Abyss Walker

Chapter 218 Dragon Abyss, Dragon Crystal

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling returned to the mission hall with the corpse of the Demon Wolf King. Their steps were firm and powerful, and despite the fierce battles they had fought, their eyes still shone with the light of victory.

The wolf king's corpse was huge and heavy, dragging on the ground with a dull thud, attracting the attention of everyone in the hall.

The saleswoman at the counter stared wide-eyed as they dragged in the enormous corpse of the Demon Wolf King, hardly believing her eyes.

She rubbed her eyes, making sure she wasn't dreaming. The scene before her was so shocking that she couldn't accept that it was real for a moment.

"This...this is the Demon Wolf King? You really completed the S++ mission?" the counter lady stammered, her voice filled with undisguised shock.

Her hands trembled slightly as she picked up the pen for recording the mission, ready to document this remarkable feat.

Yun Muhan nodded, his voice calm and firm: "That's right, this is the corpse of the Demon Wolf King. We brought it back as required by the mission."

Dugu Jianling chuckled easily and pushed the Demon Wolf King's corpse to the counter: "Yes, Miss, it seems you can cross this S++ mission off your mission list."

The counter clerk then snapped out of her daze. She quickly examined the wolf king's corpse and confirmed the mission was complete. She exclaimed excitedly, "This is incredible! You are the first adventurers to complete an S++ mission. I'll process your reward immediately."

She quickly took out a large bag of gold coins and several pieces of amethyst that emitted a faint glow from the drawer and handed them to Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling: "This is your reward, including gold coins and amethyst. Also, this is an invitation to the Tianbao Pavilion auction as an extra reward for your heroic act."

Yun Muhan accepted the gold coins and amethyst, knowing these resources were crucial to their upcoming plans. He politely thanked the counter staff, saying, "Thank you very much. We will make good use of these resources." His eyes gleamed with planning and anticipation for the future.

Dugu Jianling accepted the invitation, his eyes sparkling with excitement: "The auction at Tianbao Pavilion sounds very interesting, we will definitely go."

For them, this was not only a symbol of honor, but also an opportunity to acquire valuable resources.

The saleswoman looked at them with an admiring smile: "You are truly heroes. I hope you have a successful auction. If you need any further assistance, please feel free to come to me."

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling counted the gold coins, confirmed the quantity and the authenticity of the amethyst, and then said goodbye to the counter lady.

"The auction is in two days. What mission should I take tomorrow?"

Dugu Jianling: "Couldn't you have chosen something simpler next time?"

"Simple? That doesn't suit my temperament, Yun Muhan. I'll accept the SSS rating tomorrow. It's decided then."

Upon hearing Yun Muhan's words, Dugu Jianling couldn't help but smile wryly: "You really are a handful. An SSS-level mission is even more dangerous than an S++ mission. Are you sure we don't need to rest and prepare?"

Yun Muhan smiled slightly, his eyes revealing an indomitable fighting spirit: "Rest is certainly necessary, but our time is precious and cannot be wasted. Although SSS-level missions are dangerous, the rewards are also more generous. We need more resources to prepare for the auction, and this is also a good opportunity to improve our strength."

Dugu Jianling sighed. He knew that Yun Muhan's mind was not so easily changed: "Alright, since you've made up your mind, I'll go with you. But we need to plan this out properly first. An SSS-level mission is no joke."

The two returned to their hotel room and began discussing their next plan. They decided to rest for the night to recover their physical and spiritual energy, and then go to the mission hall early the next morning to accept an SSS-level mission.

As night deepened, Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling were each cultivating in their respective rooms.

Yun Muhan sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes, and began to circulate his inner energy. A vortex of spiritual energy formed around his body, absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy.

Dugu Jianling was in another room, the sword in his hand emitting a faint light, which grew brighter and brighter as he cultivated.

They all knew that the upcoming tasks would be more difficult than before, and they needed to maintain peak condition. Cultivation was not only a process of restoring physical and spiritual energy, but also an opportunity to improve their strength.

Through cultivation, they bring their minds and bodies to a more harmonious state, preparing themselves for the challenges to come.

The next morning, the two arrived at the mission hall full of energy. Yun Muhan went straight to the counter, his gaze sweeping across the mission board before finally settling on an SSS-level mission—explore the Lost Dragon Abyss and search for the legendary Dragon Crystal.

This mission is not only extremely difficult, but also full of unknowns and dangers; however, the rewards are correspondingly very generous.

Exploring the Lost Dragon Abyss means they will enter an unknown territory and face potential dangers and challenges.

Dragon Crystal is an extremely precious treasure with immense power, capable of greatly enhancing a cultivator's strength. Clearly, this mission is not only an adventure for Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling, but also an opportunity to improve their abilities.

"This is it." Yun Muhan pointed to the quest board and said to Dugu Jianling.

Dugu Jianling glanced at the mission description and frowned slightly: "Dragon Abyss is a dangerous place. It is said to be full of unknown mechanisms and powerful guardian beasts."

Yun Muhan nodded: "That's precisely why its reward is so attractive. Moreover, dragon crystals can be of immeasurable help in improving our strength."

Dugu Jianling was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "Alright, it's settled then. We'll face this challenge together."
