Chapter 812: Solidified Instance?

I'm at level 64, still missing forty percent of the experience to reach level 65.

Before I was thinking the Demon Spirit Drop was way out of level range, but now I just need another forty percent of experience to level up.

But for that forty percent at level 64, if I just grind monsters normally, it would probably take close to a week or even longer...

But... that's it?

No continuation?

Su Sheng glanced at the surroundings in surprise; at the collapsed Demon Energy Well, a red beam stood out prominently.

But Su Sheng knew that was a Demon Energy Core; it was the third time he had seen this thing, and he still had one such item in his storage.

And over at Shi Bo Cheng, Zhu Meng Junjie gave him one to use for mischief.

Su Sheng picked up the item, and as expected, it was indeed a Demon Energy Core.

Other than that, there was nothing.

But Su Sheng was satisfied; one Dungeon lifted him two levels, what more is there to say?

It may be only two levels, but at this stage those two levels saved Su Sheng roughly a month of grinding.

Glancing at the Level Ranking List, Su Sheng couldn't help but smile.

Shen Wang, that rank king, is now level 59 and is likely to surge to level 60 soon.

Did't expect it, but a single Dungeon opened the gap for him.

(Shen Wang: Made, how do you play when you have a cheat?)

…

The main point is that all the various rewards from this Dungeon are actually just side benefits.

The core purpose is to resolve this crisis in Yanhuang Town.

Grinding~

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared at the central spot of the Dungeon's inner palace.

Su Sheng and Shen Yang both jumped in fright, looked first… then let out a sigh of relief.

Dalian…

That was terrifying.

"Explorer, you really did it; you truly surprised me."

Dalian looked at Su Sheng and began to speak.

"Hehe, lucky." Su Sheng grinned as he said.

Of course, if the core elite hundred of the Yanhuang Guild cannot clear the Dungeon, then at this stage nobody can clear it.

The main issue is still… the BOSS; the final stage's Demon Spirit form is too disgusting.

Completely immune for five minutes, turning the BOSS fight instantly into a survival challenge…

And the damage is literally level‑suppressed real damage—one level equals ten thousand real damage.

Moreover, there is no Hate Value, and it's in a wise BOSS state… too perverse.

At this point, Dalian walked up and began observing around the collapsed Demon Energy Well.

"Your luck really is good."

After observing for a moment, Dalian said.

Huh?

Su Sheng and Shen Yang were stunned.

"It's a massive Demon Energy Well; if this demon cave continues to develop, it could eventually spawn a Demon Realm Lord‑level entity."

Dalian withdrew his gaze: "If a Demon Realm Lord truly appears, even I would have to give my all, and victory isn't guaranteed."

"Unless… Shen Wang steps in, or you request aid from your human Main City."

"Otherwise, your territory will most likely be destroyed in an instant."

Hearing that, Su Sheng couldn't help but feel relieved.

Luckily… we won.

Thinking back to the Demon Siege at Xuanwu Main City.

If that happened in Yanhuang Town, it would truly be despair‑inducing.

And on top of that, a level‑80 lord‑level BOSS at the end…

Tsk tsk tsk, just go offline… and wait to die.

Dalian is an 80‑level intelligent NPC, his strength also counts as an 80‑level lord, and even he can't guarantee a 100% win; at this stage players can basically only wait to die.

In the final stage, only he and Shen Yang remained.

It really was that close.

"No wonder, Shen Wang chose you."

"However, the scale of this Demon Energy Well is too massive."

"And the Demon Energy veins have penetrated completely; even if the Well is destroyed, the disaster cannot be fully eradicated."

Then Dalian gestured, and the Demon Energy Core in Su Sheng's hand, which hadn't been placed in the inventory, flew straight to Dalian's hand.

Damn… that move left Su Sheng dumbfounded.

|ू•ૅω•́)ᵎᵎᵎ

"If there are more Demon Energy Cores later, this Demon Energy Well will revive instantly."

Dalian glanced at the Demon Energy Core in his hand, then tossed it back to Su Sheng.

"Let's go, leave here."

Then Dalian stepped in, appearing at the magic circle in the center.

Su Sheng and Shen Yang exchanged a glance and kept up.

Swish~

Su Sheng and Shen Yang appeared amid the ruins.

The other Yanhuang members around were absent.

Then Su Sheng looked toward the Dungeon Entrance.

The pitch‑black entrance at that spot was still there.

Then Dalian stepped forward and etched a magic circle around it.

A flash of light flickered…

The Dungeon Entrance now only had a magic circle icon left.

"The Demon Energy veins have formed; eradicating the Demon Lair here isn't that easy."

Dalian looked at Su Sheng: "I need to garrison here; please tell my king for me."

Su Sheng heard this and gave a slight nod.

But then Su Sheng thought, "Is there no way to clean it up completely?"

"It's possible, but it will take some time."

Dalian looked at Su Sheng: "Even though the Demon Energy Well has been destroyed, its underlying Demon Energy veins will still periodically gather Demon Energy; if that energy isn't dealt with, it will leak out and pollute the surroundings."

"It's better to divert than to block, so you can use the Stasis pull of the Demon Energy crystal core in your hand to redirect some Demon Energy, reform the Demon Lair, and then purge the monsters spawned by that energy again."

Dalian looked at Su Sheng and spoke.

"Huh?"

Su Sheng was startled and took out the Demon Energy crystal core.

"How often can it pull?" Su Sheng understood roughly in his mind.

Dungeon!

A Dungeon that can be cleared repeatedly!

Solidified Instance?

No… it's not the Solidified Instance like Hui Long Zhai; this situation seems somewhat similar… like the previous Demon Energy Castle case.

It requires time and specific materials.

Anyway, it's a good thing.

"The Demon Energy veins reconsolidating Demon Energy also need some time; the current mold's vein integrity is high, estimated about 48 hours to gather enough Demon Energy to rebuild the Demon Lair."

"Of course, the Demon Energy Well has been destroyed; without the pull of a Demon Energy crystal core, the Demon Lair cannot form."

Dalian said.

Su Sheng understood that as long as there is a Demon Energy crystal core, after 48 hours they can clear the Dungeon again.

Su Sheng couldn't help but smile.

Although it's not a Solidified Instance, it's still pretty good.

"I understand. I'll come back after 48 hours. Thanks for your trouble," Su Sheng said politely to Dalian.

"Fighting the Demon Race is our lifelong mission," Dalian said solemnly.

The JingLingWangGuo was destroyed in an instant because of the Demon Race.

Then Su Sheng and Shen Yang took out Return City Tickets.
