Chapter 398: Chapter 274 Black Death Armor

When that earth-shattering presence arrived, Li Qingyan knew the answer in her heart.

After all, having fought wars for more than a decade and clashed with the opponent seven or eight times, Li Qingyan naturally remembered the fluctuations of the Barbarian King’s Origin Qi.

After a brief silence, she said softly:

"Indeed, this presence comes from that Barbarian Strange King."

Upon hearing the confirmation, Xu Yuan’s expression became somewhat strange.

When the Kunwu Mirror shattered, the people within the enveloped area of white light would be indiscriminately transported in a general direction.

In other words, the Barbarian King’s landing spot would indeed be roughly the same as Xu Yuan and the others, but with such long-distance teleportation, even a slight deviation could lead to thousands of miles of error.

Normally, the landing spots would be at least several hundred miles apart, but this Barbarian King also entered this Underground Palace....

Well, it’s likely that this guy is also a chap with a number of miserable fates.

Of course,

it’s also possible that Li Qingyan, being such a big disaster magnet, inadvertently drew the enemy Barbarian King over.

However, this was not only disadvantageous for him and Li Qingyan.

Letting the BOSS fight another BOSS was Xu Yuan’s favorite way to skip classes in the Cangyuan Chronicles.

So the remaining question was whether that Barbarian King, whose forearm was thicker than Xu Yuan’s thigh, could smash through this "Silent Underground Palace."

According to Xu Yuan’s memory, that Barbarian Strange King definitely had the power to break through.

Although only one timeline evolved him into the ultimate BOSS, but that was the ultimate BOSS; with all sorts of abnormal attributes and skills, physically breaking through a level 90 dungeon was a breeze.....

Just as he was thinking,

Li Qingyan’s hoarse voice suddenly interrupted Xu Yuan’s thoughts:

"Prince Consort, the Barbarian King is very likely serious this time; he wouldn’t have encountered that being you mentioned, comparable to Mortal Transcendence, would he..."

Xu Yuan collected his thoughts and turned back to look at Li Qingyan’s eager expression, smiling wistfully:

"Probably not."

Li Qingyan was quick to respond, her eyebrows knitting together:

"There’s more than one Mortal Transcendence specter in this palace?"

"Right."

Xu Yuan nodded, mentally praising her shrewdness.

This princess was indeed a perfect god-tier teammate, aside from being too opinionated.

Xu Yuan patted his slightly disheveled robe and continued:

"There are four specters in this palace comparable to First Grade, recorded in the internal documents of my Prime Minister’s Mansion. As for the Primordial ones... their number is unclear, there are many, many of them."

As a game, it was natural not to face the BOSS upon entering the dungeon right away.

Moreover, if there was only one BOSS in a dungeon, wouldn’t that be a bit disrespectful to the profession of "player"?

In the level 90 outdoor dungeons of Cangyuan Chronicles, let alone regional mini-BOSSes and elite monsters, even the most common small monsters were level 70 or 80.

With this in mind,

Xu Yuan’s gaze suddenly glanced over at the specter that Li Qingyan had casually incinerated just moments earlier.

The strength of that specter wasn’t particularly high; the speed it had shown was roughly comparable to a warrior at the Integration Body level.

In the outside world, this was already considered very strong, and if the administrative officers were negligent, lax in their control, just one such specter could even lead to the fall of a county.

But in the Silent Underground Palace of Cangyuan Chronicles... there were no such low-level creatures.

How could a level 90 dungeon possibly spawn monsters of only level 60?

But thinking about it this way seemed reasonable; after the Silent Underground Palace became reality, its range might have already covered thousands of miles, and such a vast specter nest couldn’t possibly contain only the "big monsters" from his memory.

And while Xu Yuan was pondering, Li Qingyan also fell into silence.

After a while, she suddenly asked:

"Prince Consort, is the information about this palace truly from the Grade A classified documents of your Prime Minister’s Mansion?"

"Hmm?"

Xu Yuan unconsciously uttered a sound of doubt, then without much thought, he retorted, "How so? Apart from the Prime Minister’s Mansion’s Grade A classified documents, does the princess think I have other sources of information?"

Li Qingyan looked at Xu Yuan and suddenly asked:

"If it’s as you said, normal First Grade powerhouses who blunder into this place are most likely gone without a return, unless Chief Lou or the Sword Saint personally come to investigate. But if it were them... there should be no survivors in this palace."

Xuan Yuan sighed inwardly.

Why does this woman have to be so calculating and difficult to deal with?

However, after a brief pause, Xu Yuan already had a plan in mind and casually concocted a story without changing his expression:

"The intelligence from my Prime Minister’s Mansion is not only through the Black Scale Guards; specters are remnants of a calamitous disaster from ten thousand years ago, and many precious ancient texts have recorded them. Then... nevermind, you’ll find out eventually, I’ll just tell you the truth, when my Prime Minister’s Mansion exterminated the Burial Village, we obtained a Soul Ring harboring a ten-thousand-year-old remnant soul. He is very knowledgeable about these specters, and the information here came through him."

Anyway, Old Man Luo was not likely to have a chance to interact with Li Qingyan, so putting this blame on the old man was the most appropriate.

"Is that so....." Li Qingyan pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly in acceptance of Xu Yuan’s answer, then asked with a light laugh, "Well now, we should..."

"Li Qingyan." Xu Yuan suddenly interrupted her.

"Hmm?"

"The last time."

"....."

Li Qingyan’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as a glow gradually emerged in her crimson pupils.

Xu Yuan stepped forward decisively, raising his index finger to firmly press against her chest:

"Li Qingyan, I know a woman like you makes her own decisions about everything, and I know you’re not used to taking orders from others, but you should understand that obedience is a soldier’s duty. Before we head out, I hope you won’t act up in front of me, Xu Changtian."
