Destiny Rekindled

Chapter 272: Unknown Mysterious Race (Two-in-One) [Peripheral Activities Chapter] (Updated on the 29th)
Downstairs in the girls’ dormitory, girls were coming and going up and down the stairs, and there were also many boys looking around, eagerly waiting for the girls they liked.

Everyone's eyes would subconsciously pause for a moment when they passed by a handsome young man standing downstairs, not only because his handsome and clean face seemed to be glowing in the sunshine, which made people admire him, but also because of his identity as a player.

At a certain moment, a smile suddenly appeared on the boy's face, so the boys and girls who were secretly observing him couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat. They followed the boy's gaze to look at the figure coming down the stairs of the dormitory building, with an expression of no surprise.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Lin Yue walked quickly forward, put her hands behind her back, looked at Qin Chuan and spoke with a smile.

"No, I just arrived not long ago." Qin Chuan said, but his eyes fell on the girl's dress, "Why did you change your clothes?"

"The long skirt you wear to class isn't suitable for fighting!" Lin Yue was obviously very satisfied with Qin Chuan's focus. She turned around on the spot, revealing a small part of her round and white thighs as her short skirt flew up. "Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Qin Chuan said sincerely, "I suggest welding it on your body."

"That won't work. What if there are better ones in the future?" Lin Yue's smile deepened. "Let's go to the dungeon strategy area."

Behind the two men, Zheng Xiaoyu looked up at the sky in silence, following closely.

The dungeon strategy area is an area on campus recently set aside by Yanda University specifically for students who want to strategy dungeons.

The purpose of making such a plan is, on the one hand, to avoid unnecessary trouble and problems caused by the sudden disappearance and reappearance of students in the school when entering and exiting the copy, and on the other hand, to cooperate with the work of the special affairs group.

The special affairs group has set up a prop equipment trading point in the dungeon strategy area. Students who successfully complete the dungeon and receive rewards can easily sell their unused rewards. They can also use the special affairs point to purchase some common props offline.

This approach has many advantages, such as facilitating team formation. After a day or two of pilot trials in colleges and universities, the special affairs group is ready to promote it to the entire Yanhuang Country.

Although it has only been planned for a few days, the dungeon strategy area is already very lively.

Many students were holding signs with large characters on them to recruit teammates they wanted, and there were also groups of three or five students chatting with each other. In a corner that looked like a campus supermarket, many students were queuing up; that was the props and equipment trading point for the special affairs group.

Unsurprisingly, the appearance of Qin Chuan and the other two attracted the attention of all the students here.

Without staying for long, the three of them quickly disappeared from the spot.

"The newly appeared S-level copy is being conquered!"

Someone exclaimed, and everyone in the field immediately showed expressions of amazement and yearning.
-

"Step~"

Stepping lightly on the soft grass, Qin Chuan turned his head and nodded to Lin Yue and Zheng Xiaoyu.

Lines of text quickly appeared before their eyes.

[Instance: Beagle Sleeping Plains]

[Instance description: Everyone in Miglu Territory knows that the Sleeping Plain is a place that must not be set foot on, especially for lone travelers. Here, you will never wake up.]

[Dungeon level: S level]

[Horizontal difficulty rating: ★★★]

[Instance bosses: Lost People·Salma, Dream Guardian·Becklandon]

[Dungeon Talent: Sundial (Gold)]

[Title: [Red] Abyss Disaster]

[Minimum strategy requirements for the dungeon: Awakening the Lost People - Salma]

[Dungeon strategy time limit: 58:45:23]

[Abandon this strategy]

【00:00:10】

Looking at the words in front of him, Qin Chuan's expression became strange.

Because the strategy requirement for this copy is not to kill, but to awaken.

He had never encountered a similar situation before, and judging from the transcripts of intelligence compiled by the Special Affairs Group, no one else had encountered it either.

"Awaken?" Lin Yue looked thoughtful. "No matter what, let's find the clues to the dungeon first."

After saying this, she put her palms together, and a dim light enveloped her body.

After a moment, a reminder popped up in front of Qin Chuan.

【Discover the copy clues】

At the same time, a humanoid warrior wearing heavy armor and riding a unicorn appeared in the eyes of the three people from the direction indicated by the first talent of the sundial.

Before the other party arrived, a reminder popped up in front of Qin Chuan again.

【Discover the copy clues】

Following the direction indicated, Qin Chuan saw a kite blown by the wind high in the sky.

Sundial + praying for life, it's just so unreasonable.

