The fact that such a question could be asked already confirms that the other party is not human.

However, the sight of the mysterious woman's horns on her forehead and her long, narrow ears still startled the members of the Purgatory Squad.

This woman is definitely not human.

That……

What exactly is she?

"It seems you're the leader."

The mysterious woman put Ye Qianyu down and turned her gaze to Shen Yi.

Her face was flippant, and her eyes shone with a strong, peculiar light.

"What a surprise, you're actually a necromancer?"

"...What is that?"

Shen Yi seemed to breathe a slight sigh of relief.

Whatever the other party wanted to do, not eliminating the three of them immediately was perhaps the best outcome.

"Oh...you didn't know?"

The mysterious woman licked her lips and extended a finger toward Shen Yi.

Whoosh—

Pfft!!!

Ye Qianyu and Wu Yong stared wide-eyed!

The woman's fingers could actually extend.

Moreover, it pierced Shen Yi's chest!

"asshole!"

Ye Qianyu struggled with all her might, but could only move her head slightly.

"I'm fine."

Shen Yi took a deep breath.

Strangely, when the extended fingers pierced his chest, Shen Yi only felt a slight pain.

It seems that it did not harm itself.

"I see."

The mysterious woman raised an eyebrow and looked at Shen Yi with some surprise.

"It's a pity you haven't even awakened your first time yet..."

Then, she walked over to Shen Yi's side.

He actually leaned closer, sniffing Shen Yi's scent.

Wu Yong was stunned. What the hell was this?

Ye Qianyu's face turned even redder, and she almost ground her teeth to powder!

"You! What...do you want to do!"

The mysterious woman licked her crimson lips. "Hmph... you were the one who took care of those wolf cubs."

Seeing that the woman didn't intend to kill them directly, Shen Yi pondered for a moment and decided to regain some of the initiative.

"I have already answered your question."

Shen Yi said in a deep voice, "Perhaps you can consider answering my question."

What exactly are you?

The mysterious woman looked directly at Shen Yi. "You have courage, but you seem to be very impolite. It's extremely rude of you to ask a question to such a beautiful lady."

"I can't imagine what beautiful lady could use such a bizarre method to restrict my movements."

Despite the crisis, Shen Yi was able to laugh.

"If I have overstepped my bounds, then I can only apologize."

The mysterious woman smiled and said, "I don't dislike your straightforward personality."

"My name is Blazing Flame, the commander of the Third Legion of the Demon Clan."

Demon race?

Shen Yi frowned instantly.

Wu Yong and Ye Qianyu seemed to have mentioned the Demon Realm dungeon before...

Are you referring to this demon race?

In other words, is the woman in front of you a monster in the dungeon?

Shen Yi had never seen such a monster before. To be precise, he had never seen a monster that looked so human and possessed such intelligence.

"Oh? Hearing my name, you seem more puzzled than alarmed."

Flame's smile gradually turned cold. "It seems that the human race has been living too comfortably these past few years."

...

Right now.

Outside the city. Entrance to the [Darklands] instance.

"Newcomer squad, line up! Can't you see the queue? What, you want to go against our Wrathhorn Guild?"

The group of professionals, whose average level hovered around 25, dared not express their anger and lined up as required by the members of the Wrathful Horn Guild.

"Hey, I'm talking to you! Trying to cut in line again? Are you looking for trouble?"

The professional team that was singled out put on ingratiating smiles. "Brother, we're the Fire Chain Team! We have some connections with the Wrathhorn Guild...you see..."

"Nobody can have it." The man waved his hand impatiently. "Don't you understand the rule of first come, first served? Get to the back!"

The squad leader had no choice but to reluctantly join the queue at the back.

But just then...

Buzz—

"What the heck? What... what is this?"

"What happened?"

A sudden commotion erupted at the scene, and all the professionals stared blankly at the dungeon entrance, their faces filled with astonishment.

"What's all the noise about? Are you all in such a hurry to die and be reincarnated?"

The man was somewhat annoyed, "Stop queuing properly and stop fucking wandering around!"

"Captain, you... look at the dungeon entrance!"

Beside the man, a professional shouted, "Something seems off!"

"Um?"

The man frowned and turned to look.

His eyes widened instantly!

The dungeon entrance rapidly expanded, and the emanating pale white light changed dramatically.

The light changed from white to gold, and then to sky blue!

"The instance has changed?"

The man was somewhat puzzled.

The level of a dungeon is determined by the light emanating from its entrance.

The light emanating from a Silver-level dungeon is a faint silvery-white.

The light emanating from the Gold-tier dungeon is a rich, golden yellow.

And this azure color... clearly indicates a platinum-level dungeon!

"Strange, why haven't we received any notification from the Professions Guild?"

The man scratched his head, thought for a moment, and decided to inform his guild about the changes to the instance first.

Let them make a decision later.

The next second.

A jet-black claw suddenly emerged from the dungeon entrance.

He grabbed the man by the throat!

"What……"

The man's eyes widened, and before he could even react, his head exploded like a watermelon that had been smashed on the ground!

A mixture of red and white slurry shot out.

Everyone was stunned.

what happened?

They watched helplessly as such a brutal scene unfolded before their eyes.

But... he couldn't move at all!

After crushing the man's head with its claws, it shook it off.

Then, a figure walked out of the dungeon entrance.

To call it a person... is a bit too strange.

It was entirely black, covered in black scales, and its mouth was clearly not human; when it opened, there were two rows of sharp teeth.

More like a carnivorous marine creature than a human.

"On her first attempt to reverse the dungeon, she managed to break through its restrictions... That girl, Flame, did a great job."

Its voice was somewhat hoarse.

Another figure appeared at the dungeon entrance.

This figure resembles a human, yet possesses entirely different characteristics.

It stepped out of the instance entrance and glanced at the creature it had just seen.

"If Lieyan finds out about what you said, you'll be in for a world of trouble."

"Ha! Why can't I say it? That girl only climbed to a high position because she got the favor of the military commander and relied on her looks!"

"...I don't want to argue with you." The second creature clenched its fist and squinted its eyes to sense its surroundings.

"Sure enough, once we left the dungeon and the restrictions were lifted, my power returned to my body."

The professional from the Angry Horn Guild watched helplessly as his captain was crushed like tofu by the other party.

He began to tremble uncontrollably!

Who are you?

What are you trying to do?!
