Leveled Up Twice in a Row

"It's him?!"

To their utter surprise, the novice who had been following them all along actually came to their rescue at the crucial moment!

Moreover, judging from his skills, they are clean, efficient, and incredibly fast; he's definitely not a novice!

"A master? This destructive power, is he from the Martial Combat Faction?" Deng Yuanlong exclaimed in surprise.

"And it's the Heart Refining Realm!" Xu Hao's eyes rekindled with hope. "A master who can Hidden Qi must be a Heart Refining Realm expert!"

"There's hope!" Han Xiaoying, who had only had red eyes a moment ago, was now completely in tears.

"Stop talking nonsense!" Luo Jun sneered, "Let's go!"

The group was taken aback for a moment, then realized that the giant worm blocking their path had been kicked away by the masked man, and now a passage had appeared before them!

"Go quickly!" Bai Renxin ordered, and the group rushed towards the door with the injured Dong Huicheng and Deng Yuanlong. But after taking only two steps, they were surrounded by Soldier Ant on both sides.

The group had been under the Mental Control of the tumor, which had depleted most of their energy. Now, with two wounded soldiers weighing them down, their Combat Power had dropped significantly. Even ordinary Soldier Ant were putting them in a tough fight, forcing them back into a corner.

Luo Jun watched with growing anxiety, and couldn't help but click his tongue. He then flipped his hand, took out the Elemental Construct Box, and tossed out two chess pieces.

Two chess pieces landed in front of the unmanned area. One piece flashed yellow light and transformed into a pale yellow passport with a diameter of five meters, protecting them inside. The other piece turned into a small fountain, with blue mist spreading out and enveloping the area. The hunters immediately felt their injuries begin to heal faster. Even Dong Huicheng, who was the most seriously injured, had his charred dead skin slowly peeling away, revealing tender flesh.

"This is... such an amazing ability!"

The group couldn't tell whether the two chess pieces were props or his own abilities, but either way, it showed that the masked guy's strength far exceeded their expectations. Recalling that "tsk" sound just now, in their eyes, it was like a master who was just not up to par.

I've dealt with the most formidable ones, and you still can't escape? A bunch of useless cowards! Fine, I'll help you to the end!

While they admired him, a sense of shame rose from the bottom of their hearts.

Just then, the giant worm that had been knocked down got up, roared, and spat a fireball at Luo Jun!

Luo Jun made a mental judgment and nimbly dodged. At the same time, he kept throwing out chess pieces, and one after another, Flame Turret appeared, their range perfectly covering the entire cave. In an instant, fireballs shot out in all directions, and bombardment continued. The Soldier Ant were blown to pieces, and only the purple-gold giant insect could barely withstand it, charging towards Luo Jun under the fireballs.

Luo Jun dodged the giant insect's attack, slid behind it, gripped his spear tightly, and thrust it with all his might at its massive rear end!

This is the incompletely degenerated gonad. Luo Jun overheard Bai Renxin dissecting it to find its weakness, and now he can use it!

With a soft thud, the three-meter-long spear pierced halfway in, causing the giant insect's nerves to be severely impacted, its entire body trembling and emitting a piercing screech! Taking advantage of this opportunity, Luo Jun disassembled the exposed half of the spear, climbed onto its back, found the gap in the carapace where the head and thorax connected, and forcefully thrust it in, directly piercing the Subpharyngeal Nerve Ganglion!

This was the truly fatal blow. The giant insect convulsed and finally collapsed to the ground, only its legs twitching...

At this time, the ordinary Soldier Ant in the cave had been almost completely cleared out by the Flame Turret. Luo Jun pulled the spear out of the giant insect's body and retrieved the Earth Construct and Water Healing Construct.

After a short period of treatment, the three people with minor injuries have fully recovered. Although Deng Yuanlong's ribs did not set as quickly, the pain has been relieved considerably and it does not significantly affect his mobility. Dong Huicheng is still in a coma, but his life is no longer in danger.

Seeing that the insects had been completely eliminated, the group finally breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward to thank Luo Jun: "Thank you for saving us..."

"No time for formalities!" Luo Jun's attention wasn't on them; his ears twitched as he focused on the sounds coming from the surrounding maze. "Hurry up, this maze is swarming with ants!"

