As the notifications from the system continued to sound, Lin Han, who was running while vomiting, felt a sense of despair wash over him. His main concern now was for the other four; despite the nausea, the strength of Steel Body was still remarkably high.
The news came that as they killed more ferocious beasts, the long-dormant Experience bar finally began to move.
[Level:]
[Experience:]
With no control over his body, Lin Han could only look at the Experience bar for some consolation.
A day later, Chen Huan'er, feeling bored as she stared at her Yi Lan, suddenly exclaimed in surprise. "We’ve completed our mission! The captain and the others are amazing!"
What was originally a three-day task had been completed much sooner than expected, which meant that Shen Long Squad had finished their mission ahead of time. This also meant they would have priority in choosing the next Dungeon.
One should not underestimate this priority choice; from a tactical standpoint, it was incredibly significant. It allowed them to flexibly arrange their strategies in the upcoming Dungeon, naturally increasing their chances of clearing all Dungeons.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no sign of Lin Han and the others returning.
"Why haven’t they come back yet?" Zhou Qingqing asked anxiously. "I remember the captain said the time limit was hours. What if the captain’s time has expired? They might not make it back!"
Zhou Qingqing's words immediately alerted everyone. If that were true, given their speed when they rushed out earlier, they probably wouldn’t make it back to the Dungeon entrance before the competition time ended!
"What should we do? If we go looking for them now, we won’t make it in time!"
The ones left behind were in a panic because if they didn’t exit before time ran out, they would be deemed dead. If that happened, they wouldn’t be able to participate in the Four Nations Tournament and would be eliminated outright.
Unbeknownst to them, Lin Han had finally stopped at the entrance of a cave. Leaning against the rocky entrance with one hand, he gasped for breath as if he might collapse at any moment.
"I swear I’ll never wear these Speedy Slippers again!"
What Lin Han didn't realize was that he could simply stop by wearing down the soles of his shoes. However, even if he knew that, trying to wear down the soles in this muddy swamp would undoubtedly be a strenuous task.
Where was this place? After resting for a moment, Lin Han began to observe his surroundings. Through the mist, he could vaguely see a small stone hill in front of him. After running for a day and a night, this area felt like an endless grassland. The sudden appearance of a small hill seemed quite out of place.
Moreover, without the aid of the Speedy Slippers, Lin Han's movement speed was once again restricted. He could say that he was now no different from an ordinary person, moving at a pace similar to walking. Since he had come this far, he might as well go in and take a look.
It was certainly impossible to go back now; without any guidance, finding a way out of here would be as difficult as climbing to the sky. With that thought in mind, Lin Han summoned the Mie Tian Qi Lin. It wasn't that he didn't want to leave; it was just that the day and night of running had nearly drained him completely.
"Qilin, let's go. Let's see what's inside." The entrance was large enough, at least four meters high; otherwise, the Mie Tian Qi Lin wouldn't have been able to enter at all.
As they stepped into the cave, the light grew dimmer. If it weren't for the flames constantly burning on the Mie Tian Qi Lin's body, it would have been impossible to see anything at all. It was truly strange; even the cave was filled with such thick mist! Knowing that this mist was likely the excrement of fierce beasts, Lin Han found it hard to accept at first.
