Chapter 473

He posed no threat,

so they didn't pay much attention to him.

Li Yao was happy to be quiet, looking up at the summit, the place surrounded by fog.

"I remember, to enter the final BOSS cave in the Evil Land, you need to complete some tasks, right?"

Li Yao stepped up the mountain.

By now, Blue Bird had become familiar with Ahri,

treating Ahri as a mount and following behind Li Yao.

Kha'Zix remained hidden in the void, protecting Li Yao.

Tiger Beetle lurked underground, responsible for scouting the surroundings.

Li Yao stepped onto the mountain path.

The light dimmed instantly.

Tall coniferous trees were densely arranged, their branches and leaves interlaced, permeated with a layer of faint mist that blocked almost all sunlight.

【Ding! Dungeon task triggered!】

【The team must kill 0/100 Mountain Ridge Monsters to obtain the Evil Cave Key】

"As expected," Li Yao thought to himself.

As a popular large-scale dungeon, the Evil Land

allowed him to obtain some intelligence about it, more or less.

"Hmm, the smell of rot seems to have faded a lot."

"Is it these mists?"

"Rustle, rustle."

A sound of rapid friction against tree branches rang out.

Ahri instantly shielded Li Yao,

staring at the dense forest ahead with a solemn expression.

Li Yao shook his head and smiled.

It seems this little one hasn't adapted to its own strength yet!

Golden light flickered,

and a white light enveloped Ahri.

A young girl with an appearance not inferior to Kaisa appeared before Li Yao's eyes.

Nine fluffy snow-white tails wrapped around her.

She had deep purple hair and a pair of lively fox ears.

Her face was exquisite and flawless, with a few cat whiskers adding a touch of unique wildness.

Just by looking at her, Li Yao almost fell into the charm unique to Ahri.

"As expected of a fox," Li Yao withdrew his gaze.

It was also at this moment,

"Swish!"

A cyan scorpion covered in metal broke through the dense forest and appeared before Li Yao.

"Hiss, hiss, roar!"

The tail stinger flew toward him.

Ahri was faster.

The orb in her hand shot out toward the scorpion.

"Puchi!"

The sound of flesh breaking rang out.

The steel-like body was like a decoration;

it was like using a cannon to hit tofu—the body touched by the orb instantly exploded!

【- (Weakness Attack/Critical Strike!)】

"Swish!"

The orb returned, completely shattering the scorpion's body.

【- (Weakness Attack/True Damage!)】

Ahri's base Spirit attribute was 120, 00.

After the 【Far Away as Neighbors】 boost, it was 560, 00.

With the blessing of two hats, plus its own passive skills,

its Spirit attribute jumped to nearly 1. million.

Counting various damage-boosting equipment skills,

now,

to deal millions of damage,

it only needed a skill with a cooldown of just four seconds.

Killing this cyan scorpion instantly.

Ahri seemed very surprised,

dazed in place.

Li Yao chuckled, not caring,

and walked toward the summit.

Even a mosquito is meat, no matter how small.

The dungeon task required killing 100 monsters, which meant 100 Strength attributes.

He already understood Ahri's approximate damage.

Let Kha'Zix handle the subsequent hunting tasks.

Kha'Zix farming this level 70 dungeon

was like having a one-hit-kill cheat enabled;

any monster shattered at a touch.

Along the way,

Li Yao discovered that the drop rate and loot quality boosted by the Heavenly Dao rewards were truly exaggerated.

Dragon Country was at the top of the list, directly doubled!

Ordinary monsters could actually drop Silver-grade equipment!

And the drop rate wasn't low!

Basically, every three or five monsters would drop equipment.

In less than half an hour,

Li Yao climbed to the summit.

【Ding! Dungeon task completed!】

【Obtained Evil Cave Key!】

One hundred ordinary monsters actually dropped two pieces of Silver equipment and six pieces of Bronze equipment.

Li Yao couldn't help but gasp.

If this drop rate continued for a year,

wouldn't Dragon Country take off?

Li Yao suddenly thought,

because of Kujo Mise, the Sakura Country took the third seat in the national trial.

"Their boost rate seems to be 30%, right?"

