When Wu Shaochen arrived at the instance, there were already many people here. Although they couldn't enter, many people still came here to take a look.
Wu Shaochen went directly to the entrance of the secret realm. Since he came, he might as well go in and take a look. At this time, a system prompt came.
"Ding, do you want to challenge the Linlang Secret Realm?"
"Yes."
"Ding, the Linlang Secret Realm is a team instance. You need to form a team to enter."
Form a team? No problem. Wu Shaochen directly created a team with just himself, and he didn't bother to come up with a name. The system default name for the team is DustySeal.
Trigger the challenge again...
"Ding, do you want to challenge the Linlang Secret Realm?"
"Yes."
"Ding, it has been detected that your team has too few members, and the difficulty of the secret realm is high. Each person can only challenge once a day. It is recommended that you form a full team of 10 people before proceeding."
"I don't accept your recommendation!" Wu Shaochen muttered to himself. Then he directly clicked on the confirmation to challenge and disappeared from the spot.
"Oh my god, did that person just go in?" Someone saw Wu Shaochen suddenly disappear and exclaimed.
"Darn it, I saw it too. Isn't this instance only available for level 20 players? How did he get in?" another person said.
"Are you stupid? There are people in our Jinling City who meet the requirements."
"Oh my god, it's DustySeal!"
Wu Shaochen felt the scenery change, and he appeared in a huge cave. There were three paths in front of him, leading to different places. Wu Shaochen chose the left path and walked over.
Soon, five tiger-headed humanoid monsters appeared ahead, holding large cleavers and blocking the middle of the road. Wu Shaochen used his Insight skill.
[Elite Monster] Tiger-Headed Humanoid.
Level: 20
Health: 100,000
Physical Attack: 680
Physical Defense: 420
Magic Defense: 350
Movement Speed: 86
Skill 1: Vertical Chop: Straightly chop the target with the large cleaver, dealing 175% physical damage. Cooldown: 20 seconds.
Skill 2: Horizontal Slash: Swing the large cleaver forward, causing 160% physical damage to all targets within a two-meter range. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
"Elite monster? It's the first time I've seen one. Is it only available in instances?" Wu Shaochen thought to himself. The five tiger-headed humanoids in front of him should have the same hatred. Even Wu Shaochen felt a bit of pressure. No wonder it's recommended to form a team to challenge them.
After calculating the damage in his mind, Wu Shaochen rushed towards the five tiger-headed humanoids. His normal attacks couldn't break their defense, but it wasn't a problem to withstand two sets of skills. This is the advantage of having high vitality. Wu Shaochen felt fortunate. Otherwise, he wouldn't know where to start.
In order to quickly finish the battle, Wu Shaochen rushed over, enduring the damage from the five tigers and applied four layers of poison to each of them. Then he retreated, but unfortunately, the terrain didn't allow him to kite the monsters. In a moment, he retreated to the entrance. However, the other two paths couldn't be passed. The prompt stated that the monsters in the selected path must be cleared before entering.
Okay, this is forcing me to fight. Wu Shaochen said in silence. He really thought I was afraid of those few tigers. I just wanted to save some medicine.
Soon, five tigers caught up. Wu Shaochen stopped running and directly fought them. The Tiger-headed man's normal attacks couldn't harm Wu Shaochen, although his skills could. However, skills have cooldowns, so dealing with five Tiger-headed men wasn't too difficult.
Wu Shaochen's toxin damage is still at 540. In fact, after reaching the Silver Realm, he can further increase his toxin damage. However, the skeletons he fought afterwards were not more than 5 levels higher than him, so he didn't increase his talent. Even with a toxin damage of 540, stacked with four layers, it was enough to kill these five tigers in a minute, especially since Wu Shaochen was outputting crazily.
Soon, the five tigers fell to the ground, giving him 2500 experience points, 500 experience points each. Although this experience is much higher than the level 20 monsters outside, the monsters here are much stronger than the level 20 ones, so the experience can only be considered average. However, Wu Shaochen was surprised by the drop rate. The five tigers actually dropped a piece of bronze equipment for him.
