"Still not giving up?" Parius couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Xie Feina, who had not left.

He had people thoroughly investigate the situation of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall. Although the team was quite capable, their overall strength was still a far cry compared to the top teams entering the prison.

Even though Xie Feina had made a breakthrough, joining such a team meant that entering the Lower Level Area of the prison would merely allow her to take a limited stroll, unable to accomplish anything substantial.

After waiting two to three hours, and as several teams gradually arrived at Mist Mountain Prison, the mist enveloping the mountains suddenly thinned, revealing a path leading deep into the mountain.

"The prison is open, everyone move in!"

All the teams present, upon witnessing this, stepped onto the path one after another.

"We should enter too. The prison will only be open for three days and will close again thereafter. The prisoner is located in a rather secluded part of the Lower Level Area, and finding him will likely take considerable time." Xie Feina handed the agreed nine keys to Lin Qi, sharing one with Priscilla, and glanced at the players behind Lin Qi, explaining, "Only two thousand people can enter the Lower Level Area. Once that limit is reached, the entrance will automatically close. With so many people, it's impossible for all of you to enter. Each major team tolerates, at most, one hundred people. I can form a hundred-man corps on my side without much issue."

"So you can only take 198 people into the Lower Level Area. Any more, and it's not just the major teams; even those top teams will take action against us. You need to quickly select two hundred-man teams."

"Less than two hundred people can enter?" Lin Qi pondered, asking, "Then, if people in the Lower Level Area die, can people from the Middle Level Area enter?"

"That's possible. In the past, many members from teams in the Middle Level Area entered the Lower Level Area this way." Xie Feina nodded, roughly understanding what Lin Qi was thinking.

This time, Lin Qi brought a full thousand players. With the reputation of the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall and hers, entering the Middle Level Area posed no problem. But getting all into the Lower Level Area was a pipe dream. However, if those in the Lower Level Area died, others could replace them.

"Alright, then I am relieved." Lin Qi couldn't help but smile.

Previously, he was concerned about how to deal with too many player deaths. But if only less than two hundred could enter, and the rest scattered in the Middle Level Area, as long as the players in the Lower Level Area didn't die too conspicuously, the secret of players respawning wouldn't be discovered.

Lin Qi then organized nearly two hundred players with the highest strength, while the others would have the freedom to act in the Middle Level Area, provided they didn't actively provoke teams from major forces.

While many players had objections, feeling it was unfair that only a small number could enter the monster activity area after finally entering a super dungeon, Lin Qi, the highest authority NPC, said so. They had no choice but to comply; otherwise, they could forget about playing the game without obeying the Hall Master's orders.

Soon, the players split into two major groups, entering Mist Mountain Prison with Lin Qi. One group followed Lin Qi deeper into the Lower Level Area, while the other set their respawn points in the Upper Level Area before freely moving about.

Mist Mountain Prison, Lower Level Area.

In a courtyard unknown meters deep underground, surrounded by various statues, small bridges, flowing water, and lush greenery, Xie Feina and Lin Qi's team was still a kilometer away when they saw a group besieging a towering figure in the courtyard. Leading them were Parius and Hundred Beasts Kalade.

Under the suppression of Parius and Hundred Beasts Kalade, the more than three-meter-tall humanoid Guard Robot made from mysterious metal continually retreated, unable to break out.

"Damn! Still a step too slow." Xie Feina looked at the besieged Guard Robot, her expression grim.

After entering the prison with Lin Qi and the others, although Lin Qi mentioned he discovered something in the prison that delayed them slightly, she alone knew the specific range of the prisoner's activities and had never told a second person. Now, despite heading straight here, she was still a bit slower than the team led by Parius and the others.

"Is that Guard Robot the prisoner you mentioned?" Lin Qi asked curiously, looking at the mechanical figure in the distance wielding two great swords.

The besieged Guard Robot held a pitch-black great sword in each hand. Every swing seemed to suppress even space itself, significantly slowing the reactions of those within, as if they were trapped in a quagmire, severely restricting their movement. If not for Parius and Hundred Beasts Kalade taking turns attacking the Guard Robot with absolute Strength, exploiting opportunities to hinder its attacks, those with Blood Coagulation Realm Initial Tier strength would have long been killed with a single sword.

"Yes, that's the prisoner." Xie Feina nodded, her eyes burning with anger.

Prisoners in the prison possessed varying strengths. While most incarcerated here had Blood Coagulation Realm strength in life, the one she found was genuinely Above Blood Coagulation, therefore boasting formidable power.
