Chapter 761: Chapter 546: The Lion and the Rabbit_2

"But there’s a door that can’t be opened. I suspect there’s something hidden inside,"

"Of course, there’s something hidden," Lind said. "Something very dangerous."

Mico became increasingly excited. As he had guessed, this was the beginning of the plot.

"May I follow you?"

"Of course." Lind nodded and generously placed a golden exclamation mark above his own head.

"Lord is so magnanimous!" Mico merrily accepted the quest.

Although it was just a simple follow-up task with no reward, it was his official ticket into the hidden map, an exclusive pass.

If he could enter the hidden map, he’d even be happy to pay for it.

Just as they entered the mine, Mico gently waved his finger, and a sphere of light floated out.

The light was soft but illuminated a very wide area, as if day had suddenly arrived in the gloomy mine shaft.

"Is this an Illumination Spell?" Mico was surprised.

How different it was from the one he had learned.

No one answered; he turned to look, Lind was turning to look at Mico, and Mico, proud as ever, just tilted his head as if awaiting praise.

"If I initiate conversation again, I’m a dog!" Mico decided to keep his mouth shut.

The three of them arrived at the iron door on the bottom level of the mine.

Lind raised his hand and pushed the door, but it didn’t budge.

With his strength, pushing the door should have at least caused some noise in the mine, with his battle power that was enough to reshape the terrain, he could easily level this place.

But reality was the opposite of what they had imagined; not only did the iron door remain closed, but not even a speck of dust fell from the mine shaft.

"Let’s go out first."

The three of them left the way they came.

As Lind stared at the mine pondering how to delve deeper underground, Mico proactively inquired, "Lord Lind, what’s down there?"

"Something very dangerous," Lind replied.

Lind didn’t mind revealing some of the prophecy to the Undead in advance, as the matter of several decades later was not really a secret. The Undead would find out if they inquired.

Previously unanswered questions were due to their weak powers, not being taken seriously.

Now, no one could ignore the existence of the Undead.

"The prophecy says that in a few decades, a group of enemies will come, but part of them have already arrived in our world before that,"

Mico asked, "Are they the ones behind the door of the mine?"

"Correct."

"This is exciting, isn’t it?" Mico was not afraid, but rather very excited. "It means there are even more new maps! The content of the game is so rich."

Indeed rich, but this wasn’t a game. If not handled properly, the entire continent could be slaughtered clean. Even the immortality of the Undead would be useless as they’d be trapped in a loop of "resurrection—death—resurrection"—malpractice.

"There’s a Magic Barrier below."

A barrier that left Lind with no options could only mean that the other party had set up some kind of barrier, one that couldn’t be opened unless someone reached a certain level of power.

In this world, there’s no such thing as "invincible." As menacing as it appears to withstand all forces, with enough fierce and sustained firepower bombardment, the barrier could be easily shattered.

He decided to use the most foolish method to open the barrier below.

"Step back!"

Lind took a step forward, and countless fire-red moths appeared out of nowhere, landing on him. They spread their wings, transforming into an ancient set of Battle Armor.

With another step, Lind’s body suddenly grew taller.

With each step, he grew taller and taller, becoming a Giant in the eyes of Mico and Mico.

"Holy shit!" Mico reacted and immediately started recording.

The big moment was definitely coming.

"Boom!" As Lind grasped a long blade in his hands and thrust it downward, the ground quivered like pierced tofu, caving in.

The land of the Star Mine collapsed in an instant.

The mountain crumbled, and rocks flew everywhere.

But the collapse of the earth was just the beginning, as the web-like fissures spread from pitch black to dark red, then to bright red.

Red light spilled out.

"Rumble!"

The subsequent blaze of fire swallowed Lind’s giant figure, and a thick pillar of fire connected heaven and earth.

Star Dragon City.

Miss Brittany the Gluttonous Snake has been on a diet lately; for some reason, the sky has suddenly turned dusty, the air filled with debris.

"It rarely rains these days."

