Who Designed This Underworld Dungeon?-Chapter 1009 - 663: Beat Them Until They Can’t Get Up Again

Sain Dungeon, the City Lord's room.

Gong Qiying was monitoring the happenings inside the dungeon through hundreds of screens, a situation that truly tested his multitasking abilities.

The most significant battle—between the Demon Dragon and the Mad Dragon had already concluded.

Excluding Gapar, who was still being chased around by the Mad Dragon, the battle had indeed ended.

Elo was unable to stand again, the Madness Qi Dragon's dire state was unbearable to watch, and Hidor had been easily taken down.

As for Belle, due to the ample spiritual power he was granted this time, his strength was unexpectedly overwhelming; he was only slightly injured by the end of the battle.

If his combat style was less wild, the injuries could have been even lighter.

As for the Sword Saint.

Gapar wasn't actually within the attack range, but letting Belle just let him go would seem very strange; a fight was necessary to make sense.

So it was a case of "to each his share."

Fortunately, Gapar understood the unspoken rules of Sain Dungeon and didn't truly fight Belle fiercely, showing a cooperative demeanor.

Before long, he intentionally revealed a flaw, hoping to pretend to be knocked unconscious by Belle to escape the turmoil, knowing that age made it unnecessary to clash with someone as crazy as Belle.

Yet, Belle swallowed him whole; fortunately, mere human flesh wasn't enough to fill his teeth, so he didn't chew much and just gulped him down.

Therefore, Gong Qiying conveniently "banished" Gapar beside some random blessing outside Spiky Mountain, hoping he could find some warmth there.

"Next, it's time to deal with these dragons."

Gong Qiying did not dismiss Belle but instructed him to standby nearby.

Besides the two clan leaders and the Madness Qi Dragon lying on the ground, the dismantled and fainted Demon Dragons lay all over, none awake, enough to prove how thrilling the battle had been.

The most concerning aspect was, these dragons weren't dead, or rather, the majority weren't dead.

Belle's battle showed no mercy, the Flame Thunderfall alone was enough to obliterate a single Demon Dragon, and the demon dragons shattered into pieces were thoroughly dead.

But those not shattered displayed astonishing life force.

"It's hard to imagine, they can regrow a full body from just a seed."

The black substance granted the Demon Dragons unimaginable recovery ability, only slightly inferior to a Deadpool.

Upon closer inspection, Elo and the others had almost recovered; their bodies twitched continuously under the influence of the black substance but hadn't awakened, though it seemed only a matter of time before they did.

Thus, he let Belle standby to beat them again when they awoke until they lost consciousness once more!

Why not just finish them off while they're unconscious?

That could be done, but before these Demon Dragons were beyond saving, completely finishing them off was just a backup option for Gong Qiying.

Making decisions required considering many factors, such as Elo and Hidor's unusual status outside, the origins of the Madness Qi Dragon and the Demon Dragons were also worth exploring, and more importantly:

Fudolin mentioned a possible solution to the black substance attached to the Demon Dragons, referred to as the plague.

"Either fulfill their desires or beat them till they can't get up!" was Fudolin's original words.

Beating them to the point where they can't stand, he already had Belle doing just that, only waiting to see the result; fulfilling desires sounded too troublesome, and he wasn't inclined to handle that for the moment.

Treat enemies like a Soul-sucking Ghost violently, treat friends as friendly as the Solar.

Although the two sides hadn't met, Gong Qiying considered Elo, who regularly brought his clan to Sain Dungeon to perish and raise his own achievements, to be on the "friend" side.

Whether it's Elo or Hidor, or Leon and Luluwo, and many others whose names he didn't know who sought their livelihood in the dungeon, as long as they entered the dungeon and didn't cause trouble, Gong Qiying was quite willing to assist them.

Such actions, if said to be for the sustainable development of Sain Dungeon, would also be quite fitting.

But when considering everything for the sake of profit, it always felt odd; Gong Qiying preferred to call his behavior an exhibition of "humanity," maintaining his humanity in dealings with the world.

If he truly focused solely on the dungeon and ignored everything else, he would probably become as inhumane as the previous Gedwin.

Being an Animated Corpse outside would be one thing; he certainly didn't want his insides to turn into an Animated Corpse as well.

"Should I give them some Goddess' Blessing?"

Gong Qiying pondered, as the black substance attached to Elo and the others was referred to by Fudolin as a "plague."

A plague could be considered an abnormal state, right? Therefore, the Goddess' Blessing that could cure all abnormal states might be useful; applying such a thing could solve the problem simply and directly.

However, before he could decide, Elo, who fell earliest, moved his eyelids, showing a bit more life, and suddenly opened his eyes in the next second.

"What... what happened to me?"

His gaze was completely different from before, now filled with rationality.

"Is it working?" Gong Qiying expressed a sigh of admiration, saying, "So violence can indeed cure disease."

Fudolin was right.

Now Elo only felt his whole body was unbearably sore, unable to lift his hand; his once beautiful scales were dull and lusterless, reminiscent of when Leon's hair was frightened by the Lion Ape.

Were their hair and scales some kind of emotional indicators?

Facing this situation, only one thought crossed Elo's mind:

Neither the Silver Dragon nor the Heavenly Returning Dragon ever beat me this badly! Who the hell did it!

