Chapter 185 Actually, I am a mage
An agreement?
Moon Arrow paused slightly, and a rare, suspicious blush appeared on her usually icy, beautiful face.
Even someone as aloof as her couldn't help but have the wrong idea for a moment.
The two elite members of Luna's Radiance beside her were bursting with survival instincts, gazing up at the sky at a 45-degree angle.
The "agreement" between the president and the pioneer of the immortal path?
This melon is too big; we're not worthy to eat it!
What to do if you're silenced?
Chen You raised an eyebrow at the strange reactions of these people, but didn't have time to investigate further.
"We agreed that you would help me find the mysterious merchant, and I would take your guild to run a dungeon once."
Chen You's voice was flat and emotionless.
"Consider the last payment a deposit. Now that you've fulfilled the agreement, I naturally need to settle the remaining balance."
So that's what it was!
Moon Arrow instantly regained his usual composure, inwardly cursing himself while letting out a sigh of relief.
The two members behind her also silently turned their heads back, their expressions serious, as if nothing had just happened.
"Of course." Moon Arrow nodded immediately.
She couldn't be happier to have another chance to observe Chen You up close!
Last time at the Tomb of a Thousand Lights, the ground was teeming with undead monsters. Chen You's unpredictable methods nearly drove their guild's analysts bald.
Ultimately, only a vague conclusion was reached—Chen You possessed an absolute talent for suppressing undead creatures.
Although it's terrifying, at least we have a direction.
But what if we switch to a different instance?
Moon Arrow's mind raced, and she proactively asked, "Which dungeon are we going to run? There are two dungeons near Qirui City..."
She was testing the waters; the instance next to Qirui City had absolutely nothing to do with the undead.
"Let's go with the [Ten Thousand Fox Cave] next to Thousand Light City," Chen You said casually.
Ten Thousand Fox Cave!
Moon Arrow's gaze sharpened.
That dungeon, known for its high illusion damage and the Five Elements puzzle mechanic, has given countless teams a headache!
The monsters inside are all fox demons, and have absolutely nothing to do with the undead!
He actually chose this?
Is he trying to prove that he's not only good at suppressing the undead?
Or was this simply a random choice?
"Okay!" Moon Arrow agreed without hesitation.
"I'll arrange for people to come immediately!"
"You have twenty minutes to assemble. See you at the entrance of the Ten Thousand Fox Cave instance."
After Chen You finished speaking, he didn't wait for Yue Zhishi's reply, and rode off on the White Rabbit candy.
Twenty minutes have passed, and there's nothing else to do, so let's go explore the map.
"..."
Moon Arrow stared in the direction he had disappeared, speechless for a long time.
"Guild Master?" the elven mage beside him asked in a low voice.
"Is Moonfall Ki here?" Moon Arrow quickly regained his senses, regaining the competence and authority of a top-tier guild leader.
"I'll go get him right away." The elven mage hurriedly accepted the order and logged off.
……
Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that it was almost time, Chen You used a return scroll to return directly to Thousand Light City, and then ran the dungeon.
Entrance to the Ten Thousand Fox Cave instance.
There weren't many adventurers, and occasionally one would emerge from the dungeon with a gloomy expression.
Since Chen You revealed the basic method of breaking the Five Elements' mutual generation, it has indeed become easier for everyone to reach the final boss's door.
But the problem is, the Queen of Ten Thousand Foxes is not easy to deal with!
The damage, the illusions—it was simply outrageous!
One seductive glance and the tank in the team instantly killed the healer. How are we supposed to fight now?
The Moonfall Baseline people are already waiting here.
He crossed his arms and stared intently at the crimson boundary marker at the dungeon entrance.
[The Destroyer: Chen You]
He also longed to see his name on some kind of boundary marker one day.
"Brother Ji, it's almost time," a team member cautiously reminded him.
Moonfall, regaining his composure, gave his team members a final pre-battle pep talk.
"When the big boss arrives, everyone be alert! He'll handle the damage output, and we'll just cheer him on!"
"Watch carefully, learn diligently, and don't miss a single detail!"
"Understood, Brother Ji!" everyone responded in unison.
Just then, a white streak of light rushed over.
It was Chen You.
He glanced at Moonfall and the group of Moon God's Radiance members behind him, who were on high alert and looked as serious as if they were about to be executed, and spoke calmly.
"Is everyone here?"
"Everyone's here! Boss! Ready to go anytime!"
