Outside the entrance, the crowd erupted once again.

The people here changed batch after batch every day, and most of them were new faces.

After all, not everyone could challenge high-difficulty lairs, nor could everyone afford the exorbitant price to clear cooldowns.

Most Dungeon Masters had consumed most of their Mental Strength after clearing a wave of the dungeon, and they had to come out to rest and meditate, or even leave directly, only returning after their condition recovered.

Unlike Su Mu and Ye Qingxue, who brushed several rounds in a row every day, going from Normal to Difficult to Nightmare and then to Hell, almost without stopping in between.

Therefore, even though the crowd outside the entrance of the Land of Buried Bones changed batch after batch, whenever someone saw these two young people walking towards that bright red light curtain, they still couldn't help stopping to take a few extra glances.

"Those two people are here again, choosing Hell directly?"

"I saw them enter Nightmare before, and now they are entering Hell again. Two people playing a Hell-Level dungeon? This is way too fierce."

"I know that woman; it's Ye Qingxue, the SSS-grade Ice Queen of Rongcheng No. 1 High School. The man is unclear; his information has been shielded."

"SSS-grade? No wonder. But even for an SSS-grade, two people playing a Hell-Level dungeon is too straining. Don't normal Hell-Level dungeons require a five-person team to dare enter?"

"Mind your own business, maybe they have trump cards. Look at them brushing every day these past few days, from Normal to Nightmare, without stopping a single day. Can their Mental Strength hold up?"

"That's why geniuses and ordinary people are not the same species. When I come out after playing a round of a Difficult dungeon, my head is dizzy, and I need to meditate for at least four or five hours to recover. They brush so many rounds a day and specifically pick high difficulties."

"And judging by their appearance, they should be this year's Awakened ones, right? They can play Hell-Level dungeons just a few days after Awakening; if they were given a few more months, wouldn't that be outrageous?"

"Outrageous, truly outrageous. This year's College Entrance Examination is probably going to have a good show to watch."

"That reminds me, that man's information is completely untraceable, and even his Level cannot be seen. What kind of shielding equipment is he using to have such a good effect?"

"I don't know. But being able to make Ye Qingxue follow him to brush dungeons, he definitely isn't an ordinary person."

The murmurs rose and fell, but no one stepped forward to disturb them.

After these past few days, the regulars here had long since grown used to this combination.

Two young people, one whose information couldn't be checked, and one who was SSS-grade, appeared on time every day, brushing all the way from low difficulty to high difficulty, and then leaving quietly.

They never teamed up with others, nor did they participate in any idle chatter, acting like two precision machines, focusing solely on the dungeon itself.

The bright red light curtain spun quietly, completely swallowing the figures of the two people.

In the Hell-Level Land of Buried Bones, the dark red sky still pressed overhead like a red-hot iron plate, and the scent of sulfur and charred bone powder filled the nasal cavity.

The runes on the bone pillars flowed with magma-like liquid, and the ground was covered with scorched bone fragments.

The first wave of monsters surged out from the fissure.

Level 20 Hell Skeleton Soldiers, one hundred and fifty of them.

Ye Qingxue summoned the Ice Queen at the first instance.

The crystal-long dress swept across the scorched black bone powder ground, frost-white spreading wherever it passed, but it was quickly vaporized into white mist by the Hell-Level heatwave.

The Ice Queen raised her hand, and ice shards shot out, striking the Skeleton Soldiers. The deceleration effect was noticeably stronger than before by a notch.

Su Mu glanced at her and nodded slightly.

It had indeed improved.

For the first five waves, the Ice Queen's coordination was quite good.

Ice walls intercepted the flanks, and ice shards decelerated the front. Although the damage was still insufficient for a quick kill, the control effect was more than double that of the Nightmare dungeon.

After those Skeleton Soldiers were hit by the ice shards, their movements were noticeably sluggish, and Little Drill-Wind and White Bone Demon took the opportunity to reap, with extremely high efficiency.

On the tenth wave, the BOSS appeared.

The Ice Queen's performance remained stable; her ice walls could block the BOSS's attacks two or three times before shattering, and the ice shards' deceleration time was extended from the previous one or two seconds to three or four seconds.

Ye Qingxue's pressure was much less than last time.

However, by the eleventh wave, the situation began to change.

The attribute improvement magnitude of the Hell-Level monsters began to exceed the Ice Queen's control limit.

The ice shards struck the monsters, and the deceleration time shortened again. The ice walls shattered the moment elite monsters bumped into them.

Ye Qingxue had to make the Ice Queen retreat to a farther position, retaining only the long-range deceleration effect.

After the fifteenth wave, the Ice Queen's damage could already be ignored.

Her ice shards hitting Level 20 elite monsters could only scrape off a layer of bone powder.

But the control effect was still there. Although the duration was short, every deceleration could buy valuable output windows for Little Drill-Wind and White Bone Demon.

On the twentieth wave, the Ice Queen was clearly weakening.

The ice walls were shattered by the BOSS in less than two seconds after rising, and the ice shards' deceleration time returned to a Level similar to the Nightmare dungeon.

Ye Qingxue clenched her teeth and withdrew the Ice Queen to the edge of the battlefield, only responsible for releasing ice walls at the most critical moments to intercept the skeleton hordes attempting to flank and sneak attack Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Su Mu watched from the side, sighing silently in his heart.

Truly a Genius.

With just a one-Level increase and three days of time, the Ice Queen's control effect had grown to this extent.

If she were given another ten days or so to reach Level 20, it should be no problem for her to clear the Hell-Level dungeon alone.

By then, the bonuses under the Ice and Snow World theme would make her a true Sovereign of the battlefield.

On the other side, Ye Qingxue was even more shocked.

She had been observing Su Mu's two cards all along.

White Bone Demon and Little Drill-Wind handled this Hell-Level lair even more smoothly than three days ago.

As White Bone Demon's bone whip swung, the range and duration of the Fire Curtain spreading out were more precise than before.

Although she was still straining when facing a Level 25 BOSS, she wasn't as flustered as the first time.

As for Little Drill-Wind's changes, they were the most obvious.

Three days ago when fighting the Hell-Level dungeon for the first time, Little Drill-Wind could only barely maneuver when facing the joint suppression of the Golden Bone Guard and Iron-Crowned Bone General.

But now, it suppressed both bosses—the Iron-Crowned Bone General and the Golden Bone Guard—all by itself.

Amidst the slashing of its short blade, deep cracks were hacked into the Golden Bone Guard's steel skeleton, and the Iron-Crowned Bone General's bone spear throw was easily dodged by it, followed by a backhanded slash onto its shoulder blade.

Little Drill-Wind had clearly grown stronger, and it was a qualitative change.

Ye Qingxue couldn't figure it out.

These past three days, she and Su Mu had been together all along, and she knew what resources Su Mu had obtained.

Although those materials combined were valuable, they shouldn't be enough to cause a qualitative change in a card.

What on earth had happened to Little Drill-Wind?

She didn't know about Lion Camel Ridge expanding to eighty li, nor did she know that Little Drill-Wind's attributes had surged by forty percent.
