Chapter 43
Beginner Village Dungeon! Hell Difficulty!
The coordinates Qingyanwu gave us were behind the mine, below a low rock wall!
When Jiang Yan arrived, Qing Yanwu was already impatiently waiting.
"Jiang Taigong, you've finally arrived!!" Qingyanwu strode over, extremely anxious, and immediately sent a team-up request.
"What's the rush? The dungeon isn't going anywhere." Jiang Yan accepted the request, then looked around and asked, "This dungeon is pretty well hidden. How did you find it?"
"An anonymous player was selling the coordinates of the newbie village dungeon on the game forum," Qingyanwu said quickly, pulling Jiang Yan to the rock wall. "It was eventually bought by someone from the [Temple of War]!"
"How did you know?" Jiang Yan asked, then immediately realized how foolish he had been. He replied, "You have a spy from 'Red Beauty' in the 'War God's Hall'?"
"It's common practice for major guilds to plant spies in each other's territory," Qingyanwu said. "Many people probably already know these coordinates. People from [Prosperous Dynasty] and [Dragon Tiger Gate] could arrive at any time, so we need to hurry!"
As she spoke, Qingyanwu placed her hand on the rock wall.
Soon, a vortex appeared on the rock wall: [Welcome to the Trainee Lich Dungeon (maximum five players). Please select the dungeon difficulty.]
Easy, Hard, Nightmare, Hell
"Which one should we choose?" Qingyanwu turned to ask Jiang Yan.
"You've been inside, haven't you? What's it like inside?" Jiang Yan asked.
"I chose the hard mode before. After entering, there is a valley with a hundred skeleton warriors. After clearing them out, a bronze boss will appear. After defeating the boss, you can enter a small valley inside. There are fifty skeleton mages in the small valley, and finally the final boss of the dungeon, which is the lich in the fourth mine on the right!" Qingyanwu said quickly.
That silver boss?
Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow and immediately said, "Choose Hell!"
He was able to solo kill that lich with only 162 magic attack before, and now with 252 magic attack, plus the Azure Dance skill, he'll definitely need to play on Hell difficulty!
"Hell difficulty? Are you crazy?!" Qing Yanwu was startled, her charming eyes looking at Jiang Yan in disbelief.
"Trust me!" Jiang Yan said earnestly.
"Fine..." Qingyanwu nodded emphatically and snorted, "Anyway, I'm already on the whitelist, so it doesn't matter if I die. As long as you're not afraid."
Jiang Yan looked at the top of Qing Yanwu's head and, sure enough, he could no longer see her bright red name.
Previously in the swamp in the southern district, Jiang Yan and Qing Yanwu went on a killing spree. However, Qing Yanwu's number of kills was far less than Jiang Yan's, so she had already been cleared of the name several hours earlier.
"Jiang Taigong! You bastard!!" Suddenly, an angry and familiar voice came from afar.
Jiang Yan turned his head and saw a large group of players rushing towards them!
The one leading the group was none other than an old acquaintance: Young Master Wang of the Prosperous Era!
The Dragon's Roaming the World and the Tiger's Roaring in the Mountains from 【Dragon Tiger Gate】are also here!
Clearly, they already knew the coordinates of the dungeon, and the reason they gathered so many players was to try and get the first kill of the dungeon. They just didn't expect to run into Jiang Yan by chance!
"Hey, isn't this Young Master Wang, Young Master Long, and Young Master Hu?" Jiang Yan waved and greeted them with a smile.
"You bastard, let's see where you run to today!!" Young Master Shengshi roared angrily. More than a day had passed, and he had now leveled up to level 9, confident that he could fight against Jiang Yan!
Long Youtianxia and Hu Xiaoshanlin had grim faces and their eyes were full of killing intent!
The two were killed by Jiang Yan twice, especially deep in the Right Fourth Mine, where they were killed even when they joined forces. This feud was now firmly established.
"You bunch of rabble?" Jiang Yan sneered.
Although more than a day has passed and the players of [Prosperous Dynasty] have improved their levels and equipment a lot, it is impossible for them to reach the level of Jiang Yan!
