Chapter 146: Chapter 137: Welcome to Shooting Street of Ring Seal City_2

Only those who touched the bonfire and completed the "save" can be resurrected here after death.

Watching Gapar touch the bonfire, Leon suddenly had a bad feeling, as if this adventure was going to be very troublesome.

When Gapar touched the bonfire, images suddenly appeared before his eyes, the same ones that Leon and the others had seen before.

These images were preserved and unified, all placed on the bonfire at the Fire Transmission Ceremony site, visible to anyone who touched the bonfire for the first time.

This was a recent setting added by Gong Qiying, they had forgotten it due to being preoccupied with too many other matters.

Not long after, Gapar finally came back to his senses from the images, his facial muscles twitching slightly, as if he was trying hard to suppress his emotions.

After a while, he exclaimed, "Those images are really cool."

Leon’s eyes lit up, absolutely, he also thought whoever it was in the images, be it Gwyn, Nite, or someone else, was really cool!

The others exchanged looks, feeling that these two had different priorities from normal people. Shouldn’t one be more concerned about history or such after watching the images?

When everyone reached the edge of the Fire Transmission Ceremony site, ready to jump down into the graveyard, Maru hesitated due to the psychological shadows left from before.

It was only after the skeletons were swiftly dealt with that she dared to proceed.

"Wait, don’t move yet!"

Standing at the entrance to the grave area, Maru remembered the triggered explosive traps here and quickly stopped everyone. Drew used the Lighting Technique to mark out the traps, and everyone carefully walked around them.

Such simple traps really weren’t very effective anymore, they were only a nuisance for newbies.

Passing through this long tunnel would bring them to the graveyard area. At Maru’s insistence, Drew kept a powerful Lighting Technique on the entire way, nearly blinding everyone.

However, it was indeed effective. Under the illumination, all hidden traps and monsters were exposed.

Maru was two hundred percent more vigilant, scrutinizing every strangely shaped rock to ensure it wasn’t a trap.

Holding his longsword, Gapar said to Leon, "This is no different from when I was exploring dungeons in my youth."

Leon thought to himself that this was just child’s play; soon you’ll see the real shining points of Sain Dungeon.

The number of traps in the tunnel was infuriating, and a short stretch took half an hour to navigate.

The team that had spread the news about this section didn’t mention a word about the traps inside!

Stepping out of the tunnel, everyone felt a sudden sense of spaciousness—well, not exactly spacious, but more of an openness.

Because this was a plain made up entirely of tombstones!

The sky was still rock layers overhead, the false plain cast in a gloomy light by the spiritual fires on top of the tombstones, with weeds as tall as a person that swayed as if to welcome newcomers, implying one might get lost from the group just by stepping in.

"I can use the Floating Technique," Drew said.

The Floating Technique would allow them to raise their heads above the weeds so as not to lose sight, but to outsiders, it would look like a few Flying Head Monsters moving through the field.

It would be a pretty bizarre scene.

Leon nodded and said, "I think that’s a good idea."

But at this moment, Gapar unsheathed his longsword, stepped in front of the weeds, and smiled, "No need for such trouble, I’ll clear the way."

Gapar hadn’t entered a dungeon for a long time and seeing the Strategy Group’s members reminded him of his younger self, rekindling buried passions.

He needed to show these youngsters a thing or two!

He recalled that his initial interest in learning swordsmanship was because swordplay looked cool, and then he thought magic was cooler than swordplay, so he wanted to become a Magician.

For a man, it’s always justified to pursue coolness!

"You’re not planning to..."

Drew took a step back.

Given Gapar’s posture, it seemed he intended to clear all the weeds in this area.

He could certainly do it, but there were also many hard tombstones throughout the grass, which would inevitably be hit while slashing the weeds.

Gapar shouted, and a strong wind began to blow, his beard and robes fluttering wildly with the gale, his presence fully charged.

With a swing of his sword, everyone seemed to witness a blanket of sword flashes.

But just as the Sword Saint performed his unparalleled grass-cutting, Leon felt something was amiss.

"No, the tombstones must not be damaged!"

By the time he realized this, it was too late, and the debris of grass and tombstone fragments flew all around.

Why can’t the tombstones be damaged? Has anyone mentioned such a thing?

This is Leon’s intuition; too many abnormal things have appeared in the Sain Dungeon that he has to consider everything carefully.

Originally, when Holy Light Knight Albud kicked a bonfire, it summoned three newborn Avatars.

Indeed, bonfires must hold special significance within the Sain Dungeon, but what about tombstones? Each one commemorates the deceased, doesn’t it? What if destroying them also...

But when hundreds of meters of weeds and tombstones were cleared away, nothing happened.

Gapar sheathed his sword, very satisfied with his handiwork.

In his era, it was popular to clear all obstacles from the Dungeon, because Monsters often liked to attack from blind spots.

The remnants of Monster bones on the ground proved that his approach was correct; there indeed were Monsters hiding inside.

The tombstones here were grouped together tightly, which looked odd as if one could hunker down behind them and use them like a wall to block enemy attacks.

Gapar patted Leon on the shoulder and said, "Don’t make a fuss, young man. The Dungeon isn’t necessarily as complicated as you think."

Is that so...

Leon still felt something was off, but since nothing happened, he just followed along.

When they reached the very center of the Graveyard Plain, they suddenly heard a deep roar from afar.

Using a telescope, Drew saw a broken piece of wall far away with a giant perched atop.

The giant was raising his arms high, seemingly shouting something.

Then, one after another, illusory red Spiritual Bodies materialized, all holding bows and arrows, uniformly aiming at the group.

At first glance, the number of these Spiritual Bodies exceeded three figures!

"Oh God above..." Maru was stunned; over a hundred archers, was this firepower enough to besiege a city?

"[Mid-tier Barrier Skill]!"

Drew, with quick reflexes, swiftly cast a Magic Barrier, and just as he did, a dense Arrow Rain flew over, shattering the barrier in an instant!

"Bring it on!"

A sky full of shimmering lights twinkled, Gapar displayed his exquisite skill at this moment, facing the Arrow Rain on his own!

"Hahaha, this Dungeon is indeed interesting, actually conjuring so many archer Monsters!"

The Sword Saint’s fighting spirit was surging, he now understood, the challenge left for them was to charge through the Arrow Rain and slay the giant.

This was something only top experts could achieve, no wonder the outside world said the Sain Dungeon was incredibly difficult.

The more difficult it was, the stronger Gapar’s desire to conquer, he shouted loudly:

"Listen up, you guys, I can keep you safe right here, let’s charge through the Arrow Rain, and take down the Summoner!"

This was indeed a viable method, but they were several hundred meters away from the Summoner, and the Arrow Rain was unending, how long would they have to fight?

Something’s not right, why would the Sain Dungeon set up such an underworld trap? Without the strength of a Sword Saint, it would be impossible to get past this challenge.

Such a discouraging start didn’t match with Sain’s usual style of increasing difficulty progressively.

Could it be that I’ve overlooked something?

Leon looked around, and he noticed broken tombstones lying on the ground, and upon closer inspection, there were many such tombstones scattered across the plain.

Wait, could it be!

He nearly ran out of breath.

Could it be that these tombstones and weeds were actually meant for them to use as cover!? The former to dodge arrows, and the latter to avoid the giant’s gaze.

But what had they done?

They destroyed their own safe zones!

At that moment, Leon felt once again the feeling of being dominated by the Sain Dungeon.

But on second thought, no normal person would choose to clear away all the weeds and tombstones...

It’s all because Gapar’s stats are too high.
