Chapter 12: Xu Yan, Have You Escaped From The Dungeon?
The three hell wolves had yet to even land when they were forcibly held in mid-air...
The golden light flickering around them, meant to symbolize their hegemonic ability, was completely useless against the tree world!
At this moment, the teammates were completely convinced.
Their understanding of reality had been shattered.
Everything they had been taught in textbooks might as well be thrown away.
What was physical dominance?
What was resistance?
Bullshit.

The teammates snapped out of their daze, pulled out their weapons, and climbed up the giant tree.
They skillfully maneuvered behind the three hell wolves and began to attack wildly.
-13!
-13!
-11!
-11!
-12!
-12!

The stonemason smashed the BOSS's butt with a series of strikes and swallowed hard.
"If my classmates knew I was actually fighting the Level 5 Hell Dungeon BOSS, they'd go insane on the spot."
The tailor attacked with a pair of scissors, snipping at the BOSS's fur.
"Forget just fighting it—we're actually about to kill the damn thing!"
The chef, still feeding Xu Yan like mad, teared up.
"The first kill of the Level 5 Hell BOSS... My classmates always laughed at me for being useless, but I really want to see their faces now."
---
Meanwhile, the three hell wolves were getting pummeled.
They refused to believe that such an absurd control skill could last forever.
"Just wait until the effect wears off!"
"When it does, I'll tear these bugs apart!"
To play it safe, Xu Yan decided not to even give it a chance.
He immediately activated his second tree world before the first one even expired.
---
Double tree world control.
Seamless.
Within seamless.
---
At this point, the three hell wolves were completely dumbfounded.
"Wait, what!?"
How the hell was it possible for two of these insane control skills to exist at the same time!?
They tried to struggle...
Nothing.
They activated their dominance ability...
Nothing.
For the first time, the BOSS realized the terrifying truth.
It. Could. Not. Move.
---
A few hours later, the three hell wolves were on their last breath.
In a desperate final move, they activated their ultimate skill—
Hell Wolf Clone!
Dozens of clones suddenly split off from the BOSS's body!
As long as even one of them could break free, these humans would die instantly!
But before they could even take a step, every single clone was controlled again.
The three hell wolves' eyes widened in horror.
"This... This isn't possible..."
At this moment, they truly understood.
This farmer… is not human.

The First Hell Dungeon BOSS Kill in History
At last, under the combined attacks of the four teammates, the three hell wolves fell heavily to the ground.
The sky flickered with data streams, calculating the team's final clearance results.
The teammates stared in disbelief.
"Did we really... kill the three hell wolves?"
"Did we really just clear the dungeon?"
"This is the big BOSS of the Level 5 Hell Dungeon. Wang Ke's team didn't even dare challenge it, and we, a team of life professions, just took it down!?"
"This... This feels like a dream."
---
At that moment, a system prompt appeared in Xu Yan's mind.
[Ding! Tree World Descent Proficiency has reached 100%! ]
[Can summon four tree worlds at the same time!]
Xu Yan's eyes lit up.
"One skill as four? Hell yeah!"
---
Then, another prompt popped up.
[Ding! Tree World Descent is evolving... Expected completion time: 24 hours...]
Xu Yan froze.
"Wait, it can evolve!?"
He had no idea what the evolution would bring, but it had to be good.
But that wasn't even the end of it.
[Ding! Congratulations on clearing Wild Wolf Lair! System mission completed.]
[A rare-quality weapon blind box has been added to the inventory!]
Xu Yan couldn't wait—he immediately opened the blind box.
Inside was a massive black scythe, its blade sharp and curved like the Grim Reaper's own weapon.
[Mowing Sickle]
Rare Quality
Level Requirement: 10
Attack Power: +1000
All Attributes: +250

Xu Yan grinned.
"This scythe is MADE for me."

The Ultimate Score—Breaking the Rankings
Meanwhile, stonemason Bai Ding began collecting materials.
Three pairs of perfect hell wolf fangs.
Three wolf souls.
The success rate was nearly 100%, shocking everyone.
"Three hell wolf souls!? These things are worth a fortune!"
"Bai Ding, how the hell did you do this!?"
Bai Ding looked confused.
"I... have no idea?"
Xu Yan smirked.
"With Bai Ding increasing loot drops and Gao Yang supplying mana, my dream team is complete."
---
Soon, the dungeon countdown ended.
The teleportation light enveloped them, and the team was returned to the real world.
Their final score appeared on the leaderboard.
Final Score: 38,000 Points!
Rank: 1st Place
For comparison—
Zhang Hao's Team (2nd place): 8,000 Points
Wang Ke's Team (1st place before Xu Yan): 15,000 Points
They had doubled Wang Ke's top score and almost quintupled Zhang Hao's.
The teammates stared in shock.
"Wait… We actually got that many points?"
"We crushed Wang Ke!?"
"Isn't he an A+ ranked lightning mage!? His team is all combat professions! And we... we just wrecked them!?"
"Hahaha! Imagine Zhang Hao's face when he sees he dropped to third place!"
"I can't WAIT to see the reactions!"
---
Meanwhile, Outside the Dungeon…
The memorial service was reaching its climax.
Squad leader Wu Dalong delivered a heartfelt speech, recalling memories of Xu Yan.
As the students released white doves into the sky, symbolizing farewell to their lost friends...
A sudden flash of blue light appeared.
Xu Yan and his teammates stepped out of the dungeon—alive.
They froze in place.
The students stared in disbelief.
Xu Yan met Wu Dalong's eyes—both were utterly confused.
"Squad leader… What the hell are you doing?"
Wu Dalong's face twitched.
"Xu Yan… have you… escaped from the dungeon?"
