The dungeon was cleared in just 3 seconds.

In just 3 seconds, Lu Cang and Bai Lu's levels increased to 12, while Brave Warrior's level increased from 11 to 13.

Leng Qingying, on the other hand, leveled up from level 8 to level 11.

After securing the first kill, Lu Cang didn't waste any time. He skillfully opened the treasure chest and began distributing the equipment.

The extra rewards for the first kill are very generous, and getting the first kill will trigger the "leaving a name" effect of Lu Cang's talent.

You can get extra rewards.

Although it wasn't the world's first kill, the rewards were exceptionally generous due to the naming system.

This time, the treasure chest contained three pieces of silver-quality equipment, four pieces of bronze-quality equipment, and 130 gold coins.

In addition, there is the [Running Bird Horn], which is a very good mount in the early game.

Among the three pieces of silver equipment, there was a dagger that could trigger a bleeding effect upon a critical hit. Leng Qingying stared intently at that dagger.

Even though she didn't say it, her eyes betrayed her.

Lu Cang assigned the spirit-boosting ring to Bai Lu, and replaced the level 5 bracers with level 10 bracers for the Brave Warrior. He equipped all the other slots with bronze equipment to increase his constitution and make him more durable.

The attribute values ​​have been improved again. The strength value of the fearless warrior is now nearly 2000 points, and the constitution value is 340.

The health points have reached 5100.

Bai Lu's spirit value has also increased to 1120 points.

Leng Qingying, the only one in the team, is currently level 11 with only 82 agility points, and her best equipment is a level 3 bronze quality dagger.

The equipment gap is too big.

So much so that when Leng Qingying saw the silver dagger that dropped in the dungeon, she almost reached out to grab it.

Staring intently, his eyes seemed to say he wanted it.

Even the fearless warrior was intimidated by Leng Qingying's gaze.

I couldn't help but think: Why is this woman staring so wide-eyed?

After all the other equipment was distributed, it was finally time to decide who would own this dagger.

-------------------------------------

【Bleeding Silver Thorn (Silver)】

[Equipment Level: 10]

Agility +90

[Secondary Attribute: 10% Critical Hit Rate]

[Effect: Upon a critical hit, an additional bleeding effect is inflicted, dealing damage equal to the main attribute value over 5 seconds.]

-------------------------------------

Lu Cang held the dagger in his hand and twirled it twice, then smiled and said, "No one in our guild needs a dagger, so let's put it up for auction."

The gold coins from the sale will be split equally.

Upon hearing the allocation results, Leng Qingying hesitated, her hands opening and closing repeatedly.

This time, she was the one who had to lie down in the dungeon.

According to the unspoken rules of the fantasy world, she has no right to participate in the distribution of this item.

Being able to gain experience points without lifting a finger is already a pretty good deal.

Even knowing this, Leng Qingying still felt a little humiliated.

As the second-best assassin, she usually plays in older servers and is always invited by others to be the main DPS.

Today it's her turn to lie in and run the dungeon? She doesn't even have the right to distribute items?

"etc."

"I'll buy this dagger."

Upon hearing Leng Qingying's words, Lu Cang looked at her.

"1000 gold coins, fixed price."

"You!" Leng Qingying frowned when she heard Lu Cang's asking price.

"If you don't want it, I'll put it up for auction."

Leng Qingying gritted her teeth.

Under normal circumstances, a silver-quality dagger would definitely not sell for 1000 gold coins.

In the early stages, most players traded using copper and silver coins.

After all, 1 gold coin is worth 100 yuan.

but……

Leng Qingying frowned and said, "I'll buy it! But I don't have that many gold coins. Can I transfer it directly in World Coins?"

"Can."

"Okay, I'll transfer the money directly to your game account."

The game supports in-game account transfers, and the transferred funds can be withdrawn directly, which is quite convenient.

Anyway, it's the same to buy gold with World Coin.

Leng Qingying initiated the transfer directly.

