Even a level 10 monster couldn't withstand Zhang Yuan's sword strike. Before they knew it, Zhang Yuan had already reached the depths of the forest.

A golden light burst out from Zhang Yuan's body, leveling him up to level 5, with his four main stats and critical hit/critical damage attributes increasing.

However, Zhang Yuan was somewhat dissatisfied with his leveling speed.

Although monster levels increase and experience gains increase as you delve deeper into dungeons, monster density decreases.

Zhang Yuan now only gains 0.1% experience for killing a tiger. He needs to kill 1000 tigers to level up, but tigers are extremely rare; he can only find a maximum of five per minute.

Including other monsters, it will take him another two hours to reach level 6.

"I've been in the dungeon for 3 hours and I'm only level 5. Although other people are at most level 3, I can't compare to them."

Zhang Yuan did a quick mental calculation and realized that at the current rate, it would be difficult for him to reach level 12 in a day.

Finding the monster takes much longer than killing it.

Zhang Yuan continued his journey deeper into the forest without stopping, until he arrived at a cave.

"The boss of this hidden dungeon should be inside this cave. The monsters inside should all be level 12, and there might be some elite monsters as well."

Zhang Yuan pondered for a moment, then resolutely walked in.

Although he is only level 5, his sword damage is already 2000, and ten flying swords would be 20000. With an attack frequency of once per second, plus the splash damage from his constellation, he can kill all the bosses and elite monsters in the room.

Meanwhile, outside the instance.

Xia Chaoyang glanced at the time and said to Ning Qin, "Principal Ning, I'm sorry, half an hour has passed, and we must close the instance now."

Ning Qin pleaded, "Captain Xia, can't you give us a little more time? That child is a promising student for Kyoto University; we can't afford to lose him!"

Xia Chaoyang: "We understand your concerns, but don't worry, once we eliminate the potential risks, we will reopen the instance, and then the students will be able to log out."

Ning Qin hesitated: "But..."

Xia Chaoyang's expression darkened: "Principal Ning, closing the instance now will at most trap the student inside. But once the instance becomes abyssal and the monsters escape, not only will the student inside die, but the lives of the people of Xihu City will also be threatened. Can you bear that responsibility?"

Ning Qin's expression changed slightly, then he sighed: "I understand, let's close the instance."

Li Xue'er became anxious: "Principal, are you really just going to abandon this idiot?"

Ning Qin: "The fact that the child hasn't come out yet means that his profession should have a means of self-sufficiency, and he won't be coming out anytime soon. The best option to help him is to have the military shut down the instance, investigate potential risks, and prevent the instance from becoming like the abyss."

"team leader!!!"

Just then, a soldier jogged over, shouting, "Something's happened!"

Xia Chaoyang asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

"The instruments detected an abyssal aura within the dungeon; the dungeon boss has been corrupted by the abyss!"

"Then why don't you shut down the instance right away?"

"Captain, we can't shut it off..."

"Can't shut it down?" Xia Chaoyang's eyes changed slightly. "The boss has only been corrupted, and the dungeon hasn't completely turned into the abyss yet. How can it not be shut down?"

"Someone has already entered the corrupted boss's territory, and the dungeon has entered the Abyss raid mode."

"Impossible!" Xia Chaoyang shouted. "There's only one student in the dungeon right now, at most level 3. How could he possibly enter the boss's territory?"

The soldier wiped his sweat and said, "But the instrument is correct. The Abyss Conquest Mode has been activated."

Xia Chaoyang's face immediately turned extremely gloomy. He turned to look at Ning Qin and asked, "Principal Ning, what exactly is wrong with your student?"

Ning Qin was also a little confused: "I don't know!"

"you do not know!"

Xia Chaoyang's face was ashen, but he had no time to pursue Ning Qin at the moment. He turned to the soldiers and ordered, "Immediately evacuate the surrounding teachers and students, and dispatch the city defense troops. We must not allow the Abyss Corruption boss to enter the city!"

The soldier stood at attention and saluted: "Yes, sir!"

Watching Xia Chaoyang and the soldiers leave in a hurry, Li Xue'er quickly asked Ning Qin, "Principal, what is the Abyss Strategy Mode?"

At this moment, Ning Qin looked gloomy and replied, "When the power of the abyss erodes the dungeon, the dungeon boss will be corrupted by the abyss and become the only boss in the dungeon, with all attributes increasing by at least tenfold."

"If the corrupted boss is not defeated within a certain period of time, it will leave the dungeon with the dungeon monsters and invade the real world. Therefore, we need to send elite professionals into the Abyss dungeon to defeat the boss before the corrupted boss invades the real world. This is called the Abyss Strategist Mode."

"Once the Abyss Conquest Mode is activated, the dungeon will no longer be open to the public. Conquest players and the Abyss Corruption boss must fight to the death. Conquest players who successfully defeat the Abyss boss will receive generous rewards, but if a contestant is killed, the Abyss Corruption boss will be strengthened again and immediately invade reality."

Li Xue'er's expression changed slightly: "Abyss Conquest Mode... Doesn't that mean that idiot will have to fight the corrupted boss?"

Ning Qin sighed heavily and patted Li Xue'er on the shoulder: "Although I really don't want to say this, this is the first lesson the Abyss has taught you. We may lose our companions at any time, so be prepared."

"No...I won't accept it!"

Li Xue'er panicked and immediately ran to the side to call Butler Xu.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan was unaware that he was already in deep danger in the dungeon, and was immersed in the joy of quickly leveling up.

"As expected of the boss's territory, the experience points are increasing rapidly!"

Zhang Yuan was grinning from ear to ear. He had been terrified by the monsters inside the cave as soon as he entered.

Although the monsters here have a lot more health, it's just a matter of changing from one flying sword to two, which doesn't affect Zhang Yuan's leveling speed at all.

Within minutes, golden light burst forth from Zhang Yuan's body, instantly elevating him to level 6.

"If I had known the experience points here were this high, why would I have bothered farming Berserker Rabbits outside? Rabbits are so cute, they should be used for braising, not for leveling up."

Zhang Yuan stared at the throng of heads in front of him, his eyes gleaming with golden light—those were all piles of valuable experience points!

He could see over a hundred corrupted goblins just by looking at them!

In this narrow cave, the monster density is high and the number of monsters is large, and there is no need to search for monsters. This is a leveling paradise specially customized for him!

Seeing his experience bar rapidly increasing, Zhang Yuan even found those goblins with their brains practically exposed somewhat adorable.
