Lin Tianhao could only hope he was overthinking things; otherwise, his current situation wouldn't be very optimistic.The old village chief suspected him. He had originally thought that by letting the old drunkard go, he could gain Blacksmith Wang's trust.His later interactions with Blacksmith Wang had also led Lin Tianhao to believe that Blacksmith Wang trusted him to some extent.But if meeting the old village chief here today was truly part of Blacksmith Wang's scheme, then it was truly terrifying.Before even reaching the mine, the old drunkard suddenly appeared."Snow Emperor."The old drunkard looked at Lin Tianhao. "I was originally waiting for you at the cliff.""But the old village chief suddenly arrived, so I had to hide."Lin Tianhao breathed a slight sigh of relief."What do we do now?""Search for the Iceflame Demon Ore."The old drunkard said seriously, "There are three Iceflame Demon Ores in the novice village. The first one disappeared before.""There are two more, and they should be nearby."Lin Tianhao nodded. The Iceflame Demon Ore would reward a platinum-grade necklace.It was impossible to say Lin Tianhao wasn't tempted.But giving up his carefully laid plans for a platinum-grade necklace was not what Lin Tianhao wanted.In the following time, Lin Tianhao and the old drunkard searched the area.Judging from the current situation, there was likely a hidden dungeon in the mine.However, Lin Tianhao didn't remember how to open this hidden dungeon in his memories.But there was definitely a way.For example, he could try to find clues from the Armored Beetle King.After all, the monsters in the mine were Armored Beetles.With this in mind, Lin Tianhao began grinding Armored Beetles.He could only increase his health; he couldn't gain experience points.Lin Tianhao was already used to this.Leveling up was the easiest thing for him.He wanted to squeeze as much value as possible out of the novice village while also increasing his health."Ding, due to your mass slaughter of Armored Beetles, you have alarmed the Armored Beetle King hidden deep in the mine. It will arrive on the battlefield in five minutes."Lin Tianhao became somewhat expectant.The Iceflame Demon Ore was probably related to the Armored Beetle King.Five minutes later…A huge Armored Beetle King with a dark red shell walked towards him.Armored Beetle King (Black Iron): Level 8Health: /Attack: 215Skills: Rockfall, Stone Shield, Terrifying Howl, Stone Ball Cannon, Petrified SkinLin Tianhao just glanced at the Armored Beetle's stats and then began a storm of attacks.Crit…-4918!!Lin Tianhao's first arrow dealt critical damage.This damage value was also ridiculously high.Moreover, with the Nine-Union Longbow's boost, Lin Tianhao's attack speed reached 463, dealing 20,000 damage per second.The Armored Beetle King's health was only over 80,000, and it was killed in less than five seconds."Ding, you have killed the Armored Beetle King, experience +859. Since you have not left the novice village, you cannot gain experience."Lin Tianhao didn't care and directly looted the corpse."Ding, you have obtained three pieces of equipment.""Ding, you have obtained a skill book.""Ding, you have obtained the Armored Beetle King's eyeball +1.""Ding, you have obtained gold coins +1."Lin Tianhao raised an eyebrow. He looked at the Armored Beetle King's eyeball and suddenly thought of a place that seemed to perfectly match this eyeball.Deep in the mine!Lin Tianhao arrived in front of a stone wall. In the corner of the stone wall was an inconspicuous groove.If one looked closely, they would find that this groove perfectly matched the Armored Beetle King's eyeball.Lin Tianhao placed the Armored Beetle King's eyeball in it.The stone wall immediately began to rotate, eventually forming a dungeon portal."Ding, you have opened the hidden dungeon: The Lost Princess.""Ding, you have opened a hidden dungeon. A server-wide announcement will be made. Do you want to hide your name?""Hide."The matters in the novice village hadn't stabilized yet, and Lin Tianhao had to consider the thoughts of the old village chief and the others."Server-wide announcement, congratulations to player with hidden nickname for opening the hidden dungeon The Lost Princess, free attribute points +5. We hope all players will continue their efforts.""Server-wide announcement, congratulations to player with hidden nickname for opening the hidden dungeon The Lost Princess, free attribute points +5. We hope all players will continue their efforts."…Lin Tianhao raised an eyebrow and entered the portal.The dungeon options appeared in front of Lin Tianhao."Hell difficulty."Without any hesitation.Lin Tianhao still chose Hell difficulty.This difficulty was almost impossible for most ordinary players.Entering the dungeon.Lin Tianhao was still deep within the mine.The mine was dimly lit, and Lin Tianhao saw one small zombie after another appear in front of him!Damn it!The novice village actually had undead monsters!Undead monsters usually appeared more frequently in the mid-game. If undead monsters appeared occasionally in the early game, they would be in relatively high-level dungeons.Small Zombie (Elite): Level 8Health: /Attack: 95Skills: Headlong Rush, Iron Skin, BiteThe stats weren't weak.Lin Tianhao attacked without hesitation.The small zombies' Iron Skin was just for show for Lin Tianhao.After all, his damage was true damage.-2250!A huge damage number appeared.This was still damage without a critical hit.It could be described as terrifying.Coupled with Lin Tianhao's high output, the small zombies were killed before they could even get close.More and more small zombies appeared, and Lin Tianhao still fought as before, kiting them.As long as the damage was sufficient, these small zombies were just decorations.Lin Tianhao easily passed the first level.The next second level.Besides the small zombies, some green zombies also appeared, with a significant increase in stats.But they still couldn't stop Lin Tianhao's advance.The third level.Lin Tianhao had just arrived here, like the Twisted Jungle.There were four Black Iron-grade bosses here.Purple Zombie (Black Iron): Level 8Health: /Attack: 512Skills: Headlong Rush, Iron Skin, Bite, Whirlwind Kill, Corpse QiLin Tianhao frowned slightly. The Purple Zombies' health was alright, but the other stats and skills seemed very ordinary.Just as Lin Tianhao thought this, the four Purple Zombies simultaneously activated Corpse Qi.A large amount of Corpse Qi gathered towards Lin Tianhao."Ding, you are affected by Corpse Qi. Your body begins to stiffen, movement speed decreased by 50%, attack speed decreased by 50%."At the same time, damage numbers appeared above Lin Tianhao's head.-299.-299.The damage numbers appeared very frequently, four times per second.This caused Lin Tianhao to lose 1,200 health per second.Even with health recovery, Lin Tianhao's health was still decreasing by several hundred per second.Whoosh!Lin Tianhao attacked. He wasn't one to sit and wait for death.Bang!An arrow hit a head.Critical hit!!-4548.