A notification popped up in front of Lu Cang's eyes: [Your account has received 100,000 Phantom Coins]

Fantasy Coins can be withdrawn as World Coins at a 1:1 ratio; this is its only function.

In the fantasy world, there is no option to purchase any additional items through top-ups; everything depends on the player's own skills.

After the transaction was completed, Lu Cang said directly to Brave Warrior and White Deer, "This dungeon is cleared, next one."

"We're already behind schedule. Let's try to reach level 20 before everyone else does."

Leng Qingying didn't show any expression, but she was actually a little nervous inside.

Reaching level 20 before others reach level 10? Is that even human language? And you call that falling behind?

Leng Qingying glanced at the rankings; these few people had already occupied the top three spots on the ranking list.

Moreover, they dominate the rankings by a significant margin; currently, there are fewer than 50 players at level 10 on the leaderboard.

The number of players in the Fantasy Realm accounts for nearly 80% of the world's population, totaling as many as 11 billion.

Even considering the number of players in the newly opened servers of the third region, it should be around 3 billion.

And Cang Qiong and his group are among the top three out of these 3 billion. With such a ranking, Cang Qiong can still say that the progress is lagging behind.

Leng Qingying thought to herself, while Lu Cang turned to look at her and asked, "Are you coming along?"

Teaming up will not reduce the experience gained by each person. If a monster is worth 100 experience, then everyone will get 100.

Instead of 4 people each getting 25 points.

Leng Qingying doesn't belong to a guild; it's just a guild with one solo player. When leaving records, it will still be recorded as a guild.

Therefore, bringing Leng Qingying along won't cause any loss.

Leng Qingying hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded: "Yes, together."

She simply couldn't resist such a rapid leveling up. As a master, Leng Qingying also understood the importance of being ahead in levels.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Leng Qingying had a vague feeling that the heavens were playing tricks on her.

The feeling was like being trapped in honey and milk, waiting for her to succumb.

If this continues, it will turn into the Godslayer Guild.

Leng Qingying shook her head to clear her mind of the bad thoughts, thinking: How could I have such thoughts? It must be because I've been watching too much junk stuff.

After receiving Leng Qingying's consent, Lu Cang smiled and said, "Okay, let's go to Xionglin. There are more dungeons there."

-------------------------------------

In just one hour, the Godslayer Guild achieved the first kill of two dungeons in a row.

Moreover, the latest record is still an abstract 3 seconds.

Even more surprisingly, Leng Qingying's name also appears in this instance.

Leng Qingying is a well-known figure in the first district, a cold and aloof assassin and a great beauty.

Like an iceberg, they are unapproachable to strangers, yet they show no mercy when it comes to killing.

He only does things for money, never joins any guild, and has always been a lone wolf.

Even S-rank talent holders from major guilds have lost their lives to his blade.

And today, even such a powerful figure has joined the God Slaughter Guild. Just how strong must the God Slaughter Guild be now?

"If the Godslayer Guild originally had three S-rank members... then add Leng Qingying, an assassin who can kill S-rank members with her skills."

"Doesn't that mean the Godslayer Guild has four S-rank combatants?"

"Holy crap? That's way too awesome!"

"No, Leng Qingying shouldn't be counted. She's at most 0.5 S-level. She only takes on assassination missions. In a head-on battle, she's unlikely to be a match for someone with true S-level talent."

Has anyone reached level 10 and unlocked the leaderboard? Where is the Godslayer Guild ranked now?

"Right now, I guess only the elite teams from the eight major guilds can reach level 10. They can definitely reach level 10 after completing a level 5 Nightmare dungeon."

"Holy crap? Look! The Godslayer Guild posted an announcement!"

In the community, an announcement has become the most popular topic.

The Godslayer Guild is recruiting, only accepting S-rank members. Members of the Hidden Origin and Star Gate guilds are also eligible for refunds.

The poster of this post was none other than Cangqiong.

Upon seeing this news, countless players couldn't help but gasp in shock.

