Chapter 30: Treasures in the Underground Cave, Easy Muscles and Bones

Lin Kong's actions spoke for themselves, clearly signaling his choice.

"It seems you've chosen to be our enemy," Wang Hui said, his mouth twitching slightly. He drew out a rapier, which glowed with a golden light that covered his entire body and even his weapon.

[Holy War Light: SSS level, all damage is converted into 100% true damage. When damage is dealt, the same amount of shield value is obtained, which does not exceed 500% of its own HP.]

This was his talent—a perfect blend of offense and defense. Wang Hui was a swordsman, while Void Zero was a warrior. The two made a formidable pair.

Void Zero was the first to use a control skill.

[The Sun Crystal has purified the "Tier B taunting effect", cooling down for 5 minutes.]

Flash of Light! As Void Zero released the taunt, Wang Hui suddenly moved to Lin Kong, stabbing three times with his sword at the speed of light.

-548! -548! -548!

Lin Kong's health bar changed slightly.

"What?!" Wang Hui was dumbfounded. The confident look on his face disappeared instantly. Based on the change in Lin Kong's health bar and his own damage output, Wang Hui realized that Lin Kong's HP was over 50,000!

Level 10 professionals couldn't have that much health. There was only one explanation: Lin Kong had consumed an incredible number of pills.

"You... how many pills did you take?!" Wang Hui asked, his face turning ugly.

"Not much, just a few dozen," Lin Kong grinned.

"You—!" Anger flared in Wang Hui's eyes. He thought Lin Kong was mocking him. To reach 50,000 HP, at least 130 blood pills would be needed.

"Stop talking nonsense. Just go straight to hell!" Lin Kong said, decisively pulling the trigger of his crossbow.

Frost Shot! Precision Shot! General attack!

Eleven arrows flew from the string, instantly hitting Wang Hui's heart.

-5251! -2364! -1761! ...

Wang Hui, having consumed a dozen blood pills himself, had about 10,000 HP. Faced with Lin Kong's onslaught, he didn't last a second.

[If you kill teammate "Y0451", the faction points will be -10.]

[You absorb 75 points of root bone.]

Void Zero was stunned. "5...5000+ spell damage?" His face turned pale. Even with his talent fully stacked, his maximum spell defense could only reach around 800 points. Lin Kong's damage far exceeded the upper limit for a level 10 professional.

Void Zero was at a loss. If he died now, he would fail the D-tier trial. As one of the heirs of the SSS-level Yassen family, known for their Titan Dragon lineage, he would be ridiculed and might even lose his status as a successor.

"Yongye, look..." Void Zero resisted the urge to grumble and tried to please Lin Kong. What responded to him was another barrage of arrows.

-1741! -1714! ...

Two seconds later, under the attack of 18 arrows, Void Zero's HP was emptied.

[If you kill teammate "Y0500", the faction points will be -10.]

[You absorb 70 root bones.]

Lin Kong then turned to look at Fuqishengcai. The fat man shivered and quickly waved his hands, "Brother, I have no ill intentions towards you! Please don't kill me."

"If you had malicious intentions, I wouldn't have let you live until now," Lin Kong said quietly. He walked over, picked up the treasure chests dropped by his two teammates, and then entered the cave.

Watching Lin Kong's back disappear, the fear in Fuqishengcai's heart gradually dissipated. He looked at the corpses of Void Zero and Wang Hui, cursing them, "You two bastards treated me like a dog. Now you've been punished by the Great God of Yongye! Serves you right!"

After venting, his inner resentment lessened. Fuqishengcai couldn't help but recall Lin Kong's battle prowess, thinking, "The Great God of Yongye is too powerful. If only I had that kind of strength..."

Deep envy filled his heart.

Inside the cave, Lin Kong opened the two treasure chests.

[You get: Plane Coin x3524, Streak of Light · Tier B, Healing Aura · Tier B, Taunt Ring · Tier A.]

"So many good things?!" Lin Kong was pleasantly surprised. Teammate loot was indeed more rewarding. He let his talent devour the two B-rank skill books.

[Your archery gets effect 5: arrow attack -5 points of physical defense, the upper limit is 940 points, and the effect clears after the battle.]

[Your archery gets effect 14: After the arrow attacks, restore 30 health points.]

He then looked at the properties of the ring.

[Taunt ring]

Quality: A

Level: 10

Bonus: Attack +25, Constitution +25, Agility +16, Spirit +20

Special effect: Taunt the enemy for 1 second, cool down for 20 seconds.

Occupation: General

A professional could carry two rings. Lin Kong put on the taunt ring and moved on. Soon, he reached the end of the cave and found a golden wooden box on a wooden table.

Lin Kong opened the box.

[You get: Yi Jin Dan·A rank, Withered Mysterious Tome·A rank, Withered Profound Sword·A rank.]

All A-rank items. Once Lin Kong took the wooden box out of this dungeon world, no future professionals would have the chance to obtain this hidden treasure.

"Hopefully, an extra 3x increase!" Lin Kong prayed silently and took the Yi Jin Dan.

[You trigger the Heaven and Earth Medicine Body, the medicine effect is +300%!]

A warm current flowed through his limbs and veins, bringing a feeling of relief. Lin Kong smiled as he saw the system prompt.

"Open the faction panel."

[Root bone: 1111 (temporary 1070 points)]

The Yi Jin Pill increased his root bone by a full 40 points.

"Good," Lin Kong exclaimed. He stored the Kuxuan Secret Tome in his backpack and returned to the ground.

The little fat man was still waiting.

"Big guy!" he exclaimed upon seeing Lin Kong.

"What are you doing here?" Lin Kong asked.

"Boss, the game is about to end. Can I follow you?" the fat man asked.

"Follow me?" Lin Kong frowned. The hidden treasure was already obtained, so having the fat man around didn't seem useful. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "You can follow me, but you have to tell me about your talent first."

"No problem," Fuqishengcai agreed decisively and explained his talent.

"These talents are quite useful. A-tier treasure hunting talents are very popular in the A-tier world," Lin Kong thought. However, Fatty's talent wasn't useful to him, as Lin Kong already knew the hidden rewards of various dungeon worlds from his dream memories.

"Let's go." They walked toward the center of the island. Along the way, they encountered more professionals and aborigines, whom Lin Kong killed at will. The head count soared, and he harvested a lot of root bones.

20 kills! 60 kills! ...100 kills!

[Because the number of kills reaches 200, you get a reward: 20 free attribute points, C-rank medal +1.]

[Your root bone has been raised to 2000 points, reaching the current physical upper limit.]

"It can't go higher?" Lin Kong felt a headache coming on. According to his dream memory, the aboriginal Tianjiao "Wanfeng" had 3000 root bones!

"No, to complete the hidden mainline, I have to get rid of Wanfeng. But where is this aboriginal named Wanfeng?"

His mind raced, trying to find a solution. Then he glanced at Fuqishengcai.

"Correct!" Lin Kong had an idea. He immediately asked, "If I tell you the details of a treasure, can you find its location?"

"Sure," Fuqishengcai replied. "After I activate my talent, I will get the basic information of the treasure and its corresponding location."

"Very good!" Lin Kong had detailed information on "Wanfeng," including all his equipment. He relayed this information to the fat man.

"God, leave it to me. I will find him for you," Fuqishengcai assured. Lin Kong followed behind him, searching for Wanfeng's trail. As the island gradually sank, the movable area shrank, and soon, Fuqishengcai got a clue.
