First experience with the dungeon

“Is that it?”

Bai Youyou looked up at the sky.

“What are you looking at?”

“Why isn’t there a world announcement for such a big event?”

Yang Jian rolled his eyes.

“Are you saying our reputation isn’t big enough?”

“Isn’t a big reputation good? Only when the guild has a good reputation can we recruit new members more effectively!”

That’s true… “The guild is full now. You still need to thoroughly research the guild points system and figure out how to motivate members to actively complete guild tasks…”

“Understood. Xiao Yue and I are working on that!”

“Alright then. I’ll take Xiao Mo inside to explore the basic situation. We can talk more after I come out of the dungeon!”

Bai Youyou looked a little worried when she heard Yang Jian was going in alone.

“Should I go in with you?”

“No… If you were a tank or a healer, you might be useful. Otherwise, if I go in alone and can’t win, at least I can still escape…”

Bai Youyou’s usual elegant composure almost cracked, and her eyes darted around, looking for a handy weapon.

Seeing her expression, Yang Jian didn’t dare to truly anger her.

He chose the Undead Graveyard dungeon and entered.

With a blur, Yang Jian appeared directly next to a large mountain in the suburbs.

It was the same mountain where the graveyard was located when Yang Jian cleared out Levan Carlisle.

【Name: Paladin’s Lament Dungeon】

【Description: A special trial ground engraved by a wondrous item: the Dungeon Stone! Dungeon death means no soul power consumption for resurrection!】

【Note: Partially optimized. Please do not apply Newbie Village clear experience…】

Yang Jian felt a bit relieved when he saw that dungeon death wouldn’t affect his future.

What kind of game doesn’t let people take risks with their lives?

Yang Jian had always played this game cautiously, treading on thin ice!

Now, knowing that dungeon death didn’t matter, he felt much more relaxed.

But seeing that it had been partially optimized, he became cautious again.

He took Xiao Mo and headed up the mountain.

On the way up, scattered undead could already be seen circling.

Yang Jian frowned. It was indeed different.

After all, there were no decaying corpses wandering the mountain path before reaching the graveyard last time.

【Rotten Corpse, LV15】

【Undead Race】

…Is this right?

Weren’t all monsters in Newbie Village level 10 back then?

Could it be that Newbie Village limited their abilities?

Without thinking too much, Yang Jian simply went all out and crushed them.

Mo Song, when attacking monsters, was absolutely unwilling to bite; he just scratched and scratched with his right claw!

Fortunately, Little Sea Turtle diligently pulled aggro and attracted hatred!

Too bad they encountered Yang Jian and Mo Song, these two sly characters. Although their attack power was incredibly high,

with one Misdirection and one Mislead… the monsters never looked at them!

Yang Jian looked at Xiao Mo with a hint of disdain.

“You’re quite the assassin. You don’t know two skills, but you’re pretty good at Mislead…”

Mo Song let out a howl, and this time, Yang Jian understood.

‘When traversing the world, stability comes first!’

After clearing out the decaying corpses on the mountain path, Yang Jian’s mood relaxed.

Just as he was bonding with Mo Song,

a whooshing sound came from behind him.

Before Yang Jian could react, he was sent flying.

Because he was on the edge of a slope, Yang Jian was knocked back over twenty meters by a single blow, landing on the mountain path.

-300, -1200 (fall damage)

Looking at his remaining health, just over six hundred.

Landing in a cloud of dust, the disheveled Yang Jian stood up, gasping for breath!

You scared your dad to death!

Mo Song’s movements were very fast.

He used Mislead on the turtle, then circled behind and started a furious output.

Yang Jian quickly ran back.

Before he could even steady himself, Little Sea Turtle was also sent flying by a heavy blow, landing motionless on the distant slope!

“Fight by the tree!”

Yang Jian used Misdirection on Mo Song.

Then, Hunter’s Mark and Aimed Shot, a set of skills, were unleashed.

