In order to survive, Gong Qiying, who unfortunately became the lord of the Zion Dungeon, had no choice but to build his dungeon extremely "netherworld-like".

Chapter 789 After Luluwo disappeared.
The land of warriors, the capital.
"The incident of the core leadership members of the Skyrim strategy team mysteriously disappearing in the Sien dungeon has become common knowledge. Let's hear what the members of the Skyrim strategy team have to say about it."
"Captain! Captain Luluwo! Please come back quickly, we can't handle this mission anymore!"
"I believe the captain and the others will be fine. At most, they might have just found a rare area and stayed there a few more days, right?"
"Although the strategy team currently has a lot of backlogged requests, I believe we can hold on until the captain returns."
In front of the Adventurers' Guild in the capital, a projection on a white wooden board was playing a "live" interview with the Skyward Strategy Team, attracting onlookers to stop and watch.
Thanks to the recently booming live streaming technology of image crystals, the Adventurers' Guild is trying to release important messages at the guild in the form of daily videos. The videos are divided into a live stream once a day in the morning and a recorded video that is played on a loop. By placing a Pikachu next to the video playback device, the video can be played continuously throughout the day.
This form of information dissemination is much faster than inquiring in traditional taverns or printing weekly magazines, and it's also more convenient than bulletin boards, since listening to a sound is definitely easier than going over to look.
Therefore, this attempt was quickly well received by adventurers.
Ironically, the disappearance of the core members of the Sky Strategy Team, who propelled the development of live streaming, has become the most concerning "major event" since the start of the live streaming.
Although I already knew that there were many places to kill time in the Sien Dungeon, such as the Painting World, the Painting World, and the Painting World.
At first, people thought Luluvo and the others had simply gone to explore new worlds of painting and didn't take their absence seriously.
However, as time went on, even the most oblivious person noticed something was wrong.
Two weeks have passed already!
No matter how exaggerated the world of the painting is, it's impossible to trap a person for two weeks! That's a long time; even hunger would leave a person weak and powerless. They should have been kicked out of the Sien Dungeon long ago!
So the rest of the Skyrim strategy team started to panic and asked for help everywhere. Their acquaintances in Luluvo also started to help search, the guild also helped a lot, and even the prince contributed by offering a bounty, but so far they have found nothing.
[Where did the SkyCraft strategy team go?] This question has even become a trending topic in Beijing.
Without Luluwo and her friends' consistent and reliable antics, the adventurers suddenly felt a bit bored.
Fortunately, the Soul Eater adventurers seem to have become much more well-behaved lately.
But these two things don't seem to be related, right?
Where did Luluwo and the others go?
In front of the portal to the Sien Dungeon, Leon listened to the broadcast and muttered to himself. The Adventurers' Guild had also set up a projection screen here, equipped with a Power-generating Pokémon called Yamper.
He usually managed to bump into and say hello to the Skyward Strategy Team when he entered the dungeon, so he felt a bit out of sorts when he couldn't see those goofy guys anymore.
Based on Leon's professional expertise, Luluvo and the others certainly didn't die in the Sien Dungeon.
Because of the unique resurrection mechanism of the Sien Dungeon, there is only a very small chance of dying inside and being unable to return. Luluwo and the others couldn't possibly be that unprofessional.
Leon considered many possibilities and finally concluded that:
"Maybe they went to other parts of this continent through the Sien Dungeon!"
Combining the expansion history of the Sien Dungeon with the fact that some people have actually been taken elsewhere by the Sien Dungeon—such as the swordsman Japar who entered Sien in Bed City but came out in Val City—this suggests that the Sien Dungeon has been expanded.
So it's very likely that the truth behind the disappearance of the Skyrim strategy team is that the Sion Dungeon opened a new portal in some godforsaken place, and Luluvo and the others were teleported there and haven't found a way back yet!
Anyway, Leon believed in this conjecture.
The Skybound Strategy Group has now expanded to over a hundred members, making it a large organization among adventurers. It operates by taking on a large number of commissions on a daily basis.
