Chapter 163 - 134: What Exactly Did They Do?!

Chapter 163: Chapter 134: What Exactly Did They Do?!

As they looked at each other, the light of hope burned in their eyes, surging with mutual encouragement. Civilization materialized within them. They had all become [Defenders].

"I can feel the Curse dissipating. I can feel the birth of hope." Kadar, standing beside Salas and Su Hong, spoke rapidly, his expression incomparably thrilled. "It’s the Great Sage!

"It’s the power left behind by the Great Sage that is granting us Sanctuary!

"A miracle will come soon! It will definitely come!"

Salas and Su Hong exchanged a glance. This obvious and clear change was evidently not limited to the [Human Circle] they were in; it existed widespread among the hundreds of Human Circles within [Giant Demon Valley].

"There are still two days left." Su Hong took a deep breath, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes. "In two days, we must lock onto the locations of all the remaining springs."

"Don’t worry, leave this to me." Salas pulled out a handful of small objects that looked like crushed stones. "The item, [Shattered Stone Locator].

"The coordinates obtained with this item can be shared with Chairman Yu and the others through the [Communication Button].

"We just need to toss one into each spring, and everything will be solved. However..." Salas revealed a troubled expression. "Can the two of us reach all of the springs?"

"There might be a way around this problem." Su Hong looked at the [Defenders] one by one within the [Human Circle]. "Why don’t we let them try?"

Two days passed by in a flash.

Yu Zhun’s team did not participate in the fight for the springs on the second day, as it was meaningless. The raiding teams that were secretly on guard against them breathed a sigh of relief, completely unaware that Yu Zhun’s team had their eyes on a much bigger prize. Before the locations of the springs were made public on the third day, Yu Zhun led all the raiding team members deep into [Giant Demon Valley].

Having infiltrated the [Human Circles], Su Hong and Salas had distributed the locators in advance to all the [Defenders]. After delegating the tasks, everyone took action, locking onto all thirty spring locations at the fastest possible speed.

While all the teams were patiently waiting for the spring locations to be revealed on the third day, what they got was not three pillars of light shooting up into the sky, but the raiding scoreboard covering the entire firmament! Before they even had time to be shocked, they clearly saw the team sitting at the very top of the rankings.

[Server: 45239]

[Captain: Yu Zhun]

[Raiding Points: 252,800]

[Current Rank: 1]

A total score of 250,000!

As the three-day Human Demon war kicked off ahead of schedule, all the players existing within [Giant Demon Valley] were collectively stunned! This raiding score... even if they had monopolized all the springs, it wouldn’t be this high, would it? What exactly did this team from Server 45239 do?!

Somewhere in Giant Demon Valley, the thirteen reunited members of Yu Zhun’s team looked at one another, unable to hide the excitement in their expressions. They were only one final step away from victory!

"Chairman Yu, let’s find a place to hide!" Zhou Yunhao took a deep breath. "As long as we hide for three days, victory will be ours!"

The others nodded as well, looking at Yu Zhun with faces full of anticipation. However, Yu Zhun remained silent at this moment.

They had destroyed one spring on the first day, killed Mith and Tagel’s team to obtain one [Spring Token], and destroyed thirty springs on the third day. He currently held thirty-two [Spring Tokens] in his hand. Yu Zhun took out one and aimed it at the sun. After slightly adjusting the angle, the water-drop token pointed in a certain direction, its tip emitting a bright light. Such an anomaly had not occurred since the altar was destroyed, but now, it appeared once again!

"Yun Hao, if we hide now, we can indeed clear the Dungeon." Yu Zhun suddenly smiled. "But if my guess is right, that would only be a normal clear."

"What?" Zhou Yunhao revealed a puzzled expression. "We’ve gathered so many tokens and allowed the human faction to gain enough buffs. Shouldn’t it be a perfect clear?"

"Because..." Yu Zhun took a deep breath. "The Great Sage’s lost treasure is a single item, not thirty-six..."

"Could it be..." Zhou Yunhao’s expression turned solemn.

"Yes." Yu Zhun nodded slightly. "Everything we’ve done has created a better ending than expected.

"But it is only better, not the best.

"It still cannot be considered a true perfect clear."

