Lin Luor looked over with a cold expression.
Nanshan Dazhu blinked his large eyes.
Holy crap! The Sacred Priest's face twisted, almost spewing out, giving the opponent a scathing look.
Unrivalled Zha Flower immediately glared back.
'Swipe', another sweeping blow!
The powerful attack firmly attracts the attention of the elite monsters, causing their rage to focus only on Chu You and completely ignore the assistant behind them.
That's just the way of low-level, low-intelligence elite monsters, they have no ability to judge.
Chu You's health has always been at full, and his attack speed is slightly faster. Under such a pace, two elite monsters successively fell.
God, he's fast! The Sacred Priest feels his attack speed is even faster than their team of four.
"Make me the team leader." Chu You said at this time.
Lin Luor immediately obeyed and gave the team leadership to Chu You.
System: The item acquisition mode has been changed to team leader acquisition!
This System prompt was quickly relayed to the others.
Chu You turned his head and looked at the two newcomers behind him.
"Hey, bro, we meet again." The Sacred Priest immediately switched to a smiling face, casually waving a greeting.
"Oh, everything here belongs to me, do you have any objections?" Chu You's complexion remained unchanged, he nodded, and casually spoke.
"Umm..."
"I have no objections, I just want the experience." Unrivalled Zha Flower immediately replied.
Chu You gave him a second look, noticing that this Unrivalled Zha Flower seemed to be a middle-aged man, his character image possessing the maturity that a younger person would lack.
"I just need the quest items." Nanshan Dazhu.
"Don't look at me, it's all yours." Lin Luor said.
Then, all four people looked at the Sacred Priest at the same time.
"Umm... all yours, bro. I'm just here to gain some experience." Feeling the pressure from the four, the Sacred Priest conceded.
"Since we're clear, there will be no hard feelings. If anyone is slacking off, don't blame me for kicking them out." After Chu You finished speaking, he immediately moved forward.
The four stood there, you looking at me, me looking at you, without Chu You's orders, they didn't dare to move.
"You can come over now." Chu You's voice came around the corner.
The four immediately ran over in sprint mode, as if afraid of losing Chu You's first milk.
"Don't...don't push me..." Unrivalled Zha Flower frowned.
"Sorry..." The Sacred Priest looked embarrassed.
At this time, Chu You glanced at the watchtower, which had no stairs and seemed to only be vulnerable to ranged attacks, the archer above immediately shooting an arrow at Chu You.
For the watchtower's archer, Chu You knew, typically these types of experience monsters in excellent positions have extremely weak defenses, but their attack power is not reduced, causing high damage.
Chu You immediately withdrew his knife, his body fiercely leaped, climbing up swiftly and agilely.
Apart from Lin Luor, the other three people looked at each other in shock.
-82, -79, -88, -189!
After Chu You killed this archer who didn't drop anything, he immediately jumped down.
-27, +27!
Seeing Chu You jumping directly from the watchtower and losing blood, the always attentive Unrivalled Zha Flower quickly cast a healing spell.
"Uncle, you look really good when you're serious," said Nanshan Dazhu.
"Really? You sure know how to flatter, young lady."
Chu You and his group continued to move deeper into the area. Each new player instance in every region is different. Since Chu You didn't choose Liuying Village as his birthplace in the previous world, he doesn't know about some of the hidden treasure chests and hidden points in the instance. But for Chu You, that doesn't matter, he's not interested in those things.
All he wants to do now is concentrate on leveling up, reach the goal of job advancement, the game has started out incredibly smoothly for him, there's not only a large amount of Gold Coins, but also his God Level Physique, these all make Chu You eager to reach his job advancement, to seek some strategic high ground in the early game, in the previous world, Chu You missed a lot of opportunities.
Up ahead there's a crude camp, a fire pile in the middle. Surrounding it are four elite monsters, among them there's also a boss monster.
This is the place, seeing this, a hint of agony emerged in the eyes of the Sacred Priest, they had no idea how many times they had wiped out here before.
Without control skills, brute force is likely to lead to a total wipeout.
But now, the situation made Chu You's face turn cold, a glint of challenge in his eyes. Perhaps, the previous him would've sought a bit of 'evasion', but now, with Sweeping Blow and Decapitation, an increased attack range of 1.5 meters, and enhanced personal attributes, all these put together, Chu You could completely utilize his abilities.
So what if it's a brute force attack?
Chu You swiftly took a step and rushed forward wielding his knife.
"He charged in all by himself." The Sacred Priest watched Chu You's retreating figure somewhat contemptuously and sent a message to Sunshine Suifeng.
"Any strategic arrangements?" The other side asked back.
"None, he just charged in without a word." After sending the message, the Sacred Priest's face changed.
