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

Shangguan Hong, Qian Mengmeng, and others stood guard on the sidelines.

They looked at each other, bewildered by this bizarre scene.

"Hey! You fatso, do you know what he's doing?"

Ran Ruhua nudged Canglong with her elbow and asked in a low voice, her eyes full of curiosity.

"Don't ask such questions! The boss has his reasons! Maybe he's practicing some kind of unparalleled martial arts!"

Canglong glared at Ran Ruhua. Although he himself couldn't understand it, it didn't stop him from blindly worshipping Lu Chen.

"You've gone too far, you fatso! How dare you glare at me!"

Ran Ruhua was furious and grabbed Canglong's ear, beginning a one-sided "domestic violence".

The maids and guards standing to the side kept their eyes down, seemingly used to it all along.

"Could Lord Lu Chen's power be related to this 'resurrection' ability?"

Looking at the constantly flashing green light and the slightly upturned corners of Lu Chen's mouth, Shangguan Hong had a bold guess in her heart.

More than an hour later.

Lu Chen repeatedly resurrected and killed the hundred or so various fish monsters in the pool dozens of times! Until—

[Ding! The system has detected that the host's strength has increased too rapidly, reaching the current limit of the instance space's capacity. Rule suppression has begun!]

Attribute points gained through 'resurrection' will not be able to increase temporarily and will only be unlocked after leaving the dungeon!

[Ding! Attribute point +1 (Saved, will take effect after leaving the instance)...]

[Ding! Experience +5...]

[Ding! Congratulations on leveling up! Current level: 7!]

Notification sounds rang in succession. Lu Chen stopped and checked his panel:

Name: Lu Chen

[Level: 7]

Strength: 9999 (+10)

[Spirit: 9999 (+10)]

Agility: 9999 (+10)

[Physical Strength: 9999 (+10)]

[Occupation: Life Master]

……

(Note: The attribute points in parentheses are suppressed and have not yet taken effect.)

The attribute points are suppressed to 9999, unable to break through the 10,000 mark.

However, it shows that there are additional stored attribute points, which will probably be added after leaving the instance.

He gained experience points normally, which allowed him to level up to level 7.

Even so, Lu Chen felt a surge of power within his body.

It was as if a single punch could shatter mountains, its speed was as fast as lightning, and its range of mental perception had also expanded considerably.

This powerful feeling greatly boosted his confidence.

"Okay, stop now."

Chu Yu withdrew her spell and took a short rest.

Lu Chen stretched his limbs, feeling the immense power within his body.

My gaze returned to the dark entrance to the tunnel.

Now, he feels much more confident.

"Let's go down and take a look!"

Without further hesitation, Lu Chen took the lead and headed towards the entrance of the tunnel.

"Boss, wait for me!"

Canglong quickly broke free from Ran Ruhua's "clutches" and followed her eagerly.

Shangguan Hong, Qian Mengmeng, Chu Yu, Ran Ruhua and their maids, Zang family guards and others quickly followed.

With caution and curiosity, the group jumped into the bottomless tunnel one by one, their figures quickly swallowed by the darkness.

"Bang!"

With a few dull thuds,

The group jumped down from the tunnel entrance, which was more than 30 meters high.

It landed steadily on the soft soil.

"It stinks!"

As soon as Ran Ruhua stood up, her face immediately scrunched up, and she quickly covered her mouth and nose with her hands.

The tunnel was filled with an indescribable stench.

It smelled like a mixture of rotting dead rats, blood, and some kind of animal feces.

It's so strong it's almost suffocating, making your eyes sting and bringing tears to your eyes.

The others also frowned, but compared to Ran Ruhua, they had slightly more patience.

He simply held his breath and cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

"Whoosh—"

Shangguan Hong quickly retrieved a fist-sized illumination bead emitting a soft white light from her spatial equipment.

The soft glow dispelled the darkness of the tunnel.

It also illuminated the chilling scene before us.

On the ground on both sides of the tunnel, there were a lot of bones scattered around!

There are all sorts of strangely shaped monster skeletons, but even more so, human remains!

Many of the skeletons still had flesh that hadn't completely decomposed clinging to them, emitting a foul stench.

Layers upon layers of bones covered almost the entire ground.

The ground beneath their feet was creaking bone.

"It seems this demonic cult has been lurking here for a long time, harming countless lives!"

Shangguan Hong's expression was solemn, and her voice carried suppressed anger.

"That damn bastard! He even preys on children!"

Ran Ruhua, with her sharp eyes, noticed several particularly thin skeletons nearby.

There were also some rusty but exquisitely designed longevity locks scattered around.

Her fist clenched instantly, her knuckles cracking.

He was so angry that he trembled all over, wishing he could skin those demonic cult scum alive.

Lu Chen's face also darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Although he knew the Demonic Sect was cruel, witnessing this hellish scene still stirred a strong killing intent within him.

A beast that can even harm children doesn't deserve to live.

"Let's go, keep moving forward! Since we've encountered them, let's wipe them out!"

His voice carried a hint of menace as he took the first step.

Treading on piles of white bones, we walked deeper into the tunnel.

However, this tunnel seemed to have no end, winding and twisting downwards.

The group walked cautiously along the path paved with bones for at least half an hour.

Apart from the occasional strange insect that darts by and feeds on carrion,

They still didn't encounter any living cultists, only deathly silence and an increasingly strong stench of decay.

An hour later, a faint light finally appeared ahead, along with some indistinct noises.

"There are quite a few people inside, everyone be careful!"

Lu Chen lowered his voice to remind him.

In his perception of life's realm, a vast and vibrant flame of life was gathering ahead.

There were at least a dozen of them, and none of them were weak.

"good!"

Everyone nodded, concealed their presence, and crept silently forward along the damp, cold wall.

After rounding a bend, the view suddenly opened up before me.

This instantly made their eyes widen in fury!

This is a huge underground cavern, with a pool of blood in the center that is over ten meters in diameter.

The dark red liquid in the pool churned and bubbled like magma.

It emitted a nauseating, strong smell of blood.

At the edge of the blood pool, intricate and eerie magic circle patterns were carved, flickering with an ominous red light.

In one corner of the cave, many living creatures—chickens, ducks, geese, dogs, cats, and even a few weak tigers and leopards—were imprisoned in simple cages.

They let out cries of terror and helplessness.

What's even more chilling is that there were also many human corpses piled up nearby, both men and women.

Most of them were dressed in rags, clearly civilians who had been abducted.

"Ahhh—"

"Woof woof—"

"quack--"

"You beast, shut your mouth!"

A man in black robes kicked the cage containing the dog impatiently, and the dog inside let out a pitiful howl.
