I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 115, page 1.7, section 32: Lias's Voyage
"Let's leave today. I have a feeling something bad is going to happen." Dao Lin looked at the leaves outside the cave that were still dripping with water droplets, his icy blue eyes momentarily glazed over before suddenly clearing up, and said.

"The storm has just passed; it's not a good time to go out now." Shui Qi rubbed her burning forehead, seemingly feeling dizzy from a fever.

"Are you alright, Shui Qi? You seem a bit off," Ferna asked, frowning with concern.

"I might have a slight fever, but don't worry, I'm more able to keep my head clear in situations like this," Shui Qi shook her head and declined with a light laugh.

Suddenly, Mu Yegui stood up and walked to the cave entrance. Then he turned to look at them and said, "There's a sound."

Lias paused slightly, lowered his eyes, and sat at a distance. His hand, gripping his trouser leg, clenched into a fist, trembling slightly, as if he were extremely afraid. But in the end, the depths of his red eyes were a dark, inscrutable stillness, devoid of any last glimmer of light.

It's already here...

Looks like it's going to have to start all over again...

"Why don't we all go take a look together?" Orsia suggested.

The group walked in the direction Mu Yegui pointed out. Before they even reached the beach, they could see a large sailboat moored there from a distance.

A boy with fiery red, tousled hair and elf ears jumped high off the bow of the sailboat. He didn't look much older than Daolin.

Although I couldn't see the face clearly, I could vaguely sense that the boy's face had some strange patterns drawn on it, obscuring his originally handsome appearance.

He was talking to someone on the sailboat when a group of people came down. The woman in the lead was dressed in sexy clothes and followed by staff carrying microphones and video cameras, seemingly filming her.

Finally, a man and a woman came out. The woman looked somewhat cold and aloof, while the man was approachable, but the arrogance in his eyes betrayed him.

"Lin, is it true that this place is home to excellent prey and is the best hunting ground?" The red-haired boy asked, one hand casually in his pocket, looking at the sexy woman with interest.

Lin nodded, her attitude respectful and her tone sincere, but she kept her head down the whole time, not daring to look directly at the boy.

"Your Highness Zhu Yan, it's true. I've investigated; this is a high-level instance that's been around for five years. Although I don't know why no one knew it was constantly looping the storyline until recently when a player broke in, the fact that a player has reached the fourth stage is unprecedented and likely to remain so—definitely fitting your prey requirements. Would you be willing to put in a good word for me with His Excellency the Duke?"

"If it's really as you say, I'll introduce you. But if you've lied to me, I'll crush your head right now." Zhu Yan narrowed his blood-red eyes, his gaze cold and filled with violent killing intent. He was completely devoid of the true innocence and purity of a young boy, as if he were just an adult in the guise of a boy.

Watching these people from afar, Mu Yegui, with his exceptional hearing, memorized their conversation word for word.

Orsia suddenly began to tremble, clutching her arms. Her face was deathly pale, and she stammered, "How could this be... Why would this lord come here... I was hiding so well..."

Her amber eyes flashed with panic and fear as she looked at Mu Yegui, Shui Qi, Dao Lin, and Felna. Suddenly, she screamed, "It's all your fault! Why did you have to come and destroy my sanctuary! You attracted the host of the Entertainment Kingdom and this great one... No one can survive under this great one's hand... No one... Ahhhhhh!!!"

Although Shui Qi's mind was perfectly clear at the moment, his actions were somewhat sluggish due to the fever. So even though he wanted to cover Orsia's mouth to stop her from screaming and exposing them, he failed because of his sluggish reaction and could only watch helplessly as Orsia let out a high-decibel scream.

The boy walking on the beach suddenly looked up and gazed in the direction of the screams.

"Run!" Daolin shoved Fernana, helping her avoid the sudden attack. 'Clang!' The short sword clashed with the massive scythe, producing a crisp sound. Cold, silver eyes silently watched the boy who, just a second ago, was hundreds of meters away on the beach, and the next second appeared before them, launching a second attack.

His handsome face was marred by a mysterious black totem at the corner of his left eye, but it gave him a strange, eerie charm, like a ghost. His fair, elfin-like pointed ears added to his outstanding and unique aura.

Those blood-red eyes gave off a strange feeling, as if they possessed some mysterious and incredible power, as if they could control other people's thoughts.

"Actually, I didn't have any expectations for this hunt, but I've changed my mind now." The boy, wielding a sickle even larger than himself, moved his hand to end the stalemate with Mu Yegui. He casually slung the sickle over his shoulder and glanced thoughtfully at the others running further and further away behind Mu Yegui.

He suddenly chuckled, his sinister blood-red eyes glancing at Mu Yegui as he exposed her, "You seem to be on my side in this hunt, so why are you suddenly speaking up for those ant-like prey?"

Zhu Yan's words categorized Orseya, Lias, Shui Qi, and others as prey, the targets he would hunt tonight. Mu Yegui was also a hunter like him, so he didn't understand why Mu Yegui was hanging out with those prey.

The so-called prey probably refers to humans, while the hunters are non-humans.

Her cool, silver eyes slowly shifted their gaze to the fair, pointed ears beneath the fiery red bangs, and the next second, as if launching a sudden attack, she grabbed those ears. A soft, sweet voice, tinged with confusion and barely perceptible joy, asked, "Beautiful ears. How did they grow like that?"

Zhu Yan's face suddenly turned bright red. He took several steps back and roared, "I'm going to kill you!"

"Why?" Mu Yegui blinked, puzzled.

"Kill you, kill you, kill you, kill you..." Zhu Yan kept muttering, then raised his huge scythe and slashed at Mu Yegui.

While dodging, Mu Yegui pondered where she had gone wrong, but she had a pretty good idea of ​​one thing: the so-called hunt probably referred to the full moon moment in the Kingdom of the Unbelievable.

As the host of the entertainment kingdom, Lin was responsible for recording this scene. It was impossible for outside NPCs to suddenly appear in "Lias's Voyage". Unless they were like Fish, who disregarded discipline and rules, but obviously they were not.

This group came in a planned and organized manner, meaning they are a copy of the entertainment kingdom.

At this moment, the two instances overlapped.

In fact, this may be an opportunity, since the dungeons overlap, which means the facilities overlap as well.

If the raft is unreliable, then a perfectly intact sailboat must be reliable, so why not steal it during the hunt and use it to escape the island?

Since everything that exists must have a reason, she used unconventional methods to deceive the dungeon and complete the quest in the beginner dungeon, so this time she can use the same method to hijack a ship and escape from the deserted island.

This section slightly reveals some of the foreshadowing from the previous chapter, and will continue to lay the groundwork, gradually revealing itself in the following chapters. If any plot points remain unresolved after the dungeon's conclusion, they will undoubtedly be plot holes in the main storyline.

Lin has appeared before; she's basically a perennial utility character, moved wherever needed.

As for Zhu Yan, you guys guess!
