Chapter 164: Chapter 135: Lu Wen Breaks Down!
"Chairman Yu, who should we choose as our target?"
After the entire team reached a consensus, their morale soared to unprecedented heights. Zhou Yunhao asked the question, feeling as if he had shed a decade from his age, returning to his fearless youth.
"Who to choose..." Yu Zhun murmured, holding the Spring Token and pointing it toward the three glowing directions. The light emanating from one direction was noticeably brighter than the other two.
If the glowing directions indicated the current locations of the teams holding Spring Tokens, then the brightness undoubtedly corresponded to the number of tokens in those directions.
Staring in the brightest direction, Yu Zhun suddenly smiled. "Let’s head to the other two directions first. We have to save the best for last."
Meanwhile, in another part of Giant Demon Valley.
"Captain! The battle for the Spring Tokens has ended early!
"The raid leaderboard has appeared!"
A raid team member couldn’t help but look at the figure standing nearby. Although the young man’s eyes were wrapped in a black blindfold, he had proven unexpectedly reliable over the past three days. He truly deserved his reputation as the strongest SSS-rank talent player of the younger generation.
"It’s normal." Lu Wen’s expression remained perfectly calm. He wasn’t the least bit anxious that the battle for the Spring Tokens had ended nine days early. While his companions panicked, he simply spoke with composure. "We mentioned that random Mechanism before.
"By having some members infiltrate the Human Circle, there’s a certain probability of obtaining the location data for a portion of the springs in advance.
"The more members that infiltrate the Human Circle, the higher the probability of getting this location data, and the more comprehensive the information will be.
"At the same time, however, the more people who infiltrate the Human Circle, the more dangerous it becomes for the remaining team.
"Furthermore, during the upcoming three days of the Human-Demon War, they will be much easier targets."
Although he was the youngest in the team, Lu Wen’s voice was steady and powerful. Like a stabilizing anchor, his words instantly calmed his teammates.
"Tell me about the leaderboard," Lu Wen said slowly.
Although his Mental Domain allowed him to perceive everything within his attack range to the absolute limit, it was strictly confined to that range. The raid leaderboard hanging in the sky was something Lu Wen couldn’t sense. Even though losing his sight didn’t affect his daily life most of the time, it still brought him some minor inconveniences.
Fortunately, he had his teammates. These teammates were his eyes.
They had gradually grown accustomed to working with Lu Wen. The team member who had spoken first reported loudly, "Including us, a total of four teams have obtained Spring Tokens.
"We are ranked second. The two teams behind us only have one token each. So, by calculation, the team ranked ahead of us has a staggering thirty-two tokens.
"It’s a bit strange, though... Their raid points seem to be even higher than what thirty-two tokens should yield.
"Of course, it’s also possible that there were more monsters acting as Guardians in the hidden springs than we imagined, earning them extra points.
"This team is from Server 45239. Their captain is—"
"Stop!"
Lu Wen, who had remained calm and silent up until now, felt his heart skip a beat. He hastily interrupted his teammate.
That familiar server number reminded him of some unpleasant experiences in the Nether Abyss. Regardless of whether the opposing captain was that particular person or not, he didn’t want to hear the name.
As long as he knew nothing, he could execute the kill as if nothing were amiss. Although it was somewhat self-deceptive, this fulfilled the triggering condition for his Unaware of Invincibility talent.
"There is no need to speak our opponent’s name." A trace of domineering arrogance seeped into Lu Wen’s calm voice. "I have no intention of remembering the names of the dead souls beneath my sword."
At these words, expressions of admiration instantly appeared on everyone’s faces. He truly was the strongest of the younger generation in their world. Just this invincible aura alone was something no one else could match!
Lu Wen slowly stood up and drew a pair of Long Swords from his waist, his hands subconsciously tightening their grip on the hilts.
If the person he had to face this time really was Yu Zhun... he would definitely give him a massive surprise.
Because he had already lost his hearing. Even if the other party announced his name like last time, Lu Wen wouldn’t be moved in the slightest.
No, he couldn’t let his thoughts wander any further.
Lu Wen took a deep breath, suppressing the restlessness in his heart. Whether the opponent was Yu Zhun or someone else, all he needed to do was sweep away all resistance and cut down anything that stood in his way!
SQUELCH—
Pulling the dagger from his opponent’s chest, Yu Zhun calmly retrieved their thirty-fourth Spring Token under the dying enemy’s despairing gaze.
"I have to admit," the somewhat eccentric Stealth Blade Cao Yu said cheerfully, "stealing other people’s Spring Tokens isn’t actually that dangerous."
Having taken the initiative to strike twice in a row, their opponents had been utterly powerless to fight back. The thirteen-man team still maintained zero casualties.
"Not dangerous?" Hearing this, Zhou Yunhao, who was busy gathering the loot, walked over and gave Cao Yu a hard knock on the head. "Don’t you dare think like that! We’re just riding on someone’s coattails this time. If you act like this when you enter a Dungeon on your own in the future, it’ll cost you your life!"
Why had it been so smooth this time?
Sheila’s long-range damage meant that their opponents started losing members before they even saw anyone.
Yu Zhun took out enemies with a single strike like he was swatting flies. He basically didn’t need the rest of the team to help deal damage; the only thing they had to do was play a support role.
