When they arrived at the entrance of the dungeon, Liu Yiyi, the team leader, nervously selected the difficult difficulty and clicked to enter. The six figures disappeared from the dungeon entrance.
"Welcome…Coming to the Crying Forest…" A low voice rang out in Lin Mo's mind, waiting for him to react, he found himself in a forest, but there were no other team members around.
Just as Liu Yiyi had said, to clear the Crying Forest, they needed to find teammates in the early stages.
When saw the monster, just turn around and run without hesitation. This was because a place with monsters meant that it was the right path, and currently, one person was not enough to advance the dungeon's progress.
Lin Mo opened the mission panel. As expected, it showed that he had to find his teammates as soon as possible. This was the first phase of the mission. However, just as Lin Mo was about to take action, a shout suddenly came from not far away.
"Lin Mo!"
Sun Bin, who was wearing a mage robe, rushed over and said with a tired expression, "I've finally found you. You've exhausted me."
"Hurry up and go. You're the only one waiting!" After saying that, he made a hand gesture to follow.
Seeing this, Lin Mo didn't find it strange, because Liu Yiyi's team had already cleared the Crying Forest once. Knowing that after entering the instance dungeon, it was normal for his teammates to appear. He simply followed.
Soon, he met up with the others.
"Where's the captain?" Lin Mo looked around and realized that Liu Yiyi was the only one missing.
"I don't know. Maybe they've already gone to the entrance to wait for us. Don't waste time," Hu Li said with a smile, "Let's hurry over too."
The team began to move forward and came to the entrance of a winding path. There were rustling sounds ahead. Clearly, there were monsters patrolling.
"Sun Bin, don't be rash later."
"Priests, don't be in a hurry to heal."
Everyone gathered in a circle and Hu Li skillfully assigned their tasks.
However, Lin Mo was still very confused. The first phase of the mission had not been completed yet, so why was he in a hurry to advance? After all, there was no time limit for the mission.
"Lin Mo, you'll be in charge of luring the monsters. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"
"No problem." Lin Mo nodded and accepted Hu Li's assignment.
However, when he entered the winding path and saw the monster's attributes, he noticed something strange.
[Name: Rusted Iron Armor Knight]
[Level: 19]
[HP: 2100]
[Skills: Stabbing, Charge, Slash]
...
Under the difficult dynamic difficulty, because of the other five professions, the Iron Armor Knight's attribute panel was a little high. What caught Lin Mo's attention was that the iron-armored knight's movement speed was very fast. Its patrolling on the winding path took only nine seconds to cover a distance of 100 meters.
At the same time, the first iron-armored knight was closer to the second. If the timing was wrong, it was very easy to lure two iron-armored knights at the same time.
From all aspects, luring monsters wasn't as easy as it looked. If they were careless, they would make a mistake and attract too many monsters, resulting in the team being wiped out. With the current strength of the team, they could only fight one iron-armored knight at a time. If there were two of them, there would be a huge risk of losing members.
Lin Mo didn't want to measure a gentleman's belly with a villain's heart. However, it was obvious that Hu Li and the others knew that luring monsters was a quest that required a lot of experience and timing. Furthermore, there was no reminder when assigning tasks.
"Playing dirty?" Lin Mo sneered. It was normal to scheme against monsters in an instance dungeon, but he did not expect to have to fight with his teammates today.
Teaming up was indeed too troublesome. Lin Mo would not swallow his anger in such a situation. In the future, he might have to cross paths with Hu Li and the others, but this time, he would give in, and the next time, the other party would push his luck. Since that was the case, Lin Mo didn't mind giving them a surprise.
He immediately stepped forward to attract the attention of the iron-armored knight. Due to the distance, the second iron-armored knight also sensed Lin Mo's presence.
"Intruders…Kill!"
"Intruders…Kill!"
The two iron-armored knights let out muffled sounds as they raised their swords and charged at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo, who was already prepared, immediately ran away. When he returned to the entrance, there was no one there. As he expected, Hu Li teamed up with his other three teammates to hide the truth from Liu Yiyi, trying to send Lin Mo to his death!
At the same time, on the other side, Liu Yiyi shuttled through the forest with a frown. But with a shout, she finally found her teammate.
"Captain, have you seen Lin Mo?" Sun Bin ran all the way here and panted heavily."We've been looking for him for a long time, but we haven't found him."
"Is he not with you?"
"No!"
"How is that possible? This forest is very small." Liu Yiyi frowned and opened the team panel. She checked the status and information of each member and found that Lin Mo was fine. His HP was still at 100%, and his mana did not decrease. This meant that he had not encountered any battle.
"Have you searched the winding path?"
"No!" Sun Bin lied through his teeth and said, "But it seems…I saw Lin Mo before, but he didn't respond to me at all."
The task Hu Li assigned Sun Bin was to stall Liu Yiyi. The longer he delayed, the better. There was no time limit for the first stage of the Crying Forest. As long as Lin Mo was eliminated, they would immediately meet up and push forward the progress of the dungeon. Even if Liu Yiyi pursued the matter, Hu Li and the others had nothing to fear.
As teammates, they didn't know Liu Yiyi's family background, but they knew that she was short of money, so she wouldn't fall out over such a small matter.
Soon, under Sun Bin's lead, Liu Yiyi, Hu Li, and the others gathered together. However, when faced with Lin Mo's whereabouts, none of them knew anything.
"I really don't know where Lin Mo is. I've been following Brother Hu!"
"By the way, monitor, didn't you tell him the meeting point?"
"....."
Liu Yiyi's expression became even more solemn, her eyes kept staring at the party panel.
"If we split up and look for him now, we'll be finished if he accidentally enters the winding path!"
Liu Yiyi's words made everyone laugh coldly. Under Hu Li's guidance, Lin Mo had already entered the winding path and was probably running for his life.
Hu Li was the proudest. After all, he was the one who thought of this method. The only pity was that he didn't get to see Lin Mo's sorry state with his own eyes.
"Alright, class monitor, wait here. We'll go find him."
"Yes. If he comes over, you can help Lin Mo." After the three of them finished speaking, they prepared to run elsewhere to fish. However, before he could take a few steps, his eyes suddenly froze.
"Why did you stop?"
" Don't be lazy. Go find Lin Mo! "
Hu Li stepped forward and berated. However, after immediately seeing a figure in front of him, Hu Li's mouth was wide open as he fell into deep shock.
