"Wow—"
The door to the private room swung open, only to be quickly shut again.
A solemn man stood at the entrance, his expression dark.
Yan Yan, who had witnessed his reaction the entire time, wore a grim face, her ears burning with anger, a surge of unnamed fury igniting within her.
She elbowed the person behind her sharply in the abdomen and stood up quickly.
"Hiss—"
Qin Huai clutched his stomach, inhaling sharply, his lips curling in a grimace as he thought to himself how ruthless she was.
As Black Veil pulled up the door, he had already returned to his usual carefree demeanor.
Old Steed in the Stable cast a cold glance at the suddenly opened door. The Black-Clad Thief hidden in the shadows was mostly obscured by the girl's head. The fleeting glimpse he had caught earlier revealed a pair of particularly enchanting Peach Blossom Eyes, just like what he saw now.
A faint sense of familiarity stirred within him.
"Elder Steed President."
Yan Yan's voice snapped him back to reality.
There were more pressing matters at hand.
"Elven Pool Dungeon, two spots?"
He scanned the people behind her.
"Yes," she nodded, understanding his meaning. "When do we start?"
"You decide."
Raising an eyebrow in surprise, she noted that the atmosphere was completely different from the initial Newbie Alliance.
Thinking about Old Steed in the Stable's character, Yan Yan firmly stated, "Now."
This time it was Old Steed in the Stable who raised an eyebrow. "Your Level."
She frowned, pointing out the fact that she wasn't max level yet.
"We can handle that on the way."
The entrance to the Elven Pool Dungeon was located between Spring Day City and Summerwater City.
The area was lush with vegetation and beautiful scenery.
Surrounding the Spirit Stone dungeon were groups of level thirty Tree Spirits.
Players wanting to enter the dungeon had to take the longest detour.
The shortest route required passing through the level thirty Tree Spirits.
As a result, many thrill-seeking players had already perished at the dungeon's entrance.
So, when the Guild's main force came to investigate, they usually took a detour of twenty minutes, choosing the safest route.
At that moment, facing the menacing group of Tree Spirits, the thin and frail girl approached without changing her expression. Everyone looked at her as if she were insane, feeling that a bright light was about to shine.
Suddenly, a thunderous roar erupted, and without warning, a strong earthquake shook the ground, causing trees to topple.
One by one, blackened deep pits were exposed to everyone's eyes as the lush Tree Spirits fell.
Some Tree Spirits were completely obliterated in the explosion, leaving only empty giant craters behind, while others were blown apart, their limbs scattered everywhere.
"Whoosh—"
A shattered branch flew down.
It landed right in front of Old Steed in the Stable.
His dignified face twitched for a moment, falling into silence.
Kaka shrank her neck and exchanged a startled glance with the Short Woman beside her. As she turned away, she noticed the strange excitement rising in the other’s eyes, sending a chill down her spine.
What on earth is Yun Cong planning to do?
She stared wide-eyed as Wind Passing, Clouds Following resolutely stepped into that battlefield, her short hair fluttering in the aftermath of the explosion.
For a full five minutes, flames erupted and dirt flew everywhere as Yan Yan and Qin Huai leveled up.
The path the girl walked was a straight road that had been forcibly carved out.
System Announcement: Congratulations to Mysterious Player for successfully unveiling the mystery of the Elven Pool Dungeon. Reward The player and all members of her team have received a magic resistance attribute Buff from the Elven Pool Dungeon, effective for three hours. Keep up the good work!
Through the gaps, everyone could see the girl's face, Calm, facing them, undisturbed.
In the shadows behind her, the Black-Clad Thief stood guard at a distance.
Wind Passing, Clouds Following waved vigorously at Evil Person, completely losing their usual aloofness.
“President, the dungeon entrance is right here! So close!”
Compared to the twenty-minute detour they had taken, this was practically a straight shot!
“So, is this why you insisted on eliminating the Tree Spirit?”
A nod.
Thinking about the girl’s earlier request, he felt it was impractical and a waste of time, but he decided to trust her completely. “Is it Special Items?”
Another nod.
“Another advertisement for the Reincarnation Shop?”
She smiled lightly and shook her head.
“Then it’s probably not that. If it were, this area would have been blown to bits long ago.”
“Pfft—”
Kaka couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Receiving a glare from her President, she shrank her neck and covered her mouth to indicate silence.
Yan Yan's dark, bright smile flickered for a moment; she hadn't expected the Evil Guild's President to be such a sharp-tongued individual.
It was completely at odds with his dignified and reliable appearance.
Meanwhile, everyone else who witnessed the girl and the Black-Clad Thief rocket up in levels within five minutes was utterly stunned.
This level-up rate was a slap in the face.
After the System announcement, everyone’s status interface displayed a Magic Resistance Buff.
The first player to clear the Tree Spirit around the Elven Pool Dungeon would receive a magic resistance buff as a reward. For the Elven Pool Dungeon, which favored magical attacks over physical ones, this was like having an invincible shield!
If the Skeleton Graveyard was a physical attack-oriented dungeon, then the Elven Pool Dungeon was focused on magical attacks.
All five Bss were Mage-type monsters. Therefore, this time, the team needed more melee fighters to counter the Mages, with four warriors in total.
Four warriors, two archers, two thieves, one priest, and one mage.
“Once we enter the dungeon, just follow my lead. With the Magic Resistance Buff, we aim to clear the Abyss Level Elf Pool Dungeon in an hour and a half.”
【Team Channel】Feeder: An hour and a half?
【Team Channel】Sweet Tooth: Could this become Zero Point's fastest record for clearing an Abyss Level dungeon?!
Team Channel Kaka: "Damn!"
"With half of the BuFF time left, after we finish Abyss Level, let's plan to run through Hard Mode. Is that okay?"
"No problem!"
Everyone shouted in unison.
"The Newbie Alliance and Chuan Chuan Guild have already started their runs. Once the System announcement comes out, we'll know their progress. Before that, everyone focus on our exploration."
"From Number One to Four Bss, all are Elf Mages. The strategy is the same: main tank should hold aggro until it reaches 8% before dealing damage. Unlike the Bss in the Skeleton Graveyard, the Bss in the Spirit Pool lose aggro quickly, so pay attention to the stacking of the three taunt skills. Main Weakling, all your public cooldowns should go to taunt skills; we don't need your other damage skills, just maintain stable aggro. The other three warriors, you are responsible for full damage output. The Mage enemies have low physical resistance, so the team's Damage Value is up to you. The remaining rogues and mages will handle the surrounding respawning monsters; do not let them approach the melee area. Priests will use Recovery Spell throughout, prioritizing melee, but can occasionally let rogues and archers take over."
Yan Yan glanced around at her team members: Main Weakling, melee fighter Old Steed in the Stable, Sweet Tooth, March Third, priest Strawberry Daifuku, rogues Kaka and Qin Huai, mage Overflowing Corruption, archer Wind Passing, Clouds Following, and herself.
This team's skill level was more than enough to tackle the exploration.
"Be mindful of Bss skill ranges; they increase as we progress—from ten yards to thirty yards. The last Bss is a bit special; it has a summoning skill. At that point, rogues will handle kiting while everyone else focuses on damage output."
"Let's enter the dungeon."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone teleported into the dungeon. (To be continued.)
