Chapter 169: Mechanism? Instant Kill!

Hum——

Accompanied by a ripple of spatial distortion.

The teleportation array's glow gradually faded from the air.

Lin Mo and his group of twenty figures landed steadily in a world of pure white.

The moment they touched down,

a bone-chilling wind, laden with snowflakes as large as goose feathers, howled toward them.

Looking out, this was an endless expanse of white snowfield.

The sky was thick with dark clouds.

The surrounding terrain was uneven, dotted with rolling hills.

The snow on the ground was extremely deep—each step sank nearly to the knees.

Aside from the howling wind, an eerie silence hung over this land.

As the group surveyed their surroundings,

prompts appeared on everyone's panels.

【You have entered the team dungeon: Burial Dragon Snowfield (Hell Tier)】

【Dungeon Level Restriction: Lv. 5–Lv. 5】

【Current Dungeon Population: 20/20】

【Tip: All members click 'Prepare'—a ten-second countdown will begin, officially starting the Gonglve timer and activating the first challenge.】

【Good luck, everyone!】

Looking at the panel prompts,

Lin Mo hadn't spoken when the skills could no longer hold back.

【【Earth Shield】 poked its head out, dumbly suggesting: It's so cold, the wind's so strong, Master—why not let me raise four walls and build you a windproof earthen den? We can light a fire inside, warm up, then fight?】

【【Fireball】 glared at it: Build a damn what? This mere snowstorm dares to make the Great One dodge its wind?】

"Enough, stop arguing."

Lin Mo said inwardly:

"Today's goal is a speed-clear. Push your damage to the limit. Whoever falters gets no dinner tonight."

At the words "no dinner,"

the skills instantly surged with excitement.

【【Fireball】's flames erupted violently: Hmph, Master, just watch! My firepower is the strongest in the house!】

【【Earth Shield】 shuddered in fright and quickly pledged loyalty: Master, rest assured! Brother Two won't let you down! No walls—I'll pierce every monster through!】

【【Lightning Strike】 said nothing, but its body crackled with wild arcs of electricity—clearly in its highest combat state.】

Seeing this, Lin Mo nodded approvingly inwardly.

"Achoo—!"

Wang Dawei shivered, rubbing his frozen hands, complaining:

"My god, this wind cuts like knives—damn intense."

Ye Kong flexed his wrists, eyes sharp:

"Dawei, stop shaking—embarrassing. Show some pride of the Dragon Order Class."

"Lingxuan, get closer to me."

Han Mengqing wrapped her arms around Chu Lingxuan beside her, "Our Light Knight is warm—built-in little sun function."

Chu Lingxuan smiled helplessly and gently released a warm dawn aura.

Lin Mo turned to face the group.

"Everyone."

"The Japanese brats broke our fifty-year record and are bragging about it."

"Today, we'll show them with absolute strength—Dragon Nation's records aren't for any stray cat or dog to touch!"

Lin Mo's gaze burned as it swept over every face:

"Ready?"

"Ready, Class Leader!"

Ye Kong roared, brimming with battle spirit.

"Crush them!"

Han Mengqing waved her tiny fists.

"Good."

Lin Mo's lips curled upward, then he swept his hand forward:

"All units—Prepare!"

Swish—swish—swish—

Everyone pressed the Prepare button at once.

【All units prepared.】

【First challenge activated.】

【Countdown: 10, 9, 8…】

The snowstorm grew even more furious at this moment.

Everyone held their breath; mages gripped their staves, warriors lowered their stances.

The instant the countdown hit zero,

a red timer appeared at the top of the panel:

【00: 0: 0】.

Boom—!!!

Almost simultaneously with the timer's tick, a massive snowdrift a hundred meters ahead erupted in a violent avalanche!

Snow exploded into the sky; the earth trembled violently.

"Roar—!!!"

Accompanied by four thunderous dragon roars,

four colossal figures burst through the ice!

【Frost Dragon Guard, Level: 35】

Their bodies were covered in deep-blue frost scales.

Horns jutted fiercely from their heads; their crystalline wings stretched ten meters wide.

