Chapter 510: Hidden Dragon’s Disciple

The monster density in the Sin Canyon area was far less than the previous beast tide in the Sin Forest. However, the monster respawn speed was fast, which was an extremely great advantage of the Sin Canyon.

Zhang Yue had just finished clearing the Sin Envoys in one area and then moved on to the next.

By the time the monsters in the second area were cleared out, the Sin Envoys in the previous area had already fully respawned and revived.

Here, Zhang Yue wasn't worried at all about the entire map being cleared and creating a gap where there were no monsters to farm.

No matter how fast his farming speed was, the respawn speed of the Sin Envoys could definitely keep up with Zhang Yue's needs.

And just as Zhang Yue was madly slaughtering Sin Envoys in the Sin Canyon... Suddenly, a figure burst in.

Wearing flame armor and wielding a longsword, the person's killing of the Sin Envoys was very fluent.

That guy was precisely Hidden Dragon.

Hidden Dragon lured three Sin Envoys at once with a few moves.

Then, like a Soul Dancer, he jumped back and forth among the three Sin Envoys, the longsword in his hand slashing in an orderly fashion onto the enemies.

His movements, though seemingly clumsy, were actually agile, constantly dodging the attacks of the Sin Envoys while seizing opportunities to counterattack.

With a smooth set of operations, he alone managed to slay all three Sin Envoys.

Watching Hidden Dragon's operations, Zhang Yue was briefly dazed.

Because Hidden Dragon's figure reminded Zhang Yue of an old acquaintance...

After finishing the battle, Hidden Dragon suddenly stabbed one of the Sin Envoy corpses again. Only after confirming that the Sin Envoy was indeed dead did he begin to pick up the loot dropped beside it.

This scene shook Zhang Yue's heart even more.

At this moment, Hidden Dragon also noticed Zhang Yue nearby and smiled, saying, "I didn't steal your monsters, did I?"

Zhang Yue sized Hidden Dragon up and asked, "You came into the Gate of Immortality also for the Resurrection God Stone?"

"Yeah!", Hidden Dragon nodded, "That thing's worth two trillion. Who wouldn't be tempted?"

After a pause, Hidden Dragon continued, "But if there's a chance to get two of them at once, then we'll talk. If there's only one, I'll have to use it to save someone."

"Save who?"

"My master," Determination flashed in Hidden Dragon's eyes.

"Looks like you're really loyal to your master," Zhang Yue said.

Hidden Dragon carried his sword and replied, "Of course. My master was like a second parent to me! Unfortunately, he died in a disaster a few years ago. I must bring him back."

Indeed, Hidden Dragon had a bit of Hidden Dragon's shadow about him.

It wasn't hard to guess that the master Hidden Dragon spoke of was Hidden Dragon, Zhang Yue's disciple from a hundred years ago, Long Two.

And the reason Hidden Dragon caught Zhang Yue's attention and reminded him of Hidden Dragon was precisely because of this detail.

In Zhang Yue's memory, there was once a time when Hidden Dragon killed a boss. Just as he was about to pick up the loot, the boss, believed to be dead, suddenly revived and caught him off guard, killing Hidden Dragon instead.

Not only did he not get the loot, but he was counter-killed by the boss, losing both the girl and the army, so to speak.

After that, no matter when, Hidden Dragon would always, out of habit, give each enemy an extra strike after battle before picking up loot.

To prevent enemies from playing dead or zombie-like revivals.

Seeing that Long Two still had such a good disciple thinking of him at all times, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel comforted for Long Two.

At the same time, he also felt it a bit unbelievable.

The world was so big, and yet Zhang Yue happened to run into the disciple of his own disciple.

He wondered what Hidden Dragon would think if he knew that the person in front of him was his master's master.

At this moment, Zhang Yue said to Hidden Dragon, "Let's do it together. You go lure the monsters, I'll do the killing."

Since this relationship existed, Zhang Yue had no reason not to help Hidden Dragon out.

Once Long Two was resurrected, he'd have an explanation for him.

Facing an invitation from a god-level pro player like Zhang Yue, Hidden Dragon naturally had no reason to refuse.

He immediately agreed, "Sure! No problem!"

As he spoke, Hidden Dragon also called over his dozen or so teammates to help lure nearby monsters for Zhang Yue.

To Zhang Yue, although the Sin Envoys in Sin Canyon were numerous and respawned quickly, they were far too scattered in location.

Without someone to help lure monsters, Zhang Yue's personal farming speed would be greatly affected.

Although Hidden Dragon and the others weren't as efficient at luring monsters as Athena, they were still much faster than Zhang Yue working alone.

In no time, the group had lured a large wave of Sin Envoys.

BOOM!

With a single Hell Judgment skill from Zhang Yue, the entire group of Sin Envoys was instantly wiped out.

Seeing the monsters they had painstakingly lured over get wiped out by Zhang Yue in a mere instant, Hidden Dragon's teammates were all dumbfounded.

Hidden Dragon then shouted, "What are you all standing around for? Go lure more monsters!"

Everyone immediately sprang back into action.

As Hidden Dragon and the others lured monsters, Zhang Yue killed those they brought over.

At other times, he'd just go wherever the monsters were and kill them.

And Hidden Dragon's group was having a blast luring monsters.

Because the monsters they lured over and were then killed by Zhang Yue earned them 30% of the base participation rewards.

Even though it was only 30%, it was still way more profitable than them killing monsters themselves.

By their own speed, killing one Sin Envoy in 30 seconds was considered fast.

Now, no matter how many they lured, Zhang Yue could instantly wipe them out.

If they lured 10 monsters in 30 seconds, that was triple the earnings compared to solo farming.

It basically meant the faster they lured monsters, the higher their rewards.

So, their enthusiasm was unconsciously boosted.

Zhang Yue alone held up half the sky of the World 22.

Under Zhang Yue's large-scale slaughter, by noon, the activation progress bar of the Gate of Immortality had already reached 99.9%.

At this point, Zhang Yue stopped.

"Brother, why did you stop?", Hidden Dragon was puzzled.

Zhang Yue replied, "Logging off. Eating."

What could be more important than eating a good meal?

Only after eating well could he have the energy to go search for treasures in the Gate of Immortality, right?

So Zhang Yue crushed the return scroll and went back to the safe zone, immediately logging off.

Although the progress bar had frozen at 99.9%...

Without Zhang Yue around, no one else would be able to complete that last 0.1% for hours.

Others were still unaware.

Once the news of "the progress bar has surpassed 99%, the Gate of Immortality is about to open" spread, professional players from all over the world who were raiding the World 22 started flooding into the Death Domain, waiting for the Gate of Immortality to open.

But when they saw the progress bar, which had been increasing by 0.1% every ten seconds, suddenly stuck at 99.9% for over ten minutes without moving, they were all confused.

"What's going on? Why is it stuck?"

"Right when it was getting to the climax, it just stops! What the hell!"

"Damn, what happened?"

"What? The one pushing the progress bar logged off to eat???"

"..."
