Lin Yi declined Gangguo's leader's offer to assist his team's dungeon efforts in the Green Barbarian Ruins, choosing to lead them personally due to the dungeon's high difficulty. The leader revealed that Gangguo's exclusive dungeon, Ancient Wild Ridge, contains the rare material De Zhi Xin needed for Lin Yi's skill upgrade but hesitated due to his infamous 'dungeon destroyer' reputation. Lin Yi assured restraint and proceeded into the perilous 39th layer of Green Barbarian Ruins with Sun Dachuan.

Certain lucky souls can peer into their futures via this ancient tribe, adjusting their life paths accordingly to draw in blessings and evade calamities, propelling them to greater heights and successes.

Lin Yi surely wouldn't overlook a dungeon brimming with plentiful resources!

Right now, Lin Yi's Descent Abyss progress hasn't delved to such profound depths yet. Driven by ambitions for monumental achievements, he has somewhat overlooked enhancing this aspect. Whether the 39th floor of Descent Abyss holds this dungeon remains uncertain, making it a smart move for him to join Sun Dachuan inside and snag some benefits.

With Lin Yi putting it so plainly, Latar had no choice but to share every possible cautionary detail about the dungeon.

Wasting no time on chit-chat, following a brief round of greetings, Lin Yi along with Sun Dachuan and his two companions set off toward the [Green Barbarian Ruins].

The dungeon's entry lies buried deep in a lush ancient woodland.

A faint emerald, timeless energy shimmers amid the tangled undergrowth.

Guided by the Gangguo National Defense Team, Lin Yi's quartet arrived directly over the dungeon and assembled their party ahead of time.

"Elder Lin Yi, the dungeon your friend must conquer lies right beneath. Your friend simply needs to present the Descent Invitation for seamless entry."

The Gangguo Guard Team politely briefed the scenario while showing utmost respect to Lin Yi and Sun Dachuan's trio.

That sensation was utterly exhilarating!

Normally, as Shenxiao students, their chest badges granted them prestige everywhere they ventured.

Yet, accompanying Lin Yi elevated it to pure bliss, akin to declaring: Blue Star belongs to my kin!

After Lin Yi had guided them once, Sun Dachuan and the others now possessed elite privileges in Gangguo.

Who wouldn't meticulously note down those escorted by Elder Lin Yi?

It's no overstatement that Sun Dachuan and crew could anticipate identical honors on return trips to Gangguo, perhaps even rallying a few Gangguo War Gods to assist in dungeons.

With zero desire to act superior, Sun Dachuan produced his invitation, activated it, and directed it toward the dungeon portal.

As it approached, the invitation released a deep violet Descent aura that merged with the dungeon's verdant radiance, blending perfectly.

Right then, a distinct magnetic force emerged, tearing a fissure in the dungeon entrance leaking emerald light.

Yielding to the magnetic pull, Lin Yi and companions were swiftly transported inside the dungeon as one.

No surprise it's named [Green Barbarian Ruins].

The whole place pulsed with green hues and raw savagery.

Upon entry, Lin Yi swiftly grasped the dungeon's layout.

In essence, this dungeon mirrored an amplified slice of Gangguo's primal woods.

Except the wilderness here teemed with far denser vegetation than outside.

Gazing out from the ruins' heights, nearly every tree stood as a colossal rarity from the outer world. The flying and prowling beasts matched in enormity; even tiny insects like dragonflies boasted near five-meter wingspans.

Lin Yi's group's arrival stirred minimal disturbance. Thanks to Gravity Manipulation, they descended smoothly while hovering.

Nevertheless, the entire forest's inhabitants exploded into frenzy.

Be they avian or terrestrial, every creature reacted intensely.

The tinier ones shrieked in panic while bolting away.

The bigger beasts instantly poised for combat, locking gazes on Lin Yi's airborne party.

"Ha, these dungeon beasts pack a punch in sensitivity, huh? Their detection is top-notch," Lin Yi chuckled coldly to himself, gearing up to deploy his mechanical barrier — [Eternal Guardian] — to shield the trio from incoming assaults.

"Huh? Junior, what do you mean?"

Despite her keen vision, Nangong Ling couldn't pinpoint every beast's status across the dungeon.

Sun Dachuan and Feng Sanyou shared the confusion, eyeing Lin Yi inquisitively.

"Didn’t you notice? The instant we entered this dungeon, nearly every creature sensed our presence?"

"Our entry was nearly silent, super stealthy at worst? The frail ones fled in fear, clearly dodging us, while the tougher, bulkier ones sized us up."

Details on this rare dungeon are scarce.

Almost nonexistent, really.

Even the all-knowing Shenxiao Forum offers just scraps of intel.

"Yi, I've picked up a fresh [Spatial Interlace] skill lately, which turns us invisible. Should I cast the buff on the group?"

Invisibility!

Don’t look down on him—Feng Sanyou might seem unremarkable at first glance, yet his Space Attribute abilities are genuinely outstanding.

For one-on-one battles, this plump fellow doesn’t exactly shine at the top.

However, when it comes to utility, this chubby guy’s contributions rival those of an average War God powerhouse.

This little fatty reached such heights so swiftly, all because of Lin Yi’s help.

"Alright, let’s give it a shot. I’ll hold back this time just to watch brother Dachuan struggle," Lin Yi teased with a grin.

As they talked, Feng Sanyou started his incantation, applying the team buff.

Yet, once he finished chanting, Feng Sanyou’s ability failed to trigger.

Sharp-eyed Nangong Ling spotted Feng Sanyou’s distressed look and quickly asked with curiosity.

"Feng Sanyou, what’s wrong? You look really troubled; is there some issue?"

Lin Yi and Sun Dachuan glanced his way, confirming the chubby’s face was scrunched up like constipation.

Awkwardly rubbing his head, he said apologetically.

"It’s weird, right? I completed the chant fully, my Mana Value got consumed, cooldown kicked in, but the skill never went off."

"I can’t figure out precisely what went wrong."

Sun Dachuan and the rest didn’t fault him for the slip-up right at this crucial juncture.

To them, across the entire Blue Star, Lin Yi alone is flawless, so it’s expected for anyone else to slip occasionally on missions.

"Don’t sweat it, I’ve got this," Nangong Ling laughed lightly, gesturing before launching into her own chant.

She didn’t possess invisibility skills herself, but tricks to fool enemy sight were in her arsenal.

Keeping a handful of folks from getting targeted temporarily? Piece of cake!

Still, moments later, worry crept across Nangong Ling’s features too.
