LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 258: I Was Just Joking
If these young prodigies from various countries had not witnessed Ling Zhan's terrifying strength firsthand last night...
They might have naively mocked the non-specialist's act of taking on all the tasks, just like the onlookers.
But the problem was...
They had seen the horrifying power of this peculiar non-specialist firsthand last night!
Not to mention his feat of standing against the pressure of a level 100 martial god without kneeling!
Just his effortless kill of a level 61 second-tier Purple Flame King already put him ahead of many prodigies!
Such an existence already stood shoulder to shoulder with top young prodigies like Li Chaoge!
In other words...
This non-specialist might actually be able to complete all the tasks issued by the "Eden" guild today!
At least if Li Chaoge dared to make such a bold move, any prodigy present would believe she could succeed!
"Damn! I wanted to experience the dungeon secret realm today, but it looks like no chance!"
"Yeah, I guess I'll have to come back tomorrow."
"Don't give up yet, what if the non-specialist can't complete them? The monsters after the 50th layer aren't easy!"
"True, I asked the receptionist earlier, the highest level B-task today is to kill the Boss Resurrection Dragon Bone on the 81st layer, requiring at least five level 60+ strongmen to ensure completion. Even if he's strong, it should be challenging for him."
"Let's observe and see..."
Hearing this.
The young prodigies who thought the lower layers would be completely cleared today also paused.
They chose to stay in the guild hall to watch the surveillance footage.
The surveillance footage was extremely clear.
Even the distortion caused by magical elements in the air was clearly visible.
At this moment, dozens of "Eden" guild staff quickly brought in comfortable chairs.
For these platinum VIP card holders to sit and rest, making it easier to watch the surveillance footage.
As for the onlookers and ordinary adventurers, they didn't get such treatment.
This blatant discrimination only sparked silent curses and resentment in their hearts.
But they didn't dare express it.
The strong are respected.
This has always been the principle in this disaster-stricken world.
In the Dragon Kingdom, in such a public place, everyone would be provided with rest seats equally.
But outside the Dragon Kingdom, you can't expect such equal treatment.
The prime front-row seats were naturally enjoyed by Li Chaoge and the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox alone.
Even...
No one dared to sit beside them!
Li Chaoge's bright eyes focused on the live surveillance footage on the screen. For some reason, she felt a slight anticipation for the upcoming figure.
The Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, nicknamed 'Aran,' pouted, hoping the non-specialist who punched her would fail on the first layer.
She held grudges.
"Look! There's a figure!"
At this moment.
Someone suddenly shouted.
This sentence.
Revitalized the previously bored audience!
They immediately focused on the dozens of split-screen holographic screens.
However...
Bang!!
Before they could look closely, the surveillance camera on the first layer made a crashing sound!
Accompanied by violent shaking, making it impossible to see the screen clearly!
Huh...
What's going on!?
In less than a second!
Without time to react!
Another split-screen, connected to the shaking camera, also seemed to be hit!
Bang!!
Another similar sound!
Accompanied by violent shaking!
Buzz...
Next, these two screens were filled with overlapping static, as if the television lost signal, indicating the surveillance devices were damaged!
"Damn! What fast destruction!"
Quick thinkers instinctively looked at the fifth camera!
Because the fifth camera pointed at the entrance to the second layer!
They wanted to see what kind of monster could move so fast!
Even high-tech cameras couldn't capture its image!
These special surveillance devices, which low-level monsters couldn't destroy, were easily taken out!
Could the lower secret realm have refreshed high-level monsters!?
That's possible!
History recorded a level 72 elite monster appearing on the 17th layer!
And S-grade rare materials only appearing on the 23rd layer's hidden resource point, usually found beyond the 100th layer!
However...
What happened next on the screen stunned everyone present!
The fifth entrance camera...
Bang!!
Again!!
The monster seemed dissatisfied with its speed!
So it increased its speed!
This caused the fifth entrance camera to crash almost simultaneously with the third and fourth cameras!!
Then...
Buzz...
Again, like a television losing signal, the screens filled with overlapping static!!
"Damn!! Enough already!"
"Fix the cameras quickly!"
"What's the point of fixing them! Bring up the second layer's cameras!"
"Hurry! Top-prioritize the second layer's cameras!"
"I'm done with this! Can't even see a shadow, not even a hair!"
"As expected! The first layer must have refreshed an 80+ elite monster! Haha! Ling Zhan's in trouble now!"
"Right! I almost forgot. If Ling Zhan encounters such an elite monster, he's doomed!"
"What if... I'm just saying if, could this terrifying phenomenon be caused by that guy?"
Whoosh!!
The final sentence fell!
The lively scene suddenly became pin-drop silent.
The person who spoke scratched his head, looking up awkwardly.
Then...
He shuddered!
Because he realized nearly a thousand people were staring at him with terrifying eyes!
Even the female receptionists were staring at him in a daze!
In this tense moment...
"Ha... haha..."
"I was just joking!"
"Don't take it seriously!"
"How could a non-specialist be that fast!"
The person finally laughed awkwardly, explaining with a face full of embarrassment.
Phew!
After his explanation, he clearly heard everyone present sigh in relief...
