[LV1-Old Tree Bark (D)] 53/100
Passive Effect: Immunity to all curses
Attribute Requirements: 1~10 Dark + 1~10 Wood
Type Requirements: Berserk
Race Requirements: Demon Treant
Li Pu has a premonition that he might become immune to curses before even experiencing their effects.
This feeling is truly wonderful.
Don’t underestimate this as just a D-level skill, its effects are actually top-notch.
Although its rank is low, the main reason it is effective is due to its rather harsh acquisition conditions.
Looking at these conditions, they basically indicate that only these demon treants can acquire it.
Fortunately, he can ignore the acquisition conditions.
The core of these treants doesn’t seem like something precious, so the seniors weren’t very keen to collect them.
Li Pu easily picked up a second one and used it on the scarecrow.
This team has 30 people, with a few fourth-year Summoners among them, and with about a hundred summoned beasts present, his five summons don’t stand out.
"Junior, it looks like we were overthinking earlier."
"These demon treants aren’t formidable at all."
"I’ve taken down several myself and haven’t encountered any curses."
At this moment, Quan became confident and approached.
His personal combat strength is very strong; he just took down several demon treants.
"Uhh..."
However, Li Pu suddenly noticed a large "Misfortune" character written on Quan’s forehead.
"Senior, do you feel any discomfort?"
He asked tentatively.
"No, no discomfort at all."
"Feeling fit as a fiddle!"
Quan thumped his chest but then tripped over a piece of tree trunk: "Huh?"
Li Pu glanced around and discovered many seniors had words appearing mysteriously on their skin.
And each person’s mark wasn’t painful, with words like "Fatigue", "Nasal Congestion", "Soreness", "Fever", "Vomiting", "Diarrhea", "Cough", "Optimistic", etc.
The most noticeable was a senior with the word "Poor" marked, and she continued to drop crystal coins from her body as she walked, like a sheep leaving a trail.
Another senior had the word "Impotent" on his forehead, which raised suspicions about what exactly was impotent.
The summoned beasts present weren’t spared either.
It seemed like when these demon treants were defeated, they emitted a curse field that affected nearby targets.
Fortunately, Xu Zihui was prepared and had members to address curses in the team.
So everyone quickly recovered.
Then under Xu Zihui’s command, they formed their formation.
The strategy for team dungeons is easier compared to smaller dungeons.
The main task is to locate the BOSS and defeat it, then shatter the dungeon core.
Every time a dungeon disappears, the school replenishes it, but the new dungeons still belong to the Little Demon Forest Realm, albeit with different BOSSes.
Once the formation was set, Li Pu noticed the group showed no sign of moving forward.
"Senior, what are we..."
Since he hadn’t had the chance or means to learn about this dungeon, he had to inquire with Quan on the spot.
"Oh, just have a look at the terrain we are on now."
After hearing his query, Quan smiled and began to introduce.
Li Pu took a look around, realizing they were at the base of a cliff.
The cliff was tall and nearly vertical, just about 10 meters from the dungeon’s light gate.
Setting up the line here was considered a safe position.
"This Little Demon Forest Realm has a feature that differs from regular dungeons."
"That is, by completing certain procedures, the monsters will come to you, eliminating the need to search for them."
As Quan finished speaking, Li Pu saw Xu Zihui take out a firework tool resembling a large skyrocket.
Whoosh... Boom!
As it ignited, a grand firework exploded above the line.
The light from the firework illuminated the entire sky, temporarily dispersing the gloom.
"Everyone, be prepared! Monsters are expected to arrive within five minutes!"
Xu Zihui withdrew his gaze from the sky and loudly reminded everyone.
Hearing this, the group became excited.
Even Li Pu shared the same enthusiasm.
After all, it was his first time fighting alongside so many Summoners.
[Demon Treants!] xN
Soon, massive sounds were heard from afar.
Approximately a thousand meters away, a vast number of demon treants surged forth like a tide.
Everyone stared in disbelief.
"Holy crap, there are way too many of them!!"
"Can’t even count them; there are thousands!"
"I’ve never seen so many monsters at once!"
"This... this isn’t something we can handle, is it?"
"Did they encounter the same during previous Little Demon Forest Realm raids?"
"Something feels odd..."
"Xu Zihui, should we retreat?!"
The battle hadn’t started, but retreating thoughts already formed.
Given the numbers, it was unprecedented for them.
Only Li Pu managed to stay relatively composed; the gun beast army he encountered before wasn’t smaller than this.
(What should we do...)
(Should we really retreat?)
Listening to his classmates’ shouts, Xu Zihui fell into hesitation.
Unbelievably, just entering the dungeon’s first phase posed such a huge challenge.