After saying that, he turned and left the cave.

The hunters looked at the spoils scattered on the ground. Although they felt a pang of regret, they knew that there was no such thing as living to earn money and not living to enjoy it. So they hurriedly followed and retreated along the way they had come.

The moment the Last One person stepped out of the maze, a series of notification sounds rang in Luo Jun's mind.

"Ding! Mission ' Rescue the Hunter Squad ' complete!"

"Mission Difficulty: 45 points, Severity Coefficient: 8."

"Final prize: 360 chips."

"Calculating mission experience..."

"Used dice 12 times during the mission, gaining a total of 1805 experience points."

Congratulations on leveling up!

Congratulations on leveling up!

"You can extract Attribute Points!"

"It has been detected that your level fourteen attribute has not yet been drawn. You cannot continue using the Dice of Heavenly Secrets until the drawing is completed."

"Congratulations on reaching level 15. You can choose to upgrade your existing skill ' Beginner Point Correction ' or draw a random skill."

Yes, Luo Jun's intervention was not solely driven by a sense of justice, but also by the mission itself.

In fact, when the group was slaying the Soldier Ant in the corridor, Luo Jun, with his exceptional senses, noticed something was amiss. A faint fragrance, barely perceptible to ordinary people, permeated the air, subtly tantalizing their senses. However, thanks to his strong mental attributes, Luo Jun resisted the disorienting effect and, fearing an accident, even took a few steps back. That's why Bai Renxin didn't see him.

However, when Dong Huicheng's team gave chase, Luo Jun became curious about what was happening ahead and followed them from a distance, witnessing the team being lured into a trap.

To be honest, seeing the team that had followed him all the way being besieged by insects and about to be torn to shreds, Luo Jun felt bad. However, seeing so many insects, including giant insects he had never seen before, he, a newbie who had just entered the Savage Wilderness, did not dare to make any rash moves.

Unexpectedly, at the very moment Dong Huicheng was seriously injured, the Dice of Heavenly Secrets issued a mission.

Moreover, it's an unprecedented mission that consumes five attempts in exchange for twelve more!

This put Luo Jun in a dilemma. A mission meant a high reward, and he was currently worried about not having a chance to level up... But if he really accepted it, could he complete it? So many ants, and such a huge monster, the Mission Difficulty must be quite difficult...

"Huh? 45 difficulty points?"

The Mission Difficulty information stunned Luo Jun; it was easier than the previous Mission Difficulty he had accepted.

Could it be... that this bug isn't as scary as I thought?

With the difficulty level assessed by the Dice of Heavenly Secrets, Luo Jun finally decided to accept the mission and made a dazzling appearance.

Once they started fighting, he knew exactly what to expect!

This big bug looks fierce, but it's not actually that powerful. Compared to the Giant Centipede in the Tower of Choice, it has a thicker carapace and is stronger, but it's not as agile. Overall, it's about the same. As long as you watch out for the fireballs it spews, it's not difficult to deal with.

This kick gave Luo Jun immense confidence, and his subsequent actions were fluid and effortless. He used the Elemental Construct Box to clear out the mobs, successfully rescued the team, killed the giant worm, and then left the maze.

The only downside was that he had intended to hide the Elemental Construct Box, but he ended up using it in front of everyone. Otherwise, given the situation at the time, the team probably wouldn't have survived the chaotic battle... Oh well, he'll just have to be careful in the future, especially when he's in Luo Jun's identity, and not take out this treasure.

"Thank God, I didn't encounter any more ants on my way out..." Upon seeing the sun again, Han Xiaoying's legs went weak, and she almost knelt on the ground...

"God my ass! It was all thanks to my dice that I chose the safest route along the way."

Luo Jun inwardly scoffed, but outwardly maintained his aloof demeanor. "We should be safe here now. You can all go back to the lakeside to rest..."

The group hurriedly thanked Luo Jun, but Luo Jun had no interest in dealing with them. He pretended to be angry and waved his hand, scaring them into leaving immediately, not daring to provoke this Hermit Expert any further.

I don't have time to waste on you guys! My brain is already overwhelmed with information!

Luo Jun focused his attention on the improvements after the upgrade...