That's outrageous!

Only S-rank? Even the eight major guilds wouldn't dare say they only want S-rank.

Moreover, isn't this notice blatantly a poaching of players from the eight major guilds?

Aside from the activation codes, there are only ten owners of S-level talents. If the God Killing Guild snatches them all, what's the point of playing Kun?

The problem is that other guilds are dissatisfied but can only keep quiet.

The Godslayer Guild has already set two dungeon records, both of which are exceptional.

First kill and clear time records are the best form of publicity for a guild, symbolizing its strength.

Everyone has a scale in their heart.

When joining a guild, one should naturally choose the guild that best serves their interests and offers the best prospects for development.

The two first kills by the Godslayer Guild are undoubtedly adding chips to the scales. The more chips there are, the greater the probability that an S-level talent holder will join the Godslayer Guild.

-------------------------------------

[Hidden Origin Guild - Guild Base]

When Yin Chen saw the message on the community forum, his face crumpled up. This was the third time he had been chased for debt.

The first time was when Cangqiong shouted that line after emerging from the dungeon.

The second time was the video that was spread by someone called "One-Eyed Broken Eye". At the end of the video, there was also a message from Lu Cang demanding repayment of the debt.

The third time, this time, Lu Cang actually didn't forget to collect debts from them while posting recruitment requirements.

He scratched his hair in a gloomy manner.

He suddenly remembered what Lu Cang had said to him before he left: "But I think you might not want to see me for long."

If things continue like this, their Hidden Origin Guild will become a dishonest guild that can't even afford to spend 1 million gold coins.

The community discussions are now filled with questions like, "When will Yinyuan Guild finally pay back the money?"

News headlines like "Hidden Origin Guild Faces Financial Crisis, Unable to Pay 1 Million Gold Coins for Bet" are common.

To this day, the quality of new recruits for the Yinyuan Guild has not met expectations, with far fewer A-level and B-level ordinary members compared to other guilds.

"Damn it, pay me back, pay me back... You've disappeared without a trace, how am I supposed to pay you back?"

Yinchen is going crazy.

Since leaving Ash Forest, Sky has been nowhere to be found.

His legend can only be seen in the world's first kill announcements.

In the early recruitment phase, reputation is very important, and many newcomers do not join the guild.

This stage is also a good time to absorb fresh blood.

However, now that it has been labeled a dishonest guild, the public relations teams of other guilds are not forgetting to kick it while it's down and stir up trouble.

For example, something like: "Hidden Origin Guild is in trouble, teetering on the brink of disbandment."

Glorious Guild is recruiting! The most trustworthy guild!

...

Even the talent department has given feedback that some A-level talent players who were originally interested in joining have withdrawn their intentions.

The Hidden Origin Guild is eager to remove this reputation for dishonesty, but the problem is, Cang Qiong won't come out!

Yinchen sent a message to the reconnaissance department: "Has the Azure Sky still not been found?"

"Reporting to the Chairman, we haven't seen Cang Qiong and the others in Kaiyuanye. It seems they've left."

While Yinchen was still pondering a strategy against Cangqiong.

Another global announcement popped up in front of him.

Congratulations to players: Azure Sky, Brave Warrior, White Deer, and Cold Qingying for clearing the level 11 Nightmare difficulty dungeon - Grizzly Bear's Nest!

[Clearance Time: 00:00:13]

[Godslayer Guild has achieved the first kill of the Grizzly's Nest dungeon!]

Upon seeing this record, Yin Su's lips twitched.

I searched all over town for you, and all you did was turn around and get another first kill in a dungeon.

And yet, it's another 10-second clear record?

-------------------------------------

【Bear Forest - The Nest of Grizzly Bears】

Bear Forest is already a level 11 area, and the monsters here are mainly bears.

High attack and high health, but slightly slow speed.

It poses a significant threat to most players.

However, these bears posed no threat to Lu Cang's team. They easily cut through the enemy's defenses and quickly arrived at the instance area.

