Chapter 32

The area in front of the Dead Silence Forest dungeon was crowded with players, all gathered at the entrance.

Because the elite teams from various major guilds in the Red Leaf Town had all arrived, and these elite teams were already preparing to challenge the Dead Silence Forest. These teams were much stronger than the scattered elite squads, all equipped with ordinary gear, and some even had bronze gear.

"That's the main tank of Heaven's Crown, Immovable Mountain. I didn't expect him to come here; this way, the Dead Silence Forest will definitely be cleared."

"Hmph, what's Heaven's Crown? Just a third-rate guild. Look over there, the deputy leader of the Assassin League's elite team, Heartstab, has come. And the Guardian Knight next to him is called War Spirit, one of the top five knights in the Assassin League, much stronger than Immovable Mountain."

The players began to discuss, all favoring the major guilds. After all, there were over ten large and small guilds here, the most famous being the second-rate top guild, the Assassin League, followed by the third-rate guild, Heaven's Crown. The rest were unknown guilds, but these small guilds were not to be underestimated, as each guild had a studio behind it, with players hired at high salaries, far superior to ordinary high-level players.

To establish a reputation in Red Leaf Town, the major guilds chose to clear the Dead Silence Forest, the first dungeon to appear in the town. For this, the major guilds were well-prepared, having spent a lot of money on equipment and potions, and also purchased a lot of information about the Dead Silence Forest, feeling very confident about clearing it.

"Boss Sky Net, the guild teams' equipment is too fancy; this time, the Dead Silence Forest will definitely be cleared." The priest, Silent Summer Night, said with a somewhat sad expression.

Ranger Sky Net waved his hands, crossed his arms, and nodded slightly, saying with a hint of helplessness, "Who would have thought the Dead Silence Forest would be so difficult? We didn't even see the boss before being wiped out. As a result, our small team became the scouts for these guilds."

"What's so great about guild experts? Boss, it's not that our skills are lacking, but this dungeon is too terrifying, with extremely high equipment requirements." The shield warrior, Fight to the End, pouted and said disdainfully, still looking down on these guild experts, believing that the failure to clear the dungeon was due to equipment issues.

"Exactly, Boss. If our team had such equipment, we would have cleared the Dead Silence Forest long ago." Silent Summer Night said with great confidence.

Mentioning the dungeon, Silent Summer Night thought of Stone Peak's team and said with a grin, "And we're not without gains. Didn't we kill two night rabbits and get a skill book for a berserker? We're much stronger than that 'rookie' leader's team, who haven't even shown up yet. They probably felt too embarrassed and ran away. It's a pity for Lonely Snow. If he had joined us, this skill book would be his. If he knew, he would probably regret not going with us."

"Exactly, Lonely Snow was too arrogant. Now he must regret not going with Boss." Fight to the End laughed loudly.

"Lonely Snow's skills are still good, but that rookie somehow got the support of a high-level player called Blackie. Even if that high-level player is skilled, with a weak link, they would probably be wiped out. Now they're too embarrassed to show up. If they had followed us, they might have cleared the Dead Silence Forest." Sky Net waved his hands, feeling quite pleased and secretly satisfied.

"Boss, look, the guilds are about to enter." Silent Summer Night said.

Just as everyone was about to see the major guilds enter, the dungeon's portal suddenly changed color, from silver-gray to pitch black, with a faintly roaring skull head.

The members of the major guilds couldn't help but take a few steps back.

"What's going on?"

Everyone had this question, but they soon got the answer.

Six figures suddenly appeared at the entrance of the dungeon, each dressed in luxurious attire, giving off a subtle sense of oppression, especially the enchanter with the black staff. The dark gray equipment was clearly a set, clearly not ordinary, and much better than bronze equipment.

"Huh, why are there so many people?" Stone Peak looked around and saw that these were the elite teams from various major guilds, feeling strange about why they were blocking the entrance.

Stone Peak's team also felt a bit nervous, after all, being watched by so many people, the pressure was no less than facing a boss.

"Boss Sky Net, look, isn't that the rookie?" Silent Summer Night, with his keen eyes, pointed at Stone Peak.

Sky Net waved his hands and frowned slightly. He not only saw Stone Peak but also Lonely Snow, feeling very curious, "Why are they here? Didn't they leave long ago?"

"I think they didn't even enter the forest of the Dead Silence Forest. They knew they couldn't clear the dungeon and were worried about losing face, so they stayed inside and only came out now." Fight to the End laughed loudly, "Now it's fun. They came out and got caught right away. Look at how bad Lonely Snow's face looks."

"Ha ha ha, they're really rookies. They didn't even have the courage to enter the dungeon and came back, and now everyone knows." Silent Summer Night pointed at Stone Peak and laughed so hard he almost fell to the ground.

Sky Net waved his hands, thinking Silent Summer Night had a point. How else could Stone Peak's team return unscathed? They knew how terrifying the Dead Silence Forest was. Once you enter the forest, you either clear the dungeon or get wiped out. There was no third option. Now that Stone Peak's team returned unscathed, it was clear they didn't enter the forest. Clearing the Dead Silence Forest was impossible.

As Sky Net's team mocked Stone Peak's team, the surrounding players also laughed hysterically, which made Sky Net's team feel very strange. Why were these people laughing at Stone Peak's team? Was Stone Peak's team that famous?

Sky Net's team didn't know that after they entered the dungeon, Stone Peak's team had already become famous in the Dead Silence Forest. A team of 1st-level rookies challenging a hell-level dungeon was the most reckless action, impossible to ignore.

After all, good news doesn't spread, but bad news travels a thousand miles.

"Ha ha ha, that weirdo is back. I was quite impressed by him, thinking they were so cool to challenge the hell-level Dead Silence Forest, but they turned out to be cowards."

"I can't take it anymore, my stomach hurts."

The surrounding players who knew about Stone Peak's team understood their actions. They knew that challenging a hell-level dungeon was foolish, so they didn't enter the Dead Silence Forest but stayed at the entrance, waiting for the right moment to leave without anyone noticing. Unfortunately, fate didn't help them, and they were caught by everyone when the major guilds entered the dungeon.

"Brother Peak, what's wrong with these people?" Blackie, seeing the players lying on the ground laughing, scratched his head and asked, "Are their brains broken? Why are they all lying on the ground, holding their stomachs and laughing?"

"Who knows, maybe their brains are cramping. It seems playing Divine Realm for the first time shouldn't be too long." Stone Peak didn't think their appearance had anything to do with the players' behavior, "Let's go, it's creepy here."

The other members of the team nodded, finding all the players in the Dead Silence Forest very strange.

"Sir, please wait a moment."

Just as Stone Peak's team was about to leave the entrance, a clear voice rang out, and a beautiful woman in a white robe, looking pure and charming, walked towards Stone Peak's team.

Stone Peak recognized her; she was Moonlight, a top 100 priest in the Star Moon Kingdom.

Moonlight walked up to Stone Peak, looking a bit embarrassed, her fair cheeks blushing slightly, and said softly, "Hello, I'm Moonlight from the Devouring Serpent. We met before entering the dungeon. Our team leader wants to talk to you about the Dead Silence Forest dungeon. Do you... have any interest?"
