Chapter 555

In less than half an hour,

Li Yao reached the end of the staircase.

The processes for 【Heavenly Crane Altar】 and 【Tragic Snow Mountain】 were the same:

climb to the top and fight for the secret treasure.

While climbing, Li Yao encountered many monsters,

and Kha'Zix gained nearly two hundred attributes.

The only people who entered from the Sakura Kingdom side were the practitioners brought by Jiutiao Lu Zai,

and they were all lying down below now.

As for the Dragon Nation side,

Li Yao also roughly guessed why no practitioners had entered the 【Heavenly Crane Altar】.

"It must have been the teacher's doing, right?"

In this type of competitive dungeon, apart from a meager amount of experience points,

the only reward is the secret treasure at the peak.

Knowing that he would be coming in,

wouldn't it be a waste of time for other Jingyu students to enter?

Li Yao climbed to the top of the staircase,

to a platform about the size of two football fields.

Under normal circumstances, this would be the place where practitioners from two countries would fight to the death.

Now, however, there was only Li Yao.

In the center of the platform was a pavilion resembling an ancient one.

Li Yao didn't hesitate and walked straight toward the pavilion.

The door wasn't locked; it opened with a push.

The smell of decaying dust rushed into his nose.

A hoarse, dull voice followed:

"Practitioner, you have finally come. I have waited for you for a long time."

Li Yao looked toward the source of the sound.

It was a Sakura Kingdom samurai armor about three meters tall.

It was covered tightly, and Li Yao didn't know what was inside the armor.

It held a samurai sword, its hollow eye slits staring straight at Li Yao.

Three minutes later,

the armor scattered all over the ground.

A black-gray heart

and a loot treasure chest

floated quietly in mid-air.

Li Yao put them into his storage ring.

"Do I have to go out and come back in?"

The armor didn't refresh for a long time, Li Yao wondered.

He walked out of the simple pavilion and walked back in again.

"Practitioner, you have finally come. I have waited for you for a long time."

"Uh..."

A dozen minutes later,

Li Yao appeared in the dungeon hall.

The entire dungeon run took less than an hour.

With three gray hearts plus the two Tragic Crystals obtained earlier in 【Tragic Snow Mountain】,

Li Yao now had five items to increase task difficulty.

This thing could only be used for three items at most. ===== CHAPTER 557 =====
