Chapter 13: Joining the Exorcism Army? Entering a Hero-level Dungeon

When Zhou Chu heard the three words "Exorcism Army," his eyes instantly lit up.

If he could obtain the qualifications to join the Exorcism Army, his level and strength would surely improve much faster, and he would also have more resources and Soul Fragments to obtain.

Therefore, heading to the front lines to join the Exorcism Army became Zhou Chu's next step in his plan.

"Zhou Chu, have you really lost your mind? Entering an Expert-level Dungeon without even taking a Teleportation Stone—do you think you haven't caused enough trouble already?"

"Don't you know what the Exorcism Army is? Have you forgotten everything taught in class?"

Su Chang, who was by his side, grew anxious and began to lecture him without hesitation.

Having just been worried sick about Zhou Chu's safety, she was now both anxious and angry to hear that Zhou Chu was volunteering to join the Exorcism Army.

"Teacher Su, if I join the Exorcism Army, my strength will improve rapidly. Besides, relying solely on this Novice Dungeon, it is truly too difficult to obtain admission qualifications for Shenxia University!"

"Therefore, I voluntarily apply to join the Exorcism Army! I also want to contribute my own strength to the country!"

Zhou Chu stepped forward and said solemnly.

Hearing this impassioned speech from Zhou Chu, the corners of Su Zhanghe's mouth twitched, and he nearly cursed out loud.

He couldn't help but wail in his heart.

Child, you are so foolish!

Anyone with any sense could see that this was a provocation tactic deliberately used by Luo Dachun to push you into a pit of fire.

How could you be so eager to ride the tiger and jump in yourself?

Isn't this falling right into that old man's trap?

Seeing that Zhou Chu had actually volunteered, Luo Dachun was overjoyed and secretly gloated.

This kid really is missing a screw in his head.

Since you want to die, I will help you!

Today, this Hero-level Dungeon shall be your burial ground!

Thus, Luo Dachun took advantage of the situation and said, "Well said! Listen to that, such righteous patriotism."

"As the saying goes, if the youth are strong, the country is strong. It is precisely because of young people who dare to fight and strive that our country can stand tall in this world for so long."

"Old Su, oh Old Su, it is a pity that you are a teacher, why don't you have this kind of awareness?"

Su Zhanghe was trembling with rage.

It could be said that Luo Dachun's exploitation of the situation was very effective.

No matter how much he wanted to stop Zhou Chu, in the end, he could only let others make a joke of him.

The key was that this child, Zhou Chu, was too thoughtless; he couldn't even tell good from bad, which was truly infuriating!

Su Zhanghe tried his best to suppress the urgency in his heart and said to Zhou Chu with a serious tone, "Student Zhou Chu, you must be responsible for what you have said. Joining the Exorcism Army is no small matter; you must weigh it carefully and think it through before you speak!"

"Principal, I have thought it through; I want to join the Exorcism Army!"

Hearing Zhou Chu's response once again, Su Zhanghe was in despair; he no longer wanted to persuade him of anything.

If this child had no sense of his own, no amount of persuasion from others would be of any use.

But based on their teacher-student bond, Su Zhanghe finally warned, "However, joining the Exorcism Army is not that easy. You must successfully clear this final Hero-level Dungeon."

"You need to weigh the gravity of this Hero-level Dungeon. Since the founding of Shenxia, no newcomer has ever cleared it, so you must think clearly!"

Zhou Chu smiled confidently and nodded, "Please rest assured, Principal Su, I will definitely clear it!"

Having said that, he turned and rushed into the golden portal behind him.

The homeroom teacher, Su Chang, was shocked and reached out to grab Zhou Chu.

But she didn't expect this kid to run faster than a rabbit, and her grab only caught a handful of air.

"Dad, why didn't you stop him! He really will lose his life this time!" Su Chang cried, grabbing Su Zhanghe's arm and shouting.

Su Zhanghe had thought his words would make Zhou Chu retreat in the face of difficulty.

But he didn't expect this kid to enter the Copy again without another word, and he did it so decisively that he didn't even give them a chance to react.

