Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

A response came from the darkness.

"Tap, tap, tap tap tap..."

A series of rapid hoofbeats rang out.

In the darkness ahead, pairs of scarlet eyes appeared.

Their shapes were quickly revealed.

These are the monsters in the dungeon:

Twisted shadow wolves, misplaced gargoyles, corrosive beasts with exposed entrails...

Due to the corruption of "chaotic power", their bodies became "disordered" and their limbs were misaligned.

The internal organs were vaguely visible in the ruptured chest cavity, their appearance grotesque and terrifying.

But at this moment, their movements were unusually orderly.

One after another, they were neatly arranged in two rows.

Then, walk to a point ten meters in front of Lin Yu and the other three—

With forelimbs bent, head lowered, kneeling on the ground.

It was clear that their bodies were trembling.

It wasn't out of fear, but rather excitement and fervor.

Before long, a densely packed group of magical beasts knelt on the floor of the wide corridor ahead.

Immediately afterwards, an even bigger commotion came from deep within.

"Thump...thump...thump..."

The heavy footsteps made the ground tremble slightly with each step.

A massive figure emerged from the darkness.

The figure was five meters tall, and although it was humanoid, its body was extremely distorted.

The left arm extends from the right shoulder, the right leg extends from the side of the waist, the three eyes are arranged in a triangle on the face, and the mouth is on the forehead.

It is the final boss of the dungeon, the "Rift Monitor"!

Lin Yu subconsciously tensed up.

However, the "Rift Monitor" did not attack.

Because it was running so fast, it couldn't stop and slid to its knees in front of Lin Yu and the other three!

"We were unaware of Your Excellency's arrival; we deserve to die!"

The "Rift Monitor" lowered its head in fear, like a frightened child.

Only then did Lin Yu recover from her shock.

He looked at Lin Shan beside him.

The blonde girl stood there quietly, her crystal-gray eyes calmly watching the monsters and bosses kneeling on the ground.

His face showed neither sadness nor joy, only a sense of indifference as if it were perfectly natural.

This instance is a space born from the corruption of chaotic forces.

All the magical beasts inside have long been affected by chaotic energy.

For them, the power of chaos is the very foundation of their existence.

Lin Shan, as the "Chaos Controller," is the master of the power of chaos.

Naturally, they are also their masters.

"My lord, what should be done with them?"

Lin Shan turned her head to look at Lin Yu and asked respectfully.

"Should we let him commit suicide to aid the Lord's great work?"

Suicide?!

Lin Yu's eyelids twitched.

Are they all this obedient?

Will you just commit suicide if you're told to?

"It is our great fortune to have the opportunity to meet Your Majesty today!"

Upon hearing Lin Shan's words, the "Rift Monitor" suddenly raised its head, its three eyes glistening with tears of excitement.

"I am willing to dedicate myself to Your Majesty!"

It even started chanting slogans.

The other magical beasts roared in unison, their frenzied energy resembling that of a pilgrim.

Lin Yu fell silent.

He glanced at the timer.

Only 1 minute and 17 seconds have passed since we entered the instance.

"No rush."

Lin Yu took a deep breath and pointed to the pile of "disordered energy bodies" neatly arranged in the corner of the corridor.

"Absorb all of this first."

Lin Shan nodded slightly: "Yes, sir."

She glanced in that direction.

One by one, those "disordered energy bodies" floated to Lin Shan's front and were instantly refined.

Each time she merged with one, a faint light flashed across Lin Shan's body.

After refining only 6, Lin Shan reached level 23, the same level as the other three in the team.

There were still more than twenty energy bodies in the queue, and they continued to drift over and be absorbed.

However, Lin Shan's rank did not change.

"This is……"

Just as Lin Yu was wondering, suddenly—

A warm and pure energy flowed from Lin Shan!

His experience points increased wildly, going from level 23 to level 30 before stopping!

"My lord, your level has reached the limit here," Lin Shan said softly, her voice tinged with self-reproach.

"Go on," Lin Yu said to Lin Shan, "improve Lin Xue and Lin Ya, and yourself."

Lin Shan nodded, her golden eyes looking at Lin Xue and Lin Ya.

The next moment, warm energy flowed towards the two of them respectively.

Golden light flashed around the two of them, and they quickly reached level 30.

Finally, Lin Shan herself reached level 30.

In the corner, only a few "disordered energy bodies" remained.

They floated there all alone, and as if realizing they hadn't been chosen, the entire orb of light dimmed a little.

The energy fluctuations began to become disordered, almost collapsing on the spot.

That feeling…

It looks a bit like an abandoned puppy.

Lin Yu felt a little sorry for him.

At this moment, the "Rift Monitor" moved its twisted body, as if it wanted to say something.

But they dared not speak without permission, their three eyes cautiously watching Lin Shan.

Lin Shan noticed its gaze.

"What is it?" she asked casually.

"My lord," it said hesitantly, "your humble servant dares to make a request..."

Lin Shan looked at Lin Yu, her eyes questioning.