Waking up feeling like being crushed, anyone would feel angry; for someone as temperamental as Elo, it was even more true.

However, his anger instantly activated the plague on his body, and the rationality that had finally appeared in his eyes was completely eroded!

"Roar! Kill!"

Ignoring his injuries, Elo was filled with wrath and howled angrily at the sky.

He wants to kill everything!

He wants to destroy everything!

He wants to—

"Boom!"

Belle smashed Elo's head into the ground with his tail, then hit a few more times to level the ground completely.

The roars suddenly stopped, and the scene was terrifyingly quiet.

Belle then poked a few more times into the pit with Elo's head using his own bone spurs, and now it was completely silent.

Gong Qiying rubbed his temples, talking to himself, "It seems effective, but not very effective, maybe the more you beat them, the more effective it gets?"

He decided to temporarily not use the Goddess' Blessing and try this world's native methods; perhaps using local methods might have other benefits, wouldn't they? The Goddess' Blessing would be the last resort.

Hidor and the Madness Qi Dragon gradually woke up, only to be hammered into the ground repeatedly by Belle. The Demon Dragon group was even easier to deal with, just calling for Flame Thunderfall would wipe out a bunch in seconds.

Those who could withstand the thunder were left to Belle to handle, satisfying his extremely cruel heart.

The Little Sunflower Belle Class was in session; the Dragon Clan's plague wasn't getting better? Maybe they just needed a good beating.

And amidst Belle's relentless beating of the Dragon Clan, other changes were taking place.

Previously, those Two-legged Dragons and Four-legged Dragons who ran into the Sain Dungeon were also getting infected.

This plague resembled a zombie virus; the injured dragons had only settled for a moment in the dungeon before falling ill, starting to attack surrounding creatures indiscriminately.

So Gong Qiying transported these dragons who had become mindless Demon Dragons over there to receive Belle's loving embrace.

Because most of the Two-legged Dragons had gathered at the Academy Gate Town, they began attacking the well-established safety zone adventurers had painstakingly built. Although there were many capable adventurers, they couldn't hold back the frenzied Demon Dragons for long.

So Gong Qiying initiated a "Monster Siege" against the "Great Safety Zone" of the Academy Gate Town. Amidst the adventurers' chaos, the Demon Dragons all left, disappearing from people's sight.

In reality, they were sent over to Belle.

Although there was a design in Lake Lienia indicating the "Great Safety Zone" wouldn't suffer monster attacks, these were exceptional times, and making some exceptions occasionally couldn't be helped.

Thus, the situation evolved into its current state.

The ground at Belle's feet was littered with corpses.

He roared atop a high mountain of giant dragons, truly unbeatable throughout the world.

This scene was so striking that Gong Qiying couldn't help but capture it; not recording it would be a waste.

The Dragon Clan repeatedly died and revived, and each time they awakened, it was no more than three minutes before Belle fiercely satisfied his combat urge.

Their efforts began to show results.

Previously, Elo and Hidor could only remain conscious for a few seconds; now, they gradually could stay alert for a few minutes. The plague on their bodies also diminished, eventually disappearing completely.

Testing confirmed the plague was beaten out of them.

The infected dragons from the Warrior Country were also gradually cured, perhaps because they hadn't been deeply infected due to being beaten in time.

After confirming they were fine, Gong Qiying threw them out.

Elo and the others seemed completely unable to comprehend the situation. Even when waking up, their memories of Belle were blurry, like they had accidentally entered Hell.

Gradually, the number of dragons piled here decreased.

In the end, only the Madness Qi Dragon and the Demon Dragons that came with her remained.

Facing these creatures, Belle was tired, bored of fighting, as no one wants to always hit an unchallenging punching bag.

"After beating for so long, these guys show no signs of improvement."

Gong Qiying accessed the monitoring of the Sain Dungeon, rewound the time, and released the footage of Fudolin.

In the footage, Fudolin had just finished explaining matters related to the plague, and upon being asked by everyone, she revealed her background.

"We are a Dragon Clan living on the Floating Island, having never communicated with the ground. Ever since I started remembering things, it's always been like this, but we observe the ground's conditions, so we somewhat understand you."

Everyone vaguely guessed, but they were still shocked to learn that a hidden Dragon Clan lived on the Floating Island.

This meant Fudolin's Dragon Clan were pureblood dragons, never having experienced any mixed lineage!

This was quite rare. For the mixed-blood dragons of the Warrior Country, it was their first time seeing purebloods.

When asked why they didn't communicate with the ground, Fudolin replied:

"Because of the unpredictable nature of the plague, we couldn't live normally on the ground. The elders of the tribe upheld traditions, forbidding any contact with the ground."

Fudolin sighed.

"Yet this plague came fiercely, surpassing any in history. Even though we were prepared, it caught us off guard until the entire island fell, and I escaped under my mother's protection."

Everything that followed was known. The Madness Qi Dragon was also wounded and infected, now receiving Belle's education.

Abel asked with a serious expression, "How can we solve the plague? No matter what, I must save Grandpa."

"Direct confrontation is difficult..."

"Then let's try to satisfy their desires!" Abel pursued, "How should we do it?"

"Everyone's desires, I think I know what they are..."

For some reason, Fudolin looked embarrassed and hesitated before saying:

"We're starving..."
