While the Contract Adventurer were marveling, Hei Ma Lou had already killed the monster mini-boss and was walking deeper into the forest. This time, he didn't even bother transforming.
It seemed to have startled a large number of monsters.
Every few steps, a large number of monsters would appear and attack.
Several stray arrows flew over.
The stick in Hei Ma Lou's hand was incredibly flexible; he twirled it into a blur, batting all the stray arrows away.
He gradually closed in on the Archer, finally swinging his stick.
"What a beautiful kill!"
"Speaking of which, in this Dungeon, even a small monster seems to deal quite a lot of damage. You could tell from the force when he Parried the arrows just now..."
"It seems the difficulty isn't small!"
"No worries, my eyes have understood, and my brain tells me it's no problem. Now I'm just waiting for the Dungeon to go online to show you all a wave of skill."
"Laughing my ass off, don't feed them when the time comes!"
As Hei Ma Lou fought his way deep into the forest, a heavy voice appeared.
Blade Wolf Instructor: Who goes there? How dare you disturb my peaceful cultivation!
Blade Wolf Instructor: Hmm, another monkey? Benefactor, why not put down your staff and learn some Buddhist teachings from me?
Speaking was a monster with a wolf's head and a human body, wielding a double-bladed sword burning with flames, exuding a powerful sense of oppression.
The two sides immediately clashed.
It was only then that the Adventurers realized that the previous fighting was just an appetizer; the battle between Hei Ma Lou and the Blade Wolf Instructor was the real showdown.
"This is too cool!"
"That double-bladed sword burning with flames really looks a bit handsome. It would be great if I could wield it."
The Adventurers watched this battle with rapt attention.
When the Blade Wolf Instructor brandished his flaming blade, it was like a fiery whirlwind, and waves of scorching heat seemed to rush forward.
"Brothers, this looks like a live demo of the Dungeon. It's truly amazing; it makes my blood boil."
"The feeling of countering every move is so satisfying. Did he finally kill this Blade Wolf Instructor?"
Blade Wolf Instructor: You... could you be the fated one the Great King spoke of?
The Blade Wolf Instructor was defeated.
But the double-bladed sword, still burning with flames, remained stuck nearby. Hei Ma Lou stepped forward, and the words "Obtained Magic Treasure - Crimson Tide" appeared before everyone.
This made everyone uncontrollably excited.
"Holy crap, holy crap, brothers, this sword seems to have some significance..."
"Could it be..."
The scene continued to advance.
Now the Adventurers knew that the protagonist here should be the 'fated one' mentioned by the Blade Wolf Instructor.
After killing the Blade Wolf Instructor, the fated one transformed into a golden cicada and flew again.
And at this moment...
A voice from underground sounded in his ears, "Little monkey, you've disturbed the spirits here. You must be extremely careful if you go any further..."
"Little monkey, this, this..."
Guided by the voice, the golden cicada arrived at a place without monsters.
Then.
A puff of white smoke rose from the ground, and a big-headed dwarf old man suddenly emerged.
He spoke towards the fated one, "This humble deity is the Earth God of Black Wind Mountain. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
"So this place is called Black Wind Mountain..."
"It does look quite black, with monsters everywhere. But what is the Earth God of Black Wind Mountain? Is it a divine position?"
The Earth God of Black Wind Mountain took two steps forward and couldn't help but sigh, "Similar, truly too similar!"
After speaking these two enigmatic sentences.
The Earth God of Black Wind Mountain turned and began to introduce this place—
Guanyin Zen Temple.
A great fire.
The story hidden behind Black Wind Mountain began to be slowly recounted by this Earth God, and the Adventurers listened attentively.
Fearing to miss even the slightest detail.
Later.
Under the Earth God's continuous guidance, the fated one encountered the monster leader of this place, a wolf demon named Ling Xuzi.
They became entangled in battle.
Facing that gigantic white wolf demon, the Adventurers felt immense pressure, a sense of intimidation emanating from its aura.
And just then...
The fated one wielded his staff, using various magic treasures and skills, impacting the Adventurers' vision.
Seventy-Two Transformations.
And thousands of clones.
Immobilization Spell.
All sorts of spells were used, dazzling the Adventurers.
"This battle is truly exhilarating!"
"Although this Dungeon doesn't have the hack-and-slash satisfaction of Dynasty Warriors, this extremely refined combat pleasure truly makes one's blood boil!"
"I'm starting to look forward to it..."
Soon.
Ling Xuzi fell.
Just as the fated one was about to finish him off.
Suddenly.
Another staff blocked his path, stopping him.
As the camera slowly moved upwards.
Only golden characters, one by one, lit up on that staff.
As!
You!
Wish!
Golden!
Staff!
Further up, the Adventurers only saw a monkey, looking very similar to the fated one, appearing before them.
But this monkey, whether it was his gaze or the aura around him, was incomparably sharp.
As his sharp gaze fell.
A flash of white light.
Then.
Countless scenes began to flash before the Adventurers.
The fated one climbed the side of a snowy mountain cliff, looking towards the building ahead that was emitting thunder and lightning.
The fated one walked through a land filled with yellow sand.
The fated one, in the dead of night, clutched his head, kneeling before a bonfire.
The fated one fought various monsters.
There were monsters like Lizardmen.
There were giant insects covered in thousands of legs.
There were terrifying beings standing before tall towers, summoning lightning.
And there were bird-men holding long spears, like angels.
Finally...
He stood atop a mountain peak, gazing into the distance.
In the distance.
Four immensely colossal giants were slowly walking towards him.
Even from a great distance.
The Adventurers could still feel the immense pressure emanating from these four colossal giants; their height was unknown, thousands of feet, and mountains beside them seemed like toys. The oppressive feeling they brought made it almost impossible to breathe.
"Holy crap, holy crap!"
"It's only now that I remember this is a mythology-themed Dungeon. Oh my god, I'm getting goosebumps..."
"I watched for a long time before, still not knowing where the mythology was, until these four behemoths appeared. This is true mythology, damn it..."
"Even a Creator God wouldn't look like this, right?"
"Me, fight these four guys! Are you kidding me?"
The appearance of the Four Heavenly Kings was like dropping a giant stone into a calm pond, instantly stirring up a ripple.
