From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword-Chapter 49 Dungeon

After viewing the data prompt for the Abyss Battlefield, the light gradually returned to my eyes.

Lu Heng looked around and discovered that he was in a dark, damp dungeon, where the air was filled with the stench of decay.

There were five people imprisoned in the dungeon, all humans.

Among them, Lu Heng recognized one person, but it was not Su Muyu.

Lu Heng stood up and walked to the entrance of the cell, looking out to see if Su Muyu was held in another cell.

However, his gaze found no trace of Su Muyu.

This was the worst-case scenario he had envisioned, where the two of them had not been teleported to the same place.

At that time,

there was a person beside him who squeezed to the entrance of the cell, peering out.

Unfortunately, this person was Lin Zeyu, whom he had previously seen at Quenching Castle to have his revolver quenched.

Lu Heng turned to glance at him, meeting his eyes filled with vigilance and caution.

Their reactions upon awakening were quite similar: both squeezed their way to the entrance of the cell to look outside.

Thus, it wasn't hard to see that he must also be searching for someone.

Considering Lin Zeyu's family's vast wealth, they did not hesitate to exchange Professional Source Material to watch the quenching process.

With such deep pockets, since he had been conscripted to the Abyss Battlefield, he would definitely hire protectors to enter with him.

Therefore, he must be searching for the protectors that accompanied him into the Abyss Battlefield.

After viewing the situation outside the cell, Lin Zeyu turned discreetly and swept a glance at the few people in the cell, initiating a conversation:

"Hello, everyone, my name is Lin Zeyu, and I've come with a team.

"My few friends have been put in other cells, but we can meet up once we get out.

"The danger level of this Abyss World is rather high, so I hope we can form an alliance and work together.

"Firstly, I want to confirm one thing, whether everyone's missions are the same. Do you all agree?"

The three people in the cell looked around, and one of them skeptically asked, "If someone's mission is different, are we going to fight immediately?"

Lin Zeyu, with a calm demeanor, explained, "Anyone appearing here should have at least been through one Abyss Battlefield, so they should understand that basic trust is very important if we wish to cooperate.

"If someone doesn't want to confirm their mission, that's fine too. They can simply refuse. Of course, if they refuse, there's no chance to form an alliance."

Another person agreed, "I agree that cooperation would certainly be a good thing. Besides, there's nothing in my mission that needs to be kept secret."

The previously skeptical person asked, "How do you plan to confirm others' missions? Will everyone have to write them down on paper?"

Lin Zeyu waved his hand and said, "We don't need to go through such trouble. There are five of us here. We'll each read out the content of one mission and then indicate the next person. If that's okay with everyone, I'll start."

He paused for a moment and scanned the circle of people, seeing no objections, began to recite the content of the first main quest: "My first main quest is: to escape from the prison before the Resurrection Ceremony begins. Next, it's your turn."

He finished and looked towards Lu Heng who was standing aside.

This method of establishing basic trust was something Lu Heng had experienced many times; if one had nothing to hide, indeed there was no need for secrecy.

Moreover, Power Users teleported to the same location were highly likely to have similar missions—

unless... someone had triggered the Traitor Task.

Lu Heng recited the content of the second main quest and then indicated the next person.

In the end, all five people had read out the content of a mission, confirming that everyone's missions were the same.

It had to be said, this method for establishing fundamental trust was indeed very effective.

The five people in the cell slowly lowered their guard and began discussing matters concerning the Abyss Battlefield.

"This time, the danger level is too high; it's Level 4, two levels higher than the Abyss Battlefield I experienced last time—it's quite worrying."

"Just by reading the world introduction, you can tell this time is dangerous having encountered an Evil God."

"At least there's some good news—the Evil God is dead."

Lu Heng barely spoke and also noticed that these four did not mention "Source Material."

The mission of this Abyss Battlefield was a battle for Source Material.

Yet these four never brought up Source Material, which actually said a lot.

Listening to their discussion for a while, he didn't hear any useful information.

Lu Heng wanted to get out and meet up with Su Muyu quickly—it was very dangerous for her to be alone in the Abyss World.

"Um... I think we should consider how to leave the dungeon."

The first main quest was indeed to escape the prison, so they certainly had to get out.

The reason these people were not in a rush was that there were still seven days before the Resurrection Ceremony, affording plenty of time.

Of course, they couldn't stay too long if they wanted to complete the Challenge Task.

Lin Zeyu continued to organize the discussion: "Since everyone has the same mission, we can form an alliance and cooperate with each other.

"Before that, let's share a bit about our individual skills to facilitate cooperation.

"Let me start again. I am from the Agility system, I have long-range attack capabilities, as well as quite good self-preservation abilities."

Once someone started, the others gradually reported their information.

The information shared was quite simple, mainly to assign responsibilities without revealing detailed Skill data.

After summarizing the information, they established the functional composition of this temporary team.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

One from Strength, two from Agility, one from Spiritual, and one from Perception.

The configuration was very reasonable, enough to form a rather complete team.

Lu Heng looked at the Perception System Power User named Liu Qichen and said, "Then we're relying on you to scout the situation outside."

Liu Qichen nodded and began to report on the situation outside: "This dungeon has four cells, three of which are occupied. I choose the word 'thing' because one of the cells isn't holding people; it's holding monsters.

"There's another cell similar to ours with five people locked up.

"There are Demon Guards at the dungeon entrance, not too high-level, so they should not be difficult to deal with.

"However, outside the dungeon is a Demon Camp with around seventy to eighty demons. Making a forceful escape might be a bit risky."

Just then,

Liu Qichen's tone shifted, adding, "The people in the next cell are looking to make a move; they have an Invisible Assassin who's already approaching the dungeon's entrance."

At the same moment,

a flurry of footsteps could be heard from outside the dungeon, clearly indicating an approaching team.

Lu Heng, hearing this, quickly cautioned, "Something's not right; tell the people next door to hold off."

That Invisible Assassin was also very cautious, sensing that something was amiss and quickly returned to the cell.

Soon after, a Wing Demon Commander flapped its wings down to the entrance of the dungeon, followed by a squad of Demon Servants entering the dungeon.

The Wing Demon Commander was three meters tall and extremely robust, with curved horns on its head and green flame patterns covering its body, and a pair of bat wings on its back.

With just one look, Lu Heng recognized that this Wing Demon Commander was a High Rank Demon, Level 20 and above.

If they had fought just now, roughly half of the ten people in the dungeon would probably have died.

Dealing with just this Wing Demon Commander was already difficult enough, not to mention the dozens of Demon Servants in the Demon Camp outside—without a solid trump card, even self-preservation would be a problem.
