As time went by, more and more groups cleared the fourth stage.
Most of them were in a terrible state, their clothes torn, covered in countless wounds, and reeking of blood. They were taking life-saving and energy-boosting potions to recover.
Some people have already been eliminated and don't even qualify to enter the third ring.
Suddenly, countless white beams of light descended from the sky, enveloping all the students who had passed the fourth level.
Swish swish——
All the students instantly disappeared in the fourth ring and reappeared in different locations in the third ring as teams.
At this moment, Ye Chen appeared in a pitch-black forest with extremely low visibility.
Fortunately, he possesses the gift of the True Eye, which greatly enhances his vision, allowing him to perform well even in such an environment.
Ye Chen quietly surveyed his surroundings. The dark forest was extremely quiet; even the slightest rustling sound would be extremely jarring.
The monsters here are patient hunters, hiding in the branches and bushes, launching sudden attacks on their prey, making them impossible to defend against.
Ye Chen sensed the map information provided by the spirit of the dungeon. The area of the third ring was very large, with nearly a thousand red dots on the map, distributed in various places.
Each red dot represents a student. Judging from the distribution on the map, the students are quite far apart, and they are unlikely to meet easily in a short period of time.
The third ring contains 50,000 ordinary monsters, as well as a number of elite monsters and boss monsters. All monsters must be cleared before you can enter the second ring.
Ye Chen gripped the Ancient Demon Bow tightly in his hand, and the Divine Shield was activated instantly, giving him a great sense of security with a shield value of up to 200,000.
Click—click—
Ye Chen walked through the dark forest, his footsteps crunching on the withered branches, making a very jarring sound.
call out--
A golden streak of light instantly struck a monster that was entirely black.
Thud—
The heavy corpses crashed to the ground.
A one-meter-tall, jet-black Dark Mantis with sharp twin blades fell to the ground.
As a hunter in the shadows, he never expected to die before he could even begin his mission, still in the posture of a sneak attack, and was instantly killed by an arrow.
After the Dark Mantis fell, Ye Chen felt his dungeon points instantly increase by ten.
"It seems that a level 31 ordinary monster is worth 10 dungeon points. There are 50,000 ordinary monsters in the third ring, which is 500,000 dungeon points. It seems that to win first place in the freshman trial, we still need to focus on the results of the inner three rings!"
Ye Chen stared thoughtfully at the corpse of the Dark Mantis.
Based on a thousand people, that's only fifty ordinary monsters and five hundred dungeon points per person.
However, in reality, strong players can kill far more than fifty monsters in this level, and can also kill other students to obtain dungeon points.
There weren't many students in this dark forest, so it could be said that most of the monsters here were his prey.
Moreover, in such an environment, it is difficult for ordinary students to perform to their full potential, and they are easily eliminated if they are ambushed by monsters.
Pulling himself back to reality, Ye Chen continued forward.
...
Suddenly, Ye Chen's eyes lit up.
Not far ahead lies an immature B-grade dark-type resource, the Dark Spirit Grass.
With the blessing of the Eye of Truth, Ye Chen could clearly see that the dark energy fluctuations in that area were several times more concentrated than in other places.
Ye Chen couldn't help but marvel at how powerful the A-level True Eye talent was; he wondered what the SSS-level Divine Insight talent would be like!
The earliest record of the SSS-level Divine Insight talent was left by a king-level powerhouse a hundred years ago during the early stages of a great change in the world. Unfortunately, he died young and did not leave behind many records.
However, treasures are usually guarded by powerful monsters, so Ye Chen looked around again.
Ye Chen quickly discovered the monster's trail.
A two-meter-tall spider with dark markings all over its body was watching him intently from a treetop not far away.
Shadow Spider
[Grade: Elite]
[Level: 31]
[Health Points: 310,000]
Attack Power: 7155
Physical Defense: 3155
[Magic Defense: 3571]
[Skills: Curse Power, Silk Spit, Venom...]
[Description: A predator of the night, extremely patient, with sharp limbs, capable of spitting venom and spider silk. Never get hit by its spider silk, or you will become its dinner...]
...
Looking at the monster's attributes, Ye Chen condensed a golden arrow in his hand.
Whoosh—
Two golden arrows pierced the darkness, striking the Shadow Spider's body almost simultaneously, instantly emptying its health bar.
Thud—
The Shadow Spider fell from the treetop, and Ye Chen quickly stepped forward to collect the Dark Spirit Grass and put it into his backpack.
The Dark Spirit Grass, as a B-grade treasure, is not yet mature, but it can be sold to the school for at least 1600 credits, which is quite a considerable gain.
Ye Chen was too lazy to collect the materials from the Shadow Spider, since they weren't worth much and couldn't be exchanged for credits anyway.
"It's a pity that the freshman trial dungeon doesn't drop equipment, otherwise I could have gotten quite a lot of equipment."
Looking at the corpse of the Shadow Spider, Ye Chen felt somewhat unsatisfied, as none of the elite monsters along the way had dropped any equipment.
That's just how the rules of the Freshman Trial dungeon are, which left Ye Chen somewhat disappointed, as level 30 equipment could still be exchanged for a considerable number of credits.
...
As time goes by, the number of monsters in the third stage of the Newcomer Trial is decreasing.
The number of students is also decreasing. When we first entered the third ring, there were nearly a thousand people, but now there are less than six hundred.
Ye Chen sensed from the map that most of the students had already formed teams, mainly divided into four teams.
Ye Chen roughly guessed that it was Lu Ming, Wang Peng, and Lin Tianyu's team, plus other students who spontaneously banded together under pressure from the three of them.
However, at this moment, three red dots were rushing towards Ye Chen, presumably the team of Lu Ming, Wang Peng, and Lin Tianyu.
After all, Ye Chen was alone, so it would be easy for them to find his location.
bite!
A prompt echoed in everyone's mind.
[Only one hundred monsters remain in the third stage of the Newcomer Trial dungeon. All monsters have entered a berserk state and will actively seek out humans. The monster coordinates are now displayed on the map!]
Ye Chen understood; the final battle was about to begin!
Along the way, Ye Chen tried his best to avoid places with people, and they tacitly did not come looking for him, since they were no match for Ye Chen in a one-on-one fight.
Ye Chen was also highly skilled and daring, and was not afraid of them banding together.
He even welcomes them to band together, so he doesn't have to search for them one by one and can eliminate them all at once!
