Translator: 549690339
Return scroll.
A special tool created by the Formation Master and Alchemist.
It marks the return location, covering cities, maps, and so on.
As long as you are inside the map marked on the scroll, upon usage, you can instantly return to the marked city.
The return scroll in Liang Feifan’s hand was produced by the Chang’an City Professionist Guild.
In other words, as long as the user is within the map around Chang’an City, they can instantly return to Chang’an City!
For Professionists in the wild, it is undoubtedly a highly treasured tool.
Traveling is secondary; the main purpose is to save one’s life!
“We accept the bet!”
The one who spoke was not Zheng Cheng, but Yao Zhixue!
Everyone was surprised and turned to look at her, only to see Yao Zhixue also take out a sphere emitting an extremely strong icy aura.
“This is the monster core of a Silver-tier Frost Serpent. This is our wager.”
“A Silver-tier monster!”
“A monster’s core? That’s worth at least a thousand gold coins! “Holy crap, where did she get a Silver-tier monster core from?” “Perhaps it was a reward from the school or the official.”
“That makes sense, after all, she is a nine-star Professionist…
Yang Lie and others widened their eyes, especially Yang Lie, who hurriedly shouted: “Brother Fan! Quickly agree!”
“With this monster core, we will be rich…”
The several people excitedly discussed, but Liang Feifan’s face was extremely ugly.
He was supposed to bet with Zheng Cheng, not Yao Zhixue.
Unexpectedly, Yao Zhixue stood up.
For him, this was undoubtedly a blatant slap in the face.
He glared at Zheng Cheng angrily, gritting his teeth and said, “Zheng Cheng, this is your grand showdown, where the woman takes the lead?”
“Hehehe…’
Zheng Cheng chuckled and said, “You can also find a woman-”
His eyebrows raised, making Liang Feifan and the others even more furious.
Although he did not say it explicitly, who among those present would not understand what he meant.
Man or not…
Only women have the final say!
“Okay, okay…”
Liang Feifan laughed in extreme anger, gritting his teeth and said, “I agree!”
“Teacher Gao Yang!”
Gao Yang said, “Student competition is encouraged by both the country and the school.”
“Just like sardines, only through competition can the best individuals emerge.” “But under no circumstances should lives be lost. Understood?”
“I will keep these two items. I will make a fair judgement on who wins and who loses!”
“Okay!”
Both parties agreed. Liang Feifan laughed coldly and went with Yang Lie, Zhao Yeping and the others towards the dungeon entrance.
With a flash of light, the figures of the five immediately vanished.
“Brother Cheng, let’s go.”
“Okay!”
Zheng Cheng and his group also walked towards the dungeon entrance.
Cai Kun frowned and said, “What can we do, they will definitely choose the nightmare difficulty, do we really have to challenge the nightmare difficulty?”
Chen Xiao frowned and said, “What is there to fear, it’s just nightmare difficulty! We have Yao Zhixue… ah…”
Cai Kun shrugged, “Just Yao Zhixue alone carrying us four burdens?”
“Damn it…”
Behind, Zheng Cheng also spoke, “Thanks for this time.”
Yao Zhixue responded nonchalantly: “It’s okay. I also want to use this opportunity to get rid of Liang Feifan.”
“After all, we are colleagues. I don’t want to embarrass the team leader.”
“A Night’s Watch?”
Zheng Cheng asked, “Why did you join the Night’s Watch?”
Yao Zhixue’s eyes twinkled and she said, “It’s a secret.”
Soon, they arrived at the dungeon entrance.
“Brother Cheng, let’s pick the nightmare difficulty. We are ready!”
Chen Xiao and the others gritted their teeth, their faces bearing an expression of determination.
“Brother Cheng! If something is wrong after we go in, you and Zhang Ping’an should leave the dungeon immediately.”
“I can also assist Brother Xiao and Yao Zhixue by arranging a formation…”
Zheng Cheng, with a knitted brow, reached out to touch the copy vortex and soon a message appeared in his mind.
[Copied dungeon: Fire Rat Den] [Level: LV5 (only for professionists below LV5)]
[Number of people allowed: 5]
[Please choose a difficulty level: Normal, Hard, Nightmare, Hell]
Looking at the four difficulty levels, Zheng Cheng decisively chose… Hell difficulty!
[Ding…]
[Difficulty level confirmed! ]
[Current copied dungeon: Fire Rat Den, allows Professionists under LV5, limited to team of 5.]
[Dungeon difficulty: Hell.]
[Entry in progress…]
Several mechanical notification sounds echoed in the minds of Zheng Cheng and the other four.
A flash of light enveloped them all.
Chen Xiao, Cai Kun, and Zhang Ping’an’s expressions were priceless.
Shocked and unbelieving, even somewhat stupefied.
“Damn it…”
“Brother Cheng! The Hell difficulty!”
Just as the scream echoed, the figures of the five disappeared.
The expression of Gao Yang outside the copied dungeon drastically changed, and he hurriedly ran over.
[Friendly reminder: Your level is higher than LV5, so you cannot enter the Fire
Rat Den.]
“Damn!”
Gao Yang cursed, “Hell difficulty! Who allowed him to choose the Hell difficulty!”
“Quickly come out! Retreat now while you don’t encounter any enemies, hurry up… ! ”
“It’s finished…
This place was a barren wilderness with sparse vegetation and hundreds of undulating hills.
The mud and gravel on the ground were dark red, emitting a sulphuric odor.
A heatwave filled the surrounding air.
Beneath the hills, there were countless holes closely packed together.
Some of these holes are only one or two meters high, but some were more than ten meters high, like a giant mouth.
Inside the caves were winding passages, forming a huge maze.
At the entrance of the cave, five bursts of light flashed in succession, and the figures of Zheng Cheng and the others appeared.
Cai Kun was still screaming when Chen Xiao slapped him in the head.
“Stop shouting! ”
“We’ve already entered!”
Only then did Cai Kun stop, looking at the environment around him and the messages coming in his mind, he cried out:
“We’re finished! Brother Cheng! Old Cheng! This is Hell difficulty level… Why did you choose this difficulty?”
“Slipped your hand?”
Chen Xiao also asked curiously, “Brother Cheng, this is Hell difficulty, we may not make it with just Yao Zhixue.”
Zheng Cheng shook his head, “Don’t worry, since I chose Hell difficulty, I am sure.” “It’s not just because of Yao Zhixue.”
“This…”
“If it’s really unmanageable, you guys can choose to leave the dungeon now.”
“What are you talking about, Brother Cheng?” Chen Xiao immediately said, “We are brothers, of course, we will go through this together.”
“It’s just the Fire Rat Den in Hell difficulty. What’s there to be afraid of!”
“If Brother Cheng’s control skills work on the creatures in the copied dungeon, we can fight steadily, might possibly make it through!”
With that, he slapped Cai Kun on the back.
Cai Kun also gritted his teeth and said, “Exactly! I’m not scared at all…” Even as he was speaking, he was anxiously looking around.
Zhang Ping’an’s face was also grim, he took a deep breath and said, “Then…
let’s get a sense of the enemy’s strength.”
“I will first produce some plant essences for you, if danger arises, we will then leave the copied dungeon…”
The last part revealed his fears.
Yao Zhixue took a deep breath and said, “Don’t worry, if it really becomes dangerous, I will buy you guys time to leave the copied dungeon.”
“Let’s first draw out a creature to try its strength….