Upon entering the dungeon, Bai Lu skillfully activated Meteorite and instantly killed the boss in one smooth sequence.

The dungeon was cleared in just 13 seconds.

After leaving the Grizzly's Nest instance.

Lu Cang and the others received another upgrade to their equipment.

Leng Qingying had a cold face because she had just spent another 200,000 yuan to buy equipment from Lu Cang.

While she did have some money, Leng Qingying wasn't the owner of a major guild, and spending 200,000 on a single piece of silver equipment still made her feel the pinch.

Moreover, so far, none of this equipment has been used; basically, Bai Lu just enters the dungeon and instantly kills the monsters.

In other words, there's no enjoyment at all.

However, it must be admitted that Leng Qingying was somewhat moved after seeing Bai Lu's performance time and time again.

"Cangqiong, if I join your guild, can I really get the exclusive weapon?" Leng Qingying believes that the strength of Bai Lu and Brave Warriors largely comes from their exclusive weapons.

Lu Cang smiled slightly: "Of course, would you like to join?"

Leng Qingying stared at Lu Cang for a moment, then sighed, "Never mind."

She didn't know what she was so fixated on, but her long-standing habit of not joining a guild made her subconsciously resist joining the Godslayer Guild.

Once a habit is formed, it is very difficult to change.

To be honest, she couldn't find a reason to convince herself to refuse.

Refusal is entirely a subconscious habit.

For Leng Qingying, Lu Cang was merely taking her through dungeons, like the whispers of a demon in her ear.

"Join the Godslayer Guild! Once you join, you can get the exclusive weapon you've always dreamed of."

Leng Qingying shook her head, deciding to stop thinking about it.

Lu Cang wasn't in a hurry; he knew Leng Qingying's personality.

Lu Cang didn't say anything more about Leng Qingying's repeated rejections. Instead, he looked towards the next instance and said, "Let's go, next one."

This, however, left Leng Qingying feeling somewhat disappointed.

If Lu Cang were to invite me one more time...

As she walked, Leng Qingying opened the community and found that it was full of news about the Godslayer Guild.

This guild, appearing in the players' sights for the first time, has become a hot topic of discussion among all players.

After all, this was less than ten minutes, and they got two first kills in a row.

Enter the third instance.

[Giant Bear Den (Nightmare)]

This instance is a instance where monsters spawn in waves.

Just like in Ash Forest, you have to clear out several waves of monsters before a boss will appear.

Just when Leng Qingying thought that this kind of dungeon, which couldn't be cleared in one go, would finally give her a chance to shine.

boom!

A meteorite fell!

The wave of monsters was wiped out in an instant.

But then, a second wave of monsters appeared.

Just when Leng Qingying thought Bai Lu was about to enter a period of exhaustion, Bai Lu once again raised the calligraphy book!

call!

Another meteorite fell from the sky.

This caused Leng Qingying's pupils to shrink involuntarily.

What kind of monster is this player named Bai Lu? Summoning two meteorites in a row? Even an S-rank talent would be overpowered, right?

Boom!

Two waves of meteorites fell, and a sea of ​​fire raged.

The third wave of monsters didn't need to be actively cleared; they were burned to death by the continuous flames shortly after they were spawned.

-5291

-5192

-5921

-5929

Two overlapping seas of fire, dealing over 10,000 damage per second.

Even in the Nightmare difficulty dungeon at level 14, the monsters don't have that much health.

The third and fourth waves of monsters were instantly wiped out by the sea of ​​fire generated by the meteorite.

Leng Qingying didn't even have a chance to make a move.

After four waves of monsters, the boss finally appeared.

-------------------------------------

【Bison Giant Bear】

[Level: 18]

Health Points: 235,000

[Skills: Earth-shaking shockwave, Roar, Death Strike, Pounce, Meatball Crusher]

【Trait: Vigorous Life - Recovers 50% of the damage taken as health within 5 seconds.】

[Description: A giant bear with vigorous vitality and extremely strong regenerative abilities.]