The only thing that bothered Jiang Yan was the issue of being a red name!
"Never mind them, let's go into the dungeon!" Qingyanwu couldn't wait any longer, gritted her teeth, and chose [Hell Difficulty]!
The next instant, the two turned into white light and were swallowed by the vortex on the rock wall.
"Damn it, don't run!!" Young Master Shengshi rushed forward in a rage, but it was too late. He could only watch helplessly as the two disappeared into the vortex!
"Young Master Wang, what do we do next? Should we stay here or go into the dungeon?" Shengshi Wudu asked.
"Of course, we should go into the dungeon!" Long You Tianxia immediately said.
While killing Jiang Yan is important, it should never be compared to achieving the first kill in a dungeon.
Once the first kill is achieved, a nationwide system announcement can be made, which will be of immeasurable promotional value to the newly established [Dragon Tiger Gate]!
In comparison, killing Jiang Yan was a worse move!
Although unwilling, the young master of the prosperous era could only grit his teeth and nod: "Me, Long You Tian Xia, Hu Xiao Shan Lin, Sheng Shi Fa Sheng, and a priest will join us in the dungeon. The rest of you will stay here. If Jiang Taigong comes out, kill him immediately!!"
"yes!"
……
Inside the Hell difficulty dungeon.
The sky was overcast, like a giant black hand covering the valley, with not a ray of sunlight in sight.
"Are you sure it's a hundred skeleton warriors?"
Jiang Yan stood at the entrance of the valley and looked out. The huge valley was filled with skeleton warriors, densely packed like a white sea of bones!
Qing Yanwu's scalp tingled at the sight: "One hundred skeleton warriors is easy difficulty, this is hell difficulty!! The numbers are obviously different! And... these are level 9 enhanced skeleton warriors!!"
Enhanced Skeleton Warrior: lv9
Health: 2400
Skills: Slash (unleashes a sword aura, severely damaging the target), Leap Slash (leaps high into the air, with a very small chance to deal critical damage), Thrust (accelerates towards the target, unleashing a sword aura).
"Fine." Jiang Yan shrugged indifferently. Anyway, with his 252 magic attack, whether he enhanced or not, he would die!
He took the Death Scepter out of his backpack and casually entered the valley.
"Are we just going to walk over like this?" Qingyanwu was already level 9, but she still felt a sense of despair when faced with so many enhanced skeleton warriors!
"Otherwise what?" Jiang Yan retorted, and as he spoke, he began to chant a chain of lightning.
One second later, a bolt of lightning struck the head of an enhanced skeleton warrior. At the same time, the lightning bolt quickly split into three smaller bolts, which randomly jumped onto the heads of three nearby enhanced skeleton warriors!
-3225!
-2721!
-2721!
-2721!
Four crimson critical strike damage numbers cruelly floated above their heads!
[Ding~ Congratulations to the player for killing the enhanced skeleton warrior, experience +120] *4
After the four enhanced skeleton warriors died, they dropped six silver coins and a piece of basic equipment.
Qingyanwu was completely stunned when she saw the damage!
Although she had seen Jiang Yan's critical hit damage when they were fighting the Swamp Poison Crocodile before, it wasn't this outrageous!
How long has it been? Jiang Yan's critical hit damage has almost doubled!
Are hidden classes really that powerful?!
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and shoot the arrows! Don't let them get close!" Jiang Yan reminded her when he saw her standing there in a daze.
"Understood!" Qing Yanwu gritted her teeth, then nocked an arrow and began firing arrows at the charging enhanced skeleton warriors to slow them down.
Although it was only for a moment, it was enough for Jiang Yan to unleash his skill!
Chain Lightning + Lightning Bolt + Chain Lightning + Lightning Bolt...
Jiang Yan transformed into a mobile electromagnetic cannon, relentlessly unleashing firepower at the enhanced skeleton warrior. As his experience points increased by a staggering 120, the experience points for Jiang Yan's Chain Lightning skill also began to rise rapidly!