"Hehe, bosses will be bosses. Don't heal, let's see how he dies." An excited Sunshine Suifeng stood outside the instance.
Chu You watched coldly as four elite monsters rushed toward him, with the leader moving much faster.
Chu You found an opening, avoided a slash from the monster on the side, counterattacked and then ran forward, making his way to the back of the elite monster.
Using the terrain and the position of the elite monster, Chu You forced the leader to be sandwiched among the other monsters.
While dodging incoming swords and slashing, the increase in attack speed enabled Chu You to easily handle the situation. Moments later,
A semi-circular blade aura instantly hit all four elites, damage values instantly popping up on the monsters.
Chu You was not focusing on a single elite monster. The monsters' steps were monotonous, they would only stupidly chase and wildly slash at him, displaying no tactics at all. All the hate from the elite monsters was solidly drawn by Chu You.
"Alright, you guys can start healing now." Chu You's voice came from the pile of monsters.
The party of four didn't move, because Chu You's health bar hadn't decreased yet.
"What's the situation now?" Suifeng sent a message.
"The monsters are under control." The Sacred Priest took a deep breath.
"???"
"I'll tell you later, someone's watching me over here."
"???" Sunshine Suifeng was outside the instance, completely baffled.
Can anyone tell me what's going on inside?
'Boom!' With a sweeping attack, a wave of area damage values instantly appeared, and the surrounding weeds started swaying.
Since he had four priests as his backup, some of the unnecessary dodges could be discarded, as it would allow him to increase his attack rate. This thought crossed Chu You's mind as he picked up the intensity of his combat.
Seeing Chu You's health bar depleting, Unrivalled Zha Flower was the first to cast a healing spell. However, if you paid close attention, you could see that his eyes were secretly watching another priest nearby...
One of the elite monsters suddenly fell dead, freeing up space for the leader, whose attack was faster.
But... Chu You intentionally avoided the leader's attack, bracing a small monster, and the other small monster?
Tossed around in circles by Chu You's footwork.
At this moment, Lin Luor slightly opened her mouth and let out breath, the system had already begun to warn her about her fatigue.
'Decapitation!' Another ordinary elite fell, leaving only the leader and one elite monster played around by Chu You.
The death of its companion triggered the leader's skill. As the lowest level leader, Celestial World had gifted it only one skill.
A sword aura with an earth-shattering effect shot from its feet towards Chu You, who had been alert all along, casually sidestepped and avoided the incoming skill.
"This bro is really amazing." Even Nanshan Dazhu, who was playing the game for the first time, could see this.
With his fluid footwork, Chu You's damage output kept popping up on the monster, it's health bar decreasing rapidly. Chu You's footwork was wasteful, he would strike when he had to, not wasting a single attack opportunity.
"He cleared it!" The Sacred Priest sent this short message expressionlessly. In this battle, he had seen that even if they, the priests, hadn't healed, he believed that Chu You would have overcome this hurdle. That skilful footwork and sharp awareness aroused a sense of admiration in the Sacred Priest.
The corpse of the leader didn't disappear and was set ablaze. Chu You explored it because as the team leader, he was the only one who could pick up the items from the corpses.
It was a pair of ordinary cloth shoes, Chu You passed it to Lin Luor without a second thought.
The five of them continued to venture deeper, they bravely strode along the path, slaughtering their way. Not a single elite monster was spared in the process.
"We're here!" Chu You looked at the two-story hill fort. Four elite monsters stood at the entrance of the fort, and a simple watchtower on each side had an archer.
"Same as usual, wait here while I pull those four monsters over here."
After finishing his sentence, Chu You rushed towards them wielding his knife.
"Can you please explain clearly, what's going on?" A slightly impatient voice message came from Sunshine Suifeng.
Watching Chu You's fighting figure, the Sacred Priest replied while doing so: "Suifeng, this guy isn't someone our small guild can provoke. Tell the guild leader, that's all I can say for now."
After thinking for a while, the Sacred Priest continued: "I'll send you some pictures on PP, you check it yourself. I can only record videos after promotion, this will do for now." Having said that, the Sacred Priest purposely took a few pictures of Chu You using Sweeping Blow's area damage.
Another snapshot of Chu You's incredibly sexy maneuvering caught on camera. In this image, one could clearly see how Chu You evaded the trajectory of each monster's attacks. His long seedling knife seemed ready to counterattack and particularly, those indifferent and ruthless eyes mirrored disdain!
After a short while, Chu You led his group of Priests into the mountain stronghold, took down the archers atop the city walls, and infiltrated the stronghold.
The rules here had changed and exhibited a touch of reality. In other words, if an elite monster spotted Chu You and his group, it would sound an alarm and usher in more elite monsters to fight against Chu You's group.
