These NPCs seemed to not quite understand the situation.

If it weren’t for their settings, I would probably blurt out: Where are those servants of God?

The coalition forces, a massive mass, began to pace back and forth. The entire battlefield now seemed a little quiet. Apart from the sounds and movements made by the coalition forces themselves, there was nothing else.

Lin Chen took a deep breath, opened his backpack, and took a sip of the [Intermediate Magic Potion].

The blue bar above his head was recovering rapidly. After all, he had released [Wail of the Earth] so many times in a short period of time, which naturally made him feel a little exhausted.

Qiluo Dunshan and other undead followers began to gather, and finally stood behind Lin Chen.

"Monarch..." Huang Dachui touched his head: "Have we cleared the dungeon yet?"

As they spoke, they stared straight ahead.

That was the center of the area where Lin Chen had just released [The Wail of the Earth]. The cracked earth was emitting gurgling steam, but behind the area, there was a special tent that was completely black.

"Are there still monsters that haven't been killed?" Shield Mountain also vigilantly gripped the iron sword in his hand.

Lin Chen's brows gradually furrowed under the mask. This was another unexpected change.

[Battlefield of Death] Although this dungeon is a nightmare for players who have just reached level 40, Lin Chen has never heard that there will be a tent at the end of this dungeon.

I still remember that when the last monster died, the copy would emit a prompt sound, indicating that the player had successfully passed the copy. Immediately afterwards, a treasure chest would fall from the sky, and then a floating portal would appear.

This is the normal process.

But why was there a black tent? It looked so out of place, and judging by its design... it looked like someone had come here for tourism.

What will be inside?

The loot from clearing a dungeon?

Or is it something else hidden?

At this moment, Lin Chen's mana bar and health bar had been fully restored, and he called out softly.

"Qiluo."

The short-haired female elf beside him understood and immediately drew her bow and arrow. Then an arrow whizzed out and flew towards the tent!

There is no need to test it or go over to find out what's going on. Since it appears in the dungeon, just treat it as an "enemy unit"!

The undead present locked their sights on the arrow until it was about to hit the tent...

"Duo!"

A hand reached out from inside the tent and accurately caught the transparent arrow shot by Qiluo.

Then it seemed to exert a little force, and the arrow turned into starlight and disappeared.

"What?!" The undead's eyes widened suddenly.

Huang Dachui even subconsciously wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Brother Roaring behind him.

Lin Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at the pale arm in front of him that was holding the arrow.

The arm slowly retracted and finally disappeared into the tent.

"Your Majesty..." Qiluo whispered, "Could this be a trick?"

Lin Chen shook his head.

"This is a dungeon, and we've killed all the monsters, but there's still no sign of it closing. This means this tent should also be part of the dungeon..." Lin Chen gestured behind him, "Let's go and take a look."

"Yes."

Several undead followers followed closely behind Lin Chen, and surrounded by endless coalition forces, they slowly moved towards the tent.

However, when they were less than ten meters away from the tent, Lin Chen suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Wait a minute..." Lin Chen hadn't finished speaking, with the last word still on his lips, when a gust of "wind" blew over from the front.

"Buzzing..."

The mask on Lin Chen's face fell directly to the ground under the hot wind.

When the mask touched the ground, it bounced upwards due to the force, but stopped five centimeters from the ground.

It seemed to be floating in mid-air.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed, as if a piece of transparent sandpaper covered the entire world in an instant. Everything in sight became very strange, as if it was deprived of color.

Everything was a grayish dark purple.

Lin Chen stopped, subconsciously stretched out his hands and took a look, then turned around and looked behind him.

"It's getting more and more interesting."

After seeing everything behind him, Lin Chen laughed out loud unconsciously.

Yes, time...

Suspended.

Qiluo Dunshan and Huang Dachui maintained a funny walking posture, and the countless coalition forces behind them were in different shapes, but without exception, no one could move normally.

Just like when the world boss Anna came.

The person in the tent... crushed the [Hourglass of Time] here?

When Lin Chen raised his head and looked forward again, he suddenly saw the pale hand sticking out from the gap in the tent curtain again.

It was waving at Lin Chen.

"Players of the second round..." a hoarse and unpleasant voice came from behind the curtain: "Come inside... Come to me."

Listening to this chilling voice, Lin Chen felt a chill on his back.

But after hesitating for less than two seconds, Lin Chen strode forward and walked to the front of the tent.

"Come in... come in..."

The closer he got, the more clearly Lin Chen could hear.

The voice should have come from an old woman who was nearly 70 years old. She had loose teeth and her speech was very awkward.

The rusty iron sword fell into his hand, and Lin Chen stretched out his left hand to lift the door curtain.

The light inside the tent was dim, and the air was filled with a damp and musty smell. Lin Chen took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and tried to stop thinking about these irrational things. Although his heart was filled with doubts, he did not stop.

The door curtain was lifted and Lin Chen walked in.

The space inside the tent was not large, filled with some old furniture and some unknown decorations. In the shadow of the deepest corner, an old hand stretched out and waved at him.

Lin Chen gripped the iron sword tightly in his hand and approached the hand cautiously.

As he got closer, he finally saw it clearly.

I saw a hunched old woman sitting on a tattered chair. She was wearing a black robe, her face was full of wrinkles, and her eyes were flashing with a strange light.

"Hello... second-round player..." The old woman withdrew her hand, and her hoarse voice sounded again, with an indescribable expectation and excitement in her tone.

"Who are you?" Lin Chen tried his best to keep his voice calm. He didn't want to reveal too much emotion in this unknown environment.

"I?"

The old woman suddenly grinned.

Just as Lin Chen expected, this person had few teeth in his mouth, and the remaining teeth were black and rotten, looking extremely disgusting.

"I am the NPC waiting for you here specially!" The old woman didn't speak fluently, but Lin Chen could understand her.

But Lin Chen was really interested.

It was the first time that he heard an NPC call himself an NPC.

"Then what type of NPC are you?" Lin Chen asked, "Why didn't I see you last time, in the first round?"

"Well, strictly speaking, I'm an NPC that only appears in the second round. I can appear in any dungeon, maybe the Spider Cave at the beginning, or the level 20 Star Invoker dungeon."

"So... your appearance is random?"

"Not really. It depends on my mood."

"So you're here now because you're in a good mood?"

"Hmm... that's not bad, after all." The old woman chuckled. "After all, I've met you. You seem to be more special than any other second-round player..."

"Oh?" Lin Chen frowned slightly: "What's so special about me?"

The next moment, the old woman suddenly stood up and almost instantly stood in front of Lin Chen.

Her wrinkled face was filled with joy.

"This one! This one is the most special!"

The old man pointed at the iron sword in Lin Chen's hand and said in a high-pitched voice: "Isn't it... special?!"
