38: Enter the dungeon

Compared to his other companions, Pang Tao thought more deeply.

From the brief exchange just now, Li Feng's strength was superior to He Wei's.

After killing them, Li Feng would definitely enter the Dungeon as well.

Although He Wei's progress was far ahead and he might clear it soon, what if he was overtaken?

The more he pondered, the more solemn Pang Tao's expression became.

He didn't dare to delay and quickly @ He Wei, meticulously detailing the whole story.

Inside the Dungeon, He Wei led his hundreds of Troops in a rapid march along a mountain path.

His Troops were all at least Tier 4, so their marching speed was very fast.

Along the way, human monsters occasionally rushed out; those were Dungeon monsters.

However, facing He Wei's numerous Troops, these Dungeon monsters were quickly wiped out.

He Wei sat on the shoulder of a Tier 6 King Kong Gorilla, looking down.

After entering the Dungeon, he was teleported to the foot of this mountain.

It took him over an hour to fight his way from the foot of the mountain to here, and he was now close to the summit.

"Progress has already exceeded 65%. I can clear it in at most another hour. The Dungeon's First Clear is definitely mine."

He Wei looked at the faintly visible mountain peak, a smile on his face.

Among the rewards for the Dungeon's First Clear, there was not only a Tier 6 Troops blueprint but also a Tier 6 War Treasure.

As long as he obtained these two rewards, his strength would undoubtedly increase significantly.

"My A-grade Mirror Replication talent allows me to multiply the number of Troops I summon by 5. As long as I get a new Tier 6 Troops altar, I can summon 10 Tier 6 Troops every day."

"It won't be long before I sweep everything aside. Fang Song, Li Feng, and the like will all be trampled underfoot. If I encounter them, I'll send them straight back to Earth."

He Wei envisioned his future, and the more he thought about it, the more comfortable he felt.

Just then, he received a mention from Pang Tao.

"Strange, why is he @ing me now?"

He Wei felt suspicious and opened the private chat channel to check.

After reading the messages in the group, he was stunned.

He internally exclaimed, "Holy crap!"

Some ruthless person had annihilated Pang Tao and the others and entered the Dungeon.

If it were anyone else, even Fang Song, who was currently first on the leaderboard, He Wei wouldn't be too concerned.

Because he was truly not far from the summit.

But damn it, this ruthless person was actually Li Feng!

It was Li Feng, the one who had taken first place in monster siege speed kills for seven consecutive days!

Upon learning this news, He Wei immediately blew up.

He unleashed a barrage of insults in the private chat channel.

"Are you all good-for-nothings? You couldn't even stop one person!"

"A bunch of incompetents, what good are you?"

"Useless, good-for-nothing, idiots, trash..."

He Wei furiously spewed insults, venting his displeasure.

Although Pang Tao and the others were annoyed, they didn't dare to utter a sound, letting He Wei's tirade continue.

After a full minute of ranting, He Wei finally stopped.

Calming down, he also understood.

It really wasn't Pang Tao and the others' fault; they had tried their best.

Seeing that He Wei had stopped, a Lord then asked, "Brother Wei, what do we do now?"

He Wei rolled his eyes, "What else can we do? I can only try my best to clear it. My current progress has already exceeded 65%, and I'm not far from clearing it. Even Li Feng won't be able to catch up to me."

"After I get the Dungeon's First Clear reward, I'll develop for a while and then settle scores with him to avenge you all. It's his bad luck to be born in the same region as us!"

As if thinking of something, He Wei's face was again filled with a smile.

Expelling a Chosen One who might contend for first place in the assessment from the Endless Continent seemed quite satisfying.

In the Thorny Jungle, Pang Tao finished reading He Wei's confident statement, looking as if he wanted to speak but held back.

He really wanted to tell He Wei that Li Feng's strength was very, very strong, and he absolutely couldn't be careless.

But he also knew that honest advice was often unpleasant to hear.

Warning He Wei might not earn him goodwill; instead, it could fill him with resentment.

In the end, he said nothing.

He could only pray in his heart that He Wei would achieve the Dungeon's First Clear; otherwise, their entire Giant Elephant Alliance might suffer misfortune... On the other side, Li Feng had already led his Troops into the Dungeon.

With a blur before his eyes, he had arrived at the foot of a large mountain.

In his mind, the will of heaven's voice resounded.

"Welcome to the Evil Mountain Stronghold Dungeon!"

"This Dungeon is a Normal-grade single-player Dungeon. Clear it by killing all monsters within."

"Friendly reminder: This Dungeon is the first Dungeon during the novice assessment period. The first Lord to clear it will receive generous rewards."

In the Endless Continent.

Dungeon quality, like Heroes, is also divided into five grades.

Normal-grade Dungeons are the simplest Dungeons.

At the same time, Dungeons are also divided into single-player Dungeons and multiplayer Dungeons.

Single-player Dungeons can only be challenged by a single Lord.

Similar to Dungeons in online games, although Li Feng and He Wei both entered the same Dungeon entrance, they appeared in different Dungeon worlds, and the two parties would not meet within the Dungeon.

Before Li Feng was a wide mountain path, clearly indicating that he had to fight his way up this path.

"Advance!"

Li Feng didn't waste any time.

Pang Tao had mentioned earlier that their alliance leader was currently in the Dungeon.

If he didn't hurry, the Dungeon's First Clear might be lost.

Time was pressing, so he immediately ordered all Flying Mantises to go full speed, heading straight for the summit.

The Dungeon monsters along the way didn't need to be deliberately killed; they were instantly eliminated as they passed.

As for him, he followed behind with the Buzzwole, clearing up any remaining Dungeon monsters.

The next moment, all Flying Mantises immediately flew towards the summit, even directly using their High-Speed Movement skill.

As they passed, Dungeon monsters hidden along the mountain path appeared.

They were human Troops with black cloths covering their faces, wielding machetes.

Named Extremely Evil Mountain Bandits, they were all Tier 1 Troops.

Before the Flying Mantises, they were instantly killed.

Your Troops killed an Extremely Evil Mountain Bandit. Your Troops gained a small amount of experience. You gained Gold * 1!

Your Troops killed an Extremely Evil Mountain Bandit. Your Troops gained a small amount of experience. You gained Gold * 1!

...

Li Feng then led the Buzzwole closely behind.

Because the Flying Mantises were on a forced march, some Dungeon monsters were still left behind and not killed.

These remaining monsters were naturally left to the Buzzwole.

Although Buzzwole were front-line Troops, primarily responsible for taking damage, they were still Tier 4 Troops, making it very easy to kill these low-tier Dungeon monsters.

Li Feng's efficiency was very high; in just twenty minutes, the Dungeon's progress exceeded 90%.

Soon, he arrived at the summit.

A huge mountain stronghold stood on the summit, and all the Dungeon monsters inside were Tier 3.

At this moment, shouts of battle filled the mountain stronghold.

The Flying Mantises entered as if into an uninhabited land, wantonly slaughtering the Dungeon monsters within the stronghold...
