Chapter 122: How Could There Be a Stain on Me

After Lin Moyu left, Zhou Lesheng and his group finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They had felt like there was a knife at their throats, almost thinking they were going to die.

In their minds now, they only had one feeling - Lin Moyu was too terrifying.

This person didn't talk much.

But his actions were very frightening.

Especially his skeletons, not only numerous but also shockingly powerful.

Though only level 23, he could overwhelm their entire team of level 30s, leaving them unable to move.

Moreover, their team had a legendary career Holy Light Knight. Even Zhou Lesheng was very afraid at the time.

Even a level 36 Abyss demon was easily slaughtered. What was he in comparison?

As a Holy Light Knight, a legendary career holder, Zhou Lesheng didn't think he could stop the skeletons even counting all his aura skills.

Yielding and survival were his instinctive reactions.

But while yielding, Zhou Lesheng also felt humiliated.

A mighty legendary career holder, in full gold equipment, a level 30 Holy Light Knight, afraid of a level 23 youngster.

If this got out, it would be utterly humiliating, the biggest stain on his life.

"I should be standing above the clouds, basking in everyone's admiring gaze. How could there be a stain on me?"

With complex emotions intertwined, hatred flashed in Zhou Lesheng's eyes as he stared at Lin Moyu's back, "You'll kneel before me sooner or later, begging for my forgiveness."

He had this confidence.

The Holy Light Knight career development meant stronger skills at higher levels.

He was only just starting out now.

Moreover, he still had a chance to advance further, ascending his career again.

He saw Lin Moyu holding Ning Yiyi's hand. Jealousy mixed with his hatred, "You'll be mine sooner or later too. I'll let you know who the real strong one is."

Lin Moyu had reached Shi Xing'an's group, "Is everyone okay?"

Shi Xing'an patted his shield, "We're fine, thanks to this."

The Outpost set's boost was too powerful. The damage reduction alone greatly increased Shi Xing'an's combat effectiveness.

The team had some minor injuries, but nothing serious. They had already recovered under Liang Yue's healing.

With the Abyss Dog Demon killed and the Hellhounds cleared out, the battlefield returned to normal.

After a while, the corpses would sink completely into the ground.

Then it would be as if nothing had happened.

The earth buried the past, day after day, year after year.

No one knew how many corpses were buried under this ancient land.

These corpses provided power to the earth, spawning monsters that wandered the Elemental Battlefield endlessly, impossible to fully exterminate.

Everyone returned to the dungeon entrance. Shi Xing'an still didn't leave.

Not just him, many teams that had just experienced the battle were the same, not leaving.

People sat together, rekindling campfires to dispel the mist.

Ning Yiyi had somehow mixed in with Liang Yue, the two whispering together.

Shi Xing'an polished his sword, "These Hellhounds are just the most insignificant pups from the Abyss, not even cannon fodder."

"That Abyss Dog Demon you killed can breed large numbers of Hellhounds. Sometimes when there are too many, the Hellhounds leave the Abyss for the Elemental Battlefield to harass career holders here, though it's just harassment."

"Actually, we've encountered this kind of thing several times."

"If you stay in the Elemental Battlefield long enough, you'll run into it sooner or later."

"It's just that this time the numbers were larger, and the key was that Abyss Dog Demon appearing. Otherwise, breaking out wouldn't have been difficult for us."

Listening to Shi Xing'an's description, Lin Moyu was slightly puzzled, "Aren't there high-level career holders in the depths of the Elemental Battlefield? How could those Hellhounds get past them to come here?"

Their current location was actually close to the Eternal Great Wall, more towards human territory.

The depths of the Elemental Battlefield were where high-level human career holders operated.

That was the real main battlefield.

Lin Moyu couldn't understand how the Hellhounds got past them to come here.

Shi Xing'an chuckled, "Have you participated in the university's large-scale trials?"

Lin Moyu nodded, "I have."

"The university's Divine Summer Tower can perform large-scale teleportation. The Abyss naturally can too."

Lin Moyu suddenly understood. How had he not thought of that?

Shi Xing'an set up a grill and took out food to start cooking, "But this kind of teleportation has limitations. It can only teleport Hellhounds. Higher-level demons can't come through. Like this Dog Demon, only one or two can occasionally be teleported."

"Anyway, in all my time here, I've only seen Dog Demons twice. This was the second time."

Lin Moyu could imagine.

If the Abyss side had teleportation abilities, humans would definitely counter it.

Otherwise, if they could freely teleport large numbers of demons over, there would be no need to fight. Humanity would have been wiped out long ago.

At this moment, the mist churned violently. Powerful auras emerged from within.

Shi Xing'an glanced over, "The Eternal Great Wall guards have arrived."

Zhou Lesheng's group had sent out a distress signal earlier.

After receiving the signal, the guards stationed at the Eternal Great Wall fortress rushed over.

Twelve people came in total, with a full complement of knights, warriors, mages, archers, and support.

Each person was over level 40, all high-level career holders.

Their combat power was very formidable.

Upon arrival, seeing the situation, they all showed shocked expressions.

Hellhound corpses covered the hills and plains.

At least five or six hundred bodies.

They ran to the dungeon entrance. The leading knight was stern and imposing, "Who sent the distress signal just now?"

Zhou Lesheng came forward, "I did."

He proactively took out his ID. After checking it, the knight looked at Zhou Lesheng a few more times.

Legendary career holders were rare. Such people would almost certainly become important figures in the future if they didn't die.

His tone improved, "What happened here? Did a powerful expert pass by?"

Zhou Lesheng didn't lie, recounting what had happened.

There was no point lying about this. Anyone could find out the truth by asking around.

The knight turned to look at Lin Moyu with surprise.

Lin Moyu's level and career were clear to his eyes.

How could a level 23 career holder possibly eliminate so many Hellhounds?

And he also saw the Dog Demon's corpse.

It was indeed a Dog Demon.

Though hard to believe, the facts were before his eyes.

After asking Zhou Lesheng a few more questions, he turned and came before Lin Moyu, immediately noticing the badge on his shoulder.

Already a five-star private.

It took 500 military merits to become a five-star private.

Everything else could be faked, but not the military badge. It proved he had indeed killed many Hellhounds.

"Young man, you're very impressive."
