Traveling through the game world

Although Lianyang has visited the Ruins of Huttonmar many times, each visit has left a deep impression. What seemed like an insignificant nightmare in the game, when it actually descended upon a real world, brought such immense disaster.

Lian Yang, who initially approached things with an adventurous and playful mindset, gradually transformed under the influence of his teammates and friends like Paris Albert, into someone who genuinely wanted to solve the terrifying black nightmare for the continent of Arad.

The four casually killed the monsters around them, ignoring the system's experience prompts, and simply picked up the dropped equipment and materials. They clearly felt that the monsters around them were increasing in number and strength. Of course, because of their formidable strength and impressive equipment, they didn't experience any immediate pressure.

With a single, blood-red blade, he easily cleared the area of ​​monsters before him. Baron, bored, asked Lian Yang, "Lian Yang, we started our adventures together, but why do I feel like you sometimes know everything? Even Agamemnon, as one of the continent's top sword saints, shouldn't know so much."

Lian Yang's existence remained infinitely mysterious to Baron and the others. Even after joining Lian Yang's faction system and knowing they could travel between different worlds, they still felt that Lian Yang was often unfathomable. Of course, Baron was just finding the current battle incredibly boring and looking for an excuse to chat.

Lian Yang's fighting style was diverse, employing techniques like the Draw Sword Slash, Bloodthirsty Demon-Sealing Slash, and Triple Slash, bombarding the enemy with various skills in turn. He effortlessly and elegantly cleared away the horde of frenzied monsters before him, and then said calmly, "One day, when I take you to my world, you'll understand why. Don't be surprised then."

Lian Yang never cared that Baron and the others knew he came from a game world, but even if he told Baron now, he wouldn't believe him. Letting Baron and the others play a round of DNF themselves back in Earth's dimension would be more effective than any explanation.

As the battle intensified, the monsters around them became increasingly dense. And they were all sorts of creatures: mushroom-man commanders, Namlun fighters, giant scorpions, poisonous scorpions, and mutated plants were just the tip of the iceberg.

Even elite mini-bosses like the Super Mushroom Man, Giant Fire Ant, Mad Ant, Scorpion Captain, and Plague Rat are starting to proliferate.

Despite the ferocity and multitude of monsters, Alice's various heavy weapons, enhanced by powerful equipment, displayed a power that was utterly outrageous to the three men in the team. While Lian Yang and the others could only clear out the monsters piecemeal as they advanced...

Alice raised her hand and unleashed a laser cannon, instantly obliterating a line of monsters. A few more grenade launchers vaporized a large swath of monsters. Even more terrifying, almost all of Alice's skills were area-of-effect attacks.

Although this was Lian Yang's second time wandering in the sea of ​​monsters, he still felt a great sense of powerlessness. Even though the monsters in front of him could easily take down a large number of them at once, the endless sea of ​​monsters still made him feel like a drop in the ocean.

However, the denser the monsters became, the more confident Lian Yang and his companions felt, because it meant they were getting closer to the most powerful boss at the very center. Whether it was the resurrected black giant scorpion Moss or not, it was definitely the culprit controlling this monster rampage.

Sure enough, after walking a short distance further, a huge figure appeared before Lian Yang and the others.

This is a giant scorpion, well, or you could describe it as enormous. The black giant scorpion Moss was already huge enough, but it was nothing compared to the giant scorpion that appeared before Lian Yang and the others.

The giant scorpion that appeared before Lian Yang was the size of a commercial airliner, with golden-red stripes appearing on its shiny black carapace, giving it an indescribably eerie appearance.

However, Lian Yang and the others could clearly sense that the giant scorpion before them was extremely weak, despite its immense strength. Lying prone on the ground, it was obvious that it was still in a weakened state.

It wasn't just Lian Yang and his group who discovered the giant scorpion; the giant scorpion clearly also discovered them. Although the four of them appeared incredibly small amidst the dense sea of ​​monsters, their completely different race still gave them a sense of incongruity, making them stand out from the crowd.

