Chapter 272: The fallen town

Hearing this, everyone fell silent.

“But…...”

“If the other side were just an ordinary town, we wouldn't say anything. But now that the Dark Tide is approaching, if they don't get promoted in this round, they'll have to re-match with new Dungeon Lords, and everything will start from scratch again.”

“You, Guild Leader, also know how difficult it is for a new town to get promoted…...”

The 480 Adventurers wanted to say more. After all, as members of an excellent town, being suddenly asked to transfer to the weakest new town certainly left them feeling a bit unwilling.

Even if the town had experienced some changes, Feiyun was still an excellent town, not something a new town could compare to.

The Adventurer's Guild Leader waved his hand.

He stopped these guys from continuing, “Anyway, there’s no time left. To save our town, this old man has tried every method, and Lord Xu has already sacrificed so much for us. Are you going to betray his good intentions?”

“Besides…...”

“For a new town to be able to participate in a Dungeon Duel, that already proves they have strength. Perhaps in this evaluation, they will be able to raise their grade and become an ordinary town. That's not something we can be sure of.”

Feiyun’s Dungeon pillar had issues, and the only remaining Lord Xu said he would be swallowed by the darkness.

Therefore, if Feiyun did not retreat to being a new town, in the next stage, their area would be like Deep Sea Town, without any native Dungeons.

Although new towns would be re-matched with new Dungeon Lords, most new Dungeon Lords had little strength, but there would always be some who could make a living, and some who represented IPs.

No matter what, it was better than having nothing.

At least no one would starve to death.

Moreover, during the Dark Tide, towns with a population of less than 10,000 would not be targeted by Dark Creatures, which could avoid many dangers.

The Adventurer's Guild Leader’s expression gradually turned serious.

“Before I made this decision, everyone had already agreed… no matter who the matched opponent was, no matter what kind of Dungeon the other side had, everything depended on fate. Now you say you won’t go? Isn’t that a joke?”

“This…”

The 480 Adventurers heard this and couldn't help but lower their heads.

Yes.

They had indeed agreed to it back then.

To provide a better way out for everyone, Lord Xu continuously participated in 'Dungeon Duels,' clashing with other regions, using this opportunity to massively migrate to more excellent regions.

The advantage of this method was that…

They had the chance to encounter more excellent Dungeon areas. After all, those who actively participated in 'Dungeon Duels' were generally Dungeon Lords with strength, and the areas where such strong Dungeon Lords resided would certainly not be bad.

Even if it wasn't as good as the former Feiyun Town.

It wouldn't be far off.

This was generally acknowledged and the best option for immigrants at the moment. Although they could also use connections to go to nearby towns, that still required connections; without them, they couldn't even get in touch.

Furthermore, the challenger selection process was random.

Relatively speaking, it was also very fair…

Earlier, many people had gone to Level 5, or even Level 6, areas.

Because Lord Xu's battle level was relatively high at the time.

The opponents he matched with would be stronger.

However, after several rounds of failures, Lord Xu's battle level had returned to Lv1.

When the level was low, the matched enemies would naturally be weaker.

But these Adventurers never expected this “weaker” to be as weak as a new town.

Was this weakness not a bit too much?

Previously, others either went to Level 4 or 5 areas, or Level 6 areas.

At worst, it was Level 2 or 3.

Why… when it was finally their turn, was it a Level 1 area?

This left them quite dissatisfied.

They wished they could skip this incident entirely and have Lord Xu restart the 'Dungeon Duel.'

However…

No matter how unwilling they were.

The die was cast.

Their only hope now was that this new town truly had something special.

Feiyun Town, amidst a clamor.

Ended the day.

Across from them, the Adventurers of Tide Town watched them crowded at the Adventurer's Guild entrance, finding it a bit strange, wondering what Feiyun Town was up to.

Compared to the dejected Adventurers of Feiyun Town, Tide Town's day was much more joyful, ending in the fervor of Three Kingdoms Unrivaled.

The next day.

With the appearance of the Void, everyone arrived at the duel grounds.

On Tide Town’s side.

“Brothers, why do I feel like the atmosphere on the other side is a bit off?”

“Indeed, it’s all gloomy.”

“Yesterday, I saw a bunch of people crowded at their Adventurer's Guild entrance. I wonder what they were talking about. Could it be some kind of mobilization, forcing them not to play Lord Chen's Dungeon too much?”

“That’s impossible, right?”

The Adventurers speculated, chattering away.

They came up with a lot of strange conclusions.

They were quite idle now, even having time to worry about other people's affairs.

This Feiyun Town was also strange; everyone seemed to dislike talking. They hadn't communicated with them for so long, which made them itching to show off but with no place to do so.

“Alright, let’s not worry about their business. Let’s look forward to what kind of Dungeon Lord Chen will release this time.”

“Indeed, nothing is as important as this.”

“The Dungeons released in the previous two duels were really good. Whether it was Three Kingdoms Unrivaled or Gluttony Gallery, the quality was excellent. Even a food-themed Dungeon was amazingly made.”

“Let’s look forward to this one too.”

As a few people chatted, the Dungeons of both sides quickly appeared in the middle.

Seeing the Dungeon’s name.

The Adventurers of Tide Town were slightly stunned.

“Hmm?”

“Strange, why is it Resident Evil…?”

“Didn’t he make a new Dungeon this time?”

Logically, this should be a normal thing, as time was so tight; who could make a new Dungeon?

But when it came to Lord Chen.

The Adventurers of Tide Town felt it was a bit abnormal.

Lord Chen, who was said to have no bottlenecks…

Had he finally encountered his bottleneck?

“Alright, alright, Lord Chen isn’t a god; he needs to rest sometimes.”

“It’s been too rushed lately.”

“Three Kingdoms Unrivaled was only finished yesterday; how could he make a new one so quickly?”

Someone also said this.

However, despite saying so, for some reason, everyone still felt a bit empty. They had been shocked too many times, so when something ordinary happened this time, everyone felt unaccustomed to it.

“Enough talk, the duel has begun.”

“Let’s go in.”

“Let’s finish quickly. I’m waiting to queue up in Three Kingdoms Unrivaled. To tell you the truth, I’ve already found Lu Bu’s weakness. Watch me get the first kill for you later.”

“Pfft, you just boast.”

The light from the Dungeon in front flashed, and over 300 Adventurers from Tide Town disappeared from their original spot.

What appeared before them then.

Was a relatively ordinary Dungeon-crawling type of Dungeon.

It was decent.

It didn't bring any surprising feelings to the Adventurers of Tide Town, but it didn't disappoint them either; they could still gain some rewards from it.
