  Chapter 349 A Preliminary Exploration of the Dungeon

  Outside the entrance of the dungeon, as a large number of players were kicked out on the verge of death, those who were ready to enter suddenly became timid. The difficulty of this dungeon was beyond the expectations of too many people.

  However, some people persisted after all.

   At least hundreds of thousands of people entered the first batch. Even if nine out of ten were kicked out, there are still tens of thousands of people left. These people are obviously the real elites!

  So most players chose to wait and see, wait until the first batch of elite players come out, listen to what they have to say before making a decision.

   And everyone didn't wait too long. After more than ten minutes, the first batch of expedition teams were finally kicked out because of timeout, and the forum became active again in an instant.

   Players above level 10 kept showing their experiences, and what they brought back basically became positive news.

  First and foremost: as long as you can survive in the dungeon, the income will never be low!

  Don’t mention experience income, just talk about material income. Immediately after the first dungeon ended, someone posted a photo of the equipment that was synthesized in the blacksmith shop on the forum: a black iron-level sky breastplate.

  Sky Breastplate: A breastplate with a blue-white appearance as a whole. The synthetic formula is: one green magic crystal, three blue magic crystals, and 15 slug skins. The attribute is to increase physical defense by 5 points.

  For black iron-level equipment, this attribute can only be considered barely qualified, but this is a set part after all, and the more parts are collected, the value will continue to increase.

  A complete set of black iron suits is not inferior in attributes to a set of ordinary equipment with the same amount.

   More importantly, this player only used one copy of such a piece of equipment to get it!

  According to this efficiency, it only takes a few days to collect a complete set of suits. For most players who have been in the open beta for so long, but still can't even get the six binding positions, this is really a huge temptation!

   Some of these elite players who have played the dungeon have regrouped and re-entered the dungeon, and some have begun to try to write some strategies. However, due to incomplete information, most of the strategy content is relatively fragmented, and there are obvious mistakes and omissions.

   Until half an hour later, the first more formal strategy post was finally born.

  "Dawn City Raiders Group: First Floor of the Dungeon, Preliminary Exploration Report. "

  The person who posted this post is the well-known strategy master 'Blue-Eyes White Dragon'. Of course, the content is much more reliable than the strategies of ordinary players.

  The people who couldn't wait already hurriedly clicked to check.

   "Note, the effective area of ​​this strategy is limited to the west of the first floor, and even the route I explored. See the picture."

   Followed by a picture, the picture is a zigzag hand-drawn route map, only marking the monsters and items encountered on the route.

  From the direction of the route, it can be clearly seen that the dungeon is indeed a maze, and many directions to go around are dead ends. You can only go back and find the way, so you can get out of this effect of nine twists and eighteen turns.

   "In general, there are three points that need to be paid attention to when entering the dungeon."

"First, the monsters on the first floor are mainly composed of slimes, disease slugs, different shapes of mushroom people, spore fungi, etc. Among them, except for the mushroom people, the other three are poisonous, so before entering, you must Prepare poison resistance equipment and detoxification methods."

"In this regard, you can use the 'poison gland' found in the dungeon to exchange for antidote and poison resistance powder in the pharmacy. The antidote can instantly remove the existing toxins on the body, and the poison resistance powder can greatly increase the resistance to poison damage within an hour. , and at the same time make players below level 10 immune to poisonous gas."

"Second, different monsters need to be dealt with in different ways. For example, slimes must be killed with long-range attacks. Otherwise, the toxin traps erupted by slimes when they die are enough to kill them in a few seconds. Take away more than 5,000 life points of melee personnel. On the contrary, Mushroommen must be killed with physical attacks, because these creatures often appear in groups, have no vision and hearing, and are only sensitive to magic power. If it uses a magic attack, it will instantly attract a large group of mushroom men to besiege."

"The last is the spore fungus. This thing itself has no attack power. Its characteristic is that it will explode when it encounters people, and after death, it will produce a tracking-type toxin missile. Unless it can run faster than the missile, it will almost certainly have to bear 500 points once. of poison."

"There is no good way to deal with this kind of thing. When you encounter it, you can basically resist it. But the advantage is that this thing will drop a poisonous gland after death, and you can pick it up without consuming physical strength. This is also the poisonous gland in the dungeon. main source."

"Third, the team composition must be reasonable. Both melee and long-range, fighters and mages must be available to deal with various situations. In addition, healers must be brought! Even if there is no dedicated healer, there must be multiple healers in the team. Magic to continue, otherwise, unless your team has an average strength of more than fifteen levels, you will inevitably be kicked out when you are dying, it's just a matter of how long you persist..."

