Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

"Boom—!"

The thick, poisonous miasma overhead was suddenly torn apart by a violent current of air.

A massive shadow instantly enveloped the entire defensive position.

Chen Shan was still kneeling on the ground, clutching the iron pot that had fallen to the ground tightly in his hand.

Zhang Ming's cracked glasses slipped completely down to the tip of his nose.

Li Huo'er held her head, staring blankly at the sky.

Under the gazes of forty-nine people, as if they were looking at God.

The [Dragon Slayer Portable Airship], with its ferocious mechanical dragon head and exuding an epic aura, hovered slowly ten meters above the battlefield, its still-burning dark blue tail flames trailing behind it.

Su Chen stood at the edge of the deck, looking down at the area below.

His gaze swept over the colorful makeshift tents, the bubbling broth on the magic stove, and the scattered playing cards.

Su Chen's eye twitched slightly.

"Whoosh."

He leaped off the deck and landed steadily on the black mud.

At the same time, he snapped his fingers, and the huge airship in mid-air instantly turned into a purple light, shrank into a palm-sized metal capsule, and flew back into his backpack.

"I told you to wait here."

Su Chen stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at the group of stunned senior students, his tone somewhat speechless.

"We didn't let you set up camp here and live your lives."

"Hurry up and pack your things, let's go."

Su Chen's words broke the deathly silence in the battleground.

"Huh? Oh! Right, right, right! Let's get ready!"

Zhang Ming suddenly jolted awake and scrambled to dismantle his tent.

Chen Shan hurriedly stuffed the playing cards and iron pot on the ground into his backpack, not even bothering to wipe up the meat soup that had fallen on the ground.

While putting away the magic furnace, the assassin-type beauty secretly sized up Su Chen with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.

"Su... Su Shen..."

Li Huo'er swallowed hard, her voice trembling, "All four nodes... have they all been dismantled?"

"What else? Is the system notification fake?"

Su Chen replied irritably.

"No... this is way too fast..."

A knight stammered, "A thirty-hour mission, and you haven't even used an hour..."

"It's just that it runs the map quickly."

Su Chen was too lazy to explain to them. He turned around and looked towards the center of the inner city.

There, the black pillar of light that had once enveloped the entire royal city had disappeared, replaced by a huge teleportation array emitting a ghostly blue light.

"Stop talking nonsense and keep up."

Su Chen strode out of the area where the barrier had been dispelled and stepped into the depths of the ruins.

The forty-nine people immediately followed closely behind, like startled ducks.

They didn't even care about the old general NPC who was barely clinging to life; all they could think about was "quickly clearing the game, getting the recommendation letter, and leaving."

The straight-line distance from the defensive position to the portal to the central royal city is about ten kilometers.

This road is still teeming with high-level demonized monsters.

"roar!"

Just two streets away, a group of level 50+ [Demonized Royal Guards] rushed out of the collapsed building, their rusty heavy swords gleaming coldly.

Su Chen didn't even glance at it, and casually threw out a fireball.

"boom!"

The fireball exploded in the midst of the monster horde, the immense impact instantly turning this group of elite monsters, each possessing tens of thousands of physical strength, into vapor.

[Successfully defeated the level 55 elite monster, Demonized Royal Guard, gaining 2200 experience!]

The system notification popping up on his retina made Su Chen abruptly stop in his tracks.

He glanced at the barely perceptible increase in the experience bar and pursed his lips.

Last time I soloed it, a level 55 elite monster was quite rewarding.

Now, fifty people are splitting it equally... calling it a mosquito's leg is an exaggeration!

Su Chen mentally ranted and complained.

He completely lost interest in fighting the monsters.

"accelerate."

Su Chen coldly uttered two words.

The next half hour felt like an absurd forced march for the forty-nine business owners.

Su Chen walked at the very front, moving at an extremely fast speed.

Any monster that dares to block his path, whether it's a regular monster, an elite monster, or even the occasional gold-level mini-boss, Su Chen can instantly kill them all with a single fireball or by summoning a few [Corrosive Serpent Guards].

Billions of real damage figures were being displayed on the screen like they were free.

"Hurry! Keep up! Don't fall behind!"

Chen Shan, holding the tower shield, ran breathlessly.

His berserker, with over three thousand strength, was struggling to keep up with Su Chen's pace under the suppression of a 20% reduction in all attributes.

"This damage...this efficiency..."

As Zhang Ming ran, he watched the horde of monsters being continuously evaporated ahead, feeling numb to the sight.

"I feel like we're not playing a catastrophic dungeon, but rather a simulator called 'Follow Su Shen in Parkour'."

Li Huo'er was also panting heavily, her chest heaving: "He seems... completely uninterested in his experience with these monsters?"

"nonsense!"

The assassin rolled his eyes. "Fifty people sharing experience, would you be willing to fight like that? Didn't you see he didn't even pick up the gold coins on the ground? This is purely for getting somewhere!"

After half an hour.

The forced march finally came to a stop.

A massive teleportation array, tens of meters high and made of dark blue crystal, appeared before everyone.

The ground around the magic circle was covered with ancient and complex runes.

Although the poisonous miasma in the abyss was still dense, the faint light emitted by these runes forcibly repelled the miasma from the magic array.

[Central Royal City Teleportation Portal (Activated)]

Su Chen stopped and looked back at the group of soon-to-be graduates who were exhausted like dead dogs.

"After entering, the monster's attributes will increase dramatically."

Su Chen's tone remained completely flat.

"Once inside, form a defensive formation, don't wander off, and don't draw aggro."

After saying that, he stepped into the dark blue teleportation screen without hesitation.

His figure vanished instantly.

Forty-nine people stood outside the teleportation portal, exchanging glances.

"Attributes skyrocketed..."

Chen Shan's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty.

The monsters in this inner city are terrifying enough; their attributes are all over five digits.

Will the strange attributes within the royal city increase dramatically?!

But after the airship race, the dismantling of four nodes in forty-two minutes, and the lightning-fast push all the way, they were completely outmaneuvered.

Surprisingly, the initial despair and fear they felt had vanished.

"Let's go."

Zhang Ming took a deep breath, pushed up his broken glasses, and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

"Let's go see just how powerful that monster really is!"

Forty-nine people lined up and stepped into the portal one by one.
