"Please select the game mode that your team wishes to join.
"You have selected Team Survival Mode (Nightmare), please confirm."
After everyone was ready, Feng Bujue was still the team leader, and he led the team into the scenario.
"Your team is joining Team Survival Mode (Nightmare). The maximum number of members in the team is six.
"Your team has joined the queue.
"Coordinating neural connections. Generating scenario …"
"Downloading, please wait a moment."
When the system announcement appeared, everyone in the log-in lobby felt that familiar sense of weightlessness, and they were submerged in darkness.
The teleportation … had begun.
"Welcome to Thriller Paradise." The dry and hoarse male voice said that as the introductory greeting came.
[Download complete. You are currently in Team Survival Mode (Nightmare).]
"A scenario introduction is provided in this mode, and there is a chance of triggering hidden side missions and special world-building.
"Scenario Cleared Reward: Optional Puzzle Card x4
"The scenario introduction will be played soon. The game will start immediately after that."
When the members of Underworld Frontline saw the reward for clearing the dungeon, they were shocked. After all … even a random puzzle card x4 was already a very rare reward. But this time, the reward for clearing the dungeon was actually 4 random puzzle cards?
In the current patch where there was a Puzzle Card Exchange, every player would have three to five unusable cards in their inventory. If they were given four 'selectable' cards, they would only need to combine them with their original cards and exchange them at the Exchange, and they would be able to come up with a large number of difficult puzzle card combinations. In other words, it was the same as giving them a powerful Legendary-tier equipment.
"Even though I had this feeling when I joined as a team of six …" Feng Bujue thought to himself. "But from the content of the reward, perhaps this scenario will be more difficult than I expected …"
"Abnormality detected.
Reloading the scenario introduction … "
The next second, an abnormality that had never happened before confirmed Brother Jue's prediction.
"An unknown error occurred in the scenario. Disconnecting …
[Encountered unknown data flow, initiating emergency process …]
The last part of the system voice seemed to have been cut off by some kind of force.
And the players … were not disconnected.
…
The Chaos Scorched Earth, the Blood Fiend Realm.
Dark clouds covered the sky and ashes covered the ground.
At this moment, in this land of slaughter full of demons and monsters, a teleportation array surrounded by dozens of magic reliefs was emitting a brilliance that was incompatible with the surrounding environment.
Buzz buzz buzz —
With a buzzing sound, three figures appeared in the formation.
They were … three players, Feng Bujue, Wang Tanzhi, and Xu Huai Shang.
"We finally succeeded for once …" When Brother Jue and the others appeared, a youth who looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old with a mature face stood by the side of the formation and muttered.
"Old Wang?" Feng Bujue followed the voice and immediately recognized that it was Dianli King.
"Long time no see, Feng Bujue." Dianli King was too lazy to complain about the way Brother Jue addressed him, so he pretended not to hear it and greeted him directly.
"Wow, you've grown quite a bit since we last met." When Feng Bujue last met Dianli King, the latter was still a child. "By the way … is that part of your new look?" Brother Jue turned his gaze to a strange bird that was standing on Dianli King's shoulder.
It was an owl-like creature with a brown back and a white stomach. Its body was larger than a normal owl, and its head was that of a cat. It really was an owl with a cat's head.
"It's me." To Brother Jue's surprise, one second later, the owl opened its mouth to answer him.
"Beep!" Feng Bujue blurted out an exclamation that was blocked, and then he recognized the strange bird. "Brother Jue?"
"Yes, it's me." The Count of Script answered. "Many things have happened recently … In any case, I can only exist in this form, and in terms of power … I'm much weaker than before."
"Even though I don't want to interrupt your reunion …" Xu Huai Shang suddenly interjected, "But I have to warn you, something is coming …"
As expected of a super expert, she was very sensitive to danger and hostility.
Just as she finished, a monster with bat wings on its back leaped out from the air about 20 meters away from them, and it swung its claws at them.
The monster looked like a gargoyle but its body was purple in color and it was extremely thin. It should have the ability to fly silently and invisibly because before Xu Huai Shang spoke, its body was still in stealth mode. The sound of its flight was also muffled by the wind, making it extremely difficult to detect.
Whoosh!
Everything happened in the blink of an eye!
Just as the monster was about to pounce, the sound of an arrow piercing through the air whistled through the air.
Immediately after, a 'poof' sound was heard …
Xiao Tan used Touch of Altair to launch this attack, and it hit the monster's head precisely between its brows.
No matter how strong the monster was, there was no saving it now that its brain had been pierced by the arrow. A few seconds later, it fell to the ground due to inertia. Its twitching body and flowing brain matter announced its death.
"Hmm … There's not even a 'safe time' to get used to the environment after entering the dungeon …" Xiao Tan had gotten used to the various situations in the game, and he was used to dealing with this kind of sudden danger calmly …
"Hah …" Dianxia King heard that and laughed drily. "What safe time is there to talk about when we're in the middle of chaos? It's not even safe to breathe here."
As he spoke, the Count of Script silently flew down from his shoulder and landed next to the monster that had just died. He lowered his head to lick at the brain matter on the ground.
As he did so, he said, "These teleportation reliefs are indeed too conspicuous. Let's go somewhere else to talk."
"I am not going to ask why you summoned me here through the teleportation circle …" Feng Bujue did not comment on the man's brain-eating behavior. He knew that there had to be a reason behind the Count of Script's action, so he cut to the chase. "I just want to ask … why are you doing something like this in the middle of chaos? Can't you just set up a formation at the Detective Club? "
"Good question." Dianxia King looked at his Brother Jue coldly and revealed a shocking news. "Let me tell you something that is not that big of a deal at this stage — the Detective Club has been destroyed."
