【You have entered the Dark Grotto (hell difficulty)】

【You may choose to leave the current Dungeon after surviving for 30 minutes】

【You have entered the Blinded state, remaining duration: 30 minutes】

The moment he entered the Dungeon, Lin Yuan felt endless darkness wash over him.

He thought it was an aftereffect of entering the Teleportation Gate, or perhaps the darkness caused by the environment of the Dark Grotto.

As it turned out, he was affected by the negative status effect of the hell difficulty Dungeon, a Blinded state lasting for 30 minutes.

If it were any other Professional, they would probably be wishing for death.

Asking a blind man to survive for 30 minutes in a hell difficulty Dungeon, isn't that just a joke?

He couldn't even see the monsters, so he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

Although Lin Yuan was blinded, he did not panic.

He raised his hand and cast a summoning skill, and A Li, Ghost, and A Lan appeared beside him.

Although Lin Yuan was blind, his three generals were not.

A Li stood in front and to the left of Lin Yuan, gazing vigilantly at his surroundings.

In the darkness, some monsters made a "rustling" sound, and it seemed they were nearby.

A Li drew his sword and swept it across.

Swish!

The sizzling sound of blades touching skin rang out continuously.

-317200

-316862

In an instant, over a dozen unknown creatures died under A Li's sword.

The Sweep skill had a small range and a long cooldown, but its greatest advantage was that it refreshed its cooldown after killing an enemy.

For the time that followed, one could only hear A Li stepping forward, constantly using Sweep, killing wave after wave of monsters in the darkness.

Finally, A Li swung his sword one last time and struck something heavy, signifying that the monsters had all been killed.

【Killed Cavemen (LV25) * 164, EXP + 24600】

【Sweep (C) meets the promotion requirements, promoted to Waltz Slash (B)】

【Waltz Slash】 (B)

Skill Description: Consumes 500 Mana, launches a slash at targets within a 3-meter radius, dealing 150% attack damage. Cooldown is 20 seconds. If more than 10 targets are killed, the skill cooldown is refreshed.

"Truly worthy of being hell difficulty," Lin Yuan said, rubbing his chin.

"To withstand the attack of 164 level 25 Cavemen while blinded... even a full 25-person team might not be able to do it."

A Li had single-handedly killed all the Cavemen.

Ghost and A Lan were not idle either.

The Gate of the Undead swung open, and thousands of undead appeared around Lin Yuan.

The originally pitch-black environment gained a faint glimmer of light from the soul fire in the eyes of the undead.

Through this faint light, one could vaguely see the appearance of the Cavemen killed by A Li.

The Cavemen were about 1.5 meters tall, looking somewhat like seals walking upright.

The Cavemen had no eyes and had ring-like patterns on their bodies similar to those on earthworms.

They relied on these patterns to determine direction in the darkness.

A Lan helped Lin Yuan walk up to the throne.

After sitting down, Lin Yuan extended his right hand forward.

"Turn this Dungeon upside down for me."

"hell difficulty, I'd like to see what makes it so different."

At his command, the undead rushed out in all directions like a tidal wave.

Under the illumination of the soul fire, the originally pitch-black Dark Grotto began to have light.

Ghost followed by Lin Yuan's side, holding up the throne as they moved slowly forward.

The Dungeon before them seemed to be deep underground.

Lin Yuan was currently on one of its floors.

To leave the current location, he had to find the mechanism to open the path to the next floor.

Lin Yuan was currently in a blinded state, so the task of finding the mechanism fell to his Summoned Beast.

Hundreds of undead searched back and forth along the edges.

Finally, they found a protruding stone.

A Li walked over and pressed it hard.

A passage two meters high and three meters wide appeared before everyone.

Ghost waved his large hand, and the undead cannon fodder led the way.

Lin Yuan followed slowly, moving down to the next floor.

Just in case, Lin Yuan left a thousand undead behind.

Arriving at the next floor, it was no different from the previous floor; still pitch black, and the monsters encountered were still Cavemen.

【Caveman】 (Tier 2 Boss)

【Level: LV25】

【HP: 300000】

【Attack: 0】

【Defense: 5000】

【Skill 1 (Sharp Teeth): Biting an enemy deals 500 True Damage, ignoring defense effects.】

【Skill 2 (Embrittlement): Wraps the body around the target; after 5 seconds, reduces the target's defense by 100%.】

The Cavemen were truly at the bottom of the underground food chain.

Their attack power was actually zero, and their defense was pitifully fragile.

The only slightly threatening thing was Skill 1, Sharp Teeth, which dealt 500 True Damage while ignoring defense.

Theoretically, this skill could kill a god.

Imagine millions of Cavemen biting a single target simultaneously; it could deal hundreds of millions in damage.

But that could only be imagined in one's mind.

With millions of Cavemen, let alone gods, if given enough time, A Li could kill them all.

The number of Cavemen on this floor was 146.

Under the encirclement of A Li and the Undead Army, in less than 2 minutes, they were all dead.

In fact, there was no need for A Li to take action; the undead could have solved it all.

However, A Li wanted to grind skill proficiency.

A Li was somewhat dissatisfied with the levels of the skills he had mastered.

Look at Ghost; even though he came later, he had already mastered several SS-rank Skills.

He was Lin Yuan's first Summoned Beast, yet he didn't even have a single S-rank Skill.

Therefore, A Li seized every opportunity to grind skill proficiency, mainly practicing Death Sentence Sword Qi and Flash.

【Killed Cavemen (LV25) * 146, EXP + 21900】

After clearing out the Cavemen on this floor, Lin Yuan's EXP exceeded 100,000.

Lin Yuan was happy.

"The EXP isn't bad; over twenty thousand per floor. If I clear a few more floors, I guess my EXP will be maxed out."

"Continue looking for the exit."

The undead continued to search along the edge areas.

3 minutes later, they found the same protrusion as the previous floor.

They continued down to the next floor.

This time, they encountered different monsters.

【Caveman Spellcaster】 (Tier 3 Elite)

【Level: LV28】

【HP: 480000】

【Mana: 50000】

【Attack: 0】

【Defense: 8000】

【Skill 1 (Mana Surge): Attacks consume 300 Mana and deal magic damage equal to Mana * 2.】

【Skill 2 (Mana Recovery): Restores 0.5% of max Mana per second.】

【Skill 3 (Shadow Bolt): Casts for 1.5 seconds, fires a Shadow Bolt at the target, dealing 800 Shadow magic damage.】

"Caveman Spellcaster?" Lin Yuan was speechless.

"How can such a low-level creature give birth to a Spellcaster?"

"They don't have eyes, what do they use to aim?"

Lin Yuan was still in a blinded state.

If you told him there were enemies some meters ahead, he would be blind when casting spells.

He really wanted to know what the eyeless Cavemen relied on to determine the location of their enemies.
