far away, she couldn't help but feel her legs go soft.

If she were in a full state, she might still have the strength to fight, but with her stamina at rock bottom, plus the high pressure of the environment, if Xia Qi hadn't been by her side, she would have immediately wanted to go home.

“Don’t be afraid, just follow behind me.”

Noticing Yun Qingyue’s poor state, Xia Qi didn't mock her, but rather offered a gentle comfort.

It was precisely because of Xia Qi that Yun Qingyue’s somewhat pale complexion returned to normal, and she cast an Insight spell.

After seeing the attributes, Yun Qingyue finally understood that the monsters in nightmare difficulty and normal difficulty were simply poles apart.

“Xia Qi, did you make a mistake? This is nightmare difficulty...”

Yun Qingyue clutched her chest, the immense pressure making it difficult for her to breathe.

“No mistake, I always enter nightmare difficulty.”

Xia Qi threw out a sentence and was the first to step out of the light circle.

“No, Xia Qi, you’ll die.”

“Let’s exit and re-enter, don’t be impulsive.”

Yun Qingyue didn't think Xia Qi could solo a nightmare difficulty dungeon; she just thought men loved to boast in front of women for the sake of Face.

After all, she also had S-Rank Talent, and she could clearly feel that the nightmare difficulty dungeon was not a dungeon Rank she could handle at her current level.

Even if Xia Qi’s Lightning element was strong in the early stages, it couldn’t be much stronger than hers.

Even two S-Rank Talents would find it difficult to clear a nightmare difficulty dungeon, let alone her current state.

However, Xia Qi didn't respond to Yun Qingyue's words, nor did he care about Yun Qingyue's feelings at that moment.

Thunder Breathing unfolded, a mouthful of Qi was exhaled, and the staff in his hand burst forth with dazzling light.

With a raised hand, a Frenzy Lightning descended from the sky, carrying astonishing power, and heavily struck the Copper Skin Zombie.

In an instant, the Copper Skin Zombie fell to the ground, dead.

“What?”

Yun Qingyue leaned against the wall, momentarily unable to react.

Xia Qi’s movements just now were too fast; they were so fast that she couldn’t even clearly see the killing process. She just heard a thunderclap, and the terrifying Iron Skin Zombie was instantly killed.

There was only one such zombie at the entrance of the light circle. After Xia Qi dealt with the monster, Yun Qingyue was still frozen in place, not knowing what to say.

“Let’s go, follow me.”

“Oh, oh, I’m coming.”

After the threat of death was eliminated, Yun Qingyue could finally walk normally. She leaned against the wall and walked out of the light circle.

“Xia Qi, how did you do that just now?”

Yun Qingyue asked, taking deep breaths and full of doubt.

“I just did it normally.”

Xia Qi said helplessly.

What does “did it normally” mean?

Yun Qingyue was even more confused. Even if Xia Qi’s Rank was a few levels higher than hers, the power of his skills couldn't be that much different, could it?

As fellow S-Rank Talents, shouldn’t the gap be that big?

Yun Qingyue even felt as if she had Awakened a fake S-Rank Talent.

“Can you still run?”

“I think so.”

“Good then, keep up with me.”

After saying that, Xia Qi immediately started running, which stunned Yun Qingyue. What kind of operation was this?

However, thinking about how Xia Qi had just instantly killed a monster, Yun Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then immediately followed behind Xia Qi.

“Come on, don’t get too far from me.”

When pulling monsters, one must also be careful to maintain distance. If Yun Qingyue didn't keep up, she could easily fall into a monster encirclement.

It would be very troublesome to rescue her then.

“I can definitely keep up with you.”

Fire element is definitely not as fast as lightning element; this is beyond doubt.

However, Yun Qingyue had “money power,” and her family had given her quite a few items.

A whirlwind rose from under her feet, her speed suddenly increased, and she followed unhurriedly within two meters behind Xia Qi.

“Not bad.”

Xia Qi praised, this way, it wouldn’t affect the efficiency of monster grinding.

And so, the following scene unfolded.

A man and a woman ran one after another, with a massive zombie horde following behind them, constantly running through the mine.

Xia Qi ran at the very front, followed by Yun Qingyue, and finally, a large group of roaring zombies.

“Xia Qi, what are you doing? Are you sure nothing will go wrong?”

Yun Qingyue followed closely behind Xia Qi, looking at the visibly growing horde of corpses. It was impossible not to be scared.

Xia Qi kept his attention on the distance of the monsters and wasn't in the mood to keep answering Yun Qingyue's questions.

Many times, questions only lead to more questions. Instead of explaining so much, it's better to directly show the answer through action.

So Xia Qi didn't pay attention to Yun Qingyue, only occasionally reminding her to maintain distance and not to leave the group.

After running for about ten minutes, through various intricate tunnels, Xia Qi finally successfully led all the monsters to the location of the Iron Skin Zombie.

The nightmare difficulty Iron Skin Zombie looked much more formidable than the normal difficulty Iron Skin Zombie. Yun Qingyue merely caught a glimpse of the Iron Skin Zombie's appearance through Xia Qi's body, and a strong sense of dread already crept into her heart.

She didn't even need to cast Insight to know that this Iron Skin Zombie was definitely terrifying.

As the saying goes, enemies meet with blazing eyes.

Just seeing Xia Qi, the Iron Skin Zombie went mad and charged forward with a powerful Iron Mountain Lean.

For a moment, rocks fell everywhere in the mine, the ground shook, and roars were incessant.

“Oh my goodness, if that hit, I would really be shattered to pieces.”

Yun Qingyue's eyes were filled with horror. That heavy impact, like a collision with a heavy truck, would break at least a few bones even if she was just grazed.

“Watch out and dodge, don’t get distracted!”

Xia Qi reminded her with a serious expression.

At a critical moment, Yun Qingyue couldn't be allowed to disrupt his plan.

Fortunately, with no major mishaps, all the monsters on the upper level of the mine were gathered. Not far from the staircase entrance, Xia Qi finally stopped.

Without waiting for Yun Qingyue to speak, he turned back and rushed into the massive horde of countless zombies.

The next second, Nine Heavens Thunderclap was fully unleashed!

Boom!

Under Yun Qingyue’s terrified gaze, thousands of lightning bolts drew a prison on the ground, encompassing every single monster without missing one.

Experience points rapidly increased, and various notifications rang out incessantly.

In just a few breaths, or the time it took to catch her breath, Yun Qingyue personally witnessed her experience increase by thirty percent.

Yun Qingyue was completely dumbfounded; she had never imagined that a dungeon could be cleared this way!

Boom!

Boom!

Continuous roars and explosions rang out within the zombie horde.

One zombie after another wailed and fell.

Even the Iron Skin Zombie, which was terrifying in Yun Qingyue's eyes, couldn't last a few more seconds, falling heavily to the ground, dying with unclosed eyes.

“Dead, all dead!”

In an instant, Yun Qingyue was completely petrified on the spot.
