Chapter 844 Anomalies in the Newborn Dungeon

Port Danro

With the early arrival of the end of the 3.0 main storyline, more and more players are spontaneously gathering in Danro Port.

Since the release of the legendary questline series in Kane's Sky City, many people have taken notice of this place.

Just like the main questline in version 3.0, the floating city of Kane might also be an integral part of the main questline in version 4.0.

After all, many people are wondering why the game company behind "Divine Revelation" would end the professional league early and rush to advance the world championship process in such a short time.

However, the game company behind "Revelation" has not responded to the players' questions.

Players had many different speculations, and the premature end of the main storyline was one of them.

After all, according to the company that developed the game "Revelation", the game's progress is entirely controlled by artificial intelligence, and even the game company cannot change the game's progress.

Although many people don't believe this, it's the story the game company has consistently told the public.

If that's the case, then it's possible that the main storyline has changed.

Subsequently, the legendary series of quests announced by extraordinary forces such as Kane Floating City and the White Dove Merchant Guild attracted a lot of attention.

After all, the background revealed in this legendary series of missions is already more grand than the background of any previous main storyline.

This is also the first time many players have come across information related to the Endless Abyss, Abyss Beasts, and the Spider Queen Rose.

Just by looking at it, you can feel the turbulent undercurrents hidden behind it.

Many players who have tried to follow the game speculate that this is a clue to the main storyline of version 4.0!
So far, Kane's Floating City and Li Si are the first game factions to be involved in this content.

Even players from other servers are constantly monitoring the situation in Kane's Floating City.

The first part of this legendary quest has attracted the attention of many players.

While the rewards are generous, the clues that appear in those dungeons could potentially affect the game's progress.

It wasn't just professional gamers and guilds; many players, even those who received the quest a day late, enthusiastically threw themselves into it.

As a result, more and more players are coming to Danro Port and Kane Floating City.

With more and more players joining, the vast majority of them also joined the White Dove Merchant Guild.

After all, there are no restrictions on joining the White Dove Merchant Guild, and it does not affect the game faction you have already joined.

Joining the White Dove Merchant Guild offers various benefits, making it a worthwhile and cost-effective option for players.

With the addition of new players, Li Si also reaped a massive amount of experience points and gold coins from these newcomers.

After all, we've reached the later stages of the main storyline, and players have accumulated a lot of experience points.

Moreover, unlike before, with the opening of the small world in version 3.0, more and more players can come to Danro Port through the small world portal.

Even players from other servers are the same.

This also made it much easier for people from other continents to come to Li Si's field of leeks.

This is the opportunity that the opening of the World Server brought to Li Si.

Even though players from other servers were not familiar with Li Si and Danro Port before, as the story of the 4.0 version's main plot spread, more and more players began to pay attention to this place.

Most importantly, what players know so far is only the first stage of the quest.

Many players are quite interested in the progress of the subsequent quests.

Moreover, some players actually found traces of the dungeon's appearance and received extremely generous rewards from Li Si.

Among them are gold-tier equipment!

It's important to know that even now, apart from Kane's Floating City and the White Dove Merchant Guild, player Ma En has not found another extraordinary force that can reliably reward gold-tier equipment.

Although players are not yet able to fully unleash the power of gold-tier equipment, who can resist the allure of high-tier equipment?
As for the professional gamers, they didn't personally take action to search for traces of the dungeon.

There are two reasons for this.

On the one hand, it's because the World Championship is approaching that all professional players are starting to prepare for it.

On the other hand, the first part of this legendary questline is relatively "fair" to all players.

It's really like fishing in the ocean; it has absolutely nothing to do with any skills or strategies.

Therefore, the professional players have all returned to Danro Port to prepare for the upcoming World Championship.

However, various professional guilds are spending a lot of money to acquire information about dungeon locations from other players.

The main purpose is for their own professional players to exchange these items for rewards at Kane's Floating City.

