Chapter 100: First Rule Out Earth!

Outside the dungeon.

Xu Wenchang pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

“Beep… beep…”

After several rings, the call connected.

“Hello? Who’s this?”

A middle-aged man’s voice came through, radiating an air of superiority from his high position.

“I’m Xu Wenchang.”

Xu Wenchang’s tone was calm.

The other end fell silent for a moment, then a chair scraped against the floor.

Immediately, the man’s tone turned fawning:

“Oh my! It’s Elder Xu! What… what can I, a mere mayor of Tianbei City, do for you?”

Xu Wenchang got straight to the point:

“Mayor Liu, I’m currently at the Ruins of Broken Stones and have witnessed the Shark Guild illegally seizing land, forcing sales, and even committing murder in public. I demand an explanation.”

The other end fell silent for two seconds.

Then Mayor Liu’s voice grew agitated:

“What? This really happened?”

“Elder Xu, could there… perhaps be some misunderstanding?”

Mayor Liu spoke earnestly, “The Shark Guild is a vital civilian force in Tianbei City’s defense against beast tides. Chairman Zhao is known for his charity and law-abiding conduct…”

“Perhaps some temporary workers down the line acted carelessly and didn’t follow protocol.”

“Rest assured! I’ll return and severely reprimand Chairman Zhao, force him to clean up internal discipline—no mercy for these rotten apples!”

Xu Wenchang’s tone remained calm:

“I’m not here to hear excuses. I demand you immediately mobilize forces to seal off the Shark Guild and detain all key members.”

Hearing this, the other end began to evade:

“Elder Xu, this… it’s possible, of course.”

“But the Shark Guild has hundreds of members, deeply rooted here. A hasty arrest could trigger a mass incident…”

“Give me a week—I’ll give you a full report!”

The moment he said this,

Xu Wenchang’s tone turned icy:

“Mayor Liu, are you trying to stall me? If so, then no need.”

“It’s clear the Shark Guild’s arrogance in Tianbei City owes much to your complicity.”

Hearing this, Mayor Liu turned pale with terror. “Elder Xu, I have nothing to do with the Shark Guild! I’ll arrest them myself—I’ll lead the team!”

“No need.”

Xu Wenchang spoke coolly: “I gave you the chance. You failed to seize it.”

With that, he hung up, offering no further opportunity.

He put away his phone, gazing at the distant gray sky, a flicker of revulsion in his eyes.

In this age of monstrous horrors, there still exist parasites who tolerate criminal gangs for personal gain.

“Since I’ve run into this, I might as well turn Tianbei City’s sky upside down and wash it clean.”

Xu Wenchang murmured to himself.

At that moment, his phone vibrated again.

He looked down—the caller ID read: Lin Dapao.

His cold expression instantly softened into a smile.

“Hey, Old Lin, what’s up?”

Xu Wenchang’s tone grew casual.

“Hahaha!”

Lin Tianhao laughed loudly, “Old Xu, I’m on my way to Tianbei City. Heard you’re guarding outside the dungeon with my son?”

Xu Wenchang paused, helplessly replied:

“Old Lin, what? You don’t trust me here? You’ve got to come see for yourself?”

“Of course! He’s my own son! How could I trust anyone else?”

Lin Tianhao spoke with unshakable conviction.

“Besides, you can’t enter the dungeon yourself—you’re just guarding outside. What if someone sneaks in?”

“You mean the Sneak-In Scroll? The state’s been cracking down on those for years.”

Xu Wenchang shook his head. “Besides, the dungeon’s level restriction is 20–25. My son can wipe out 30-level elite monsters by the dozens. If someone sneaks in, they’re just bringing their heads.”

Besides, the dungeon’s level restriction is 20–25, and your son can wipe out entire groups of 30-level elite monsters—so if someone really barged in, wouldn’t they just be delivering their heads?

Hearing this, Lin Tianhao felt a surge of pride.

His son was truly formidable—giving him immense face!

“Enough talk. Send me your exact coordinates. Wait for me. Gotta go.”

Lin Tianhao hung up.

