The trial dungeon felt different to her than any of the previous dungeons. First of all, the air here felt like it carried a slow-acting toxin; inhaling it for too long made her dizzy and lightheaded, and her lungs felt like they were burning.

"After arriving here, I always feel that my power is being suppressed very much."

Su Yu realized this as soon as she smashed that monster.

"My power is probably only half of what it used to be, or even less."

But even with only half her strength left, she was still much stronger than the natives here.

The girl seemed to be quite skilled, but she was only carrying an ordinary iron sword and wearing crude armor.

According to Su Yu's estimation, if this girl were to fight the ghost from before, she probably wouldn't even be able to withstand half a move before being eaten alive.

"Master, over here!"

Sand quickly discovered a survivor hidden beneath a pile of abandoned rocks.

Su Yu quickly walked over, pushed aside the stones, and pulled out the survivor who was on the verge of death.

The survivor was a young woman with a large hole in her forehead, and she looked like she was more likely dead than alive.

Upon seeing Su Yu, she let out two weak groans and pleaded softly, "Please save my daughter, please save my daughter!"

Where is your daughter?

The young woman cried, "My daughter was sacrificed to the dragon. That damned dragon broke its promise. It said it would protect this area and keep us safe from evil spirits after receiving the offerings, but... Waaah..."

dragon?

Upon hearing this word, Su Yu frowned.

A sense of foreboding washed over me.

"Are you talking about a black, enormous dragon that can talk to itself?"

The young woman slightly raised her head to look at her, her eyes filled with fear: "You...you've seen that dragon?"

"...I've never seen it, but I've heard of it."

Su Yu couldn't say that the dragon had now split in two.

One of them was even reincarnated and became her daughter.

Judging from the current situation, the place where the trial instance sent her is a place where the Great Dragon is still causing trouble, most likely a small coastal country from thousands of years ago.

With most of her power suppressed, will she still be able to defeat that dragon?

Su Yu felt very uncertain.

Furthermore, we haven't found any mission hints or anything like that yet, so we don't know what the conditions for clearing this part will be.

Do you know where that dragon is?

"It lies deep within the black sea..."

The young woman fainted after saying this.

Su Yu rummaged through her backpack, found a pill that could temporarily prolong her life, stuffed it into her mouth, and forcibly pulled her up.

"It lives deep in the ocean, and can only be seen flying in the night sky on a full moon night when the tide is high. It's truly terrifying! Its claws are enormous, and its tail has an inextinguishable flame; a single flick of its tail can destroy a town..."

The younger woman spoke, the softer her voice became.

"My daughter is never coming back."

She willingly sent her daughter onto a small boat heading into the deep sea, knowing full well that it was sending her daughter to her death in vain, yet she still told her that it was for the happiness of everyone, that it was the mission of a saint, so that she would willingly go to her death.

In reality, what is happiness?

The black dragon possesses the power to destroy the world; it can break its promises at any time, yet humanity cannot defy it.

After tonight, they will still have to send a young girl to Black Dragon every three months.

Thinking of this, the young woman choked up and collapsed to the ground.

"Who can save us?!"

Su Yu: "Please accept my condolences."

She needs to see what the mission is before deciding whether to greet the Black Dragon.

She wouldn't provoke the dragon unless absolutely necessary.

Here, if you're not strong enough, you absolutely mustn't be reckless.

Just as Su Yu was about to leave, the young woman suddenly grabbed Su Yu's leg and said, "I saw you kill that evil spirit! You have great power, you should go and slay that dragon and become a hero to mankind!"

"Thank you, but I can't. You overestimate me."

Su Yu pulled her leg back.

"Good luck to you, I'm leaving."

Sha Zi looked at the woman lying on the ground with a sympathetic expression.

Is she trying to morally blackmail her master?

They've clearly miscalculated.

376. Becoming a saint isn't necessarily a good thing.

Su Yu walked forward through the dark, damp wilderness.

As dawn broke, we reached the edge of a town.

The town was surrounded by tall barbed wire fences, and armored men carrying weapons patrolled the city walls.

Su Yu was discovered as soon as she approached.

"Who?!"

Su Yu raised her hand: "I'm not a bad person."

"Nobody will admit to being a bad person!"

One of the girls, wearing a silver mask, leaped down from the city wall, holding her sword high in her hand.

"During this special period, any outsiders who come to Silvermoon Town will be killed without exception!"

Since the other party was going to start a fight, Su Yu didn't need to be polite with her.

So she simply picked up the hammer and went to meet the attack head-on.

when--

After a loud metallic hum.

The girl was thrown high into the air and crashed into the city wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Su Yu did not let the other woman go while she was weakened. Instead, she leaped up, rushed to the other woman's side, and grabbed her by the neck.

In the shadows at the foot of the city wall, Su Yu squinted at her, looking at her coldly: "Are you calm now? If you are, let's have a proper talk."

……

……

Silvermoon Town.

This historic town has been steeped in stories of heroes since its inception.

A hero, simply put, is a human with special powers.

The heroes here can be roughly divided into two categories.

One type is those with high mental strength, who will become magicians or saintesses.

Another type is those with high strength, who will mostly become swordsmen or boxers.

Strangely, the male-to-female ratio in Silvermoon Town has been unbalanced for a long time, reaching a terrifying ratio of about 2:8.

Everywhere you look, there are women.

Moreover, they were all quite good-looking, and Su Yu couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Are there many who can become heroes?

The girl, who had been given a stern lecture, was now clearly much more cooperative.

She rubbed her aching neck and cautiously looked around, afraid that someone would notice she had brought a stranger into Silvermoon Town.

At this moment, Su Yu was wearing her long robe, and her head was covered by a large hat.

The girl's name is Goli, and she is a typical strength-type hero who joined the Swordsman Alliance two years ago.

However, her talent was clearly lacking; at least Su Yu couldn't sense much energy fluctuation from her.

"There aren't many who can become heroes."

Golly snorted, clearly dissatisfied with Su Yu's way of asking the question.

"The entire Silvermoon Town has a population of at least 20,000, but only 200 of them can become heroes and saviors of humanity."

Su Yu then asked, "Besides Silvermoon Town, are there any other towns nearby?"

Hearing her ask that question, Golly felt even more puzzled.

Where did this little dwarf come from?

Did she really know nothing about this continent?

There are outsiders who can sneak into Silvermoon Town without the Empire's notice?

"Silvermoon Town is just a relatively large town under the Empire's jurisdiction; there are several thousand other towns around it!"

When talking about her hometown, Goli was a little proud.

"However, Silvermoon Town has always been known as a land of talent. Other towns might not be able to produce a single hero even after ten years!"

Su Yu: "...I see."

As they were talking, the two of them arrived near Golly's house.

Goli has only one younger sister who is not yet an adult, named Geya.
