50: Lin Du's sense of superiority

In front of the Bronze Gate, Ning Fengya stood with her hands behind her back, like a white-robed immortal banished from the heavens.

There was a vacuum zone around her; no player dared to approach due to her powerful aura.

Ning Fengya stared at the Bronze Gate, her brows furrowing unconsciously.

"They've been in there for so long, why aren't they out yet?"

"A Clown Class practitioner daring to trespass into an instance of this level deserves a lesson to remember!"

Not far away, Ning Fengnian walked over.

"Fengya, are you here for the sword technique in Night Ember's possession?"

Ning Fengya nodded expressionlessly.

Ning Fengnian said, "Sequence 999 Clown is ultimately too weak. That Night Ember was just a flash in the pan; he's not worth recruiting. Dad probably misjudged him this time."

Ning Fengya didn't speak, but she already agreed with Ning Fengnian's opinion.

A player who dares to trespass into the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance would definitely not be a rational player; no proper player would joke with their own life.

Lin Du's awakened class is not good, and if his temperament is also lacking, then he will be useless to Rule the World.

Recruiting such a player would be a pure waste of resources... Ning Fengya and her brother's simple conversation was heard clearly by Zhao Yunsou, who was not far away.

When he learned that Ning Fengya was here for the "Emperors Heart Sword" this time, a hint of mockery appeared on Zhao Yunsou's face.

"You stinking wench, you still want the sword technique? Dream on!"

"What you want, I'll deliberately not give you. When it comes to financial power, the Zhao Family has never been afraid of anyone."

Zhao Yunsou had originally given up on Lin Du, but at this moment, the thought of recruiting Lin Du stirred in his heart again.

For no other reason than to vent his anger!

To infuriate Ning Fengya!

...In the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance, Lin Du successfully reached the fourth underground level.

The space on the fourth underground level was somewhat different from the first three, with twelve small mountains formed by mechanical ruins piled up here.

On each of the twelve ruined mountains, twelve different figures stood silently, one on each mountain.

These figures were all mechanical monsters, but their appearances and forms were completely different.

Some resembled roosters, some resembled domestic pigs, some resembled fierce tigers, some resembled divine dragons... The twelve monsters corresponded to the traditional twelve Chinese zodiac animals!

Each of these twelve Chinese zodiac monsters possessed an aura no weaker than that of a Mechanical Half-Dragon Warrior; clearly, these were King-rank Monsters.

Monster: Mechanical Zodiac Rooster (King-rank)

Level: 14

Description: One of the Mechanical Twelve Zodiac Animals, possesses super strong sonic attacks that can cause creatures to lose their will to fight.

Twelve King-rank Monsters serving as regular monsters on the fourth level—this lineup was truly terrifying.

At this level, basically 80% of players would have to stop; going further would mean facing the risk of death... Lin Du's sudden appearance immediately attracted the attention of the twelve monsters.

Roar—

Woof woof—

Roar—

The twelve King-rank Monsters roared and charged towards Lin Du.

The difficulty of each level in the Qin Kings Underground Palace Instance was increasing; being stared down by twelve King-rank Monsters, some timid players might even faint from fear.

Lin Du stretched his wrists and focused his gaze on the Zodiac Rooster and Zodiac Snake.

These two monsters belonged to the long-range psychic + control type; if they weren't dealt with first, it would greatly delay the efficiency of killing monsters later... "Let's begin!"

Lin Du moved, and the mechanical monsters opposite him also began to attack.

Facing the encirclement of many monsters, finding cover was very necessary, and no one was more suitable for this job than the clumsy Zodiac Pig.

Lin Du gently stepped his foot and darted towards the Zodiac Pig not far away.

As Lin Du moved, the monsters also moved, and powerful and terrifying attacks struck directly... The Zodiac Pig bared its wide mouth, its four hooves pawing the ground, and charged with a barbaric ram.

"Good timing!"

Lin Du let out a soft cry, his body twisting into a strange arc in mid-air.

The Zodiac Pig's immensely powerful charge just grazed Lin Du's clothes and slammed into the rear.

Bang—

Bang bang bang—

The distance was too, too close. The Zodiac Pig's massive body didn't hit Lin Du; instead, it helped Lin Du block several attacks.

Under the attacks of several other monsters, the thick-skinned Zodiac Pig was sent flying backward in a sorry state.

The battle happened in a flash!

This brief moment had already created a perfect opportunity for Lin Du.

Lin Du, swift as a ghost, darted to the sides of the Zodiac Rooster and Zodiac Snake.

Before the two great monsters could react, the silver charm blade fiercely pierced into their hearts... [Killed Mechanical Zodiac Rooster Lv.14]

[Obtained: Experience +57417, lifespan value +21 hours]

[Killed Mechanical Zodiac Snake Lv.14]

[Obtained: Experience +49477, lifespan value +19.5 hours]

Clang—

Two blue chests dropped beside the bodies of the Zodiac Rooster and Zodiac Snake.

Two A-rank pieces of equipment obtained!

The Zodiac Rooster and Zodiac Snake died too quickly; they didn't even manage to launch an attack before their deaths... Lin Du leveled up to 15 in the instance, but the monsters in the instance were still at level 14, which was a considerable advantage.

After dealing with the two control-type monsters, the remaining ten monsters could attack indiscriminately.

Lin Du went all out, prioritizing killing the high-damage dealers first!

[Killed Mechanical Zodiac Dragon Lv.14]

[Killed Mechanical Zodiac Tiger Lv.14]

[Killed Mechanical Zodiac Monkey Lv.14]

[Obtained: Experience +49787, lifespan value +18.5 hours]

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

...One by one, the monsters fell under the silver charm blade. Lin Du's top-tier speed talent allowed him to move freely and do as he pleased among the many King-rank Monsters.

Every monster that fell dropped a blue treasure chest.

With the blessing of the heart of the goddess of luck, Lin Du's experience quickly reached 96% of level 15.

Thump—

Finally, the meritorious Zodiac Pig also fell... [Killed Mechanical Zodiac Pig Lv.14]

[Obtained: Experience +46222, lifespan value +18.2 hours]

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

Whoosh—

A golden light flashed around Lin Du's body, and his level successfully increased to 16.

Although dealing with the twelve Zodiac monsters took some time, as King-rank Monsters, the experience points were very plentiful.

Without the obstruction of the twelve Zodiac animals, Lin Du headed straight for the boss of the fourth level.

En route.

Lin Du glanced at the system time, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved into an unconscious smile.

"Playing a race against time with a cheater?"

"You're all still far behind!"
