Online game: As a dad, it’s reasonable to hit 999 with one hit, right?

"There's someone ahead, should we go over?"

Everyone was delighted to see Lin Chen on the scorched earth ahead. However, when someone was about to move forward, they were stopped by their teammates.

"Wait, let's wait and see..."

As they spoke, the players all turned their attention to the four swordsmen standing right in front of the crowd.

After all, they had just witnessed the swordsman's skills. Few people present had his abilities. If the swordsman took the lead, they would naturally follow.

The swordsman looked ahead, and when he saw Elena beside Lin Chen, his frown relaxed.

Since Elena, who is number one on the battle strength list, is also ahead of him, he has much more to rely on.

After careful consideration, he took the lead and took a few steps forward.

When the other players saw the swordsman taking the lead, they followed him.

As they stepped into this desolate scorched earth one after another, the air around them was so heavy that they could not breathe normally. A cold wind rose quietly, and some special energy kept shuttling through the ruins, making their scalps feel tingling.

It was at this moment that the second-round players in the crowd finally sensed something was wrong.

But they couldn't stop and retreat anymore, as the players behind them kept coming towards them, leaving them no room to leave.

The reason they backed off was that they sensed the aura of this desolate land... It was exactly the same as the real world!

No, you can even say that this is the real world!

Their senses were infinitely magnified, and their skin could clearly feel everything here. There was a disgusting wind blowing, and they even shivered.

But why?

Why did they arrive in a place similar to the real world without even using the [Guixu Scroll]? What kind of crazy setting did this dungeon have?

"Damn it, let's just make the best of it..." A second-round player swallowed hard, gritting his teeth and saying, "I can only bite the bullet and move forward."

People seemed very nervous. No one knew what would happen next, so they could only force themselves to move forward.

At least walk to Elena's side first.

Suddenly, Lin Chen, who was at the front, stretched out his hand to the crowd and made a "stop" gesture.

The next moment, Elena also reacted quickly. She raised her longbow and tapped the ground with the arrow. A clear voice pierced the silence: "Stop!"

Upon hearing the order, everyone stopped in their tracks. The surroundings fell into dead silence, with only invisible fear spreading in their hearts.

"What...what's going on?"

Someone lowered his voice and looked around from time to time.

"I do not know……"

At this moment, a dark outline slowly emerged from the pitch-black shadows in front. Its figure was like an evil ghost crawling out of the underworld. It approached step by step, and then appeared completely in the sight of the crowd.

It was a figure clad in a tattered battle robe, a mottled, rusted helmet tilted askew on its head, like an undead warrior transported from an ancient battlefield. Yet, its hands, transformed into sharp tentacles, gave it an eerie, unpredictable air. The tentacles drooped, lightly touching the ground, leaving long, thin scratches.

On top of the monster's head, there was a single word written:

【Ruins】.

The players were stunned. Most of them didn't even know what "Xu" was. They only knew that from this moment on, they finally saw the monster appear!

The swordsman at the front of the crowd held a cold and sharp sword in his hand. He moved his neck and found that the soreness was disappearing. Then he moved step by step towards Lin Chen and Elena.

Until he walked to Elena's side alone, the female elf looked at him in surprise, but the swordsman ignored Elena, but passed her by and continued forward. He looked coldly at the monster in front of him, and then left Elena with a lonely and arrogant back.

"Damn, Mr. Kidney Deficiency is so handsome!"

The group of players behind him were immediately amazed.

"Isn't this guy called The Undertaker? Why do you all call him Mr. Kidney Deficiency?"

At this time, the Undertaker had come to Lin Chen's side. Facing the approaching monster in front, he was not afraid. Instead, a hint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

"Hey, kid." The undertaker glanced at Lin Chen beside him and asked, "Are you and Elena teammates?"

Lin Chen was stunned. He obviously didn't expect that a young man would run up to him.

"Yes." Lin Chen nodded.

"Can I assume that you deliberately ran this far forward to impress Elena?"

"Oh?" Lin Chen became interested: "How do you say that?"

"I don't think you need to do this. Elena is the undisputed number one on the battle strength list. Unless your battle strength is even higher than Elena's after you take off your mask, your actions will seem very childish. After all, dying in front of Elena would be extremely embarrassing. So, don't try to show off."

