Chapter 35 Breaks Another Record! The Feud Between Centaur! Ladies and gentlemen, halt!
Half an hour later.
Deep in the dark jungle, the giant black cat boss let out a shrill scream, then exploded into a ball of light and collapsed dead.
Qin Xiaoyou stepped out of the void and let out a soft breath.
Then, with bright eyes, he looked at Qin Fang.
Qin Fang smiled and nodded, and then the two looked at the panel.
[Congratulations! Your team has broken the speedrun record for the 'Dark Jungle - Hell' dungeon. Rewards include 5000 experience points, 5000 gold, and one Tier 0 Class Blind Box (Excellent). Your speedrun record will also be recorded for future generations to admire.]
Please decide on your team name, and whether you wish to disclose your personal information such as name, class, and level.
Upon seeing the familiar characters, the two exchanged a smile and began filling them out.
...
Meanwhile, the town outside the bustling Dark Jungle instance was teeming with activity.
Human professionals were calling out to form teams, buying and selling equipment and materials, and so on.
Among them were some Rank 0 centaur professionals who were performing similar operations as their fellow centaurs.
The two are clearly distinct and mostly do not interfere with each other.
However, on the edge of the town, there were still a few centaur professionals. Instead of going into the dungeon, they stood there with cold faces and fierce eyes. Occasionally, human professionals would pass by them and be startled by their gazes.
Fortunately, they remained restrained and did not directly attack the human professionals, but the way they looked at each other as enemies was very unsettling.
Some of the onlookers, looking bewildered, left with furrowed brows, saying, "Are those centaurs out of their minds? Standing there scaring people? What did I ever do to them?"
"I don't know. A few strange centaurs suddenly appeared yesterday, acting like everyone owed them millions of gold coins. I was quite startled yesterday too."
One of his companions seemed to have been here yesterday, and upon hearing this, he couldn't help but chime in with his own complaints.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know..."
None of their companions knew anything about it, but they were clearly annoyed by being watched by the centaurs.
"Huh, you guys didn't know?"
Suddenly someone chimed in, and when they turned around, they saw another team had overheard their conversation.
"You guys know? Bro, tell me, what's going on?"
"Yes, I heard it's related to what happened the day before yesterday."
Someone in that group nodded.
"What happened the day before yesterday?" The group looked bewildered.
Obviously, what happened the day before yesterday caused a great stir in Tieya City, but this is Lingtai City after all, and not everyone in Lingtai City knows about it.
"I've heard that two epic-level professionals have appeared in Ironfang City..."
"The person in the know said in a low voice."
"What?! An epic-level class?!"
Upon hearing the word "epic-level professional," the group was immediately stunned, their eyes widening in disbelief.
Two more?
"What happened?"
Immediately, those who knew the details explained it to those who didn't.
Two human epic-level professionals appeared in Ironfang City. Upon learning of this, the centaurs immediately launched a blockade, intending to find and eliminate the two human geniuses, and even sealed off Rabbit Ben.
Official professionals from Ironfang City intervened, and a fierce conflict ensued between the two sides in Rabbit Town, resulting in casualties on both sides.
In the end, the Lingtai City government also intervened, joining forces with the Tieya City government to fight against the centaurs, and only then was the situation barely brought under control...
"...I heard that the rabbit dungeon in Ironfang City is now monopolized by centaurs, but there are more centaurs in the nearby Tier 0 dungeon. They are obviously not giving up and want to continue searching for those two epic classes."
After the person in the know finished speaking, a low murmur immediately broke out among the group of human professionals.
"Holy crap! My internet went down? How come I only found out about something this big today?"
"Two epic classes? Wow... two people clearing Hell difficulty?"
"So... these centaurs are camped here waiting for those two human epic-level players? Are they afraid they'll come to Lingtai City?"
They were all stunned.
Epic classes are practically legendary to them. Who would have thought two of them would appear in the neighboring Ironfang City?!
"The official combat department has arrived too. Look, over there..."
Someone spoke up, pointing in a direction with their chin. The people around instinctively looked over and, sure enough, saw some professionals wearing Warlord badges on their chests in the town. They weren't actually fighting; they were just observing their surroundings, mainly keeping an eye on the centaurs.
