Eat my exhaust fumes!
Lin Yuan gently twisted his right hand, and the motorcycle let out a buzzing roar. At the sound of it, any man's adrenaline would instantly surge.
As the saying goes, a good horse deserves a good saddle. With Lin Yuan riding the motorcycle and an old-fashioned flintlock pistol tucked into his waist, he gave off the full vibe of a Ghost Rider. "Cool" was the only word for it.
【Vehicle: Steam Motorcycle】
【Grade: Bronze】
【Can be taken out of the Dungeon: No】
It couldn't be taken out; it could only be used inside the Dungeon.
"I'm going to lure the monsters."
"Sun Xu, you and A Li wait for me at that hill ahead."
Sun Xu knew how to ride a motorcycle, but his frail frame couldn't withstand the Kobolds' attacks. If a few ranged monsters appeared, he would be insta-killed in a single round of attacks.
A Li had enough HP, but he didn't know how to ride a motorcycle, so Lin Yuan had to do it himself.
With 1800 HP and 180 Defense, Lin Yuan felt completely confident.
"Alright then, show time!"
Releasing the throttle, Lin Yuan shot off like an arrow from a bow, vanishing in a flash.
A Li watched silently as the motorcycle disappeared from sight, a thought budding in his mind: he wanted to ride it.
Racing through the minefield, Lin Yuan sped all the way, twisting the throttle until it was practically smoking.
The engine let out a "vroom-vroom" roar, seemingly mocking the Kobolds for being poor wretches. Anyone who heard it wouldn't be able to stand it.
The dozen or so nearby Kobold Miners were instantly attracted. However, a dozen Kobold Miners weren't enough to satisfy Lin Yuan's appetite.
Continuing to drive the motorcycle, Lin Yuan crested a small hill, and his field of vision suddenly opened up.
A Kobold camp appeared before Lin Yuan's eyes, containing over thirty Kobolds.
Looking further ahead, five hundred meters away, there were six identical camps, each spaced five hundred meters apart.
In the center stood a high platform; that was where the final BOSS was located.
The team of Professionals who arrived here had all reached Level 2. The next step would be to lure isolated Kobolds and fight steadily.
Once the surrounding Kobolds were eliminated, the team of Professionals would collectively reach Level 3, and only then would they tackle the final BOSS, Copper Tooth.
Defeating Copper Tooth would mean the Dungeon was cleared.
Of course, this was just the optimal strategy for clearing it, but Lin Yuan didn't accept its advice. He planned to pull them all in one go.
The roar of the motorcycle suddenly erupted, shattering the tranquility. Lin Yuan sped along, his target clear: the location of the BOSS, Copper Tooth.
At this moment, the BOSS was lying on the platform, dozing off. Lin Yuan drove the motorcycle to the front of the platform, performed a drift, and stopped steadily in front of the BOSS.
Startled by the roar, the BOSS, Copper Tooth, opened his eyes. A black lead bullet hit him squarely in the forehead with a splat. -115
"Hey, time to work."
Blowing lightly on the muzzle, Lin Yuan tucked the flintlock back into his waist. He twisted the throttle to the max, turned the handlebars, and zoomed away with a roar. The gravel kicked up by the tires showered Copper Tooth.
... "Damn scum, how dare you provoke the dignity of a foreman!"
Copper Tooth leaped off the platform and charged madly toward Lin Yuan.
As the BOSS moved out, the Kobolds in the surrounding camps poured out in full force.
Lin Yuan had truly poked a hornet's nest this time. Copper Tooth, wielding a steel whip, charged over aggressively with over 150 Kobolds in tow.
Lin Yuan rode ahead of the dust, returning to A Li and Sun Xu. As the motorcycle stopped, Lin Yuan jumped off with a flourish. "Done."
"Brother Lin, how many did you lure this time?"
"Not many, just a hundred or so."
"A hundred or so? Brother Lin, you've lured every Kobold from the surrounding camps over here."
Sun Xu pondered, "Once we clear this wave of Kobolds, we can deal with the BOSS."
"No need to go to such trouble; the BOSS is coming too."
While they were talking, the BOSS, Copper Tooth, had already arrived with his main force.
"Found you. Let's see where you can hide now."
"What are you waiting for? Charge and tear them to shreds!"
A horn appeared in Copper Tooth's hand, and he blew it with all his might.
As the horn sounded, the surrounding Kobolds immediately acted like they'd been injected with adrenaline, howling as they charged toward the three of them.
Sun Xu instinctively cast Possession on A Li, then said belatedly, "You've got to be kidding, Brother Lin. You lured Copper Tooth over too?"
"Don't you know that the more Kobolds there are around Copper Tooth, the higher his HP gets!"
Lin Yuan had left in a hurry earlier and hadn't looked closely at Copper Tooth's information. After Sun Xu's reminder, he immediately focused his attention on Copper Tooth.
【Foreman Copper Tooth】 (Tier 2 Leader)
【Level: LV5】
【HP: 22000 (6000+16000)】
【Attack: 310 (150+160)】
【Defense: 100】
【Skill 1 (Cruel Lash): Swings the whip in hand, striking the current target, dealing 50 damage. Each hit increases damage by 50 (Cooldown: 30 seconds)】
【Skill 2 (Fearful Roar): Copper Tooth shouts "Time to work," randomly stunning a target for 5 seconds (Cooldown: 40 seconds)】
【Skill 3 (Strength in Numbers): Copper Tooth blows the Overtime Horn, doubling the attack and attack speed of Kobolds within 100 meters. For every Kobold affected, Copper Tooth's HP increases by 100 and Attack by 1】
Oh boy, Copper Tooth's skills are quite interesting.
HP increased by 16000, Attack increased by 160, which means there are 160 Kobolds gathered around Copper Tooth. Not bad, not bad, it's all experience points.
Lin Yuan shot Sun Xu a reassuring look and shouted to A Li, "A Li, time to work."
A Li silently dropped his shield, grabbed his one-handed sword, and charged out, exuding the aura of someone who would advance even against thousands.
The location Lin Yuan was in was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only one path down. This was a prime tactical spot Lin Yuan had scouted before luring the monsters.
A Li, alone with his sword, faced the numerous Kobolds: Cleave, basic attack, basic attack, basic attack.
-6400, -6400, -400, -400
As the number of times Cleave was used increased, its proficiency maxed out, and the damage had increased to 160%.
The Kobolds died under A Li's sword before they could even get close.
"You're all trash!" "Get lost!"
Copper Tooth rushed up, wielding his steel whip, and activated Skill 2, Fearful Roar.
A Li seemed to have been petrified, standing dazed on the spot, letting Copper Tooth's attacks land on him.
-110, -110, -110
Copper Tooth's attack speed was very fast, twice per second. In 5 seconds, A Li lost over 1000 HP.
+230, +230
Fortunately, Sun Xu knew his duty and kept casting healing spells.
Once he came to, A Li seemed a bit angry and unleashed a Cleave on Copper Tooth.
-4800, -6400, -6400
Cleave dealt 4800 damage to Copper Tooth, and incidentally took out four Kobolds.
Before this, Lin Yuan had only been 180 XP away from leveling up; killing four Kobolds was just enough for Lin Yuan to reach Level 3.
Moreover, this Cleave successfully triggered the advancement condition: 【Cleave (C-Grade) advanced to Drawing Slash (B-Grade)】
