Chapter 51

“We’re here. This should be where the third leader is located,” Chu Ge said as he pointed to the cell house.

The cell house was made of solid bricks and looked sturdy. However, it was not as exquisite as the previous buildings and looked simple and old.

The two gatekeeper minions at the door immediately went up to attack them but were easily killed.

“After you,” Chu Ge reached out and made a gesture of invitation to let Zhao Befeng in, who did not hold back. He immediately pushed open the door and went in.

There were no monsters inside. It was an empty room.

The cell looked small on the outside but was completely different on the inside. There was even a staircase that went further down. The two of them went down the stairs and arrived at a vast dark dungeon.

They felt their way through the dark. Chu Ge took out a flashlight and looked around. He only saw bloody instruments used for torture hanging on the surrounding walls. He even saw several bodies that had been tortured to death.

But why was there no one there?

A voice that was neither cold nor warm suddenly rang in their ears.

“Hehe, those Four Ghosts of Mount Tai and that loser Wang Xu actually let you guys walk in here. However, it just so happens that I am short of a few materials. Come, come and play with me,” While the voice spoke, a feminine-looking man walked out of the shadow in the darkness.

Chu Ge looked at the name and saw that it was Yi Ruyu (Spider of Interchangeability). There was also a skeleton next to the title. He was indeed the third Boss.

This Yi Ruyu looked very average, with a white face and beautiful eyebrows. At first glance, Chu Ge thought it was a beautiful woman. However, when he looked at the person carefully, Chu Ge noticed that his chest did not protrude outwards, so he was probably a man. This man was wearing white clothes that had blood spots on it. The blood spots formed a plum blossom pattern. This man held a fan in his hand, as he sauntered towards Chu Ge and Zhao Beifeng with a bit of an unpleasant aura.

Then, Zhao Beifeng’s expression changed, “Yi Ruyu? It’s you!”

Chu Ge was a little surprised when he heard this, “Do you know him?”

“I don’t, but I have heard of it. Yi Ruyu is a very mysterious person who is neither male nor female. It is sometimes male and sometimes female. This person is good at disguises, is vicious and cruel, and has done a lot of heartless evil deeds. Many people on the Wulin path want to take this person’s life, but it’s a pity that this person would appear and disappear mysteriously, so it has never been caught. On the contrary, several disciples of famous sects have died at this person’s hands. Even the officials have offered a reward of 520 coins for this person’s head. Who would have thought that it has been hiding here? That’s right, brother Chu, have you accepted the reward task?”

Chu Ge shook his head and thought, “How can I accept the task when the Instance Dungeon hasn’t offered it to me?”

Zhao Beifeng said, “In that case, the head of this Yi Ruyu is mine. When I go to exchange it for the reward, I will give you half, how about it?”

Chu Ge shook his head, “Brother Zhao, you are too kind. I don’t need the reward; this head belongs to you. Let’s count it as an exchange for friendship.”

“Haha, thank you very much.”

Yi Ruyu was not at all happy about Chu Ge and Zhao Beifeng talking about exchanging his head for a reward.

“Hahahaha, please rest assured that since you have fallen into my hands, neither of you will be leaving here.”

With a sudden wave of the folded fan in its hand, two steel needles shot out from the frames of the fan.

Zhao Beifeng hurriedly sidestepped and dodged the attack, while Chu Ge felt a pain in the chest. He had been hit.

“Shit, it hurts a lot!”

He looked down at his chest. A steel needle was inserted into the anti-exploding armor. Luckily, this armor had a strong defense and was around an inch thick. Not all of the needle had gone into his body. Only half an inch had pierced the flesh. Even so, it hurt so much that he grimaced in pain as cold sweat appeared on his body after getting frightened.

“Brother Chu, be careful, this hidden weapon is potent!” On the other side, Zhao Beifeng shouted as he fought with Yi Ruyu. The Wild Wind Saber Technique chopped left and right, but not a single swing hit the target. Yi Ruyu’s body moved swiftly like a white ghost. Also, Yi Ruyu’s technique was vicious. Not only was it a melee, but needles were also shot out of the fan from time to time. Zhao Beifeng was forced into a disadvantage time and again.

Zhao Beifeng suddenly made a muffled humming sound. It seemed like he was shot. Although the steel needle was invisible and extremely difficult to avoid, fortunately, the damage was not severe.

