Chapter 57: Entering the Hell-tier Dungeon! Perhaps This Was Another World to Begin With?

Inside the resurrection altar in the center of the main city.

When Yu Yurong stood there looking outward, her small mouth was slightly open, and her eyes were filled with astonishment.

That was because what reflected in her eyes at this moment was an extremely bustling, dreamy city filled with a continuous stream of pedestrians on the streets, radiating a magnificent, elegant, and grand atmosphere!

The architecture here was completely different from the modern cities full of towering skyscrapers; instead, it gave one a sense of...

The unique vibe of another world!

"Wow, not only is this style something I'm seeing for the first time, but even the surrounding NPCs feel so real!"

Accustomed to the grandpas and grandmas in the novice village, seeing the bustling crowd here made the level of realism in this game refresh her understanding once again!

Naturally...

After Yu Yurong finished her emotional exclamation, she stepped out of the resurrection altar.

She walked up to a little girl on the roadside, reached out with her small hand, and poked the child's chubby little cheek.

Then...

"Waa!"

The little girl burst into tears immediately.

"Are you out of your mind, you shorty!"

Upon seeing this, the little girl's mother fiercely scolded Yu Yurong, picked up the child directly, and walked away.

Yu Yurong: "......"

"Look, she even knows I'm short!"

"Tell me, isn't this real?"

Su Nian: "6!"

At this moment, Su Yu and the other three had also recovered from the scene that felt like a "new world" right before their eyes.

Zhao Dezhu spoke up first, "Master, do you think... this place might actually be a real world?"

"This level of realism..."

"It feels even more real than reality!"

*Now I even doubt whether our Blue Star is really a game called Blue Star Online!*

*And this place is the real world.*

Although they had been shocked by the realism of the game when they first encountered it a few days ago, staying in the novice village for too long made it feel just so-so. After all, day in and day out, besides mountains and trees, all you saw were old men and wooden huts...

Now, upon arriving at the main city, their mindset instantly became like country bumpkins entering the city, looking left and right, touching this and gesturing at that.

They would get used to it after a few days of familiarity.

Su Nian shrugged. "Who knows?"

"Perhaps this place..."

"Is truly another world to begin with."

Murmuring to himself, Su Nian took Su Yu's small hand and walked out of the resurrection altar.

"Big Boss, what are we going to do next?" Yu Yurong asked curiously upon seeing the big boss walk down.

Hearing this, Su Nian glanced at the time.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon...

"The bounties aren't urgent for now. Let's secure the dungeon's first clear first, and then we'll go treasure hunting after we get it."

Hearing this, Zhao Dezhu beside him was dumbfounded.

What bounties?

What was Master talking about?

Before he could ask, however, Yu Yurong scratched her head. "Dungeon... where is it? We're strangers in a strange land here, should we find an NPC and ask?"

At this moment, Su Yu suddenly discovered something. "The map shows that two hundred meters away from us, there is a teleportation array called the Dungeon Secret Realm. Should be this one, right?"

Su Nian pinched her little hand. "Whether it is or not, we'll know once we go take a look."

"Let's go!"

Zhao Dezhu waved his large hand and took the lead, walking toward the Dungeon Secret Realm.

Soon, the group of five arrived at their destination.

This was a wide-open area.

And floating right before their eyes was a circular portal.

As soon as the group approached the portal, a line of text simultaneously appeared in their fields of vision.

[Prompt: Do you wish to enter the Level 10 Dungeon—Nether Cavern?]

"Yes!"

[Please select the difficulty for this dungeon: Normal, Challenge, Epic, Hell.]

Seeing this, Su Nian did not hesitate and decisively chose the Hell-mode dungeon difficulty.

The higher the difficulty chosen for any dungeon, the more boss drops and first-clear rewards would be granted!

In his past life, not a single team had chosen Hell difficulty when getting the first clear of a dungeon.

Therefore, Su Nian was also curious how rich the rewards would turn out to be this time around!

[Prompt: It is recommended that a team of more than ten players enter this Hell dungeon. Do you still wish to enter?]

"Yes."

The moment Su Nian finished speaking, the figures of the five people were instantly sucked into the portal, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye.

As soon as they entered the dungeon, Su Nian and the other four were immediately ambushed by several cavern spiders!

[Cavern Spider: Level 13.]

[Grade: Elite.]

[Health: 1,250.]

[Attack: 135.]

[Skills: Bite, Web Bind.]

"Master, leave this to me!"

Before Su Nian could make a move, Zhao Dezhu slashed forward with the sword in his hand!

[-166.]

[-159.]

[......]

Enhanced by a purple-grade weapon, Zhao Dezhu's current attack power was not weak.

Yet two fists could not match four hands; no matter how fierce Zhao Dezhu's life steal was, it could not withstand the combined damage of several cavern spiders.

"We're joining in too!"

Yu Yurong looked at Ying Xiaoyu beside her.

"Let's do this!"

[Skill—Shadow Assault!]

[Skill—Merciless Iron Fist!]

Unsurprisingly, under the coordinated efforts of the three, these cavern spiders were sent packing to the afterlife very quickly.

"Keep moving forward." Su Nian led Su Yu by his side and took the lead in pushing deeper into the cavern.

Afterward, they encountered two more waves of cavern spiders, but this time Su Yu took care of them all.

And this time, after venturing nearly a hundred meters deeper, a big guy appeared before them!

[Ghost-Faced Spider: Level 15.]

[Grade: Epic.]

[Health: 12,880.]

[Attack: 340.]

[Skills: Rapid Bite, Web Bind, Deadly Toxin.]

"Oh ho? Still a mini-boss?"

This time, to avoid wasting too much time, Su Nian decisively took the initiative.

[Skill—Heaven-Incinerating Sea of Flames!]

"Boom!"

[-1,360.]

[-1,344.]

[Swish, swish, swish!]

In a single second, more than a dozen basic attacks landed simultaneously.

Then...

When the burning duration of the Heaven-Incinerating Sea of Flames came to an end, right before the five of them lay a giant spider, roasted to a crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, cooked to a perfect medium-well!

"Crack!" Zhao Dezhu reached out, snapped off a spider leg, and shoved it straight into his mouth.

"Ptui, ptui, ptui!"

"It tastes like charcoal, inedible!"

The other four: "......"

After a long period of silence, the group continued forward.

If nothing unexpected happened this time...

The final boss had arrived!

In a vast and gloomy cavern.

Su Nian looked at the densely packed spiderwebs hanging above the cave, waved his hand toward Zhao Dezhu beside him, and said, "Dezhu, fall back behind your master."

"Got it!" Zhao Dezhu understood instantly, pulling Ying Xiaoyu and Yu Yurong to quickly distance themselves.

"Rumble!" No sooner had the three run a dozen meters away than a loud explosion erupted behind them, followed immediately by the entire cavern trembling violently.

When the three finally steadied themselves and looked toward the center of the cavern, their pupils abruptly contracted!

"Holy..."
