177: Level 80 hidden copy, the ancient ruins of the demon world!

Ding! Your level has increased from 74th level to 75th level. HP +200, MP +100, Strength, Agility, Intelligence, Constitution +2, Free Attribute Points +6!

Ding! The Skill - Lexical Entry Assignment talent has taken effect, granting you the Gold-tier Lexical Entry Effect Amplification!

Effect Amplification: Gold Quality

Effect Description: Increases the duration of special effects by 200%, including but not limited to (Freezing, Damage over Time, Invincibility, various buffs, Rooting...).

“Effect Amplification... Should I give it to the Poison Tornado or Void Escape?”

Chen Beixuan stroked his chin and finally decided to give it to Void Escape.

As an old skill that had been with him for so long, it deserved to be favored at least once...

A golden light flashed, and the assignment was complete. The 7-second duration became 21 seconds, which was enough for him to wander around for a while.

Closing the panel, Chen Beixuan twisted his head to look around.

The massive city, ravaged by his storm-like destruction, revealed its foundations, with almost no intact buildings.

The demons within either died or fled.

Another city annihilated...

As his level increased, the experience required also grew.

With the wild monsters being close to his own level,

a city of twenty to thirty thousand people only allowed him to level up by two levels.

Oh, right, Myriad Realms Kun and Xiao Lu also took a portion.

Summoning Myriad Realms Kun to land, Xiao Lu, hugging a pink fennec fox, ran up to him, her small face excitedly saying,

“Grandpa, the fennec fox and I are good friends now!”

She held up the fennec fox, wanting to share the good news with Chen Beixuan.

Chen Beixuan smiled at the sight.

When they first returned, the fennec fox was still a bit shy, but now it was much more affectionate with Xiao Lu.

As they spoke,

the fennec fox suddenly jumped down and bowed its head to Xiao Lu, even bumping her small hand with its head.

Chen Beixuan knew that the fennec fox wanted to sign a contract with Xiao Lu, acknowledging her.

However, the fact that the fox also knew to come before him to sign the contract made him chuckle in amusement.

“Xiao Lu, you do this... then that...”

With Chen Beixuan’s help, Xiao Lu successfully signed a contract with the pink fennec fox, having a blast summoning and recalling it.

Just as the group was about to leave,

Pedro suddenly seemed to discover something, pointing at the ruins not far away and exclaiming,

“Master Chen, look, what’s that?”

The group turned to look, only to see something reflecting light in the ruins, and they happened to be standing at the angle of the reflection.

Chen Beixuan became interested. Could there be more hidden treasures?

He quickly walked forward, but then paused slightly.

What reflected the golden light was neither equipment nor an item, but a corner of a golden stone tablet!

It seemed to have been buried beneath the foundation, and his destruction of the foundation just happened to expose it.

Several crossbeams pressed down on it, obscuring the words on it.

Chen Beixuan gripped the edge with one hand, exerting a little force, and the crossbeams were sent flying hundreds of meters, landing on the ground with a clang.

His Strength attribute was fully displayed at this moment.

As the dust settled, the full appearance of the stone tablet was revealed.

To his surprise, there was also a golden stone slab next to it, which seemed to be a tunnel entrance.

“Han Dapao! Come take a look at the text on this!”

“Aye, coming.”

Han Dapao stepped forward, examining it carefully and translating it for everyone.

“This is a passage leading to the Demon Realm Ancient Ruins, a secret passage left by those who participated in its construction, originally intended to steal treasures a hundred years later, but no one who entered ever came out alive, so it was deemed inauspicious and completely sealed, with this tablet erected to warn future generations... never to open it...”

The inscription ended there, and everyone understood its meaning.

Clearly, it was extremely dangerous inside, otherwise, a tablet would not have been erected to warn future generations.

Han Dapao and Pedro both thought not to enter, but unfortunately, the decision was not in their hands, so they could only look at Chen Beixuan.

