Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Rosell also saw the Undying Dragon's provocation towards Lin Hanchuan and said in a deep voice, "The Undying Dragon is just that kind of person. He will often attack someone just because they look at him."

"However, besides that, he may also consider you a friend of the Childe family's Glory. After all, the Saint-level cuisine you ate at the Golden Hall Restaurant was provided by the Childe family's Glory."

"Oh! By the way! You might not know, but the post about Immortal Dragon's brother, Fantasy Dragon, being kept by a rich woman was leaked by the Glory of the Childe family."

"Those two brothers hate the Glory of the Childe family to the core. Fortunately, the Glory of the Childe family is wealthy and knows the identity of the Fantasy Dragon in reality, so the Fantasy Dragon is very wary of him. Otherwise, the Glory of the Childe family might have been killed and his account deleted."

"But the Undying Dragon is different. He's not very bright. I bet he's going to take action against the Childe family's honor in the ruins this time, and he'll also be eyeing you along the way."

Rosell was also quite wary of someone like the Undying Dragon. When introducing him to Lin Hanchuan, he would only glance at him out of the corner of his eye from time to time.

Lin Hanchuan, on the other hand, had no qualms about it.

His eyes were fixed on the immortal dragon.

A smile remained on his lips.

After obtaining the death list, it was only used on the priest in Long Xiaoyue's starting village at the time, and was never used at other times.

Either his opponents were too weak, like the Madman, and assassinating him with a death list was less effective than killing him openly, which would also make him a stepping stone and help spread his reputation. After killing the Madman, he was invincible in Wangyue City, and Lin Hanchuan didn't have the habit of bullying the weak, so he hadn't used the death list.

Either his opponents were too strong, or the top demons were all level 100 or the death list was a rare item whose effect increased with the user's strength. Given his own level, even if he wrote the names of those top demons on his list, it wouldn't have any impact.

It's different now.

I'm in District 8 now.

The system requires you to conceal your identity.

The Childe family's Glory has offered two more rewards for Saint-grade gourmet recipes.

So it's time to use it.

The only slight regret is that we have to wait a little longer before we can take action against the immortal dragon.

The reward for the Childe family's glory only applies when the Undying Dragon is defeated inside the ruins; killing him outside would result in a significant loss of two Saint-grade gourmet recipes.

"Sir, you should also pay attention to that person over there..."

Following Russell's explanation, Lin Hanchuan began to recognize people.

Russell was talking about players with powerful backers, most of whom were on lists provided by intelligence organizations.

This actually made things easier for Lin Hanchuan.

That way, you won't have to go inside the ruins and then get to know everything.

After a long while, Russell's gaze returned to Lin Hanchuan, and he shrugged, saying, "I feel that there are about this many people who can pose a threat to you in the ruins!"

"I learned all of this from what others told me, and then further from various sources such as the Linjiang Forum and public chat channels."

He introduced dozens of players to Lin Hanchuan, sharing all the information he knew without reservation.

“If you join an intelligence organization, you’ll definitely thrive,” Lin Hanchuan said earnestly to Rosell.

Russell is definitely a natural-born intelligence whiz.

While everyone else was still searching for who was who.

He had used his intelligence-gathering skills to thoroughly understand the other party's information from all aspects, and was able to summarize it briefly and explain it to himself.

This guy is born to do intelligence work.

“Mr. Mysterious Man, my only dream during my arrival is to become a master chef and create all kinds of delicious food,” Rosell immediately emphasized his dream.

"I am able to collect this information simply because I enjoy interacting with people and listening to them talk about all sorts of things. When I encounter something that interests me, I will actively seek out related information through various channels. In addition, I have a good memory, so I may know more than others."

Russell was extremely humble.

Lin Hanchuan chuckled and nodded, not forcing this future culinary master to comply.

At the same time, a message suddenly popped up on Lin Hanchuan's personal panel.

It was sent by Lao Mo.

Mo Lingyun: "Old Lin, Old Cao has run into some trouble. Do you have time to come back and handle it?"

This message startled Lin Hanchuan.

Old Mo is a very capable person.

Under normal circumstances, they won't take the initiative to contact you.

Moreover, given Lao Cao's strength and the current status of the Heavenly Dao Guild in Wangyue City, he is practically fearless.

But now Lao Mo actually sent me a message asking for help.

Lin Hanchuan immediately thought of the time that Lao Cao had taken Shichen to the Eternal Forbidden Land before he came to the Eighth District.

