...

Looking at the gleaming gold card in front of him, Zhang Yun's face showed a satisfied smile.

He casually put the cards into his codex, then looked up at the two approaching card beasts and praised, "Hehe, Tyrant, you did a good job."

"Tomorrow, your master will buy you some energy cards to eat, as much as you want."

Coo-coo—!

The Slime Tyrant seems to be a glutton.

Hearing that its master was going to feed it, it was very excited. It leaped high into the air, shrinking back to the size of a fist, and landed on Zhang Yun's shoulder, rubbing its soft body against Zhang Yun's cheek.

Click-click—!

The little skeleton, Kaka, reacted relatively calmly, hiding its bone sword in its trench coat and standing beside Zhang Yun like a loyal guard.

Zhang Yun affectionately patted its head, then looked up at the twelve-armed Naga statue.

"Noriko, will that statue reward me with a palace decree and the favor of a sacred beast?"

[Dream on.]

[You entered as a team this time. Although your teammates left midway, the boundary marker will still register you as a four-person team.]

[Participating in a team doesn't count as a solo run, so the "Sacred Beast's Favor" event won't be triggered, and naturally, no Dungeon Token will be awarded.]

To obtain the favor of the sacred beast and the token, you need to complete the dungeon solo again.

"Let's do it again then, it won't take long anyway."

Zhang Yun put away the four-armed zombie Naga, turned around and walked towards the portal...

...

In front of the boundary marker.

People continued to line up to enter the underground palace.

The dungeon is a great place to farm cards; it can be challenged twice a week, and most hunters don't want to miss it.

However, most hunters are of average skill and usually only choose to challenge in a team.

At this moment, Zhang Qi stood on tiptoe, craning his neck to stare at the teleportation light that kept lighting up and going out in front of the boundary marker.

Her little hands gripped Teacher Lu's sleeve so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

"Teacher, will my cousin be alright?"

Lu Yan squatted down, ruffled his short hair, and comforted him, "Don't worry, Zhang Qi, your cousin is very capable."

"He will definitely be able to defeat the corrupted monsters and solo the Frostwolf Dungeon."

"We just need to wait quietly for him to come out."

"Okay, sure!"

Zhang Qi nodded vigorously.

Lu Xueqi stood to the side with her arms crossed, her gaze occasionally sweeping towards the boundary marker, hoping that Zhang Yun would return.

She wasn't actually as optimistic as her aunt.

The eight corrupted Naga are each capable of going toe-to-toe with the Golden Card Beast. Even her brother Lu Ming could only flee in terror.

Even if the three top players from No. 1 Middle School teamed up to challenge them, they might not be able to win.

Although Zhang Yun's little skeleton was strong, it had only been used to beat weaker opponents before, and she didn't think it could defeat those corrupted monsters.

Of course, deep down she still hoped Zhang Yun would win.

Suddenly, the boundary marker shuddered!

Om-!

A dazzling golden light suddenly shone forth, transforming into a pillar of light that shot straight up to the dome.

In an instant, the entire stone chamber was illuminated as if it were daytime!

"Boundary Marker Holy Light! Another powerful player has cleared the dungeon! Awesome!"

"My God, the second holy light of the season! Who is this incredibly powerful being who cleared the dungeon again!"

"Two beams of holy light in one night? I've been in the Hunter's Guild for 20 years, and this is the first time I've ever seen anything like it!"

"Today, Jiangcheng is really doing well! The Minotaur Dungeon received one Holy Light, the Frostwolf Dungeon one Holy Light, and the Naga Dungeon two Holy Lights—four Holy Lights in one day! This breaks the record for the highest number of Holy Lights in the past 20 years! If other cities knew this, they'd probably be shocked!"

"It can only be considered three beams of holy light, since one of them came from Xiao Lan, that outsider..."

"I wonder who released this holy light... I just saw the Shadow Squad enter the dungeon, it must have been them, right? After all, each of the four members of their squad possesses a mutated silver card."

"The Shadow Squad is a bit lacking, but the Wolf Warrior Squad has a chance. The Wolf Warrior Squad's captain, Liu Jing, possesses a Golden Flame Wolf Card, so their team has the highest probability of clearing the level."

"The Flame Wolf's attribute is countered by the Golden Naga, making it impossible to clear the level."

"Why not? Do you think the other three members of the Wolf Warrior Squad are made of clay? They are all elite summoners who have retired from the battlefield, top-tier experts!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, speculating about who had cleared the level.

However, Lu Xueqi and the other two had already confirmed it.

"It must be my cousin!"

"My cousin must have cleared the dungeon! Hahaha!"

Zhang Qi jumped up excitedly, clapping her hands incessantly, her little face full of joy.

The hunters nearby cast surprised glances at him, wondering whose child this little brat was and how he could be so brainless.

This is the Naga Dungeon, how could it be so easy to clear?

Compared to Zhang Qi's reaction, Lu Yan and Lu Xueqi's expressions were much calmer.

But their clenched fists and slightly trembling lips revealed their inner excitement.

They firmly believed that Zhang Yun must have cleared the underground palace!

Besides him, who else has this ability?

Om-!

The stone tablet trembled again, and several orbs of light appeared, coalescing into several human figures.

These figures were all trial participants who had just emerged from the underground palace.

As soon as they returned to the main hall of the stone chamber, they immediately noticed the glowing boundary marker behind them.

A young man named Liu Jing suddenly turned around, looked at the dazzling boundary marker, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Another person has cleared the Naga Dungeon..."

"It seems that our Jiangcheng is truly a place where hidden talents abound."

Someone shouted at him, "Brother Liu, did you clear the underground palace?"

Liu Jing wiped the blood from his face, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Our Wolf Warrior Squad doesn't have that ability."

"We originally planned to challenge the Golden Naga this time, but... we encountered a mutated Silver Naga leader in the second stage."

"She, along with seven Silver Naga, was unstoppable. Our team could only fight and retreat, withdrawing through the teleportation array in the first level."

Beside him, a teammate clutched his injured abdomen and said indignantly, "If it weren't for that mutated Naga leader interfering this time, we would definitely have been able to successfully challenge the Naga Dungeon."

"Damn it...we're so unlucky!"

"Sigh, we can only wait until next week..." Another teammate shook his head as well.

"Excuse me, thank you..."

A young voice rang out behind the Wolf Warriors squad.

The members of the Wolf Warrior Squad made way for him, glanced back at the young man, and couldn't help but laugh, "Young man, you dare to venture into the underground palace with your Iron Codex? You got kicked out of the team by your teammates, didn't you?"

I guess so.

Zhang Yun didn't offer much explanation, and led the little skeleton towards a corner of the crowd.

There, Lu Xueqi and Xiao Zhangqi were waving excitedly at him...
