29: Military news: Demons are attacking the city

“Delete account?”

Bai Shuya and the others were all stunned.

Xia Mo massaged her forehead, “Please, I know Demon Lord is very powerful, but is this difficulty really necessary?”

Yan Yan didn’t care.

But her gaze turned to Bai Shuya.

“Big White Bear’s account also has a significant investment; you need to be careful later.”

Lin Ye just smiled calmly.

“It’s fine; you’ll see soon.”

“Now for the precautions.”

“Look at the terrain underfoot; those pitted and uneven places are space-time turbulence. I haven’t stepped on them, but I estimate stepping on them means certain death.”

“Secondly, don’t touch any monsters. Just follow me.”

space-time turbulence?

Bai Shuya felt like her several months of gaming were wasted.

Forget seeing it.

She hadn’t even heard of such terrifying terrain.

Xia Mo no longer dared to act tough; her hand gripping her weapon was a little tense.

The pressure was immense.

One wrong step, and the account would be gone.

How could they fight under such circumstances?

Demon Lord?

Just how abnormal was he?

He cleared this dungeon alone?

“Wait!”

“You’ve cleared this dungeon on the highest difficulty?”

Lin Ye, “Yes, is there a problem?”

Uh...

Xia Mo was already stunned, almost shouting, “Is there a problem? It’s… it’s abnormal! You have an SSS-rank talent, and you dare to challenge a delete-account level difficulty? Aren’t you afraid… aren’t you afraid of an accident?”

Thump!

Bai Shuya and Yan Yan’s hearts trembled instantly.

Just now.

He cleared this dungeon, where one wrong step would lead to instant death, alone, under the pressure of a delete-account level highest difficulty?

This wasn’t even a question of whether he was strong or not.

It was…

It was…

How much courage does one need to challenge something like that?

And how firm a mindset does one need to not cramp up, not get confused, and not make mistakes under such immense pressure?

Anyone who has played games knows.

No one can maintain perfect control under heavy pressure.

If you’ve seen such a person, it’s probably just because they haven’t encountered true pressure.

As long as one is human, it’s difficult to resist this kind of pressure.

An SSS talent.

How important was that?

Just thinking about it was unbearable.

Bai Shuya shook her head repeatedly, “No, no, I definitely wouldn’t dare to challenge it. If my account really got deleted, I’d cry myself to death…”

Honestly.

Lin Ye agreed.

Actually, if he hadn’t accidentally stepped in, who would challenge such a quest!

It was much better now.

At least he had a spring armor on, so even for a quest of the same difficulty, he had the confidence to challenge it.

“Let’s go. Make sure to follow closely. Once we get past this section, there will be no more danger.”

Lin Ye knew there were no monsters on this path, only terrain issues.

As the group started moving.

They heard a sound.

[System Announcement!]

[Ex has completed a legendary quest and opened the dungeon, Tyrant’s Ruin!]

Bai Shuya’s expression changed.

“So fast?”

Lin Ye didn’t understand what she was surprised about, “They’ve been in the game for so long; they must have been prepared. It’s quite normal for them to be able to enter as soon as the dungeon function opens, right?”

Bai Shuya shook her head with a serious expression.

“No, after you opened the dungeon yesterday, many group chats exploded.”

“Blood War Rivers and Mountains declared that they must be the first to clear a dungeon.”

Lin Ye frowned slightly:

“Blood War Rivers and Mountains, I’ve heard of them, but I don’t feel like their ranking is very high.”

Yan Yan reached out and tugged him from the side, “This is a military guild. They are usually very low-key, but their strength is incredibly formidable. The resources they control and the combat power of their personnel are simply incomparable to ordinary guilds and corporations.”

“Their declaration is actually an implicit struggle against foreign powers.”

“Great Beautiful Country, Sakura, Europa, and also South Korea next door, are all competing within eternal, and they seem to have inside information about the rewards for the first dungeon clear.”

Bai Shuya added:

“Sublime Legion, one of the nine major guilds in North America. Their leader, the blond Ex, is a billionaire and the CEO of one of the seven major tech giants in reality.”

