Chapter 480

Seeing Li Yao seemingly examining the surroundings vigilantly,

Zhang Liyu smiled:

"Senior shouldn't have participated in a competitive dungeon before, right?"

"There is no danger for now."

"In a competitive dungeon, practitioners cannot attack each other; the only thing to watch out for is that lord-tier monster below."

At this time,

several students passed by, all rushing forward in a hurry, not even looking at Li Yao and them.

In large-scale dungeons, besides guarding against monsters, more danger actually came from practitioners of different teams.

Only in competitive dungeons could one see this situation.

"Let's go too."

Zhang Liyu led the way in front while explaining to Li Yao:

"The Core Jianyan Cave only has one BOSS. There is magma blocking the way in front, but for us practitioners, it's actually not difficult."

"After defeating the BOSS, rewards are obtained according to output ranking."

"Different from other places,"

"this BOSS has terrifyingly high endurance attributes and fire resistance. Wanting to solve the BOSS is actually a war of attrition; endurance, perseverance, and strength are all indispensable!"

"The BOSS doesn't attack?" Li Yao followed behind Zhang Liyu, jumping into a cave, and the surrounding temperature increased by another grade.

"How is that possible?" After jumping into the cave, Zhang Liyu took out two talismans and handed one to Li Yao.

"This is a cooling talisman. Although this temperature doesn't have much impact, it's quite uncomfortable."

Li Yao took it and activated it.

It was like entering an air-conditioned room in midsummer.

Refreshing!

Zhang Liyu continued: "Besides having extremely high endurance attributes, it's no different from other BOSSes; it will also attack, and the attack is terrifyingly high."

"But the Jingyu Martial Academy has set up long-term contribution tasks. Strong knight practitioners can take them. They are all professionals. With them there, we can output with peace of mind!"

"So that's how it is."

"Magma is coming, Senior, be careful."

Like an earthquake, the ground and rock walls shook. Cracks began to appear on the rock walls, and magma sprayed out from the cracks from time to time.

Magma cannot kill practitioners,

but it will hurt, and it will deduct health.

Staying in the magma for a long time will also kill you!

This could be considered the first test of the Core Jianyan Cave; without experiencing the baptism of magma, you are not qualified to stand in front of a lord-tier monster!

Zhang Liyu could set his sights on the border trial, so he was definitely a top-tier genius.

Not yet twenty years old, having been in Jingyu for one year, he was already at the vice-captain level!

Logically speaking, it should be Li Yao calling him senior.

If it weren't for being a fire-attribute hunter himself and being hard-countered by this Core Jianyan Cave, he wouldn't have had to spend money to find someone to clear it.

Therefore,

this magma was nothing to him!

Sacrificing two defensive skills was enough to move unimpeded in the magma.

"Pfft."

Magma sprayed on Li Yao.

Li Yao glanced at the scorched part.

As always,

he didn't feel any pain.

He was just looking for a chance to try

whether natural disasters like magma could ignore the Chess Player talent and hurt himself.

The result was obvious.

Zhang Liyu, however, was a bit stunned.

It was one thing for magma to spray on his clothes;

most equipment above platinum-tier could be immune to magma scorching.

But this Senior Li Yao

was washing his face with magma, so why was there no reaction at all?

"Same as you, defensive skills."

Li Yao explained with a smile.

Zhang Liyu smiled, not believing Li Yao's nonsense at all.

He didn't feel any energy fluctuations at all.

He could only guess that the endurance attributes were far beyond the ordinary.

He was indeed a fierce man who could fight a thousand alone!

A Summoner with such high endurance attributes,

is this even fair?

Soon,

the two crossed the magma tunnel and arrived inside a wide cave.

It was very bright here, and the surroundings were magma pools formed by flowing magma.

Because Li Yao and them didn't rush,

many students had already gathered here, waiting for the BOSS to refresh.

"Alright, just wait here for a while."

"The BOSS will refresh after all practitioners have arrived."

"Our opponents this week are Bear Kingdom practitioners. Their strength is average, and the top of the leaderboard will likely be born in our Jingyu."

"Good." Li Yao wasn't surprised.

Just like the last time at the Sorrowful Snow Mountain, most of these large-scale dungeons were not exclusively owned by the Dragon Nation.

Li Yao carefully examined the surroundings.

Where would the fire-attribute supreme treasure be?

Senior Xue had no reason to lie to him.

The surroundings were all flowing magma pools.

The practitioners' landing point was only in the middle area, which hadn't been covered by magma yet.

Could it be under the magma?

No.

"Unlikely." Li Yao murmured softly.

Magma was not something untouchable for level 30 to 40 practitioners.

If it were under the magma, someone would have discovered it long ago!

It must be hidden or have some implicit conditions to trigger it.

"Hidden BOSS!"

Li Yao's mouth curled into a smile.

Since it was a hidden BOSS, it was easy to handle.

When he brushed the Purgatory-tier Goblin Nest before, it was because the killing speed was fast enough that the hidden BOSS could appear.

Since that was the case,

then when the monsters appear later, don't hold back, and strive to kill them at the fastest speed!

Li Yao made up his mind.

Even if this wasn't the trigger condition, he could exclude one option.

Wait until next week to brush it again, and brushing it a few more times would eventually trigger the hidden mechanism.

"It's coming."

Zhang Liyu said in a low voice.
