Chapter 1 Crystal Coffin

Level: B

Effect: When a player lies inside, they will lose the ability to act, but their body will never decay.

Looking at the coffin's stats, Qiao Yu was speechless. He thought it would have some impressive effect, but what good was a body that didn't rot?

"I have every reason to suspect this is the King of Hell's coffin!"

Wang Da-fu waved his hand, his face full of excitement.

"Legend says that you can enter the real underworld from the pseudo-underworld副本 (fùběn, instance dungeon)! Now it seems the legend is likely true!"

"The real underworld?" Qiao Yu was a little dazed.

"That's right!" Wang Da-fu nodded.

"The real underworld is said to be very terrifying, basically everyone who goes there dies."

"Then why go to the real underworld?" Qiao Yu asked.

Wang Da-fu gave him a puzzled look.

"Of course, it's for the King of Hell's inheritance! Otherwise, who would run to the underworld? Don't they find it unlucky?"

"The King of Hell's inheritance..."

Qiao Yu was shocked. He remembered the King of Hell seed he had just obtained.

Could it be that the King of Hell seed is related to the legendary King of Hell's inheritance?

Forget it.

Qiao Yu shook his head. These were not things he should be considering now.

What he should really be considering was how to complete the ultimate mission before him.

He didn't have a single clue how to destroy this pseudo-underworld instance dungeon.

It couldn't be that he had to rely on brute force to blow up the entire instance dungeon, could it?

Qiao Yu wasn't confident to that extent.

With his strength, it was difficult enough to fight a Hellhound, let alone blow up the entire pseudo-underworld instance dungeon.

"Huh? This place has two holes just like the gate just now!" Wang Da-fu exclaimed, standing in front of the crystal coffin.

Hearing this, Qiao Yu rushed over. Looking down from above the transparent crystal coffin, he could clearly see two black holes.

And they looked exactly like the holes on the gate just now.

"I'll help you move the coffin away!"

As he spoke, Wang Da-fu directly raised his hand and put away the crystal coffin.

Qiao Yu glanced at him but said nothing.

Although the crystal coffin was a B-grade equipment, he had just seen it and the effect of the crystal coffin was very useless.

It was of no use to him at all.

Although Wang Da-fu hadn't taken action much along the way, he had provided Qiao Yu with a lot of useful information.

It would be too much to not let him get any benefits at all.

Looking at the two holes, Qiao Yu and Zuo Yu exchanged glances.

At the same time, they picked up the crucifixes and stabbed them into the holes.

Wang Da-fu and the freckled woman both craned their necks, seemingly very curious about what would happen next.

Creak! Creak! Creak!

The entire King of Hell's temple suddenly began to shake violently.

The strong tremor made it difficult for people to even stand.

"What's going on?" The freckled woman looked terrified.

At the same time, the voice of the Otherworld system sounded in the minds of Qiao Yu and Zuo Yu at the same time.

[Congratulations to the players for completing the ultimate mission. The instance dungeon will collapse in ten minutes. Please leave quickly.]

[Player Qiao Yu's rating: A; Player Zuo Yu's rating: A; The system will distribute rewards based on the players' ratings.]

[The system is now issuing A-level rewards to player Qiao Yu: Experience +200, Free Attribute Points 20, C-level equipment "Staff of Wisdom"]

Qiao Yu's heart trembled. Since it was a D-level instance dungeon that was cleared, even the rewards for experience points and attribute points had been increased.

"Qiao Yu! My reward is a shield! An A-level shield!"

Zuo Yu couldn't restrain the excitement on her face and almost couldn't help but take out the equipment to show Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu held her hand and signaled her to calm down. Zuo Yu then took a deep breath.

But the excitement in her eyes could not be restrained.

"What the..."

Some were happy and some were sad. Wang Da-fu on the other side was stunned.

"What exactly did you guys do!"

Wang Da-fu was furious, his face full of anger, as if Qiao Yu and the others had done something unforgivable.

Qiao Yu ignored Wang Da-fu, pulled Zuo Yu up, and was about to leave.

Anyway, the matter of the shield had been resolved, and he didn't want to pay attention to Wang Da-fu at all now.

Leaving the pseudo-underworld as soon as possible was the most important thing.

"This instance dungeon is the foundation of my wealth. If you destroy this instance dungeon, you are cutting off my financial path! You can't leave!"

Wang Da-fu stood in front of Qiao Yu and the others with an angry face.

"Are you crazy? If you want to argue, you can argue outside. When this instance dungeon collapses, we will all be buried inside and unable to get out!"

Faced with Zuo Yu's question, Wang Da-fu no longer had the flattering appearance he had before.

Instead, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and a bit of resentment emerged from his fat face.

"Is that so? You cut off my financial path. Does it matter whether I get out or not?"

"Wang Da-fu, if you want to die, don't drag me down with you!" The freckled woman screamed loudly and wanted to run.

Unexpectedly, Wang Da-fu suddenly kicked her, sending her rolling out like a gourd.

The freckled woman crashed into a stone pillar and lost consciousness immediately.

"Damn it, you stinky woman, you've been chirping all the way, it's so annoying." Wang Da-fu said.

"You're not arguing with us because of this, are you?" Qiao Yu said lightly.

The anger on Wang Da-fu's face obviously froze.

"What? Kid, do you think I have any other reason to attack you?" Wang Da-fu asked with a sneer.

"Yes."

Qiao Yu nodded.

"Oh? Then tell me." Wang Da-fu asked with interest, his unhurried attitude seemingly not worried about the instance dungeon collapsing at all.

"Because you are a member of Bai Ze."

Qiao Yu said expressionlessly.

Wang Da-fu was stunned for a moment, then all the anger on his face disappeared, and he burst out laughing.

"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!"

"No wonder the adults specifically named you to be captured. You are really amazing. I hid so well, but you were still able to see that I am a member of Bai Ze."

"Can you tell me, when did you start suspecting me?"

Wang Da-fu asked.

"Um... from the time you showed the Bai Ze tattoo on your back." Qiao Yu answered truthfully.

Wang Da-fu: "……?"

"That's it?"

"Yes!" Qiao Yu was very honest. "In the Underworld Judgment Hall, your clothes were damaged by the stones I threw out, and then I saw the Bai Ze tattoo on your back."

"From that time on, I suspected that you were sent by Bai Ze. After all, the probability of running into someone who has a tattoo of the divine beast Bai Ze and has nothing to do with Bai Ze is lower than winning the lottery."

Wang Da-fu was silent.

He didn't expect that he was seen through because of a tattoo.

Then what was he pretending for the rest of the time? Was he pretending for nothing?

Qiao Yu continued.

"If the Bai Ze tattoo only made me suspect you, then your subsequent active help and then your blocking me when the instance dungeon was about to collapse confirmed your suspicion."

Qiao Yu coldly threw the two crucifixes in front of Wang Da-fu.

"If I'm not mistaken, these two crucifixes should be the work of your Bai Ze, right?"

"Hehe, you are indeed quite smart." A cold light flashed in Wang Da-fu's eyes.

"But it's useless, you can't escape today!"

"Chotto matte (wait a minute), I have another question." Qiao Yu said.

"Can you tell me, why destroy this instance dungeon when you just wanted to catch me?"
