Chapter 532: A plea for help from Yi Ning: Help me with a dungeon.
Qiao Zhixin lowered her head and followed closely behind Jiang Chen, like a child who had done something wrong, keeping her head down and not daring to look up.
She tried to explain several times, but the words stuck in her throat, feeling that whatever she said would be pale and powerless.
Jiang Chen suddenly stopped, and Qiao Zhixin, not paying attention, bumped into his back and pressed herself against him.
Jiang Chen felt the soft warmth coming from behind him, a slight smile playing on his lips as he softly asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Qiao Zhixin's cheeks flushed instantly, and she hurriedly shook her head, "No...it's nothing."
Jiang Chen turned to look at her and asked, "Where did you go after you teleported back that day?" Qiao Zhixin recalled, "I think I experienced two teleportations that day. When I woke up, I was already outside the core area."
Based on Qiao Zhixin's description, Jiang Chen quickly guessed what had happened.
The scale Antares gave her must have directly teleported Qiao Zhixin to Antares's side.
However, Antares seemed unwilling to pay attention to Qiao Zhixin, so he teleported her to another place.
Therefore, Qiao Zhixin felt that she had experienced two teleportations.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Then you went to find Huo Yuyao. How did it feel to see your own tombstone?"
Qiao Zhixin nodded vigorously, "I saw it. It feels... kind of strange, but also quite interesting. Sister Yuyao's calligraphy is very beautiful, and the location she chose is also very good, which will allow the tombstone to last longer."
Looking at her innocent and naive appearance, Jiang Chen couldn't help but find it a little funny.
Although Qiao Zhixin was a few years older than Jiang Chen, she was like a child in front of him.
"Let's go." Jiang Chen turned and walked forward.
Qiao Zhixin followed closely behind, asking curiously, "Where are we going?"
"Let's find a place to have a proper meal. That guy bothered us earlier, so we didn't get to eat well," Jiang Chen said.
"Oh," Qiao Zhixin replied obediently.
……
A roar suddenly came from inside the restaurant, and An Junzhi rushed out like a beast released from its cage.
He stood angrily on the roof, looking around for Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen was nowhere to be seen.
His actions attracted a crowd of onlookers as people came and went on the street.
Unable to find Jiang Chen, An Junzhi angrily turned to look at Lu Qingyu and the others.
If he remembered correctly, Lu Qingyu and the others were in Jiang Chen's group.
Seeing this, Feng Xiu coldly said, "What are you looking at? Private fights are not allowed inside the fortress. You don't want to make a move, do you?"
An Junzhi's face was grim as he gritted his teeth and said, "Kid, you better not let me run into you outside!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiu sneered, "The An family of Crystal City? Hmph, I'll go back and tell my family right now that if anything happens to me out there, it'll be your An family's doing. Remember this, I am Feng Xiu, the Sword God of the Feng family at Fortress No. 8!"
Lu Qingyu also sneered and said in a coquettish voice, "I am from the Lu family of Baiyun. If anything happens to me, your An family will not have an easy time either."
Han Li remained silent, knowing that her family background was not prominent and that she needed to keep a low profile for the time being.
An Junzhi was speechless after being choked by the two men's words. He had heard about the backgrounds of both families, and each of them was someone he could not afford to offend.
Feng Xiu gave him a cold glance and threatened, "Think carefully about what you just said. You're lucky you even have your life. If you dare to be so arrogant again, I guarantee no one will be able to save you!"
An Junzhi was so angry that his face turned ashen, and his chest heaved as if it were about to explode.
He suppressed his anger, turned and left, his eyes filled with resentment and murderous intent.
Lu Qingyu whispered to Han Li, "He wouldn't really go to find Jiang Chen, would he?"
Han Li sneered and said disdainfully, "It's best if they go. That kind of idiot isn't even worth a finger of Jiang Shen."
The two exchanged a smile, both brimming with confidence in Jiang Chen's strength. Given Jiang Chen's status and power, if he truly wanted to fight, why would he need to worry about the rules within the fortress? ...
The teleportation stone turned to dust in Jiang Chen's hand, and his figure appeared on the vast land of the Otherworld Battlefield.
In mid-air, he unfurled his lightning undead wings and gazed into the distance, spotting Yi Ning, who was engaged in a fierce battle with a demon not far away.
Yi Ning has already reached level 50, which shows her hard work. Compared with her peers, she is far ahead and has even surpassed the imagination of many people.
The diligence of children from wealthy families is often overlooked by the world. They have superior resources and equipment, but they still need to put in a lot of blood, sweat, and effort.
