Chapter 87: If Successful, He Will Make History

Lin Moyu quickly pulled Shu Han aside.

A knight in full armor walked by with a fierce expression.

If Lin Moyu hadn't acted fast, he might have bumped into Shu Han.

Many people followed behind him.

The knight was burly, nearly two meters tall, giving off a strong sense of pressure.

He glanced at Lin Moyu disdainfully.

Then he arrogantly raised his head, "Our Baili Academy is running Tyrant Desert dungeon today. We'll definitely set a new record."

Dozens of people behind him cheered in response.

The Tyrant Desert record had stood for four years, set by Flying Dragon Academy.

No one creating a new record in four years showed how difficult Tyrant Desert was.

Shu Han whispered, "There have been rumors that Baili Academy was going to run Tyrant Desert these past few days."

"They say they're fully prepared. Several core members have kept their levels at 30."

"Some higher level academy students even prepared full sets of gold equipment for them."

Lin Moyu understood their thinking.

Setting a new record would not only earn lots of points and contribution points, but was also an honor.

Academy students would strive for this honor.

It could also be a stepping stone to entering top academies.

The knight, representing Baili Academy, loudly announced they would challenge Tyrant Desert and break Flying Dragon Academy's four-year-old record.

Then he looked down at Lin Moyu, "Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

Lin Moyu didn't move, showing no intention of giving way.

"I was here first," he said calmly, not giving face.

The knight frowned, "Do you want to run the dungeon with us? Sorry, we have a mission this time. We can carry you next time."

Lin Moyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

This guy's ego was too big - when had he ever asked to be carried?

Seeing Lin Moyu still not moving, the knight frowned, feeling awkward and embarrassed.

He felt Lin Moyu was so annoying.

But with hundreds of eyes watching in the Dungeon Hall, he couldn't do anything to Lin Moyu.

If he won't move, so be it.

He shouted angrily, "Everyone get ready to enter the dungeon."

Just as he finished speaking, Lin Moyu said to Shu Han, "I'm going in."

Shu Han nodded, "Be careful."

Lin Moyu disappeared, and the Tyrant Desert vortex lit up.

Indicating someone was inside - Lin Moyu had really entered.

The knight's mouth twitched, "Is this kid trying to cause trouble? Going in alone is suicide."

Suddenly, the whole Dungeon Hall buzzed with excitement.

"Wow, he really went in!"

"Daring to solo Tyrant Desert, he must be a true expert."

"I've never heard of anyone soloing a large dungeon."

"If he succeeds, he'll make history."

"It's very difficult. I don't think it's possible. I've been to Tyrant Desert once - it's too dangerous. One wrong move and you're dead."

"It might be impossible for others, but hard to say for him."

The Baili Academy knight's mouth twitched.

Their Baili Academy team was fully prepared to set a new record.

Yet no one paid attention to them, instead focusing on this solo kid.

He saw Lin Moyu was only wearing silver equipment.

While he had a full set of gold equipment.

At this moment, all the Baili Academy members felt awkward.

The knight noticed their momentum faltering and knew they couldn't wait any longer.

"Enter the dungeon!" he shouted.

The Baili Academy students rushed over and teleported into the dungeon.

Before entering, the knight glanced at the light screen, "16 hours 45 minutes 18 seconds. I'll definitely break this record."

As a large level 25 dungeon, Tyrant Desert had higher fees.

Lin Moyu paid 500 points to enter.

Removing the cooldown would cost 2000 points.

Repeatedly running this dungeon would cost 2500 points each time, 10,000 points for 4 runs.

Lin Moyu realized his remaining 120,000 points might not last long.

Points were used up so quickly.

"Hope the reward for breaking the record is good."

Hot wind swept up clouds of yellow sand.

The blazing sun overhead, scorching sunlight, and rising temperature all indicated the harsh environment.

Sand dunes in the distance blocked the view.

Lin Moyu found himself in a basin surrounded by sand dunes.

Large numbers of skeleton warriors appeared, 125 in total, quickly spreading out in all directions.

A map formed in Lin Moyu's mind.

He climbed a sand dune and saw an endless desert.

There was no sense of direction.

The blazing sun hung directly overhead, unable to provide guidance.

This was a dungeon, not the real world.

The sun overhead wouldn't move, so it couldn't indicate direction.

East, south, west, north - indistinguishable.

"Based on the 16 hour record, this dungeon must be unprecedentedly large."

