Chapter 20 Chapter 20 Clear
The movement of the attacked goblin attracted the attention of the two goblins on its left and right, and the three goblins rushed over together.
The situation was better than expected. He Biduoyan and Tang Li tacitly led one away each, and the remaining one was given to Cibuduyi and Li Zi, who squeezed them one by one.
"Go on."
For example, Chestnut skillfully picked up the fallen coins, and at the same time, he also drew his bow and aimed at the next wave of goblins.
Soon, the 10-man team of goblins was successfully eliminated.
"There was actually ore dropped!" For example, he raised the iron ore he picked up in surprise.
"Wow, great! I can save money to upgrade my house!"
As expected of a dungeon, the rewards are plentiful and everyone is in a great mood.
The group explored down the winding cave and encountered several patrolling goblin teams along the way. The further they went inside, the more goblins there were, and their weapons became more colorful instead of the uniform bone sticks.
For example, the team in front of them, in addition to seven melee monsters with bone clubs, also has three goblins with archers for long-range attacks.
After narrowly defeating the monster, we walked along the cave for a while, and suddenly the view opened up. A huge space appeared in front of us. It was an artificially excavated square. Although the style was rough, the magnificent area made up for this shortcoming, and it looked quite realistic.
I don’t know if digging such a big hole in the mountain will cause a landslide.
But now is not the time to worry about this issue, because the huge square in front of us is densely packed with goblins.
It seemed that they just happened to catch up with the celebration of this group of goblins. The diet of these monsters was obviously very diverse. Tang Li not only saw many remains of animals and plants, but also saw parts that looked like human tissues, which looked very unsuspicious.
Of course, the most abundant thing in the entire celebration was wine. Wine barrels of all sizes filled every corner of the hall. The goblins drank heartily, and many of them had the drunken debuff on their heads.
Tang Li's gaze shifted to the long table in the middle of the hall. The one standing on the table and dancing drunkenly, who was obviously two sizes taller than the other goblins, should be the dungeon boss.
"Hiss - I'm almost having trypophobia." After taking a sneak peek inside, Li Zi couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on his arms.
The holographic technology of the future world is really amazing. It can even simulate such details. Tang Li, who accidentally witnessed goosebumps popping up like bamboo shoots after spring, was amazed.
Tang Li looked away as if nothing had happened and glanced at the status of the goblins: "Fortunately, the dungeon doesn't really want us to die." Although there are many goblins, the debuff is more or less a comfort.
"We should be able to lure out the monsters in batches, just like before." Tang Li felt that the scene inside was familiar, very similar to a famous novel she read in her childhood. "If we can't lure them out, we should retreat for the time being. I don't want to become food on the table."
Tang Seng is one of the protagonists and will not really be eaten by monsters, but the same cannot be said for them as players. Who knows if the game planners may have some kind of bad taste.
"...Okay." Everyone felt that Tang Li was just thinking too much. No matter how bad the planners' taste was, they wouldn't do such a thing unless they wanted to be complained to death by players. But Tang Li seemed very resistant. In order to appease her, everyone could only nod obediently.
"Don't worry, if something like this really happens, we will protect you and run away first even if we die."
"Let me lead the way." Li Zi raised the bow and arrow in his hand and shot at the goblin closest to the door.
"Ah!" Five goblins who noticed the movement rushed over with weapons raised.
Restrain, attack... batches of goblins turned into experience points, filling the player's experience bar.
In the blink of an eye, more than two hours have passed in the dungeon. Although there is the comfort of increasing levels, the long-term continuous mechanical movements will inevitably make people mentally exhausted.
The chestnut arrow responsible for attracting monsters deviated, and in addition to the five goblins that were originally planned to be attracted, a goblin wizard nearby was also alarmed.
"Be careful!" Li Zi's regretful voice sounded.
"Ah--" The drunken Goblin Mage forced himself to cheer up, staggered and raised the staff in his hand, and cast a fireball at the player... the barrel in the opposite direction.
