God-level Hero

When Da Fei arrived at the gun cabin, he was stunned by the tragic scene before him!

A pitch-black charred hole! At the bottom of the hole, it was like a glass floor that revealed the pile of ores and troops in the Holy Vine Cargo Space downstairs. How to describe this explosion? Is it directly blasting out the rhythm of an in-built dungeon space?

At this moment, three elders, restored to human form and blackened all over, were sitting on the "glass floor" below, gasping for breath: "Warrior—"

Da Fei hurriedly jumped down the hole and approached with concern: "Elders, how are your injuries?"

The elder sighed: "A bit serious!"

"This is a muffled blast! A big loss!"

Da Fei asked in surprise: "What do you mean by a muffled blast?"

The elder panted: "If it were an ordinary wooden ship, the power of the explosion would directly blow out the walls and dissipate, then the impact we’d rush onto would be much smaller. But the Warrior’s ship is too robust; the power of the explosion couldn’t escape, and all concentrated on us."

"The Warrior can directly understand it as popcorn explosion!"

Apu! Da Fei held back a mouthful of laughter almost bursting out!

Just then, Tamilia appeared: "However, if the ship hadn’t fused with the Dragon Bone solidly enough, such an implosion could have split the ship in two!"

Da Fei’s heart skipped: "Indeed, didn’t expect this guy to be so fierce."

The elder shook his head and sighed: "Warrior, we really can’t help you fight directly in the future, or we won’t have the strength to maintain the Wine God Barrier. Warrior sees it, just because we’re afraid of the threat of the Wine God we are unable to use the barrier, so any God-level expert can directly teleport into the cabin to explode popcorn! And there are many God-level experts, but Warrior only has one ship, so Warrior knows what to do in the future?"

Da Fei’s heart tightened: "Rest assured, Elders, I will be extremely careful. Elders should go to the hotel first to rest and heal."

The elder shook his head: "We’re fine; we can still maintain the Wine Pool while recovering, Warrior can tidy up himself."

Da Fei quickly said: "Got it!"

And just then, a wave of system prompts appeared on the screen:

—System Prompt: Your Vice Hero Selvia uses the Sea Soul Staff to absorb the Horned Demon Soul!

What’s this? Da Fei immediately returned to the deck, and sure enough, saw Selvia wielding the glowing red Sea Soul Staff on the deck, while countless red star debris hovered over the Blood Pool, swirling and constantly flowing towards the Sea Soul Staff. Although he did not know what was going on, it was mostly related to this Demon God’s "Gathering the Power of Ten Thousand People" ultimate move.

Da Fei was satisfied: "Great, not a total loss after all!"

Selvia nodded: "These low-level Demon Souls aren’t very useful for the Sea Soul Staff; I suggest collecting them to nourish Nasir’s Soul Devouring, what does the Captain think?"

You’re better at this than I am! Da Fei clapped and laughed: "Good, let Nasir immediately use the absorbed soul power to create beetles. We’re attacked here because our production progress can’t keep up!"

"Got it, Captain!"

Da Fei again called Tamilia: "Don’t worry about the shabby cabin, continue working!"

"Yes, Lord City Lord!"

Then Da Fei found Hillsea standing respectfully behind him. Not bad, you always show up at the perfect time! I have something to ask!

Da Fei sighed: "Hillsea, if not for the three elders’ intervention, we’d be finished. Your elder brother is really powerful?"

Hillsea quickly bowed: "Master, I deeply apologize; I underestimated this heir’s strength! As the heir of the City Lord, he surely has some unseen powers."

Da Fei laughed in surprise: "Seems like he also said before self-destructing he underestimated us, meaning he can still be stronger?"

Hillsea quickly replied: "One of the demon’s nature is indeed arrogance, inadvertently underestimating opponents; however, after this self-destruction, he will be much weaker for a long period—or rather if not underestimated, in the near future."

Da Fei remembered something and took out the only trophy from this battle: "Look, what’s this Demon King Trial Crystal Stone?"

—Demon King Trial Crystal Stone: Special item. Key to entering a special trial scene.

Hillsea took a look at the crystal and suddenly realized: "Not surprisingly, as the City Lord’s heir, he’s qualified to open the trial space gate—Master, this is the literal meaning; once master uses it, you can enter the Demon King’s trial space to test warriors. There are several super difficult Mythical Level trial spaces, namely ’Minotaur Labyrinth,’ ’Pandora’s Box,’ ’Medusa’s Eye,’ and others; each trial space completion level is Mythical Level, S-Level, A-Level, B-Level, C-Level; the completion level is different, and the rewards vary, but—"

Upon hearing this, Da Fei suddenly realized that this is a high-level hidden dungeon key! However, unlike others, this key can open multiple dungeons, and it seems to be a permanent key that can be used continuously. It’s indeed different from the one-time dungeon keys exchanged with merit prestige or found through treasure hunting.

Da Fei then asked, "However, what?"

