A Comprehensive Network: An Endless Adventure Begins as a Wanderer

Chapter 103 begins the wonderful dungeon crawl.

Cheng Yi and Don Quixote silently passed by a group of noisy goblins.

Goblins were indeed rampant on the edge of this wilderness. Along the way, Cheng Yi had already encountered no fewer than five groups of goblin squads.

The closer they got to the wasteland, the more elite the goblin squads became, including bear goblin warriors and goblin spellcasters dressed as shamans.

Cheng Yi had no interest in these goblins and simply passed through them, entering the outer area of ​​the mysterious wasteland.

The wasteland on the east side of Dragon Peak is even more desolate than the borders of the kingdom.

After walking for about half an hour, the terrain of the wasteland began to change drastically.

Cheng Yi stood on a low rocky hill, gazing into the distance.

The distant mountain shadows appeared particularly heavy against the leaden sky, with the upper part of the mountains completely swallowed up by gray-white clouds, obscuring the outline of the peaks.

The cracked flat land has turned into undulating hills, which are covered with waist-high weeds. Occasionally, collapsed stone pillars and broken statues can be seen among the weeds.

The stone pillars were engraved with blurry patterns, like some kind of ancient script, but they had been weathered away and were almost illegible.

This desolate wasteland once bore traces of civilization.

Then, the wind blew from the wasteland, carrying an ancient malice—

[Network prompt: Do you/do you want to enter the level 6-10 area of ​​the Secret Realm: East side of Dragon Peak?]

This is the dividing line between the border area and the true mysterious wilderness.

Cheng Yi turned to look at Don Quixote.

The young follower was crouching behind a rock, his right hand on the hilt of his rapier, scanning his surroundings warily.

"Boss, something's not right here."

There was a musty smell in the air —

Cheng Yi nodded.

"So I've decided to leave you here for the time being."

Don Quixote paused for a moment.

Cheng Yi pointed to the mountain range shrouded in clouds and mist in the northwest and its surroundings.

"That's a level 6 to 10 secret realm area. I'll go scout it out first. You can stay here and grind some monsters."

Since Cheng Yi didn't know much about the east side of Longfeng, he decided to explore it first.

Don Quixote is essentially just a level 5 wandering swordsman. If they encounter any troublesome boss monsters, even with him by his side, Cheng Yi will have some headaches.

So, it would be better to let him level up first.

Don Quixote also learned quite a bit through the web interface during these days.

They know that they can also achieve rapid growth through the internet.

So he didn't have any objections.

After all, Don Quixote knew in his heart that only by growing up quickly could he better help Cheng Yi.

He grinned.

"Okay, then be careful, boss."

Cheng Yi nodded, then his figure flickered and disappeared into the shadows.

Don Quixote took a deep breath and gripped his rapier tightly.

Now, equipped with magical gear, he is confident that he can defeat monsters that were once evenly matched or difficult to deal with.

I just don't know how strong the monsters in this dimension are.

The mountains and forests are even quieter than the wilderness.

Tall pine and fir trees stretched from the hillside all the way to the edge of the plain, their trunks covered with gray-green moss, their branches intertwined, blocking out most of the sunlight.

Cheng Yi moved silently through the shadows of the trees.

Instead of rushing up the mountain, he continued westward along the foot of the mountain.

The further west you go, the denser the pine forest becomes, and the steeper the slope of the ground becomes.

Cheng Yi could feel the mountain beneath his feet changing, and in some places he could even see exposed gray rock layers.

He stopped and crouched behind a protruding rock.

In his perception, there was a cavity beneath the rock, filled with structures that showed obvious signs of human intervention.

Ancient tomb?

Are we about to have to go through the classic dungeon crawling (crossed out) dungeon exploration part?

The deep corridor, the hidden doors, the traps and mechanisms, and the stone door at the end of the corridor covered with warnings—everything was so exciting (not really).

He extended his senses deeper underground.

The shallower level contains several small spaces, such as side chambers or burial pits, and below that is a larger main chamber.

There seemed to be an even deeper level below the main room, extending to a place beyond his perception.

He emerged from behind the rocks and followed his instincts.

Cheng Yi walked about two hundred meters southeast along the foot of the mountain and stopped in front of a shady stone wall.

The rock strata here show obvious signs of human intervention. At the bottom of the rock wall, there is a narrow crack about half a person's height that extends inward and disappears into the darkness.

Cheng Yi crouched down and summoned a shadow spider from the shadows beneath his feet.

Although Shadow Servants have the same function, they are not scouts specializing in reconnaissance and are ultimately not as useful as Shadow Spiders.

A jet-black spider crawled out of the shadow beneath his feet and disappeared into the crack.

Cheng Yi synchronized his vision with the spider's.

Behind the crack was a narrow passageway.

The passageway is flanked by rough stone walls, with a groove every few steps in the wall containing black grease, which must have been where fire sources were once placed.

The ground was paved with irregular stone slabs, some of which were broken and collapsed, revealing the black soil underneath.

The passageway was quiet, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Cheng Yi thought for a moment and then summoned a group of shadow servants from the Shadow Realm.

The Shadow Dragon Vein Warlock silently emerged from the shadow beneath his feet.

And among them, there are also a few new figures.

They were all servants newly separated from the Shadow Demon Realm by Cheng Yi, and most of them were abyssal demons.

He commanded his shadow servants to lead the charge, while he silently followed behind.

After passing through seven or eight traps and mechanisms, Cheng Yi finally reached the end of the passageway.

At the end of the passageway is a natural karst cave, which has been carved out by man.

In the center of the cave stands a stone pillar with indistinct runes carved on it, resembling some kind of ritual mark for suppression or sealing.

Now, the cave is bustling with activity.

There were more than thirty giant rats squatting in various corners.

Their fur is grayish-black, their teeth and claws are stained with dark dirt, and their eyes glow with a dark red light in the darkness.

[Level 5 Cave Giant Rat/Bloodthirsty Mutant/Elite Monster]

More than thirty level 5 elites?

So sinister?

If it were an ordinary network-based team, they would likely be facing a tough battle.

Fortunately, judging from its appearance, it's at least not the ruthless version of 4e that would tear adventurers apart.

Cheng Yi smiled.

In the past, he wouldn't have had any good solutions for dealing with these giant rats that almost filled the cave.

At most, it can deal some area damage with a dance attack.

But now—

Shadow Fireball!

Upgraded Dual Instant Cast!

The two explosions occurred almost simultaneously, and dark flames surged within the cavern.

A dozen giant rats were burned to a crisp in the center of the fireball, while those on the edge were scorched and screaming as they scurried around.

They instinctively fled towards the passageway outside the cave.

But what greeted them were rows of pitch-black figures—

Join us, great Shadow!
