"It's obvious that Yuan Hai is not a serious hero." After landing, Yang Jia couldn't help but complain when he saw the surrounding environment.

Not to mention the bloody sacrificial method that turned out to be an accident and the ominous red light when pulling people in, what kind of hero would make his own graveyard so dim, eerie, and full of ghosts howling?

The three of them were now standing in an empty hall, their feet also stepping on a pattern similar to the one they had entered. The walls of the hall were carved with bizarre and terrifying monsters, which looked very scary. Coupled with the howling wind coming from nowhere and the penetrating coldness, it always made people feel that this was not a good place.

And in the four corners, there are passages leading to unknown places.

Compared to Yang Jia's relaxed attitude, the other two remained silent, instead carefully guarding against any enemies around them. It wasn't that Yang Jia wasn't worried, but she knew her own strengths, so she didn't bother.

However, after saying this, seeing that no one responded, she shut up and began to observe the surrounding environment.

Hmm... It feels like I opened a copy.

Seeing the layout of the cave, people couldn't help but wonder, "Is this really a temporary tomb?"

After all, if they were truly searching for a burial site here after a defeat, it's impossible to have such thorough preparations. Hollowing out a mountain to this shape, and then carving reliefs on the walls, clearly wasn't something that could be hastily prepared. And the stone used to build the ancestral hall outside clearly wasn't something that could be found nearby. If it wasn't prepared in advance, where did it come from?

"Of course not." The person who answered him was Li Bai. "After Yuan Hai was defeated, he retreated outside the city in a planned manner. This should be the secret base he prepared long ago."

Yang Jia and Bai Ting both turned to look at her, but Li Bai obviously had no intention of explaining. After saying this, she took a step forward, left the range of the pattern, and walked towards the passage in the lower left corner.

As soon as she left, Bai Ting followed immediately, and Yang Jia had no choice but to follow.

Just as the three of them stepped out of the pattern, a rumbling sound suddenly rang in their ears, and then a group of wild beasts walked out from four passages, five in each group, and pounced towards the three people quickly.

Fortunately, this kind of beast had been seen outside before. It was not big in size and its fighting power was not strong. Not to mention Li Bai and Bai Ting, even Yang Jia himself dared to face one alone with a weapon in hand.

Yang Jia's weapon was a claw she'd ripped off from a previous beast. She hadn't had time to rework it, so she made do with it. At least it was more reliable than her bare hands. She used all her might, finally killing the beast in front of her. She sustained a minor wound on her arm, but it was only a scratch, and a bandage would be enough.

However, the beasts she killed did not look very good. They were covered with messy wounds, and the skin and flesh were probably torn into pieces. Unlike the beasts killed by other people, they would try their best to keep the fur and meat intact, so that they could skin and collect the skin later.

Before Yang Jia could relax, the second beast pounced on her, and she had to continue to face it.

The third, the fourth... Yang Jia couldn't help but turn to look at his other two teammates. Bai Ting, dealing with two beasts alone, seemed a bit overwhelmed. The rest were with Li Bai, but she seemed more relaxed than Yang Jia and Bai Ting. And... maybe it was just Yang Jia's imagination, but she felt that Li Bai had the ability to take down all the beasts in one go, but he just wandered around, not engaging head-on. And then...

Then after Yang Jia and Bai Ting killed the beast in front of them, they released another one.

Yang Jia: “…” So they are training troops?

But she had no complaints. Li Bai had no obligation to take responsibility for their lives. Although he had been hired under duress, he had also provided sufficient benefits. Since she had no choice, Yang Jia also hoped to develop the ability to protect herself. Li Bai's willingness to give her this opportunity to practice was actually a good thing for her. Having something of her own was better than having it yourself. She couldn't always rely on others for protection and help.

However, although she knew this rationally, when Yang Jia was exhausted from fighting and felt that she could not even lift her arms, but had only killed four beasts, she couldn't help but have the idea of giving up. Even if she tried a hundred times harder, she probably couldn't reach the level of Li Bai, right?

As soon as she let out her breath, Yang Jia went limp and lay on the ground, completely exhausted. At this moment, she didn't even think that she was lying with the corpse of a wild animal.

Li Bai turned his head and looked at her.

Yang Jia couldn't help but feel a little guilty, but Li Bai said nothing and turned away again. After that, no more beasts came towards her.

This made Yang Jia feel uncomfortable.

