Bronze Gate

Not long after, Lu Yuan's heavy sword shattered the carapace on top of the Dungeon Spider's head, and with one strike, he pierced its brain.

The Dungeon Spider let out a piercing shriek, convulsing as it fell to the ground.

Lu Yuan withdrew his longsword, flicked off the greenish-blue mucus from the blade, and looked towards Green and the others.

Green's defensive abilities were very strong.

Although the Dungeon Spider's strength was not weak, breaking through Green's defenses was still difficult.

With him blocking the Dungeon Spider's attacks, the others only needed to focus on attacking.

Although Zhuo Ming and the others were slightly weaker, the Dungeon Spider itself was not a particularly heavily armored ferocious beast, and their attacks could still leave marks on its body.

However, even their combined team attacks failed to inflict fatal damage on the Dungeon Spider.

After Lu Yuan finished killing his spider, the Dungeon Spider that Green and the others were facing still had the strength to fight.

Lu Yuan stomped on the ground, his body rushing towards the Dungeon Spider.

At that moment, the Dungeon Spider's sharp claws were once again blocked by Green's greatshield, and it angrily shrieked. Lu Yuan's body leaped up, jumping over two meters, appearing above its head.

The heavy sword was raised above Lu Yuan's head and slashed down fiercely.

The dark blade landed on the black carapace, and sword marks appeared on the carapace in an instant, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading around the marks.

Crack!

Shriek!

The blade tore through the carapace on the spider's head, piercing its skull.

"Squeak!!"

The Dungeon Spider let out a piercing shriek, its body convulsing violently, its sharp claws flailing in all directions.

Lu Yuan stood firmly on its back, thrusting the heavy sword down with force.

The Dungeon Spider's movements suddenly stiffened, and its huge body, about 1.8 meters tall, fell heavily to the ground.

Zhuo Ming and the others all stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.

"Too strong!"

"The head carapace of the Dungeon Spider is clearly the hardest part, but Black Knight split it open with one sword! How strong is that?!"

"A guardian-type actually has such great strength, I'm feeling depressed as a power-attacker."

Everyone spoke one after another.

Green glanced at the corpse on the ground, put away his greatshield, and said with a wry smile:

"Lu Yuan, you're too strong. I feel like we're holding you back by following you."

Lu Yuan smiled: "How could that be? This Dungeon Spider is much stronger than the spiders on the periphery. Two of them together would be a bit troublesome for me. If you hadn't blocked one, I wouldn't have been able to take care of it so easily."

Lu Yuan wasn't just being polite.

His strength was indeed great, but facing two such large Dungeon Spiders, it wouldn't be easy to deal with them in a short amount of time.

Especially since there were things like spider silk nearby, the terrain was favorable for the Dungeon Spider, making it a bit troublesome to deal with.

Of course, with his defensive capabilities, he wouldn't be injured, but the killing speed would be slower.

The problem is that he's going to the Relic now, and who knows what the situation is like there? It would be better to get there sooner.

If he's late and the Relic closes, it will be too late for regrets.

"Hahaha, you saying that puts my mind at ease. Let's pack up the materials and continue inside."

Green laughed.

The group took out the materials and continued to move deeper into the Dungeon.

As they went deeper into the inner circle of the Dungeon, the passage became wider and more intricate.

Some passages were even more than two hundred meters wide, like a small square.

And the strength of the Ferocious Beasts that Lu Yuan and the others encountered became stronger and stronger.

Even with Lu Yuan's strength, some Ferocious Beasts felt a bit tricky.

However, Lu Yuan's strength was not weak, coupled with the quite powerful Green, and the help of other Gene Warriors, although sometimes the fight was a bit difficult, they still steadily moved forward.

After advancing for a distance, Lu Yuan and his party passed through a rocky area.

Just then, a low roar sounded in the distance.

Lu Yuan felt the powerful aura and immediately stopped.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he looked at the direction of the corner where the sound came from, revealing a look of surprise and uncertainty.

What a powerful aura!

He had been in the Dungeon for so long, and this was the first time he had felt such a terrifying aura!

If he were to face it head-on, he felt he wouldn't have a chance of winning.

Green felt the same as Lu Yuan.

Green immediately raised a finger to his lips and gestured to Zhuo Ming and the others.

Zhuo Ming and the others stopped immediately and quietly looked around.

This was normal communication for a team adventuring in the Dungeon.

Lu Yuan and Green exchanged a glance, both with a hint of trepidation in their eyes.

The two carefully peeked around the corner and looked outside.

Beyond the corner was a huge passage like a small square. In the area at the edge of the passage, a Ferocious Beast covered in black scales, with a single horn on its forehead, and a body like a dog, about one meter and seventy centimeters tall at the shoulder, was tearing at the corpse of a giant snake that was more than five meters long, yellow all over, with a black stripe on its back.