"Wouldn't that be too cheap for them?" Li Yao felt a bit unhappy.

"There also seems to be a building called the 'Monster-Catching Tower'."

"Hmm?"

"Wait!"

Li Yao thought of the Tower of Breaking Limits still lying in his storage ring.

Building manifestation spiritual objects are held by the captain.

But the Sakura Country's captain, Kujo Lu Zai, had already been killed by Kujo Mise.

In other words,

the Monster-Catching Tower

was in the hands of the Sakura Country's sole survivor, Kujo Mise!

Li Yao felt completely refreshed,

and the air felt much fresher.

"That feels good."

Li Yao walked on a rock platform near the summit.

The surrounding fog was thick.

If viewed from the foot of the mountain, this was the place wrapped in that mist.

Directly in front of the rock wall, there was a dark, eerie cave.

It looked unobstructed and could be entered directly,

but in reality:

"Bang!"

A professional was kicked out of the cave entrance.

"Hahaha!"

The professionals who had arrived at the cave first burst into laughter.

"Hahaha,"

"this kid, he's already been kicked out of the team, and he still wants to enter the cave?"

"Young Master Xiao, I forgot to introduce you; this is Kong Kong Jiamu, the S-level professional working for you."

"This guy is low-level and wears a pile of rags, which is why he delayed things a bit."

"I don't know how an S-level professional ended up like this? Hahaha!"

Several people looked respectfully at the youth in luxurious equipment.

The youth looked arrogant and didn't even glance at the boy who had been bounced away.

Facing these compliments, he looked a bit impatient.

"I'll transfer your reward after we leave the dungeon."

"Enter the cave, don't waste my time, I'm in a hurry for the next run."

"Yes, yes."

Several professionals hurriedly accompanied the Xiao-surnamed youth toward the cave.

"Wait for me..."

The boy who had been bounced away by the cave formation endured the pain and climbed up.

His eyes were lifeless,

and his face was deathly pale from excessive mana consumption.

Those professionals just sneered and disappeared into the cave entrance.

Li Yao watched this scene from start to finish.

He thought of the scene at the Tower of Heaven where he was kicked out of the team by the merchants.

But he didn't have the habit of meddling in other people's business.

Exploring dungeons with tasks,

before forming a team to enter, one would sign a Heavenly Dao contract.

If you enter without signing a Heavenly Dao contract,

unless you are a close acquaintance,

you should be prepared to be cheated at any time!

If you aren't prepared and don't have enough strength, you rashly team up with others—

if they don't cheat you, who would they cheat?

Li Yao just glanced at the boy and walked straight toward the cave.

The cave could accommodate multiple teams.

The final BOSS would increase in difficulty according to the number of people raiding it.

As long as you solve the final BOSS, you can leave the Evil Land dungeon.

Just as Li Yao was about to step into the cave,

"Please wait a moment."

Kong Kong Jiamu's voice rang out from behind.

Li Yao turned back to look at him.

Only then did he notice that this boy named Kong Kong Jiamu had dark skin and was somewhat stunted and underdeveloped.

The equipment on his body

was even more indescribable.

Calling it rags would be an understatement.

A set of Black Iron equipment with its durability bottomed out—

taking it to an alchemist for repairs would be a waste of money!

It could only be sold cheaply as 'disposable' equipment.

Kong Kong Jiamu was covered in such disposable equipment.

If he hadn't misheard just now, was he actually an S-level professional?

Li Yao asked, "What is it?"

"Please... please take me into the cave. Don't worry, I don't want anything except experience," Kong Kong Jiamu said, his face somewhat unnatural. "I can help you fight monsters, I can leave the final blow to you."

After all, he didn't know the other party.

He just saw that the other party was prepared to enter the cave alone and would have extra space,

so it was like seeing someone rich and approaching them to seek charity.

Kong Kong Jiamu lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Li Yao's eyes,

stammering:

"The more people who enter the Evil Cave, the richer the experience points will be. Your experience will only be affected a little bit."

"I can help you finish the dungeon faster."

Li Yao just glanced at him indifferently:

"Why should I help you?"

"I..." Kong Kong Jiamu was stunned.

He had nothing, and wanted to make a promise, but didn't know where to start.
