With a starting talent that's practically top-tier, even an old man can go against the heavens!

Fengshi Village is built against the mountain, which is called Fengshi Mountain.

The name Fengshi Village comes from this.

During his investigation, a legend about Fengshi Mountain left a deep impression on him.

Legend has it that several hundred years ago, the village was located on a battlefield.

The forces of light and darkness once fought an earth-shattering battle here, which lasted for three days and three nights without stopping.

In the end, the Light faction emerged victorious, suppressing the captured Dark faction members here, where they are punished with loneliness and torment.

Fengshi Mountain is a sealing stone set up by the Light faction to suppress and torture those in the Dark faction.

However, as time went by, people gradually forgot about it.

Until a few decades ago, the village's pioneers came here and established Fengshi Village.

The person who told Chen Beixuan the story was an elderly man who recounted that when he was a child, he went to play in the mountains and encountered a madman covered in rags.

He learned about the legend only through the madman's account.

However, whether the story is true or false is impossible to verify.

If Chen Beixuan hadn't asked, the old man would have already taken the story underground.

At this moment, Chen Beixuan, who had some suspicions, was leading Dean to search all over the mountains and fields.

It might be a cave, or it might be an entrance.

The clues must have some significance, and he tends to believe the legends.

As the various clues come together, the truth gradually becomes clear.

Those in the dark faction may be impersonating high-ranking officials, or high-ranking officials may have betrayed the light faction.

They want to find a way to rescue the dark faction members who are sealed at the foot of the mountain!

The key lies in the Spirit Stone and the child!

"found it!"

at this time.

Dean's exclamation brought him back to his senses.

When we arrived at Dean's location, it was in a secluded depression halfway up the mountain.

The cave entrance is covered by dense vegetation and is difficult to spot unless you get close.

Through layers of vegetation, one can vaguely see that it is a cave inside.

Seeing this, Chen Beixuan decided to go and investigate alone.

"You stay outside and wait for me, I'll go in and take a look."

"No, I want to go with you! I want to save Kaiya!" Dean refused without hesitation.

Chen Beixuan raised an eyebrow and said coldly, "If you insist on coming with me, then I'll leave now. Whether you save me or not is your choice!"

"This..." Dean's face fell, and after understanding, he pleaded, "Please, you must rescue Kaia, I'll stay..."

Seeing this, Chen Beixuan's expression softened slightly, and he nodded, saying, "I will."

After saying that, he pushed aside the weeds and branches, bent down, and crawled into the cave.

The moment I entered the cave, I received a dungeon notification.

[Ding! You have entered the level 20 hidden dungeon [Sealed Stone Village]. Clearing the dungeon will trigger a server-wide announcement and grant you abundant rewards!]

To solo a level 20 dungeon at level 10 truly requires exceptional skill and daring.

Looking around, the cave environment is similar to, yet different from, the level 10 dungeon, Death Cave.

There was no unpleasant smell, the air was dry, and the temperature was high.

There were no glow-in-the-dark stones on the walls; it was pitch black inside.

"Protective Flame"

Chen Beixuan let out a low shout and unleashed his skill.

They used the flames on their bodies to illuminate their surroundings as a light source.

He steadied himself and stepped inside...

Outside the cave.

Not long after Chen Beixuan entered.

A ragged figure suddenly appeared behind Dean...

......

[Ding! All the equipment you listed has been sold, for a total of 21 gold, 6 silver, and 7 copper!]

The sudden notification startled Chen Beixuan, who cursed and closed it.

The firelight illuminated a limited distance in the narrow passage, making him inevitably tense.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter any monsters in the passage and arrived at the end of the passage without any major incidents.

At the end was a white light curtain, exceptionally bright, but not dazzling; instead, it gave people a gentle feeling.

Chen Beixuan tentatively reached out his hand and found that it passed through very easily.

It must be some kind of barrier or enchantment that only works against those of the dark faction.

A little while later.

After confirming that no strange prompts appeared, I stepped inside.

After seeing what was inside, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"this..."

Chen Beixuan was secretly shocked.

The interior of the mountain is vast, and the light source comes from a sliver of sunlight falling from the top, making it somewhat dim.

In the very center of the space, a familiar-looking village sits.

It's exactly the same as Fengshi Village outside!

The same figures moving about, the same building layout, even the location of the pile of dog poop at the entrance is exactly the same!

You should know that he saw the dog poop come out with his own eyes.

How could it possibly be here!

This bizarre scene sent chills down his spine.

"This is fucking creepy..."

Chen Beixuan's face darkened, and he quickly tried to comfort himself.

This is just a game, not real.

Be rational and stay calm.

With the red star flag behind us, demons and monsters, retreat quickly!

At this moment,

His mind was filled with a series of red memories, such as Marxism, the working class, and speeches by great leaders.

After this flurry of thoughts, the eerie atmosphere did indeed dissipate considerably...

"Hmm, much better..."

Chen Beixuan gripped his staff tightly and walked towards the village.

As he drew closer, the scene inside became clearer.

The shadows that were moving around were not people at all, but humanoid monsters that were completely black!

He sent out a reconnaissance mission and acquired monster attributes.

------

Shadow Beast: Level 16

Blood volume: 4000

Attack: 260

Defense: 70

Magic resistance: 50

Skills: Claw Strike, Infusion of Malevolent Energy, Shadow Imitation.

------

A level 16 monster, meeting the requirement of being 5 levels higher than the target.

If you can clear the dungeon, you can fulfill both job change requirements in one go!

"Having a health bar makes things much easier..."

Chen Beixuan sneered, raised his staff, and began to cast a spell!

"Thunder and lightning!"

Boom boom boom——

True damage -2033, -1017, -2033, ...

Lucky Combo +1!

True damage -2033, -1017, ...

Several white damage numbers floated above the monster's head, instantly emptying its health bar!

[Ding! You have defeated a Shadow Beast (lv16) that is much stronger than you, and have obtained...]

[Ding! You have killed someone of a higher level...]

......

With the 20% attack bonus from the solo attack, his attack reached a terrifying 391 points!

Each Shadow Beast suffered a staggering 6000 points of true damage!

It was instantly melted by the lightning spell!

The deaths of the three Shadow Beasts were like igniting a powder keg.

The seven or eight animals that were relatively close were drawn to his hatred and quickly surrounded him!

Now, Lightning Bolt has a cooldown of only 4 seconds, making it easier to cast spells more frequently and quickly!

Before the monsters could get close, Chen Beixuan unleashed his skill again, killing three more, and then let out a low shout.

"Protective Flame!"

Flames and azure magic circles appeared simultaneously, protecting him.

Five Shadow Beasts closed in and attacked with their claws!

-10, -10, -10, ...

The monster attacks very frequently, swinging its claws twice every three seconds.

A dense bar of -10 damage numbers floated above his head, and his health rapidly decreased!

At the same time, Chen Beixuan suddenly received a notification!

[Ding! You are being attacked by evil energy. Your health will decrease by 1 point per second for 10 seconds. This effect can be stacked!]

[Ding! You are being attacked by evil energy. Your health is decreasing by 2 points per second...]

[Ding! The baleful aura ignores defense. Please eliminate the monster as soon as possible and wait for the status effect to disappear!]