Moonfallen suddenly stood up straight and sent a team invitation.
"Boss, what are your tactical plans for this trip to the Ten Thousand Fox Cave?"
"Do we need to prepare any special resistance potions? Or are there any positioning tips we should be aware of?"
He had received a direct order from his own chairman to extract as much information as possible.
Chen You glanced at him, his eyes looking at an intern trying to make a good impression.
He uttered two words.
"Need not."
After saying that, he walked straight toward the blood-red boundary marker of the dungeon.
No need to prepare medicine? No need to pay attention to positioning? No need for tactical planning?
Is this even human language?
This is the Cave of Ten Thousand Foxes! There are no undead monsters here!
Their exploration team wiped countless times before they finally figured out the charm skills of the mobs and some of the mechanics of opening doors!
However, Chen You had already turned around and walked into the instance without expression.
"Go!" Yue Luoji hurriedly gave the order.
……
Scene change.
A cloying, sweet scent, a mixture of floral fragrance and the stench of blood, wafted towards us.
"Attention everyone! Stay focused! Main tank, activate Shield Wall, prepare to engage the mob!"
From the miasma to the left and right, three teams of nine alluring fox demons emerged simultaneously.
It has a true body and clones.
Their eyes sparkled, their allure was captivating, and they chanted dizzying incantations.
The pink energy fluctuations spread out like ripples!
"Prepare for purification!" Yue Luoji's heart tightened, and he was about to give the order.
Just then, Chen You made a move.
He did not draw his sword.
He simply raised his right hand slowly, his index and middle fingers joined together, and gently touched the fox demon furthest to his left.
There was no chanting, no spellcasting animation, and no spectacular sound and light effects.
A bolt of purple lightning, about the thickness of a finger, flashed past his fingertip.
laugh.
A sound so faint it was almost imperceptible.
In the distance, the fox demon who was casting an illusion suddenly froze, her charming expression frozen on her face.
A flash of lightning streaked between the three figures.
The next second, their bodies turned into a handful of ashes from the inside out, and were completely dispersed by the wind.
Sold out instantly!
And it was a silent, instant kill!
Moonfall's pupils suddenly contracted, and his mind went blank.
What is this?
Skill?
Before he could react, Chen You's finger traced an elegant arc in the air, pointing in two other directions.
laugh!laugh!
Two more streaks of purple lightning appeared.
The other two groups of fox demons followed in their companions' footsteps and were instantly reduced to ashes.
The entire process takes no more than three seconds.
Moonfall and his elite team members stood motionless in their fighting stances, like a group of puppets frozen in place.
"Keep up."
Chen You's calm voice came as he began to walk deeper into the miasma.
Yue Luoji jolted awake and quickly waved his hand, "Keep up! Keep up with the boss!"
A group of people hurriedly followed, their faces filled with bewilderment and shock.
"Brother Ji... what was that just now?" a team member asked in a low, trembling voice.
"It looks like a mage's skill, but it's not quite the same?"
"How should I know!" Yue Luoji replied irritably, but his heart was in turmoil.
He stared intently at Chen You's retreating figure, his mind racing.
No! Absolutely not!
The last time he saw Chen You wielding a long sword and fighting the skeletal monarch in close combat was at the Tomb of a Thousand Lights!
That swordsmanship, that spirit, it's clearly close combat!
But what is this now?
The ease and composure in his every move are clearly the demeanor of a great master of the legal system!
The journey that followed was a bizarre and fantastical dream for him and the members of Luna's Radiance.
Chen You always walked at the front, his pace neither hurried nor slow.
No monster could get within ten meters of him.
He didn't even turn his head, but simply flicked out a few streaks of lightning.
Precise, efficient, and... elegant.
Little did they know that Chen You was actually trying to hide his true strength.
Otherwise, there would be no need for such a troublesome process of clearing the area with overwhelming force.
The elites of Luna's Radiance went from initial shock to numbness, and finally to... worship.
They completely gave up thinking and simply followed silently behind, like a group of tourists, enjoying this unbelievable "performance".
Seven minutes later.
Finally, we arrived before the final boss, Queen Ten Thousand Foxes.
The alluring and stunningly beautiful Queen of Ten Thousand Foxes had just stood up and was only halfway through her sentence.
A bolt of lightning, as thick as an arm, shot out from Chen You's hand.
Hiss hiss hiss hiss—!