At this moment, the staff member from before fell onto the ground, staring blankly at the portal of the Hero-level Dungeon, the Teleportation Stone he had been holding in his hand clattering to the floor.

The next moment, he began to wail, "Oh my, this kid didn't take the Teleportation Stone again. Oh, heavens above..."

As for the fat middle-aged man leading the Emergency Team, he had long since retreated to the back, shaking his head and sighing, "Sigh, that is a Hero-level Dungeon; I am afraid I am powerless to help."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Luo Dachun's mouth curled up slightly, and he thought to himself, "Qin Ye, oh Qin Ye, I have cleared a major obstacle for you; you must not let my painstaking efforts go to waste!"

Swish!

A flash appeared before Zhou Chu, and he had already entered the Hero-level Dungeon.

【Warning: It is detected that your current level is too low to match the current difficulty. It is recommended that you use the Teleportation Stone to leave the Copy immediately!】

【You have 30 seconds of teleportation time; once the time is up, you will be unable to teleport!】

【30, 29, 28...】

The sound of a countdown soon appeared before his eyes.

Zhou Chu had no intention of leaving; he was here to clear the Hero-level Dungeon and obtain the qualification to join the Exorcism Army.

The Hero-level Dungeon is named 【Yi Luo Ying Di】!

In reality, it is a defense-oriented Copy.

At this moment, behind Zhou Chu was a small town built with defensive fortifications.

The clearer must successively withstand several waves of attacks from the Calamity Legion and not let the monsters threaten the town behind them.

Finally, kill the last elite monster to clear the Copy.

Zhou Chu looked at the corrupt camp shrouded in black mist not far away and began to continuously summon his army from the Contract Pool.

After all, it is the highest difficulty Copy, so it should be a tough battle.

Therefore, preparations must be made in advance.

There were only 5 minutes left until the first wave of monster attacks.

This also shows that Zhou Chu could gather an army of about 300 people during this period.

Thus, based on the three types of materials currently in the Contract Pool, Zhou Chu summoned his early-stage defensive troops in a 1:1:1 ratio.

Ghouls and Crypt Poison Spiders would take the lead, and at the rear were 100 Skeleton Spearmen.

5 minutes passed by very quickly.

Accompanied by the sound of attack horns ringing out from the enemy camp, a vanguard force composed of a motley crew of skeleton soldiers charged over like a black tide.

Zhou Chu did not immediately let his troops meet them, but instead wanted to let the monsters get closer before fighting.

He would let the Skeleton Spearmen reap a wave of damage first.

Soon, the first wave of monsters entered the 80-meter firing range.

As the commander, Zhou Chu gave an order, and the Skeleton Spearmen swung their arms like rapidly spinning windmills, frantically throwing the Bone Spears in their hands one after another.

Under the blessing of God-level Swiftness, each Skeleton Spearman could throw as many as 10 Bone Spears at a time.

The dense Bone Spears, like a swarm of locusts, poured down into the monster horde, blotting out the sky and sun.

The monsters were like wheat being mowed down, falling in large swaths in an instant.

【Successfully killed "Decaying Skeleton Soldier", EXP +1.】

【Obtained Soul Fragment *1】

【Successfully collected Contract Material "Decaying Skeleton Soldier (D-Grade)".】

【Successfully killed "Decaying Skeleton Soldier", EXP +1.】

【Obtained Soul Fragment *1】

【Successfully collected Contract Material "Decaying Skeleton Soldier (D-Grade)".】

Every volley from the 100 Skeleton Spearmen was an extremely spectacular sight.

In just five short seconds, this wave of monsters had all fallen to the ground.

From start to finish, not a single monster was able to step alive past the 80-meter mark.

This way of farming monsters was truly too satisfying.

It was just a pity that this first wave was pure cannon fodder, with each monster only providing one point of experience.

However, that was not the point.

The point was that every single monster could bring Zhou Chu 1 Soul Fragment.

Even if they were cannon fodder, they were all walking banknotes.

From this wave of monsters alone, 100 Soul Fragments were credited to his account.

Zhou Chu couldn't help but think happily to himself.

After clearing this Heroic Difficulty Copy, would he be able to upgrade his Life Soul Artifact by another grade?
