21: Sirius Dungeon

“Quick, look, look! Someone is coming out!”

“Holy crap! 4 minutes and 45 seconds. What is the identity of these five people that they are actually so fierce?”

“If they work a little harder, they'll probably catch up to the fourth-place record.”

At the entrance of the Heavenly Wolf Dungeon, five players surrounded by treasure light walked out of the dungeon.

These five players didn't look very old, but each of them had a haughty gaze, and an air of arrogance radiated from their bodies.

The weapons held in their hands and the equipment on their bodies emitted a faint glow; equipment capable of emitting light is at least C-level or higher.

Among them, two players even had blue light flickering on their bodies, clearly indicating they had powerful equipment of A-level quality.

(C-level white, B-level green, A-level blue, S-level purple, SS-level orange, SSS-level gold)

The game names of these five players were: San Guo Xiao Yu, San Guo Ouchen, San Guo Xiaonaigou, Three Kingdoms Wushuang, and San Guo Yibao.

From the format of their game names, it was easy to tell that these five players all came from the top-tier faction, San Guo.

Listening to the overwhelming exclamations and praises from those around them, the five were very proud, and the male player named “Three Kingdoms Wushuang” let out a sigh, feigning regret.

“Sigh! We wasted too much time on the last boss just now, otherwise we could have been a few seconds faster!”

“The five of us all awakened sequences in the top 100; we should rightfully have a place on the leaderboard.”

Three Kingdoms Wushuang seemed to be lamenting, but in reality, he was showing off the high-level sequences the five of them had awakened in public.

When players awaken sequences, the higher the ranking of the sequence, the lower the probability of awakening; it is no exaggeration to say that the awakening probability of the top 100 sequences is one in a million.

After Three Kingdoms Wushuang finished speaking, shocked whispers immediately spread around, and gazes of envy and jealousy fell upon the five of them.

“I heard that San Guo recruited several high-sequence players today. Could it be these five people? Five top 100 sequences, this lineup is too overpowered.”

“The top four records for the Heavenly Wolf Dungeon haven't been broken in a long time; if these five people coordinate well, the chance is very, very high!”

“Yeah, the quality of the equipment on them is not low; it looks like they are determined to win.”

...

Players were entering and leaving the Heavenly Wolf Dungeon one after another; the clearance speed of ordinary players was generally around 5 minutes and 30 seconds, and those approaching 5 minutes were very rare.

The five players from San Guo were adjusting their state on the side, seemingly intending to challenge it again in a while.

Lin Du walked alone towards the entrance of the dungeon.

Beep—

A flash of red light passed under his feet, and then the mechanized voice of the dungeon system rang out.

[Dungeon challenger Night Ember lv.10 (one person), please confirm!]

Many people were paying attention to the situation at the dungeon entrance and exit. When the dungeon system's prompt sounded, a chorus of mocking voices immediately erupted around.

“Holy crap! This brother is only level 10, and he actually dares to solo the Heavenly Wolf Dungeon? Is he just throwing his life away like this?”

“Although the difficulty of the Heavenly Wolf Dungeon is relatively low, it's not something a level 10 player can solo. Look at the mask on his face; did he awaken the Sequence 999 Clown?”

“That's right! His outfit plus the clown mask is the standard set for the Clown Class. I guess no one was willing to team up with him, so he's just being suicidal, hahahaha!”

“I've really lived long enough to see everything; is he here to be a joke?”

While the surrounding audience was talking, the five players from San Guo walked towards the entrance.

Three Kingdoms Wushuang took the lead, walking with a dragon's gait and tiger's steps.

Wherever he passed, the players along the way retreated one after another, afraid of getting into trouble.

Three Kingdoms Wushuang smiled proudly, his head held high, his gaze falling on Lin Du.

“Move aside, that kid in front who is courting death, don't block my path!”

“If you delay me from breaking the record, I'll break your legs!”

Lin Du had already prepared to confirm entering the dungeon. After hearing the words of Three Kingdoms Wushuang, he stopped his actions and turned his head to look behind him.

The eyes of the clown mask rotated eerily, and the pair of pitch-black vortices in the eye sockets emitted a daunting, eerie light.

Lin Du curled his lips, the clown's razor-like, ghastly fangs looking ferocious and terrifying.

“Who did you just say you were going to break the legs of?”

Hiss—

Three Kingdoms Wushuang felt a tremor in his heart, frightened by this sudden, brutal expression.

After coming to his senses, he felt ashamed and angry, and his whole person instantly went berserk!

“You bastard, a clown actually dares to talk back to me. Have you never died before?”

“I'll finish you off today!”

After players reach level 10, they no longer have novice protection. The Heavenly Wolf Dungeon is in the suburbs of Yunlong City, where there are no rules and one can kill at will.

Without another word, Three Kingdoms Wushuang grabbed the blood-colored broadsword in his hand and slashed down towards Lin Du.

Three Kingdoms Wushuang indeed had the capital to be arrogant; he awakened the Sequence 98 Class Blood Blade Berserker. This class is incomparably fierce and violent, a great killing weapon for charging into battle.

Three Kingdoms Wushuang swept towards Lin Du like a blood-colored light, and an astonishing killing intent erupted from the B-level blood-colored broadsword.

“Bloodthirsty Combo Slash!”

In “universe ol”, if there is no deep hatred or grudge between players, they rarely take action against each other.

After all, everyone is here to earn “lifespan value” in order to survive.

