Chapter 47: Chapter 47: Dungeon Boss, Heavy Hammer Blood Corpse King

"Is this the water that can reduce the infection level by 20?"

Yu Zhun glanced at the infection level floating above his head, which had reached 23. After pondering for a moment, he downed the water in one gulp.

It was indeed crisp, carrying a hint of sweetness.

The infection level receded like the tide, ultimately leaving only 3 points.

"Granny, can I have another glass?" Yu Zhun asked casually.

"Well..." The old woman showed a troubled expression. "Please forgive me, dear guest, but there isn’t much water left in my well..."

Alright, that was expected.

She would pour exactly as many glasses of water as there were people, but if you wanted another drink, she absolutely wouldn’t give it to you.

As for going directly to the well in the backyard to draw water...

Ever heard of invisible walls?

Yu Zhun originally thought he could break the rule by coming alone.

Now it seemed he was overthinking it.

"Alright," Yu Zhun nodded.

"You can sit and rest for a while, dear guest. I need to finish making these clothes. There’s only a little bit left," the old woman said with an apologetic smile. She then sat at the sewing machine, continuing to work on the child’s clothes.

Yu Zhun couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

"Granny, who are you making these clothes for?"

She was the only living person in this city.

"Sigh." The old woman began to softly sob while she worked. "These clothes... they’re for a poor, pitiful child.

"Such a smart and kind child. What did he do wrong?

"Why did they have to kill him? What did he do wrong..."

"Granny?" Yu Zhun couldn’t help but call out to her, but the old woman was already immersed in her own world. She sobbed and repeatedly muttered, "Why did they have to kill him? What did he do wrong..."

Yu Zhun was speechless.

Alright then, it seemed this conversation couldn’t go on.

"Thank you for the water, Granny. I’ll take my leave now."

Yu Zhun stood up, walked out of the shop, and muttered in a low voice.

"If I’m not mistaken, the pitiful child the old woman mentioned should be the one killed by the Boss of this Dungeon."

Through extensive Dungeon exploration, the Hanlong Guild had already pieced together the background story of Bloody City.

A crazy Human Demon who excelled at killing people with a hammer was sent to the gallows by the city’s residents. Right before he died, he cursed everyone in this city. A blood-red mist devoured everything, turning everyone living here into mindless Blood Corpses.

"What a sloppy story."

Yu Zhun shook his head and walked straight across the street toward a shopping mall at the end of the road.

That was the trigger point for the second part of the plot.

Walking into the mall, he repeated his previous actions. Soon, Yu Zhun saw hundreds of EXP bags twisting their bodies and walking toward him.

"Two hundred... another two hundred..." Pushing forward as easily as mowing grass, Yu Zhun paused his footsteps slightly after killing a dozen Blood Corpses.

A Blood Corpse wearing a uniform appeared before his eyes. Its muscles were knotted, and it looked visibly more robust than the other Blood Corpses.

[Guard Captain Blood Corpse (Lv20)]

[Stats:

HP: 30,000

Mana: 800

Physical Attack: 1,500

Magic Attack: 0

Physical Defense: 400

Magic Defense: 400]

The smile on Yu Zhun’s face gradually deepened.

"Hello there, my four hundred EXP."

* * *

After successfully killing all the Blood Corpses in the mall, Yu Zhun walked up the stairs floor by floor and arrived at the top floor.

This was the location of the second clue.

STOMP STOMP STOMP—

Footsteps echoed in the dead silence of the mall’s top floor. A Blood Corpse even more robust than the Guard Captain Blood Corpse slowly walked over, carrying a long club.

[Guard Captain Blood Corpse Leader (Lv25)]

[Stats:

HP: 40,000

Mana: 1,000

Physical Attack: 2,000

Magic Attack: 0

Physical Defense: 500

Magic Defense: 500]

"Holy shit! Two thousand Physical Attack!" Yu Zhun’s body shuddered as he quickly checked his own Physical Defense on his status panel.

"Oh, my Physical Defense is 2,636...

"Never mind then."

[HP -40,000]

Yu Zhun finished off the Guard Captain Blood Corpse Leader with a single strike, then stepped forward, grabbed its shoulders, and shook it vigorously. "Hey, wake up!"

The fallen Guard Captain Blood Corpse Leader reopened its eyes. Those blood-red eyes had already returned to human color. Its expression was filled with remorse, and low murmurs echoed through the empty mall.

"That man was a madman. He even had it in him to kill his own wife.

"In front of everyone...

"One hammer strike... then another...

"We... shouldn’t have judged him.

"We were the ones who made a mistake..."

"What kind of nonsense is that?" Yu Zhun shook his head speechlessly. "A crazy madman who even kills his wife—are you supposed to forgive him?"

The Guard Captain’s eyes had already lost their light; he was unable to give Yu Zhun the answer he wanted.

Yu Zhun bent down and fished out a badge from the breast pocket of the Guard Captain’s uniform.

This was the item needed to leave the Dungeon. Without it, even if he killed the Dungeon Boss at the end, he wouldn’t be able to leave the Bloody City Dungeon.

"Time to go!" Stuffing the badge into his pocket, Yu Zhun turned and left.

"Next stop, the gallows."

Around the gallows located in the center of Bloody City’s largest square, there were hundreds of Blood Corpses moving about.

That was the final plot point of the Dungeon.

"Once I enter the square, I’ll be attacked by all the Blood Corpses immediately," Yu Zhun recalled the key points of the guide as he walked down the mall. "Within five minutes, I need to reduce the number of Blood Corpses as much as possible.

"Because in five minutes, the Boss will descend upon the gallows.

"At that time, all surviving Blood Corpses will go berserk, and the more Blood Corpses that survive, the higher the Boss’s HP will be.

"I need to make this quick!"

Yu Zhun stood outside the boundaries of the square. Looking at the hundreds of wandering Blood Corpses and the dozen or so Guard Captain Blood Corpses mixed among them, he took a deep breath.

Skill: [Swift Step], activated!

Skill: [Sword Dance], activated!

Stomping his foot, Yu Zhun charged into the square and pulled out a megaphone.

"Attention everyone, look at me!

"My name is Yu Zhun, the man who has come to kill you all!"

Skillfully putting away the megaphone, Yu Zhun drew his dagger.

Five minutes later, there wasn’t a single Blood Corpse left standing on the field. Yu Zhun held his dagger and looked in the direction of the gallows.

BOOM BOOM BOOM—

Accompanied by a series of deafening booms, the ground beneath the gallows suddenly shattered. A giant blood-red hand reached out from underground and pressed firmly against the ground, followed immediately by a second one.

Supported by its two hands, a super-massive Blood Corpse, dozens of meters tall, crawled out from the earth and let out an angry roar at Yu Zhun.

[Heavy Hammer Blood Corpse King (Lv25)]

[Stats:

HP: 80,000

Mana: 10,000

Physical Attack: 3,000

Magic Attack: 3,000

Physical Defense: 700

Magic Defense: 700]

[Skill 1 (Encourage): The moment it descends, all Blood Corpses within the area enter a berserk state. Physical Attack, Magic Attack +100%.]

[Skill 2 (Blood Descendant): For every Blood Corpse present within the area, HP +2,000. For every Guard Captain Blood Corpse present within the area, HP +5,000.]

[Skill 3 (Hammer Strike): Bombards the earth with a heavy hammer, dealing dual Physical Attack + Magic Attack damage to all targets within the area.]

Yu Zhun looked up at the gallows resting on top of the Heavy Hammer Blood Corpse King’s head.

"I’ve got to admit, your entrance was pretty badass.

"But your look... is a bit comical!"