There were also several giant snakes more than two meters long on the side.

When Lu Yuan saw the yellow giant snake on the ground, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, feeling somewhat shocked.

Black-Striped Snake, inherently poisonous, with great speed, strength, and physique.

Ordinary Black-Striped Snakes are only more than two meters long. A Black-Striped Snake that is more than five meters long is obviously an Elite Ferocious Beast!

The gene tempering degree of the Black-Striped Snake is at least 50%. Even Lu Yuan wouldn't dare to provoke an elite-level Black-Striped Snake.

To think it turned into a corpse in this ferocious beast's mouth?!

This ferocious beast is too strong!

Lu Yuan sized up the ferocious beast, comparing it to the illustrations he had seen before.

Before long, he knew what kind of ferocious beast it was.

Black Scale Horned Wolf.

This is a powerful ferocious beast distributed throughout the Sandstone City area.

The number of Black Scale Horned Wolves is small, but the strength of the pack is very strong.

The weakest Black Scale Horned Wolves are elite-level, and they are the kind of Elite Ferocious Beasts with a tempering degree of more than 80%!

It is said that the Black Scale Horned Wolf pack also has powerful ferocious beasts at the leader level.

They are one of the top predators in the entire Sandstone City!

To think we'd encounter this kind of ferocious beast here.

He turned his head to look at Green beside him.

Green was also turning his head to look at him.

Lu Yuan also saw a look of horror in Green's eyes.

The two exchanged glances and slowly retreated.

"Boss, Yuan Ge, how is it?"

Zhuo Ming asked carefully.

The others also looked at the two of them.

Lu Yuan and Green looked at each other, and Green frowned and said:

"It's not good, there's a Black Scale Horned Wolf eating there."

"What?! Black Scale Horned Wolf?!"

Zhuo Ming and the others widened their eyes, greatly shocked. Everyone lowered their voices for the first time, a little nervous.

"How could we encounter this level of ferocious beast here? The few of us going over wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth."

"Boss, Yuan Ge, what do we do?"

Everyone looked at Lu Yuan and Green.

Green also looked at Lu Yuan:

"Lu Yuan, you are the strongest, do you have any ideas?"

Lu Yuan frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "The Black Scale Horned Wolf is too strong, even just feeling its aura makes people feel a little scared. We are not its match, let's find a way to detour."

Hearing Lu Yuan's words, Green and the others also nodded.

"We can go back a bit. There's a fork in the road ahead that should also lead to the Relic."

Having made their decision, the group retreated cautiously, not daring to disturb the Black Scale Horned Wolf's meal.

They switched to another passage and continued forward.

As they delved deeper into the inner circle, the number of Elite Ferocious Beasts that Lu Yuan found dangerous also increased.

There were some ferocious beasts that even Lu Yuan hadn't noticed were dangerous.

Green discovered them all.

At this time, the benefits of having extensive experience exploring the Dungeon became apparent.

Green had spent several years in the Sandstone Dungeon, and he had a whole set of methods for avoiding ferocious beasts.

These were all experiences gained from countless deaths!

The group continued forward cautiously.

Before long, they passed through a small passage less than ten meters wide.

As soon as they exited the passage, they saw the corpse of a huge, yellow sand ant.

"It's a Dungeon Sand Ant! Judging by its size, it should be an Elite Soldier Ant! I didn't expect it to die here."

"Let's go take a look."

The group arrived at the Elite Soldier Ant's corpse and found that it had many knife and sword marks on it.

"These were left by Gene Warriors. It seems it was killed by Gene Warriors."

"I heard that the Relic is near the Ant Nest. Generally, Soldier Ants only stay in the Ant Nest to guard it. Could it be that the Relic is almost here?"

Zhuo Ming said.

The group revealed expressions of joy.

"Don't be happy yet, stay vigilant! Don't get ambushed."

Green said in a low voice.

Zhuo Ming and the others shuddered and nodded.

They continued forward and saw many more Sand Ant corpses along the way.

Most of them were Worker Ant corpses, but they occasionally saw Soldier Ant corpses as well.

Soon, they arrived at a small plaza.

There were many Gene Warriors in the small plaza, gathered in twos and threes.

Humans, Elves, Cat People, and Kobolds, the four races were vaguely separated.

There were also a small number of teams that were a mix of the four races.

And at the far end of the small plaza, there was a tightly closed Bronze Gate.

Various strange patterns were engraved on the gate.

"It's the Relic Gate!"

Lu Yuan and the others' eyes lit up, revealing a look of pleasant surprise.
