NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 217: Chapter 216: Don't Rush, the Game Has Just Begun!
BOOM!
The moment the system announcement descended, Chen Jun felt as though he had been struck by lightning.
In that instant, the smug smile on his face froze, and he stood there, stunned.
Because he was fully aware that his confidence and arrogance stemmed from his certainty that he could trap Zhang Yue within the "Night of Underworld Wedding" dungeon.
He never imagined that Zhang Yue would actually clear a dungeon that no one had managed to complete in over a hundred years.
Suddenly, emotions like anxiety, panic, and unease surged through him.
In Chen Jun's now blank mind, only one thought echoed: It's over!
The Chen Army and Glory Guild members were terrified.
Meanwhile, the Tian Guild and Heavens Hall were overjoyed.
"He actually created another miracle that hasn't been broken in a century? Truly a wall-hacker!"
"I knew it! Brother Zhang Yue would definitely come out of the dungeon unscathed. This is fantastic."
"Hiahiahia~ Chen Army, Glory Guild, your doomsday has arrived!"
Outside these guilds, professional players across all worlds who heard the announcement were all equally shocked.
Especially those who had once entered the "Night of Underworld Wedding" dungeon with the help of the Demon Set. Suddenly, memories came flooding into their minds.
"What's happening? Ah… my head hurts, feels like I'm growing a brain!"
"Wait, why do I suddenly remember things from the Night of Underworld Wedding dungeon?"
"Damn it! I remember too… Night of Underworld Wedding! Ghostly Xi… uh, no! Why was there a Ghost King? Damn it! I was killed by the Ghost King in one strike, and the dungeon ended. Where was Ghostly Xi? I never even saw her?"
"The Ghost King? Wasn't the dungeon boss supposed to be Ghostly Beauty?"
"I had it worse! I didn't even see the Ghost King. I got stabbed to death by a ghost assassin."
Because the "Night of Underworld Wedding" dungeon was cleared, everyone who had previously entered the dungeon regained their memories of it.
Based on these memories, the truth finally surfaced.
"So, in over a hundred years, no one has actually seen Ghost Beauty? All those fantasies about her unparalleled beauty were just wild imaginations?"
"I remember now! The dungeon task was to find Ghost Beauty and take her out of the ghost city. But in the process of searching for her, we kept getting attacked by the Ghost King. The Ghost King was an 8-star boss and had a ridiculously OP skill that greatly weakened our attributes."
"I recall too! I entered the dungeon three times, and every time I got killed by that damn Ghost King Mond. Damn it! The last time, I even found where Ghost Beauty was hiding—it was in a house in an isolated courtyard. But no matter how much I knocked, she wouldn't open the door, and then the Ghost King caught up and killed me in one strike..."
"I also found Ghost Beauty's hiding spot. When I entered, I heard her say, 'You're not the one I'm waiting for. I won't go with you!' Honestly, her voice was really sweet, like a soft-spoken girl~"
"Same here! I tried everything to coax her out, but she refused, saying I wasn't the one she was waiting for. Come on, was it because I wasn't handsome enough? I consider myself the most handsome man on Earth, second only to the author(and maybe the readers here). Who else would she be waiting for if not me?"
"Wait a second. If none of us could get Ghost Beauty to open the door, how did Zero manage to take her out of Ghost City and clear the dungeon?"
Everyone who had entered the "Night of Underworld Wedding" dungeon and recalled the dungeon's rules was left with endless questions…
Meanwhile, members of Glory Guild and the Chen Army began to panic.
———
[Sixth World Safe Zone: City of Ice & Snow]
The Glory Guild members immediately lashed out at the Chen Army:
"Damn it! Didn't you swear up and down that Zero wouldn't come out? This is your so-called guarantee?"
"Screw you! You've killed us all! Now we're done for! Zero's definitely going to double down on his revenge against us!"
Chen Jun was also at a loss.
At this moment, one of his subordinates advised, "The Night of Underworld Wedding dungeon is a fully sealed mode; it's impossible to communicate with the outside world while inside. Before Zero entered, we hadn't made our move yet. Since he just got out, he probably doesn't know what happened yet."
"Let's take advantage of this and quickly have our brothers in the field retreat. That way, we can minimize our losses."
Chen Jun took the advice, opened the guild chat, and was about to issue orders.
At that moment, Ouyang Ling'er, who was standing across from him, smirked and said, "Too late. I've already informed our guild leader of all the crimes you two guilds committed today."
As soon as she finished speaking—
ROAR!
A deafening dragon's roar echoed.
A massive 24-winged Extinction Black Dragon soared over City of Ice & Snow, blotting out the sky.
On the ground, Glory Guild and Chen Army members panicked:
"Zero has arrived in the Sixth World!"
Chen Jun sneered, "So what? How can he find where our members are hiding?"
Ouyang Ling'er smirked again, "Sorry to disappoint you again!"
She then pinged Zhang Yue in the guild chat and sent a message: ["I hired over a hundred scouts across the Sixth World. I'm sending you the locations of all Glory Guild and Chen Army members now!"]
Zhang Yue replied: ["Got it. Expense reimbursement will be covered by the guild later."]
Ouyang Ling'er then sent several field locations in the Sixth World to the guild chat.
Wu Haotian exclaimed, "Wow, how were you this thorough? Were you predicting the future?"
Ouyang Ling'er replied, "What else? Were you expecting our guild leader not to come out of the dungeon?"
"The first thing he'd do after coming out would obviously be to retaliate against Glory Guild and the Chen Army. So hiring scouts in advance—what's wrong with that?"
She then turned to Chen Jun and said, "Unless you can guarantee every one of your members is carrying a Return Scroll? But those things are low-cost-effective and take up space. Most people would rather carry extra Revival Scrolls than a Return Scroll, right?"
Chen Jun's face turned grim—she had hit a sore spot.
He quickly issued an emergency message in the guild chat:
["Everyone, return to the city immediately!"]
["If you have a Return Scroll, use it right now!"]
["If you don't, strip your equipment and hand it to those with Scrolls so they can bring it back to the safe zone!"]
The next moment, a guild member responded:
["Boss, can you be clearer next time? I already used my Return Scroll but didn't bring back the brothers' gear!"]
Soon after, reports of battle losses flooded in:
["Boss, we were ambushed by Zero at the Ice Fortress map. All 82 members were wiped out!"]
["We were hit at Frostwood Forest too. Over 100 members, completely annihilated..."]
["That guy's dragon moves so fast! We couldn't retreat in time!"]
["Based on the gear dropped, our initial losses are estimated to be several million…"]
Chen Jun hadn't even begun to grieve when he saw Zhang Yue post a message in the Sixth World public chat, clearly targeting the Chen Army and Glory Guild:
["Don't rush. The game has just begun."]
