Settling Scores!

"Damn it, a flying dragon!"

The originally menacing Chaos Demon King turned tail and ran away as soon as he saw the Gold BOSS.

The Gun Like a Dragon ferocity, the subordinates were too cowardly, and he himself was slightly embarrassed.

"Everyone retreat!"

Gun Like a Dragon said in a deep voice, "Ding Han, you have experience dealing with flying dragons. You go up and fight, and we'll all provide fire support for you."

"OK!"

Without hesitation, I charged forward, sword and shield in hand.

"Roar--"

In an instant, the dragon's entire body emerged from the cave, its gaping maw emitting a piercing hiss. Immediately, its terrifying "neckband" spread open, making it resemble a ferocious cobra.

With its neck tilted back slightly, then thrusting forward, the flying dragon unleashed a burst of flames in the next second!

Bio Flame Breath, the dragon's signature move that can annihilate anything!

I had no intention of going head-to-head. Just as the Bio Flame Breath was about to hit, I used Step Slash move five yards to the side, barely dodging it while simultaneously launching Leaping Chop to lock onto the opponent's back!

"Whoosh~~"

Supported by immense force, his body arced through the air, slashing heavily into the tender flesh of the dragon's back with his sword. Instantly, the warp-space biological shield rippled, as if in a spasm.

Keep the attack going!

In pain, the dragon struggled to take off, but the space was too small. It crashed into the top of the insect hive as soon as it flapped its wings, kicking up dust and pulling me to the ground.

Grab the squeaking parasite with one hand and keep chopping!

Meanwhile, the other players launched their own attacks, unleashing a barrage of bullets and psionic attacks that significantly weakened the dragon's biological shield. In less than 10 seconds, the shield was completely destroyed.

Next came the process of the Power Sword piercing flesh with every strike. In less than a minute, the bone removal from the wyvern's neck was completed, with all the skin and flesh gone, leaving the entire wyvern's neck looking like a delicious duck neck.

After several consecutive sword strikes, his neck was severed, completing the kill!

"Snap!"

A Gold Treasure Chest fell into the storage space.

My body crashed heavily to the ground along with the dragon's corpse. I then got up from the dragon's back, first glancing at the Guide, then at the crowd, confirming the movements of Dawn's Light, Wu Yan, and Loneliness.

The moment the BOSS is defeated is also the moment when people are most likely to let their guard down, and this is when the Guide is most in danger.

From afar, Gun Like a Dragon nodded slightly to me, indicating that he was there and everything was alright.

And so, I began to enjoy the process of opening treasure chests.

[Congratulations! You have successfully opened your [BOSS Ability Crystal] and obtained the item: [Conqueror-V Improved] (Quality: Cataclysm Tier, S8, Gold)!]

'Holy crap?'

I stared in disbelief at the system message.

Another one came out?

Previously, my Golden Conqueror was also obtained from a Wyvern. What a coincidence!

I immediately checked the stats of this new Conqueror.

It's not so much similar as identical; it's exactly the same. Even the firepower stats and additional attributes are exactly the same as mine.

Cai Cai is in luck.

Since the Blood Beast Breastplate goes to Fatty, then this Golden Conqueror will go to Cai Cai, for the sake of balance.

"Let's prepare to enter the third level of the Insect Well Ruins!"

Gun Like a Dragon, standing atop the infantry fighting vehicle, said in a deep voice, "Let's finish this quickly; everyone's exhausted."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Just then, my phone rang, so I took it out, set an alarm, and then pretended to walk aside and say something like, "Hmm, how could this happen? I know, don't worry, I'll be right back."

"Ding Han, what's wrong?" Xu Tian asked.

My expression turned somewhat grim. "Xiao Ying has run into some trouble... I'm afraid I have to go back and deal with it immediately..."

"Oh..."

"Your girlfriend is more important than anything else, so you should hurry back," said the Gun Like a Dragon. "If nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to handle it. We can probably get past the third-level boss by using up a few more Resurrection Sacred Canon."

"Alright!"

I took a deep breath, turned to look at everyone, and said, "Brothers, I'm really sorry, something unexpected happened at home, I have to go now. Good luck everyone, and I wish you all get the equipment you've been dreaming of!"

"It's okay, we'll be fine."

Yaoyao Is Here smiled and said, "Go quickly."

"Um!"

I nodded, turned and left, disappearing into the night of the insect hive.

When he was far enough away from everyone, he took out the golden Night Cloak he had taken out earlier from his storage space and put it on. The moment he put on the cloak, his body disappeared from the insect hive, leaving only a blur that was almost impossible to see with the naked eye.

"Drop!"

A message came from Gun Like a Dragon: "We're already on the third floor. Dawn's Light, Wu Yan, and Loneliness are all in my sights. You can turn back now. Are you sure you won't be discovered?"

"Rest assured!"

"Um!"

I turned off the chat, quickly turned back, and silently entered the third underground level of the Insect Well Ruins.

This map was even a little larger than the second floor. After entering the third floor, he quickly rushed into the darkness to the left and immediately pulled out a Phase Teleportation Core.

Let it work, random volume!

"Whoosh!"

After a flash of light, his body became a blur and shifted his coordinates.

Too far from the BOSS location.

Continue.

"Whoosh!"

It's still a bit far, let's go again!

So, after using 21 Phase Teleportation Core in a row, I finally arrived at a place relatively close to the BOSS location. However, when I looked over, I found that there was no BOSS at the red location on the minimap.

"Sizzle~~~"

Not far away, several insects were shaking their heads and waving their antennae wildly in my direction.

This is bad. The Night Cloak only provides optical invisibility, but it can't conceal my human presence. These insects can still detect me, and I'll be easily exposed.