"Bang!" The wine barrel exploded, and the alcohol inside became the best combustion agent for the flame. After a series of chain reactions, the delicious wine in the hall turned into exploding bombs.
“!!!”
Flames shot up from the ground into the sky, and the entire dungeon shook violently. Everyone's eyes went dark, and they turned into white light and reappeared at the dungeon entrance. The dungeon exploration progress was reset to zero.
"The team is wiped out..." Li Zi cried, feeling guilty for having done something wrong. "I'm sorry, I was careless."
"It's okay. It's inevitable that the whole team will be wiped out a few times when exploring a dungeon." Tang Li waved her hand nonchalantly. She thought Li Zi looked better when he was sunny and cheerful.
"Yeah, you've done a great job. If it were me who started the monster, I would have probably just smashed the barrel. I'd even be gloating over my cleverness while doing so, thinking I'd found a quick way to take out the boss and its minions. Who would have guessed it was a trap?" Hebi Duoyan said, scratching the back of his head sheepishly. "This setup is incredibly cunning. It's practically inviting crime."
Ju Ge Li Zi pulled Li Zi's hand soothingly, and raised his eyebrows when he heard He Bi Duo Yan's words: "I always feel that you seem to be very regretful."
"A little bit," Hebi Duoyan said with a hearty smile, "Don't you think it's attractive to see so many barrels piled there?"
They want to destroy the barrel as soon as they see it. What kind of house-wrecking dog operation is this? But what he said is actually correct. If they didn't subconsciously feel that it wouldn't be that simple, they actually wanted to blow up the barrel as well. So why bother saying that? With a smile, others couldn't help laughing as well.
"Replenish your energy before continuing. Let's try to clear the dungeon today." Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming relaxed again, Bu Di gave everyone a brief review of the precautions of the previous week. He was the first to take out a steamed bun and adjusted his posture with a serious expression.
"good!"
“Dinner is finally served!”
“Food heals my weary soul.”
"I'm willing to work 100 times harder to eat such delicious flower rolls!"
"Not really, not really. Even if it's not that hard, I can still eat steamed buns every day." Tang Li sat on the ground, holding a steamed bun, her face darkening. She could handle playing games seriously, but she couldn't stand being involuntarily involved in the game. Even if the work was 100 times harder, how could she still feel the joy of the game? If something so terrible really happened, she might defect from this terrible team.
“Hahahahahaha!”
Everyone was laughing and enjoying the delicious food, and then fell to the ground one after another, like dominoes.
"...fell again." He stood up silently without being able to express himself clearly.
"Yeah, it seems that this is not a practice that can be completed in a short time!" He Biduoyan climbed up shyly.
"I even sat on the ground on purpose to eat." Tang Li rubbed her forehead which had hit the ground. It was indeed worthy of being a curse from her, it was really powerful.
"Flower rolls are delicious and good for exercise, what a great food!" Li Zi noticed Tang Li rubbing her forehead and touched the ground where she had hit him. She said in surprise, "Look, it can even help us find minerals. It's such a memorable thing. Take this back and keep it for yourself!"
"...That's impressive, but I guess I won't need it for my collection." No wonder it hurt after hitting her head. Tang Li refused the ore that Li Zi offered her to collect, ignoring the question and changing the subject. "Okay, now that we've had enough, let's get back to the dungeon. Since the barrel can explode, does that mean we can't use offensive skills like fire?"
"There's nothing wrong with being cautious." Li Zi put the ore into his backpack, a look of fear on his face. The previous explosion had left a deep psychological shadow on him.
"There aren't many usable skills at this level, and they've got to ban some of them. What a headache," Hebi Duoyan sighed in distress. "No wonder no one has cleared the dungeon yet. It's fine there are so many monsters, but there's even a team-wipe mode. Is this really how difficult a level 10 dungeon can be? Aren't the officials afraid we'll quit the game out of anger?"
