【Blood Curse】 (One of the Forbidden Items exclusive to the Scarlet Zone Dungeon)

  [Description: A seal taining the power of bloodlust, which absorb the blood withiy to reinforce the seal of the Scarlet Zone...]

  Holding the scroll in his hand, Su ughed heartily, "It's true what they say, you find what you're looking for when you least expect it!"

  The Priest, Luo, was equally excited, "Yeah, who would've thought we'd be so lucky to find a Forbidden Item in su obvious pce!"

  Ye smiled calmly, pretending to be rexed, "Luck is also a kind of strength!"

  Only Qing Yan seemed to have sensed something.

  She didn't say anything, just silently gnced back at Lu Ming.

  At this moment, there were two choices.

  Either use the Blood Curse to reinforce the seal of the Scarlet Zohe dungeon, and receive the normal difficulty pletion reward.

  Or e the Blood Curse to increase the dungeon difficulty to elite level.

  "The rewards for each difficulty level in the Scarlet Zone Dungeon increase expoially, but raising the difficulty es with risks."

  "If we fail the difficulty, we'll lose even the rewards from the previous level."

  Before making a decision, Luo analyzed the pros and s.

  Ye , full of fidence, said, "The earlier difficulties were pretty easy, and with our strength, plus ood lu the first stage, I think our luck will hold!"

  "In my opinion, ush fendary, or even nightmare difficulty, without a problem!"

  Thus, with unanimous agreement, Su chose to e the Blood Curse.

  As the scroll in his hand turo ashes and floated into the air.

  The system notification followed.

  [Ding~ The dungeon difficulty has been increased to elite level! Duime has bee! Dungeon monsters have bee and strengthened!]

  At this moment, the task panel showed that the elite difficulty requirement had ged to finding two Forbidden Items within an hour.

  And the task reward ged from "?" to "??".

  Although the specific rewards were unknown, it was clear that their value had doubled.

  With the dungeo, vampires began to respawn from all dires!

  The elite-level vampires were still level 10, but all attributes had increased by a full 30%!

  "e on! Today, let's make a killing!"

  The leading knight, Su, smmed his shield into the ground, releasing a taunt to draw the monsters.

  Ye grabbed his dagger and charged from the side, starting a new round of monster sying!

  At the same time, Lu Ming followed suit.

  On the surface, he tio do nothing, but secretly he was trolling the undead army to sughter oskirts.

  Even though the vampires' strength had increased by 30%, they were still nothing but fodder for the Undead Warriors, who could cut them down with a single sword strike.

  Two hundred Undead Warriors rampaged in all dires!

  In the Scarlet Zone Dungeon, the drop rate for Forbidden Items from killing monsters was extremely low.

  But uhe ruthless sughter by the Undead Warriors, they still mao collect two Forbidden Items: the Holy Sword and the Blood Seal, in just ten minutes.

  As before, Lu Ming had the Undead Warriors pce these two Forbidden Items in spicuous spots oh Ye and Su were bound to take.

  Thus, under Lu Ming's arra, Ye and Suhinking their luck was off the charts, found the Holy Sword and Blood Seal in an uncovered manhole and a toppled trash , respectively!

  ing these two Forbidden Items successfully activated the epic difficulty of the Scarlet Zone Dungeon!

  With the dungeo, the vampire strength increased by 60%, and the requirement was to find three Forbidden Items within an hour.

  Initially, Ye was a bit hesitant, thinking it might be wise to stop early to avoid being too greedy and ending up with nothing.

  But the ease of finding Forbidden Items ier difficulties almost made Ye feel like he was the chosen one!

  15 mio clear normal difficulty!

  22 mio clear elite difficulty!

  28 mio clear epic difficulty!

  33 mio clear legendary difficulty!

  Now, in just forty mihey found all five Forbidden Items and cleared the nightmare difficulty.

  Ye was floating with pride, "The so-called stro dungeon in Sky Abyss in a hundred years, is this it?"

  "The highest difficulty dungeon i Xia's history over the past tury, is this it??"

  At this point, Su, a bit apprehensive, said, "Maybe we should quit while we're ahead; the nightmare difficulty rewards are already quite good."

  Ye , however, was dismissive, "What are the rewards for mere nightmare difficulty worth? The rewards for purgatory difficulty are the most priceless!"

  "That's the infinite growth skill scroll that the Ameris offered ten billion dolrs for!"

  "Ten billion dolrs! Do you know what that means?!"

  Ye 's eyes were filled with endless desire.

  To persuade Luo, Su, Lu Ming, and Qing Yan to reach a sensus with him, Ye said excitedly, "Money is the most beautiful thing in this world! With money, you have everything!"

  "To be ho, a few days ago, I was just a puy looked down upon by everyone!"

  "Sid uo afford treatment, uo buy the food I wao eat or the clothes I wao wear,"

  "My high school roommates would never invite me to their gatherings because they knew I couldn't afford to split the bill with them,"

  "I liked a girl for two years, but I couldn't even afford to take her to a movie!"

  Ye sneered, "Growing up, because I had no money, I was self-scious and endured cold stares!"

  "Here's the fu part! Three years ago, my sister dated a guy who was really good to her, to me, and even took care of my parents! But I didn't like him, I thought he wasn't good enough for my sister! Yet he gave me money, bought me a phone, a puter, clothes, and shoes, and because of him, I finally regained a bit of dignity..."

