Chapter 41: The Stone Coffins In The Naraka Realm

After she finished the carving in the Naraka Realm, Bei Li extracted a default soul from the Artifact Channel. She introduced the settings of an Instance Dungeon Facilitator into a default soul before she left the underworld with Lu Wu.

After reading the comments, he realized that the players were all trying to picture the appearance of the Instance Dungeon. After some contemplation, Lu Wu made an announcement on the main page.

“Game maintenance is complete. The Instance Dungeon has been launched: Naraka Realm. New NPC: Instance Dungeon Facilitator”

[Naraka Realm (Instance Dungeon)]:

The Naraka Realm contains eighteen levels of different settings for players to train and upgrade their levels. Every level has multiple monsters of the highest level and powerful creatures. For more details, please approach the Instance Dungeon Facilitator.

Prerequisite to join Instance Dungeon: Your team should be made up of a minimum of ten players.

After they heard the news, impatient players immediately logged into the game and flooded the Instance Dungeon’s portal.

“Wow. This is a major Instance Dungeon. We can only access it with a ten-player team. Do they have to set such a high requirement for this?”

“Sob. I’m a loner who’s looking for a team to adopt me!”

“Our assassin team is recruiting. Join us, assassins… it’s time to hunt for materials for our class advancement!”

“I can’t believe there is a time limit for the quest. We can only stay in the dungeon for an hour. This is unfair for the clumsy players!”

After the Instance Dungeon Facilitator briefed the players about the Naraka Realm, many players were excited to experience the Naraka Realm for themselves.

At this point, Bei Li had also created a mage character class for herself in order to mix into the crowd.

Bei Li had never been to the Naraka Realm either. Therefore, she was very curious about it and wanted to visit the place, too.

Lu Wu had no reason to stop her. After all, her presence was virtual and she would not be physically threatened.

To strengthen their first attempt, many teams were busy expanding their teams, trying to recruit as many players as possible. That was how Bei Li took the chance to join one of the teams.

Coincidentally, the team she joined was Ye Xue’er’s Association of the Guardian Angels.

Anyone who intended to join the team was required to first join the guild. After she submitted the form, Bei Li’s application was quickly approved and she became one of the members of the guild. She was then assigned to Ye Xue’er’s team.

Being the team leader, Ye Xue’er did the headcount. Once she made sure that there were thirty players, she made an announcement through the guild live chat channel, “Let’s go!”

She reached out to access the Instance Dungeon’s portal, prompting a menu to pop up.

[Instance Dungeons]:

Naraka Realm

There was only one option. Ye Xue’er chose the only option and the entire team felt an abrupt loss of gravity.

According to Bei Li’s settings, for the group transportation, the system would first bring the players to the Artifact Channel. During this entire period, the player’s senses would be shielded. Then, they would be transferred from the artifact to the Instance Dungeon.

This was for the convenience of the players. After all, it would be very slow and troublesome if they were to jump into the passage one after another.

As for where they would be transported to, the system would program it randomly. They would appear at any place depending purely on the players’ luck.

When the players regained their senses, the team realized that their surroundings had undergone a vast change.

The dry land beneath their feet was full of cracks with red molten lava flowing within. Even if their senses were reduced, they could still feel the heat waves charging at them.

“Eighteen levels of Naraka, Level One”

Before long, the words which indicated the players’ location gradually faded away.

“The Naraka Realm looks so realistic. This is so cool!”

The players were astounded by the environment of the Instance Dungeon and the Naraka Realm. There were even players who reached into the cracks to touch the lava before they quickly felt a sharp pang on their arms. Meanwhile, a number appeared above their head, implying the loss of their health.

“Alright. Let’s not touch anything and continue our journey as a team. According to the Instance Dungeon Facilitator, there are many precious materials and treasures in this place. Let’s look carefully and not miss anything.”

Ye Xue’er checked her surroundings before she spoke through the guild live chat.

The team began their exploration.

After ten minutes, a waterfall made of lava appeared before them.

Initially, Ye Xue’er intended to take a detour to bypass the waterfall. However, at this moment, a sharp-eyed player noticed a cave on the left of the waterfall and notified the team via the guild live chat.

Considering that they were here for treasure hunting, Ye Xue’er was rather curious about the cave. Ye Xue’er beckoned the team to follow her as they approached the waterfall.

As they got closer to the waterfall, the temperature continued to increase. Other than the strong berserker, all the mages were losing their health by one point every five seconds.

Fortunately, they had already arrived at the entrance of the cave. Otherwise, they would be too afraid to continue their venture.

Ye Xue’er walked to the side of the cave and popped her head into the cave to scan the place. Realizing that it was impossible for her to see the end of the cave, she beckoned her members over and led the team into the cave.

The cave was close to the lava waterfall. However, the team was surprised to feel absolutely no heat after they entered the cavern.

As they went deeper, they were overwhelmed by extreme cold that sent chills down their spine.

As their vision got increasingly obscured, Ye Xue’er gestured her team to make use of the torch they bought from the shop. In a flash, their surroundings were made bright.

Owing to the burning flames, the chamber appeared eerie and terrifying. The graphical scene caused some of the timid players huddle up together.

As they progressed, they reached the end of the cave and were welcomed by a bend. The team stopped in their tracks.

A gust of sinister wind, which originated from the bend, swamped the players. It was so terrifying that they felt as if there was a monster hiding around the corner.

Ye Xue’er took in a deep breath and walked in front of the team. Likewise, she was afraid. However, as a team leader, her dignity was more important than her life.

After they passed the corner, an empty and extensive room came into their sight. Following their arrival, flames appeared on the rock wall and lit up the entire place.

When the team finally checked out the place, they were all taken aback.

They were at a burial chamber, with dozens of coffins, which were organized neatly, in front of them. The scene brought a great shock to Ye Xue’er and her crew.

Ye Xue’er reassured herself that everything lying before her was not real.

She took in another deep breath and led the team toward the coffins.

When Ye Xue’er reached the center of the room and was about to take a closer look at the coffins, she was startled by a deafening bang. Instantly, her face turned pale as she tried to stop herself from screaming.

She turned to trace the source of the sound, only to realize that it came from her brother, Ye Chen. He was destroying a stone coffin with his greatsword.

“Brother, what are you doing?” Ye Xue’er could not hold back her anger and reprimanded him.

“There must be an inheritance within the coffin, if not a treasure,” Ye Chen replied with a serious answer before he swung the sword once again.

After a brief stun, Ye Xue’er changed her mind. Ye Chen might be right. After all, treasures are always found in hidden places.

Seeing that Ye Xue’er was no longer against Ye Chen’s idea, a few other players were convinced, too. With their staffs, swords, and daggers, they destroyed the coffins, hoping to earn a hidden character class.

The symphony of bangs and thuds left the players breathless. Depressed, they stared at the unyielding stone coffins.

“This is infuriating! They should’ve just installed a switch for this! Do they still want us to play the game? What a poor gaming experience!” Ye Chen ranted.

The other players grimaced as they listened to Ye Chen’s tirade. Did you install a switch on your ancestor’s coffin?

“When I die, I will install a switch on my coffin. Everyone will be able to open and close it with a mere flick,” Ye Chen continued to mumble.

His words left the other players speechless.