Could it be that Old Cao has encountered trouble in the Forbidden Land?

With his mind racing, Lin Hanchuan ignored the voices of people around him who had come up to him wanting to add him as a friend, and immediately sent a message to inquire about the situation.

"What happened to Lao Cao?" — Lin Hanchuan
Mo Lingyun – “He and Shi Chen, along with hundreds of guild members, are trapped in a level 90 map in the Eternal Forbidden Land.”

"Tell me in more detail!" Lin Hanchuan asked hurriedly.

A level 90 map!?

Although Lao Cao is a bit reserved and not good at expressing his opinions, he is definitely steady in his work. It's impossible for him to go and farm level 90 maps knowing that he hasn't reached the fourth job advancement yet.

What's more, he was taking a group of people with him.

Mo Lingyun: "Here's what happened. Old Cao and Shi Chen went to the Forbidden Land to get a mine after listening to Qiu Ci. But they didn't expect that the mine would collapse while they were defending the arena, triggering the hidden underground teleportation array, which directly teleported them to an 80-level 'Yellow Sky Desert' map."

Mo Lingyun: "This map is a bit terrifying. Whether it's the sky, the ground, or the underground, it's filled with all sorts of restrictive lights. Although we were very careful along the way, we still lost thirty or forty people. Fortunately, the final result was good. They discovered the main mineral vein hidden in the 'Yellow Sky Desert' map, which contains nearly a hundred kinds of minerals, and the quality of them is generally five-star."

Mo Lingyun: "But then something strange happened. When they arrived at the center of the mine, the surrounding void suddenly collapsed, and everyone was caught in the void turbulence. When they came to their senses, they had entered a level 90 map in the Forbidden Land, called the Forbidden Prison."

Mo Lingyun: "The scene inside is filled with denser and more varied restrictive lights. In addition, level 90 monsters can appear at any time. In just two hours, half of my brothers have been wiped out inside."

Mo Lingyun: "This matter has attracted the attention of all major forces in the city, and we need to resolve it as soon as possible."

"I'm in another dimension, and I can only chat with you online because of the special circumstances of my mission. The map filled with restrictions is somewhat similar to a maze. The astrologer profession is good at dealing with this kind of map and can find the right solution in chaotic situations. Isn't there an astrologer named 'Wu Xie' in Wangyue City? Just go find him." — Lin Hanchuan was also anxious, but he couldn't spare the time, so he could only offer advice to Lao Mo.

He had encountered forbidden maps in his previous life.

It's clear that a map filled with restrictions is no different from one riddled with traps.

In the game, only a few professions, such as Astrologers, are able to counter these types of maps.

Mo Lingyun: "Okay! I'll go find someone right away."

Exiting the chat panel, Lin Hanchuan opened the Descent Forum, which he hadn't opened since entering the Eighth District. The Descent Forum was already flooded with posts about the Forbidden Land.

[Breaking News! Two hall masters of the Heavenly Path Guild, leading hundreds of guild members, are trapped in the level 90 map of the Eternal Forbidden Land!]

[Breaking News! Members of the Heavenly Path Guild, led by Bloodhand Demon Slayer, are now trapped in the Forbidden Land! The remaining members of the Heavenly Path Guild have begun taking action.]

[My goodness, no wonder they're members of the Heavenly Dao Squad! They dared to venture directly into the level 90 map of the Forbidden Land before even reaching the fourth job advancement!]

[Kanglong Youhui achieves a remarkable 92-game winning streak! He is about to become the first player in the ninth district to earn the title of Underground Arena King!]

[The brothers are trapped, and the White Owl of Arakawa has yet to appear in the Forbidden Land]

The forum was filled with posts about the Forbidden Land, and even though many titles were repeating the same idea, it couldn't dampen the players' enthusiasm.

As for the opening of the ruins in the Golden City of the Eighth District and his feasting in the Golden Hall, it didn't seem to cause much of a stir on the landing forum compared to the Forbidden Land.

Only one or two posts on the homepage mention it.

[A super-rich player appeared in District 8, spending nearly 50 million gold coins on a single meal]

The ruins of the Golden City are about to open, suspected to be left behind by deities.

Lin Hanchuan closed his personal panel, his mind filled with thoughts of the Forbidden Land, and muttered to himself, "With the astrologer's divination guiding us, there shouldn't be any major problems!"

A place forever forbidden.

Level 90 Forbidden Land map.