“The Beautiful Country has invested heavily in this eternal transformation, and coupled with their inherent advantages, once they seize all the initiative, everyone else will only be able to live at their mercy.”

As they were talking, another prompt popped up.

[System Announcement!]

[Great Qin Iron Cavalry has completed a legendary quest and opened the dungeon, Empire’s Demise!]

Upon hearing this, Bai Shuya’s brow finally relaxed slightly.

“This is the guild leader of Blood War Rivers and Mountains. He’s said to be a military big shot, a legendary soldier king.”

Lin Ye wasn’t very interested in these things, but he was very interested in the dungeon rewards.

“Never mind them, we’ll just clear our own dungeon.”

Beep beep!

Bai Shuya’s communication device rang. Just by glancing at the name, her brow furrowed again.

After connecting.

She was surprised for a few seconds, then leaned into Lin Ye’s ear, “Great Qin Iron Cavalry, the one from just now. I don’t know how he knew I knew you, but he specifically asked for you. Should I answer?”

Lin Ye remembered the military vehicles he saw this morning and knew he couldn’t avoid it, “Answer it.”

Bai Shuya put it on speakerphone.

“Demon Lord, I am Great Qin Iron Cavalry. Today, I don’t represent anyone; I just want to chat with you for a bit. You wouldn’t mind, would you?”

“I’m not busy right now; go ahead.”

“Have you tried the Forgotten Land dungeon? How’s the difficulty?”

“It’s alright.”

Great Qin Iron Cavalry paused, then laughed heartily, “Alright means passable! I’m approaching you in a personal capacity today. The military side has their own matters; I don’t care about them. I just want to know if you can complete the first dungeon clear before North America.”

Lin Ye pondered for a moment, “From what you’re saying, it seems you’re certain you can’t clear the dungeon that just opened, right?”

Hahaha~

Great Qin Iron Cavalry laughed heartily, “I can definitely clear it; I’ll give it my all, but time isn’t on our side. According to intelligence, Ex’s dungeon seems to be an exploration type, with slightly lower difficulty.”

“Whereas our dungeon is a combat type, and the most difficult battlefield type. Although it’s our specialty, in terms of clear time, we truly don’t have an advantage.”

“We are all descendants of Yan and Huang. If anyone has the ability to clear it, then clear it first. At the very least, don’t let the rewards fall into the hands of outsiders for nothing.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Ye thought of his own dungeon, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

“The difficulty of exploration quests isn’t necessarily low. Who wins or loses? How can you know without fighting?”

Hmm?

Great Qin Iron Cavalry was slightly startled, then let out a roar:

“Good!”

“Your personality is absolutely suitable for being a soldier!”

“Hahaha, since we’re getting along well, let me say a few more words, old brother. The minimum difficulty to obtain the first clear reward is Hard or above. The rest is up to you.”

Lin Ye thanked him and hung up the communication.

The other party was unexpectedly direct, but it also indirectly reflected something.

Different dungeons have vastly different difficulties.

Opening is one thing.

But whether they can clear it is another matter entirely.

The Empire’s Demise dungeon they opened, just by its name, suggested it was significantly harder than an exploration of ruins.

“Hmm?”

Lin Ye seemed to have discovered something and refocused his gaze on the distance.

Under the faint starlight, shadowy figures moved through, their numbers so exaggerated that it was almost hair-raising.

Upon closer inspection.

The monsters within the shadows were over three meters tall, had human-like forms, but possessed two horns on their heads, bodies covered in dark scales, and eyes as red as blood.

[Lesser Demon]

Level: 50

Health: 30000

Physical Attack: 3600, Magic Damage: 0

Defense: 2200, Magic Resistance: 1100

......

“So Little Doudou was right; there really are demons!”

“But why haven’t the monsters discovered us?”

As Lin Ye spoke, his gaze followed the direction of the shadows, and his heart suddenly trembled.

“Oh no!”

“Demon siege?!”
