Chapter 114: Empty Nest? Throne!

“Lin Han, the minotaurs down here are much higher level than the ones we met before. They'll be hard to handle.”
“That's true.”
Lin Han said, “The minotaurs here have reached level eighteen, and a few have even reached level twenty. How is your stamina right now?”
Yuan Si moved his shoulders, looking eager to have a go. “I've reached level twenty myself now, so I can just take these minotaurs as a test for my blade.”
“It's not that I don't trust you. Yes, you're level twenty now, the max for a second class change, but your injuries are still not fully healed. Even if you join the fight, you'd have almost no chance of winning.”
“So you'd better just watch from the side.”
Hearing Lin Han's words, Yuan Si felt somewhat displeased. It was true, but he still couldn't quite let it go.
“You're only level twenty-three. Do you think you're so sure of yourself facing such a massive horde of minotaurs?” Yuan Si demanded.
“Of course I am.” Lin Han smiled lightly. “The choice is yours. Though this is indeed a decent trial for you, be careful.”
“In a critical moment, put on the Minotaur Helm and it can protect you. It won't completely wipe the minotaurs' hatred, but it can still help you.”
After saying that, Lin Han jumped straight down from the high place.
[Taken landing impact, shield -3000]
That scene stunned Yuan Si. He just jumped down like that?
Yuan Si looked at the height—dozens of meters—and began to hesitate. If he jumped down like Lin Han, he would look impressive, but if he misjudged his HP, wouldn't he just fall to his death?
Take a gamble?
Gamble! No way! Spotting a gap off to the side, Yuan Si slunk over and made his way down from there.
By this time, Lin Han had already charged into the middle of the minotaur tribe. Countless minotaurs swarmed up and surrounded him in a tight circle.
“A mantis trying to stop a chariot!”
Lin Han's combat power was now close to the level of a Supreme Realm expert. Dealing with these minotaurs, he was completely at ease, without a trace of fear.
He threw punch after punch, and terrifying fist winds raged through the pack.
Seeing this, Yuan Si's heart trembled. This was far more powerful than during the entrance examination.
If he were to spar with Lin Han in his current state, he would probably lose miserably.

“Even so, I won't admit defeat!”
Yuan Si plunged into the minotaur pack as well.
...
“The last one!”
Lin Han threw out a heavy punch, and the last minotaur crumpled to the ground. The two stood before the palace.
“Not bad. I thought you wouldn't last till now.”
“Who are you looking down on?!” Yuan Si rolled his eyes. He was still one of the top fighters of the new generation in Huiyue City!
Even against such a crowd of minotaurs, he had no trouble at all. Although he had used the Minotaur Helm no fewer than ten times, he had still taken down a few minotaurs.
Put on the helm, then strike from ambush!
“Let's go. The boss should be inside. Let's finish it off.” Lin Han said as he pushed open the palace doors. Still, he had some doubts.
By common sense, after all that fighting outside, the boss should have come out to face the enemy. After all, this wasn't a game. The boss wouldn't just wait stupidly in its palace.
If its territory were attacked, it should have joined the battle immediately.
That was somewhat surprising.
“Lin Han, shouldn't we bring everyone over? The small fry outside are already this strong. The boss inside must be at least level twenty-plus.”
“That's a real watershed. Can the two of us handle a boss over level twenty?”
Even with Lin Han's current strength, in his eyes this was only normal. Other third-class-change experts should have similar power.
After all, when a party grinds a dungeon, they should all face these things together.
Lin Han patted Yuan Si's shoulder and said, “You're thinking too much. Ordinary third-class-change experts are not as strong as me. I'm an exception.”
“...” Yuan Si said helplessly, “Can you stop playing the hero at a time like this?”
“The boss inside is a Gold-rank dungeon boss. Its strength is bound to be beyond our imagination. My suggestion is that we avoid it for now.”
“You're so annoying.”
“What did you say?”
Lin Han went behind Yuan Si and kicked him inside.

“Lin Han, you bastard!”
Just as Yuan Si tumbled in, the dim palace instantly lit up. Countless torches along the walls flared to life, leading all the way to the throne at the deepest end.
“Don't shout. We're already on their turf. Keep calm, keep calm.”
Lin Han walked in with a grin. On the throne, there was no boss waiting for them. The entire great hall was empty, with only some murals left, as if recording the history of this race.
“Lin Han, you kicked me in just like that. What if the boss was waiting by the door? Wouldn't I have died on the spot?” Yuan Si cursed, hopping mad.
Lin Han said seriously, “Stop being noisy. The boss isn't in this dungeon right now. Could it be that we need to trigger some mechanism to release the boss?”
“I've never heard of that.”
Yuan Si had also forgotten what had just happened and turned his mind to serious matters.
“When we were at school, the teachers never told us about dungeons that require puzzle solving.”
Lin Han agreed. “Right, our teacher never mentioned that either.”
The two top students instantly fell into thought.
The next moment, the Eye of God suddenly burst open, and every line of sight poured into Lin Han's field of vision. He immediately spotted something off.
“Yuan Si, something's wrong with the throne. Go check it out.”
Hearing Lin Han's words, he didn't hesitate and walked over to the throne.
“Try moving it,” Lin Han reminded.
Yuan Si didn't hesitate either. He grabbed the throne with both hands and used all his strength to shift it. Veins bulged instantly, but the throne didn't move in the slightest.
“No good. It's too heavy. I can't move it at all.” Yuan Si breathed heavily, his arms now weak from the effort.
Lin Han came close to the throne and began to inspect it carefully. The next moment, the soil on the ground caught his attention.
