The Target Is the Underground Great Tomb

Leon swaggered down the street with an air of nonchalance, seemingly oblivious to everyone around him.

His previous hairstyle was a side part like Leon Kennedy's, which made him look young and energetic, but now he has a slicked-back hairstyle with a tuft of blond hair sticking out and swaying in front of his forehead, making him look like an adult.

His walking posture and the range of his arm swings are both exceptionally energetic; just looking at him makes you imagine cheerful music playing in your mind.

It was obvious that when he reached the point of happiness, he even wanted to stop and dance for a while, but his sense of shame forced him to suppress the thought that it might cause him social death.

They indulged, but not completely. Actually, there's nothing wrong with dancing in the streets on the night of the celebration.

"."

Gong Qiying was speechless.

Where did that sunny and cheerful boy go? Just looking at Leon's current hairstyle, it wouldn't feel out of place even if he said "I want to stand in the sky" the next second.

Leon is now even more sunny and cheerful than before, but this cheerfulness is excessive. He's like Spider-Man possessed by Venom, turning into the Bully Maguire.

Then I thought of his character art in "The Ones in Harmony".

Gong Qiying seemed to understand everything.

"Huh?" Leon suddenly turned his head and looked in his direction.

However, they saw nothing and Gong Qiying slipped away.

"Strange, I think I just saw someone I know. Maybe I was mistaken?" He tilted his head and then walked towards the Resurrection Room.

The crowd suddenly moved backward, bumping into someone behind them who was about to fall. Leon instinctively helped the person up, earning a thank you in return.

How is he supposed to get into the Resurrection Room, which is completely surrounded by a huge crowd?

Fly? Teleport? Go through the back door?

No, he's going to walk through the crowd!

Leon suddenly exuded an aura that contained extraordinary confidence, the pressure of a powerful figure, and the shining spirit of chivalry—in short, a mixture of many elements.

A miraculous thing happened: regardless of whether they noticed Leon's presence, the people standing in front of him automatically parted to make way for just one person.

It wasn't until he reached the door that people noticed the crowd had unknowingly parted to make way for him.

Just as Moses parted the sea in ancient times, Leon paved the way in modern times!

This statement is surprisingly unconventional.

"It's Leon from the Strategy Team. We haven't seen him in a long time." Someone recognized him.

"Why does he look so strange?" Someone looked him up and down, frowning.

"Yes, yes, he looks really handsome!" someone exclaimed, swooning.

Delu noticed Leon, but the crowd was too dense for him to get through.

He was equally surprised by the other person's change, and at the same time, he wondered: Does Leon want to go in? But—

There was no "but" to it. Leon raised his leg and kicked the door open with a "bang".

"Oh! Oh! Oh!" the crowd exclaimed.

The people inside the Resurrection Room were startled. The Priest rushed out to check the situation, thinking that his rivals had come to cause trouble. But when he saw that it was Leon who had kicked the door, his face immediately fell and he shouted angrily, "Do you know where you are? How dare you kick down the door like that!"

Leon patted the Priest on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, I've come to check on the teacher."

"What?" The Priest's eyes widened, and he was about to say something, but suddenly he felt that Leon's hand on his shoulder was unusually heavy, making it hard for him to breathe.

"So, which room is Professor Jia Paer in?" Leon, still smiling.

"Yes, over there," the Priest quickly pointed in a direction.

"Very good, thank you," he said very politely, and walked toward the house where Jia Paer was.

Leon now dislikes wasting time with strangers, especially arguing over something that could be done easily.

He called the appropriate use of force as a deterrent highly effective.

If intimidation doesn't work, then he might just go up and beat them up.

He lifted the curtain, and everyone in the room looked in his direction, except for the Sword Saint Gapar, who was staring blankly at the hilt of his sword.

"Teacher, I've come to see you."

Leon walked over to Jia Paer, but the latter seemed not to hear him.

He asked the others with his eyes, but they were also confused. Jia Paer hadn't said a word yet; they didn't even know how the Sword Saint had died.

For even a Sword Saint to die, it must have been an encounter with a powerful and terrifying monster. The Zane Dungeon is indeed terrifying.

Leon looked at the hilt of the sword, where a tiny bit of the blade remained, covered in thick rust.

He roughly guessed what had happened, shrugged, and whispered in Jia Paer's ear, "Teacher, I've found a nice sword. If you don't realize it soon, I'm taking it."

Jia Paer's eyes gradually cleared, and he grabbed Leon's wrist, asking, "What sword? Let me see it!"

Leon placed a pair of Backhand Sword from his waist in front of him. The other party had never seen these weapons before, because Leon had them forged by a blacksmith after returning from training with Jia Paer, as a precaution against the Avatar of Soul Five.

