He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

"Blank paper?"

Lu Chen suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and focused his mind to investigate again.

Sure enough, deep within those blush-inducing piles of items,

A white piece of paper with a unique material was found.

It was deliberately hidden in the most inconspicuous place.

If Shangguan Hong hadn't pointed it out, it would have been easily overlooked.

On a whim, he took out the piece of white paper.

The white paper felt slightly cool to the touch, neither gold nor jade, and there were no words on it.

But when Lu Chen held it in his hand, a line of semi-transparent information automatically appeared before his eyes:

【Name: Communication Charm (Fragment)】

[Quality: S (Artifact Fragment)]

【Effect:

1. Ignore most spatial barriers and copy rule restrictions to conduct one-way/two-way text communication (requires possession of the corresponding fragment).

2. Location (requires complete rune).

3. ? ? ? (Incomplete and cannot be displayed)

[Description: A fragment left behind after the destruction of a certain SSS-grade artifact, the "Void Communication Rune." It possesses powerful functions but is incomplete.]

"this……"

Lu Chen gasped. This attribute panel is just too overpowered!

It was actually a fragment torn off from an SSS-grade artifact!

The most impressive feature is that it allows communication without regard to dungeon mechanics, which is practically a cheat code!

Just as he was in shock, the piece of white paper in his hand suddenly became slightly warm.

Its surface rippled like water, revealing a line of clear black text:

[Plan is complete, prepare to retreat!]

The text appeared for less than three seconds before fading and disappearing.

Immediately afterwards, another line of text appeared:

【Who are you? 】

This was clearly the other end of the communication, who noticed the anomaly and raised questions.

Lu Chen was startled.

I don't know how to respond.

Five seconds later, the piece of white paper seemed to trigger some kind of self-destruct mechanism.

It spontaneously combusted without wind, and a wisp of eerie blue flame rose up!

"Depend on!"

Lu Chen was so frightened that his hand trembled, and he quickly threw the burning fragments forward.

The fragments quickly turned to ash in mid-air, drifting away with the wind without leaving a trace.

"Damn it! This evil cult must be plotting something terrible in the dungeon!"

And they've completed most of their plan and are ready to evacuate!

Ran Ruhua watched the ashes scatter and said through gritted teeth,

"We must tell the people outside this news immediately!"

"Forget it, Ru Hua."

Zanglong stroked his chin and offered a different perspective.

"I reckon those big shots outside already know."

Maybe they let them in on purpose, hoping to trap them like turtles in a jar?

If we act rashly now, we might alert the enemy.

"No! I still have to tell my dad! I have a bad feeling about this!"

Ran Ruhua insisted, glancing at one of her maids.

"Xiaochun, immediately abandon the dungeon, log out and go back, and tell my father everything that happened here!"

"Yes, Miss!"

The maid, Xiaochun, agreed without hesitation and immediately closed her eyes.

Concentrate and try to communicate the dungeon rules through your mind: "Exit the dungeon!"

However, nothing happened.

The exit from the instance did not appear, and she remained standing in the same spot.

Xiaochun paused for a moment, a look of confusion on her face.

Undeterred, they tried again, even three times in a row.

"Miss... I can't exit! The dungeon exit function... seems to be disabled!"

Xiaochun opened her eyes, her expression turning panicked.

"What?!"

Ran Ruhua's expression instantly turned extremely serious.

As expected, the Demonic Sect made its move, and with such ruthless methods, they directly blocked the dungeon's exit mechanism!

Are they trying to wipe out all the candidates who entered the instance?

Ran Ruhua dared not think any further.

"Xia! Qiu! Dong! And all of you, try it out!"

Ran Ruhua glanced at her remaining three maids, then looked at the four guards of the Zang family.

"Yes, Miss (Young Madam)!"

No one dared to delay, and they all tried to communicate and withdraw.

Without exception, all of them failed.

"Don't worry, if something's wrong, those old guys outside will definitely notice and come to our rescue!"

Although Canglong also frowned, he still maintained a "the tall ones will hold up the sky if it falls" attitude, trying to comfort everyone.

"Besides, we have Boss Lu Chen with us! What are we afraid of!"

He didn't forget to take the opportunity to flatter Lu Chen.

Just then.

"BOOM!!!"

A deep, muffled thud came from the direction of the pool!

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the rock wall on the other side of the pool was still bearing the aftershocks of the battle.

It suddenly collapsed, revealing a dark tunnel entrance.

A cold, faintly bloody scent wafted out from inside.

"Could this... lead to the Demonic Cult's headquarters?"

Qian Mengmeng looked at the deep tunnel and said uncertainly.

All eyes turned to Lu Chen, waiting for him to make a decision.

Lu Chen was actually a little restless inside.

Destroying the cult's stronghold and thwarting their plans sounds incredibly exciting.

However, reason told him that with his current strength, it would be too risky to rashly intrude into the enemy's stronghold, which might have been established for a long time.

Unless... we can quickly boost our strength again.

His gaze swept over the crowd.

Finally, it landed on the pool.

In the pool, many strange fish were thrashing about.

Yup!

Isn't this a ready-made monster spawn point?

Although there aren't many monsters, you can farm them repeatedly!

"Does anyone know how to quickly clear out all the remaining monsters in the pool?"

Be fast, cover a large area.

Lu Chen's gaze swept over everyone.

Chu Yu was taken aback. Although she didn't understand what Lu Chen was going to do, she still stepped forward and answered seriously:

"I can do it, regardless of the cost!"

She was referring to the same method used against the black-robed man as before.

He overdraws his life force and magic power to unleash a large-scale forbidden water-based technique.

"Alright, then just go ahead and kill them all, and clean everything up."

Leave the rest to me.

Lu Chen nodded and gave the order.

"Yes, Lord Lu Chen!"

Chu Yu no longer hesitated. She took a deep breath, raised her staff, and her eyes became resolute:

"Water Spirit Realm - Life Resonance Explosion!"

She activated the forbidden technique she had used before, but this time the range was more concentrated in the pool area.

Centered on herself, a vast amount of water elemental power converged wildly.

The water in the entire pool seemed to boil.

Then it was squeezed inward by an invisible, enormous force!

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

In the pool, numerous fish monsters, under this terrifying water pressure,

It was instantly crushed into mincemeat.

The entire pool was instantly dyed a pale red.

Countless tiny fragments floated on the surface.

Chu Yu's face turned pale, and she swayed, clearly exhausted.

"resurrection."

Lu Chen immediately activated his ability.

A green light swept across the pool, and the crushed remains of the fish monsters quickly reformed, with lively, wriggling fish reappearing.

"Continue," Lu Chen gestured to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu gritted her teeth and activated the forbidden technique once more...

"resurrection."

[Ding! All attributes +1...]

[Ding! All attributes +1...]

And so, Lu Chen and Chu Yu worked together, one responsible for "clearing the area" and the other for endless "resurrection."

An efficient cycle of farming attribute points has begun.