Qin Chuan and Lin Yue discovered this yesterday when they were attacking the A-level copy.

As long as Lin Yue adds the second talent of Prayer to herself, during the period when Triple Luck is in effect, the copy clues will approach her in various reasonable and coincidental ways, and the first talent of Sundial will be able to determine the location of the copy clues at the first time.

"That kite." Pointing at the kite in the sky, Qin Chuan walked towards the armored warrior whose strength was at the peak of the epic level.

[Instance Creature: Phantom Guard]

The moment he tore off Cang Xue's gauze dress and threw it at the other party, Qin Chuan had already condensed an ice knife in the extreme cold. On the index finger of his right hand, a pitch-black ring suddenly spewed out black mist, instantly wrapping him and the other party.

Ring of the Abyss, environmental change!
Red title Abyss Disaster, the effect takes effect!
All damage is converted into true damage that ignores defense!
The bright white blade slanted out, cutting the opponent in the [Frost] state into two.

The black fog dissipated and Qin Chuan put away his sword.

The phantom guard turned into colorful spots of light and disappeared, leaving only a colorless crystal in its place.

[Congratulations to the player for discovering the copy clue: Dream Crystal]

On the other side, Lin Yue controlled the strong wind and easily took down the kite flying in the air.

After picking up the kite and taking a look at it, her expression gradually became serious.

"Qin Chuan, look." She handed the kite to Qin Chuan.

[Congratulations to the player for discovering the copy clue: Monologue of the Lost]

As the prompt popped up, Qin Chuan also saw the clear words written by the white kite.

The words quickly transformed into content that he could understand, appearing before his eyes line by line.

[It's over, it's all over]

[The clan leader said, if we are not the winners, we must bear the punishment of failure]

[But I don’t want to accept it]

[We are clearly the side with the greatest advantage]

[We are almost the winner]

[How nice it would be if all this was a dream]

[No, this is all just a dream! ]

The words on the kite ended here, leaving only Qin Chuan with a frown.

He handed the kite to Zheng Xiaoyu, who looked curious, and then looked at Lin Yue, "What do you think these words mean?"

"The previous content is very clear." Lin Yue said softly, "The Lost One should refer to the dungeon boss we want to awaken, the Lost One Salma."

"The other party's tribe 'failed', perhaps they lost in some kind of battle or fight?" Lin Yue showed a thoughtful look, "The only uncertainty is the last two sentences."

"The other party seems to want to escape from reality and is paranoid about everything being fake."

"Of course, it's also possible that the other tribe's defeat was really a false dream."

"I think it's the first one." Zheng Xiaoyu also finished reading the text and said, "If I were in their shoes, I would probably want to escape as well."

"Then let's assume it's the first one for now." Qin Chuan smiled, "Let me first see where the dungeon boss that needs to be awakened is."

Sundial's third talent is activated.

In just a moment, Qin Chuan saw two light spots very close to each other on the map.

It seems that the two dungeon bosses are together. Qin Chuan clicked on the light spot corresponding to the Lost People Salma, and soon saw a beautiful figure lying quietly in the crystal coffin.

It was a girl with a third eye between her eyebrows, delicate features, long pink hair, and wearing a gorgeous long dress.

At this moment, all three of her eyes were closed, her expression was calm but with deep sadness, and there was a tear hanging in the corner of her eye, frozen along with her body.

Qin Chuan's brows gradually furrowed.

He did not sense any trace of powerful aura from the other party.

But at the same time, he couldn't tell what race the other person belonged to.

To date, the total number of copies that humans have completed has reached five digits. By piecing together the background information of each copy, it is easy to understand some of the situations in the other world.

So far, there are only six races that appear in the dungeon.

Moon spirits, half-demons, dwarves, ghosts, crystal tribes and dragon tribes.

They have their own racial characteristics and abilities, and Qin Chuan is sure that he will not make a mistake.

But the Salma in front of him did not belong to any of the six races.

There was no ominous aura around her, so it was impossible that she was a certain race that had been distorted after being affected by the ominous aura.

What's more, she doesn't look like she has anything to do with distortion.

Qin Chuan thought for a moment and turned his gaze to another spot of light.

Backland Guardian.

He was a man with moon-blue skin and long silver-white hair. His face was already very old. He was staring at the coffin in front of him in a trance, and his expression seemed particularly gentle.

Backland obviously noticed Qin Chuan's gaze and glanced at him from a distance, but then immediately looked at Salma lying in the coffin, his eyes full of deep affection.

