Chapter 455: The Crawling City
Chapter 455: The Crawling City
"Ling Zhan, restrain your killing intent."
The teacher beside him also softly reminded.
Only then did Ling Zhan realize.
No wonder these students were all looking at him with fear.
It turned out that after killing too freely in the Poison Mist Mountain Range, he had momentarily forgotten to restrain his unintentional killing intent.
"Alright, these three dungeon instances before you are the ones you reserved. Actually, you don't need to make a reservation; hardly anyone enters them nowadays anyway."
The teacher smiled and said.
The three gates standing before Ling Zhan represented three Level 60 dungeon instances.
The Crawling City.
Purgatory.
Alien Nest.
Entering each dungeon instance requires spending 100,000 points from the Tianyan Ranking.
This is also why Ling Zhan applied for outdoor map resources.
He needed to reach Level 60 to qualify for these dungeon instances.
"He went in!"
"So decisive, no hesitation at all..."
Under the watchful eyes of many classmates, Ling Zhan didn't hesitate or show any fear; he directly pushed open the door of the first dungeon instance, 'The Crawling City.'
"Sigh! We're both freshmen, but he's already tackling Level 60 dungeons effortlessly, and I'm still struggling with Level 25 ones!"
"Freshman, don't say anything, man. I'm a sophomore and currently researching Level 40 dungeon strategies; what did I even say?"
"Do you think this guy will break the clearance records of these three dungeons again?"
"Probably not, right? After all, these three dungeons are ridiculously hard!"
"I actually think he can break the records! He's been speed-running Poison Mist Mountain Range and Thunder Pool Ruins with ease!"
"You make a good point; the odds of breaking the records are pretty high!"
"Not pretty high, it's a certainty!"
"..."
Originally recruiting teammates for dungeons and discussing strategies.
Everyone's attention had shifted entirely to discussions about this non-specialist's dungeon runs.
"The single-player best record for The Crawling City is 12 minutes and 32 seconds!"
"The single-player best record for Purgatory is 11 minutes and 21 seconds!"
"The single-player best record for Alien Nest is 25 minutes and 41 seconds!"
"All these records are held by our student council president, Li Chaoge."
As someone reported the best record times.
The students present couldn't help but turn to look at the large clock on the main hall wall.
Silently calculating how long it would take for the other party to break the records.
"By the way, where's President Li Chaoge? Why isn't he here?"
"I heard he went back to visit his mother."
"..."

[Dungeon Description: It is said that within the dimensional rift lies a twisted city inhabited by eerie creatures that crawl through space. Brave warriors, beware of their claws reaching out from the void...]
Still opting for the Hell difficulty solo challenge.
Upon seeing the dungeon description.
A slight smile curved at the corner of Ling Zhan's mouth.
Dimensional rift.
Twisted city.
Spatial crawling.
All these highlighted the characteristics of this dungeon instance.
It was certainly related to space.
Coincidentally...
Ling Zhan had just acquired the S-rank talent 'Space Domination.'
It could only be described as a perfect setup.
The spatial teleportation didn't cause Ling Zhan the slightest dizziness.
As he formally stepped into this space, before he could even cast his gaze around, he felt extreme malice coming his way!
Swoosh!
Without any warning.
A sharp spear silently emerged from the space behind Ling Zhan, thrusting fiercely towards his head!
Due to the excessive motion of this attack.
The monster wielding the spear completely emerged from the void!
It was a cockroach monster clad in black armor!
Its sharp and menacing fangs were terrifying to behold.
The green saliva oozing from its huge mouth was utterly disgusting!
More chillingly...
Its lower body was that of a wriggling maggot!
A grotesque fusion of cockroach and maggot!
Splurt!
It felt the success of its surprise attack, piercing through the human's head!
Hee hee!
These humans are such fools!
It had lost count of how many times it successfully used this surprise move to kill challengers.
Whoosh!!
Without hesitation, it leaped out from the void, baring its disgusting fangs at the human figure to devour him!
And at this moment, it wasn't the only monster making a move!
The cockroach-maggot monsters lurking around, ready to strike, couldn't wait to pounce upon seeing their companion kill the target so effortlessly.
So, in an instant, hundreds of disgusting cockroach-maggot monsters rushed out!
If anyone, especially girls, saw this scene.
They'd probably faint from sheer disgust.
Crack!
The moment these cockroach-maggot monsters bit into the human body.
Hmm!?
This texture...
Something's off!
It wasn't the texture of human flesh!
They hastily released their grip and tried to burrow back into the wriggling space!
Gotta admit...
These monsters live up to the Level 60 dungeon status.
They possessed high intelligence.
The instant they sensed something wrong, they decisively tried to retreat!
Unlike lower-level monsters that would just stand there dumbfounded!
However...
Too late.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!!
As they tried to re-enter the wriggling space, their heads slammed against the spatial barrier!
Hmm!?
Their eyes, glimmering with black light, widened in disbelief as they tried using their 'Spatial Dig' skill again.
But once again, they slammed against the wall with a bang!
This...
Someone had sealed off this wriggling space using superior spatial authority!
Realizing this.
An icy cold sense of imminent death filled their hearts!
The next moment.
Boom!!
A massive fireball, even more potent than 'Starfire Explosion,' suddenly appeared in the center of the space, erupting and unleashing a sea of destructive flames!
The entire wriggling space shook violently from the blast!
Squeak, squeak, squeak!
The disgusting cockroach-maggot monsters screeched as the roaring flames engulfed them.
The terrifying fire, capable of melting everything, not only burned their bodies but also inflicted excruciating spiritual pain.
In less than a second.
The mass of disgusting cockroach-maggot monsters was engulfed in the vast sea of flames.