Xu Wenchang stared at the disconnected phone, a faint smile on his lips.

What an overprotective dad…

…

About a kilometer from Xu Wenchang’s location.

This was an extremely secluded ravine.

Surrounded on all sides by towering piles of jagged rocks.

If viewed from above, hundreds of figures could be seen hidden densely within.

The Shark Guild had sent out its entire force.

Chairman Zhao Tianling presided personally, flanked by Yamamoto Kenichi from Ying Country.

Beside them, a young man stared at a scroll emitting eerie purple-black light.

[Sneak-In Scroll: After use, detects all open dungeons within a five-kilometer radius and forcibly creates a temporary teleportation channel to send a four-person squad into one.]

[Breach Scroll: After use, detects all open dungeon spaces within a five-kilometer radius and forcibly constructs a temporary teleportation channel to send a four-member squad into one.]

the young man’s hand trembled:

“Chairman… we can go in now…”

“We can go in?”

Zhao Tianling froze.

If the Sneak-In Scroll activated, it meant his first elite squad had been wiped out.

The Breach Scroll has been used—that means his first elite squad has been completely annihilated!

“Scar and his team were our most elite 25-level squad, fully equipped with dual Thunder-Fire resistance gear. Even standing still, they shouldn’t have been wiped out this quickly!”

Zhao Tianling frowned, unable to comprehend.

Yamamoto Kenichi also wore a grave expression, his voice low: “It seems we underestimated the true value of this No. 1 on the Dragon Order leaderboard.”

Zhao Tianling turned to the young man.

He was the second assassination squad, fully prepared.

“Second squad, prepare!”

Zhao Tianling gritted his teeth and ordered.

“Wait.”

Yamamoto Kenichi suddenly stopped him. “Chairman Zhao, your second squad is weaker than the first. Even with identical Thunder-Fire resistance gear, the outcome will be the same.”

Yamamoto Kenichi suddenly stopped him. “Chairman Zhao, your second squad is even weaker than the first. Even if they wear the same Thunder-Fire resistance gear, the outcome will be the same.”

Zhao Tianling glanced at him, brow furrowed, a flicker of impatience in his eyes.

Time was running out. If Lin Mo’s team cleared the dungeon, everything was lost.

“Chairman Zhao, do you have high-grade elemental resistance potions?”

Zhao Tianling paused, then nodded: “I have high-grade potions for Thunder, Fire, Earth, Water, Wind—even Light and Dark elements. Each boosts corresponding resistance by 70% for one hour.”

Hearing this, Yamamoto Kenichi nodded. “Give each member of the second squad one bottle. Unfortunately, elemental resistance potions cannot be stacked—using a second one overrides the first.”

I have high-grade elemental resistance potions for Thunder, Fire, Earth, Water, Wind, and even Light-Dark elements—each boosts corresponding elemental resistance by 70% for one hour after consumption.

“Chairman Zhao, which element should they take?”

Zhao Tianling stared at the potions, lost in thought.

This was a choice that would determine victory or defeat.

If they chose wrong, the second squad would walk into a slaughter.

“Thunder and Fire resistance are definitely useless—their gear already has solid resistance.”

Zhao Tianling’s mind raced as he murmured:

If you pick the wrong resistance, the second team will just be wasted.

“Lightning and Fire resistance are definitely broken; that gear’s resistance is real.”

Zhao Tianling’s mind raced as he murmured:

First, eliminate Earth.

Although Lin Mo has an Earth affinity, Earth skills are mostly defensive, with very few offensive ones.

Moreover, in the video, Lin Mo never used any Earth offensive skill—if he had it, he would have already unleashed it.

A person’s energy is limited; since he has pushed Lightning and Fire to their extremes, Earth must merely be a survival tactic.

The Light girl is a tank, and the support is no threat either—if we can only choose one, then Ice.

After all, she’s a student from the Dragon Sequence Class; she’s certainly not ordinary.

Scar and the others probably fell to that Ice girl.

Hearing this analysis, Yamamoto Ken nodded in agreement.

Brilliant deduction, Director Zhao.

Then let’s proceed with this plan.
