Regardless of whether Bai Ye fancied the members of the Evil Spirit Troupe, by the standards of the masses, they were quite capable.
What did experts represent? Divine Stone fragments, of course!
Furthermore, the Evil Spirit Troupe had also collected some rather good items within the virtual game’s forbidden zone. Unlike the outside, items held within could not be obtained through killing.
Therefore, the Hidden Dragon Society had no intention of peaceful development.
This was something Bai Ye was happy to see.
If you developed peacefully, what was the point of all his efforts?
The goal was to make them fight, to fight each other to the death!
“An hour is more than enough,” Bai Ye said, stretching his waist. “Let’s take down the first floor’s Boss first.”
After Gao Ming and the other two had picked their items, and a new member of the Evil Spirit Troupe had logged in and rushed over, everyone set off again for the Boss’s location.
An open space within a forest, named the Bonfire Camp.
In the center was a bonfire. When someone entered…
The bonfire’s flames suddenly surged, growing three to four meters high. Immediately, a witch in a fiery red magic robe emerged from the flames.
The Flame Witch, one of the three bosses on the first floor. Defeating her would allow passage to the second floor, or one could leave with items.
Gao Ming was a spectator; he had already cleared the first floor.
The remaining two members of the Evil Spirit Troupe looked to Gao Ming for guidance on whether they should engage, and then…
BOOM!
Seeing the Flame Witch raise her magic staff and unleash a fireball, Bai Ye simply waved his hand. A fireball several times larger appeared and shot forward.
It swallowed the Flame Witch’s fireball and then engulfed the Flame Witch herself.
“Ah!”
A sharp shriek rang out as the Flame Witch’s body was instantly incinerated by the fireball.
Bai Ye waved his hand. “Next floor.”
Defeating the Flame Witch was not a difficult task. Gao Ming felt he could also demonstrate what it meant to say, “I could do it too.”
However, using fire to defeat a creature resistant to fire…
Gao Ming could only say that this move was quite audacious, directly ignoring the opponent’s fire resistance, wasn’t it?
After the Flame Witch’s demise, a portal appeared beside the bonfire. Entering it led to the second floor.
The style of the second floor was instantly refreshed.
The color palette of the entire world seemed to have darkened a bit.
The surrounding buildings were very distinctive. More accurately, all the machinery possessed mechanical elements.
Houses had external elevators, roofs rotated automatically to quickly dry clothes hung on them, and there were tracks in the sky, with inverted carriages slowly passing by.
Airships flew in the sky. Suddenly, a wooden bird landed in front of a residential building and placed a newspaper in the mailbox.
A steampunk-themed world, filled with strong mechanical elements.
Without lingering too long in the town, Bai Ye directly led the group out of the town and towards a mine in the wilderness.
One of the three bosses on the second floor, the Mad Excavator!
This was Bai Ye’s target for the second floor. After reaching the depths of the mine, as long as one entered the Mad Excavator’s active area, it would attack ferociously.
Before entering, the two members of the Evil Spirit Troupe again looked to Gao Ming, asking if they should make a move.
Gao Ming pondered for a moment. He could handle the second-floor boss, but it was a bit difficult. Gao Ming was curious to see how far Bai Ye could go, but he also felt it wasn’t right to just watch. Then…
CRASH!
Suddenly, the massive Mad Excavator began to fall apart, quickly scattering into a pile of parts.
Gao Ming was immediately speechless. It seemed he didn’t need to worry about whether to join in.
Bai Ye said, “Open the treasure chest.”
After the Boss was defeated, it would leave behind a treasure chest, which could contain various items. The Boss chest on the first floor wasn’t very significant.
But on the second floor, black-quality items were guaranteed to appear, with a small chance of obtaining red-quality items, making it worth looking forward to.
Gao Ming smiled. “You defeated it, you open it.”
These words made Bai Ye gasp in shock.
Brother, are you sure you want me to do it?
You haven’t seen me draw from the gacha machine!
Bai Ye quickly retreated to the side. “You guys should do it.”
When it came to gambling with luck, Bai Ye had a very clear understanding of himself.
Gao Ming was indifferent. He sent someone forward to open the treasure chest. Their luck was quite good; out of six items, two were red quality. Most importantly, there was a red-quality airship, and it was a combat type.
Gao Ming’s eyes lit up. This was a good item and definitely needed to be taken out.
Of course, Bai Ye’s feelings still needed to be considered, so Gao Ming looked at Bai Ye.
“Why are you looking at me?” Bai Ye said, looking at the airship. “The minimum operating crew is five people. Are you kidding me?”
Gao Ming laughed heartily. “Then I won’t be polite.”
After collecting the items, everyone’s expressions became more solemn.
Next was the third floor, which was the real start of the show.
Stepping into the portal before them, if they couldn’t defeat the Hidden Dragon Society and couldn’t clear the third-floor Boss, they would be trapped in the game forever. That was no laughing matter.
Bai Ye, however, was nonchalant, waving his hand dismissively. “Let’s go!”
Bai Ye led the way into the portal.
The third floor was a world with a Japanese aesthetic. Upon entering, the oriental charm emerged.
Ancient buildings, small bridges, flowing water, and the sound of wind chimes from afar.
The eerie part was looking up; the moon hanging in the sky was clearly a red moon.
Gao Ming’s subordinate said, “Our people are at the city gate.”
Bai Ye nodded and followed Gao Ming towards the city gate.
It wasn’t far. A city in the Land of the Rising Sun? Bai Ye felt it was just a village with a wall. From ancient times to the present, the scale of the Land of the Rising Sun had always been somewhat lacking.
Outside the city gate, Bai Ye saw seven members of the Evil Spirit Troupe waiting. They politely greeted Gao Ming upon seeing him.
But at this moment…
CLANG!
The city gate suddenly retracted and quickly closed with a loud bang.
Gao Ming was stunned. “What’s going on?”
“Disperse!” Bai Ye kicked Gao Ming directly. “What else could it be? Enemy attack!”
Gao Ming was kicked into a “Falling Wild Goose Style,” with his rear end sticking out and his face on the ground, his dignified image instantly ruined. However, Gao Ming not only couldn’t blame Bai Ye but also had to thank him.
Because, the moment Gao Ming was kicked away…
Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, a faint red energy beam struck the spot where Gao Ming had been standing, shattering a piece of the ground and leaving behind burn marks.
“What are you waiting for?” Bai Ye shouted. “Disperse, everyone disperse, find cover!”
Everyone looked at each other. Fortunately, Gao Ming reacted quickly and immediately said, “Listen to him, listen to him. Until the end of this forbidden zone, he is your commander.”