"I don't know if the dungeons in other Novice Villages are the same as ours. There's no clue on the forums."
"Everyone wants to be the first to kill, so who would be so foolish as to post clues on the forum? Besides, 'Magic Continent' is known as the second world. Even the conditions in the novice camp are hard to find. Even if the dungeon is the same type, there will probably be some differences."
"Keep fighting. Although you're a little tired, you still have a lot of experience."
After eating the steamed buns and drinking some medicine to replenish their health, everyone reopened the dungeon.
Leading the way were still the five patrolling Bone Stick Goblins. Because they had experience, everyone handled it more calmly this time.
Maybe it’s because the monsters died so quickly, or maybe it’s because we’ve been watching them for so long, but people have actually started to like the abstract-looking goblins. Time is indeed cruel.
Advancing into the hall at a faster speed than before, Li Zi no longer dared to be careless and began to lure monsters in batches with great caution.
The drunken debuff reduces the combat effectiveness of the monsters, but also adds more uncontrollable factors. No matter what species the drunkards are, they are all irrational. As the time of killing monsters goes by, the goblins who drink more alcohol begin to make trouble. Even though the players are not within their hatred range, as long as the alcohol consumption exceeds a certain level, these hateful goblins will start to attack the barrels.
Even though they were prepared and managed to eliminate the goblins before they could cause trouble several times, as more and more goblins appeared to cause trouble, they were wiped out again.
"They explode at the slightest provocation. Not only do these goblins look abstract, but they also have such bad tempers." Once again returning to the starting point, Li Zi regained his hatred for the goblins. He angrily put his hands on his hips and attacked the patrolling bone stick goblins not far away.
The task progress was almost completed but it had to be reset and restarted again, and several hours were wasted. This really tested one's mentality. If one could stand it without losing experience when dying in the dungeon, who could withstand it without losing mentality?
"Speaking of a bad temper, aren't you...ah!" He Biduoyan looked at Li Zi's aggressive look and thought that she looked quite bad tempered too, but before he could finish his words, he was punched by Li Zi who was standing next to him.
"I told you to say that to me!" Li Zi also raised his fist threateningly.
"I was wrong!" There was no chance of winning when two were fighting on one, so why bother saying anything? He just slid to his knees at the speed of light.
"Hahahaha!" Tang Li thought their interaction was very interesting and was very happy watching from the side.
After playing around, everyone started reviewing the game again.
"In order to avoid a team wipe, we must clear out the mobs before the goblins' drunken debuff gets out of control."
"This dungeon isn't actually difficult, at least clearing the monsters isn't difficult. Once you level up and your attack power increases, you'll be able to clear them all within the allotted time. There aren't any particularly difficult techniques."
"The first dungeon should be used for players to gain experience."
"But the problem is, our level is not high enough." Tang Li said softly.
"Then we can only rely on skills to win, so cheer up everyone!" He gave an example and made a fist to cheer everyone up.
"Haha." The easiest thing during these four or five hours of fighting monsters was to give an example. It seemed as if he was being easy-going when he said this, but because he was the daddy at the top of the food chain, if you angered him, you would most likely be let go, so everyone could only be angry but not speak out.
After being wiped out twice, except for the boss who was drunk on the table, no one knew the details. However, everyone had a pretty good idea of the monsters' situations and patterns of behavior. Relying on the tacit understanding among the team, this time we should be able to clear all the monsters within the specified time.
"Let's go on." Everyone got themselves ready and started again.
After the third round, everyone was already very familiar with killing monsters.
"This goblin is quite pretty and is wearing a skirt. She must be a girl."
"Those two always act together. Their relationship is suspicious."
"Didn't you notice that another goblin has been secretly following them? Every time we lure the monsters away, even though we're far away, it always manages to follow."
They chopped vegetables and melons along the way and chatted about gossip. After arriving at the hall, this time everyone did not continue to attract the monsters closest to them, but chose the goblin next to the barrel.