Chen Beixuan squatted down and touched the stone slab, a guess forming in his mind.

“Isn’t this just a dungeon? It’s too obvious.”

The stone tablet was fine for scaring NPCs, but for players who couldn’t die, it was like saying, ‘There are no 300 taels of silver here.’

He just didn’t know what level the dungeon was...

Thinking of this, Chen Beixuan exerted force with his palm, completely flipping open the stone slab with a whoosh!

A wave of rotten, dry air rushed out, causing people to gag and their eyes to itch.

As the air gradually dissipated, Chen Beixuan pulled Han Dapao, whose eyes were red from choking, away from in front of him.

“Master Chen, are we... going in?”

Pedro asked cautiously.

“What, are you scared?”

Chen Beixuan glanced at him playfully.

But then he noticed Xiao Lu’s frightened expression beside him.

He immediately slapped his forehead, feeling a bit annoyed.

He had actually forgotten that Xiao Lu was afraid of the dark.

“Alright, you guys don’t have to go down. Find a place to hide and wait for me to come back.”

He looked at Xiao Lu and instructed,

“Grandpa will be back very soon, don’t worry.”

“Okay.”

Xiao Lu nodded heavily.

Seeing this, Chen Beixuan no longer hesitated and jumped down the passage!

The passage was winding and twisting, like a slide, and quickly disappeared from the three people’s sight.

“Let’s go, find a place to wait for Master Chen to come back.”

Pedro spoke first, finding a hiding place was second nature to him.

Han Dapao also refused to be outdone, stating that he was also very skilled.

The two of them, chatting back and forth, led Xiao Lu away from the area...

......

Ding! You have entered the 80th level hidden dungeon, Demon Realm Ancient Ruins. Upon completion, you will receive a large amount of rewards and a server-wide announcement!

“80th level!”

Chen Beixuan, in mid-slide, secretly clicked his tongue, feeling a little regretful.

It felt like the leap was too big all at once; he hadn’t cleared the 40th level to 70th level dungeons yet, missing out on a lot.

When one is in the Jianghu, one is not oneself.

Sometimes he wanted to find dungeons to farm, but he was always pushed along by circumstances.

“First clear for all-level dungeons is probably not going to be maintained...”

“...Oh no!”

Chen Beixuan, talking to himself, suddenly felt his butt drop, and a sense of weightlessness struck him!

The slide-like passage had reached its end!

It was pitch black all around, impossible to see one’s hand in front of their face.

He had no idea how deep it was below...

Freefall continued, and the whooshing sound of wind blew past his ears. He could feel that it was very spacious inside!

Three seconds, eight seconds, thirty seconds!

Until he couldn’t remember the exact number of seconds, there was a loud thud! His lower back hit the ground!

Crack!

Fall Damage -4217899!

Ding! You have gained the status [Lumbar Fracture], Movement Speed -99%! The status will disappear when HP recovers above 50%!

“Ugh...”

Chen Beixuan was instantly speechless.

He finally understood why the stone tablet said no one who entered ever returned...

Anyone who came here would die!

Even a high-level BOSS would lose a layer of skin if they fell, let alone how strong the descendants of the laboring craftsmen could be.

Moreover, from such a height, even if one survived, how to get back up was another problem.

With this passage design, that craftsman must have been an internal spy!

“Reincarnation - Black Flame Nether Domain!”

Whoosh!

Black Flame spread out, and both magic arrays appeared simultaneously.

Besides using the Holy Magic Array to recover health, he also wanted to illuminate the area.

But after unfolding it, he helplessly discovered that the Black Flame was too dark to illuminate anything!!!

Fortunately, his Armor of the Thunder God continuously released effects 24 hours a day, illuminating a range of about 5 meters, like a disco with a strobe light on, barely allowing him to see.

He took out his previous stock of potions, grabbed a bottle of Legendary Healing Potion, and chugged it down.

+659286, +659286, +659286, ......