Chu You's might was vividly showcased at this moment. Such remarkable battlefield control, sharp steps, and calm demeanor made him appear invincible, possessing the dignity of a king, in the eyes of the Sacred Priest.
Moreover, there would never be a situation where the elite monsters would shift their hatred onto the Priests.
It was at this moment that the Sacred Priest realized, they had basically been standing still and replenishing their health, from the start of the dungeon until now. They didn't need to think about anything or do anything themselves. They easily replenished their health whenever necessary.
After eliminating all minor monsters, a colossal door appeared before Chu You and his team. Chu You lifted his leg and kicked the door which instantly burst open from his monstrous force.
'So, doors can be opened in such a brute way?' The Sacred Priest once again learned another extraordinary way to play the game. He felt that as long as he followed this expert, the emotion of 'amazement' would continually surface, stimulating his spiritual state. Such a sensation was only understood by him.
What is the feeling of sheer joy? Only Sacred Priest could tell you.
"Does it really feel that good?"
"Actually, my experience has nearly increased by two-thirds. I'm about to reach level 4!" The Sacred Priest's mood was gradually lifting.
"Where are you guys?"
"Fighting the BOSS. I can almost see mission items beckoning me. Due to the Nightmare Mode, the quality of the items will only improve, so we will gain more experience of course, haha." The originally friendly conversation turned into an unconscious act of boasting by the Sacred Priest towards Sunshine Suifeng.
This invisible act of showing off made Sunshine Suifeng, who was outside the dungeon, very upset for a while.
The BOSS, clad in Exploding Armor, coldly watched Chu You approach. He stood up from his seat.
The final BOSS of Nightmare Mode had high damage, high health, high defense, and reasonably good movement and attack speeds. It was a formidable entity possessing area skills and, most importantly, a certain level of wisdom.
This wisdom would become increasingly prominent as the BOSS's level increased.
"You guys just hide on the outside side of the door, do not show yourselves. When I call for you guys to come in, just heal." Leaving these words behind, Chu You walked in.
Seeing Chu You entering alone, a unique demeanor was etched into everyone's hearts. The Sacred Priest was astounded. For people like him who played games all the time, facing the BOSS alone? What a formidable feat! Moreover, Chu You was just a warrior, which meant he had to engage in close combat!
No mistake about it, this was the Nightmare Mode dungeon!
"Why're you standing there like a fool? When an expert tells you to hide, why aren't you hiding??" Unrivalled Zha Flower, who had already hidden by the corridor, immediately shouted at Sacred Priest. His excitement caused him to stutter.
Nanshan Dazhu, who was next to him, looked gleeful. She showed no annoyance when her boyfriend was scolded because she discovered that this uncle was genuinely taking care of her boyfriend and prioritizing the bigger picture.
'Clang!' In the hall, the two rapidly approached each other, Chu You was the first to draw his knife, simultaneously dodging the BOSS's first sword by tilting his body.
Immediately, BOSS swung his sword horizontally with great precision and speed!
What a quick speed to unsheathe his sword! Chu You's attack speed was limited when he drew his knife, but his time interval was not slow either. However, the opponent was quicker!
-87, damage appeared on Chu You, but at the same time, Chu You used 'Decapitation', inflicting forced - 200 damage on the BOSS, causing its health bar to drop noticeably. Albeit noticeable, the reduction was mere fractions.
Chu You sprinted to a cover, using it to avoid the BOSS's attacks.
'Clang clang clang!' At a certain moment, the BOSS thrust his sword at Chu You three times within a second.
All three strokes missed. The moment the BOSS took out this sword technique, Chu You had an inkling that this sword technique was anything but simple. It was a predication based on his vast amount of experience from his former life.
As it turned out, the essence of the beginner's dungeon was actually to train the player's reaction speed, judgement, develop body awareness, and force rookies to accumulate experience from numerous close encounters with death. Chu You had a profound understanding of this principle from his previous life.
Simultaneously, Chu You discerned that this BOSS was an agility type BOSS as it had evaded some of his attacks too.
'Shadow Clone Technique!' When the BOSS's health dropped to one-third, it unleashed a skill, creating an identical shadow clone from its main body. In a sense, Chu You was facing the onslaught of two agility type BOSSes at this moment!
The difficulty level instantly increased several times within a split second!
"Priest, the president asked you to send some more pictures, he is very interested in this person. The professional players in our guild are conducting a detailed analysis in the meeting room." Looking at the message sent by Suifeng, the Sacred Priest carefully glanced at Unrivalled Zha Flower, who was next to him. The latter's eyes were out of focus, not knowing what he was doing.
Good opportunity! Sacred Priest was delighted internally, for he was somewhat afraid of this uncle now.
As the Sacred Priest, who was originally nearest to the door, moved to peek out, his pupils instantly dilated.
Gosh, he's fighting against two major BOSSes single-handedly!
