Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1352 - 1286: The Fourth Sin

"Me!" Yun immediately responded.

Now they had broken through the clouds and saw the sunlight!

This meant that the Wings of the Sun Chaser could finally come into play!

The main function of the Wings of the Sun Chaser was to accelerate during flight, reaching up to light speed. However, since he couldn’t fly right now, this acceleration effect couldn’t be used.

But the Wings of the Sun Chaser had a [Light Harvesting] attribute, which could absorb sunlight and convert it into a certain attribute of oneself. Yun could convert the light-harvested attribute into movement speed!

Moreover, he was now on the upper half of Purgatory Mountain, at a significant height, which allowed for a formidable amount of light harvesting!

Dragon Spike suddenly extended his hand, forming a hand seal, and strands of the Power of the Formation rose, linking everyone together swiftly like a bond, ultimately connecting all to Yun, with him as the center.

"This is the Godspeed Formation, and you’re the Formation Eye, so we can enjoy your speed boost," Dragon Spike explained.

Yun immediately began to sprint with all his might, the Wings of the Sun Chaser frantically flapping, sunlight pouring down like a stream, continuously pouring into the Wings of the Sun Chaser, being converted into his speed.

Everyone’s running speed was also boosted by Yun, rapidly surging like a series of phantoms speeding through the desert.

The scenery around them rapidly blurred past, and the Purgatory Rattlesnakes were left farther and farther behind, yet new rattlesnakes constantly emerged to pursue them, never allowing them to fully shake free.

At this moment, suddenly a group of frantically running people appeared ahead, but their direction differed from that of Yun and his group.

"Every group of people we’ve encountered was running in the same direction, perhaps they’re heading towards the stage boss for this level? We might as well follow them, otherwise, in such a vast desert, finding the boss area is too difficult." At this, Thunder God suddenly spoke.

Everyone immediately adjusted their direction and began running alongside those sprinting crowds, soon leaving that group far behind.

After running for some time, they finally saw a canyon in the distance, filled with jagged rocks and leaving only a small entrance. Inside the canyon, they could vaguely see lush greenery, like a hidden oasis.

Footprints extended in every direction across the desert towards that canyon, clearly indicating numerous groups had been chased there by the venomous snakes before.

Soon, the group rushed from the desert into the canyon, while the venomous snakes stopped outside the canyon, seemingly afraid to enter.

The group finally stopped, panting, and slowly walked deeper into the canyon.

Upon entering the canyon, the light was immediately blocked by cliffs on both sides, with only a strip of sky visible above, casting a shadowy gloom.

Emerging from the canyon, they found an oasis ahead, with a central lake surrounded by towering trees.

At the lakeside, there lounged an exquisite beauty, with exaggerated smoky makeup, lazily lying on a massive rock, scooping lake water for bathing, her clothes soaked, faintly revealing her alluring figure.

She cast a seductive gaze at the group, beckoning them with a finger as if inviting the men to join her for a bath.

"That’s... the Queen of Agony!"

"No, it should be the Queen of Agony who entered with the Spirit Demon!"

The group was momentarily stunned!

They had previously speculated that this Queen of Agony wasn’t the real Queen of Agony, yet they didn’t know why she was here in Purgatory.

The Heavenly Demons had made her the gatekeeper boss for this level, likely because of her immense strength.

However, she was likely a clone, controlled by the system, not a real person guarding the gate.

"It doesn’t matter who she is; we shouldn’t waste time battling her!" Thunder God said, patting his Pillar of Sea God.

At this time, Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields was just about cooled down, ready for use again!

He immediately raised the Pillar of Sea God, uttering the familiar skill incantation—"Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields!"

The next moment, a crystalline drop of seawater emerged from the Pillar of Sea God, flying swiftly forward and almost instantly striking the clone of the Queen of Agony!

The clone of the Queen of Agony shuddered violently before vanishing from the oasis!

The lake water calmed once more, leaving emptiness behind!

"[System Prompt]: Your party has successfully passed the fourth level of Purgatory Mountain."

Indeed, Sea Changes into Mulberry Fields had again helped them instantly clear a level!

At this moment, the itching on everyone’s foreheads indicated another sin had been cleansed!

The Fourth Sin [Sloth] had been eradicated!

Only three sins remained on their foreheads, putting them on par with the Heavenly Demon, who had greatly outpaced them!

While the Heavenly Demon skipped the fifth level, it meant that he couldn’t cleanse the Fifth Sin, still leaving three sins on his forehead!

"For this level, let’s make Fuchan Fenrao the stage boss! This is close to the outside desert; perhaps obtaining the boss template will allow her to tame the venomous snakes in that desert en masse," Yun suggested, setting Fuchan Fenrao as the boss for this level.

Immediately, on the massive rock where the Queen of Agony had been, a clone of Fuchan Fenrao appeared, dressed in smart leather armor, holding a longbow, exuding heroism.

Next, they traversed through the oasis, continuing forward towards the Fifth Level.

"The Heavenly Demon and his group skipped the fifth level, indicating a shortcut somewhere on this path. If we can find it, we can directly jump to the Sixth Stage too!" Yun said, looking around.

Every other person also became vigilant, looking around, not missing any suspicious spots.

Countless viewers watching the live broadcast also widened their eyes, helping the group search for clues.

"Boom~" Suddenly, from a region extremely far above, near the mountain peak, came a loud explosion, spreading black smoke throughout the sky, causing the earth to tremble slightly even at such a distance.

"Not good! The leaderboard shows that the Heavenly Demon and company have killed off the Sixth Stage boss and are headed to the final stage! They’re almost at the summit!" The Poet exclaimed.

The tension they just released resurfaced once again!

If they couldn’t find the shortcut to the Sixth Stage, they would have to face the fifth boss directly, and it was not a player boss but an original Purgatory boss, extremely powerful. Whether they could defeat it was uncertain; even if possible, they didn’t know how much time it would take. By then, the Heavenly Demon and his group might have already reached the mountain peak.

"We have to find the shortcut, or we won’t make it in time!" Yun said gravely.

Heading out for a hike, and it coincides with my birthday, so updates have been sparse these days. Sorry, will resume after the Dragon Boat Festival.
