59: Happy New Year!

"Steady! Don't panic!"

Facing that terrifying wall of sand that seemed ready to swallow everything, Wang Yi's roar exploded in everyone's ears.

In his voice, there was not a trace of fear, only a steely calmness.

This calmness instantly infected every team member through the team voice chat, forcing their panicked hearts to settle down.

"Wu Qiong! Use your ability to get us out of here!" Wang Yi immediately issued the most critical command.

"I can't, Captain!" Locksmith Wu Qiong's voice was filled with anxiety.

"The scope of this sandstorm is too large! My Space Flicker can only take five people at a time and move less than a hundred meters! I can't blink out of here at all!"

The ability Wu Qiong awakened was Space Flicker, an extremely powerful displacement and life-saving skill.

But in the face of a natural disaster covering over dozens of kilometers, that bit of movement distance was like a drop in the bucket.

Seeing that the wall of sand was already right before their eyes.

The sand and stones whipped up by the gale hit their faces, causing sharp pain.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Could it be that their Dragon Team, which had just undergone a complete transformation...

...was going to be wiped out by a single sandstorm before they even saw what the BOSS looked like?

At the Dragon Country Operations Center, the atmosphere was also tense to the extreme.

"Quick! Comrade Su Yuan! Think of something! Are there any defensive items in the mall? Anything that can block a sandstorm of this scale?" Li Guodong was so anxious he was sweating profusely.

Su Yuan's expression was also incredibly grave as he quickly searched through the mall.

Things like "A-rank Defensive Barrier Generator" or "S-rank Space Stabilization Anchor" had heaven-defying effects, but the long string of zeros in their prices made him feel a surge of despair.

They only had a few dozen national fortune points left; they couldn't even afford the cheapest "Windproof Tent"!

"It's too late!"

Lin Zhan stared fixedly at the screen, his fists clenching until they creaked.

He saw that the wall of sand was already like a giant palm, slapping down fiercely!

Is it over?

At the very moment everyone thought the Dragon Team was doomed.

Wang Yi moved!

"Everyone! Hold onto me!"

He gave a furious roar, stomped his feet, and like a cannonball, he charged straight toward the wall of sand instead of retreating!

What is he doing?!

Everyone was stunned by Wang Yi's crazy action.

"Captain!"

Chen Hu and the others subconsciously tried to pull him back, but it was too late.

Seeing Wang Yi rush to the front of the team, he took a deep breath as he faced the world-destroying wall of sand.

He poured all the terrifying power from the t-virus enhancement into his right fist!

Then, he slowly opened his eyes.

At that moment, deep in his eyes, a faint trace of electricity suddenly flared brilliantly!

*Zzzzt—*

Dazzling blue electric arcs, like wild dancing silver snakes, erupted from his body without warning, coiling around his right arm!

"This... this is?!"

In the operations center, Li Guodong suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes bulging.

Lin Zhan's pupils also suddenly constricted!

On the screen, Wang Yi's entire right arm was enveloped in violent blue lightning, emitting a piercing hiss that illuminated the surrounding dim sandstorm with an eerie blue light!

Inside the dungeon world.

Chen Hu, Li Bingyao, and the others all watched this miraculous scene in a daze.

The captain in their hearts, that calm and powerful Soldier King, now seemed to have transformed into a god wielding thunder!

"Break... for me!"

Wang Yi let out an earth-shattering roar.

His right fist, wrapped in thousands of lightning bolts, slammed out fiercely toward the hundred-meter sand wall crashing down!

*Boom—!!!*

A massive blue pillar of lightning erupted from his fist!

The lightning pillar, like a divine punishment that split the heavens and earth, instantly tore through the dim sky with unmatched power and crashed violently into the giant wall of sand!

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

There was no earth-shattering explosion.

Only a dead silence.

The wall of sand, capable of swallowing everything, exploded like ignited gasoline the moment it touched the lightning pillar!

No, it wasn't an explosion.

It was annihilation!

Countless grains of yellow sand were instantly decomposed, gasified, and evaporated without a trace under the violent lightning energy!

A giant hole over fifty meters in diameter was forcibly blasted out of the wall of sand by Wang Yi's punch!

Sunlight poured down through the hole once more, illuminating the shocked faces of the Dragon Team members.

The wall of sand whistled past them.

Yet the area they were in remained unharmed because of the hole!

One punch to break a natural disaster!

What terrifying power!

*Gulp.*

Chen Hu swallowed with difficulty; looking at Wang Yi's back, still wreathed in electric arcs, he felt his brain had completely short-circuited.

"Cap... Captain... have... have you become an immortal?"

Wang Yi slowly lowered his fist as the lightning gradually faded.

He panted heavily, his face somewhat pale.

That punch just now had almost drained more than half the energy in his body.

But as he watched the receding sandstorm, his eyes burned with unprecedented excitement and confidence!

This was... the power brought by the t-virus serum!

The operations center had already turned into a sea of joy.

"We won! We won! Hahahaha!" Li Guodong danced with excitement like a child.

"Good lad! What a good lad!"

Lin Zhan slammed his fist onto the table, his eyes full of pride and relief.

Su Yuan also let out a long sigh of relief, his back soaked with cold sweat.

Looking at the man on the screen who resembled a god of war, a thought uncontrollably emerged from the depths of his heart.

Perhaps for this dungeon, they didn't need much pay-to-win support from him at all.

The transformed Dragon Team alone would be enough to sweep through everything!

However, just as this thought arose...

...a glaring red alert popped up on the system panel.

【Warning! High-intensity energy fluctuations detected. The underground guards of the Pyramid have been alerted!】

Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately switched the God's perspective to beneath the sand under the Dragon Team's feet.

Deep within the rolling yellow sands...

...countless pairs of crimson eyes suddenly snapped open!

*Sh-sh-sh...* The ground began to vibrate violently.

Bulges rapidly rose from the sand all around the Dragon Team.

"What are those?!"

Chen Hu was the first to notice the abnormality beneath his feet.

The next second.

*Puff! Puff! Puff!*

Countless creatures, each the size of a washbasin， A giant black scorpion with ferocious mandibles and sharp pincers， It suddenly emerged from the sand.！

They are densely packed， It can't be seen at a glance， Team Dragon has twenty members.， Surrounded！

【Monster Name: mutated sand scorpion】

【Level: F-rank (Common)】

【Abilities: Poisonous Tail Stinger, Burrowing】

【Weaknesses: Fear of Fire, Weak Abdominal Shell】

Looking at the information provided on the system panel, Su Yuan's brow furrowed slightly.

They were only F-rank common monsters; although numerous, they shouldn't pose a threat to the current Dragon Team.

But was it really that simple?

"Prepare for battle!"

The moment Wang Yi saw these monsters, he immediately issued the order.

That punch just now had consumed too much of his physical strength; he needed a bit of time to recover.

"Hahaha! Perfect timing! My hands are itching for a fight!"

Chen Hu let out an excited laugh and pulled the cold, glinting high-frequency battle blade from his back!

"Brothers! Let's see who kills more!"

He roared and was the first to charge toward the dense swarm of scorpions!