Just as he was thinking, a skeleton warrior sent a warning.

Enemy encountered!

A withered branch suddenly sprang from the sand and entangled the skeleton warrior.

But with 12,000 strength, the skeleton warrior easily cut through the branch with its blade.

Then a huge tree burst out of the sand.

The tree was 10 meters tall with countless branches, frantically whipping at the skeleton warrior.

The skeleton warrior's blade swung non-stop, branches flying everywhere. In moments, only the trunk remained, barely alive.

Lin Moyu arrived and used Detection before the tree died.

[Desert Ghost Tree (Super Enhanced Elite Monster)]

[Level: 25]

[Strength: 5000]

[Agility: 1000]

[Spirit: 2000]

[Constitution: 6000]

[Skill: Death Entanglement]

These attributes were very close to the pre-upgrade skeleton warriors.

Even stronger than the boss-level giant python in the Mermaid dungeon.

"As expected of a large dungeon."

"Just a normal monster is comparable to the level 24 boss in the Mermaid dungeon."

"If the skeleton warriors hadn't upgraded, this would be troublesome."

With the previous bronze-grade skeleton warriors' 6200 in all attributes,

Dealing with it wouldn't be a problem, just take some effort.

Like fighting a boss, requiring more hits.

Not as easy as now.

After seeing its attributes, Lin Moyu had a general idea of the dungeon monsters.

[Killed Desert Ghost Tree]

[Obtained Ghost Tree Branch x5]

Not only were the attributes boss-level, but the experience too.

Killing one gave 300,000 experience, quite a lot.

At this point, skeleton warriors encountered enemies continuously, all Desert Ghost Trees.

This sandy area seemed to be Desert Ghost Tree territory.

There were many, hidden in the sand, attacking when someone passed by.

Skill: Bone Armor!

Lin Moyu pressed his palm down, equipping himself with Bone Armor.

A set of bone armor appeared on his body, gleaming silver-white in the sunlight.

He let the skeleton warriors scout ahead.

Iron-grade skeleton warriors had a 500 meter control range.

Bronze-grade reached 1000 meters.

Now at silver-grade, the range was 2000 meters.

Lin Moyu advanced along the path cleared by skeleton warriors.

More and more areas were explored.

The map in Lin Moyu's mind became more complete.

An hour had passed, and Lin Moyu's explored area grew larger.

Yellow sand everywhere, nothing else.

Just sand and Desert Ghost Trees, no other monsters encountered.

After two hours of exploration, something different finally appeared in his mind.

Water...

Water was found.

Lin Moyu hurried over.

Standing on a sand dune, he saw an oasis.

The oasis waterway extended into the distance, winding far away.

Without hesitation, he recalled skeleton warriors from other directions.

Large numbers of skeleton warriors instantly appeared before him.

Then they charged towards the oasis.

An oasis appearing in the desert surely meant danger.

Skeleton warriors led the way.

Just as they reached the oasis edge.

Whoosh!

The oasis erupted in a huge splash.

Then many scorpion-like creatures burst out of the oasis.

Lin Moyu wasn't worried at all. He was still on the sand dune, not having gone down.

Detection swept past like a gentle breeze.

[Oasis Giant Scorpion]

[Level: 25]

[Strength: 4000]

[Agility: 3000]

[Spirit: 2000]

[Constitution: 6000]

[Skill: Poison Sting]

Each giant scorpion was two meters tall, over five meters long including the tail.

The tail had a huge poison stinger, looking terrifying.

Not just one stinger, but arranged like flower petals.

Emitting an eerie blue glow in the sunlight.

Over a hundred Oasis Giant Scorpions charged at the skeleton warriors.

The skeleton warriors were fearless, raising their blades.

Other teams would approach the oasis cautiously when nearing it.

Luring monsters bit by bit, surrounding and killing them.

Unlike Lin Moyu's simple and brutal approach.

Ten skeleton warriors swung their blades simultaneously, using skills.

Skill: Berserk Strike!

Attacking with triple their strength attribute, unleashing berserk strikes.

The red-glowing blades obscured the sunlight.

An Oasis Giant Scorpion screamed miserably, instantly killed.

[Killed Oasis Giant Scorpion]

[Obtained Sharp Tail Stinger x3]

Two seconds later, the other Oasis Giant Scorpions had gathered.

Lin Moyu raised his palm.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!