  The content of the post is not too much, but all of them are dry goods.

  Many people suddenly realized after watching it. No wonder they died so quickly before. This dungeon pays so much attention. Not only do you need to prepare detoxification props, but you also need to have a well-organized team.

Among the proportion of players, the master Jia Limin has the most melee personnel, followed by long-range personnel with bows and guns, and then mages, and among the mages, there are very few personnel who can heal spells. The overall ratio is not even one-tenth.

  As soon as this post was published, the treatment staff immediately became popular.

   "Look for a professional treatment team, and those who pass will be given a purple outfit..."

   "Healer players who are paid to stay with the team for a long time, the treatment is good..."

   "The Sirius Guild is looking for a healer at a high price. The number is not limited, the more the better..."

  …

  In an instant, there were a lot of posts about recruiting healers on the team formation page of the forum.

  The value of the healers has skyrocketed. In many posts, people are fighting for a healer, and there are even various biddings, just like an auction site.

  As a well-known anchor, many people know that Lin Hai has a nun’s skin, which heals amazingly. He also knows various common auxiliary magics. He is also of high level. It can be said that he is one of the auxiliary personnel that best meets the requirements of the dungeon dungeon.

Within a few minutes of posting this post, Lin Hai's backstage received thousands of team invitations, including invitations from various well-known forces and experts. In addition, colleagues from the Business Alliance also sent private messages to him. team up.

  However, for these invitations, Lin Hai chose to decline all of them, even those colleagues in the business alliance who get along day and night, and his reasons are very good: "The city lord invited me!"

   Just six words, everyone has nothing to say: If it is other characters, some of the masters may have to try to compete, but Captain Ghost, who dares to say that his team can be stronger than this boss? What's more, this wave of fawning on the relationship with the city lord will make it easy to get a long-term stable position in the future. This kind of condition is something they can't provide anyway, so everyone has to give up.

   At this time, Mu You had already gathered his troops and arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.

  In addition to Lin Hai, he also specially invited another member of the business alliance: Xia Chong Yu Bing.

   He entered the dungeon, killing monsters is only one aspect, the most important thing is to advance the progress of the dungeon as soon as possible, so he needs to find the exit to the second floor as soon as possible.

   And the first thing that Mu You thought of was Xia Chong Yubing's 'honest coin'.

This coin allows her to walk on the 'most correct path' every step of the way. For a maze like a dungeon, the most correct place is either a place where high-value treasures are hidden, or there is only an exit. Leaning towards the latter.

Xia Chongyu Bing was surprised when he suddenly received an invitation from the city lord. After listening to Mu You's explanation, he was relieved. In addition, the other party promised to give her a long-term high-ranking position as a reward. No matter how hesitant, he agreed to the job.

  【You formed a team with the girl with red sickle, Qingya Shuxiang, Lin Haihai, and Xia Chongyubing, and entered the first floor of the dungeon together. 】

  【You have lit the soul lamp on the first floor of the dungeon. When entering the dungeon, you can choose to appear on any floor where the soul lamp has been lit. 】

  'Qing Ya Shu Xiang' in the team is the name of Xiao Ya's substitute card activated just now.

  As soon as he entered the dungeon, Mu You first tried to release the dark teleportation.

  The result pops up a prompt: [The dungeon is a special environment, and all space magic cannot be released. 】

   Sure enough, the teleportation array cannot be arranged...

   Mu You was not too surprised, but all space magic is blocked here, which means that even spells such as teleportation and transposition cannot be used.

  【You team appears in front of a spar mine. On your left is a cluster of green crystal mines. Do you want to mine it? 】

"yes."

  When he first came in, he encountered a cluster of gemstones, and Mu You tried to mine them first.

  【Before you come to the crystal mine, the team's action power -1, mining is in progress, and it is expected to end in five minutes...】

  【You got Green Magic Crystal*2. 】

  【Green Magic Crystal: One of the most common low-level gemstones on the first floor of the dungeon. It has abundant magic power and good hardness. It can be used to make a variety of black iron-level sky suit components. 】

  【You see the spar clusters that you dug up, they automatically retracted into the rock and disappeared, and they will not resurface until they grow to a sufficient size. 】

  It seems that the ores in this dungeon are specially set up with a resource protection mechanism, and the gems on the surface will automatically retract after mining, so as to prevent greedy people from mining the roots, resulting in a dry lake for fishing.