"It's strangely shaped. I've seen similar weapons used a long time ago," Jia Paer. After looking at it for a while, he lost interest, put away the hilt of the sword, and finally got out of bed.

The Priest and nuns in the Resurrection Room looked at each other in disbelief. They hadn't expected that they could use this method to awaken the Sword Saint.

"The mourning period is over," Jia Paer said calmly. He glanced at Leon and said, "Good, very spirited, just like I was when I was young. It seems things went well at your home."

"It's all thanks to your teachings," Leon bowed slightly, always maintaining a humble attitude in front of his teacher. "Since you're here, teacher, you must be here for that thing. Why don't you come to my house to rest for a while, and I'll go with you tomorrow."

"Okay," Jia Paer did not refuse, and the two walked out one after the other.

The old Priest hesitated several times but couldn't find an opportunity to speak. He watched as the other person was about to leave without saying a word.

At this moment, Jia Paer turned to look at him and said, "Thank you for the treatment. The technique is excellent. My old bones feel much more comfortable now."

The old Priest was taken aback, then his face lit up with obvious delight. He grabbed the nun's shoulders and asked, "Did you record it? Did you record that last sentence?"

The nun looked at the Image Stone on the ground, however.

"Gone?"

Not long after, at Leon's house.

After hearing that Leon had returned, everyone in the Strategy Team rushed over, and the house, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly became lively.

"Boss, you came back without saying a word!" Malu retaliated by ruffling Leon's hair, but he just chuckled like a friendly older brother.

"I've booked a restaurant. We'll have a proper celebration tonight to mark the boss's return," Te Er, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth.

Delu looked at Leon thoughtfully. Leon was no different from before, but why was his behavior so different when he was outside?

He suddenly became a little worried about Leon, who, as the oldest member of the team, had always taken good care of his teammates.

"I'll talk to him another day, "Delu thought.

Jia Paer sipped his tea quietly; his mental state was stable, or at least appeared to be.

During a conversation with his companions, Leon learned about recent events and couldn't help but sigh:

"I was only gone for a month, but I feel like things have changed so much."

The structure of the Zane Dungeon has changed; the previous three levels (upper, middle, and lower) have all become a single-level structure.

He glanced at Jia Paer and pondered: How do I know if I've cleared the game?

Is it enough to clear one area, or do I have to clear all of them? Will the Tear Drop Larva reward reappear?

And have new stories emerged regarding Farron Keep and the Farron Undead Legion?

"I really want to go see it," Leon clenched his fist, full of enthusiasm. He has always been powerless against heroic legends, not to mention that the story of the Farron Undead Legion sounds like a group of tragic heroes, which makes it even more worthwhile to see.

The Strategy Team members understood; it seemed they could tackle the dungeon together again tomorrow, with their target being Farron Keep.

Malu suddenly remembered something and said:

"By the way, boss, I heard some information about the new area from another team, and it sounds really interesting."

During the period when the Strategy Team was absent, several self-proclaimed "Strategy Team" were formed among the adventurers. Some of these teams were just using empty names, while others were actually quite capable.

The intelligence they brought was about a former Underground Mine area now known as the "graveyard" because it is filled with numerous tombstones.

"The name of the ultimate leader there is..." Malu paused deliberately, trying to keep everyone in suspense, but everyone just smiled and looked at her without any impatience.

Feeling bored, she said, "It's called the Death Rite Bird."

"Is it very strong?" Te Er asked. The Death Rite Bird sounds powerful just from its name.

"They're very strong. Even if we all go together, we probably can't beat them," Malu automatically excluded Sword Saint Gapar from the list. "However, there is a way that can help us clear the game!"

"Speak quickly, speak quickly," Te Er urged.

"Hehe, finally you're getting anxious, aren't you?"

Malu shook her finger and said, "It's also intelligence from that squad. The Death Rite Bird can be weakened, as long as certain conditions are met."

"By defeating the Elite Monsters in the graveyard, we can weaken the Death Rite Bird and eventually make it so that we can defeat it as well."

"There are currently three types of Elite Monsters discovered: Death Knight, Calling Ship, and Demi-Human Sword Saint."

Upon hearing the term "Demi-Human Sword Saint, "Jia Paer raised his head.

"The cemetery area is very large, and it's full of undead monsters that are not easy to kill. But this is also our opportunity, isn't it? As long as we prepare more Holy Light items, the difficulty can be greatly reduced."

As if to attract Leon, Malu then said:

"It's said that the squad claimed to have tales of a hero named 'Wolf Knight' hidden in the underground region. Wolf Knight is the idol of the Farron Undead Legion, but the squad has only found fragments of information about him so far."

Before she could finish speaking, Leon clapped his hands and said:

"Great, we've decided to go there!"