Having learned the full picture, the human professionals immediately sensed an impending storm.
The insider whispered, "I heard that those two human epic-level professionals killed a centaur tier 3 exceptional professional. That person was a member of the 'Holy Light Canyon Knights,' a well-known centaur guild, and the beloved of a powerful centaur... That's why things have become so complicated; they want revenge."
"What? This can't be right, can it? Since those two broke the speedrun record for the Rabbit Hell dungeon, they must only be level 0 professionals, right? Don't tell me they went against three levels and killed a level 3 excellent professional?"
Someone was startled and said in disbelief.
"Yes... So why do centaurs react so strongly when they hear that humans have epic classes? Isn't it because epic classes are too powerful? Once they grow up, they will become the foundation of humanity?"
Instantly, everyone gasped in shock.
Reverse the three realms to slay powerful enemies?
The absolute damage reduction alone reaches 60%!
Especially since the opponent is an excellent class... which is only one tier lower than an epic class!
The various class coefficients are actually very close to those of epic classes.
But he was still killed...
The scene fell silent for a moment, everyone stunned by the terror of the epic class.
After a long while, someone gritted their teeth and said, "Good riddance! The centaurs still have the nerve to talk about revenge? Revenge my ass! Didn't the centaurs start this whole thing? If they hadn't come looking for trouble, none of this would have happened. Now that people are dead, they still want revenge? Go to hell! What, they're allowed to kill my Xia people, but my Xia people aren't allowed to fight back? Bah!"
"Those centaurs are just so domineering... We also suffered heavy losses this time. Several of my classmates' family members died in this war."
As he spoke, the man subconsciously scanned the crowd, then quickly fixed his gaze on a spot and pointed in a direction with his chin: "That's one of my classmates. I heard his brother died in the conflict the day before yesterday."
Everyone instinctively looked over, and then saw a human boy in the crowd not far away, staring at the centaur in the distance with bloodshot and hateful eyes, the hatred in his eyes almost overflowing.
Everyone fell silent.
The hatred between humans and centaurs goes far beyond this.
During the ten-year war, countless humans perished under the iron hooves of the centaurs.
Similarly, a large number of centaurs also died at the hands of humans.
For the sake of the greater good, the two groups are now barely coexisting peacefully.
But everyone knows that they are only barely restraining themselves because neither side is willing to accept a lose-lose situation.
But secretly they were all accumulating their own strength.
One day, a full-scale war will inevitably break out between the two races.
Until... humanity perished.
Or until the centaurs... and other alien races are completely driven from this world.
The human professionals were outraged and furious.
Their gazes toward the centaurs turned hostile.
However, in the end they didn't dare to do much... They were only at level 0, and they couldn't be of much help in this matter at the moment.
Just at this moment.
Suddenly, a dazzling blue light emanated from the entrance to the Dark Jungle instance.
The group of people who were chatting casually subconsciously turned their heads to look.
Even the centaurs turned to look, and then their eyes suddenly narrowed.
A loud, shocking sound rang out.
"Holy crap! The speedrun record for Hell difficulty has been broken!!"
"Record breakers... the park's 'owner' and 'Akira'!"
With a buzz.
The sound was deafening.
Several official human professionals in the town had slightly changed expressions.
"They actually came..."
Then someone noticed that the centaurs were heading towards the dungeon gate.
"Boss, centaurs."
The young man leading the group's expression changed slightly, his eyes darkening. He said in a low voice, "No matter what, this is a human genius. We can't let the centaurs find him. Call for reinforcements. We'll stop them first and prevent them from getting close to the instance."
Soon enough, the centaur race members who hadn't even reached the entrance of the dungeon were stopped halfway by a group of human professionals.
"Gentlemen, please stop."
The centaurs' expressions shifted as they saw dozens of human professionals with badges on their chests partially surrounding them.
One of the centaurs decisively took out his phone and dialed a number.
The call was connected quickly.
"Lingtai City, Dark Jungle!"
With this phone call, the centaur city dozens of kilometers away came to life.
A day later, in a different location, the same thing happened again.