The howling wind roared like a ferocious beast, and gray dust swirled in the blinding light of the barrier, blurring everyone's vision.

Cao Renjie, Shi Chen, and Qiu Ci turned around and glanced at the few remaining team members behind them, their faces showing reluctance.

They came in with more than a hundred team members, but now... there are less than fifty left.

The map is restricted to level 90, prohibiting all forms of spatial teleportation.

Fortunately, they were able to learn some news from the outside world through the forum, and some guild members had entered the Forbidden Realm and were sending messages to them through the guild chat channel.

"Brothers, how's the situation over there?"

"The situation is not good. We have completely lost our way, and these restrictions are mobile. We could be caught in one of them if we take a step out of them."

"The vice president is mobilizing personnel!"

"Tell the vice president not to send any more people. This map is full of dangers; they'll just be easy prey."

"Don't panic. It's a level 90 map. Even if you die in there, you'll have something to brag about for a while after you come out."

"That makes sense!"

The members of the Heavenly Path Guild, who were trapped in the Forbidden Land, and the players who had just arrived at the Eternal Forbidden Land map were chatting enthusiastically in the guild chat channel.

There was none of the tense atmosphere that the outside world was trying to create.

Cao Renjie and Shi Chen were drawing a safe escape route map on the ground, with Qiu Ci giving them instructions.

“This area is drawn incorrectly. The area under the Death Restriction should be larger, and the route needs to be moved to the side for safety.”

"Further down is the activity range of level 90 Void Beasts, which we also have to avoid. The two brothers who went out with me to scout the way died at their hands. Their third-tier strength was no match for them at all."

"The next area..."

Wangyue City.

Mo Lingyun had just finished chatting with Lin Hanchuan when she went straight to Wu Xie.

While discussing with Wu Xie how to go to the Forbidden Land to rescue Cao Renjie and the others, Long Xiaochen sent a message.

Long Xiaochen: "I already know about what happened with Lao Cao and the others!"

Long Xiaochen said, "The captain is busy, Xiaoyue is a musician and her skills are mostly for supporting the team, and Lao Mo, you are not good enough to manage the guild's combat power, so I am the most suitable one!"

Long Xiaochen looked triumphant after sending the message.

With the team leader absent, Lao Cao found himself in a predicament.

I have to be the savior!

I, Long Xiaochen, am getting up!

Before I could even grin, a message popped up on the panel, sent by Mo Lingyun.

Mo Lingyun: "No need! I can take a player over later and handle it. You just focus on getting a hundred consecutive wins and becoming the first underground arena king in the ninth district."

"Who?" Long Xiaochen immediately asked, not believing there was anyone more suitable than him.

Mo Lingyun – “Innocent”.

Upon seeing this ID, Long Xiaochen immediately recalled the time when he was besieged by a group of guilds.

"Is it the astrologer who contacted you last time, Wu Xie, the president of the Star Sea Guild?" Long Xiaochen confirmed again.

Mo Lingyun nodded emphatically, "It was him. Last time, it was he who used divination to direct the members of the Heavenly Dao Alliance to coordinate with the main battlefield, which allowed us to buy time until Lao Lin joined the battle."

"Alright, but... Brother Mo, give me a chance to prove myself too!"—Long Xiaochen didn't want to give up this opportunity. He was thinking of rescuing Cao Renjie and making him call him Brother Long.

Mo Lingyun – “This was arranged by Lao Lin!”

Mo Lingyun simply passed it to Lin Hanchuan.

Throughout the entire guild, anyone who brings out Lin Hanchuan can be intimidated, and Long Xiaochen is no exception.

"Okay! But if anything unexpected happens, be sure to call me!"—Long Xiaochen said with a hint of regret.

Mo Lingyun: "The main reason is that after I go to the Forbidden Land, the guild headquarters will need you to take the lead."

"Don't worry! Leave it to me! Whoever dares to provoke our Heavenly Dao Guild, I'll lead my men over and raze their house to the ground." — Long Xiaochen perked up again.

After settling Long Xiaochen in.

Mo Lingyun then told Long Xiaoyue about the matter.

After Long Xiaoyue learned that it was Lin Hanchuan's arrangement, she had no objections.

Everything was handled properly.

Mo Lingyun, along with two hundred members of the Heavenly Dao Guild, met with Wu Xie at the Resurrection Square.

After a brief greeting, the two headed straight for the forbidden area. (End of Chapter)