Chu Ge thought that he also had a hidden weapon. He aimed with his bow and arrow for a long time, but could not keep up with the speed, so he could only put it away. Then, he shot out a fireball.

Although this flame missile could adjust its direction through Chu Ge’s mind, it could not 100% lock onto the target like within the game. Chu Ge fired two fireballs in a row, but Yi Ruyu dodged both of them.

The white shadow suddenly stopped moving and said with mockery, “Little brother, this technique of yours is interesting. However, the speed is too slow. If you want to hit me, it is still not good enough.”

Chu Ge suddenly became overjoyed, “It’s a good thing that you stopped moving,” he thought. If Yi Ruyu had kept moving, Chu Ge would not have been able to do anything with his low-level technique. However, standing still on the spot made things easier for Chu Ge, as he took out his gun and fired.

Boom! Yi Ruyu’s health was suddenly reduced by 30%.

Its body shook and looked at Chu Ge in disbelief, “What kind of hidden weapon are you using? It’s so overbearing.”

“Hehe, there is something even more overbearing,” With that, Chu Ge was about to fire a second shot when Yi Ruyu’s body shook and dodged the bullet one step ahead. A white shadow flashed left and right, making it impossible for Chu Ge to aim.

“Haha, young man, just now I was careless and got shot by you. Do you think I will be hit twice in a row?”

As the voice spoke, the sound instant got closer to Chu Ge. As the speed was so fast, Chu Ge could only see a white shadow. He quickly fired a shot but hit nothing. Then, the white shadow instantly arrived behind him.

Chu Ge only felt a cold wind coming from behind. He was immediately frightened to the point that his hair had stood on end.

With a clanging sound, the attack was blocked by Zhao Beifeng at the critical moment. With a few swings of his saber, he had forced Yi Ruyu to retreat. However, Zhao Beifeng’s expression had not relaxed, “This enemy is not easy to deal with. How about you and I retreat and give this matter some further thoughts.”

Wasn’t this breaking away from the battle? However, it was fine. If they continued, they might lose.

After agreeing, they turned around and ran. With Zhao Beifeng at the rear, both of them quickly left through the dungeon’s entrance. Yi Ruyu shot out two steel needles, piecing both Zhao Beifeng and Chu Ge. However, Yi Ruyu did not chase after them. It was probably because of the restrictions of the system rules that the Boss was unable to leave the room.

They ran outside the prison house without stopping. Chu Ge shouted while grimacing in pain from pulling out the steel needle, “This Yi Ruyu is so strong.”

Zhao Beifeng also nodded sadly, “There’s not much we can do. This Spider of Interchangeability is quite famous in Jianghu and is obviously not on the same level as the Four Ghosts of Mount Tai, Wang Xu, and the other unknown people. How about let’s forget about this leader, we don’t have to fight it. Let’s go fight Hu Yiba instead.”

“That’s easy for you to say,” Chu Ge thought. Before the battle, this Boss was given to him, whereas beating Hu Yiba meant he wouldn’t get any loot. This battle had to be fought. Chu Ge did not believe that he couldn’t win. However, the dungeon was too dark and narrow. He wasn’t able to display the full power of his bow and arrow, and the fireball.

On the contrary, his combat power was quite shocking when he was in a good location. But, hang on a minute. Earlier, the gas can could not display its full potential outside. This time, wouldn’t it come in handy?

He might as well see this battle to the end. Chu Ge said, “Brother Zhao, don’t worry. Leave it up to me this time.”

With that, he turned around and went into the prison again. He arrived at the top of the stairs that lead to the lower floor. He took out a gas can, unscrewed it, and threw it down. The gas can rolled down the stairs. While standing at the top of the stairs, it was even possible to hear the sound of gas being emitted.

Then the second, third, and four gas cans were thrown down the stairs. Chu Ge also threw in another barrel of gasoline. He waited patiently for a while. Afterward, a flame missile was fired into the dungeon below.

As soon as the fireball was shot, Chu Ge turned around and hid to one side.

Boom! Within the violent explosion, the ground under the two men’s feet trembled. Chu Ge was very confused. If it were in real life, this cell house would have probably collapsed from the impact. However, the space inside the Instance Dungeon seemed like it could not be destroyed, as the cell house had not collapsed.

Zhao Beifeng was dumbfounded. Chu Ge patted the dust on his hands and said, “Okay, let’s go down.”