The giant scorpion slowly stood up, roaring, "Damn human, it's you again! This time I will definitely kill you!"

"As expected!" Lian Yang thought to himself. Despite the drastic change in appearance, the giant scorpion in front of him was indeed the black giant scorpion Moss.

Lian Yang casually slashed at the monster, loudly and disdainfully saying, "Moss, I can kill you once, and I can kill you a second time, even if you look like this." In battle, one should never lose face, especially since the outcome between Lian Yang and his companions and the black giant scorpion Moss was still uncertain.

Hearing Lian Yang's words, the black giant scorpion Moss became even more enraged. Waving its pincers, which were even more ferocious and enormous than before, it roared, "Humble human! The resurrected me has been called the Blood Queen by the monsters here! And I have renamed myself Dio! Today, I will take your head as the best gift for my domination of Arad!"

It has to be said that the Blood Queen Dio's hatred for Lian Yang at this moment was simply beyond measure. If it weren't for her inexplicable resurrection, she would have been forever slumbering in darkness. Thinking of this, her heart was filled with boundless resentment towards Lian Yang.

As for Arthur beside Lian Yang, she certainly saw him too, but compared to Lian Yang, Arthur was just an insignificant nobody in her eyes. As long as Lian Yang, the leader, was eliminated, none of the other three would survive.

"Pfft!" Lian Yang laughed for real this time. He knew very well that the Blood Queen Dio was resurrected because of the Black Nightmare, or rather, the monster was now deeply affected by the Black Nightmare.

And it seems that every monster affected by the Black Nightmare has a feeling that it can conquer the continent of Arad. Even the Stone Sam of the Arnofa Forest, who is just a stone, thinks about ruling the continent of Arad.

The Blood Queen Dio, who had just been resurrected and was still extremely weak, actually had such thoughts. They were so ignorant that they didn't know that their strength was actually insignificant in the Arad Continent.

As they talked, they arrived very close to the Blood Queen Dio.

"Slow Healing, Guardian Badge, Blessing of Honor!" Arthur decisively raised his hand, and the three most basic buffs were applied.

Everyone knows that only killing the monster in front of them can truly solve the problem. Verbal attacks are just for boosting morale.

Feeling the immense power coursing through his body, Baron's eyes shone brightly as he exclaimed excitedly, "Arthur, I've discovered that your equipment upgrade is the most valuable one yet. Your current buff is worlds apart from before!"

The equipment chosen for Arthur was all purple gear that focused on increasing his stamina, which boosted his stamina by a full 50%. With the skill bonuses, the support effect on Lian Yang and the others naturally increased dramatically.

After applying the buff, Arthur took out the cross from his back and smiled faintly, "It's not just that the buff is stronger; my combat ability is also far superior to what it used to be."

While advancing, Lian Yang and his companions consumed potions and gained full buffs. Blood Queen Dio was not idle either. With a distant roar, she found herself surrounded by no less than 20 elite monsters.

It seems the Black Nightmare has completely changed the Blood Queen Dio. Previously, she didn't particularly like summoning minions to fight. But now, she's practically having the mini-bosses surround her in a circle.

Seeing this, Lian Yang laughed and said, "I thought you would change after being resurrected once, but it turns out you've become more timid. And you still call yourself a queen?"

"Roar! Damn humans, as long as I can kill you, that's all that matters! No one can stop me from conquering the world!" The Blood Queen Dio roared, unconcerned, "My people, tear them apart!"

At the command of the Blood Queen Dio, more than 20 mini-bosses charged forward madly. Their unstoppable frenzy was exactly the same as that of the crazed elves of the Arnofa Forest.

Having anticipated the monster's sudden attack, Lian Yang raised his hand and unleashed a silver-white arc of light. The sword flashed, and the monster in front of him was sliced ​​in two. Monsters further away were also sent flying by Lian Yang's sharp strike. It was actually Lian Yang's well-prepared draw slash.
