Chapter 205: The Gods’ Ambush (1/2)

Things were pretty silent on the first floor. As we silently approached the northeast corner of the map, we saw a narrow stairway that led further down. We could probably reach the second underground floor if we went down there.

Gripping the Ghost Ice Soul, I stuck my head closer and tried to see what was below us. “Damn, it’s completely pitch-black. What to do?”

Lin Yixin kicked me from behind. “Get your ass down there and you’ll know what to do naturally!”

Boom!

I fell down the stairway with outstretched arms, but thankfully it wasn’t a long fall. The first and second floors were only three meters apart at most. Things were still pretty dark in here, and the floors were covered in eerie white bones. Clearly, they were the remains of NPC adventurers who had tried to challenge this map. Level 60 mobs might not matter to us players, but they could be absolutely deadly to some NPCs.

The only source of light in the map was the dim light of the torches on the walls. I had no idea how long they had been burning, only that a scorched smell was tickling my nose.

I looked up and saw a bunch of ancient drawings on the wall. They were all traditional drawings of beautiful women, or more specifically naked ladies with big bottoms stroking their hair coquettishly. In some sense, this absolutely qualified as art.

The more I looked, the happier I became. I couldn’t help but point a finger at one of the drawings and laughed. “Hahaha, I had no idea that succubi bottoms are this round. They even have a short tail above it! So cute…”

Lin Yixin gritted her teeth in anger because her chosen race was a succubus. She glared at me and said, “I see you’re a man of culture. Don’t say I didn’t warn you that the Divine Martial Token might be taken by Blue Sky Scar, Transient Smoke and Clouds and Tempest Shadow if we dilly-dally for too long. Actually, if you like these drawings so much, why don’t you stay here until the end of time?”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “Relax, Beauty Yi. I doubt the boss on the last floor is going to be a small fry. It’s true that Blue Sky Scar and his goons are strong, but they’re also way too arrogant for their own good. How are they going to challenge the boss when they haven’t even brought a priest with them? Who knows, they may be all dead by the time we reach the ninth floor!”

Lin Yixin shot me a disgruntled look and snorted, but didn’t say anything. I guessed that she tacitly admitted that my logic was right.

Murong Mingyue was so engrossed with the drawings that she accidentally ran into me. I immediately felt something big and soft enveloping my arm.

“Huh?” I let out a cry of surprise.

Lin Yixin asked, “What’s wrong?”

Murong Mingyue hurriedly took two steps backward and said, “It’s nothing. Let’s not waste any more time and look for the entrance to the third floor!”

“Okay!”

We walked carefully and tried to avoid the mobs on the second floor as much as possible. They were just Level 62 common mobs that gave little EXP and had poor loot table. There was just no incentive for us to fight them.

We barely took a couple of steps before a pitch-black cave appeared in front of us. It was the entrance to Devil Spirit Hall’s third floor!

Just like before, I walked at the front while the two girls followed behind me.

While we were walking down the stairs, Murong Mingyue asked, “Blue Sky Scar and his friends are on the fifth floor already. Dominating Heaven Blade and Indigo Collar are both on the fourth floor, and their coordinates are pretty much right next to one another. I think they’re… fighting each other?”

I smiled. “Let’s check the list again in a few minutes. I have a feeling that someone’s about to die very soon.”

“Yeah!”

We entered the third floor, and the mobs were now Level 64. Again, neither Lin Yixin nor I were interested in such lousy mobs. Murong Mingyue was interested, but she couldn’t beat them.

A few minutes later, Murong Mingyue suddenly cried out. “Fuck!”

“What’s wrong, sis?” I turned around to ask.

“Check the coordinate log. It seems like Indigo Collar couldn’t defeat Dominating Heaven Blade and was forced to escape to the fifth floor. However, he vanished the second he entered the place…”

I checked the coordinates of the Candle Dragon party carefully before gasping in realization. “Fuck! Those bastards are lying in wait at the exit to the fifth floor and ambushing anyone who passes through! So despicable! This behavior is unbefitting of their status!”

Lin Yixin giggled. “Come on, this is normal. No one here is a small fry after all. Plus, who cares if they’re CGL Hall of Famers? One swing is all it takes to kill any of them…”

Murong Mingyue burst into laughter. “Beauty Lin is bursting with confidence, I see!”

Lin Yixin returned the smile before saying, “Thank you…”

Their dynamic caught me a little off-guard. “Since when did you two get so close to each other?”

“Huh? Are we?”

“...”

God, women are such unfathomable creatures!

……

When the three of us arrived at the fourth floor, we immediately saw Dominating Heaven Blade fighting against a group of green ghosts at the distance.They were all Level 68. When Dominating Heaven Blade saw us, he immediately drank an HP potion and ordered his pet to attack faster. He was trying to clear out all the mobs before we reached him.

We didn’t try to kill him while his hands were full. Why would we need to use trickery, when the chances of Lin Yixin and I killing Dominating Heaven Blade were infinitely close to 100%? If we really wanted to kill him, we could just walk up to him and take revenge for all the players he had killed at the plaza.

Murong Mingyue raised her magic staff warily. “What should we do, Lu Chen? Should we kill Dominating Heaven Blade?”

I shook my head. “Not yet!”
