Stop thinking about it and keep playing the dungeon.

Jiang Hao saw that there was no road ahead, only a wooden door on the wall directly opposite. He ordered the skeleton gnoll to open the door. Strangely, no matter how the skeleton gnoll swung its greatsword, the wooden door remained unmoved, like an iron fortress. Jiang Hao glanced around and saw several boxes of explosives piled on the ground next to the wall.

It's obviously a special item from the game.

Jiang Hao reluctantly got off Skull Deer No. 3 and moved the boxes of explosives to the front of the wooden door.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement, so Jiang Hao took a few steps back.

Finally, a phantom image of an armored soldier appeared, raised a torch, and lit the fuse on the box. With a bang, the dilapidated wooden door, along with the stones behind it, was shattered by the gunpowder, revealing a large cave behind it.

It was a relatively spacious mine shaft. Dozens of miners, armed with pickaxes and hammers, were bent over the edge, hammering and chiseling. Five or six miners pushed wheelbarrows, some full of ore, others empty, having just come in from outside. Everything was so orderly, it seemed somewhat eerie. The loud explosion hadn't caused any disturbance, nor had it attracted their attention.

Jiang Hao cast a detection spell over there.

Jiang Hao glanced around and found that the area was full of small monsters, with no elite monsters worth noting. He then ordered the skeleton gnoll to go and clear them out. With his high attack power, he didn't even need to use any skills; a single strike was enough to kill a small monster.

After clearing the entire area, Jiang Hao gained 28 experience points. He continued forward through the mine, clearing out several more waves of miner monsters along the way. Finally, he reached a platform where he saw three bosses standing, seemingly discussing something.

Standing in the middle is the level 8 [Miner Foreman], and standing on either side are the level 7 [Miner Supervisor] and [Miner Soul Reaper], respectively.

The three bosses have similar stats to the general we just saw; the skeleton gnoll can easily take on all three. But since we're in a hurry, let's just pull them over one by one and gang up on them.

Jiang Hao then waved his staff, and the miner foreman suddenly vanished from his spot. When he reappeared, he was right under Jiang Hao's staff, the stars above his head spinning, clearly indicating he was in a state of dizziness. The other two bosses, seemingly unaware of the miner foreman's disappearance, continued to chatter incessantly to the air in front of them.

Meanwhile, the attacks from the Skeleton Gnoll, Skeleton Shadow Wolf King, and Skeleton Turtle King rained down on the Miner Foreman like a storm. Before the 2.86 stun duration had even ended, the Miner Foreman had already fallen dead.

Jiang Hao was too lazy to open his backpack to check the equipment attributes again. After 5 seconds, the stun talent recovered, and he used the same method again to pull the [Miner Overseer] over.

What awaited him was an attack from the summoned creatures that surrounded him.

The miner supervisor couldn't hold on as long as the foreman; he collapsed to the ground in just over two seconds.

"Player detected defeating an elite monster of equal or higher level. Talent effect enhanced, damage increased by 100 points. Current stun duration 2.86 seconds, true damage 605 points."

......

Two seconds later, the [Miner Summoner] also fell victim to the Skeleton Gnoll's blade.

Jiang Hao led his summoned army forward through the sloping mine shaft. They occasionally encountered miners pushing carts, but these were easily dealt with by the skeleton gnolls. After rounding two bends, the view suddenly opened up, and waves of heat rushed towards them.

A furnace, about 30 meters high, appeared in the center of the cave, with paths on both sides leading to the top. Jiang Hao saw a miner pushing a cart, slowly pulling it down the mountain.

The skeleton gnoll charged forward, instantly killing the miner mobs.

Walking around the furnace, about 20 meters away, you can see dozens of shirtless blacksmiths, each around a small furnace, hammering away at the yellow metal. Further away, there's a particularly tall and imposing blacksmith with a large beard, a level 9 boss, wielding a huge iron hammer, also hammering away, seemingly forging some kind of equipment.

Without hesitation, Jiang Hao immediately ordered the Skeleton Gnolls to clear out the smaller monsters. With a wave of his staff, the level 9 Blacksmith boss was pulled beneath it. Then, the Skeleton Shadow Wolf King, Skeleton Sea King, and two Skeleton Wild Deer unleashed a barrage of attacks on him. Once the Skeleton Gnolls had cleared the smaller monsters, the level 9 Blacksmith finally fell dead.

"Player detected defeating an elite monster of equal or higher level. Talent effect enhanced, damage increased by 100 points. Current stun duration 2.86 seconds, true damage 805 points."

Gained 58 experience points

Obtain the equipment [Blacksmith's Shoes]

Obtain the equipment [Blacksmith's Anvil].

Leading his army of summoned creatures, Jiang Hao continued forward through the cave. The cave ascended, becoming increasingly steep, and Jiang Hao wondered if the end might be on a mountaintop.

Along the way, they encountered many monsters dressed as farmers, but instead of farm tools, these farmers carried gleaming knives. They stood cautiously in pairs on either side of the cave.

However, ordinary monsters were no match for the Skeleton Gnoll's attack. In just a short while, Jiang Hao, along with several summoned creatures, arrived at a platform.

Jiang Hao was taken aback by the sight before him, his eyes widening as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

On the platform, a 20-meter-tall cannon lay dormant in the center like a colossal beast. Its golden barrel gleamed, and its diameter was estimated to be around 6 meters.

Why would there be something like this in the mine?

Before Jiang Hao could think further, he saw a man in his fifties circle around from behind the cannon. The man was dressed in a black robe, and his beard was already gray. Looking at his head, there was no health bar, but Jiang Hao knew this man would definitely become the boss soon. Jiang Hao stood still, waiting to see what the boss would do and say.

"You bastard!"

The voice was shrill with a hint of madness. Jiang Hao was stunned.

No, why is this dungeon boss so rude?

Does he start cursing at people the moment he sees them?