Lin Yu nodded.

With permission, Lin Shan turned to the "Rift Monitor": "Speak."

The "Rift Monitor" visibly relaxed, and a hopeful light flickered in its three eyes:

"May I trouble you, Your Majesty... to witness the grandeur of the chaotic void?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu suddenly remembered the background story introduced in the cutscene when she cleared this dungeon before.

The "Disordered Corridor" became like this because several spatial fissures appeared here.

The power of chaos seeped from the cracks, eroding the area.

The "Rift Monitors" were originally assigned to record this spatial rift.

During those long years of surveillance, she glimpsed the scene on the other side through those narrow cracks—

That was a vast, boundless, and unpredictable chaotic void.

The power of chaos corrupted her body and distorted her form.

But it also made her yearn for and fanatically yearn for that void.

She wanted to cross the rift and go to that great place herself.

But the gap was too small, and she was too big to pass through.

This became her eternal regret.

Lin Yu looked at Lin Shan and nodded again.

Gifts of roses, hand a fragrance.

People are willing to kill themselves for you.

It's nothing to help her fulfill a wish.

Moreover, in a sense, she was Lin Shan's most devout follower.

With Lin Yu's approval, Lin Shan took two steps forward and came to the "Rift Monitor".

She reached out her right hand and gently pressed it against the BOSS's distorted forehead.

"As you wish."

As soon as she finished speaking, a golden magic circle appeared beneath her feet, enveloping the two of them.

The next moment, their figures disappeared from the spot.

After Lin Shan reaches level 30, she can stay in the chaotic void for 6 seconds using Void Shuttle.

They returned quickly.

The "Rift Monitor's" distorted face was now covered in tears.

"It's...it's too perfect..."

She murmured, her voice choked with emotion, filled with an unbelievable, dreamlike quality.

"So that's what... the chaotic void looks like..."

Her face held an intense longing, as if those six seconds were the most precious moment of her long life.

"If she likes it, take her for a few more walks." Old Master Lin was kind-hearted and couldn't bear to see people cry.

Lin Shan glanced at Lin Yu, a hint of tenderness flashing in her golden eyes.

"Yes, ma'am."

When he returned from the chaotic void for the fifth time, the Rift Monitor knelt there quietly, his face utterly calm.

My wish has been fulfilled; I have no regrets even in death.

She looked at Lin Shan, then at Lin Yu.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for granting my request."

She was silent for a moment, as if hesitating about something, before speaking again:

"My lord, I once obtained a dragon egg by chance from a rift..."

Its tone was somewhat hesitant as it cautiously observed Lin Shan's expression.

"I wonder...I wonder if it may be offered to Your Majesty?"

Lin Yu: ? ? ?

Dragon egg?

This thing is hidden in this weird dungeon?

Lin Shan looked at Lin Yu, and Lin Yu nodded frantically.

Lin Shan understood: "Okay."

Excitement and fervor returned to the face of the "Rift Monitor".

Her massive body moved with difficulty, climbing to a wall at the entrance of the corridor.

Now that wall has been "uprighted," it looks quite ordinary.

The Rift Monitor stretched out its left arm, which was attached to its right shoulder, and groped along the wall, seemingly searching for something.

A few seconds later, its finger pressed into a dent in the wall tile.

"Click".

A slight mechanical sound.

A wall brick dented inward, and a... popped out.

An antique treasure chest.

Good heavens, they actually hid the treasure chest at the dungeon entrance?

Lin Yu silently complained.

This boss is really bold; isn't he afraid that some bored students will find out about him?

The "Rift Monitor" respectfully picked up the treasure chest with both hands, walked back to Lin Yu and the other three, knelt down again, and presented it to Lin Shan.

Lin Shan took the treasure chest, turned around and handed it to Lin Yu.

Lin Yu opened the box.

A gray egg lay quietly on the velvet lining.

It is about the size of a basketball.

The surface of the eggshell is not smooth, but covered with fine textures.

In the dim light of the corridor, those textures faintly shimmered with a dark luster.

In the center of the eggshell, there is a fine golden crack.

It meanders and spirals, vaguely forming an ancient rune.

Lin Yu didn't recognize the runes, but just looking at them gave her an indescribable sense of majesty.

Is this a dragon egg?

Lin Yu could sense the extremely powerful life force emanating from within.

The three eyes of the "Rift Monitor" were gazing tenderly at the dragon egg, as if looking at its most cherished child.

"A hundred years ago, it fell from the rift," the Rift Monitor said softly. "I intended to hatch it, but the power of chaos corrupted this place, and it corrupted it as well..."

"It cannot hatch normally."

"I can only hide it away and use my meager strength to keep it alive."

"But now, Your Majesty, your arrival is its opportunity..."

It looked at Lin Shan, its three eyes filled with pleading.

"My Lord, you can control chaos, you can definitely save it."

Lin Yu looked down at the dragon egg in her hand.

The golden patterns on the eggshell seemed to glow slightly.
