Yaksha, mental field
Lin Xiao hadn't expected that the method to find the Yaksha had been right beside him all along.
However, discovering it wasn't that simple.
Who would casually wear this thing on their face when it offered no stat bonuses?
If it had even a slight stat bonus, perhaps the Yaksha would have been found long ago, and they wouldn't have had to wait until now.
"I'll go in and take a look."
If his guess was correct, they should be surrounded by Yaksha right now, but for some special reason, these Yaksha couldn't attack them.
But as long as they put on the mask, the Yaksha would be able to directly interact with them.
"Let's go in together. That way, we can share some of the risk."
Brother Hui also picked up a mask, preparing to enter with Lin Xiao.
If they were truly surrounded by Yaksha as he claimed, Lin Xiao entering alone would certainly be extremely dangerous.
Having two people would help distract some of their attention.
"No need. You coming in with me would drag me down. If you really want to enter, wait three or four minutes first."
Lin Xiao said bluntly.
It wasn't that he was afraid Brother Hui would steal his experience, but that he was genuinely afraid he would die.
Forget about him being a Warrior; even a Guardian Class Professional might be instantly killed!
After spending these past few days together, he found Brother Hui to be a decent person. It would be a huge pity if he died here.
That was why he stopped him from entering.
"Actually, we could leave this place first, go to a relatively safe location, and then use the mask to enter. That would reduce a lot of the risk."
The Healer offered a suggestion.
Knowing that she could leave and wouldn't be trapped here forever, her condition gradually improved, and her emotions stabilized significantly.
Lin Xiao shook his head, "There's no need."
Time was short; he didn't have the time to run through this dungeon again.
"It's decided then."
Lin Xiao no longer hesitated. He picked up the White Robe Mask, paused, and then picked up a long robe as well.
His intuition told him that he needed to wear the complete set to potentially enter the Yaksha dungeon.
Donning the long robe and preparing to put on the mask, Lin Xiao suddenly recalled a passage from the book of white robes.
[We have become the Yaksha's rations...]
"It was hidden too deeply. Who would think of dressing themselves up as food and delivering themselves into the enemy's mouth?"
Lin Xiao sighed.
Wearing the long robe and mask made him a member of the Church, perfectly corresponding to that sentence in the book.
"Yaksha, your food has come for you. I hope you don't choke."
Lin Xiao fastened the mask onto his face. The next instant, ripples spread around him.
[Successfully entered the Church's Spiritual Domain. This place is extremely dangerous. It is recommended to leave immediately!]
The warning flashed past. Before Lin Xiao could clearly see what the Yaksha looked like, he felt heavy breathing hitting him, as if they were waiting for the delicious food that had finally arrived in their mouths.
The moment Lin Xiao appeared, the impatient Yaksha immediately launched their attack, eager to grab the first piece of flesh from Lin Xiao's body.
Clang—————
The instant they launched their attack, the Death Knight flashed out, blocking their offensive with his long spear!
It was the talent effect of the Oath of Darkness!
However, even with the Death Knight, it was difficult to withstand the siege of such a massive number of Yaksha, especially since they had been waiting at Lin Xiao's location.
Thus, while the Death Knight repelled the first wave of Yaksha attacks, the remaining Yaksha pounced on Lin Xiao like hungry wolves, instantly submerging him.
His body was constantly being bitten. Lin Xiao experienced what it felt like to be eaten.
But he wasn't panicked; he remained calm and collected.
Boom————
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, and the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder struck Lin Xiao's position directly.
The feeding Yaksha were instantly shocked numb all over and froze rigidly in place.
The Goblin Chieftain was summoned and immediately called forth five of his clansmen.
Two Goblin Warriors, a Shield Bearer, and the Goblin Priest began harvesting the Yaksha whose health was already low.
[Successfully killed a Yaksha. EXP +20,000 (Double)!]

The Slime appeared next. Seeing its master covered in bite marks and wounds, it quickly cast a Healing Spell.
"No need for healing. Let's slaughter these beasts first."
Lin Xiao interrupted the Slime's healing.
With the recovery ability of the Grass Set, the Slime's Healing Spell was completely unnecessary.
Moreover, the recent round of biting by the Yaksha had only cost him 80,000 HP.
Upon hearing this, the Slime immediately threw itself into the battlefield, launching a barrage of magic like cannonballs at the Yaksha swarm.
But combined with the Death Knight's Killing Intent Fluctuation and the Goblin Chieftain's Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, a single spell could wipe out a large number of Yaksha.
The defense line gradually stabilized. Lin Xiao looked around. Just as he had expected, he was surrounded by a swarm of Yaksha waiting for them to enter.
From here, he could see Brother Hui and the other two. They were also among the Yaksha swarm, and the Yaksha were looking at them with drooling anticipation.
However, they existed like phantoms—visible but untouchable.

It had a ferocious face, long horns on its head, dark blue skin, and extended exoskeletons on its elbows. The extended exoskeleton was sharp as a blade, giving the impression that it could cut through iron like mud.
Lin Xiao looked towards an open area. Before he had even entered the Church's Spiritual Domain, he had felt an intense gaze.
If he wasn't mistaken... "Not coming out yet? Waiting to use your cannon fodder to wear me down?" Lin Xiao sneered.
By killing a large number of Yaksha, the Death Knight's stats were constantly increasing. Give him a little more time, and he could instantly kill the BOSS here!
"Human, you are the first person to sense my gaze!"
A white light shot into the sky, and a burly figure with red hair leaped out.
It was three or four times larger than a normal Yaksha, with highly developed muscles. The exoskeleton on its elbows was sharp as a razor, and it stood upright like a kangaroo, looking as if it could leap in front of you instantly.
[Yaksha King (BOSS)]
[Level: 25]

[Skills: Venuss Blessing, Iron Bone Slash, Eye of Spirit, Burst Impact...]
It truly was the BOSS.
Lin Xiao was not surprised.
"How many years has it been since I became this way? Finally, someone discovered this place and entered!"
"Since becoming Lotes's lackey and being trapped here by the people of the Church, it's been a long time since I tasted human flesh."
"Today, my wish is finally granted!"
