Reincarnation Paradise: Passion Leads to Greatest Success

Chapter 217 The Mighty White King

[Hint: You have entered the hidden area: Skull Cave, difficulty increased to LV21.]

The cave walls were blackened by the fire, and the air was filled with the strong smell of roasted meat, mixed with a faint stench of decay.

No more undead emerged from within; only defiant roars continued to emanate from within.

As the ground temperature gradually cooled, he entered the cave with his knife. One hundred Arbiters stood in two rows on either side, guarding against any enemies that might appear.

Beams of lights illuminated the dim environment.

Not far along, the ground began to reveal human skeletons in various states of death. Although they were from a long time ago, the dry, hardened animal skin clothing suggested that they were all natives of the Yasenman tribe.

The exact time of death of these indigenous people is difficult to determine because the black fog indiscriminately corrodes everything within the Black Forest, so a rough judgment can only be made based on the fragility of the bones.

For many years, these Yasseman natives have clearly been trying to stop the spread of the black fog.

I just don't know if there have been any successful cases.

As they progressed, the passage began to branch off into numerous smaller paths, and the Arbiter released an equal number of small reconnaissance units to attempt to find the correct route.

After a meticulous exploration, the Arbiter suffered a significant loss of its nanomaterial inventory due to an ambush by lurking undead, and ultimately...

Multiple routes leading to the same intersection were discovered.

Ten minutes passed, and they still hadn't encountered any undead along the way, but there were constant roars coming from the interconnected passageways.

The number of skeletons on the road was also decreasing rapidly. This phenomenon indicates that the indigenous people of the Asenman tribe encountered a large number of undead during their advance. They pushed forward with their lives on the line until they could no longer move forward and were all wiped out in the Skull Cave.

This cycle has clearly repeated itself many times. In many of the branching paths, the deeper you go, the fewer skeletons you find, and very few people can actually explore to the very end.

This place is like the lair of the undead. All the passages were dug out bit by bit by the undead with their claws and teeth. Even though it is ancient, the traces of digging can still be clearly seen on the stone walls.

Based on his previous research, Fang Yu was convinced that the immortals did not possess any intelligence at all; at the very least, he had not seen any intelligent immortals during his observations.

The undead in this cave are not only intelligent, but also extremely cunning.

If it's just one or two, that's one thing, but if it's all like that, then that proves one thing.

Deep within the cave lurks an undead being of similar leadership level. This being can control mindless undead and is using these cannon fodder to lure him into the deepest part of the cave.

Fang Yu was very curious about what was deep inside the cave that made the other party so fearless.

After walking for half an hour, the scene before me suddenly opened up.

Ahead was a small, flat area about the size of a basketball court. In the center of the flat area was a stone bed about the height of a person, on which lay an old man. A cylindrical beam of light fell straight down from the circular opening above the cave, making the area within two meters around the stone bed the only area with light.

Fang immediately took out his Eye of Detection to examine the old man's information.

The old man on the stone bed gave him an unusually strong sense of threat; the old man had the ability to kill him easily.

[Note: The White King awakens by 5% every hour. Once the awakening rate exceeds 60%, the White King's abilities will be fully awakened.]

Fang calmly flipped through the data to the bottom, finding that the number of skills was 15.

This White King was the first leader-level creature he had ever encountered, and its strength was indeed terrifying. It was a master swordsman at the maximum level, and then there was the bloodline and the huge health attribute bonus of a leader-level creature.

If it were the White King at his peak, killing him would be very easy.

Ironically, he was confident he could defeat even a dominant Bahamut one-on-one, yet he struggled to defeat this leader-level creature in its prime.

The reason is that Bahamut, a top-tier character, is purely a numerical monster, lacking combat intelligence. Therefore, his confidence ultimately stems from the overwhelming superiority of his combat intelligence.

However, although the White King was only a leader-level creature, as an intelligent race, his mastery of swordsmanship was unparalleled. The huge difference in skill alone could affect life and death, not to mention the massive passive attribute bonuses.

But things are different now. The White King is now low on health, so he can win.

"I already know why you came here."

The old man's voice was hoarse and indistinct. He slowly sat up; his skin was pale, and he had no eyebrows, beard, or hair.

Fang Yu stepped forward, holding a black blade, and stopped ten meters away. The judges spread out, half guarding the surroundings and the other half watching the old man's movements.

"Old man, I'm here to stop the black mist from dissipating. Please let me through."

A look of surprise flashed across the old man's pale face. He hadn't expected this little fellow to be so polite, which was quite unusual among the people from the Paradise faction he had ever met.

"Hahaha~".

The old man laughed loudly, then after a while, his laughter subsided and his expression returned to calm.

"It's very simple. The reason why the black mist dissipated was because the source of the black mist lacked energy. Just recharge it."