"You can get bronze equipment without even fighting a boss? It seems that after this instance is released, players' strength will suddenly increase a lot." Wu Shaochen muttered to himself.
He picked up the equipment and it turned out to be a ring that he could use.
[Tiger Ring] Bronze Rank: +400 HP, +160 Physical Attack, Additional Attributes: +23 Constitution, +25 Strength, Requirements: Physical class.
All the stats are focused on HP and attack, simple and straightforward. I like it! He quickly put it on and replaced the [Silver Wolf King Ring], which he had worn for a long time.
After wearing it, his HP increased by a whopping 515 points, reaching a total of 8842 points. His attack increased by 163 points, reaching 1518 points. Even if he hadn't added any strength, this attack was already comparable to anyone else. His attack speed decreased by 5%, dropping to 128%, but it didn't have much impact.
"Great, I got a new piece of equipment from the first batch of monsters." Wu Shaochen muttered to himself. He wanted to put the [Silver Wolf King Ring] up for auction, but was informed that the auction house couldn't be accessed in the instance, so he had to wait until he got out to change it.
He continued walking forward and soon encountered another group of Tiger-headed men, this time six of them. Wu Shaochen fearlessly fought them and managed to kill them without any danger. They dropped two pieces of white equipment, but Wu Shaochen didn't even bother to look at them.
Continuing forward, they encountered another group, this time consisting of 7 tiger-headed creatures. Even Wu Shaochen furrowed his brows at this, realizing that it could become troublesome. He didn't know how many more groups lay ahead.
After some thought, Wu Shaochen waved his hand and summoned Silver Tai Lang, asking it to share some of the damage to save on potions. He didn't want it to just gain experience without contributing.
Silver Tai Lang was currently at level 16, and its stats were decent enough to hold off two of the creatures without any issues:
[Silver Tai Lang]Pet
Talent: a
Level: 16
Health: 23,200
Mana: 1,700
Physical Attack: 560
Physical Defense: 420
Magic Defense: 210
Movement Speed: 90
With Silver Tai Lang taking on two of the creatures, Wu Shaochen effortlessly dealt with the remaining 7 tiger-headed beings, earning a piece of black iron equipment.
"Damn, the drop rate for this equipment is really high," Wu Shaochen muttered to himself.
They continued moving forward and, as expected, encountered another group, this time consisting of 8 creatures, which they easily dispatched. They pressed on and encountered 9 more creatures, which they dealt with after consuming two bottles of medium red potions. Continuing forward, they faced 10 more creatures, defeating them after consuming three bottles of medium red potions, and earned another piece of black iron equipment.
Pressing on, they finally saw the end of the passage, where a significantly larger tiger-headed creature stood.
"Phew, finally no more," Wu Shaochen sighed in relief. He was actually afraid it would keep increasing. No wonder this dungeon allowed up to 10 people to enter; the maximum number of creatures was 10.
Looking at the unusually large tiger-headed creature, Wu Shaochen used the Insight skill on it.
[Tiger-headed Chief]Dungeon Boss
Level: 20
Health: 450,000
Physical Attack: 1,150
Physical Defense: 700
Magic Defense: 650
Movement Speed: 135
Skill 1: Vertical Chop - Strikes the target with a large cleaver, dealing 175% physical damage. Cooldown: 20 seconds.
Skill 2: Horizontal Slash - Swings the large cleaver forward, causing 160% physical damage to all targets within a 2-meter range. Cooldown: 30 seconds.
Skill 3: Fury - Lets out a roar, increasing its own attack power by 50% for 30 seconds. Cooldown: 2 minutes.
"While its stats may be slightly lower than the Black Wind Stronghold's leader of the same level, it only displays 'Dungeon Boss' without any indication of its realm. But even if it can't reach Silver, it shouldn't be too far off. Let's consider it a pseudo-Silver and assume it can drop Silver equipment," Wu Shaochen thought to himself.
