Chapter 30
Black Ant Suit Blueprint
“What’s going on? Did you get anything good?” Jiang He curiously asked as he saw Mo Xiao bowing his head to examine the dropped items.
Mo Xiao pondered for a moment upon hearing the question, then directly took out the boss chest and carefully rubbed it.
[You rubbed the Boss Treasure Chest. The Boss Treasure Chest has been upgraded to an Elite Boss Treasure Chest.]
“I obtained a set of blueprints and some materials. I’ll take the blueprints and materials, and you can have the rest.”
As Mo Xiao spoke, he handed the treasure chest to Jiang He.
“An elite boss chest?!” Jiang He’s eyes widened as he saw the chest in his hand. “No, I can’t take this. Boss chests often drop skill books and equipment! You’re a casual player, and you need it more than I do!”
“It’s fine, you take it. I don’t need this chest at all with my current combat power,” Mo Xiao said calmly. “Besides, your uncle gave me a skill book for forging, so consider this as compensation.”
“But…”
Mo Xiao glanced at Jiang He and said, “Stop wasting time. Let’s go, we need to speed up. I want to run the dungeon a few more times today.”
“Oh…” Although Jiang He wanted to refuse again, she eventually nodded, no longer saying anything, and put away the chest. She followed behind Mo Xiao, heading towards the depths of the cave.
…
Meanwhile, in the instance dungeon hall, a group of people gathered in front of the black ant instance, observing the reddish-black ant nest and discussing what might happen inside.
“They’ve been inside for half an hour! Could they have already died there?!”
“Nonsense! If they died in the instance dungeon, it wouldn’t have this color, and there would be a prompt!”
“The record for this instance dungeon is 52 minutes. Do you think they could clear the dungeon in just 52 minutes?”

“What are you talking about! The record for this dungeon was set by a level 15 10-player team! They are only two people, and one is level 10 while the other is only level 6. Forget about breaking the record; it’s already impressive if they can clear the dungeon!”
“Yeah, that’s true… I wonder if there will be any extra rewards for clearing it at a lower level.”
…
At this time, Jiang Shan also returned to the main hall of the dungeon and saw a group of newcomers gathered in front of the dungeon gate, chattering away.
“What’s going on? Why aren’t you leveling in the dungeon? What are you doing here?” Jiang Shan looked at them with some confusion, furrowing his brows and asking.
“Third Master, someone entered the purgatory-level black ant nest,” one of the newcomers quickly said upon seeing him.
Jiang Shan didn’t pay much attention to it and replied, “Isn’t that normal? This is the instance dungeon hall, and it’s not just you guys who run dungeons. Although there are fewer people going to purgatory-level dungeons, there are still a few. After all, the greater the risk, the greater the opportunity.”
“But the person who entered the purgatory-level instance dungeon is a newcomer like us!”
Hearing this, Jiang Shan laughed and waved his hand dismissively. “Haha, impossible! What kind of joke are you…”
Before Jiang Shan could finish his sentence, he suddenly turned his head abruptly. “Wait! What did you say?! A newcomer entered the purgatory-level dungeon?!”
“That’s right…”
“Don’t tell me it’s Mo Xiao and Jiang He!” Jiang Shan looked anxiously at the person.
The newcomer couldn’t help but gulp and nodded, “Y-yes!”
“Damn it! That brat! What the hell is he up to?” Jiang Shan was so enraged that he almost slapped the person in front of him to death..
“Oh no, I’m done for! If anything happens to Jiang He in the dungeon, my sister-in-law will kill me!” Jiang Shan sat on the ground, holding his head, on the verge of crying out in despair.
The group of newcomers looked at Jiang Shan, sweating profusely and sitting on the ground, with bewildered expressions.
They had no idea what was happening.
“Um… Third Hall Master? What’s wrong with you? Did something happen?”
“What’s it to you? Disperse and go run your dungeons!” Jiang Shan shouted angrily.
Everyone quickly dispersed, not daring to say another word.
“What should I do? How could I entrust Jiang He to such an idiot!” Jiang Shan was on the verge of tears, completely at a loss for what to do.
