Join up with the assault team

【Kill Zombie Alchemist (LV20), Experience Points +28000】

As Lin Yuan expected, the BOSS dropped two pieces of Platinum equipment.

【Alchemist Shorts - Legwear】

【Quality: Platinum】

【Equip Requirement: Stamina ≥ 300】

【Attributes: Stamina +50, HP +1200】

【Special Effect: Recover 30 HP per second, healing effects received increased by 20%】

【Excellent Gas Mask - Headgear】

【Quality: Platinum】

【Equip Requirement: LV15】

【Attributes: Stamina +30, HP +600】

【Special Effect: Poison Resistance +5, reduce poison probability by 30%】

Both pieces of equipment were defensive gear that Shield Warriors and Protection Paladins dream of.

Lin Yuan didn't mind and equipped them directly.

Now, Lin Yuan's equipment was considered complete.

He took a look at his HP—whoa, 28,000. A super blood tank.

The captain of the neighboring Assault Team, Zhao Xiong, a level 20 Shield Warrior with full stamina allocation and a full set of Gold equipment, only had a little over 10,000 HP even with all buffs applied.

The gap—a stark, naked gap.

Picking up the greenish Poison Crystal from the ground, the Teleportation Gate leading to the General's Corridor appeared before Lin Yuan.

【Time remaining until limit is lifted: 1 hour 8 minutes】

The moment Lin Yuan stepped into the Teleportation Gate, everyone outside cheered, "They succeeded, they succeeded."

"There is only one area left!"

Luo Yushang couldn't help but nod. The Professionals Association of Tianfeng City really had some substance; to clear three areas in less than an hour, these people, plus Lin Yuan, should be able to defeat the final BOSS.

...

General's Corridor. Lin Yuan and Sun Xu were heading towards the second passage.

"Brother Lin, do you think what that Alchemist Gawain said was true or false?" Sun Xu asked curiously.

"Who cares if it's true or false." Lin Yuan shrugged. "He's already dead anyway."

"Brother Lin, do you think he was a good person or a bad person?" Sun Xu asked again.

"He must be a good person." Lin Yuan replied without hesitation. "He gave us quests and dropped gear for us. If he isn't a good person, then who is?"

"Uh..." Sun Xu thought about it; it seemed that was the case.

"Yeah, a good person, a really big good person."

The two of them walked through the first passage as if no one else was around and entered the second passage.

"Brother Lin, we haven't encountered a single zombie along the way. It seems the Assault Team must have entered here," Sun Xu reminded him.

"What should we do if they are fighting the BOSS in a moment?"

"We watch, what else can we do?" Lin Yuan pursed his lips. "Snatching a BOSS isn't very honorable."

"They arrived first, we arrived later. Besides, I've already killed three BOSSes; one more doesn't make a difference."

Sun Xu thought for a moment. "Brother Lin, I don't think these people in the Assault Team can take down the BOSS."

"Brother Lin, you've already cleared three areas, and they are still here. What does that tell you?"

"It means their strength is just average."

"Maybe they haven't even seen the BOSS yet."

After Sun Xu's analysis, Lin Yuan also felt that such a situation was very likely.

The monster stats in a Regional Dungeon are ten times those of a normal Dungeon. He could speed-run other areas because he was "cheating" and strong, but others couldn't. Even if they assembled 23 level 20 Professionals, they might not be able to kill the BOSS.

After figuring this out, Lin Yuan sat on the Bone Throne and issued an order: "Then what are we waiting for? Full speed ahead."

Ghost let out a cackling laugh and pulled the reins hard, pushing the speed to the limit. The Bone Throne hovered in mid-air, carrying Lin Yuan forward slowly, like an emperor inspecting his realm.

Still some distance from the end of the passage, Lin Yuan heard many people cursing.

"Zhao Yang, you son of a b*tch, kill me if you have the guts."

"You traitor, you definitely won't have a good end."

"Fight me one-on-one if you dare, coward."

The Assault Team members started cursing collectively, using every dirty word they knew and trying every provocation tactic, but it was completely useless.

Zhao Yang just sneered where he stood. "Scream, keep screaming."

"Do you know what you look like right now?"

"Mad dogs."

"A bunch of mad dogs that only know how to bark."

"There is only one hour left. You are trapped here and it is impossible for you to clear the Regional Dungeon."

"When the Dungeon limit is lifted, Lord Xiao Jun will activate the sacrificial array. By then, Tianfeng City will become a thing of the past."

"And you don't even have the qualifications to witness it with your own eyes."

Lin Yuan and Sun Xu heard the conversation between the two sides clearly. Sun Xu immediately reacted: "Brother Lin, there's a traitor."

"I heard it." Lin Yuan rested his chin on his hand, thinking. "I felt that the appearance of the Regional Dungeon was strange; it turns out someone is pulling strings behind the scenes."

"This person's real target is Tianfeng City."

"Tianfeng City!" Sun Xu gasped. "The person behind this has quite an appetite; aren't they afraid of choking to death?"

"Brother Lin, what should we do now?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yuan's mouth. "Of course, we disrupt their plans."

"I want to see who can stop me from clearing the Dungeon."

After a brief pause, the army continued to move forward. Tap, tap, tap, tap.

Ghost rode out from around the corner on a skeleton horse, followed by a large swarm of skeletons.

The Assault Team members and Zhao Yang fell silent simultaneously and turned to look in Ghost's direction.

"Skeletons?" Zhao Yang was puzzled. "How could there be skeletons here?"

The members of the Assault Team were also struggling to understand. They had clearly cleared all the monsters behind them, so where did these skeletons come from? It couldn't possibly be that someone summoned them, could it?

Just as everyone was confused, Lin Yuan's figure appeared from around the corner.

Lin Yuan was leaning against the Bone Throne, his eyes casually sweeping over Zhao Yang and the members of the Assault Team.

Thousands of undead were prostrate at his feet. A Li stood with a sword to the lower left of Lin Yuan, like a loyal guard.

With his mysterious temperament and powerful aura, for a moment, everyone suspected that the person appearing before them was the final BOSS behind this Dungeon.

"People from the Professionals Association?" Lin Yuan asked.

Hearing Lin Yuan speak, Zhao Xiong came back to his senses, his face full of joy.

"Yes, we are the Assault Team sent by the Professionals Association."

"This guy is a traitor; he wants to stop us from clearing the BOSS."

"Please, sir, you must capture him and make him lift the binding spell on us."

Zhao Xiong wasn't stupid. He couldn't even dream of an entrance as stylish as Lin Yuan's. Someone who could make an entrance in this way must have strength far beyond his comprehension. Therefore, Zhao Xiong lowered his posture and begged Lin Yuan to help them get rescued from their binding status.

"Actually, you should thank him." Lin Yuan pointed at Zhao Yang and said to the people of the Assault Team, "If he hadn't bound you here, you would have already been wiped out by now."
