**Chapter 31: [Qingqing Grassland] Dungeon**
Su Yu was no stranger to this dungeon. In his previous life as a member of the Muyun Guild, he had helped countless low-level players clear dungeons. This was not only to meet the guild's performance goals but also to enhance the overall strength of humanity.
He had visited the **Qingqing Grassland** dungeon at least twenty times, and he could navigate to Yangcun and find the village chief with his eyes closed—provided he cleared the monsters along the way.
Just a few steps down the mountain path, he spotted four goats grazing ahead, their eyes glowing a menacing red.
**[Manic Goat lv5]**
HP: 300
Attack: 25
Skill: **[Furious Charge]**: Charges towards a target location, increasing the damage of its next attack by 50%. Cooldown: 15 seconds.
**[Flock Gathering (Passive)]**: For each companion within 40 meters, damage dealt increases by 10%.
The mobs in this dungeon operated under an "elite" template, giving them 3.3 times the health of ordinary monsters. These goats were no joke—an attack from one could deal between 10 to 13 damage to a tank class. If all four attacked simultaneously, especially with their passive and damage boost, even a tank might struggle to withstand their assault. In the early game, these goats had earned a notorious reputation as "novice tank killers."
As soon as the goats spotted him, they charged with bloodthirsty fervor.
Su Yu remained calm. When the goats were just three to four meters away, he activated a **[Frost Nova]** scroll. A massive ice ring exploded from his position, sending ice crystals racing toward the hooves of the approaching goats.

The damage from **[Frost Nova]** was minimal, but its control effect was exceptional. The ice crystals froze the goats in place, rendering them immobile.
Testing his strategy, Su Yu chose not to cast **[Chain Lightning]** just yet. Instead, he unleashed a **[Rain of Fire]** scroll. Fire elementals burst forth, swirling into a molten cloud above the frozen goats. Large fire meteors rained down, crashing onto the goats' heads.

**[Rain of Fire]** dealt multi-stage damage, hitting the goats with approximately 40 points of damage every second. The goats howled in agony as they endured the relentless assault, unable to escape the icy prison binding them.
After three seconds, the freezing effect of **[Frost Nova]** wore off, but the goats were now severely weakened, having lost around 170 health points each.
With their sudden burst of freedom, the goats charged again, but they no longer posed a threat. Su Yu swiftly activated **[Chain Lightning]**.

The goats fell one by one, their bodies exuding a tantalizing aroma of roast lamb. Su Yu approached the fallen creatures, feeling an unexpected hunger. Alas, he hadn't learned the **[Cooking]** sub-profession, and could only sigh as he collected the dropped materials and equipment, continuing along the mountain path.
Beyond the **Manic Goat**, the **Qingqing Grassland** dungeon also featured various other foes: **[Arrogant Goat]** (with the skill "Arrogant Gaze," which could reduce the target's damage), **[Crazy Goat]** (with "Jump Attack"), and **Corrupted Goat** (which dealt high shadow damage). However, under Su Yu's powerful output, no goat could withstand his relentless barrage.
After dispatching two waves of goat mobs, Su Yu came face to face with the first boss of the dungeon: **[Boiled Goat Leader]**.
**[Boiled Goat Leader lv6]**
HP: 1100
Attack: 44
The **Boiled Goat Leader** was essentially a beefed-up version of the **Manic Goat**, boasting two additional passive skills: **[Flock Summoning]** and **[Bronze Iron Bone]**, which enhanced both defense and attack power, alongside the **[Furious Charge]**.
Yet for Su Yu, this boss posed little challenge. He summoned a **[Rock Element]** to taunt the boss while using **[Frost Nova]** to immobilize its minions. Su Yu then unleashed his damage output relentlessly.
As the **Boiled Goat Leader** disposed of the **Rock Element** and launched a **Jump Attack** toward Su Yu, he nimbly dodged with **[Blink]**. Despite having 1100 HP and activating **[Bronze Skin and Iron Bone]**, the boss succumbed to Su Yu's barrage in just eight seconds.
After collecting the loot from the boss, Su Yu pressed on. A few more mobs fell to his might before he encountered the second boss: **[Beautiful Goat Leader]**.
The challenge with the **Beautiful Goat Leader** was her ability to split into three forms when her HP fell below 50%. The player needed to identify the true form from the mirror images, each casting **[Charm Attack]** on him.
Having memorized the boss's differences from previous encounters, Su Yu swiftly identified the main body amidst the three clones. He unleashed a flurry of high-damage single-target spells, quickly taking down the second boss.
With the second boss defeated, Su Yu made his way to Yangcun, where the final boss awaited: **[Yamun Village Chief]**.
**[Yamun Village Chief]** was a wise man sporting glasses with a special mechanism.
With 3000 health points and an attack power of 100, the village chief could easily overpower a standard five-person team. However, before the battle commenced, the village chief posed ten questions to the player, each correct answer reducing his HP and attack power by 9%.
Having memorized the question bank in his previous life, Su Yu was ready.
"Do you know which three major human empires are on this continent?" the village chief asked.
"Of course! The Plantagenet Empire, the Lane Empire, and the Wind Chime Empire," Su Yu replied confidently.
"Then do you know what the purpose of establishing the magician force—Elemental Dome—is?" the village chief continued.
"To seek endless knowledge."
"How many teeth does the Star Casting Dragon King have?"
"34."
"What does 'shan'do' mean in Elvish?"
"Grand Druid."
"What do Pandaren usually say when they bid farewell?"
"Next time I'll ask."
Su Yu answered all ten questions flawlessly, leaving the **Yamun Village Chief** with a mere 300 HP. With a single **[Lightning Bolt]** and **[Secondary Fireball]** scroll, he cleared the entire dungeon.