It seemed that, apart from her lying there, there was nothing else in this world worthy of his attention.

Moon Spirit?

Qin Chuan retracted his gaze and turned to look at the two women, "Let's go."

Although Salma was lying in the coffin, Qin Chuan could feel that she was not dead.

No matter who she is, everything will become clear if we wake her up.

The two women naturally had no objection and followed Qin Chuan's steps, heading quickly towards the direction of the dungeon boss.

But after a moment, Qin Chuan stopped.

"Wait a minute!" His expression suddenly became serious.

“Our position has not moved.”

On the map, the light spot corresponding to his current location did not move at all as he and the two women moved.

They were still there, at the very edge of the sleeping plains of Miguel.

If it weren’t for the mark of the sundial’s third talent, Qin Chuan would not have discovered this at all.

Cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

There are special copies everywhere, which is not simple at all.

"Not moving?" Lin Yue's expression changed slightly, and he moved his hands in the air a few times.

The next moment, her expression became extremely solemn.

"Qin Chuan, we seem to have...all fallen asleep."

"What?" Qin Chuan's pupils shrank.

A sentence from the copy introduction flashed through his mind like lightning.

"You will never wake up here."

"I have a blue title that grants me 20% resistance to illusion-type abilities." Lin Yue said softly, "After wearing this title, I realized that the place we are in right now is illusory and does not really exist."

“But I couldn’t see what was really going on.”

"So... we fell asleep as soon as we came in and entered into a fantasy world?" Qin Chuan's brows frowned instantly.

If the option of [Give up this strategy] was not still on, meaning that they could leave at any time, Qin Chuan would have suspected that there was an ominous aura at work in this copy.

【00:00:09】

At the moment when time stopped, Qin Chuan, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes.

The surrounding scenery has changed dramatically. The soft grass is no longer there, replaced by a dead and desolate plain.

Qin Chuan saw Lin Yue and Zheng Xiaoyu lying beside him. It seemed that because they wore the title of resisting illusions, Lin Yue had a frown on her face while Zheng Xiaoyu was sleeping soundly.

A second passed and the scene returned to the previous state.

There was a hint of helplessness in Qin Chuan's eyes.

Stopping time could make him sober, but it was meaningless.

You can't stop time all the way to the dungeon boss, right?
Apparently, the way to conquer this dungeon is still in this terrifyingly real fantasy.

He couldn't help but look at the colorless crystal in his hand.

If the kite is an information clue, then what is the dream crystal in his hand?

"Let's take it one step at a time." Lin Yue held Qin Chuan's hand and spoke softly.

"Yeah." Qin Chuan nodded, his eyes locked on a phantom guard coming towards him.

The same trick was used again, and the second phantom guard soon died and turned into a colorful light spot.

However, those colorful spots of light did not dissipate, but quickly flew towards the dream crystal in Qin Chuan's hand, giving the originally colorless crystal a hint of extremely light colorful hue.

Qin Chuan and the other two's eyes lit up instantly.

Finally, there is a glimmer of hope.

What will happen if you kill more creatures and let the dream crystal absorb them?

Qin Chuan activated the second talent of the sundial without hesitation.

"Let's go over there!"
-

Qin Chuan's body split into two, and the two Frost Cutting Slashes he slashed out at the same time instantly killed a phantom general who was much stronger than the phantom guards.

A large number of colorful light spots gushed out and merged into the dream crystal, which already had very bright colorful light.

The next moment, the dream crystal seemed to break through a critical state, suddenly bursting into light and emitting a low humming sound.

"Om-"

Qin Chuan, who was holding the dream crystal tightly, felt the emergence of a guiding force for the first time.

"How is it?" Lin Yue asked curiously.

"The dream crystal seems to be guiding me in that direction." Qin Chuan pondered for a moment, pointed in a certain direction, and said, "Let's go."

Right now, this is probably the only way to conquer this dungeon.

Following the guidance of the dream crystal, the three finally came to a sea of ​​flowers.

Countless colorful flowers grow here, swaying gently in the breeze like waves on the sea, and the scent mixed with various flowers refreshes people's spirits.

Lin Yue and Zheng Xiaoyu exclaimed, attracted by the beautiful scene before them.

However, Qin Chuan's gaze first fell on the girl dancing in a gorgeous long dress in the sea of ​​flowers.

The breeze blew away her long pink hair, revealing the girl's smiling eyes and the vertical pupil between her eyebrows.

The colorful eyes have a dreamy and heart-pounding beauty.