【Corpsefire, LV20】

【Undead Race, Dungeon BOSS】

【Health: 2 million】

【Concealment, Knockback, Ghost Strike, Frost Damage, Triple Attack…】

Looking at the long list of skills, Yang Jian’s face darkened.

But looking at the BOSS’s health, only two million?

Considering this was a dungeon BOSS, and only five people could fight it, he felt relieved!

However!

If that knockback just now was combined with this Ghost Strike, and he was sent flying another meter or two,

the fall damage upon landing… Yang Jian would definitely have died on the spot… If his first death in this game was due to an accidental sneak attack… He couldn’t even imagine it, absolutely couldn’t!

He resurrected Little Sea Turtle and had it aggro the BOSS by the tree trunk!

Xiao Mo, being an assassin, could greatly increase his damage by backstabbing.

Although his innate shadow damage ignored resistance and dealt full damage, the backstab damage was an additional bonus.

The dungeon BOSS’s health was much higher than outside, so every point of damage was precious!

Little Sea Turtle reluctantly went to work, while Yang Jian and Xiao Mo continued to unleash their full damage output.

A blue light flashed on the BOSS, and a triple attack instantly killed Little Sea Turtle again… At that moment, Yang Jian clearly realized that this guy really couldn’t keep up with his pace.

Before he could finish his lament, the BOSS turned around and unleashed a Ghost Triple Attack on Xiao Mo.

-1500, -3000, -4500

It was only because Xiao Mo was of blue quality, and the Direwolf’s racial trait was higher health than humans.

But Xiao Mo was, after all, in an unarmored state.

With that damage, unless it hit a MT, there would be little room for recovery.

Anyone else hit by it would probably die on the spot!

He pulled Little Sea Turtle, who was once again on the road to the underworld, back to tank the BOSS.

He noticed that Little Sea Turtle’s mood and loyalty had dropped significantly… No choice, for our cause, you’ll just have to suffer a bit first!

Yang Jian, with his stationary damage output, could be called an unparalleled national talent!

In less than five minutes, the two-million-health dungeon BOSS lay dead.

It died clean and quick.

He checked the BOSS drops.

Yang Jian frowned.

Four level 20 purple items, three level 20 blue items, no materials, nothing else.

Aside from the decent experience, only seven pieces of equipment lay there quietly.

The dungeon monsters’ difficulty was lower than those outside, so the rewards would naturally decrease!

Both in quantity and quality!

The only benefit, though, was not having to search everywhere for a BOSS to fight… He collected the loot.

Yang Jian couldn’t wear a single piece of it right now!

Looking at the quality of the equipment, it did match the characteristics of equipment at this level.

No longer dwelling on other things, Yang Jian continued to explore.

Having been ambushed by Corpsefire once, Yang Jian finally became serious.

He no longer slacked off while traveling, and his intense focus even affected Mo Song and Little Sea Turtle.

There were many more monsters in the graveyard than when he was grinding in the wild before.

But they were scattered quite far apart.

Not far away, the entrance to the great graveyard was still similar to the one where Levan Carlisle had stayed.

He used Misdirection on the Little Sea Turtle beside him, and Yang Jian shot an arrow at a group of monsters nearby.

Then they howled and charged towards the Little Sea Turtle next to Yang Jian… Little Sea Turtle, resigned to its fate, activated its Turtle Shell Armor, and a layer of earthy yellow light enveloped it.

It lay flat, letting the decaying corpses and ghouls beat it!

Yang Jian was fast, and Mo Song was even faster!

The two unleashed a set of skills, and the Turtle Shell Armor skill hadn’t even finished.

This group of about ten dungeon monsters was already dead.

And the wild monsters not far away continued doing whatever they were doing, completely unfazed!

Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief.

He had basically figured out the dungeon monsters’ mechanics.

They had traded intelligence for power.

If this were outside, wouldn’t they all rush forward in this situation?

Now their indifference gave Yang Jian many opportunities… The subsequent battles would be simple!

In less than half an hour, over a hundred undead monsters wandering around the graveyard were killed by Yang Jian.

After cleaning up the battlefield, Yang Jian waited cautiously for a while.

