Virus King - Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Lord Baek San? The Terror of the Underworld!

TL: YYang

The Underworld, as an exceptionally rare large-scale dungeon, held secrets and opportunities that no one could resist. The potential items, experience, equipment, and skills produced in such a dungeon could provide Evolvers with the chance for a glorious transformation.

Naturally, this piqued everyone’s interest.

In this situation, Evolvers from the northern territories, as well as those rushing over from the Dragon Nation and Goguryeo, were present in significant numbers.

When Chen Bai and his companions arrived, they immediately saw this scene and quickly noticed the tense standoff between the two factions.

To the vast multiverse, the national factions within a single world didn’t even qualify as proper factions.

In the broader cosmic context, the true factions were defined by humanity, other species, and interworld sects of massive scale. Within this structure, the national factions of Blue Star seemed relatively insignificant.

However, there was no denying that these national factions had their own significance.

At this very moment, this confrontation fully displayed that division!

At the entrance to the Underworld, several groups stood in clear opposition, none showing the slightest sign of backing down.

Due to the strange nature of the Underworld’s entrance, no one had managed to enter smoothly.

When Chen Bai and his group arrived, they drew the attention of everyone stationed there.

Riding on horseback, their entrance among the crowd was peculiar and eye-catching.

Chen Bai paid no attention to the gazes directed at them, casting a brief glance before leading Chang Liu and Liu Huai to the edge of the crevice.

The Underworld lay beneath this crack. However, the gap had no stable footing, and there was only one way to enter—jumping straight down!

After a ten-second fall, the entrance to the dungeon realm would appear.

Once you jumped, there was no turning back.

Otherwise, you’d meet your end, crushed in the darkness.

Of course, this danger only applied to lower-tier Evolvers. For those with the ability to fly, like Chen Bai, it was hardly an issue.

At that moment, all eyes were fixed on the three newcomers.

Anyone capable of traversing such a long distance to arrive here was no ordinary person.

All three wore large, imposing robes. The man at the forefront donned a peculiar priest’s robe paired with a strange mask. The priest’s robe was adorned with a holy light cross, entwined by writhing black tendrils. Anyone with sharp eyes could instantly tell that this was no ordinary equipment.

But beyond their equipment, what captured the crowd’s attention even more were their mounts.

Mounts!

Mounts were considered among the rarest items in the God and Devil Trial Grounds.

The drop rate for mounts and pets was heartbreakingly low.

More importantly, creatures or dungeons capable of dropping mounts were exceedingly rare.

Among everyone present, no one else possessed such things.

The arrival of this trio naturally attracted immediate attention.

“Where are you three from?” A gruff voice rang out in Dragonese.

Chen Bai didn’t respond, but Chang Liu chuckled and replied, “Dragon Nation.”

These two words instantly caused the expressions of two opposing factions to change.

One group immediately stepped forward and declared, “People of the Dragon Nation, this is the territory of our Great Han Nether Nation. You are not welcome here. Do not proceed further, or don’t blame us for being rude!”

The words were spoken in Goguryeo’s language. Chen Bai naturally didn’t understand, but with the Eye of Secrets, the soul fluctuations were instantly analyzed, and the meaning became clear.

At its core, Goguryeo’s language was just a reversed form of Dragonese, making it relatively easy to comprehend.

Chen Bai’s gaze fell on the speaker.

Level 19. B-Rank profession: Acolyte.

A rather impressive expert, considering the apocalypse had been ongoing for less than four months.

Those above level 20 undoubtedly belonged to the first echelon.

Reaching level 19 was already remarkable. However, in Chen Bai’s eyes, this person was just a slightly larger ant.

Chen Bai smiled faintly.

“You don’t need to worry about that. Before long, even your Goguryeo will be part of the Dragon Nation.”

He didn’t speak in Goguryeo’s language, but it was clear that the man before him understood Dragonese. His expression immediately shifted, and he stared at Chen Bai with suspicion and wariness.

Meanwhile, another Goguryeo individual shouted, “Dragon Nation scum, don’t be arrogant! Lord Baek San will arrive soon. When that happens, neither you nor these Northerners will be able to stay!”

Hmm?

Chen Bai raised an eyebrow slightly. This was fine—he found such troublemakers annoying, the kind that jumped around on forums. When the time came, he could deal with them and these people altogether.

His calm gaze swept over the group before him, and his terrifying spiritual pressure instantly radiated outward.

The Goguryeo Evolvers immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Under the immense spiritual pressure, they couldn’t even stand before Chen Bai. To the astonishment of the onlookers, they stepped aside, allowing Chen Bai, Liu Huai, and Chang Liu to pass unimpeded.

Chen Bai wasn’t surprised by this and led the group to the edge of the crevice.

Below lay a vast, dark chasm. If no one had tested it, no one would have believed this was the entrance to a dungeon realm, let alone its interior!

The trio put away their mounts and leapt into the crevice.

It was the first time since the standoff began that anyone entered the Underworld, and no one could stop them.

“Big Brother, these Dragon Nation people…”

Among the Goguryeo faction, someone grumbled in dissatisfaction.

The leading Acolyte snorted coldly. “These people are mysterious but undeniably strong. Don’t worry. Lord Baek San will arrive soon and personally enter the Underworld. When the time comes, we’ll deal with them. No matter how powerful they are, they’re no match for Lord Baek San!”

“As for the Underworld dungeon,” he added with a sinister gleam in his eyes, “do you think we’ve been avoiding entering it out of caution? The large-scale dungeon of the Underworld contains smaller secret realms, none of which are ordinary. No one who entered has returned alive. All the news circulating outside comes from those who lingered at the periphery without venturing into the true dungeon.

If they want to throw their lives away by entering, then we won’t even need Lord Baek San to take action. They’re digging their own graves!”

A cold and malicious glint flickered in his eyes as he spoke.
