Chapter 271

That they were actually arguing inside the dungeon.

However,

even if he knew, Li Yao wouldn't take it to heart.

After this time,

Li Yao would have

no further interaction with them.

Arriving outside,

the bell tolling for the record-breaking had just ceased.

Li Yao and Shang Shang Yana were startled by the sea of people.

Li Yao was fine, recovering quickly.

Shang Shang Yana was truly frightened.

There were too many people,

and they were too enthusiastic!

The compliments and congratulations were endless.

Li Yao could only wait a moment.

After they calmed down a little,

he spoke:

"Two hours later, there are eighteen spots left."

"Those interested can apply to join the team."

Large dungeons require two hours to refresh their cooldown.

Immediately, countless people surged toward Shang Shang Yana.

It wasn't that they didn't want to queue;

there were simply too many people, and there was no space to queue at all!

"Me, me, me!"

"Captain Li Yao, look at me; I didn't get in on the last batch!"

"Get aside! I was here first!"

"Captain Li Yao, choose me; I can provide you with bed-warming services!"

"Li Yao, I am the second son of the Wang family in the capital; I want to make friends with you, I hope you don't be ungrateful."

For a time,

the students scrambled to surround Shang Shang Yana,

fearing they would miss this opportunity.

Even Li Yao and Shang Shang Yana had never seen such a scene.

But Li Yao could roughly guess the reason.

Like 【Deep Sea Labyrinth】,

although Purgatory-tier is difficult, there are people who lead it,

and quite a few!

But 【Abyss Fortress】, before Li Yao, had only six teams that had cleared it in total.

It was impossible for anyone to lead a clear-out.

Li Yao was now the only one!

Not to mention the EXP, just that clear-out chest alone was worth spending two thousand points to try his luck!

Just when everyone was excited,

Li Yao suddenly said: "By the way,"

"I'll state it in advance: this time, I plan to lure out the hidden BOSS."

"I hope you consider it carefully before joining the team."

As soon as these words were spoken, the noisy scene instantly went quiet,

so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Those students who were squeezing for position in front of Shang Shang Yana

stopped their movements abruptly.

Everyone's gaze

was fixed on Li Yao in disbelief.

What did they hear?

Actively lure out the hidden BOSS?

That was a monster that even when Dean Xue led a team, accompanied by at least two SSS-tier professionals,

they had to flee in panic upon encountering it!

Even the other teams that had cleared it

were extremely careful after entering the dungeon!

Fearing they would trigger some mechanism and attract the hidden BOSS!

"Captain Li Yao, why don't you forget it?"

"That's right! That hidden BOSS is different from other dungeons; it's a monster that even Dean Xue has to avoid!"

"There's really no need to provoke it; isn't it better for us to just clear the dungeon peacefully?"

Everyone felt the urge to retreat.

As long as Li Yao didn't give up this idea,

no one dared to continue joining the team.

They could see Li Yao's clear time,

but unlike the students who followed Li Yao inside,

they couldn't intuitively feel Li Yao's strength.

They spoke up one after another to dissuade Li Yao.

Even those who didn't speak up

watched from afar, not daring to mention joining the team again.

Xue Xue Jiulan was both a dean and a general who guarded the country.

Furthermore, in her era,

she suppressed various SSS-tier professionals as an SS-tier professional and participated in the national border trial as a captain,

successfully bringing back the first crown for the Dragon Kingdom!

Most people chose Some Jingyu Academy

for Xue Xue Jiulan.

And the monster that even Xue Xue Jiulan couldn't clear or defeat

was naturally called a taboo-like existence!

For so many years,

no professional team had dared to touch its bad luck.

It was only Li Yao.

If anyone else had said these words,

they would certainly have been mocked,

with voices such as "overestimating oneself" or "seeking death while dragging others along"

definitely not being rare!

Since it was Li Yao,

the students also understood his thoughts.

Li Yao was Dean Xue's student,

wanting to defeat the monster that the teacher couldn't defeat back then.

Proving himself,

this was normal.

But at least he should wait until level 45, the dungeon's entry level cap,

and gather some extremely powerful teammates

to crusade together, right?

Challenging a hidden BOSS while still taking people?

It was simply a fantasy!

Li Yao scanned the area

and found that no one was willing to join the team,

all whispering something to each other.

He could hear those words,

but didn't take them to heart.

Since they weren't willing to come, he would go find acquaintances.

At this moment,

the students who had followed Li Yao into the dungeon just now

all came out of the dungeon.

As soon as they came out,

they found the atmosphere seemed a bit awkward.

They instantly associated it with

the fact that Captain Li Yao seemed to have said

he would inform them in advance to lure out the hidden monster.

These students were the same as them before!

They were all afraid to try!

Having experienced this dungeon trip,

Li Yao's inhuman combat power was displayed to the fullest before them.

Twenty Leaders, handled with ease!

Named-tier monster, didn't even last five minutes!

They completely believed

that Captain Li Yao had the strength to crusade against that monster known as "Taboo."

But!

The dozen or so people looked at each other,

and quite tacitly,

they didn't help Li Yao explain.

They had missed out on the benefits themselves,

so why should they let others enjoy them?

They couldn't get the hidden BOSS's extra rewards!

Then no one should get them!

Making wedding clothes for others

was more painful than killing them!

Someone put on a look of worry for Li Yao

and spoke up to console him:

"Captain Li Yao, we are also doing this out of kindness; we don't want to see you take risks."

"Otherwise, who wouldn't want the hidden BOSS rewards?"

"But that monster is really not something an ordinary person can deal with!"

"Captain Li Yao can completely rely on the large number of summoned beasts to quickly power-level the dungeon and get points to buy the equipment materials you want."

"Isn't that much safer than crusading against the hidden BOSS!"

As soon as these words were spoken,

the atmosphere at the scene went silent again.

Was the faster clear speed compared to others

due to the large number of summoned beasts?

This group of people had just come out of the dungeon,

which was the batch Li Yao led.

If they all said so, it shouldn't be wrong!

Of course,

the time gap could be so large,

so Li Yao's strength certainly couldn't be underestimated!

But it was still a long way off

from challenging that hidden BOSS!

No!

Absolutely must not join the team!

In everyone's hearts, such thoughts emerged in unison.

If they didn't join,

Li Yao wouldn't be able to enter the dungeon.

If he wanted to level up,

he would naturally have to change his mind.

Looking at the changes in everyone's expressions,

Li Yao knew

that trying to recruit people again would probably be difficult.

Li Yao turned back and looked at the person who spoke just now,

roughly guessing his intentions.

Shang Shang Yana also frowned slightly.

What was this person's name again?

She had to go tell her sister

and let her handle it!

Neither of them intended to deal with this person now.

Evil people have their own evil people to grind them.

Once he killed that hidden BOSS,

these people—

these first-batch students—

would have plenty of people

to teach them what "disaster comes from the mouth" means!

Especially

those students who had a glimmer of thought but were dissuaded by this group.

Missing out on the hidden BOSS rewards,

this chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading!

They would always need to find a punching bag, right?

"Let's go first; I'll go call some friends," Li Yao said. "It just so happens that the refresh cooldown takes two hours."

"Okay."

The two were just about to leave when

Li Yao's pouch suddenly vibrated.