However, with Luluwo's disappearance, the pressure of many high-level requests was suddenly distributed among those with insufficient strength, causing the other members to suffer greatly, and the requests that had not yet been completed piled up.
Out of humanitarian concern, Leon and his companions also went to help several times, turning off the most dangerous requests, which relieved the pressure on the other side.
"Boss, what are we doing today?" Maru appeared out of nowhere and scurried up to him, the two of them looking like a big tree and a sloth.
“Go get some remnants of the silver teardrop,” Leon said matter-of-factly.
"Oh, is it to complete a commission? I drank too much last night, so I don't remember clearly."
“You…” Leon shook his head helplessly, just then Drew’s voice came from behind him.
"It's all in preparation for the campaign against the Blood King. No matter how much we drink, we can't forget our big goal."
"Hehehe." Maru tilted her head and playfully stuck out her tongue.
Defeating the Blood King is the current major goal of the Leon strategy team, or rather, it could be said to be the goal of many strategy teams.
Although Luluvo and the others have disappeared, their legacy continues to spread, such as the [Blood Dynasty Mongwin], which they were the first to discover.
This place, along with the Eternal City of Noklon, is currently a popular exploration destination, attracting many adventurers who come here to prove themselves.
These two maps have something in common: the difficulty of exploring the map in the early stages is moderate, at most a little difficult, but the final boss is extremely challenging!
First there was Lord Monger, who drained the bodily fluids of countless adventurers with a single "zero-zero-zero," and then there was the Imitation Tear, who imitated the King of Elden.
The former had zero successful cases of suppression, and the latter had only two.
Therefore, the strategy teams that have been pursuing the first kill have made Monger their top target, and Leon and his team are no exception.
The item 【Residue of Silver Tear】 can help them avoid a fatal blow, so it has become an essential item for strategy teams when facing bosses like Mongols who are strong and can throw bricks. Unfortunately, the drop rate is too low, and it often takes several days to get one, and the strength is not necessarily high.
Normally, people receive knights from various factions. It's good to be able to get a "torturer" like Giza. If a "blood-word knight" like Hoslau comes along, then people can't help but cheer.
But then again, which boss in the Sien dungeon isn't incredibly strong and powerful?
The Eternal City popularized the Tear-Shaped Imitation, while the Blood Dynasty popularized a combat style called "Bleeding Style," because it was rich in various blood-related weapons, combat techniques, and magic, which were loved by some people.
"Alright, let's get ready to go." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Leon got up and was the first to step into the portal of the Sien Dungeon, with the others following closely behind.
The strategy team entered the dungeon and began their daily routine, as usual.
However, this time was a little different. After they entered the dungeon, the guild image standing next to the portal suddenly changed, quickly switching from a looped pre-recorded video to a live stream, attracting the attention of the people who were still chatting nearby.
"Breaking news! Breaking news!"
The two hosts, a man and a woman with good looks, said with smiles on their faces:
"Based on the initial reports, we can confirm that the Sien Dungeon has opened a new portal in Scammeron!"
"There are new areas, very, very large new areas!"
The scene fell into complete silence, and three seconds later...
"Ooooooo!!!"
"We've found a new place to go!"
"Where is Scammeron again?"
The adventurers were thrilled.
Not only was the Warrior Kingdom bustling with activity, but the neighboring Kingdom of Anor was also experiencing the same thing, and even Reid received the news.
"What are these adventurers up to?"
Inside the capital city of King Anor, outside the church of the Church of Holy Light, a Holy Light Knight passing by frowned deeply as he watched the adventurers cheering and even running home to pack their belongings.
"These guys...they wouldn't be planning to go to Scammeron, would they?"
Coincidentally, these Holy Knights scattered abroad also received orders from the Holy Light Headquarters in Scammeron, requiring them to return to Scammeron as quickly as possible to support the battle, indicating that the war had reached a rather intense stage.