These guys are really good at running when they are drunk, so let’s get rid of the unstable factors first.
Thanks to Li Zi, long-range archers are always the gods!
Without alerting other goblins, everyone slowly cleared a barrier between the barrels and the goblins, so that even if there were occasional out-of-control goblins, they could deal with them in time.
Now you can focus on dealing with the remaining goblins.
Slowly clearing out most of the goblins in the hall in batches, he stopped Li Zi from continuing to lure the monsters and said to Ju Ge Li Zi, "Try to put the barrel next to you into your backpack."
Everyone's eyes lit up and they instantly understood his idea.
"Yeah." Because the goblins nearby had been almost wiped out, there was no obstruction at all. For example, he quickly came to the wine barrel and tried to put the barrel into his backpack.
"Sure!" Everyone was surprised to see the wine barrel disappear in Jugeri's hands.
Now we don’t have to worry about the team being wiped out anymore.
After putting all the barrels piled on the side into the backpack, he threw a fireball directly onto the table in the middle.
"Boom!" The wine-soaked table burst into flames, and the wine barrels near the table began to explode.
Although the explosion of the remaining wine barrels made a considerable noise, it was not enough to collapse the entire cave.
"Ah!" The explosion and flames caused a lot of continuous damage to the remaining goblins in the hall. The goblin leader who was sleeping soundly on the table was finally awakened by the wailing of his subordinates and the pain in his body.
So, drinking alcohol can lead to mistakes. When you wake up, your home is gone. Are you surprised? Are you surprised?
Without reminding the boss what he would think when he saw his territory in ruins and blood splattered all over his body, Tang Li and others took advantage of the goblin leader's stunned time and raced against time to harvest the remaining goblins with low health.
Although the annoying alcohol bomb caused their team to be wiped out many times, it could also be a good helper in clearing monsters if used properly. Looking at the experience bar climbing up quickly, Tang Li, who was almost vomiting from killing monsters, felt that she had been healed.
Yay, I feel the joy of the Three Kingdoms Arson Team!
"Ah! I want you to die!" The angry goblin leader spoke in human language and began to expand in size.
The goblin's appearance is already distorted enough, and the distortion becomes even more shocking after its size expands.
Tang Li and the others, who had been gossiping about the goblins all the way, lowered their heads silently and decided to take back their words that "we are used to seeing goblins".
It turns out that their hearts are not strong enough and their minds are not tolerant enough. It is their fault.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Soon, the ugly boss, as big as a hill, jumped down from the table with a strong smell of alcohol, leaving two deep cracks on the ground, and rushed towards them quickly.
"Be careful!" Hebi said quickly and rushed forward with a shield.
"Ah!" The boss swung his hand, and his fist as big as a sandbag fell down with an unstoppable force with a whistling sound of breaking wind.
"Eye of Doom!" Tang Li activated her skill, and her eyes attracted the supernatural power and landed on the goblin leader's waving fist.
The monsters in the third round were not defeated in vain. Tang Li had already mastered this skill by heart. The combination of superpowers and skills made this skill one of Tang Li's favorite skills.
The curse was activated, and the boss, who exerted too much force, twisted his hand, and his powerful fist landed softly on He Biduoyan's shield.
"Beautiful!" Hebi Duoyan, who was originally facing a great enemy, smiled heartily and charged towards the boss.
"Haha, it's okay, explosive impact!" Tang Li was not idle either. She took advantage of the gap in the boss's attack and launched an attack.
If only she could directly clear the boss's health bar... well, with her luck, the hope was still slim. Looking at the goblin leader who was still full of energy, Tang Li shrugged and threw out another control skill [Parasite].
The others were not idle either. They all used their most powerful skills to attack the boss. Even the pure-blooded nanny, for example, used his only attack skill on the boss.
