The Mine! Shi Dadan! A sweeping advance!

Swish!

As soon as Su Lin made his decision, a familiar feeling of dizziness washed over him.

Similar to the Blood Night Forest Secret Realm, the entrance to all outdoor dungeons is a fantastic and magnificent spatial portal.

However, the spatial gate of the special secret realm is exceptionally large, basically like a pillar of light reaching the sky.

The normal dungeon portal is related to the lowest difficulty level. In easy mode, it is the smallest, floating in mid-air, about two meters high, like a giant vertical eye.

The mine instance is at least on hard mode, and it's over four meters tall. There's also a one-meter-tall monument to the lower right of the portal.

This stele was not placed by human hands, but is a record inscription integrated with the spatial gate. Its material is neither gold nor stone, and it cannot be damaged.

It is a special item that only exists in permanent instances, and its function is also very magical. It can record the completion time of all clearing teams and even make a ranking.

Even more miraculously, the top ten teams that cleared the level and were recorded on the stone tablet would receive different rewards from the will of Heaven.

This reward is not tangible, but rather a kind of blessing.

The higher the ranking, the greater the reward.

Of course, the specific blessings that will be brought will vary depending on the difficulty of the dungeon. For example, the mine dungeon in front of us is of a slightly lower level and is not very difficult, so the rewards are not very generous.

Therefore, Su Lin didn't take it seriously at all, nor did he study this aspect.

However, his act of entering the instance alone was seen by many people nearby, who showed expressions of shock.

"Did I see that right? That kid went in alone?"

"I saw him too! I noticed him the moment he got off the bus. Judging by his age, he's obviously a recent graduate. How dare he solo a difficult dungeon?"

"With such confidence, could he be an S-rank genius from some family?"

"It shouldn't be. There are only so many geniuses who have awakened this year among the major high schools in Jiangyang City. I've seen photos of most of them, but not this one."

"That's right. Besides, all those geniuses have gone to special secret realms with rich experience, why would they come to this lousy place?"

murmurs and discussions arose from the crowd.

They all showed some curiosity on their faces.

Clearly, they wanted to see if this young man, who dared to solo a dungeon, could make it out of there!

If he can really come out, that would be really interesting. It would mean that a genius has come to this small place!

If you can't get out.

That would be even more interesting.

These days, it's easy to see such an overconfident idiot; it's quite a topic of conversation.

Su Lin didn't know what others thought.

At this point, he had already entered the instance.

【Ding! 】

[You have entered the dungeon - [Mine]. One exclusive key use has been consumed; 9 keys remain!]

[In Hard Mode, the strength of ordinary mutated creatures is increased by 2, the strength of elite mutated creatures is increased by 2, and the maximum BOSS rank is increased to Silver!]

[In Hard Mode, you'll receive a 10% experience bonus for defeating any mutated creature!]

[In Hard Mode, any member can exit the instance by returning to their initial spawn point.]

The so-called mines are not just a figment of imagination.

Su Lin observed his surroundings and found that it was indeed an abandoned mine that had been partially mined. However, the miners did not use modern tools, and there were no traces of modern tools nearby.

Su Lin was standing on a mountaintop, and looking out, he could see the winding mine tunnels descending, and at the bottom, a pitch-black mine pit.

This instance has been around for at least a decade, and there are guides everywhere, so even though it was Su Lin's first time here, he was not unfamiliar with the place.

"According to the guide, you will encounter rock monsters that emerge from the mountain as you go down, but that's just an appetizer. The real danger and the boss are inside the mine."

"The mine has two levels. The first level is guarded by three elite monsters, and the second level has two bosses."

"To be honest, it is indeed quite difficult for ordinary people."

"But for me, this place is a monster-slaying paradise—only benefits, no challenges!"

A hint of excitement flashed in Su Lin's eyes. Without hesitation, he summoned three beast pets, officially beginning his journey into the dungeon.

The reason Su Lin summoned all three monsters was that he planned to let them share the experience points, so that the Explosive Flame Python and himself wouldn't level up too quickly.

After all, if a pet exceeds the monster's level, it's a waste, and killing it won't grant evolution points.

"Explosive Flame Python, come on!"

With three pets protecting him, Su Lin navigated this difficult dungeon as if it were his own backyard, requiring absolutely no strategy and simply pushing through.

Soon, he encountered the first wave of monsters.

"Click click click!"

After advancing less than thirty meters, an unusual noise came from the stone wall on one side of the mine tunnel, and five 'stones' about the size of wolfhounds fell down.

The moment they landed, they made an even louder noise, and stone chips fell off, instantly transforming into pangolin-like creatures made of stone.

【Shi Dadan (Ordinary Mutant Monster)】

[Level: 20]

[Health Volume: 5720/5720]

Su Lin glanced at their stats. For this level, their health was indeed quite high, almost comparable to the Deadwood Warrior in Nightmare Mode.

However, this monster is clearly high in defense but low in attack, and its speed is not much faster. Compared with the withered wood warrior, its combat power is much weaker.

As for the Fiery Python, it was utterly insignificant.

"Boom boom boom!"

With a single ten-shot burst, Crimson Flame showed no regard for martial ethics.

The explosive bullet struck Shi Dadan, instantly killing him and his entire crew without any suspense.

[Defeated level 20 Shi Dadan, experience +139, pet experience +154, pet experience...]

[Defeated level 21 Shi Dadan, experience gained...]

【…】

Because of the experience shared by the Ironclad and Wind Spirits, the experience provided by these dungeon monsters is about the same as that of the Silver Star Wolves outside.

This would be a headache for others, but for Su Lin, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

As Lin Xiong had carefully chosen this instance, the number of monsters in the mine was indeed quite large!

After advancing only a few dozen meters, Su Lin encountered the second wave of Shi Dadan.

"Boom boom boom!"

This time, Su Lin didn't need to explain at all. Chi Yan opened his mouth and fired several explosive fireballs. Before they even had time to transform, they were directly reduced to fragments.

"Huh, not bad luck, I even got some equipment."

Su Lin looked down and saw a blue light shimmering beneath the piles of stone debris, clearly indicating a bronze artifact.

Even a mosquito is still meat, no matter how small. Although this bronze equipment could only fetch a few thousand yuan at most, Su Lin still bought it all.

Since he now has a spatial ring, he might as well take it; Su Lin is a thrifty person.

"Keep going, keep going!"

In the following time, the Fiery Python went completely wild.

Every few dozen meters there are several monsters, sometimes seven or eight, sometimes three or five. Although the experience is not much, these stone eggs are incredibly satisfying to kill instantly!

Most importantly, without the troublesome monster-hunting process, the evolution points increase rapidly through pure killing!

The entire outer mine tunnel took less than twenty minutes to traverse, and the Fiery Python amassed over seventy evolution points.

Inside the mine, the density of monsters will be even greater!

Now, not only was the Fiery Python thoroughly entertained, but even Su Lin was overjoyed.

At this rate of increase, if you spend four days in this kind of dungeon, not to mention the few thousand evolution points that the Explosive Flame Python is short, even the Raging Sea Rock Turtle has a chance to evolve to S rank!

"Let's go, let's go down the mine, let's have a good fight tonight!"