No new BOSS came out to cause trouble, so he entered the great graveyard with a mix of relief and regret!

He fought his way through, and Yang Jian once again stood before the gatekeeping BOSS.

【Corrupted Paladin, LV20】

【Undead Race, Dungeon BOSS】

【Health: 3 million】

【Consecration, Judgment, Undead Summon, Death and Decay, Shadow Bolt…】

It wasn’t Levan Carlisle, so overall, it was fine.

At least Kassan’s efforts weren’t in vain.

He had taken her druid king ring because he wanted to help her husband find peace… If he really ended up in a dungeon, dying eight hundred times a day!

He would truly feel that the ring was a bit hot to handle!

The current situation, overall, was developing in a good direction.

Although it was a Corrupted Paladin, the template was still designed and arranged according to Levan.

Back then, a level 7 Yang Jian could bring him down with two small useless companions.

Not to mention now, Yang Jian, who felt incredibly powerful… In less than five minutes, the Corrupted Paladin fell unwillingly at Yang Jian’s feet, without even a sigh of regret!

He checked the loot.

Indeed, it was just equipment and experience!

There were no surprises whatsoever.

After exiting the dungeon, Bai Youyou was no longer waiting there.

Yang Jian turned and walked into the adjacent dungeon.

Two minutes later, Yang Jian scrambled out of the dungeon.

【Dungeon: Paladin’s Lament Dungeon, recommended level 15+】

【Dungeon: Hai Chao Village Dungeon, recommended level 30+】

With Yang Jian’s attack power, going in to fight these wild monsters, his damage was reduced to an unacceptable degree.

The lowest-level murlocs inside were level 30 dungeon monsters.

It wasn’t impossible to defeat them with some effort, but just for a dungeon, the effort and reward were completely disproportionate… With that time, he could go find level 23 wild monsters and make them cry home to their mothers!

Yang Jian, turning to re-farm the Paladin dungeon, searched every corner of the dungeon, but found nothing… After much research, he finally concluded that dungeons automatically reset at 5 AM daily!

Well, it seems his wish to level up by lounging in Zhenhai City couldn’t be realized!

Yang Jian sent a copy of his Paladin’s Lament clear video to Bai Youyou.

Yang Jian: You write a text guide. Don’t let this video of mine get out.

Bai Youyou: Received. What about the other dungeon?

Yang Jian: It’s level 30. Can’t do it!

Bai Youyou: I’m stunned. There are still wild monsters you can’t beat?

Yang Jian: … Bai Youyou: Then I’ll post the announcement in the guild, okay!

Yang Jian: Post it!

【Guild Message: The guild stronghold has two new internal dungeons: ‘Paladin’s Lament’ starting at level 15, and ‘Hai Chao Village’ starting at level 30. Players interested in clearing dungeons, please download the text guide from the guild group! Dungeons reset daily at 5 AM!】

At this, the guild members, who had just been discussing the moon’s mutation, erupted.

“This game… actually has dungeons!”

“I thought I’d never get to farm a dungeon in this lifetime!”

“Where are the dungeons?”

“Didn’t it say? Guild stronghold…”

“It needs level 15… And there’s a level 30 dungeon? That seems a bit too hard!”

“Still chatting in the group? Hurry up and level up to farm dungeons…”

“Exactly. Why don’t you learn from the strong? Look at Tian Mu, does he chat in the group?”

“He doesn’t chat in the group!”

“He doesn’t chat in the group, that’s why he’s a big shot…”

“Now look at Guild Leader Baiyun, does she chat in the group?”

“She does chat in the group… She talks happily with us all day long!”

“She’s a big shot, that’s why she has time to chat in the group. Do you have time too?”

“If you’re so brave, don’t hide your ID? I want to get to know you at the stronghold first…”

Yang Jian, occasionally lurking, could only lament that silly youths had more fun!

Since his hope of leveling up by lying around in Zhenhai City was shattered, Yang Jian could only pack his bags and set off again!

Destination: Nightshade Town!