"Then what else do we need to do?" Ji Xiaoyu showed a confused expression. She had also assumed that everyone was about to achieve a perfect clear. But now, it seemed there were still twists and turns.

"I have some rough guesses." Having sorted out everything they had experienced since entering the Dungeon from beginning to end, Yu Zhun slowly spoke. "But to confirm these guesses, we first need to collect all the [Spring Tokens].

"Not only do we have to face the other teams, but we must take the initiative to attack and snatch their tokens." Yu Zhun took a deep breath and looked at all the members present. "Are you willing to try this with me?

"Try for the perfect first clear!"

Everyone fell silent simultaneously. On one hand was a safe Dungeon clear; on the other was a dangerous perfect first clear. It was indeed a difficult choice. Especially since death meant losing everything.

"I’m willing!" Ji Xiaoyu was the first to raise her head.

"I’m willing too!" Su Hong said in a deep voice.

"Same here!"

"Count me in!"

"Me too..."

The five people from the [Godslayer] guild quickly expressed their stance. They had witnessed countless Dungeons with their Chairman, and this time, just like in the past, they firmly made the same choice as him!

"I... am willing too!" Zhou Yunhao spoke in a deep voice, his eyes full of resolute conviction. "If we can achieve a perfect first clear, the compensation that Wen Yueze and Cen Lei’s relatives receive might increase by more than tenfold.

"I am the person in charge on the [Moon-devouring Celestial Wolf] side. I bear responsibility for their passing.

"Therefore, I want to risk it all!"

"Hey, hey, hey! Zhou, why are you trying to act cool all by yourself!" [Stealth Blade] Cao Yu spoke with an unhappy expression. "Aren’t those two our teammates too? Count me in!"

"Count me in." [Phantom Hunter] Long Xingyao crossed his arms, naturally striking a cool pose as he spoke calmly.

"I’m not comfortable letting just you guys go." [Resurrection High Priest] Yu Wei chuckled and shook her head. "I’ll go too."

"Then I’ll go help the two [Resurrection High Priests] draw some fire." [War Priest] Kolge swept the loose hair on his forehead to the side. "Just consider me a hero saving the beauties." Saying this, he couldn’t help but steal a glance at Yu Wei.

"Melee fighters, don’t throw your lives away." Tang Xiaoyu pushed up her slightly slipping round-framed glasses. With her neat short hair, she looked indescribably sharp and valiant. "You guys lack a more flexible Magic damage dealer."

Ji Xiaoyu was left speechless. She really had no way to refute those words.

The [Arcane Magic Guide] sacrificed Magic flexibility in exchange for the highest amount of damage output. Meanwhile, the [Magic Machinery Genius] was the ultimate display of Magic flexibility, with their strength depending to a certain extent on their [Blacksmith] talent. Tang Xiaoyu, a girl only a few years older than her, had a talent as a [Blacksmith] that was only slightly inferior to Salas’s.

Her Magic Machinery could not only automatically track and attack enemies but also bind and block them. They could even detonate during close combat, inflicting a wide variety of crowd control effects on the target. Many functions that [Blacksmiths] couldn’t achieve with items became possible with Magic Machinery. After interacting with her, Salas had already begun to regret not choosing the [Mage] [Profession].

[Firearms Expert] Marvin looked at everyone and humorously spread his hands. "So, you guys wouldn’t leave behind a poor, weak, and helpless cannoneer, right?"

Everyone couldn’t help but laugh. After losing two members, they hadn’t experienced such a relaxed atmosphere in two days.

"Let’s go. We need to take the initiative and find our opponents." Yu Zhun spoke softly, his gaze landing on the [Spring Token] in his hand.

This time, the [Spring Token] indicated not just one direction. It pointed in three. These three directions corresponded to the three teams that also possessed [Spring Tokens]. As for why there were three teams instead of four...

Yu Zhun raised his head and looked at the raiding scoreboard in the sky, which everyone could clearly see.

[Server: 39393]

[Captain: Lu Wen]

[Raiding Points: 11,000]

[Current Rank: 2]

After the first day, Yu Zhun had not seen that blindfolded, dual-sword-wielding youth in Silver Armor again. But he had not forgotten their clash in the [Nether Abyss].

This would be their second time.