"Damn humans!" The goblin leader was furious. He stomped his feet and the ground split open again with him as the center, attacking the five people one by one.
"careful!"
Tang Li quickly gave up the attack and started running in circles. The strange thing was that the cracks under her feet actually chased her.
The group ran around the hall for a full minute before finally surviving the attack.
The thing that the short-legged mage hates most is running in circles. Tang Li felt offended and used all kinds of skills on the boss without paying any attention to the cost, but the price she paid was to pour blue medicine into her mouth without paying any attention to the cost.
"Cursed Eye!"
"Explosive impact!"
…
"This won't work. This boss has no moral composure and always uses his ultimate attack." Tang Li suddenly had an idea and took out a flower roll. "This goblin has such a big mouth, why don't we try feeding it a flower roll and see if we can interrupt his ultimate attack?"
"don't want!"
“Don’t!”
"Can't!"
Everyone's reaction was very intense.
"Why?" Tang Li wondered.
"What does this goblin know about delicious food? It would be a complete waste to feed it!"
"I won't allow goblins to desecrate delicious food!"
"Okay~" Tang Li put the steamed bun back. In fact, she was reluctant to waste it.
If you don't want to take shortcuts, you can only work hard with the spirit of Yugong moving mountains. For example, stand at the farthest place from the hall and rescue everyone whenever you have a chance. If people are almost dead, you can escape from the battle and wait for others to come back.
I don’t know how many times I died, but relying on everyone’s tacit cooperation and fearlessness, the goblin leader finally used up all his means and fell to the ground with a plop.
"Plop" "Plop" the exhausted players fell to the ground without any image.
"It's finally over."
System: [Congratulations on your team's first clear of the dungeon "Goblin's Nest (Easy)." You've received +10 reputation with all factions, +50 reputation with Orlan, +100 reputation with the Silver Camp, 1 Silver Treasure Chest, 50 Gold Coins, and 5 Free Attribute Points. A world announcement will be released soon. Would you like to hide your ID?]
"No." Tang Li refused weakly.
Reputation is the core gameplay of "Magic Continent". City construction, territorial expansion, store operation, mission acceptance, etc. are all linked to reputation. The key is that this game is particularly tricky. Once you become anonymous, it means that your reputation is hidden. You must complete relevant tasks to obtain proof to prove that you have indeed obtained the reputation before you can unlock the anonymous reputation. Moreover, this unlocking is only for the NPC that issued the proof. If you want to accept other tasks, you can only complete the proof again.
In theory, this is quite logical, but it still cannot prevent the cheated players from sending "cordially" greetings to the officials.
The bitter lessons of the pioneer players are still posted on the forum, and Tang Li certainly won't be stubborn and increase the difficulty of the game for herself.
System: [Congratulations to the adventurer for being the first to complete this, Chestnut, Lucky Star, why bother saying more?]
System: [The Silver Camp dungeon "Goblin's Nest" has been opened. Adventurers can proceed to challenge it in an orderly manner.]
The world announcement that resounded throughout the server caused all players to explode.
The world channel has not been unlocked yet, so players can only turn to the forum.
"No way, I'm only level 6, and someone has already cleared the dungeon?"
"What kind of deity is this?"
"I'm from the Silver Camp. I went with my teammates to try a dungeon. As soon as we entered the dungeon, we were sent out by five goblins coming towards us."
"Poor thing, that would be a waste of money, the goblin ticket is quite expensive."
"I don't understand why there are NPCs charging money in dungeons. Damn the official ones!"
"Alas, I don't know how to appreciate the blessings I have. I also want to spend money to clear the dungeon, but unfortunately our Novice Village dungeon hasn't been unlocked yet, and the Silver Camp is too far away."
…
"Get up and see what exploded." After lying on the ground for a long time, Li Zi pushed her boyfriend next to her.
"I hope it's something good!" Otherwise it would be a shame for their hard work throughout the day.
Thinking of her bad luck, Tang Li rolled away silently.