What exactly is the gap between people? This is a profound topic, involving many disciplines, and Yang Jia, a poor student, rarely studies such profound questions. But at this moment, lying on the ground, she felt a surge of unwillingness to admit defeat. She couldn't compare to Li Bai, even if he was a humanoid weapon. But couldn't he even compare to Bai Ting?

It can be seen that Bai Ting is also very hard-working, but she is still persisting. She never thinks that Li Bai will kill all the monsters if she just lies on the ground.

So, with the support of the courage in her heart, Yang Jia slowly climbed up again. During the process of climbing, she felt weak in her hands and feet, and several times she wanted to just continue lying down, but in the end she still stood up.

She wanted to ask Li Bai to give her another beast, but before she could open her mouth, a beast with a wounded body pounced on her.

This time Li Bai didn't look back, but it was as if he had eyes on his back, and the beast came at the right time.

Perhaps because the beast was also injured, although Yang Jia was always shaky, he still held on and killed it after a while.

Yang Jia had originally thought that the little bit of courage she had mustered was about the limit. Killing the beast was enough to show she had done her best. But unexpectedly, the moment the beast fell, she felt a warm current rising from the soles of her feet, spreading through her body, and then reaching the top of her head, soothing her fatigue and infusing her with more strength.

Surrounded by this feeling, Yang Jia felt comfortable at first, but soon realized something was wrong. She discovered that the wound on her arm seemed to have healed. Although the wound was still there, it was no longer bleeding, and her movements were completely unimpeded!

This feeling of being revived with full health and mana... is just like leveling up in a game, restoring all physical data.

what is going on?

At that moment, Yang Jia felt no joy; instead, a surge of panic welled up within her. Until this moment, although she'd known the tour group was treating the trip like a game, she'd dismissed it. Perhaps that's just how rich people like to play. Although she'd experienced things before, she'd refused to dwell on them, perhaps because she was a bystander and didn't have a deep understanding of them.

But now, when she herself was in it and experienced this feeling that was impossible in reality, she could no longer deceive herself that all this was just a misunderstanding or fantasy.

She couldn't help but turn to look at Li Bai and Bai Ting. Was it because of their upgrades that these two had been able to hold on until now? Especially Li Bai. She had killed many people outside before. If upgrades really existed, he would probably be at a very high level now. No wonder he looked so relaxed.

Just as she was thinking, Li Bai's pleasant voice came to her ears, "Don't be distracted."

Then the two beasts rushed towards Yang Jia. Yang Jia was so busy fighting that he had no time to think about it.

When she came into contact with these two beasts, Yang Jia suddenly realized that they were not the same species as the ones she had just killed. She quickly glanced around and found that the beasts around her had indeed changed species and were more numerous.

Did she come out of the passage again while she was distracted? Could it be that this dungeon was still a level-breaking mode with waves of monsters spawning?

These thoughts flashed through Yang Jia's mind for a moment, and soon she was no longer able to care about them. She was caught in a tough fight, and if she wasn't careful, she would get another wound. She could only concentrate on dealing with the enemy in front of her.

An unknown amount of time had passed. Yang Jia was too lazy to count and was only focused on fighting. During this time, she felt a warm current spreading through her body several times, which barely held her up and prevented her from falling down.

So when the view was clear and no more wild beasts pounced on her, she was actually still a little uncomfortable.

Perhaps she had already accepted the new setting during the killing process, so looking at the corpses on the ground didn't make Yang Jia feel uncomfortable at all. She counted the beasts on the ground and found four species in total. If this was really a level-breaking system, then the bosses should appear in the fifth and tenth levels?

Thinking of this, Yang Jia turned to look at Bai Ting, then at Li Bai, and asked, "Is it over?"

"No." Li Bai said, "The big guy is still behind." She still maintained a vigilant posture, without any relaxation.

Yang Jia nodded. So the monsters are really gone, and the boss is next?

Just as Yang Jia was thinking this, he heard another rumbling sound. Then, the ground suddenly shook. The blood from the corpses scattered on the ground all gathered in one place. Then, at the place where the three people had been teleported, a high platform slowly rose. It was enveloped by an eerie red light, making it impossible to see what was inside.

After a while, the shaking stopped, the platform rose to its highest point, and the red light gradually dimmed, revealing the person standing on the platform.

This was a rather dignified middle-aged man, wearing a military uniform that seemed a bit too old-fashioned in Yang Jia's opinion. His clothes were straight, and his leather boots and epaulettes were shining. He held a long sword in his hand and looked down at the three people with an indifferent look and an inexplicable coldness.

The deep baritone voice seemed to ring in everyone's ears.

"Welcome to the Boneyard, my offering."