The BOSS's pupils contracted suddenly at that moment. Instantly turning its head, it stared hard at the head of the Sacred Priest peeking out from the doorway.
This is bad!
The original BOSS sprinted towards the door with a shadow following closely behind.
The aggression was thrown into disarray!
With just a glance, Chu You knew what had transpired and quickly ran after them.
The Sacred Priest just stared blankly, his mind was currently a blank slate. He didn't know what to do at this moment.
'Swipe, swipe, swipe!' Three blows from a single sword, the Sacred Priest's health was just hanging by a thread.
+26, a healing spell was applied to the Priest, and Lin Luor from behind had made her move, causing a great splash with a small stone. Unrivalled Zha Flower seemed to have been woken up with a start, her eyes filled with panic, and Nanshan Dazhu was completely bewildered.
"Add health!" Lin Luor shouted loudly.
Once a player attacks, their hate value is imprinted into the BOSS's mind, suddenly causing chaos in the corridor.
For Chu You, this chaos also increased his breathing room and lessened any hesitation in his attacks.
It didn't take long before the Sacred Priest was slain, no one could heal him, who could resist the BOSS's attacks?
When the Priest fell, the BOSS's hate shifted onto Lin Luor.
"Don't panic, Luor, pay attention to dodging, start running and pull it into the hall." Chu You shouted, the boss's shadow clone kept attacking Chu You. Thankfully its attack power was lower than the main body and its attack speed was slightly slower, so Chu You was able to dodge it completely.
Hearing Chu You's voice, Lin Luor's gaming talent came into play again, she promptly started running while also dodging the BOSS's attacks.
Pretty good!
"Do nothing, just run." Chu You immediately unleashed a storm of attacks on the BOSS.
-66, -62, -67, -165, -200!
"Just like the first challenge in the dungeon, understand the pattern and positioning." Chu You shouted whilst attacking.
"You two, add health to Lin Luor!"
Lin Luor's movement speed was not as fast as the BOSS's, so she took a few hits.
Lin Luor gradually grasped the rhythm of the moves in her heart. Acting according to her feelings, the times she was attacked decreased significantly.
-65, -63, -66, -180!
Chu You drank a small potion, his eyes filled with excitement, and continued to attack.
Lin Luor's rhythm was very good, she was worthy of her title as the best healer in her previous life.
In no time, the BOSS's health was down to the last sliver, and its hate had finally been pulled back onto Chu You.
"Everyone, add health to me!"
At the last moment, Chu You completely disregarded the shadow clone, used his elegant movement, and began to fight the BOSS head-on.
'Decapitation!'
The shadow clone behind him turned into a wisp of smoke, because its main body suddenly died!
System: Congratulations on leveling up to level 6.
Chu You, bathed in the glory of leveling up, immediately crouched down to check the corpse.
You have obtained a Wind Robe Battle Suit, Viscount Level, Physical Defense +20, Attack Power +3, Health +100, Required Level: Warrior, Level 5 or Above.
You have obtained the Wizard Skill Book: Wizard's Grace, Second Level Skill; Required Level: All-Mage, Level 5 or above; Skill Description: Consumes 150 magic points, increases magic attack power by 200 for 20 seconds, instantly casts, cools down for 5 minutes, proficiency 0/5000.
You have obtained a Healing Scepter, Viscount Level, Magic Attack Power +15, Intelligence +10, Healing Amount +2, Required Level: All-Priest, Level 5 or above.
"Suifeng, we passed the BOSS." At this time, the Sacred Priest was running on a side lane of the dungeon, he saw the information popping up his team info panel acknowledging the fall of the BOSS.
"Hehe..." Sunshine Suifeng let out a chuckle and said nothing more.
"There's a Wizard skill book that dropped, it's really your loss for not coming, and the color of the name on the skill book is Second Level, oh." The Sacred Priest thought Chu You's luck was amazing, he had potential to be a King of Europe.
...
"Night Ghost, I have to go down, the system is forcing me to log out." Lin Luor had also leveled up, currently she was Level 1 and she said so after receiving the quest item.
"Okay, then log out, have a good sleep, and tell me the answer when you wake up." Chu You replied.
"Okay!" Lin Luor turned into a light and disappeared from the dungeon.
"Pro, can we be friends?" At this time, Unrivalled Zha Flower said.
Getting ready to log out, Chu You saw the notification pop up in his communication channel, clicked on it, and accepted the friend request.
"Thank you big brother." Nanshan Dazhu was very happy.
With a smile, Chu You's figure disappeared.
Sitting up in her game pod in her elegantly simple bedroom.
Chu You stood up from it and came to the computer. After a moment of deliberation, he posted a thread on the gaming forum of the Huaxia region.
'Recruiting players, 20 spots, salary provided'!
