The task force caught in the crisis

Lin Yuan threw all the equipment he had taken off to Sun Xu.

"Here, these pieces of equipment are for you."

"Thanks, Brother Lin!" Sun Xu laughed heartily, openly taking them into his hands.

Among the six gold equipment pieces dropped by the regular monsters,

Four were identical accessories,

The other two were weapons.

【Dim Magic Stone - Accessory】

【Quality: Gold】

【Equipment Requirement: LV15】

【Attributes: intelligence +25, mana points +500】

【Special Trait: Recovers 20% of maximum mana points after use, cooldown 5 minutes】

【Flame Breath Staff - Two-Handed Weapon】

【Quality: Gold】

【Equipment Requirement: LV15】

【Attributes: intelligence +25, magic strength +50】

【Special Trait: Flame spell casting speed increased by 5%】

【Flame Thorn - Dagger】

【Quality: Gold】

【Equipment Requirement: agility ≥120】

【Attributes: agility +30, attack power +70】

【Special Trait: Attacks inflict an additional 30 points of flame damage】

The accessories were very good,

They were general equipment for magic users,

And could fetch a good price.

The two weapons were also not bad.

The Flame Breath Staff's attributes weren't as good as the Level 10 Little Demon's Staff,

But it was still a Level 15 gold equipment,

Its price definitely wouldn't be low.

The Flame Thorn dagger was also a small top-tier item.

Lin Yuan still had the Venomous Bite in his possession.

If an Assassin equipped both daggers simultaneously,

The poisoning effect combined with flame damage,

Would significantly increase their output capability.

Lin Yuan gave one Dim Magic Stone to Ghost,

Kept one for himself,

Leaving two remaining.

He kept one to sell for money, and gave the other to Sun Xu.

"Brother Lin!" Sun Xu was extremely excited as he took the accessory.

"Xu has drifted through half his life, only regretting not meeting a wise lord. If my lord does not abandon me..."

"Get lost, you!" Lin Yuan cursed with a smile, "Speak properly."

"Thank you, Brother Lin, for the gold equipment!" Sun Xu chuckled, giving a thumbs-up.

"Brother Lin is generous!"

Lin Yuan glanced at the remaining time.

【Time remaining until restrictionRelease: 1 hour 18 minutes】

In less than 20 minutes, Lin Yuan had already cleared the Scholar's Library.

If efficiency was rated out of ten,

Lin Yuan would definitely get a perfect score.

【You have cleared the Scholar's Library, please select the next area to enter】

Left: Poisonous Laboratory

Middle: General's Corridor

"Brother Lin, which one should we choose?" Sun Xu asked.

"Besides the two of us, the pioneering team dispatched by the Professionals Association should have also entered."

"They should be in one of these areas."

"We're definitely going to run into them next."

"It doesn't matter." Lin Yuan walked into the Flame Cage where the BOSS had been, picking up a Red Crystal.

This crystal was the item that activated the Final Boss.

"As long as they don't get in the way, I don't mind letting them get some experience."

With that, Lin Yuan walked into the left teleportation gate.

Choosing any of them was the same.

It was just a different order of clearing.

As for the outcome,

It had no impact whatsoever.

Outside, when the right area darkened, Lin Yandong vigorously waved his fist.

"Excellent, the second area was cleared in only 17 minutes."

"At this rate, there's plenty of time."

Shen Zhong, who had just set up the defensive barrier, relaxed his expression upon hearing this.

"President Lin's Assault Team is still very reliable."

"If they succeed, they will be the heroes of Tianfeng City."

Luo Yushang, with her back to everyone, spoke in a cool voice that invigorated everyone.

"Successfully clearing the Regional Dungeon will reward each member of the Assault Team with one platinum equipment."

"The person with the highest contribution will receive an additional platinum equipment."

Upon hearing this, the Professionals who couldn't enter the Dungeon pounded their chests in frustration,

Because they had missed out on precious platinum equipment.

At this moment, inside the Dungeon,

In the second passage of the General's Corridor,

The Assault Team, on whom the outside world had placed high hopes, had just eliminated the last Iron-Armored Zombie in the passage.

"Phew!"

Zhao Xiong wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"These zombies are really tough to deal with."

"Fortunately, they're all dealt with."

"Everyone rest in place for five minutes. After resting, we'll head to the BOSS's area."

The 23 members of the Assault Team gathered together,

Adjusting their status to prepare for the upcoming BOSS battle.

"Captain, the drop rate in the Regional Dungeon is quite high. We haven't even seen the BOSS yet, and four gold equipment pieces have already dropped."

"The Final Boss must drop platinum equipment, right?"

Zhao Xiong laughed, "Of course."

"I've read a guide that says the Regional Dungeon's BOSS guarantees a platinum equipment drop."

"With good luck, it might even drop diamond-grade equipment."

"Diamond-grade!" a teammate exclaimed, "Oh my goodness, if a diamond equipment drops, wouldn't we be rich?"

"Who says no!"

Everyone discussed heatedly.

At the edge of the crowd,

A man wearing glasses heard their conversation,

And a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The man's name was Zhao Yang,

He was the backup arranged by Xiao Jun within the Assault Team.

Before entering the Dungeon,

Xiao Jun had given Zhao Yang a Dark Confinement Scroll.

The purpose was for Zhao Yang to find an opportunity to control all the members of the Assault Team,

Preventing them from successfully clearing the Dungeon.

From the moment they entered the Dungeon,

Zhao Yang had been looking for an opportunity to use the scroll.

However, even during their previous rests, someone was always on alert,

Which meant Zhao Yang never had a chance to cast the skill scroll.

At this moment,

Everyone was attracted by the diamond equipment Zhao Xiong mentioned,

And they were all concentrated in the same area.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Zhao Yang suddenly stood up,

And tore open the scroll in his hand.

"Zhao Yang, what are you doing!"

The Assault Team members were all elites, and there were no shortage of vigilant people.

Someone noticed Zhao Yang's abnormality and immediately shouted out.

But it was too late.

The scroll had already been activated.

Dark power converged into a purple orb,

Controlling all 22 members of the Assault Team.

"What's going on!" Zhao Xiong couldn't move his body and glared at Zhao Yang.

"Zhao Yang, what are you doing!"

"Quickly release us."

"Release you? Don't dream about it." Zhao Yang took off his glasses and chuckled lightly.

"I went to such great lengths, even using the Dark Confinement Scroll that Lord Xiao Jun gave me."

"How could I possibly release you so easily?"

"Dark Mage Xiao Jun!" Zhao Xiong's face changed drastically.

"You're from the Dark Knight Guild!"

"Good guess." Zhao Yang smiled smugly, "Too bad there's no prize."

"Why!"

"Why are you doing this!" Zhao Xiong didn't understand.

"The Dark Knight Guild is a bunch of madmen who only know destruction. Why would you join them?"

"Madmen, what a joke." Zhao Yang scoffed.

"The strong dominate the world, the weak become their vassals."

"What's wrong with that?"

Zhao Yang pointed to himself.

"Each of us has an A-grade Talent, and we should have enjoyed top-tier treatment."

"But every time there's a crisis, we're the ones on the front lines."

"Those weaklings contribute nothing yet comfortably enjoy everything."

"They don't deserve it at all!"

After venting his emotions, Zhao Yang smiled again.

"After today, things will be different. The entire Tianfeng City will cease to exist."

"Darkness will descend upon Blue Star!"
