Tier 3 Summoned Beast
Suppressing his anger, Principal ordered another teacher, "Hurry and notify the comrades from the Law Enforcement Team to come over."
The death of two S-rank talent students was no small matter; it would even alert the leaders of the Education Bureau.
"Chen Hongwei, when the comrades from the Law Enforcement Team arrive, you can explain it to them clearly yourself."
Chen Hongwei's face fell, and he thought to himself: 'Oh, I'm done for!'
Great, that's that then. Forget about becoming the grade director; whether I can even keep my job is another question entirely.
Lin Yuan, oh Lin Yuan, why do you have to be such a headache?
...
Lin Yuan had no idea what a sensation his ordinary action had caused at the school; he had already arrived inside the Dungeon.
【You have entered the Golden Tooth Ruins (Nightmare difficulty). This Dungeon is extremely dangerous.】
The blood-red prompt appeared repeatedly, proving that a Dungeon of Nightmare difficulty was far from ordinary, but Lin Yuan was not the least bit panicked because A Li was ready to promote to Tier 3.
【Consume 500 evolution points. Tier 2 Black Iron Guard promotes to Tier 3 Bronze Guard.】
【A Li】 (Tier 3 Bronze Guard)
【Level】: LV5
【Race】: Darkkin
【HP】: 10000
【MP】: 4000
【Attack】: 2000
【Defense】: 1000
【Strength】: 1000
【Agility】: 1000
【Stamina】: 500
【Intelligence】: 400
【Talent】: Martial Arts Heavenly King (SSS)
【Skills】: Shield Bash (C), Shield Block (C), Shield Mastery (Passive), Sword Mastery (Passive), Drawing Slash (B), Charge (C), Backstep (D)
Just look at these magnificent stats and the list of skills that wouldn't even fit in a single row—everything displayed A Li's power.
A Level 5 Summoned Beast with 10,000 HP and 2,000 Attack—Lin Yuan wanted to shout out loud: "Who else is there!"
"Holy crap!"
"Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap!"
No need to guess, it was Sun Xu shouting and hollering again. After entering the Dungeon, Sun Xu felt completely uneasy; it was a sense of crisis that he might die at any moment, so Sun Xu chose to possess A Li.
Then, Sun Xu saw A Li's HP bar. One, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand.
"Brother Lin, I didn't see that wrong, did I? 10,000 HP."
"Calm down, what are you yelling about?"
Lin Yuan shoved his hands in his pockets, his eyes scanning the surrounding environment.
The environment of the Golden Tooth Ruins in Nightmare difficulty was completely different from the novice difficulty.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and the ground looked as if it had been bombarded by mortars continuously for half an hour.
The place where Lin Yuan stood was a hollow. Lin Yuan stomped his foot and found the ground to be incredibly hard; beneath his feet was a massive iron mine.
At the edge of the hollow, a Kobold, 1.5 meters tall with dark skin, was swinging an iron pickaxe and striking the ground forcefully. Clang! Clang! Clang!
Every two strikes, a piece of iron ore the size of a soccer ball would be dug out.
At this rate of excavation, in another 5 minutes, the Kobold would discover Lin Yuan and the others.
【Kobold Laborer】
【Level: LV5】
【HP: 3000】
【Attack: 120】
【Defense: 50】
【Skill (Eat My Pickaxe): Swings the iron pickaxe forcefully, dealing 150 damage to the target】
In Nightmare difficulty, a normal mob actually had 3,000 HP. No wonder the clearance rate for Nightmare difficulty was so low.
"A Li." Lin Yuan spoke, issuing the combat command.
A Li's body moved like a phantom, instantly darting forward.
【Charge】 (C-rank) Skill Description: Charges to the target at extremely high speed, causing a 1-second stun. (Cooldown 30 seconds)
In the blink of an eye, A Li covered 30 meters and slammed into the Kobold Laborer. Then, with two normal attacks, the Kobold Laborer's HP instantly bottomed out.
- 1970, - 3940 (Critical Hit)
【Killed Kobold Laborer (LV5), gained 50 EXP】
The EXP was so-so. Of course, that was only for Lin Yuan; if any other team came in, it would definitely be impossible to kill the Kobold Laborer this quickly.
With 3,000 HP, it would take at least a dozen seconds to finish it off, and they would also have to worry about not aggroing other monsters.
To be honest, it wasn't as profitable as farming a normal difficulty Dungeon.
Walking out of the hollow, Lin Yuan saw Kobold Laborers everywhere, including many Kobolds driving transport carts. These Kobolds were responsible for transporting the excavated iron ore to a certain location.
Just now, Sun Xu had seen A Li kill a Kobold Laborer in two normal attacks, and his courage had suddenly grown a lot.
If normal attacks were this badass, how strong must the skills be? Sun Xu still remembered the bright flash of the blade that killed Copper Tooth.
Seeing an empty transport cart nearby, he quickly reminded him, "Brother Lin, there's a cart!"
"You can drive the cart to lure the monsters and do a one-wave clear."
"Yo, you've gotten brave, daring to talk about one-wave clears now." Lin Yuan teased.
"Heh, it's because your Summoned Beast has an AoE skill, you know, the one that swipes and kills a whole group."
Sun Xu gestured the pose of Drawing Slash, "With such a strong skill, it would be a waste not to do a one-wave clear."
Lin Yuan thought that made sense. Although A Li could finish off a Kobold Laborer in two hits, the monsters were too far apart, and killing them one by one was too time-consuming.
Lin Yuan sat on the transport cart and started it. The cart seemed like a product of the Steam Revolution era; after starting, it made a chugging sound and emitted a large amount of steam from the front. Grabbing the steering wheel firmly, Lin Yuan floored the accelerator, and it chugged away until it vanished.
Other transport carts moved very slowly because they had to deliver the ore safely to the forge. If anything went wrong, the consequences would definitely be more than a Kobold Laborer could bear.
Lin Yuan had no such concerns. His goal was only one thing: to lure the monsters. Pulling out his flintlock, Lin Yuan fired a shot at the nearest Kobold Laborer. Bang!
- 690. The flintlock fired once every two seconds; Lin Yuan fired whenever it was ready. Missing didn't matter, as long as he could attract the attention of the Kobold Laborer.
Disturbed by Lin Yuan, all the Kobolds on the ground rushed toward him. Seeing they couldn't catch up to Lin Yuan, many Kobolds also hopped into transport carts and began chasing Lin Yuan.
Five transport carts intercepted Lin Yuan from different directions. These Kobolds had no intention of braking at all; it was clear they intended to ram him to death.
"Yo, you want to stop me? You're still too green."
He cranked the steering wheel, opened the steam-powered cart's throttle to the max, and with a whoosh, zipped through the middle of the five transport carts. If anyone saw this scene, they would definitely doubt their own eyes—was this really a Nightmare difficulty Dungeon? How did it get turned into KartRider?
Two minutes later, the transport cart stopped in front of A Li. Lin Yuan landed stylishly, "Vroom vroom vroom, first place!"
