Chapter 392 - 398: Hidden Area
The Hang Yu squad didn’t explore the enormous cells one by one, but instead zigzagged to find an inconspicuous area, where a humanoid monster that resembled a skeleton was lingering.
Prison Guard, Level 13, Golden Level Elite Monster.
Prison Guard Captain, Level 14, Golden Level Elite Monster.
Hang Yu: "We’ll avoid the Level 13 Prison Guards as much as possible, only killing the Level 14 Prison Guard Captains."
The others, though confused, didn’t ask more questions, knowing that Hang Yu had his reasons.
Two hours passed.
They found and killed more than a dozen Prison Guard Captains.
They would drop a set of Level 13 White Quality armor, but the attributes weren’t very good. Overall, the drops were quite mediocre. Compared to these almost unprofitable Prison Guards, the monsters in the large cells were clearly more attractive.
The Ancient Prison Relic is open for a limited time.
Just farming Prison Guards? Such a waste!
Elite Monsters are everywhere!
Why come here specifically?
Two more squads of Prison Guard Captains were eliminated.
When Jiang Nan was looting, he suddenly discovered something, "Great God, look, this Prison Guard Captain dropped a strange loot!"
[Prisoner’s Bell], special item, White Lower Grade Quality.
At first glance, it was just an ordinary bell.
There was no introduction in the item information.
"We’ve finally gotten it!" Hang Yu smiled, "This thing has a small chance to drop from Prison Guard Captains. Its use should be to activate some hidden mechanism in the prison."
Regarding comrade Jiang.
Hang Yu appreciated her character the most.
After all, she was Hang Yu’s essential Imperial Box Opener!
Hang Yu originally thought they’d have to clear all twenty to thirty squads of Prison Guards on the first floor of the prison to have a chance to drop this item. Unexpectedly, it dropped before they even cleared half.
He patted Jiang Nan’s shoulder, "Let’s go!"
Jiang Nan scratched her head embarrassedly. She felt she hadn’t done anything, what did the drops have to do with her?
A few minutes later.
Hang Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks.
In front of him was a special prison cell, different from others: fully enclosed from all sides like a giant fortress, with no visible entrance.
"This must be it..."
Hang Yu activated the bell. The ancient bell floated into the air and shook on its own, but didn’t make any sound. Instead, waves of light visible to the naked eye were emitted.
Zhang Xiaoqiang exclaimed, "It’s open! There’s a hidden path!"
The bell vanished.
A passage appeared in front of them.
Before this, the passage hadn’t existed.
Zhao Ming and Xu Tianhua both realized they’d opened a hidden area, something even the Great Lord Kaliemlo probably didn’t know about.
Hang Yu ordered, "Dog, scout ahead!"
Several Erha clones quickly entered. A few minutes later, they reported, "Boss, there aren’t many monsters inside, but there seems to be a strong one, likely a lord-level entity."
"Is that so?" Despite having an idea, Hang Yu was relieved upon Er Gou’s report, "Let’s go!"
The situation was similar to Er Gou’s reconnaissance.
This looked like a rest area for the Prison Guards.
A dozen to twenty Prison Guards hovered nearby, with one clearly different: a pitch-black skeleton, three meters tall, clad in armor, wielding dual shears.
Prison Warden, Level 14, Silver Level Lord Monster, quite formidable, the hidden BOSS in this hidden BOSS room.
"Old Zhao, Old Xu, you handle those Prison Guards around, I’ll take care of their leader."
"Action!"
The other five, Er Gou, and the big ant moved out.
The attention of the Prison Guards was immediately captured.
Two red flames ignited in the hollow eyes of the Prison Warden as it prepared to attack the intruders. Suddenly, a ghostly figure appeared before it.
As an Undead Race monster.
The Prison Warden had almost no thinking ability.
It instinctively raised its dual shears, ready to unleash its strongest attack skill. Yet Hang Yu, ready to strike, moved even faster!