At this point, Hillsea shook his head and sighed, "However, even if the master passes the trial, the rewards won’t be fully obtained, because this is the trial ground specifically for warriors of the Hell Race. Even with an S-level clearance, the spoils of the ground itself are usually not high, and the main rewards can only be obtained from the Demon King. Since the master is a human warrior, maybe the master can consider trading it with the Hell Camp."

Da Fei was stunned on the spot! No way, the only spoils I got can’t even be used for myself? Who in the world is qualified to trade with me?

Da Fei asked in disbelief, "Exclusive to Hell Race warriors? Does that mean every race’s warriors have their own specific trial grounds?"

Hillsea nodded, "That’s for sure, but I reckon only General Level or King Level prominent figures are likely to issue these trial missions. With the master’s achievements, meeting these big figures and receiving trial missions should not be difficult. Oh yes, these trial missions have a common trait—once a warrior or team completes a trial, other warriors won’t be able to take the trial for a long time. So, these trials are competitive challenges."

Da Fei let out a long sigh, "I understand."

Dungeons are truly something Da Fei rarely plays; his goal has always been the Star Sea. Oh well, maybe in the future he’ll study dungeons when he’s bored.

Hillsea then asked, "Does the master have any other questions? If not, I’ll continue with the demolition of the barracks."

Da Fei nodded, "Yes, go ahead, hurry up."

"Yes, master!"

Now, Da Fei’s entire army was once again busy with their respective duties, while the battle also left Da Fei with some reflection. Frankly speaking, this fight didn’t count as a win for Da Fei. Looking at the complete destruction of the Gun Cabin, it can only be considered a Pyrrhic victory. The so-called advantages of timing and terrain didn’t provide much edge, and the existence of Demon God-level experts is still not something that can be managed by one’s own strength alone.

Ultimately, it’s because I was too greedy and stayed in one place for too long, violating the guerrilla principle of hitting and moving. And staying long was because my worker beetles hadn’t formed a scale yet—they still needed time to develop and accumulate. Once I’ve survived the development phase, wherever I go will be left barren like locusts passing through.

Now with over a thousand Evil Demons and another big wave of beetles about to emerge, the development phase is almost over. This kind of situation must never happen again.

At this moment, Da Fei was wide awake, and amidst the idle waiting, he started flipping through this Trial Stone. Speaking of which, can this thing only be sold back to Brother hemorrhoids? But this was a dungeon completed by Japanese players, will it still be usable when brought back to the China Region?

In boredom, Da Fei tried clicking to use it.

—System Prompt: You have used the "Demon King’s Trial Key," opening a series of trial dungeon scenes. Please choose the scene you will enter:

1: Pandora’s Box: Mythical Level Dungeon. Already S-level cleared by the Japanese player "Hattori Shoji" team. The next dungeon reset time is in 17 days, 3 hours, and 36 minutes.

2: Minotaur Labyrinth: Mythical Level Dungeon. Already S-level cleared by the Japanese player "Hattori Shoji" team. The next dungeon reset time is in 15 days, 7 hours, and 21 minutes.

3: Medusa’s Eye: Mythical Level Dungeon. Already S-level cleared by the Japanese player "Hattori Shoji" team...

4: Terminating Blazing Angel: S-level dungeon. Already S-level perfectly cleared by the Japanese player "Hattori Shoji" team...

5: Holy Light Prayer Church: S-level dungeon. Already S-level perfectly cleared by the Japanese player "Hattori Shoji" team...

Da Fei’s jaw dropped to the ground!

Oh my goodness! All cleared by Japanese players, all having cooldowns ranging from over half a month to just a week—how can I sell this? And they’ve cleared all with S-level? Is the dungeon too easy or are the Japanese players too strong? Are Japanese players really this formidable?

Anyway, since there’s nothing to do, I might as well take a look at the so-called Mythical Dungeon, even if it hasn’t reset yet—checking out the dungeon scene should be fine, so let’s start with the first one.

—System Prompt: You have entered the Pandora’s Box dungeon. The current dungeon’s perfect clearance is rated as "Mythical Level." Note: Achievement levels of task objectives, troop casualties, and clearance time will all affect the clearance rating.

The scene changed, and Da Fei found himself standing among a hazy and collapsed scorched forest. Evidently, this was the battleground left by Japanese players; it simply hadn’t refreshed because the dungeon reset time hadn’t arrived.

Da Fei glanced at the System Prompt, eyebrows raised. Mythical Level rating? The Japan Region only received an S-level rating, right? Did they miss something that should have been tackled? Or did they have too many casualties and took too long, affecting the rating? If it’s the former, then perhaps there’s a chance for me to pick up something they overlooked?

Just when Da Fei was thinking this, a golden flash appeared on Da Fei’s radar:

—System Prompt: The Divine Detector has discovered the presence of a divine entity in the current space, located nearby!

Da Fei was momentarily stunned, then extremely overjoyed! This is Makar’s Divine Detector—it really is an opportunity to pick up something worthwhile! Wow! Haha! Great, since the loot from an S-level dungeon isn’t high, let me see what a Mythical Level loot is like!