It's important to understand that the opportunity to exchange real-world currency for rewards in the "Divine Revelation" game is an extremely rare opportunity for wealthy professional guilds.

Improving any aspect of one's strength is extremely important before the World Championships arrive.

The reason for such fierce competition is that the official website of the game "Divine Revelation" has issued another announcement.

Because the professional leagues in various regions ended early, additional slots for the World Championship were allocated to each region.

The number of slots available for the China region to enter the World Championship has increased from three to five.

This allowed the Changge team and Xiaochaorou team, who were originally ineligible to participate in the World Championship, to directly fill these two spots based on their professional league points ranking.

This made the already highly anticipated World Championship even more exciting.

During this period, Li Si was not idle either.

Having not spent time with Taiya for a while, the Queen of the Kingdom of Fez has become somewhat clingy.

At the same time, the impending underground crisis necessitates the assistance of the Kingdom of Fez.

At this time, bringing the supreme ruler of the Kingdom of Fez directly to one's side would greatly help improve the communication efficiency between the two parties.

As for how "significant" the improvement would be, that was not Li Si's concern.

Anyway, this was the reason that Taiya informed Radiant City, and Li Si thought that the old king should be able to understand.

Li Si was counting the massive amount of experience he had gained from harvesting players' resources recently.

This allows Li Si to steadily advance towards level 300.

All I can say is that after breaking through to the legendary level, the experience points required to continue leveling up are absolutely terrifying.

Even with the addition of many new players, Li Si's progress towards level 300 is still as slow as a snail's pace.

However, Li Si was not in a hurry.

After reaching level 300, Li Si estimated that he would then truly be in the realm of demigods. Li Si wasn't fully prepared yet; he needed enough time to digest his previous gains.

However, for Li Si, the most urgent task is still dealing with the current underground city.

Following the coordinates provided by the players, Li Si led Taiya to the skies above this newly appeared dungeon.

No underground cities have yet been discovered in the Kingdom of Fez, but they have been found in neighboring kingdoms.

Moreover, judging from its size, this should be a large underground city.

Li Si remained quite cautious about these newly emerging underground cities.

There was no way around it; Li Si's previous life hadn't experienced such a turmoil brought about by the Spider Queen Rose.

Moreover, so far, the gods of order have not figured out how the evil gods, including the Spider Queen Lolth, influenced the Gaia main world and gave rise to these new dungeons.

According to the intelligence obtained by Li Sidu, new underground cities have also appeared on other continents, but the situation is most serious in those underground cities that already existed.

A significant portion of those underground city areas has already been developed by the extraordinary races living in the underground cities and various forces on the surface.

And in those dungeons, traces of the abyssal beasts bred by the Spider Queen Lolth have already appeared.

Many dungeon city-states were caught off guard and directly breached by abyssal monsters, disappearing from the dungeons.

The remaining city-states are also struggling to hold them off, and the situation is quite dire.

Furthermore, the Church of the Gods' investigation revealed that these abyssal beasts, guided by dark elves, have already developed characteristics of group behavior.

This is somewhat different from the situation in the dungeons of the Pan-Continental Mage Association territory.

However, the abyssal beasts that appeared in those underground cities showed no signs of attacking the surface; instead, they continued to clean up various parts of the underground cities.

The Church of the Gods speculates that the Dark Elves were guiding them to eliminate hostile forces in the dungeon as much as possible, and to remove the Church of the Gods' various strongholds in the dungeon.

However, there is not without good news.

Apart from the existing dungeons, there have been no instances of abyssal monsters appearing in the newly appeared dungeons.

This likely indicates that these dungeons were not yet fully formed and were not connected to Lolth's Abyssal Dimension, the "Deep Pit Web."

Below Li Si, the newly emerged underground city of the Kingdom of Ruis is a case in point.

After the Kingdom of Fez annexed the Kingdom of Bertic, the Kingdom of Ruiz became a neighboring country of the Kingdom of Fez.