"Chasing Light and Shadow Sword Array!"
Thirty silverfish-like small swords were activated, no longer wandering leisurely but shooting out from Hang Yu’s body like thirty lasers, enclosing the Prison Warden.
The swarm of swords began to decompose!
Each semi-transparent small sword split into several sharp sword qis, instantly transforming the thirty small swords into sixty or seventy sword qis. These sword qis, rapidly revolving, formed a small cyclone of sword qi.
The Prison Warden was directly swept into the air by the sword qi cyclone.
-52!
-55!
-51!
...
Amidst countless sword qis slashing.
It instantly inflicted dozens of hits.
The Prison Warden lost nearly 1500 points of life energy from the attack!
Two seconds later, the sword qis dispersed, and the Prison Warden fell back to the ground, its body riddled with holes, like a plaything repeatedly ravaged by a thousand strong men.
"Such terrifying power!"
The others were secretly shocked!
Hang Yu’s sword array, though prepared for a while, had never been used. This was the first time, and its power was unexpectedly overwhelming!
The opponent was a lord monster!
Not a level eleven or twelve lord!
A level fourteen lord!
Hang Yu’s one skill inflicted over a thousand points of damage, such frightening power was perhaps two to three times that of the Earth Dragon Wave, and likely no human could survive this skill head-on.
Truly formidable!
No wonder it’s a fourth tier skill!
This skill was just at level 1!
The use of Chasing Light and Shadow Sword Array is flexible. It can focus on shredding one target or expand the attack range. The former can cause higher damage, while the latter can attack a larger area.
It can also control the speed of the sword array, inflicting rapid damage in a short time or carrying out slow yet prolonged strikes.
A level 14 lord.
With plenty of life energy.
But after being hit by the Chasing Light and Shadow Sword Array, the Prison Warden’s bones were shattered, nearly crippled. Even with half its life energy left, it posed no threat to Hang Yu.
Hang Yu quickly rushed forward: Demon Blood Awakening, Blade of Burning Blood, Mad Charge, Eye of Rapid Shadow, Rapid Shadow Instant Kill... Hang’s full set of services rendered the Prison Warden into a heap of broken bones during its ascent to heaven.
A Silver Lord three levels higher than Hang Yu.
Defeated without resistance!
The Prison Guards were entirely eradicated.
Er Gou exclaimed, "Ow, Boss, I’ve leveled up!"
After the battle.
Dog leveled up to 11.
All attributes were significantly enhanced.
Boss Dog could now control six clone dogs, and even the skills were enhanced, becoming even more powerful.
Regarding the loot.
The Prison Warden dropped two pieces of bright green combat profession equipment, a level 12 Blue Equipment Artifact Refining Blueprint, and a Spiritual Professional Skill Stone.
Hang Yu took a brief look.
Two good bright green armors.
Level 12, focusing on strength, given to Old Xu.
The blueprint is for a level 12 blue Giant Shield.
Old Zhao was still using a level 10 green Giant Shield, greatly affecting his defense, so the blueprint was kept for Old Zhao. As for the green Skill Stone, naturally, it was given to the only spiritual professional in the team, Qin Mu.
Hang Yu said, "Jiang Nan, Xiaoqiang, there hasn’t been anything you need yet, but don’t be discouraged, we’re just beginning, more good things are coming."
Jiang Nan said, "It’s okay!"
Zhang Xiaoqiang chuckled, "Following the boss, there’s always meat to eat, I’m not worried!"
Dog came over and said, "Ow, boss, found the passage."
Hang Yu nodded, "Let’s go, to the next layer!"
This hidden map’s passage is a shortcut. Perhaps the Hang Yu squad will reach the second layer ahead of the Sand Spring City squad, and by the time the Sand Spring City squad is busy on the second layer, Hang Yu would have already ventured into the deepest part.
(PS: Met with some issues today, can’t release two updates in succession, the next update will be about an hour late.)
