Online game: Thunder Tyrant, I have infinite critical hits!

Jiang Yan could accept paying a price to have someone refine pills, but that NPC teacher, the alchemy prodigy, was just too greedy!

Asking for a fee for nine out of twelve pills? That's blatant robbery!

In contrast, Jiang Yan would rather pay three [Enhancement Scrolls] to help the alchemy prodigy enhance his alchemy skills to level 6!

Moreover, in this way, if Jiang Yan collects any precious rare flowers and herbs in the future, he can have them directly refined into pills by the alchemy genius, eliminating all middlemen who would profit from the difference!

After ending the chat, Jiang Yan followed behind Xiao Dongxie and continued onward.

The path down the first peak is quite rugged and winding, in order to avoid the strange things around as much as possible!

"Do you know how much I suffered to find this path?" Little Eastern Heretic complained in the team chat while leading the way, "I spent a whole day and night lying in wait like a maggot to slowly explore it. Jiang Taigong, you absolutely have to help me find the way to the third peak, or I'll be at a huge loss!"

Just as Xiao Dongxie was rambling on, a system announcement suddenly sounded:

[Ding! Congratulations to the "Hero" team for achieving the first kill of the Path of the Dead dungeon on Hell difficulty, in 3 hours, 04 minutes and 16 seconds. Team leader: Hero Sword; Team members: Hero Heart, Hero Courage, Hero Warrior; Dark Emperor; Reputation +200; Free Attribute Points +3]

[Ding! Congratulations to the "Hero" team for achieving the first kill of the Path of the Dead dungeon on Hell difficulty, in 3 hours, 04 minutes and 16 seconds. Team leader: Hero Sword; Team members: Hero Heart, Hero Courage, Hero Warrior; Dark Emperor; Reputation +200; Free Attribute Points +3]

……

"Heroic Sword, Dark Emperor?" Jiang Yan frowned upon seeing this system announcement.

Hero Sword is a rising star, currently ranked seventh on the level leaderboard. It's very mysterious, and I never expected it to team up with the Dark Emperor to run a dungeon.

Are they planning to join forces?

Jiang Yan opened the game forum, and sure enough, there were many popular posts discussing this matter.

Jiang Yan read several posts, but they were all completely unhelpful.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Yan decided to ask the woman who brought him trouble.

As the leader of a top-tier guild, the Beauty's connections and intelligence are unmatched by ordinary players.

Soon, the femme fatale replied to Jiang Yan: Hero Sword should be a member of [Hero Tower]. This guild was quietly established by you during your time in the Eastern Ying region, very discreetly! They almost never had any contact with us!

Jiang Yan became even more curious and asked: You didn't plant any spies in the [Hero's Tower]?

Beauty is a curse: [Hero's Tower] never recruits outsiders, so my people can't get in at all.

Not hiring from outside the company?

So they're not developing it?

Or are they a family business that only hires employees from within the company?

While Jiang Yan was pondering, the femme fatale sent another explosive piece of information: [Hero's Tower] is stationed in Yandi City. My people went there to observe. The members of this guild are all young and middle-aged men, and their words and actions... are somewhat like those of people in the military.

That's not surprising. With hundreds of thousands of troops, the [Hero's Tower] really doesn't need to recruit from outside!

and many more!

force?!

Jiang Yan's face flashed with shock and confusion.

Although the country has been strongly supporting "Peak", no matter how much support it provides, it shouldn't be necessary to send troops into the game, right?

Could it be that countries around the world are planning to treat "Peak" as a second world, decide to wage war here, and then use this as a basis for allocating resources in the real world?

Jiang Yan thought it over and over and felt that this was very likely!

So here's the question: Why did [Hero's Tower] invite the Dark Emperor to the dungeon? Is it because their hidden class isn't strong enough?

Or does the [Heroes' Tower] value the identity of the Dark Emperor's Guild Master?

That's not right either. Although the Dark Empire is strong, it's still not as good as the top five T0 guilds!

Jiang Yan was completely baffled, and finally decided to continue asking people, and this time he would ask the person directly!

Jiang Yan opened his friend list, and one of the people there was none other than the Dark Emperor!

This is the friend list that Jiang Yan and the Dark Emperor added when the Dark Emperor challenged Jiang Yan to a duel.

Jiang Yan clicked on the profile picture, only to find that the other party had blocked him!

That son of a bitch, he can't accept defeat!

The competition ended less than a day ago, and you've already blocked me. Please, you were the one who came to challenge me, why are you acting like I bullied you!

Jiang Yan was speechless. He continued to invite friends and then clicked on Darkfire's avatar.

Darkfire is one of the four hall masters of the Dark Empire, a high-ranking member, and a person of good character, worth befriending!

Jiang Yan immediately sent a private message: Brother Darkness, is your guild leader planning to form an alliance by going into a dungeon with people from [Hero's Tower]?

Darkfire replied quickly: I'm not entirely sure either; this must be the president's private matter.

Private matter?

Is the Dark Emperor also connected to the military?

No way. Given this guy's style of cutting ties with himself after a defeat, how could he possibly have any connection with the military?

Jiang Yan was deep in thought when he suddenly heard the little devil's anxious voice: "Grandpa Jiang, hide quickly!!"

hide?

Jiang Yan was startled, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a large purple-furred mink rushing towards him like lightning.

Purple Electric Sable: ...

Health Points: ...

Skill:……………………

Resist the ring of fire!

Almost instinctively, Jiang Yan instantly activated this special skill!

The crimson ripples violently pushed away the purple lightning sable that had rushed towards Jiang Yan like a ghost!

"Chirp chirp!!" The purple lightning sable involuntarily retreated, its scarlet eyes fixed on Jiang Yan without blinking.

Jiang Yan hated being interrupted while he was thinking, so without saying a word, he pulled out [Ice Sorrow]: "Lightning Cinema!!"

Crack!

Brilliant lightning poured out from the staff, striking the Purple Lightning Sable and dealing a series of -5737-5737 damage!

"Chirp!!" The purple electric ferret roared in pain, its shriek piercing the clouds and splitting the metal, making people's eardrums ache!

"Go for it, boss!" Little East Evil immediately went into hiding.

Jiang Yan pressed his advantage, following up with a lightning bolt with a swift flash, which caused the Purple Lightning Sable to scream incessantly.

boom!

Just as Jiang Yan finished using his two skills, the Purple Lightning Sable finally launched a counterattack!

With a flick of its tail, it unleashed a bolt of purple lightning!

The lightning traced a graceful arc before crashing down on Jiang Yan with a deafening roar, dealing an astonishing -2531 damage!

Such high spell damage!

Jiang Yan's expression changed slightly. You should know that his magic defense is as high as 269, but even so, he was hit with 2,500 magic damage!

While moving around, Jiang Yan chanted a skill and simultaneously consumed a low-level Blood Demon Pill (restoring 700 health and mana per second for 5 seconds)!

"Lightning Bolt!" Jiang Yan unleashed the eighteen-meter-long Thunder Blade once more!

"grumble!"

The purple lightning shrike let out a shriek and quickly dodged the lightning blade, circling around Jiang Yan incessantly.

Jiang Yan also spun around quickly, waving his staff at the same time. The lightning blade drew a circle and just barely hit the Purple Lightning Sable before the skill ended, dealing -5737 damage!

Without a 100% critical hit rate, my spell damage isn't enough against high-level monsters... Jiang Yan frowned slightly.

Once a monster's level exceeds 40, its HP often starts at 100,000. Without critical hits and magic damage, it's very difficult for him to kill it one step at a time!
