nChapter 17

nLin Chen and Liu Mengyao entered the dungeon.

nAt the same time, they summoned both pets.

nThe Vermillion Bird and the Stegosaurus.

nThey were all Level 100.

nThe Vermillion Bird’s magic attack had already reached 56,000 points.

nIt was a terrifying cannon.

nIn the Instance Dungeon, the first monsters were the Giant Apes.

nThe generals of the Giant Ape Tribe were attacking the South-Heaven Gate.

nAt this moment, Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao saw a Heavenly God beside them. However, the other party was already on the verge of death. However, Lin Chen knew very well that this was just the storyline.

nHe skipped the dialogue.

nAfter all, he was here for a speed run.

nImmediately after, Liu Mengyao commanded the Stegosaurus to go forward and attract the ape’s attention.

nWhen the giant ape attacked the Stegosaurus, it triggered its skill, Roar of Vengeance!

nWith a roar, it attracted the aggro of the surrounding apes.

nAt this moment, Lin Chen did not waste any of his skills. He immediately got the Vermillion Bird to start chanting and directly activated its innate skill, Scorching Heaven and Earth. The entire map area immediately turned into a huge fire.

nWith Stegosaurus tanking the monsters, all Liu Mengyao had to do was focus on healing Stegosaurus. Lin Chen was not idle either. He started chanting as well…

nForbidden Curse!

nStorm Force Field!

nStorm Force Field (Forbidden Spell): After using it, a 500-yard radius around you will become a storm field. Wild winds will continue to wreak havoc, dealing 0.75 Magic Attack Damage per second to all targets. At the same time, all targets’ Movement Speed and Attack Speed will be reduced by 50%. At the same time, your Movement Speed, Casting Speed, and Attack Speed will all increase by 50%. Duration: 10 minutes. Magic Cost: 8,000 points. Chanting time: 10 seconds. Cooldown: 30 minutes!

nAn incomparable crowd control skill!

nThe reason why this skill was a forbidden spell was because not only did it deal damage, but it also had extremely strong crowd control abilities.

nIn a legion battle, it could be said to be a method that could determine victory or defeat.

nIn addition, wind-type spells could also produce chemical reactions with fire-type spells.

nThe wind fueled the fire!

nWhen Lin Chen used his forbidden spell, the flames intensified, and the damage value increased. All the giant apes that were attracted by Stegosaurus were covered in huge, scarlet numbers…

nThe health of these giant apes was constantly decreasing.

nBut this was a level 100 dungeon!

nIt was also the most difficult dungeon before the new expansion pack was released.

nThe Giant Ape Warriors in front were all mob monsters, but there were a total of 8,000 of them. Moreover, each of them had more than 100,000 HP.

nWhy was this dungeon so difficult?

nFirst of all, the difficulty that Lin Chen chose was the highest difficulty, Hell-level!

nFurthermore, the Southern Heavenly Gate Dungeon did not have any fancy things. For example, in other Dungeons, as long as one destroyed some arrays, they could destroy the buffs of various monsters. They could even add various buffs to their own members before killing monsters.

nThere were some instance dungeons where you could make monsters get stuck and tricks like that.

nHowever, there were no arrays for you to buff yourself in the South-Heaven Gate.

nIt was unrealistic for him to build an array formation right there because it would take a lot of time.

nTherefore, he could only attack crazily!

n8,000 Giant Ape Warriors, and these were just mob monsters.

nEach monster had 100,000 HP, and 8,000 of them had 800,000,000 HP!

nOne had to forcefully deal 800 million damage in order to pass the first stage and eliminate all the small monsters.

nIt was easy to clear the small monsters, but if he wanted to speed run, he had to deal enough damage!

nIn reality, if Lin Chen could find some people that did not have a First Clear of the Southern Heavenly Gate, he would definitely find a few more teammates. However, this game had been around for 20 years, and there were many players at the maximum level. There were very few players like Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao who did not have a First Clear.

nMoreover, many people were deleting their accounts now, so it was even more impossible to find them.

nLin Chen could only rely on himself and the two pets.

n“Stegosaurus, stop roaring. You can shift the aggro now. These monsters can’t catch up to it. Tell Stegosaurus to accelerate and lure more monsters in!” Lin Chen immediately communicated with Liu Mengyao.

nLiu Mengyao’s gameplay was smooth as well.

nIn fact, such a VR game did not have a keyboard or controller.

nThe so-called controls relied on your own reaction speed.

nAs long as you weren’t in a daze, your reaction speed was usually within seconds.

nAlso, people who played this game for a long time would react faster and faster. Some people had specially published some research in this aspect, saying that this game could indeed train people’s reaction speed.

nThat was why this game was so popular on the entire Blue Planet and had more than a billion players!

nStegosaurus stopped roaring and jumped around to lure the monsters.

nIt circled around and actually brought a few elite monsters with it.

nThese elite monsters were also called Great Ape Generals.

nTheir HP was thicker and their attack power was stronger. Even the Stegosaurus had been reduced to critical health after running around. Fortunately, Lin Chen’s reaction was fast and his speed was even faster. In the Storm Force Field, Lin Chen’s movement speed had already exceeded 30 yards per second!

nHe immediately moved to Stegosaurus’ side and used a skill on himself…

nWind Spirit Technique: After using it, the probability of dodging physical attacks is increased by 50%. Ignores all 100% accuracy effects. Duration: 30 seconds!

nThis was a Wind Mage’s life-saving skill with a one-minute cooldown. In PvP, the Wind Spirit Technique was a godly skill. Although its skill effect was simple and the introduction was short, it was actually a skill that gave all physical classes a headache.

nThis was because as long as a Wind Mage activated Wind Spirit Technique, even a sharpshooter would find it difficult to hit him.

nHence, Lin Chen was able to take Stegosaurus’ place in tanking the monsters, giving Liu Mengyao time to heal the Stegosaurus.

nOf course, with a 50% chance of dodging, Lin Chen would still be hit.

nHowever, Lin Chen could still control things. He only needed to deliberately dodge the attacks of the Giant Ape Generals.

nThe attacks of the Giant Ape Warriors could not kill Lin Chen.

nHe still had equipment that could protect him from damage!

nAfter the exchange, Lin Chen used his speed to pull these monsters towards the Vermillion Bird. The Vermillion Bird didn’t need to move at all. It just needed to stay comfortably in its original position and look at the densely packed Giant Ape monsters chasing after its master and Stegosaurus. It could just prepare its skills!

nThe next moment, the Vermillion Bird activated its skill, Sun Scorch!

nUnder the effect of the Storm Force Field, it assisted the Vermillion Bird’s flames in burning almost every single spark on these giant apes. At the same time, as the initiator of the Storm Force Field, Lin Chen could also control the direction of the wind in the Storm Force Field. While dealing damage, he could also control their movement speed.

nA minute later, these monsters were all at critical HP.

nIn the meantime, Lin Chen and Liu Mengyao had both leveled up, but neither of them looked happy. It was too early to be happy. Liu Mengyao used a few large-scale healing skills to restore Stegosaurus’s vitality.

nThen, Stegosaurus rushed out to lure the monsters in another direction.

nOnly three minutes had passed since the start of the battle.

nHowever, in the killing field created by the Storm Force Field and the Sun Scorch, there were already more than 1,000 corpses of the Giant Apes!

nThis efficiency was completely enough!
