Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 316: Chapter 251: High-Dimensional Divine Hall on the Island

’This island, these monkeys, this woman...’

It reminded Wang Yi of a certain Island Lord, the sole person in the Eight Hundred Li Sea Region.

He rode the Starlight River down to the island. The monkeys scattered in fear, and the sunbathing woman let out a cry. But then, her expression turned to one of pleasant surprise as she said, ”A person! You’re a person!”

”Is that any way to talk to someone?”

Wang Yi reached out and pushed the woman aside. He was more interested in the blue Treasure Chest she was lying on.

This wasn’t a wild Treasure Chest, but a special storage item called the Blue Jade Treasure Chest, which had 300 Storage Compartments.

When he opened the lid, a storage panel popped up. Wang Yi glanced over it and saw three hundred Storage Compartments laid out in neat rows, more than half of which were already filled with items.

As for the contents, there were Deep Sea Pearls, Ice Crystal Coconuts, a Giant Clamshell Shield, Oceanic Leather Shorts, Water Spirit Pearls, Earth Spirit Pearls, Crown Bananas, and so on!

’Good stuff. I’m taking this chest!’

Delighted, Wang Yi tapped his Starlight Bracelet and stored the Blue Jade Treasure Chest away.

He then turned to the blonde woman and asked, ”Are you the woman who eloped because her romantic fantasies couldn’t be satisfied?”

”What?” The blonde woman clearly didn’t understand. With tears welling in her eyes, she said, ”I am stranded here, imprisoned by the island’s monkeys. Please, sir, rescue me.”

”Imprisoned by monkeys? You looked pretty comfortable to me a moment ago.”

Wang Yi had no desire to watch the woman’s act. He turned and surveyed the small island. He was now certain he had arrived on the isolated, mid-ocean island of that specific Island Lord. He wondered what had become of the Lord. Judging by the blonde woman’s relaxed demeanor, even if the man was still on the island, he probably wasn’t having a very good time.

Just then, a group of large monkeys emerged from the island’s jungle. They were howling, their builds as burly as Giant Apes, with red eyes and long tails.

The one in the center was covered in black fur and had an especially powerful build. Standing upright, it was likely close to three meters tall.

Yet, the gaze of this black-furred giant monkey held a spark of Spiritual Wisdom. It approached Wang Yi and let out a series of guttural roars, as if trying to communicate with him.

Wang Yi couldn’t understand what it was saying, but he could see its status information.

[Black Monkey King: An A-rank story character. A wandering prince from a certain tribe, and a Starry Exotic Beast cast down into the Newbie World by an unknown force. He is highly intelligent and possesses Potential Level combat power in his normal state. Under the moonlight, he can undergo a Transformation into a terrifying Giant Ape, losing all reason, with combat power that can rise to King Level. He has Destruction potential. The Black Monkey King yearns for the Starry Sky and longs to return to his homeland. Interact with him and help him enter the Starry Sky building on Black Monkey Island to receive a mysterious reward.]

Meanwhile, a large number of the red-eyed, black-furred monkeys were holding the blonde woman down, while a few smaller monkeys approached Wang Yi, offering him bananas and coconuts.

Seeing this, Wang Yi felt the monkeys on the island were actually quite friendly.

He laughed, used his Starlight Bracelet to store the bananas and coconuts from the small monkeys, and said to the Black Monkey King, ”My name is Wang Shanhe. I’m new here, so I hope you’ll show me some courtesy!”

A smile appeared on the Black Monkey King’s face. He clearly understood Wang Yi’s words. He then raised a hand and pointed toward a distant mountain peak, as if to lead Wang Yi there.

Wang Yi asked, ”Is the Starry Sky building over there? Are you inviting me to explore it?”

The Black Monkey King nodded.

’I happen to have some free time, so I might as well take on this Black Monkey King’s quest,’ Wang Yi thought. Then he said, ”Alright, I’ll go with you. Let’s see what this so-called Starry Sky building is all about!”

Just then, the blonde woman cried out, ”Sir, please save me! I’m willing to offer myself to you in return!”

”You may be willing, but I’m not interested. You can’t pin your romantic fantasies on me!” Wang Yi shot the woman a glance before asking, ”Is Chen Youzhi still alive?”

”Huh? Chen Youzhi? You... How do you know that name?”

”Less talk!”

”He’s dead. He challenged the Monkey King and was slaughtered.”

”And it was your fault, wasn’t it?”

Wang Yi shook his head. ’It’s not easy being a Lord Player,’ he thought. ’It’s all too easy to die young. Being the only person in the Eight Hundred Li Sea Region is no guarantee of a safe development.’

A short while later, Wang Yi saw the ruins of Chen Youzhi’s domain. There was a fishpond, a crude factory, and a small castle, but all these structures had lost their function and were completely abandoned.

There was no ”loot” to be collected here.

After passing through the ”ruins,” Wang Yi followed the Black Monkey King’s party up a small mountain. This mountain was covered in a great number of strange coconut and banana trees, and a small palace stood at its summit.

To Wang Yi’s surprise, it was a ”High-Dimensional Divine Hall”!

[Ruined High-Dimensional Divine Hall: Condensed from the Chaotic Void and fallen from Beyond the Heavens. It is only partially functional. Players with the Descender identity can use it to register, as well as view and accept simple descent missions.]

Wang Yi couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy upon seeing the information for the [High-Dimensional Divine Hall].

After all, he was a Player who possessed a [Descent Certificate]. Others couldn’t enter the High-Dimensional Divine Hall, but he could.

However, a stone lion statue was crouched in front of the High-Dimensional Divine Hall. As Wang Yi tried to approach, the statue suddenly came to life. Golden light emanated from its body as its stone skin shattered and fell away, revealing a Golden Lion. It bared its fangs and brandished its claws at Wang Yi and the Black Monkey King, blocking their path.

[Golden Lion Guard: LV 66, a unit with King-level Combat Power, the guardian of the High-Dimensional Divine Hall in this region.]

Wang Yi scoffed inwardly upon seeing the Golden Lion Guard’s information. ’Just a mere King-level guard? I could destroy it with a flick of my wrist!’