"That makes sense...what about you?"

"I?"

"Yes, what are you doing all this way here?"

"You can't compare to me." The Undertaker held his sword and pointed at his head. "Look at my head. Like Elena, I have the protection of the Holy Light, so I have the capital to show off my strength."

Lin Chen glanced at the holy light above the swordsman's head. It seemed that he, like Elena, had also killed a [? Level Ruins]. Seeing the man's arrogant expression, Lin Chen shook his head helplessly and did not continue to talk to him. He just silently looked at the shadow in front of him filled with black mist.

Seeing that Lin Chen didn't say anything, the undertaker shrugged, and then he actually started moving forward again.

As he walked, he lowered the katana from his shoulder and used the level 45 skill [Heart Flow Sword Force: Extreme Sword Technique].

The posture is set and the murderous intent spreads!

[Xu] in front sensed this provocative aura, and his body shook. His originally staggering steps instantly turned into a mad sprint. His speed was so fast, like a wild horse running out of control, or like an arrow shot from a bow, heading straight for the undertaker. The air was filled with a strong smell of death.

The undertaker seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He raised his knife and chopped towards Xu.

"Click"

The sound of metal colliding with bones was heard. The undertaker's swordsmanship was precise and swift. With one blow, not only the tentacles were broken, but also the broken armor was not spared and was cut in half.

Then, the sword lights appeared like a weave. With the blessing of [Extreme Swordsmanship], every swing of the undertaker was accompanied by splashes of black blood, dyeing the ground black.

Xu's head rolled over due to inertia, and finally fell powerlessly on the scorched earth... The undertaker casually shook off the blood on the blade, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"It's garbage."

But before he could celebrate, Feng Chen, who was not far from Elena, suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

"Dude, be careful!"

The Undertaker reacted very quickly. He responded almost at the same time as Feng Chen's voice sounded. With a low sound of his sword, he made a gorgeous backward swing and accurately stabbed the black shadow behind him.

With a "crash", another creature fell under the undertaker's knife. It was still holding the sharp thorn tightly in its hand, but because it failed to swing it out in time, it gradually turned into black liquid.

The swordsman became more and more excited as he fought. Although he felt that this area was no different from the real world, it was thanks to this feeling that he, a second-round player who had experienced Guixu several times, felt like a fish in water.

After all, he had experience fighting against the Xu in the real world, so he could handle it with ease.

In the group of players in the distance, several other second-round players looked at each other, then gained some confidence and walked forward with their weapons.

……

With each swing of the undertaker's knife, the rustling sounds around him became more and more intense, as if countless pairs of eyes were peering in the darkness and countless footsteps were wandering among the ruins.

The Xu gradually walked out from the shadows, and the encirclement was quietly formed. Looking closely, two high-level Xu that looked like spiders emerged from the shadows!

The undertaker's bones suddenly crackled, and his cold eyes flashed.

"Damn it, I'm wasting my time trying to look cool in front of Elena..."

At this moment, the Undertaker's body seemed to be infused with invisible power, and his bones emitted bursts of low and powerful echoes, which was a sign that he seemed to have released some kind of skill.

The sword seemed to come alive in his hands, and the undertaker's entire body twisted at this moment. He suddenly opened his eyes, and thousands of lightning bolts seemed to burst out of his pupils!

Swordsman's level 50 awakening skill.

【Thunderbolt Flash】!

The two high-level warriors rushed over at the same time, and at the same time, the undertaker's body disappeared.

"boom!"

A huge thunder sounded, and the Undertaker reappeared half a second later, but he was ten meters away, with his back to the Spider.

He half-knelt on the ground and then made the gesture of drawing his sword into its sheath.

The black blood dripping from the blade slowly dripped down, and once it touched the ground, it caused a strange reaction, just like the hissing sound of molten iron entering water.

"Clap."

The long sword is sheathed,

The two spider-like bodies of Xu behind him were melting at an alarming speed. They seemed to have been struck by countless thunderbolts in a short period of time. Their bodies were festering and burning like crazy, and finally their flesh and blood turned into black mist and sticky black water rising into the sky. The skeletal organs gradually disintegrated in the process. In the end, these two high-level Xu were left with only a pool of black liquid emitting an ominous smell.
