Logging in again, Lin Tianhao didn't head back to the level 10 monster area. Instead, he made his way towards the steep cliffs behind the newbie village.Besides the regular monsters, there was a hidden dungeon in the newbie village.The rewards for the first clear of this hidden dungeon were extremely generous.He arrived at the designated spot.There were no monsters here, and the location, being a cliff face, naturally attracted no players.In his previous life, this dungeon wasn't discovered until a week after the game's launch, by a player who stumbled upon it by accident.The condition for opening the dungeon was simple: defeat a specific Treant located there.There were many large trees in the area.Among them, one was actually a Treant in disguise.At first glance, it was easily missed."Found you."Disguised Treant (Normal): Level 10Health: 2100/2100Attack: 32Skill: DisguiseA very weak monster. Lin Tianhao attacked without hesitation.Even without targeting its weak point, he only needed three arrows to kill the Disguised Treant."Ding! You have defeated the Disguised Treant. Experience +43.""Ding! Due to your defeat of a hidden monster in the newbie village, the hidden dungeon 'Twisted Jungle' is now open.""Ding! You are the first player to open this dungeon. A server-wide announcement will be made. Do you wish to hide your name?""No.""Server Announcement: Congratulations to player Snow Emperor for successfully opening the newbie village hidden dungeon 'Twisted Jungle'! As the first player to open the dungeon, you have been rewarded with 10 free attribute points, 10 gold, and 1 Black Iron equipment. May all players strive for greater heights!"The announcement repeated across all servers, and the Twisted Jungle dungeon appeared in every newbie village.Lin Tianhao allocated all ten free attribute points to attack speed.Then, his gaze fell on the rewarded Black Iron weapon.Jungle Longbow: Black IronRequirements: None, Archer ClassEffect 1: +65 AttackEffect 2: +500 HealthEffect 3: +2% Life StealDurability: 100Lin Tianhao facepalmed. Another terrible weapon.Attack speed, attack speed, attack speed!!Could he not get a weapon that increased attack speed?This was truly a tragic situation!While Lin Tianhao was checking the weapon's stats, the player base erupted.Especially those who had already left the newbie village were filled with regret."Damn it, there's a dungeon in the newbie village? If I'd known, I wouldn't have left so early!""Hehe, good thing I'm leveling slowly. I can go farm the dungeon now.""The first clear of a dungeon should have huge rewards. Anyone want to team up? Chasing Dreams Guild is recruiting strong tanks."…Lin Tianhao had arrived at the dungeon entrance.Dungeons in Twilight of the Gods had four difficulty levels: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hell.For the level 10 Twisted Jungle, the higher the difficulty of the first clear, the better the rewards."I'll go with you, Hell difficulty.""Ding! Warning: It is not recommended to enter the Hell difficulty dungeon solo. Are you sure?""Confirm!"The Hell difficulty was indeed very challenging, but was Lin Tianhao afraid?Fortune favors the bold!His current stats weren't sufficient to solo the Hell difficulty dungeon.However, Lin Tianhao had his top-tier skills from his previous life.As soon as he entered the dungeon, Lin Tianhao saw a large number of Twisted Treants ahead.Twisted Treant (Elite): Level 10Health: 8500Attack: 129Skills: Resurgence, Vine Spin, Thorns EntangleThese elite Twisted Treants had significantly higher stats than the ones he had fought before.Thwip!Critical Hit!-1812.At the same time, Lightning Leap activated, dealing damage to the surrounding Twisted Treants.-362!-362!…The damage numbers were high. With each of Lin Tianhao's arrows being a critical hit, he only needed five arrows to kill a Treant.And because Lightning Leap had been upgraded to two stars, the damage, range, and number of targets it hit had also increased."Ding! You have defeated an elite Twisted Treant. Experience +351."Defeating monsters above his level, especially dungeon monsters, gave a considerable amount of experience.Lin Tianhao used the extra attack range from his passive skill to maintain a safe distance from the Twisted Treants, preventing them from attacking him.The Thorns Entangle skill, in particular, was the most dangerous. If it hit him, the crowd control effect would be devastating."Ding! You have reached level 8. Free attribute points +5."He leveled up and added all points to attack speed.At the same time, he cleared the first stage of the dungeon.Passing through the light gate, Lin Tianhao arrived at the second stage.As soon as he entered, dozens of Twisted Treants rushed towards him.Not only that, but Lin Tianhao also saw ten Treant Leaders.Treant Leader (Elite): Level 10Health: 18,000+Attack: 412Skills: Thorns Entangle, Resurgence, Vine Spin, Frenzied LashThey had one extra skill and far higher stats than the elite Twisted Treants.Thwip!!Lin Tianhao continued his simple but effective attacks.He constantly kited the Treants.Keeping them outside of the range of their Thorns Entangle skill.For this, he was truly grateful for the attack range increase from his passive skill.It provided him with the necessary space to kite these Treants.However, his movement speed was still a weakness.Three Treant Leaders simultaneously used Thorns Entangle on Lin Tianhao.-823.-821.-823.Huge damage numbers appeared, and Lin Tianhao was rooted in place.Lin Tianhao knew things were bad, and he was right.A barrage of attacks followed.-123.-421.-423.…Damage numbers flashed across his screen. Before Lin Tianhao could break free, another Thorns Entangle hit him.In just two seconds, Lin Tianhao lost over thirteen thousand health.His only saving grace was that the Twisted Treants weren't very intelligent. They simply used whatever skill was available.And the Treants further back couldn't reach him.Otherwise, he would have been chain-controlled to death."Not having a crowd control break skill is a huge problem," Lin Tianhao thought. "My movement speed is also too low."As soon as the control effect ended, he immediately repositioned, creating distance.At the same time, he fired an arrow, interrupting a Treant Leader's casting."Whew…"He exhaled a breath of relief. That was a close call.One wrong move, and he could have died.Losing a level was a small matter, but if someone else stole the first clear of the dungeon, he would truly regret it.Thwip!Thwip!Thwip!…Lin Tianhao was highly focused. Before, he had prioritized dealing damage, but now, he needed to dodge skills.He also had to interrupt the Treant Leaders' skills, requiring him to be constantly aware of his surroundings.
