NOVEL NEXT Chapter 77 - 77 The Seal
77 The Seal
“Yay!” Chu Yan raised her arms and shouted, her pretty face full of joy.
Lu Benwei also let out a sigh of relief and landed with Chu Yan.
The people on the ground instantly surrounded the two of them.
“Brother Lu Benwei, you’re so brave!”
“I’m telling you, when you punched the monster, I was so delighted.”
“We were able to survive all thanks to you, Lu Benwei. I declare that you’ll be our big brother from now on!
“Same here!”
“Call Lu Benwei big brother when we meet him in the future!”
Lu Benwei did not know whether to laugh or cry. This group of people was at least three or four years older than him.
Lu Benwei waved his hand and said humbly, “Everyone’s too serious. Everyone contributed to fighting the monsters. How can I take all the credit?”
Just as he finished speaking, the system’s warning tone immediately followed.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission of killing the young master Flame Monster.]
[The reward will be released soon.]
Seeing this, Lu Benwei immediately left the crowd and found a slightly more remote corner.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a rare skill: Myriad Thunder Skill]
“Chi…”
Lu Benwei heard a strange sound, and then he was enlightened. A strange voice filled with power entered his mind.
Lu Benwei soon noticed that there was a new skill called Myriad Thunder Skill in his skill bar and was immediately overjoyed.
[Myriad Thunder Skill]
[Transcendence skill]
[Effect: Able to cast a huge lightning formation, dealing 300 percent lightning damage to targets within the formation.]
Lu Benwei was overjoyed when he saw the skill description.
A transcendent-grade skill was far superior to an epic-grade or legendary-grade skill. It was a peerless treasure that could only be encountered but not sought.
Lu Benwei carefully read the detailed introduction of Myriad Thunder Skill. It could use the center target as the origin point with a radius of 50 meters. All targets within range will be struck by powerful lightning.
“It could cover a large area…” Lu Benwei sucked in a cold breath. “Furthermore, the range and damage can be increased with proficiency. As expected of a transcendent skill.”
Suddenly, Lu Benwei was startled as he felt someone approaching from behind. When he turned around, he found that Hai Yue was right behind him.
“What’s the matter, Miss Hai Yue?” Lu Benwei asked politely.
After a day and night of battle, everyone was in a sorry state, and Hai Yue was no exception. The sleeves of her clothes were torn apart, revealing her skin that was as white as lotus roots. Although her face had been blackened by the smoke, her eyes were still shining, bright and beautiful.
Hai Yue covered her chest with one hand and stammered as if she wanted to say something. Finally, she said, “Lu Benwei, does your team still accept people?”
“Miss Hai Yue, what do you mean by this?” Lu Benwei was a little confused.
After he finished speaking, he heard Hai Yue sigh deeply.
“Hai Yue’s team only exists in name now. There are only three people left…” When Hai Yue said this, she was filled with endless grief.
Hai Yue’s team had been established by her, and she had poured a lot of her blood, sweat, and tears into it. Three days ago, they were still the star battle team of Northwind Mountain, receiving the cheers and love of the people. Now, they had fallen into such a sloppy state.
Lu Benwei sighed in his heart as he patted Hai Yue’s shoulder.
“Where there’s life, there’s hope. We can start all over again.”
Hai Yue shook her head and weakly said, “It’s too tiring to form a new team. I want to join your team.”
Lu Benwei was speechless He really wanted to reject Hai Yue, but he did not know how.
At this moment, Chu Yan suddenly ran over. Without saying anything, he pulled Lu Benwei’s hand and walked in a certain direction.
“You’re here? Everyone, get ready to clean up the battlefield. Let’s hurry up, or else we’ll lose all the good stuff.”
“Oh, okay!”
Lu Benwei was pulled by Chu Yan and looked back at Hai Yue. He was about to open his mouth when Chu Yan blocked his mouth.
“Oh right, a bunch of people wanted to join our team just now, but I rejected them all. If anyone wants to join our team, you must not agree.”
Lu Benwei shrugged and said helplessly, “Alright.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky. Everyone looked toward the source of the loud noise.
Lu Benwei’s face suddenly changed and he stomped his foot.
“Oh no, I forgot about the Absolute Monster Formation.”
Chu Yan was dumbfounded when she heard this and slapped her head.
“No wonder I feel like I’ve forgotten something!”
However, at this moment, a huge energy fluctuation swept over from the main peak. Dust and smoke rolled and rumbled as if ten thousand horses were galloping.
“What do we do now?” Everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
“We can’t go on like this. I’ll try to destroy the formation!”
There was an assassin over level 30 in the group. His speed could be ranked in the top five among them!
“Swift Wind Movement!”
“Let’s go!” the assassin shouted. His body turned into a shadow and he rushed toward the main peak.
“Boom!”
From the sky above the main peak, a demonic flame descended. It was extremely fast and intimidating, instantly enveloping the assassin and turning him to ashes.
Everyone’s heart trembled as they watched, their eyelids twitching. What kind of monster could do this?
Above the main peak, the clouds were torn apart, and the void was shattered. A crack appeared, and countless terrifying ghostly howls of souls gushed out. Vaguely, there seemed to be a red monster claw opening this abyssal gap from the inside.
Some people released their divine senses to probe.
However, as soon as his spiritual will entered the range of the main peak, his body immediately stiffened, and his eyes turned white as he fell to the ground, trembling.
What a terrifying power. Even probing was taboo.
Someone’s body could not stop trembling even though he did not do anything. He cried out, “Why are you still standing there? Let’s run for our lives. When the true monster king comes out, we won’t even be left with dregs.”
With that, the man turned around and ran. When everyone saw this, they immediately turned and ran. There was only one person who remained unmoved.
“Annoying fellow, what are you doing?” Chu Yan asked.
“I’m going to destroy the formation!” Lu Benwei said in a deep voice.
“What did you just say? Are you crazy?”
Many people stopped in their tracks and asked in disbelief.
“Brother Lu Benwei, don’t do it. There’s still a chance of survival if you escape now.” They began to persuade him.
“That’s right, little brother. You saw it just now. With just a single exchange, that big brother assassin was turned into ashes.”
“Everyone knows that you’re extraordinary, but the monster sealed there is a hundred times stronger than the Flame Monster. If you go, you’ll just be throwing your life away!”
