Chapter 823: Chapter 516: Trembling with Excitement (Vote for Monthly Pass!)
The young man seemed somewhat guarded but still extended his hand to shake with Polaris, softly introducing himself:
"Jack."
Upon closer inspection, Polaris was somewhat surprised to find that the current appearance of Teacher Jack did not possess that flawless and handsome face; he now looked like an ordinary young man who was slightly attractive.
"Excuse me, what do you want?"
The young man Jack asked in a deep voice.
"We are planning to escape from here; do you want to join us?"
Polaris said.
"Escape?"
Jack’s eyes lit up immediately but quickly sank into silence. He then asked softly:
"Are you confident? This is the Red Apple Church’s dungeon!"
"Of course, we are..."
Polaris had not finished his sentence.
The guard outside the prison angrily knocked on the bars with a short sword, making a clang clang sound.
"What are you whispering about? Who allowed you to talk? Believe me, I will tear your mouths apart!"
"Doghead Gold."
Polaris turned his head and signaled.
Doghead Gold immediately grasped the intent; he approached with a fierce grin, reached through the iron bars, grabbed the guard’s head who was wearing a leather coat, and pulled back sharply.
Bang!
A loud noise.
With the violent impact, the church guard’s head was deformed, his eyes bulged out, blood seeped from his mouth and nose, and his body convulsed a few times before becoming motionless, dead beyond dead.
"Damn it! What are you trying to do?!"
The other guard was shocked and quickly drew the short sword from his waist.
"Try what? Try your old man!"
Doghead Gold mimicked the novel’s villain, laughing eerily, casually throwing the corpse aside, then gripping the iron bars with both hands and pulling them apart with a force—
Accompanied by the grating sound that made one’s teeth ache, the sturdy prison iron bars were forcibly pulled open to create a large hole!
In the guard’s horrified expression, Doghead Gold pounced like a fierce tiger and smashed his head with a punch!
Blood and thick fluid splashed on the ground.
The young men and women in the prison screamed in shock.
"There’s noise in cell number 5! Hurry up and check it out!"
"Move faster!"
From the end of the corridor, shouting and footsteps were quickly heard, indicating that more guards were arriving soon.
Polaris ignored these; he still maintained a smile, saying to the young Jack:
"So, want to go with us?"
Jack first froze, then gritted his teeth and nodded.
"Alright!"
Seeing the determined look on Jack’s face, Polaris secretly rejoiced.
He could finally show off in front of his teacher!
Helping the weak young man up, Polaris straightened his blue ceremonial hat and turned to his companions:
"Let’s go! Kill our way out!"
"Haha, no problem, Brother Bei! We were waiting for you to say this! These ordinary guards are too weak, they’re not even worth my effort!"
The Dragon King laughed heartily, stepped forward, and kicked the prison door open with a bang.
Facing a small group of church guards rushing from the corridor, the Dragon King unleashed his prowess, transforming his hands into eagle claws and effortlessly tearing apart their bodies.
"Ah!"
"Ugh!"
These ordinary guards were no match for the Sequence Eight Dragon King; within a few breaths, only remnants of corpses and severed limbs remained on the ground.
Blood splattered the dilapidated walls, and the young men and women screamed continuously, silenced by Doghead Gold’s roar of "shut up," which scared them into silence.
Polaris led the young Jack, killing their way out from the dungeon.
They indeed seemed more like devils rather than sacrificial captives, mercilessly slaughtering any Red Apple Church guards they encountered.
Soon, the church reacted, led by Monk Will, bringing several heavily armored, long spear guards, and a group of red-robed, decaying hounds.
Beside Monk Will, the Polaris Squad saw a familiar figure, Floey!
However, she was just an ordinary person at this moment, like Jack himself. Her expression was blank, her eyes hollow, as if without the will to live, merely a walking corpse.
"Take action."
Polaris pressed his hat brim, saying in a low voice.
"Be careful not to hurt Floey; let’s try to rescue her as well."
"Understood, Brother Bei."
The Dragon King and Tutu responded.
Rip!
Chenxi threw out an Acid Scroll, and the dark green liquid rained down on the heavily armored guards; their thick metal armor emitted green smoke and sizzled, becoming pitted and decayed within moments.
Thud! Thud!
Honey Pomelo shot two arrows in quick succession, instantly killing two heavily armored guards.
Dongyang, Horseman, and Kuang Benkuang charged together, their golden, blazing fists wiping out the rotting dog pack in one blow.
By the time Pumpkin Girl and Doghead Gold rushed forward, Monk Will was scared out of his wits. He screamed "Heretic!" and turned to flee.
However, Polaris just flicked his fingers, sending a high-speed spinning card piercing through the back of Will’s head.
Thud!
Before Monk Will could scream, he collapsed forward, dead on the spot.
In this way, the Polaris Squad rescued Floey once again, fighting all the way to the dungeon’s exit.
However, it seemed that the dungeon’s final boss, Priest Carter, had long been waiting there. But before he could say more than a few words of introduction, his speech was interrupted by a card thrown by Polaris.