In their hands, they gripped massive frost war pikes.

The moment the four elite monsters appeared, a terrifying pressure surged like a tidal wave toward the group!

"Mengqing! Apply buffs!"

Lin Mo shouted.

"Got it!"

In an instant,

Han Mengqing swung her staff.

A series of auras enveloped Lin Mo.

Lin Mo roared loudly:

"Everyone—Full firepower!"

Boom—!!!

The Fire Element Body and Lightning Element Body activated simultaneously.

Behind Lin Mo, on the left, a flaming demon phantom rose from the ground.

On the right,

blinding lightning flashed forth.

Wild thunder intertwined as a majestic thunderous Qilin phantom roared to the heavens, its lightning aura dominating all!

At this moment, Lin Mo stood in the snowstorm like a god wielding heavenly retribution.

That breathtakingly handsome scene was seared into the eyes of every Dragon Order Class student behind him.

"Xiao Lei."

Lin Mo clenched his right hand in the air.

Thunder Chain Prison!

Zzzzz—!!!

Hundreds of lightning chains shot out at blinding speed toward the four elite monsters.

"Roar—!"

The Dragon Guards roared.

Lightning surged over their entire bodies.

Electrified status applied.

Immediately after,

Lin Mo did not hesitate—he unleashed full firepower.

"Little Fire!"

【Fireball Spell】 Full of excitement: I am here!

Boom!

A crimson tornado of flame formed directly beneath the four Dragon Guards.

At the same time,

a massive fan-shaped wave of fire, like a tidal surge, slammed into the four monsters!

"Don't stand there! Focus fire!"

Ye Kong roared, and his figure vanished instantly from where he stood.

The next second,

he appeared directly in midair.

"Dimensional Slash Chain!"

Swish-swish-swish-swish—!

Countless pitch-black spatial fissures struck the four Dragon Guards with pinpoint accuracy.

"Frost Lance!"

Han Mengyao cried out sharply.

An ice spear solidified in her hand, then shot forth, piercing deep into one of the Dragon Guards' bodies.

Immediately after,

Chu Lingxuan's Holy Judgment, the archers' armor-piercing arrow rain, the water mage's high-pressure water arrows…

The full firepower of twenty top prodigies poured without restraint onto the four Frost Dragon Guards!

In an instant,

the four Frost Dragon Guards' health bars evaporated by more than half!

Soon, their health dropped below 20%.

A freezing ice ring erupted violently from within the four Dragon Guards!

【Prompt: Frost Dragon Guards have entered 'Absolute Freeze' state—Defense increased by 90%! Immune to all control effects!】

"The mechanic triggered!"

Han Mengyao's face changed instantly, her tension spiking.

Whether we succeed or fail, it all comes down to this!

Lin Mo's lips curled slightly.

He raised both hands sharply.

"Little Earth!"

【【Earth Shield Spell】expression instantly turned fierce: I'm here!】

"Finish them!"

Lin Mo gave the order.

Hum—!

Behind him,

thousands of rock spears coalesced in an instant.

Blocking out the sky and sun.

Swoosh-swoosh-swoosh-swoosh-swoosh—!!

A thousand arrows unleashed!

The Death Thorn Rock Spears, bearing the absolute trait of 【Ignore 50% Defense】, rained down mercilessly upon the four ice statues.

"Little Fire, Little Thunder—send them to their end!"

Lin Mo threw his head back sharply.

The sky split cleanly in two!

On the left, crimson fire clouds churned.

On the right, black thunderclouds roared!

Then, Lin Mo clenched his hands tightly in midair.

Combined Technique: Thunder Yan ·Infernal Judgment!

Boom—!

Countless apocalyptic meteorites crashed down upon the four ice statues.

Countless thick columns of lightning engulfed the four Dragon Guards.

At the same time,

countless columns of thunder and flame erupted skyward beneath the four elite monsters!

Boom-boom-boom—!!

The terrifying heat and shockwave instantly vaporized all snow within a kilometer radius!

【First Gate, cleared!】

【Time taken: 12 seconds!】

【Countdown: Ten seconds until teleportation to Second Gate.】