Of course, their purpose in returning was not entirely to provide support. More importantly, the Holy Light Celebration, which takes place every five years, is about to be held. Holding the celebration now is a great way to boost morale, and a large number of people need to attend. These people are going back to show their support.
"I heard that this celebration will be held in the Holy Light Dungeon. How grand!"
The Holy Knight glanced at the adventurers who were excitedly behaving like monkeys and couldn't help but show a look of disgust.
He feared he would be accompanied by a large group of adventurers on his way back to Scammeron.
Just then, an idea that even he found somewhat absurd popped into his mind:
"Won't these adventurers interfere with our battle?"
No, it's not a question of "whether or not".
These guys are definitely going to interfere!
A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and the Holy Knight quickened his pace, rushing towards the church.
"We must tell the bishop immediately!"
————————————
The Holy Light Dungeon has sent you a deathmatch invitation.
reject.
The Holy Light Dungeon has sent you a deathmatch invitation.
reject.
[Holy Light.]
I still refused.
In the Lord's room in the underground city of Sein.
Gong Qiying habitually clicked the "X" to reject the deathmatch request from the Holy Light Dungeon. While he was taking a sip of tea, it popped up again, like a Trojan virus bombarding him with pop-up windows.
However, after being rejected ten times, Holy Light Dungeon stopped responding and no new requests popped up.
Gong Qiying glanced at the city lord's panel and continued to leisurely drink his tea.
Recently, those dungeons have been recklessly sending out deathmatch invitations, which he naturally rejected one by one, giving them no chance to fight at all.
Among these dungeons, the Holy Light Dungeon was rejected by him to the point of tacit agreement.
Every morning, the Holy Light Dungeon would send out deathmatch invitations on time, and then Gong Qiying would click decline.
After repeating this cycle ten times, the other party will calm down, as if nothing happened.
Gong Qiying had a strange feeling about this.
"I feel that the nature of this kind of thing has changed."
What started as a simple battle to the death has turned into something like the opposing city lord's followers sulking.
Gong Qiying had a hunch that the other side had also guessed that he would never accept the invitation to a death match, which was why they were harassing him like clocking in at work every day.
The most compelling evidence is that Holy Light Dungeon has minimized the restrictions on deathmatch.
Once Gong Qiying chooses to accept, there will be no time for preparation, and the two will immediately begin their match!
"This guy has gone mad." That was Gong Qiying's assessment.
But in reality, the followers were not crazy.
He was actually showing himself, demonstrating his sense of responsibility as a top-tier player in the Scammeron dungeon.
Look, he's gone to such lengths to challenge the Sien Dungeon, would any other dungeon dare to do that? Absolutely not, so I still have to be the boss!
Anyway, the Sien Dungeon won't accept it~
"If I accidentally select 'accept' one of these days, wouldn't you be furious?"
Gong Qiying made a sarcastic remark.
Faced with such provocation, he will definitely slip up one day, but not now.
The adventurer who entered the dungeon today was strange. He came in heavily injured, committed suicide once, revived, and immediately ran out again. At first, he didn't quite understand what was going on.
But then I realized that we were at war.
For at least three or four hours now, no adventurers have entered the Sien dungeon again, so it's estimated that the battle has come to an end.
But who will be the victor?
Just as Gong Qiying had this thought, the dungeon gave feedback that adventurers had finally entered.
The crystal ball floated to his face automatically. He waved his hand, and the ball instantly expanded, revealing a magnified image on it.
"There was only one person."
The face that appeared in the video was one he was somewhat familiar with; it was a character who had been on his watchlist before.
Caius entered with several other soldiers.
This person's strength back then left a memorable impression on Gong Qiying, and now it seems that the other party's strength has become slightly stronger than it was that day.
"They are from the Church of Holy Light."
He already guessed who the victor of the war would be, but that didn't matter. He had a plan to deal with both Spark and Holy Light!
"God of Holy Light, your dungeon has come to provoke me, so don't blame me for disturbing your followers."