-------------------------------------

Leng Qingying was about to make a move, but Lu Cang rushed out before her.

The weapon in Lu Cang's hands had somehow transformed into a giant sword.

[Five-Stage Powerful Slash] begins with a fierce dragon-like sword slash!

Immediately follow up with an A attack.

Moreover, this basic attack has been replaced with a charged attack.

Immediately following this is a series of four consecutive cuts followed by A.

Horizontal slash A, vertical slash A, diagonal slash A, diagonal slash A...

Dazzling and radiant.

It's hard to imagine that such smooth and fluid maneuvers could be performed with just a giant sword.

Greatswords have always been synonymous with being bulky and heavy.

In the end, Lu Cang's greatsword, which had been slashing upwards at an angle, changed to a downward slash!

Ground-Shattering Slash

The instant the Earth-Shattering Slash landed on the boss's head, Lu Cang flipped his wrist and changed the way he held the greatsword.

【Dragon Draws Sword Slash】—Draws sword diagonally

A slanted sword aura swept across, completing the final combo.

In just over a second, Cang Qiong unleashed a combo so smooth it was almost invisible to the naked eye.

And it was with a giant sword.

All you can see are layers of damage numbers floating out.

-

-7839

-8959

-

-108,427

...By the time they realized what was happening, the boss was already lying on the ground.

Even a master like Leng Qingying couldn't see exactly what happened.

-------------------------------------

【Dragon Draw Sword Slash: Charge for 1-5 seconds, unleash a sword draw slash that deals 4-50 times the user's strength as damage, with a range of 5-50 meters. Cooldown: 9 seconds. Each fully charged attack used during the cooldown period reduces the cooldown by 1 second. No resource cost.】

-------------------------------------

The Dragon's Sword Draw is a perfect match for the Fearless Warrior talent.

Only by fully charging can the cooldown time be reduced, which means that it takes time to charge up. As a result, the actual effect of reducing the cooldown time is often only a few seconds.

However, with the exclusive weapon, even normal attacks can reduce the cooldown of Fierce Dragon Sword Slash.

Someone like Lu Cang, who is fast enough to unleash a combo, can even unleash two Fierce Dragon Sword Slashes in a single second.

In the fantasy world, a good combination of talents, skills, and equipment can achieve a result greater than the sum of its parts.

Some mechanics may seem useless, but when combined with a certain talent, they can become extremely powerful.

As the giant bear Bisen fell.

The final boss was instantly killed by a combo attack, and the familiar world announcement popped up again.

[Congratulations to players: Cang Qiong, Yong Zhe Wu Wei, Bai Lu, Leng Qing Ying for clearing the level 14 Nightmare difficulty dungeon - Giant Bear Den]

[Clearance Time: 00:00:21]

[Godslayer Guild has achieved the first kill in the Giant Bear Den dungeon!]

-------------------------------------

Leng Qingying looked at the world announcement that appeared in front of her, but felt no joy.

Instead, an idea came to mind: it would be better if these dungeons were even more difficult.

That would make me look like someone who just freeloads.

After basking in the experience points for several rounds, Leng Qingying felt a little embarrassed.

She probably understood Lu Cang's scheme: he wanted her to owe him more favors.

Leng Qingying was really reluctant to give up this opportunity for rapid advancement.

Being able to gain such a significant level advantage at the start of the server is undoubtedly a huge advantage, and only a fool would give up such an advantage.

I'm afraid I'll have to owe this favor.

But then Leng Qingying slapped her face. Oh well, if she owed them too much, she could only join their guild as a matter of course.

It's time for equipment allocation again.

This time, a whopping five pieces of silver equipment were revealed.

The higher the dungeon level, the more equipment you'll get.

However, all of them were equipment needed by Lu Cang, Bai Lu, and the Fearless Warrior. Seeing this result, Leng Qingying breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, she suddenly realized that she was actually glad that the equipment she needed hadn't dropped.