Now, this newly emerged underground city poses a considerable threat to the already weak Kingdom of Ruis.

Let alone legendary powerhouses, the Kingdom of Ruis doesn't even have many high-level gold-tier professionals.

The Kingdom of Ruis is simply no match for the impending attack of the abyssal monsters.

After being informed by the Church of the Gods and the Kingdom of Fez, the Kingdom of Ruis also expressed its attitude quite directly.

I'm completely backing down and fully support this!
Below Li Si, members of the Church of the Gods were already investigating the situation in this underground city, while the people of the Kingdom of Ruis were building various defensive fortifications around the entrance to the underground city.

Li Si knew very well that these defensive fortifications were insufficient to stop the attack of those abyssal monsters.

It should be noted that even with the Pan-Continental Mage Association's preparations, they were unable to withstand the abyssal beasts' attack in a short time, and their defensive line retreated a considerable distance.

Of course, that was also because the Pan-Continental Mage Association had not anticipated the strength of the Abyss Beasts.

But this is enough to prove the terrifying nature of the abyssal monster horde's attack.

Without alerting anyone, Li Si led Taiya directly from the air into the entrance of the underground city.

Before their eyes, the underground city seemed to have suddenly torn itself out from the depths of the earth, carrying a mysterious and primal aura.

The underground passage was so narrow it resembled a winding snake path, allowing only one person to pass sideways.

The walls on both sides were made of rough and irregularly piled boulders. The mottled marks on the surface of the boulders appeared somewhat eerie under the light spell cast by Li Si.

The passageway is low at the top, with sharp stalagmites hanging down from time to time, as if they might pierce the head of any intruder at any moment.

Surprisingly, Li Si was able to sense that the underground city was not static.

It is expanding at an extremely slow but undeniable pace!

Li Si could clearly feel the ground beneath his feet trembling slightly, a sensation like the breath of a sleeping behemoth, subtle yet containing boundless power.

The walls on both sides of the passage were also slowly moving outwards, each slight movement accompanied by the dull sound of stones rubbing against each other, as if the underground city was whispering about its growth.

Li Si closed his eyes and focused his mind on perceiving every part of the underground city.

Instantly, an extremely dense magical power surged towards him like a raging tide, almost drowning him.

This magic was so powerful and so pure that Li Si had never experienced it before.

Do not!
It should be said that it is somewhat similar to the power that Li Si once felt in the core of the Gaia world, in the space where the World Tree Yggdrasil was located.

He could feel that this magic was like an invisible river, flowing and weaving through every corner of the underground city.

A portion of the magic power is being continuously consumed in the expansion of the dungeon.

Like a diligent craftsman, magic propelled the giant stones, widening the passageways and allowing the underground city to extend outwards continuously, as if building a vast kingdom of its own.

Each surge of magic is accompanied by subtle changes in the dungeon's structure, with new dungeon passages and areas gradually taking shape under the nourishment of magic.

The other part of the magic, as if it had found its home, slowly settled in various corners of the dungeon.

Like fine grains of sand, they gradually accumulate over time, forming magical crystals that are difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Li Si felt that this was a sign of the gathering of precious magical minerals, which was also the greatest value of the dungeon.

However, these magical mineral deposits require a considerable amount of time to settle and transform before they can take shape.

It is impossible to mine it, at least in the short term.

Soon, relying on his keen perception of magic, Li Si ventured deeper and deeper, finally reaching the deepest part of the underground city.

In Li Si's perception, the light here grew increasingly dim, filled with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Suddenly, an extremely evil and profound power, like an icy tide, instantly enveloped his mental energy.

This force is cold, putrid, and carries endless malice, as if it wants to devour all the light and hope in the world.

Li Si trembled all over, realizing clearly that it was a power originating from the endless abyss!
This force twisted and turned wildly, trying to erode and corrupt Li Si's consciousness!
How cruel!

Li Si instantly understood what was happening and, without hesitation, severed the connection with that strand of spiritual power.