Once they take action, it becomes a life-or-death situation.

Three Kingdoms Wushuang had awakened a high-level sequence and didn't put Lin Du in his eyes at all; he cared more about his own face!

Looking at the incoming Three Kingdoms Wushuang, the expression on Lin Du's face didn't change at all.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Lin Du slowly spat out two words.

“Confirm!”

Whoosh—

As the words fell, Lin Du's figure disappeared directly from the spot.

The surrounding players were dumbfounded, and Three Kingdoms Wushuang also froze in place, holding the blood-colored broadsword.

“Damn it! This bastard actually entered the dungeon?” Three Kingdoms Wushuang cursed angrily.

The only female player in the team, San Guo Xiao Yu, smiled, “Big brother, he can't escape. Let's also enter the dungeon. We'll wait for him outside after we come out later!”

“If he gets killed by the boss in the dungeon, then consider him lucky. If he doesn't die, then it's not too late for us to deal with him.”

In San Guo Xiao Yu's opinion, even if Lin Du was lucky enough not to die, it would take him at least ten minutes to complete the dungeon.

They might as well take this time to clear the dungeon first, and then come out to wait for Lin Du slowly...

Three Kingdoms Wushuang nodded.

“Okay, then we'll do as Xiao Yu says. Let's strive to break the fourth-place record this time, and then come out to kill that kid for entertainment.”

“You want to run after acting cool? Where is there such a cheap deal!”

Whoosh—

Whoosh, whoosh—

The five members of the San Guo team also entered the dungeon.

...

The Heavenly Wolf Dungeon has a total of three major stages; defeating the Wolf King in the third stage counts as completing the mission.

After entering the dungeon, Lin Du didn't rush to act, but instead observed the surrounding terrain and monster distribution.

A hundred meters away from him, there were no fewer than two hundred sturdy black wolves blocking the way to the next stage.

[Monster]: Desert Black Wolf (normal-level)

[Level]: 8

[Skills]: 1. Claw Tear, 2. Desert Bite

[Introduction]: Guardians of the first stage of the Heavenly Wolf Dungeon, fighting invaders to the death.

“Not bad, it's about the same as what was designed before.”

Looking at the dense pack of Desert Black Wolves opposite, the expression on Lin Du's face became increasingly relaxed.

“First level up, then go solve the trouble outside!”

Just now at the dungeon entrance, the levels and equipment of those few players from San Guo completely crushed Lin Du; going head-to-head with them was not the wisest move.

Moreover, there were so many people watching; if they fought in public, it would be equivalent to Lin Du completely falling out with San Guo.

After all, Lin Du's level is still low, and offending a behemoth like San Guo is unreasonable.

Since he is an assassin, he should use an assassin's way to solve the trouble!

Lin Du wanted to leave them baffled, and also wanted to ensure they couldn't grasp any leverage...

“Let's start!”

Lin Du moved his feet, and his body shot towards the distant wolf pack.

After changing his class to Death Clown, Lin Du's speed had a qualitative leap; his speed while moving was extremely fast.

The speed talent of the Death Clown is SSS-level, which is truly ceiling-level, and it is also the most top-tier existence among all 999 sequences.

Awoo—

Awoo, awoo—

After the wolf pack detected Lin Du's tracks, they immediately roared and sprinted towards Lin Du.

On the vast desert, the scene of two hundred sturdy Desert Black Wolves stampeding was very shocking.

Dust flew on the desert, sand and stones splashed, and the wolf pack swept over like a tornado.

Lin Du smiled. Seeing that the luring was successful, he immediately changed direction and sprinted in the opposite direction.

The IQ of the Desert Black Wolves is very low; in their consciousness, there is only one goal: to bite the invading enemy to death. Being lured by Lin Du like this, the Desert Black Wolf pack immediately followed closely in Lin Du's footsteps...

After pulling the Desert Black Wolves one kilometer away, Lin Du suddenly stopped his steps.

He turned around, holding a dagger in his hand, and rushed straight into the wolf pack.

“Ghost Blade Stabbing God Technique!”

With a loud shout, Lin Du directly unleashed the strongest SS-level skill of the Death Clown.

[Ghost Blade Stabbing God Technique: Increases player speed and strength value by 200%, turning into a ghost wandering the battlefield, capable of killing even gods]

[Duration: 5 minutes]

[Cooldown: 1 hour]

As the strongest ultimate skill of the Clown Artist, “Ghost Blade Stabbing God Technique” is a divine skill for assassins, possessing unimaginable, terrifying power.

Under the boost of the “Ghost Blade Stabbing God Technique”, the speed under Lin Du's feet skyrocketed again, and his figure shuttled through the wolf pack like a ghost meat grinder.

Whoosh—

Whoosh, whoosh—

Wherever Lin Du passed, the novice dagger in his hand acted like the Grim Reaper's scythe, separating the bodies and heads of the Desert Black Wolves one by one.

[Kill: Desert Black Wolf lv.8]

[Kill: Desert Black Wolf lv.8]

[Kill: Desert Black Wolf lv.8]

...

[Kill: Desert Black Wolf lv.8]

[Obtained: experience value + 521, lifespan value + 0.25 hours]

[Triggered heart of the goddess of luck, rewards doubled!!]

While killing the Desert Black Wolves, Lin Du had been counting in his heart.

After killing 30 Desert Black Wolves, Lin Du's figure turned into a black line, passing through the wolf pack and rushing straight towards the portal of the second stage.