  At this moment, Lu Ming almost thought Ye had finally e to his senses a remorse.

  But the sed, he realized he was pletely wrong.

  "But he was just poor! That's why I didn't like him, no matter how good he was to my sister or us, he was just a useless waste!"

  Hearing this, Lu Ming ughed.

  In his past life, it wasn't that he had no money.

  It was because all the money he earned ent on the Ye family!

  In five years in Sky Abyss, he had ear least seven ht huhousand, if not a million.

  But his savings never exceeded fifty thousand!

  "No one ever cared about my sacrifices; you all just kept demanding, and after draining me dry, you turned around and called me useless?"

  "How ridiculous..."

  At this moment, Ye tinued, "Moreover, we cleared the earlier stages so easily, we're s! So lucky! With ten billion dolrs within reach, don't you want it?"

  Hearing this, Ye lowered his voice, speaking to Su behind Lu Ming and Qing Yan, "Once we activate purgatory difficulty, let's kill those two and split the ten billion among the three of us, three billion each, don't you want that?"

  With Ye 's words, Su and Luo exged a gnce.

  Clearly, they were tempted too.

  They were just ordinary people who got lucky with a three-star at registration.

  To put it bluntly, they were just rich people's dogs.

  Didn't they also want to live a life of luxury ah?

  So, Su said with determination, "Alright, let's take a gamble!"

  Activating purgatory difficulty required all five people together.

  Fearing that Lu Ming and Qing Yan might ge their minds and not dare to tihe challenge, Ye said to them, "Once we clear purgatory difficulty ahat ten billion dolr skill scroll, we'll sell it and give you two billion each!"

  Lu Ming couldn't have asked for more.

  He preteo be excited, "Sure, sure!"

  Qing Yan also chimed in, "I have no objes."

  Ye sneered inwardly, thinking, "What fools."

  So, each of the five held a Forbidden Item, activating the purgatory difficulty of the dungeon.

  [Ding~ The dungeon difficulty has been increased tatory level! Duime has bee! Dungeon monsters have bee and strengthened!]

  Just as the system notification sounded.

  A fsh of murderous i passed through Ye 's eyes.

  Suddenly.

  Swish!

  He swung the sharp dagger in his hand, ung a surprise atta Lu Ming!

  However, to Ye 's surprise, Lu Ming seemed to have anticipated it, effortlessly dodging the attack with a backward step!

  Ye didn't take it to heart, only slightly surprised, "Quick reflexes, huh?"

  "Too bad, you 't escape."

  As soon as he finished speaking, the knight Su and the priest Luo both showed fierce expressions, drawing their ons against Lu Ming and Qing Yan.

  Ye coldly watched Lu Ming and Qing Yan, sneering, "Did you really think you could walk out of here alive?"

  At this moment, Qing Yan's eyes showed no trace of panistead, there was a hint of schadenfreude.

  "Didn't you notiething?"

  "The earlier stages of this dungeooo easy, weren't they?"

  "Of course, it's because the three of us are strong!" Ye clearly hadn't grasped the meaning behind Qing Yan's words, still arrogant, "Or do you think it's because of you two losers?"

  "Kill them, lest we regret it ter!"

  As he spoke, the knight Su lunged with his spear at Lu Ming and Qing Yan.

  At this moment, Qing Yan suddenly unched an attack.

  Boom!

  Raisiaff, she uedly hit Su with a fireball spell.

  -371!

  The massive damage instantly knocked a k off the health bar of Su, a level 10 sed transition knight!

  The impact sent him stumbling back several steps.

  Seeing this, Ye was taken aback.

  In his shock, he finally noticed that at some point, Qing Yan's whiteboard equipment had been repced with a full set of Bck Iron Equipment!

  At this moment, Ye finally realized something.

  "Damn! She was hidirength?"

  Even Lu Ming was slightly surprised.

  He knew Qing Yan was hidirength, but he hadn't expected her true power to reach this level!

  During the Buried Bone Land grind, the Syer quest, and helping Qing Yan with the sed transition task, Lu Ming had never realized she had such potential.

  "With just Bck Iron Equipment, she couldn't deal this kind of damage."

  "Most likely, her at aptitude is three-star, maybe even four-star!"

  Lu Ming couldn't help but reevaluate Qing Yan.

  Meanwhile, on the field, the knight Su, who had been knocked back by the fireball, was unfazed.

  He snorted, filled with disdain, "So what if you hid your strength? I still see you as an ant!"

  "Did your PE teacher teaath?" Qing Yan smiled pyfully, "I'm not alone, you know!"

  As Qing Yan finished speaking, Su's gaze shifted to Lu Ming beside her.

  With pt, he said, "What, are you saying he hid his strength too?"

  "A mere sewer profession, and a Trickster with only oar aptitude, o hide?"

  "Then show me your full strength!"

  As he spoke, Su activated his three-star talent [Blood Demon Shield], lunging at Lu Ming with his spear!

  Lu Ming stood still, unmoved.

  With a gaze as if looking at a dead man, he quietly watched Su.

  In his eyes, a fsh of killing i appeared.

  The sed.

  Buzz!

  A blood-red soul mark suddenly appeared on Su's chest!

  Just as Su looked down at the mark, w where it came from.

  Swish!

  An Undead Warrior silver armor, with glowing eyes, suddenly appeared in front of Su.

  In a fsh of bdes and swords, Su was decapitated.