After all, dungeons were completely independent spaces, and different people entering would enter different instances.
Outsiders couldn’t help unless they directly disbanded the map, forcibly ejecting the people inside.
However, this type of movable instance dungeon was extremely rare, and it was impossible to disband the entire instance dungeon just for one or two people.
As Jiang Shan was agonizing over what to do, a familiar voice made him jump up from the ground in fear.
“What’s wrong, Jiang Shan? As a deputy mayor and a master of our instance dungeon hall, can’t you maintain some composure?” A majestic female voice resounded behind Jiang Shan.
Hearing this voice, Jiang Shan trembled and turned around with a fawning expression, “Sister-in-law, you’re here!”
“It’s working hours now, call me the Deputy Hall Master.” The Deputy Hall Master said calmly, “Tell me, what happened? Why are you so flustered?”
Jiang Shan shivered at these words, his expression even more obsequious. “Deputy Hall Master, I hope you won’t get angry if I tell you. Please don’t lay hands on me, haha~”
The Deputy Hall Master’s eyebrows furrowed instantly upon hearing this. “You tell me first, and then I’ll decide whether to deal with you or not.”
“Well… maybe I shouldn’t say it after all…” Jiang Shan scratched his head awkwardly and closed his mouth.
Seeing Jiang Shan’s appearance, the Deputy Hall Master seemed to have a realization, and her expression suddenly changed. “Is something wrong with Jiang He?”
“No, if something happened, there should be a system prompt for me…”
As he spoke, the Deputy Hall Master lifted Jiang Shan’s collar. “Hurry up and say it! Otherwise, I can beat you up now!”
Seeing this, Jiang Shan sighed helplessly and said, “Alright, actually, it’s not a particularly bad thing. It’s just…”
As he spoke, Jiang Shan pointed at the entrance of the pocket dimension not far away.
When the Deputy Hall Master saw this, she subconsciously turned her head to look and immediately noticed the dungeon gate emanating the exclusive radiance of a purgatory-level dungeon.
“Purgatory-level black ant nest…” The Deputy Hall Master’s pupils constricted when she saw this. “Are you crazy?! Letting Jiang He enter a dungeon of this level! She’s only level 6!!!”
“It’s not me, it’s not me!! How could I let her take such a huge risk to enter a dungeon of this level?!” Seeing this, Jiang Shan hurriedly squatted down and covered his head. His movements were very skilled. Clearly, this kind of thing happened often.
“What’s that? Hurry up and say it!” The Deputy Hall Master suppressed the anger in her heart and scolded.
Jiang Shan scratched his head and said, “Among the newcomers this year, there’s a genius who reached Level 10 on the first day.”
“Level 10 on the first day… is that Mo Xiao?” The Deputy Hall Master thought for a moment and immediately mentioned Mo Xiao’s name.
Jiang Shan nodded and continued, “He has a good relationship with Jiang He, so I asked him to bring Jiang He along…”
“…” When the Deputy Hall Master heard this, she fell silent and her expression darkened. “In other words… that kid brought Jiang He into the purgatory-level instance dungeon?”
“If they’re really in a team, that’s right.”
When the Deputy Hall Master heard this, she took a few deep breaths and said coldly, “No one in the Mo Family is easy to deal with! His father, his mother, and himself!”
With that, the Deputy Hall Master kicked Jiang Shan hard, saying, “Meddling in matters that don’t concern you!”
Then she walked directly towards the dungeon gate with large strides.
“Sister-in-law, you’re not going to disband the dungeon, are you?” Jiang Shan asked cautiously.
The Deputy Hall Master gave Jiang Shan a disdainful glance and said, “No, I just want to see their situation.”
As she spoke, the Deputy Hall Master took out something unknown and tapped it on the dungeon gate, instantly projecting a screen of light from above the gate.
Immediately, two figures appeared on the light screen.
One was a man in a black robe, holding a staff, gently pointing forward. A pitch-black flame instantly burst into flames on the ants not far away.
‘-9,000!’
As a terrifying number appeared, everyone present was dumbfounded.
