"【Dungeon Scroll (Green): Danger and opportunity coexist. Use to teleport survivors to the dungeon - Enchanted Forest. The dungeon will not only contain wild beasts, but may also contain various magical creatures. The dungeon supports a maximum of 4 players in a team, with a time limit of 8 hours.】"

"This dungeon rewards you with talent and skill cards. Interested in joining?"

Zhang Shi glanced at the dungeon scroll and sighed softly.

"Every survivor who makes it onto the leaderboard has had some kind of extraordinary encounter."

Zhang Shi was very interested in this copy.

With the heavy snow blocking the entrance, all exploration activities by the survivors have been forced to a halt. This dungeon will undoubtedly provide a large amount of experience and high-quality resources, making it one of the few ways to maintain development and widen the gap with other survivors.

Zhang Shi did not hesitate.

"Okay, when do we leave?"

Ge Dalong quickly replied, "No rush, let's prepare first and set off at dawn tomorrow."

Zhang Shi nodded, thinking that processing the acquired resources first would reduce the dangers in the dungeon.

"Understood. One more question: how many people are in the team now?"

Ge Dalong paused for two minutes before replying.

"There are only the two of us right now. I'm sending private messages to the top-ranked survivors in the region."

Zhang Shi stroked his chin, understanding Ge Dalong's perspective. After all, this instance was dangerous, and most people would rather stay in the shelter and live off their savings than venture out and risk exploring.

The dungeon can be challenged in teams of four, which means survivors must raise the average skill level of their teams. Obviously, the simplest way is to recruit people from the newly released leaderboard.

"Zhao Feng, who is fifth on the leaderboard, is a friend of mine. I'll talk to him, and I don't think there will be any problems. I just don't know how you'll ensure everyone's safety."

Zhang Shi bluntly pointed out the most uncontrollable risk of this trip.

The four of them may have cooperated to some extent, but who can guarantee that everyone is without ulterior motives? Don't go through all that trouble to clear a dungeon only to be betrayed by your teammates.

"If you find a suitable candidate, bring him into the team. I trust your judgment."

"Once you join the team, teammates are immune to friendly fire. You don't need to worry about problems within the team."

Ge Dalong seemed to have been prepared, as he sent a team invitation.

This was the first time Zhang Shi had seen a team invitation, and he guessed that it might be a newly unlocked feature of the system.

Two new windows appeared in Zhang Shi's panel: one showing his own status and the other showing Ge Dalong's status. Curious, Zhang Shi clicked on Ge Dalong's information, and a task panel appeared before him.

Name: Ge Dalong

Race: Human

Level: 1

Rank: Common

Strength: 6

Agility: 6

Physical condition: 6

Magic: 6

Talent: None

Ability value: 6

"It's flipped six times!"

Zhang Shi sighed in admiration, and couldn't help but wonder how Ge Dalong could have such a high level of magic power.

After forming a team, the teammates' attributes were revealed. Ge Dalong was also checking Zhang Shi's attributes, his gaze falling on the Scholar talent. Ge Dalong was also a little surprised and muttered to himself.

"A mythical-level talent, if he continues to develop peacefully, will definitely allow him to completely dominate other survivors in terms of level. Is this the reward for first place?"

...

Zhang Shi made a video call to Zhao Feng, and the two of them, as usual, boasted to each other for a while.

Zhao Feng had a stroke of luck and opened a rare treasure chest containing a high-quality skill card.

"【Skill Card - Sweep (Green) x1: Requires a polearm. Deals 200% damage to all enemies within a 5-meter radius in front of you.】"

"Stone, do you like this skill? If you do, let's trade."

Zhang Shi smiled knowingly, declined Zhao Feng's offer, and took the opportunity to demonstrate his skills.

"Wow, Zi's skill! I knew it, you could have gotten first place, you definitely wouldn't be short of this kind of item."

Zhang Shi did not refute, but instead pulled Zhao Feng into the group.

There was a chat group in the team. Zhao Feng and Ge Dalong introduced themselves to each other, and then Ge Dalong stopped talking, presumably to go find the last member of the team.

Zhang Shi remembered that when he used the True Sense Appraisal to assess Zhao Feng before, Zhao Feng's ability value had already reached 6. Curious, he checked Zhao Feng's attribute values.

Name: Zhao Feng

Race: Human

Level: 1

Rank: Common

Strength: 10

Agility: 6

Physical fitness: 10

Magic: 0

Talent: None

Ability value: 6

At first glance, he had the typical attributes of a warrior. Zhang Shi smiled, thinking it suited Zhao Feng's character, since he had loved working out back in his school days.

After closing the system panel, Zhang Shi organized his equipment and prepared sufficient supplies for tomorrow's adventure.

Thinking about tomorrow's adventure, Zhang Shi felt a little excited, and coupled with having slept too much during the day, he had an unusual case of insomnia, tossing and turning for a long time before finally falling asleep.

The next morning, Zhang Shi got out of bed, feeling refreshed. He checked the time on the system panel; it was just past six. His eyes casually swept across the bottom of the system window and unexpectedly discovered a fourth character window. It seemed that Ge Dalong had also found the last member of the team.

Clicking on it reveals a familiar face.

Name: Wu Qing

Race: Human

Level: 1

Rank: Common

Strength: 4

Agility: 4

Physical condition: 11

Magic: 4

Talent: None

Ability value: 5

Zhang Shi stared at Wu Qing's physical attributes, which made her even taller than Zhao Feng, and recalled her appearance in the video.

"I remember this girl being quite slim. Does this wilderness world video also use beauty filters?"

There's a message Ge Dalong posted last night in the team chat group.

"We'll depart promptly at dawn tomorrow. Everyone, please prepare in advance."

The chat group was silent at this moment. Zhang Shi guessed that everyone was still asleep, so he got up, washed up, and prepared breakfast.

The snowstorm outside unexpectedly subsided, and because the snow was cleared in time, the snow in the yard did not pile up too high, which saved Zhang Shi a lot of trouble.

Zhang Shi opened the window to let in some fresh air, and he wondered if it was because his physical condition had improved, but the temperature outside didn't feel so cold anymore.

Some perishable foods were stored in the outer warehouse.

In this kind of weather, nature is the best refrigerator; in less than an hour, the fresh meat will be frozen as hard as a rock.

Breakfast was leftover hot pot from yesterday. Zhang Shi also cooked some noodles and quickly filled his stomach.

Knowing he was going out today, Zhang Shi wasn't sure if Pipi could come along, so he roasted some more ribs in front of the fireplace, prepared some well water, and, holding Pipi, gave her a heartfelt warning.

"Pipi, I have to go out for a while and may not be back until tonight. During this time, you must behave yourself and take good care of the house. Eat meat when you're hungry and drink water when you're thirsty. Don't be naughty. If there's any danger, don't go out. Just stay inside and wait for me to come back. Do you understand?"

Pipi understood Zhang Shi's meaning, and looked at him with a pitiful expression, clearly wanting to go out with him as well.

"Buzzing~"

There's a message in the team chat group.

Zhang Shi opened it and saw that it was sent by Ge Dalong.

"Is everyone ready? I'll start the dungeon once everyone's ready."
