76: Enter the temple
Looking in from the outside, the castle was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
Without the slightest hesitation, Huang Chen pushed open the main gate and walked into the darkness.
Huang Chen had been to this place in his previous life. As long as one walked through the main gate, they would be directly teleported to the first floor of the temple.
The six women behind him were startled when Huang Chen's close figure suddenly vanished.
However, Huang Chen's message soon came through the team chat.
“Come in!”
Looking at the darkness before them, Xie Chunyan swallowed, exchanged glances with Bai Zhaoning and the others, and still bravely stepped through the main gate.
After a brief dizziness, like a teleportation, an extremely shocking scene appeared before everyone.
This was an underground plaza about 100 meters long and wide, and a full twenty meters high. A giant luminous pearl hung from the dome, illuminating the hall brightly.
On each of the four walls of the plaza was an arched passage about 10 meters long and wide.
Standing in the plaza, one could vaguely see shadowy figures in the passages.
The Woma Temple has three floors. Except for the final Woma Cult Master Temple, the other areas are composed of intricate passages.
If one doesn't know the way, it's easy to get lost inside the Woma Temple.
Therefore, in his previous life, some people also called it the Woma Labyrinth.
However, Huang Chen now had the monster intelligence provided by Jin Wanliang, allowing him to directly find the optimal route.
“Follow me.”
After discerning the direction, Huang Chen walked into the passage on the left.
Every twenty meters or so in the passage, there was a small luminous pearl emitting a faint glow.
The appearance of Huang Chen and the others immediately attracted the attention of the nearest Flame Woma, which had a dragon's head, fleshy wings, and an orange-red body.
[Flame Woma Lv40 Ordinary Gold]
As soon as the Flame Woma saw the intruders, it immediately flapped its wings and charged towards Huang Chen and the others.
“Soul Severing Stab!”
Huang Chen moved his feet and directly charged at the Flame Woma.
-98456
The attribute point suppression instantly stunned the Flame Woma.
“Three-Fold Sun Strike!”
-121212
-151245
-185421
“Returning Wind Falling Goose!”
-142121
“Three-Fold Sun Strike!”
...The Demon Wolf Spear in Huang Chen's hand danced rapidly, and he skillfully executed three metal-attribute spear techniques one after another.
The Flame Woma didn't even have time to retaliate before it turned into a white light and disappeared, leaving behind a dozen silver coins and a staff.
[Fire Dragon Staff] Silver Grade
1: Normal Attack +1200,
2: Fire Damage Deepened 40%,
3: Attack Speed +20%,
4: Burn Duration +50%,
Equip Level: Level 35.
“Wow, the drop rate here is so high.”
Li Ruo couldn't help but exclaim as she looked at the attributes sent by Bai Zhaoning.
“Fire-attribute external skill, for you.”
Huang Chen took the staff and casually tossed it to Xia Qing.
Xia Qing was on a fire-attribute external skill path, and she was almost Level 34. She could put it in her backpack for now and equip it directly once she reached Level 35.
“Thank you, hubby!”
Xia Qing happily put away the Fire Dragon Staff and kissed Huang Chen on the cheek.
“Keep going, keep going. The drop rate here is so high; we have to get all our equipment today, no matter what.”
Li Ruo urged.
“No rush. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the only way to win every battle.”
Huang Chen took out the intelligence manual and shared the situation of the Woma Temple in the chat box.
[The Woma Temple has three floors. The first floor mainly consists of Level 40 ordinary monsters of gold grade, with a few elite monsters and Level 45 ordinary monsters of gold grade.
The second floor mainly consists of Level 45 ordinary monsters of dark gold grade, with a few elite monsters and Level 50 ordinary monsters of dark gold grade.
The third floor is the Woma Cult Master Hall, mainly consisting of Level 50 monsters of diamond grade, with a relatively large number of elites, and also a Cult Master. Note: The monster density in the hall is very high.
Woma ordinary monsters are divided into two categories: one is magic-type, with high magic defense and low physical defense; the other is physical-type, with high physical defense and low magic defense.]
“What we learn from books is ultimately shallow. You all wait here; I'll lure a few over for you to practice against.”
With that, Huang Chen activated all his Halos and ran deep into the corridor. He turned a corner and his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
However, in just over ten seconds, he was followed by a dozen bloodthirsty Woma.
Besides the Flame Woma's appearance, there was also another type, the Woma Guard, holding two knives.
The Flame Woma followed Huang Chen, continuously casting “Fireball” at him. The fireballs exploded, but only dealt a thousand or eight hundred points of damage to Huang Chen.
“Prepare to engage the monsters. Mages attack the Guards, melee attacks the Flame Woma.”
Huang Chen said in the team, and his figure directly bypassed everyone to the rear.
All the women immediately became vigilant upon hearing this.
Bai Zhaoning and Chen Yichun simultaneously cast Universal Salvation on themselves; this was a habit they had developed since Novice Village.
“Attack!”
Xia Qing and Li Ruo, the two melee fighters, rushed forward first. The long staffs in their hands drew graceful arcs as they swung them at the heads of the Flame Woma, but only dealt meager damage... “Bang~”
-5412
-7312
“Wind Sweeping Residual Snow”,
“A Leaf Knows Autumn”,
“Poison Sand Palm”
-5412
-1351
-3541
...At the same time, the other women also used various skills on the Woma Guards, yet they still only dealt a few thousand points of damage.
And the one starting with a '1' was, of course, dealt by He Qingwan.
“I feel like these monsters are harder to fight than bosses!!”
Li Ruo was speechless. She saw Huang Chen effortlessly defeat them in a few moves.
But her staff was almost a blur, and she couldn't even reduce half of the Woma's health in three minutes. Instead, when hit by a Woma's skill, she would lose a small portion of her health.
The two sides were simply not on the same level.
Fortunately, Huang Chen had many Halos, especially the Northern Darkness Aura. Under Life Link, one person's lifesteal benefited seven people.
In a short time, the six women were actually able to fight back and forth with the Woma.
Finally, after more than ten minutes, all the dozen Woma that Huang Chen had lured fell.
“Finally done fighting...”
The women felt like these ten-plus minutes had lasted a century, and they were all exhausted.
What was even more infuriating was that not a single piece of equipment dropped this time.
Li Ruo pouted and said angrily, “We fought for so long, and didn't even get a consolation prize.”
“Hehe, that one just now was lucky. Equipment isn't that easy to drop,” Bai Zhaoning comforted.
Just as the women were complaining, Huang Chen walked over and said, “Alright! If you're tired, eat [Physique] and [soul crystal]. Next, we're going to rush straight to the Cult Master Hall.”
“Directly rush?” Xie Chunyan had some worry in her eyes.
After all, the intelligence mentioned that the deeper they went, the denser the monsters would be, and the danger level would increase geometrically.
“Yes, I'll lead the way, and you just follow me. The priority now is to reach Level 40; we don't have time for you to fight slowly!”
