The Two Hundred and Tenth Chapter: The Prince's Squad

In the three projections, whether it was Ma Feifei or the surrounding cultivators, most people focused their attention on the book "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

Firstly, because this book was newly released in the Bookstore, and the first attempt to complete it failed, people weren't very familiar with the dungeons in the book, so they were more curious about the new dungeons.

Secondly, the person who went into the dungeon was no ordinary person—a prince of the Great Chu! Just those few words were enough to attract a lot of attention.

However, Ma Feifei was unaware that the person inside was a prince. The reason he was paying attention to the <Grave Robbers' Chronicles> dungeon was mainly because the system hadn't given him a notification this time, meaning he wouldn't have the chance to enter the dungeon and become the boss this time.

Without Ma Feifei's interference, the Tomb of the Hegemon instance naturally returned to normal. Ma Feifei also wanted to see how difficult the Tomb of the Hegemon would be for readers under normal circumstances.

At this moment, the four people in the projection had already engaged in combat with the tomb guardian of the first level.

Judging from the situation of the fight, this four-person team was having a relatively easy time.

The elegantly dressed young man didn't lift a finger; he stood behind and curiously examined the tomb across the river of blood.

The other three men each single-handedly confronted three skeletons, their blades flashing and striking, the skeletons unable to survive more than three rounds under their blades.

The other two men in black had a slightly tougher time against the gravedigger, but overall they were still in control.

"The people here are quite strong! These two men in black are actually at the Spirit Venerable realm." Ma Feifei said with some surprise as he looked at the two men in black fighting the tomb guardian.

The difficulty of a dungeon is adjusted based on the team's strength. If the team's overall strength is low, the dungeon boss's strength will be reduced to the same level; conversely, the higher the team's strength, the stronger the boss will be.

The tomb keeper's current strength has reached the Spirit Venerable Second Stage, which means that the average strength of this team as a whole should be at the Spirit Venerable Second Stage.

However, the tomb guardian has a rather special resistance, and only Wood Element Cultivation Method can inflict significant damage on it. Therefore, to be able to fight the tomb guardian to a standstill, one must be at least at the third level of the Spirit Venerable realm.

It was obvious that these two men in black had reached the third stage of the Spirit Venerable, and were able to overpower the tomb keeper.

"This team is quite strong!" The cultivators inside and outside the Bookstore were somewhat surprised to see this.

Completely different from the script we saw a couple of days ago, this team completely crushed the boss on the other side, and one member even stood back and watched the scenery without lifting a finger.

"This team's strength is not bad! The tomb guardian on the other side seems to have increased in strength as well, with Spirit Venerable Second Stage! But why does it feel like they're not as strong as the tomb guardian who was at the peak Spirit King ninth stage last time?" A cultivator stroked his chin and said with a puzzled expression.

"Moreover, those three skeletons didn't turn golden this time either. Although they kept crawling out of the blood river, they were too weak and couldn't withstand a single blow from that middle-aged man," another cultivator said with a puzzled expression.

They had all witnessed the previous clear of the Tomb of the Hegemon and were deeply impressed. Now, comparing it with this time's Tomb of the Hegemon instance, the difference was quite obvious.

"Perhaps the opponent is stronger," one cultivator explained.

This is the only explanation we can use to explain why this boss, who is stronger than the last one, was still easily defeated by the team.

'Bang'

Inside the projection, two men in black joined forces and killed the tomb guardian with a single blow.

"We won!" Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but perk up. Defeating the boss outside meant they could enter the tomb and meet the real Emperor Chu the Conqueror.

"Young Master, it's ready." The middle-aged man jogged over to Chu Huaixiang's side and said in a low voice.

Chu Huaixiang nodded, looking at the tomb ahead, and said, "This tomb is interesting; it's actually an imperial tomb. I want to see which monarch is buried inside! Lead the way!"

"Yes!" the middle-aged man replied and walked forward, with Chu Huaixiang following behind.

"Wait!" Just as the middle-aged man reached the Blood River and was about to leap across, a man in black behind him suddenly shouted.

The middle-aged man was taken aback, then turned his head with a puzzled look.

The man in black didn't speak, but picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it towards the river of blood.

'Call out'

The pebble flew through the air and fell instantly.

A few drops of blood splashed up in the river of blood with a 'plop'.

"Hiss!"

The middle-aged man gasped in shock, a few drops of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

"Luo River!"

"What Luo River? Does your Luo River look like this?" Chu Huaixiang walked up, looked at the blood-red river, and asked, "Can we cross it?"

The two men in black were silent for a moment, then one of them said, "We need to try."

Chu Huaixiang nodded and said, "Hurry up, it's stuffy and uncomfortable in here. The sooner we finish, the sooner we can get out."

After saying that, Chu Huaixiang covered his nose and backed away. He was too close to the Blood River and the smell of blood was too strong, making it hard for him to stand.

The two men in black nodded. One of them took out a thin thread from his spatial bag and tied it to the other man's body, then grabbed the other end of the thread. The other man took a few steps forward and came to the bank of the Blood River.

"This is risking one's life to test something!" A cultivator outside couldn't help but exclaim upon seeing this.

"They must be royal guards, right? Born to protect the royal family, they've long since disregarded life and death," a cultivator said, looking at the two men in black.

The so-called Dark Guards were an organization established by King Chu Heng the throne to protect members of the royal family. Its primary purpose at the beginning was to prevent the Phantom Organization from assassinating members of the Chu Kingdom family. After all, over thousands of years, countless members of the Chu Kingdom family, from the king to his relatives, had died at the hands of the Phantom Organization. Out of a desire for self-defense, King Chu Heng spent a great deal of effort to establish such a Dark Guard. The members of the Dark Guards were instilled from a young age with the ultimate mission of protecting members of the royal family; in layman's terms, they were so-called death warriors.

"However, it's somewhat unexpected that this river of blood possesses the magical abilities of the Luo River," a cultivator remarked, looking at the blood river in the projection.

"It shouldn't be as exaggerated as Luo River's. After all, this is Book Instance, so there must be a way to get through it," another cultivator Analytic.

Since the Mysterious Bookstore opened, it has published several Yellow Quality books. In all the worlds in these books, if there are anything like a dungeon or quest, there is a way to complete it; if you can't complete it, then the dungeon or quest is meaningless.

"That makes sense." The surrounding cultivators nodded in agreement.

'Brush'

At this moment, the black-clad figure standing on the bank of the Blood River in the projection suddenly moved, leaping dozens of meters high like Golden-Winged Great Peng spreading its wings, attempting to fly over from the air.

The white threads stretched continuously as the man in black rose, until they reached a critical point. Only then did the man in black stop his ascent, floating in mid-air thanks to his powerful Spirit Venerable strength.

Suddenly, the man in black leaned forward, his head down and feet up, at a 45-degree angle, arms outstretched, and charged directly towards the other side of the Blood River!