Enraged, Priest Carter transformed into a small giant. In the next second, Polaris swapped places with his flying card, appearing behind Carter. A gigantic crocodile mouth instantly bit off the upper half of Carter’s body.
Blood spurted like a fountain.
The Polaris Squad members all received a prompt on their screens—
[Main Dungeon Line Completed: You have helped Jack Spett escape the dungeon]
[Hidden Side Line Completed: You have rescued Nun Floy Wolf]
[Overall Rating: Speedrun (Grade A)]
[Dungeon Rewards: 10,000 Experience Points, 5 Gold Pounds, 50 Circus Contribution Points, and ’Flesh Sequence Nine - Butcher’ Supernatural Knowledge *1]
The scene distorted and changed, and the group found themselves back on the cobblestone path of the Wonderland Nature Forest.
"Awesome! We speedran through it already? It wasn’t that hard!"
Dragon King said with a laugh.
Doghead Gold and Horseman, along with other squad members, also looked very happy.
"The rewards for clearing this dungeon once are so generous! Ten thousand experience points are enough for me to level up and then some!"
"And this hidden dungeon even drops Supernatural Knowledge!"
Dragon King said in amazement.
"Though it’s just entry-level Flesh-type knowledge, it could still sell for a few dozen Gold Pounds. It’s a pretty good reward..."
"How about we play two more times? That way, I can level up to the max, level 50, and start my Sequence Seven promotion task!"
Doghead Gold said excitedly.
However, Wei Yin rolled her eyes at him and said bluntly:
"Sanity is almost depleted. Let’s go back to the apartment to rest first."
"Yes, let’s go back and rest. Then we can do the second attempt... I also noticed an issue. Let’s discuss it later."
Polaris also spoke up.
No one had any objections, so they all exited the Wonderland.
Lower District of Royal City, in the living room of a low-rent apartment.
The Polaris Squad drank Serenity Potions to restore their Sanity, and Polaris, taking off his blue top hat, began:
"The content of the hidden dungeon ’Prologue’ isn’t really difficult. If we follow the normal process, we just need to rescue Teacher Jack to achieve the mission target... This time we also happened to rescue the nun, which boosted our rating, but even so, our speedrun only got an A rating. There must be a lot we didn’t uncover."
"According to the background story, wasn’t Jack supposed to become a Transcendent in the dungeon... In the hidden dungeon, Sanity Value doesn’t decrease over time, so maybe we could watch the story unfold and make more discoveries?"
Su Keying thought for a moment and said.
"Keying has a point. In the second attempt, let’s take it slow and try to unearth more details. There could be greater rewards."
Dongyang nodded in agreement.
"Since that’s the case, everyone give your opinions. Let’s refine our plan for the second attempt and aim to find more clues."
Polaris smiled and said.
The group felt a renewed sense of joy and anticipation, actively discussing their strategies. Before long, as everyone recovered their state, Su Keying had filled a sheet of paper with tasks and precautions for the second attempt.
"Let’s head out."
Polaris said, putting his hat back on.
"Let’s go! Let’s go!"
Dragon King shouted excitedly, raising his fist.
The Polaris Squad re-entered the Wonderland, purchasing entrance tickets for the dungeon... They had already figured out the conditions to unlock the hidden dungeon. The entrance to the Prologue required defeating the ’Path Guardian’ Nada, so without hesitation, they headed straight for the end of the Nature Forest, the cobblestone path.
On the way, they only killed monsters they couldn’t avoid. In other cases, they avoided battle whenever possible.
In this manner, the Polaris Squad took only about ten minutes to cross the Nature Forest and reach the colorful cobblestone path. There, they surrounded and killed the black cat Nada guarding the path, obtaining the ’Prologue’ manuscript again.
As the manuscript burned in Polaris’ hand, everyone entered the second attempt of the hidden dungeon.
This time, the Polaris Squad was well-prepared.
Instead of bulldozing through like in the first attempt, they chose to "stand by" and quietly observed the unfolding story.
To the players’ surprise, Mr. Jack had moments of vulnerability and tears... When they saw him curled up in a corner, sorrowfully confiding in Nun Floey, Wei Yin’s heart softened on the spot.
If not for Polaris pulling her back, this twin-pigtailed girl would have pounced on Jack, hugging and teasing him.
The following plot then changed.
In the blink of an eye, the scene and time shifted.
The Polaris Squad, along with the young men and women in the cell, were taken to a secret chamber where they had to read a book one by one as "sacrifices."
Accompanied by blood-curdling screams and the violent deaths of the young sacrifices, the players instantly realized that this was a Mysterious Object or possibly Supernatural Knowledge!
When it was Polaris’ turn, he picked up the ’Philip’s Diary,’ and as he flipped through it, his expression froze, then his eyes filled with ecstatic joy.
[You have discovered Path of Destiny Supernatural Knowledge!]
[’Sequence Six - Aerial Acrobat’ (1/10)!]