So my gaze fell on the egg-like follicles on the rock wall not far away; those were the embryos of the Lord Bug.

He crept forward, took out a dagger, and with a "swoosh," cleaved open the Lord Bug's egg. The embryo fell softly to the ground, and a large amount of mucus gushed out.

To achieve my goal, I didn't care about appearances anymore. I grabbed the slime and smeared it on my face and body until my whole body was covered in it.

At this moment, the nearby insects suddenly became quiet.

Sure enough, the embryonic mucus of the Lord Bug masked the human scent.

"Drop!"

A message came from Gun Like a Dragon: "Have you gotten in yet?"

"They've entered and are already in the BOSS area."

"Be careful, go check if Moon Soil and the others are there."

OK!

Concealed within the Night Cloak, they silently approached the BOSS location, hiding behind a cluster of molted Caliban covered in underground bacteria, peering out from the shadows at their surroundings.

There wasn't a single sound. What's going on?

"Alliance Leader Long, the target has not yet been located. Be careful, advance slowly and cautiously, step by step."

"Understood, please be careful."

"Receive."

I patiently continued to observe everything around me.

Finally, at some point, the anomaly was discovered!

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the muddy ground to the right, then quickly retracted.

There really was someone there!

In the darkness, I removed the Conqueror's night vision goggles and quietly observed everything ahead. Sure enough, there it was. Although the infrared signal was weak, I could still see a group of players lying in the mud, their bodies covered in mud!

As for why I can't see the IDs of these people, it's probably related to the Number 17.

He was in the crowd, the bracelet on his right hand emitting a faint glow, a halo of light almost invisible to the naked eye, obscuring everyone's figures.

Now let's look at the players.

Not only is Moon Soil from the Holy Grail Dragoons present, but Blood and Sand from the Winner Takes All the North American server are also there; they've brought in outside help!

There were 30+ players huddled in the swamp. They were fewer in number than us, but their average Combat Power was clearly higher than ours. Moreover, their goal was to kill the Guide, so there was no need for them to kill all the players.

With the addition of the three traitors Dawn's Light, Wu Yan, and Loneliness, the surprise attack was indeed enough to cause the players in Huaining City to suffer a great loss!

"Drop!"

A message was sent to Gun Like a Dragon: "Alliance Leader Long, it's confirmed. Their hiding place is at [Insect Well Ruins, Underground Level 3 (1202, 2317)]. There are 36 people in total, including Number 17. They are hiding in the mud pit, and their infrared signature is not obvious, making them impossible to spot with the naked eye."

"Receive."

Gun Like a Dragon: "How do you need us to cooperate?"

"They are very strong, with elites from both the Holy Grail Dragoons and the Winner Takes All Hill guilds. Number 17 is cunning and suspicious. If I go straight in, my chances of winning will be very low, and I could easily be controlled by his Intermediate Authority and then killed. So I hope you guys make the first move, and I will seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. If you want to kill Number 17, you can only do so by sneak attacking, giving him no time to react and completing a series of kills."

"Clear."

"Your location seems to be a BOSS spawn point. Is the BOSS still there?" Gun Like a Dragon.

"They're not there, but the BOSS spawn point notification is still there, so they probably lured them away beforehand."

"Received, will contact you anytime."

Time slips away, bit by bit.

I hid behind Caliban's molted shell, remaining motionless, trying my best to endure the insects crawling all over my body.

Meanwhile, the people of Moon Soil and his companions, covered in mud, must have felt particularly uncomfortable in the quagmire. However, they were surprisingly restrained, with only a few occasionally scratching themselves lightly, and even then, the movements were very small.

More than an hour later.

Lights appeared in the distance; the players from Huaining City had arrived.

Worldly Uncontested, Shen Jin led his men at the forefront, his Gun Like a Dragon as he protected the infantry vehicle, while drones flew overhead.

In the mud, the group of people were getting restless...

In the darkness, I vaguely saw Number 17 slowly turn around, glare at the impatient players, and immediately silence them.

The sound of Gun Like a Dragon, rang in his ears. "Ding Han, we're about to make our move!"

"Superior!"

The next moment, behind the Gun Like a Dragon, more than a dozen players from the Crimson Firmament Alliance simultaneously took out their RPGs and fired rockets at the muddy swamp!

Immediately realizing they had been discovered, the other party also took action!

"Boom boom boom~~~"

The sounds of Explosive Charge continued as a group of elite players from the foreign server, led by Moon Soil and Blood and Sand, headed straight for the Guide!

"Go! Take them down!"

Number 17 shook off the mud, picked up his Mental Short Staff, and his eyes were full of ruthlessness. He raised his hand and cast a GM privilege, instantly immobilizing Worldly Uncontested and Shen Jin!

"Ruolin, do it!"

As I gave Ruolin the command, I slowly waved my hand and activated my Burst Skill – Void Shadow!

Immediately, another Ding Han, who looked exactly like me, rushed out, carrying a gray, hungry Power Sword, heading straight for Number 17!

"Number 17, watch out, he's behind you!"

Moon Soil suddenly turned around, his face showing surprise.

"Hmph, utterly ridiculous!"

Number 17 suddenly turned around, and like Conan, pointed his finger. "Stand there and behave yourself!"

The clone, immobilized by GM privileges, was completely stuck in place!

But in that very second, with a "whoosh," I transformed into a blur and burst out of the underground escape effect, followed immediately by the tip of a Power Sword protruding from Number 17's chest!

"Pfft!"

At the same time, the Storm Core was activated, and a Phase Barrier rapidly expanded in all directions!
