Chapter 701: The Sleeping Lord

By the time Su Sheng finally reached the blacksmith shop's location, the Dungeon time had only about forty minutes left.

At that moment, a squad was standing at the shop's spot.

They had also been exploring all the way.

Leading the squad were the siblings Feng Wu Jiu Tian and Feng Wu Jiu Tian; Feng Wu Jiu Tian's strength was still notable, so in the Yanhuang Guild he also served as a squad leader.

"Chairman!"

"Chairman has arrived too!"

When Su Sheng arrived, the squad members greeted him.

"How's it going? How was the loot?" Su Sheng surveyed the squad; it seemed a few members were lost, but the total still numbered over eighty.

"Hehe, quite good."

Everyone smiled; this wasn't about fighting monsters in a Dungeon, it was basically a scavenging trip.

Too easy…

"But the Chairman's legend is right there, how do we get it?"

"Don't worry, I have my own way." Su Sheng chuckled.

Seeing the collapsed slope beside him, Su Sheng walked directly from that slope to the edge of the furnace.

Gurgle gurgle~

Magma bubbled, steaming with heat.

Hoo~

Su Sheng took a deep breath and gauged the distance.

As long as his calculation is correct, he should be able to get it.

Even if he errs, it's no big deal—just lose a bit of experience; he just reached level 59, and the experience is only what he earned after entering the Dungeon.

Charge!

Su Sheng charged straight into the magma!

Swish~

-100000

One second, a hundred thousand!

Su Sheng was instantly killed!

But Lion King Stance! Triggered!

Five seconds of invincibility, and also…

All skills reset!

Roar!

Lion's Fury!

Falling Demon Body!

Lion Hunt!

These skills all had their cooldowns reset while Lion King Stance was active.

Hm?

Su Sheng then noticed that this magma had a trap effect similar to the previous swamp…

Since that's the case…

Unstoppable!

Activate!

Charge!

Swish~

Su Sheng surged out across the surface of the magma!

Everyone present stared dumbfounded at the scene.

Golden armor, black robe!

A golden Lion Head Halo enveloped him, treading on the magma!

"Chairman, that cape is really cool."

Feng Wu Jiu Tian, donning Su Sheng's cape, said enviously.

Now, throughout the Yanhuang Guild, only Su Sheng and Lin Huan have capes…

This piece of equipment is truly ultra‑rare.

It's basically sold out instantly at the auction house.

Last time I saw a green special‑modified equipment piece… a warrior's battle flag.

It was listed for 200,000 Gold Coins.

But it vanished in an instant.

The thing behind appeared, the Morning Star Deputy President… behind Ziwei Star.

You should know that back then the recharge channel wasn't open yet, and Gold Coin prices were outrageous.

…

Below.

In the third second, Su Sheng was still a short distance from the red spear.

Swish~

One step.

Fourth second!

Put it away!

The item has already gone into Su Sheng's backpack.

Gururū!

As the Red Halberd is put away by Su Sheng, the whole magma begins to boil, as if…

Something is emerging.

Run!

Su Sheng immediately turns around and runs!

In Lion Hunt's high‑speed state, Su Sheng sprints toward the shore.

But the moment Su Sheng turns and runs, the fifth second!

Lion King Stance time's up!

But it's okay!

Second Survival Tactic!

Pseudo Nirvana Trigger!

Three-Second Invincibility!

Su Sheng must dash out within three seconds.

Swish~

An unstoppable skill, combined with Lion Hunt, this magma can't block Su Sheng in the slightest.

Almost the instant Su Sheng steps onto the shore, the Pseudo Nirvana effect ends just in time.

Huh~

Su Sheng lets out a breath!

Sure enough, my calculation was spot on!

A full eight seconds of invincibility finally let me retrieve this Red Halberd.

"Chairman, hurry up!"

At that moment, the Crazy Dance Nine Heavens above hurriedly called out a warning.

"Holy Words! Bind!"

And Wind Dance Nine Heavens immediately cast a skill.

Su Sheng doesn't have time to look back, and darts straight up the slope!

Fireworks Blessing!

Su Sheng instantly shields his head, then looks back.

A red "arm" reaches out, grabbing at Su Sheng's former spot.

But specks of light swirl, causing that arm to pause briefly.

Yet at this moment, those specks of light are dissipating.

And the fire‑red arm, after breaking free, still reaches for Su Sheng.

Smoke Swirl!

White mist immediately wraps that huge hand again.

But visibly, the white mist is being peeled away bit by bit…

The five‑second Stasis was broken in less than a second.

And in roughly that one second, Su Sheng had already run up.

"Step back!"

After Su Sheng arrives, he immediately orders everyone to retreat.

But that arm sinks back into the magma, not extending again…

Fire Elemental Lord (Lord‑level BOSS)

(Dormant)

Level:??

HP:??

??

??

…

"We'll pull back; looks like this BOSS hasn't awakened yet."

Su Sheng directly orders everyone to fall back.

Mud Horse, a Lord‑level BOSS whose level is all question marks.

"Chairman, let's go; we've pretty much explored the surroundings anyway."

Crazy Dance Nine Heavens directly posts in the Team Channel, everyone too scared to speak.

Too terrifying.

Su Sheng nods.

Then the group quietly leaves this spot.

Gudu~

In the blacksmith shop, only the gurgling magma remains.

Some black Demon Energy fell, but it evaporated instantly upon touching the magma.

…

After the group retreated a good distance, they finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Chairman, check the attributes."

At this moment, Fengwu Jiu Tian poked his hand and said excitedly.

Su Sheng smiled faintly; he naturally knew what attribute Fengwu Jiu Tian was referring to.

Su Sheng didn't hide it either.

He directly displayed the Long Halberd's attributes.

Flaming Long Halberd (Red Legend)

Attack: 660

Add: Strength +200

Add: Strength +200

Add: Heavy Troops

Add: Heavy Strike

Add: Flame

Level: 60

Category: Two-Handed Pole

Requirement: 1800 Strength

Description: (omitted)

Heavy Troops (Passive):

Physical Damage +5%, Attack Speed -5%

Heavy Strike (Passive):

Forceful Heavy Pressure, Armor Break +10%

Flame:

Flame tempering, converts 10% of damage into flame damage.

Whoa!

Su Sheng saw the attributes of this thing and couldn't help but gape.

Pure! A violent weapon!

The attributes are also simple and brutal.

Just in terms of attack power, it's already close to the Divine Artifact in my hand.

However, Divine Thunder Magic Light is only level 50, ten levels lower, and the weapon's attack power doesn't matter much to Su Sheng...

Instead, the various added attributes have a greater effect for Su Sheng.

Moreover, this weapon also has a fire element effect, only ten percent, not as good as my own skill, but still quite good, able to break the limitation of pure physical damage.

My skill hasn't even reached the required level yet.

Fengwu Jiu Tian's eyes lit up, but then he felt a bit disappointed.

He, as a Trap Formation Warrior, lacks the required Strength, and Trap Formation Warriors generally don't use such dual-wielded long weapons; the level can be compensated by Divine Craftsman Stone, but Strength… Trap Formation Warriors aren't pure Strength builds.

Even Furious Warriors rarely use such dual-wielded long weapons; they're almost exclusive to War Knights.

Of course there are exceptions…

For example, the Imperial Dynasty's Zhaozilong; that fellow is a Furious Warrior but wields a long weapon.

Facing such a violent weapon, a Furious Warrior would probably make an exception!
