Virus King - Chapter 356

Chapter 356: Large-Scale Chain Dungeon! The Terrifying Jiangcheng Zoo!

TL: YYang

So, this power plant dungeon was connected to the Pool of Ten Thousand Thunders, wasn’t it?

Chen Bai nodded in satisfaction. After a brief inspection with his spirit strength, he found nothing unusual and exited the dungeon with contentment, casually releasing a video walkthrough of the secret realm dungeon.

To be honest, his walkthrough video had almost no practical value. The overwhelming power gap was simply too terrifying!
There wasn’t even room for analysis.

After collecting all the loot, Chen Bai waved at Song Ziqiong, who was waiting outside the dungeon.

“This dungeon is pretty good. You all can check the video for reference. Once your strength is sufficient, you can give it a try!”

If nothing else, even the Lightning Cores dropped by the smaller Lightning Sprites were already quite valuable.

Although, without his terrifying drop rate, obtaining the crafting blueprint for the so-called Lightning Type-1 Combat Mecha would likely be incredibly difficult—but not impossible!

A dungeon that could drop equipment blueprints had immense value. It might even surpass that of the Plague Sewer. Although the Plague Sewer was a Hell-level dungeon, its extreme difficulty made it hard to farm. The last time Chen Bai cleared it, aside from the Corrupt Insect King Pet Egg, he didn’t get anything particularly valuable.

In terms of value, it was undoubtedly inferior to the Chaotic Circuit Power Plant.

Of course, it could also have been due to Chen Bai’s luck during his previous Plague Sewer run. Perhaps he simply hadn’t triggered the drop of rare items or equipment.

With this in mind, Chen Bai planned to revisit the Plague Sewer later to give it another try.

However, since he was already out, he didn’t rush back to White Emperor City.

After greeting Song Ziqiong and handing over the energy blocks from the Lightning Cores to test their efficiency, Chen Bai unfolded his Wings of Netherflame once again. Under the envious gazes of everyone around, he spread his wings and soared away!

He wasn’t flying aimlessly over Jiangcheng.

He had a destination in mind—Jiangcheng Zoo!

When he went to fetch Meng Meng and retrieve the Demon Hunter Profession Transfer Scroll, Chen Bai had caught a glimpse of it from afar. It left a deep impression on him, as it was also quite famous within the Dragon Nation in his previous life.

This Jiangcheng Zoo dungeon was notable even among the countless secret realm dungeons of the world.

The reason? Its sheer scale was simply astonishing!

In fact, Song Ziqiong’s Qionghai City owed 20% of its meteoric rise to this special secret realm dungeon!

It was a large-scale secret realm dungeon usable from level 10 all the way up to level 70!

Level 70!

In his previous life, how many people managed to undergo their Third Profession Transfer and break through this threshold even after decades?

Evolvers above level 70 were powerful enough to be called Saints. They could survive and travel freely through the cosmos beyond their planets, existing as supreme beings.

Of course, no one in their right mind would attempt such a thing.

The universe was an immense, mysterious, and unfathomable expanse. Numerous teleportation abilities, spatial transmission equipment, and plane-coordinate locking tools could directly bypass planar barriers. Flying through the cosmos to search for worlds manually was an idiotic and time-consuming endeavor, even for a True God.

From this perspective, the value of the Jiangcheng Zoo was apparent.

Of course, in comparison, the Demon-Sealing Pagoda on Mount Shu could rival—or even surpass—it. The Demon-Sealing Pagoda supported evolvers up to level 80, after all.

Not to mention, Mount Shu contained additional secret realm dungeons.

Chen Bai descended from the sky, landing in the vast expanse of the Jiangcheng Zoo. The zoo housed a wide variety of animal habitats, each meticulously categorized.

It was this categorization that contributed to the dungeon’s extraordinary level range!

[Jiangcheng Zoo]
[Special Large-Scale Chain Dungeon | Suitable Levels: 10-79]

Ignoring the dungeon’s system notification, Chen Bai walked straight in.

In his past life, he hadn’t had the chance to enter this dungeon. Now, he finally had the opportunity to explore it properly. To his surprise, the experience truly opened his eyes.

Upon entering through the outer portal, there weren’t any monsters. In fact, the area served as a public zone. Unlike the Demon-Sealing Pagoda, the Jiangcheng Zoo was far less hostile. As long as one didn’t enter the animal habitats, the public areas were entirely safe. Trading, forming teams, and socializing were all possible here!

Chen Bai soon arrived at the first animal habitat.

[Horse Ranch (Level 10-28 | Hard Difficulty Dungeon) | Enter?]

The Horse Ranch was an excellent secret realm dungeon. Aside from its low-level requirement, the key highlight was the unique loot dropped by the mutated horse monsters: Mount Tokens.

In this apocalyptic world, where all transportation systems had collapsed, only a few options remained: relying on one’s agility and constitution to sprint, using movement skills, or flying.

Alternatively, one could use mounts.

Mount drops were exceedingly rare. Only mutated beasts occasionally dropped mount-related items, making the Horse Ranch dungeon particularly valuable.

However, Chen Bai didn’t enter. After glancing at the entrance, he moved on to other zones.

[Children’s Paradise (Level 10-15 | Normal Difficulty Dungeon)]
[Monkey Mountain (Level 20-30 | Hard Difficulty Dungeon)]
[Wetlands (Level 25-35 | Nightmare Difficulty Dungeon)]

These three, along with the Horse Ranch, constituted all the accessible dungeons in the Jiangcheng Zoo at present.

As for other areas, Chen Bai could catch a faint glimpse of their future entrances:

[Fishing Platform (Level 40-52 | Hard Difficulty Dungeon) | Will unlock in 4 months!]
[Deer Park (Level 50-60 | Nightmare Difficulty Dungeon) | Will unlock in 2 years!]
[Predator Zone (Level 30-70 | Hard Difficulty Dungeon) | Will unlock in 4 years!]
[Terrifying Wild Jungle (Level 40-60 | Hell Difficulty Dungeon) | Will unlock in 8 years!]
[Ant Nest Insect Cavern (Level 70 | Hell Difficulty Dungeon) | Will unlock in 10 years!]

The zoo featured over ten secret realm dungeons, spanning a wide range of levels. There were even two Hell-level dungeons! No wonder Qionghai City had managed to rise so spectacularly in the past.

Now, it all made sense.
