Chapter 179: Exploring the Cavern


"No wonder this guy is so arrogant; turns out he has a motorcycle that fast."

Watching the gunman in a trench coat and sunglasses riding the motorcycle with one hand, leaving the camp's pursuing troops far behind while occasionally turning back to fire a few shots, Wang Zhifan realized that this sudden battle was probably reaching its conclusion.

After all, by this time, the camp's people had a basic understanding of the gunman's strength. They had dispatched the units with the highest defense to withstand the gunman's firepower and continuously harass him; the archers at the rear were hidden, shooting without giving him a chance to retaliate. Although overall, they were still being toyed with by the gunman on the motorcycle, there were no more casualties.

On the other hand, although the gunman player seemed to still be kiting these opponents and appeared to have a substantial advantage, any discerning person could see that he could only retreat at this point. Continuing to tangle in a one-on-many situation would surely risk a critical failure.

Sure enough, in Wang Zhifan's invisible observation, he soon saw the trench coat and sunglasses man stop turning back to shoot and suddenly accelerated the motorcycle into the distant wilderness, completely losing the pursuit behind him. This showed that while he was arrogant, he wasn't entirely insane—he still knew when to run and avoid foolishness.

"Judging from this battle, the combat power of this Lion's Eye Camp's NPC seems not very strong. So many people couldn't take down a single gunman player. Even though this player isn't weak, they seem a bit inept... This place is likely just a small backwater, and what I'm looking for probably won't be here."

The recent spectating provided Wang Zhifan with some information from another perspective. As he pondered, he maintained his invisibility and turned to leave, heading north of the Lion's Eye Camp.

After distancing himself, he proceeded to cast a skill to summon back his Red Deer Horse and continued riding north.

Originally, the Red Deer, being a heavenly steed, could have transported him more efficiently by flying, but taking into account that they were bound to encounter various monsters along the way, flying would make it inconvenient to deal with them. Therefore, he allowed the Red Deer to run and stop like a normal horse on the wild ground, giving him enough time to eliminate new species of monsters and select new rewards.

After about two hours of this, as Wang Zhifan traveled north, his personal space indeed gained several new pieces of equipment as he had anticipated. Unfortunately, they were all of the Fine Layer level, with not a single rare piece, let alone anything higher.

"The rewards for killing ordinary monsters are still too poor; I need to get a BOSS reward to see... The guards at the previous camp mentioned there's a monster lair over here, which seems to mean we're getting close."

After several hours of riding the horse, Wang Zhifan felt quite expectant since the information he had obtained from the camp previously indicated that there should be relatively powerful monsters appearing here. He was already eager to eliminate them to see their reward list and did not heed the earlier advice that he should take a detour.

Sure enough, under his keen observation, about half an hour later, he followed the density of surrounding monsters to a location surrounded by them.

It was a pitch-black sinkhole located on the wilderness. The entrance of the sinkhole didn't appear very large, only about three meters in diameter. It didn't protrude significantly from the ground, but there were thousands of ordinary monsters wandering around it, and monsters were occasionally seen emerging from within.

"This should be what they call the monster lair."

At this moment, Wang Zhifan, using the Wind Concealing Conical Hat's invisibility ability, cautiously rode the Red Deer to the entrance of this sinkhole. Although he lacked dark vision and couldn't see inside its pitch-black depths, his powerful perception endowed him with a radar-like extraordinary ability, allowing him to quite accurately sense the area around the sinkhole's interior. He knew that the space inside was actually quite substantial, connected by large and small tunnels, with monsters moving through each one, intermittently heading toward the surface entrance.

"Red Deer, you can go back and rest now; I have to explore this place myself."

Unable to sense how deep this whole sinkhole went or detect any signs of high-level monsters inside, Wang Zhifan immediately dismissed the Red Deer Horse with his summons, maintaining his invisibility state, and quietly entered the dark entrance of the sinkhole.

He was immediately met with an overwhelmingly nauseating stench, mingled with a notably strong sinister aura, indicating that his expectations for this place were unlikely to be disappointed.

"This smell is unbearable... I'll send out my dream selves to investigate first."

Though confident in his own strength, Wang Zhifan adopted a more cautious strategy at this juncture. He remained at the entrance of the hole, invisible and hidden, sending only his three dream selves, cultivated through the Great Dream Saber Scripture, ahead to scout.

Ordinarily, the dream selves were intended for combat, but he was now using them entirely as scouting tools. Who knows what expression genuine cultivators of the Great Dream Saber Scripture would have upon learning of this?

Approximately ten minutes later, Wang Zhifan, through his mental connection with the three dream selves, learned that they had already penetrated a kilometer into the depths of the sinkhole. Utilizing their spiritual form, they had traversed countless rock walls, reaching the core of this sinkhole.

Along the way, they had already discovered many elite individuals distinct from ordinary monsters, but they remained concealed and did not engage. Wang Zhifan preferred to understand the overall situation before taking specific action, knowing that hasty engagement could result in unexpected consequences.

"The three dream selves have now entered a vast space deep within this sinkhole. They report that the sinister aura in this space is the densest, indicating that the BOSS of this sinkhole is probably here..."

As he prepared to use his mental avatars to uncover the appearance of this sinkhole's greatest enemy, Wang Zhifan's focus intensified. This was not only because he was curious about the BOSS inside but also due to his awareness that the exploration had reached its most perilous point. If the BOSS's power exceeded a certain level, his dispatched dream selves could be collectively annihilated. While their destruction wouldn't cause him any substantial harm, losing them would mean retraining them, which would be rather displeasing.

So, at this moment, a kilometer below the surface, in a dark chamber connected to the surface entrance via several passageways, three dream selves approached the source of the sinister aura from different directions, breaching the earth and stone.

Like their real self, they lacked the ability to see in the dark and could only rely on sense to make judgments as they neared the target.

But just as their real self had feared, before they could perceive any specific evil presence, a tremendously powerful sinister wave suddenly emerged, almost instantly causing severe damage to all of them.