Rain is scarce in the North, and another year of cold dryness is approaching, perhaps the only consolation being that she no longer has to toil like a slave for Lord Lind to earn a living as before.

"I’ll diet when it warms up next year." Brittany thought up a more suitable diet plan.

This chilly weather is perfect for sitting in front of the fireplace, drinking piping hot sweet milk tea, devouring pudding, and then blissfully sleeping all afternoon.

Children excitedly run through the streets.

The birth plan initially implemented by Lind has brought the first bundle of burgeoning life to this land, playing a game of stepping on every other brick without making a mistake.

Nobody knows why, but that’s just what needs to be done, and everyone has played it.

The dust grows thicker, and it seems there’s a huge sound coming from a distance.

A suffocating tightness in the chest makes it difficult to breathe.

Soon, guards come out to maintain order; everyone is ordered to go home and not to go out without authorization.

"What happened?" She tries to stop someone to ask.

The person stopped seems reluctant to answer, but upon seeing Brittany, he says, "Nothing much, just the Lord doing some things."

She climbs atop the city wall and borrows a telescope to look into the distance.

The mountain range that once obstructed the view is now billowing black smoke, spewing flames connecting to the sky like an enormous sword overhead.

Chilly winds blow from that direction, bringing with them a great deal of dust.

Brittany wants to see things more clearly, then she sees at the farthest end of the telescope’s reach, tiny ant-like things in the sky, spitting out a fine line of fire.

In just a few short years, Lind has grown so powerful, even more so than the Undead chronicled.

That line of fire casts upon the earth, becoming thicker and thicker, coloring Brittany’s pupils in shades of orange and yellow.

The clouds in the sky are drawn in, rapidly condensing into a dense mass of dark clouds, solidly covering overhead.

Then, something smaller than a dragon, along with dragons, crashes into that mountain.

The mountain is gone.

The continuous bombardment sounds like thunder, always lagging behind lightning, slowly exploding in Brittany’s ears, yet startling her hazy senses awake.

"Boom!" The sound feels like it’s been stifled for ages, heavy enough to affect the heart rate.

The mountain range that separated Prey Town from the plateau where Star Mine is located disappears from Brittany’s sight.

Just a moment of silence, and then the flames that had been smashed to the ground and mountain range rebound towards the sky.

The firelight bursts and spreads, with flame-wrapped stones flying all over the sky, the volcanic eruption-like flaming meteors resembling signal flares.

Putting down the telescope, Brittany hears hurried winds, and she subconsciously looks up.

Has it gotten dark?

No, one after another Bat Wing Blood Wart Demons spread their wings and surge toward the sky, some with their claws clutching Undead, others with Undead riding on their backs, rushing out of Star Dragon City towards the direction of the fiery burst.

The sky is completely overtaken, a mass of darkness.

The Undead definitely won’t miss any crucial moment; it’s their time to enter the scene again.

Star Mine.

The mine shafts have disappeared, replaced by a deep pit extending infinitely downwards. If one casts their gaze generously into the abyss, they would surely be devoured by the ultimate darkness.

More and more Undead fly in, using every conceivable method.

But they also tacitly look towards Lind; no one dives straight down, after witnessing Lind’s combat power, no one would challenge his authority recklessly; one misstep could result in being banned from entering the hidden maps, a loss outweighing the gain.

The Sin Dragon has left, and Lind’s body size has returned to normal, but within the crowd, he still towers over the rest.

"Forward lies danger," Lind declares.

"We’re not scared!" A messy roar comes from all directions, fearing that their own hesitation will lead to being unable to go down.

Lind smiles, a thought crosses his mind, and a golden [!] appears above his head.

[Proceed to Star Mine to investigate the situation at the bottom]

[Reward: None]

No one is dissatisfied, the Undead like a black torrent, frantically pouring into the pit.

The number of Undead isn’t large, but it’s enough to act as Deminers.

Streams of livestream footage flicker before his eyes as he begins monitoring.
