I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 730: Horror Urban Legend Instance

The primeval forest, abundant with lush vegetation and bathed in ample sunlight, boasted an extraordinarily high oxygen level. Upon descending, Nangong Ling felt a rush, almost as if she'd consumed too much oxygen.

Lingyue's dense foliage made the descent challenging.

Consequently, Lin Yi's group had no choice but to descend from mid-air upon reaching Wuli.

There was no need for apprehension regarding safety.

No low-level professionals frequented this area, and furthermore, Lin Yi could effortlessly employ his Gravity Manipulation skill to ensure everyone's safe landing with but a thought.

For a full six seconds, the verdant scenery became a blur before Lin Yi and the others finally set foot on the ground.

"It appears this dungeon is quite sought after!"

The dense canopy above completely obscured the scene below.

It wasn't until they landed on the forest floor that Lin Yi and his companions could discern the throng of people packed tightly at the dungeon entrance.

Mist Tales.

Numerous strategies for this particular dungeon could be found, even on the Shenxiao forums.

The Soul Suppressing 3-5 dungeon, in the past, presented such a formidable challenge that few dared to attempt it.

However, with the Blue Star Will's growing strength, the overall prowess of Blue Star professionals had surged, making this dungeon seem far less daunting.

A significant crowd, numbering in the thousands, had gathered at the entrance. Even War God level experts were present, setting up stalls and offering their services for hire.

"There's no other way. From what I gather, this is a hundred-person dungeon. While its difficulty isn't necessarily extreme, the mechanism where a single misstep dooms the entire party is exceptionally harsh."

"After all, how can one ascertain the skill level of random strangers when not part of a pre-formed team?"

Nangong Ling, ever the picture of meticulousness, had conducted extensive strategizing before the dungeon commenced.

Mist Tales – it was infamously known as a horror dungeon. Its terrifying reputation stretched back a millennium on Blue Star.

A thousand years ago, in the Wuli County region, a chilling legend of the Mist Tapir circulated.

This creature, whose existence was unproven, was described as being covered in fur, emitting a foul stench, possessing elongated limbs, immense strength, and incredible speed. In its time, it was considered a supernatural entity. The sheer description alone was unsettling.

Nangong Ling couldn't fathom why cultivation professionals would be utterly terrified by such a creature.

It seemed clear that adhering to the conditions set forth by Mist Tales would allow for a flawless completion.

"Miss Nangong, I hadn't realized you were so courageous. I hope you maintain your bravery later on,"

Chubby Feng San remarked teasingly, seemingly inviting a reprimand.

Given that the dungeon was designed for a hundred participants, assembling a full team posed no difficulty.

Amid the cacophony of voices, Lin Yi cleared his throat, his voice resonating like a mystical summons throughout the entire dungeon entrance.

"Greetings, everyone. I am Lin Yi."

"Is anyone interested in joining my team?"

"It's free of charge."

Instantly, even the stall owners were completely captivated by Lin Yi's declaration.

The prospect of hiring help suddenly lost its allure.

Upon recognizing him as the Xia Dragon God War God, the atmosphere erupted into sheer fervor – an understatement, to say the least.

He was, after all, ranked number one on Blue Star.

The saying, "Following Lin Yi inevitably leads to success," had already become a widespread adage across Blue Star.

To have the opportunity to team up with Lin Yi himself, let alone simply see him, was an electrifying experience.

The final boss of Mist Tales was rumored to be an invincible entity within the dungeon's confines.

Mere challengers could only comply with its demands, scarcely daring to entertain any other thoughts.

Even the War God level experts acting as escorts were primarily skilled in Illusion Techniques.

Should team members deviate from the dungeon's requirements, these experts would deftly employ their illusions to counteract the fear induced by the Mist Tapir, thereby ensuring a smooth progression.

This time, everyone was eager to witness the historic confrontation between the so-called invincible dungeon boss and Blue Star's strongest cultivator.

The ninety-six individuals quickly assembled, and once the team was formed, Lin Yi used the Descent Invitation to activate the dungeon entrance.

A familiar aura of the Descent Abyss emanated from the dark purple portal.

Accompanying it was a nauseating odor.

Following this eerie, chilling aura, all one hundred professionals stepped into the dungeon as a unified group.

The scenery before Lin Yi abruptly blurred and warped, but after a few moments, it gradually resolved.

Choo choo~

The piercing whistle of a train cut through the otherwise silent, pitch-black night, reaching the ears of everyone present.

This peculiar yet familiar sound stirred a flood of memories within Lin Yi.

Shortly thereafter, the dungeon's official announcement resounded.

"[Welcome, Will Dominator Mr. Lin Yi, to this dungeon. Your esteemed presence graces this place with distinction.]"

[Please control your emotions during the upcoming trials and refrain from causing destruction.]

[A warm welcome to all professionals entering the Mist Tales dungeon. We shall now announce the dungeon's regulations.]

[Regulation 1: While aboard the train, no matter what you perceive through sight, sound, or touch, screaming is strictly forbidden. Failure to comply will result in the entire team's disqualification from the challenge.]

[Regulation 2: You are forbidden from harboring any ill will towards the Mist Tapir or initiating any attacks against it. Kindly remember, the Mist Tapir possesses invincibility within this dungeon! Should it become enraged, it will directly eliminate the instigator, leading to the entire team's failure.]

[Regulation 3: Regardless of who calls out to you, you must not respond. Under any circumstances, avoid making eye contact with the Mist Tapir, as it will abduct you, resulting in the entire team's failure.]

[The Mist Tales train is scheduled for departure shortly, with a journey duration of two hours. Prepare yourselves for an immersion in fear, my fellow travelers.]

The dungeon rules were indeed precisely as detailed on the forums.

This particular dungeon, to be entirely candid, presents a simple challenge.

All that is required is to sever your five senses, close your eyes, and drift into slumber throughout the Mist Tales journey to emerge victorious with ease.

However, if one were to describe its difficulty, it is undeniably immense.

Out of a hundred participants, if even a single individual with insufficient mental fortitude is singled out by the Mist Tapir, perhaps touched a few times or even licked once or twice, the profoundly unsettling sensation can instantly dismantle their resolve.

Crucially, the Mist Tapir is established as an unassailable entity within the dungeon’s confines. Its invincibility is so absolute that even the accompanying War God is powerless to engage it directly, rendering the maintenance of composure the most arduous aspect of this trial.

In preceding team-based dungeons, the train's interior atmosphere was invariably steeped in oppressive tension. Yet, today, every individual, irrespective of gender or cultivation level, bore an expression of eager anticipation.

Each person harbored a burning curiosity to witness firsthand how the allegedly invincible dungeon boss would fare when confronted by Lin Yi.

Choo choo!

As the train began its forward motion, the landscape outside the windows transformed with remarkable speed.

A dense, swirling fog began to envelop the train.

The dungeon had officially commenced!

"Damn, this is exhilarating!"

"What's got you so excited? This doesn't concern you. Are you planning to confront that Mist Tapir monster later?"

"Confront it? I couldn't possibly defeat it. However, someone else will—it's Lin Yi! That's Lin Yi! I can already vividly imagine that monstrosity, which has thwarted my attempts five times, being utterly thrashed. The thought alone is incredibly stimulating!"