Lin Cai'er was like that; she underwent special training for several months without sleep, spending every moment in battle.
This is a snapshot of life for the children of large families; they pursue not only advancement in rank but also breakthroughs in strength.
Of course, there are also those useless slackers, but these people are not within Jiang Chen's consideration. He is focused on the truly promising and capable younger generation.
Jiang Chen witnessed Yi Ning's battle with the demon, but he did not intervene, because this was Yi Ning's trial, and she should face it herself.
They were currently hundreds of kilometers away from Fortress 4, an area teeming with demon hunters and constant battles.
With a sharp shout from Yi Ning, the horn atop the Holy Spirit Unicorn flashed with a dazzling holy light, piercing the demon's body like a sword and blasting it into pieces.
Yi Ning gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and rode the Holy Spirit Unicorn toward Jiang Chen. "Are you free now?"
Jiang Chen smiled and nodded. "Yes, is there something you need?"
Yi Ning said bluntly, "I'd like to ask you to help me with a dungeon run."
Jiang Chen didn't ask any further questions and simply agreed, "Okay."
Yi Ning seemed a little surprised. She added, "Aren't you going to ask what kind of dungeon it is, what the difficulty is, and whether you can even complete it?" Jiang Chen shook his head and said confidently, "No need. As long as it's a dungeon I can enter, I can complete it."
Although this statement was arrogant, Jiang Chen had sufficient strength to back it up.
And indeed, as he said, no matter the difficulty or type of the dungeon, as long as he can enter, he can definitely clear it.
Yi Ning led Jiang Chen towards the dungeon, explaining along the way, "This dungeon is called the Land of Holy Light. It's a level 55 dungeon, suitable for players between levels 50 and 60."
"I want to play on Hell difficulty, but I don't want to team up with anyone, so I can only ask you for help."
Jiang Chen nodded and asked, "Is there anything special about this instance?"
Yi Ning explained, “At the deepest part of the dungeon, there is a Holy Light Swamp, where the Holy Light is extremely beneficial to my summoned beasts. But the problem is that the BOSS in the dungeon absorbs the Holy Light from the swamp. Therefore, we must defeat the BOSS before it absorbs all the Holy Light, otherwise we will not be able to obtain the Holy Light.”
After a moment of contemplation, Jiang Chen said, "I can't guarantee success, but I will do my best."
Yi Ning said gratefully, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. We're friends. This is nothing," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
He didn't have many friends, but Yi Ning was undoubtedly one of them. He always helped his friends whenever he could.
The two continued flying for hundreds of kilometers and finally arrived at the entrance to the Land of Holy Light.
At this moment, the two had already penetrated deep into the heart of the alien battlefield, thousands of kilometers away from Fortress No. 4.
Before them lay a vast, dark, and desolate land, the air itself seemingly filled with the bleakness and deathly stillness of the alien battlefield. On this barren land, the entrance to a dungeon silently rotated, a unique feature amidst the desolation.
As the saying goes, things reach their extremes and then reverse. In this lifeless place, the entrance to the dungeon exudes a vibrant life, like a small oasis.
In the distance, several groups of people were fighting against demons, and the sounds of fierce battle rose and fell.
Yi Ning explained, "Because of the Holy Light Swamp dungeon, human professional teams often come here. The demons are aware of this, so they often ambush them nearby. Therefore, encountering battles here is commonplace."
This area is no longer within the human race's territory; demons frequently appear here, all exceeding level 50, and they come in large groups. Yi Ning's willingness to venture here alone demonstrates her courage and strength.
The two flew towards the dungeon. As they approached, they saw a team locked in fierce combat with demons. Judging from their fighting prowess, this team was formidable; the demons were utterly helpless against them.
Suddenly, someone flew towards Yi Ning from the group, calling out affectionately, "Ning'er, you're back!" Yi Ning frowned, clearly displeased by the arrival of this uninvited guest.
She said coldly, "Ignore him, let's go into the dungeon."
Jiang Chen responded softly, glancing at the person flying towards Yi Ning. This person was also a summoner, about the same age as Yi Ning, and his summoned beast was a golden eagle, which stood out conspicuously.
Whether it was intentional or purely coincidental, the summoner happened to block Yi Ning's route to the dungeon.
"Ning'er, we've been waiting for you for so long!" he called out again, addressing her as "Ning'er" with unusual intimacy.
Yi Ning's face instantly turned ugly. She shouted, "Get out of the way!" Then, riding the Holy Spirit Unicorn, which glowed brightly, she suddenly increased her speed and crashed into the summoner.
