Chapter 710: Chapter 500: Large-Scale Team Dungeon (Part 2)
"Don’t rush, observe a little more."
Her eyes were somewhat bright.
The testing ground valley is regularly maintained by teachers, and under their enhancement, the rocks here are much harder than ordinary rocks.
Being able to blow up 1/3 of the area in one go is really impressive.
Such a powerful AOE ability is exactly what she needed for this team quest!
Sure enough, just a few seconds later, they saw a robot head with a halo floating out.
"Huh?"
Quan Shuren’s attention was drawn to the halo, and he remembered it wasn’t there before.
Swoosh!
Immediately, their vision was engulfed by a sudden explosion of light.
"Wow!"
"Oh my, it’s so dazzling!"
The intense light made the two of them cover their eyes, but it was too late; they had temporarily lost their sight.
Boom!
Then a powerful force acted on the two of them, making them fly backward rapidly.
But soon, Quan Shuren and Xu Zihui felt a gentle hand stop them from behind.
And two warm sensations descended, allowing them to regain their vision immediately.
"Ah, this..." x2
What came into view was the valley being flattened by another 1/3.
The power was simply terrifying.
"Senior, why are you here?"
It was Li Pu who had stopped them.
"Well, I wanted to come over and practice some moves, but, junior, you..."
Quan Shuren’s expression was hesitant to speak.
"Me too, just here for practice."
Li Pu nodded.
"Junior, this technique is impressive!"
"Are you free in the next few days?"
Xu Zihui eagerly welcomed him.
"..."
Quan Shuren felt a bit speechless watching this scene.
Didn’t you just say there were no positions left in the team?
And now, changing faces so quickly!
However, Xu Zihui ignored his cousin’s dissatisfaction and started introducing Li Pu.
Team quests are different from those large-scale tiny dungeons.
They’re a bit like the little Five Elements Realm he entered during the Southwest Star Cup.
The monsters inside are not only numerous and varied but also quite formidable.
But the most attractive part is that there’s inevitably a BOSS inside such team quests.
BOSS means good loot.
This time, they were going to raid the team quest [Dark Forest].
A large instance with a cap of 30 members, with monsters mainly of dark and wood attributes.
Li Pu thought both these attributes were okay.
Wood attributes are weak to metal and fire, dark attributes to fire and lightning, and both Scarecrow and Ugly Wolf could provide these.
Besides, he had covered [Gaga Great White Shark Desert] and [City of Eternal Fire], indeed qualifying him for a year three instance.
"Senior, I’m willing to participate."
After hearing the introduction, Li Pu expressed his willingness to join.
The large-scale instance sounded interesting.
"That’s really great!"
Filling in the final piece of the puzzle made Xu Zihui ecstatic.
So she made several calls, confirming the time with everyone to enter the instance three days later.
There weren’t many people raiding the year three team instances, so queueing wasn’t much of an issue.
After bidding farewell to the seniors, Li Pu headed to the trading post.
From his earlier operations, he discovered a significant downside to enabling [Power of Light] for No. 2.
As a berserk type, maintaining this state required continuous consumption of Blood Qi.
To replenish the consumed Blood Qi, he had to occasionally use [Holy Healing Art] on himself.
This led to No. 2 constantly bursting out light, causing him considerable trouble.
Unfortunately, he didn’t find any suitable skills at the trading post. Ultimately, Li Pu could only buy sunglasses for everyone as a temporary solution.
The three days passed quickly.
During this period, Li Pu also visited the Cube Card Metaverse to take care of some matters.
On the morning of the third day, he arrived at the instance hall as agreed.
"Junior, over here!"
As soon as he appeared, he heard Xu Zihui’s call.
Li Pu arrived relatively early, and now the whole team had only a dozen or so people.
Xu Zihui enthusiastically introduced them to each other.
Upon hearing that Li Pu was from the first grade, most people showed a strange expression.
"This instance... can a first-grader come?"
"Xu Zihui, this guy, putting in some connected person?"
"What’s the deal now, does this mean we have to carry a first-grader through the instance?"
"Tch, if he holds us back later, I’ll definitely give him a hard time."
People whispered among themselves but didn’t openly say it due to courtesy.
Quan Shuren overheard these words and just snickered quietly.
Evidently, the year three seniors didn’t recognize someone like Li Pu.
However, he believed that once they got into the instance, these concepts would change completely.
In no time, the entire team’s members had arrived.
Those with good temper welcomed Li Pu’s arrival and advised him to be careful.
Those with bad temper gave him the cold shoulder.
"Everyone, I believe you have researched strategies before."
"But to prevent anyone from being unfamiliar, let me introduce this instance first."
"The monsters in this instance are mainly dark-attribute woodmen."
"They are relatively tough and exist in large numbers."
"Additionally, they can launch curse attacks, so be extra cautious when fighting."
After gathering everyone, Xu Zihui started the introduction.
This point about curses caught Li Pu’s attention.
The [Willpower] of the Scarecrow couldn’t resist curses.
"Now we are starting the instance, those with weaker bodies should be careful and enter in three minutes."
With Xu Zihui’s wave of her arm, everyone began to walk through the light gate of the instance.
Li Pu saw Quan Shuren go in, so he followed closely.
What met their eyes was a dark purple hue.
Dark purple earth, dark purple trees.
The air had a definite chill, making it easy to get goosebumps.
At this moment, they were in a sparse forest.
Each tree had facial features, lifelike, as if about to come alive the next moment.
"This is a camouflage technique of the woodmen, they make all trees look like this to blend in."
Quan Shuren introduced as he commanded his brawny tree.
[Brawny!]
As soon as Brawny Tree struck a muscle-building pose, the surrounding trees began to rustle.
Soon, a bunch of little tree minions were summoned.
Wherever there’s a forest, Brawny Tree could easily convert them into its summoned tree warriors.
This is why Xu Zihui brought along Quan Shuren.
His skill could significantly reduce combat losses; after all, summoned tree warriors are expendable.
[Brawny! Brawny!] xN
The little tree minions gathered around Brawny Tree, a large swarm, dozens in number.
Their appearance indirectly exposed the presence of monsters.
Because real monsters can’t be summoned by Brawny Tree, so the ones still standing around were the woodmen.
"What are you staring at, attack!"
Xu Zihui reacted the fastest, directly ordering her summoned beasts to attack.
"Oh oh!"
"Oh my, so many woodmen at the entrance of the instance!"
"Be careful of curse attacks! Summoners, don’t engage them head-on!"
Then everyone joined the battle.
[Woodman!]
Right beside Li Pu was a tree disguised as a woodman.
Seeing its disguise blown, it pounced towards Li Pu.
Li Pu didn’t say a word, launching a [Thunder Slash].
Boom!
"Wow! He’s ruthless!"
"Even though the woodmen are weak to lightning, taking yourself down too is over the top..."
"Junior, are you alright?"
Several surrounding seniors cast concerned glances.
"I’m fine, no worries."
In response, Li Pu just smiled.
Previously, Xu Zihui said they were tough, so he thought they were resilient.
Unexpectedly, one [Thunder Slash] settled it.
Crack!
The charred woodman’s trunk shattered, revealing a core inside.
"Huh?"
Grabbing the core, Li Pu raised an eyebrow.
Nice find!