   Having said that, it takes five minutes to complete a collection, which is inefficient, and a copy only takes an hour in total.

  So the next text asked whether to continue to collect the spar mine next to it, and Mu You decisively chose whether to.

   It’s enough to mine once to understand the mechanism. They are here to try to speed pass, and they can’t waste too much time on mining.

  【Xia Chong Yu Bing: Next, take the middle road. 】

   Several people continued to move forward, and when they encountered the next fork, Xia Chongyubing gave a timely reminder.

  As the captain, Mu You was responsible for controlling the team's direction of action. At this time, he chose the middle road and recorded the route on the paper at hand.

  【You choose to continue going straight. 】

  【You saw three dark green jelly-like creatures blocking the front. When they found you, they immediately squirmed and came towards you. 】

  【Acid slime (level 11), attack power 15-17, defense power 35, HP: 4000 points, ability: acid spray, activate poison trap when dead. 】

  【You released the fire spear technique towards the slime, and the continuous fire spears were shot from your hand, igniting all the slimes. 】

  【Under the high amount of burning damage, the health of the three slimes dropped rapidly until they died. 】

  【You kill slime*3, life span +3, experience value+10, get 'Slime Gel'*3, 'Poison Gland'*3. 】

  【The slime explosion produced circles of spreading toxin ripples, but it didn't affect you and your teammates. 】

  …

  The team progressed smoothly all the way, and they basically killed monsters in seconds.

After all, a few people came in after reading the guide, and they had expected various situations, and even if they encountered monsters that were not mentioned in the guide, Muyou still had the Omniscient Crystal. .

   But even so, there are still some troubles that cannot be avoided.

   "Go to the left."

  At the next intersection, Xia Chong Yubing gave a reminder as usual.

  The group had no objection and moved on.

   But after walking for a while, Mu You quickly realized something was wrong, and hurriedly backtracked according to the table.

   "Everyone stop, back!"

   Mu You typed this sentence as quickly as possible, but it was still a step too late.

  【You see a large number of floating spore fungi wriggling in mid-air at the intersection ahead. 】

  【The excessive number of spores here makes you realize that you may have broken into the nest of spore fungus. 】

  【A large number of spores are floating towards you, you and your team members hurriedly retreat. 】

  【Hundreds of spores exploded in the air one after another, turning into dark green toxin missiles, attacking you at high speed. 】

  【You escaped the pursuit of the missile by chance, but the red sickle girl who fell at the end was drowned in the green poisonous mist explosion...】

  【The red sickle girl entered a near-death state and was automatically teleported back to the surface. 】

  Spore fungus, this thing is a bit like a dungeon version of a self-explosive fish. It will rush to explode when it touches people, and it will cause toxin damage, which is difficult to avoid.

  The other people in this wave barely withdrew, but because Lin Xue was still in a weak state and her speed was too slow, she was left behind. In the end, she blocked the knife for them, and was directly drowned by a large amount of poisonous gas and returned to the city.

   "Ah, sorry..."

  Xia Chongyu Bing suddenly panicked, she was the one who led the way, and unexpectedly brought the team into the monster's lair at the very beginning, directly reducing the team's number of members.

  【Red Scythe Girl: It’s okay, it’s okay, just keep going. 】

  Lin Xue comforted Xia Chongyu Bing in the game, and then sent a private message to Mu You.

   "Go ahead, I won't follow. My life is too low now, and I can hardly respond to unexpected situations. Following is also a hindrance for you."

Mu You naturally understood what Lin Xue meant. Her current attributes were all in single digits, resulting in her life being maintained at an extremely low level. It was indeed not suitable for the book, so she did not force her at this time. Let her take a good rest and lead the team keep going.

  【You picked up 'poison glands'*113 around. 】

  【You continue to move forward with the team, and soon discover that on the mountain wall in front of you, there are two plant pipes that resemble giant morning glory, protected by a layer of light film. 】

  【This is the 'fungus spout', the mother nest of spore fungi, which will automatically produce a spore fungus every minute on average. After being ejected, the spores will pass through the light membrane and float like dandelions to every corner of the first floor of the dungeon. 】

  【Because the fungal vent is protected in a special barrier, ordinary people cannot pass through it. But you, as the city lord, have the right to revoke and build any barrier in the dungeon at any time. Does opening the barrier permanently kill off that fungal spout? 】

"no."

   Muyou clicked on the fork directly.

   Spores are annoying, but the poison glands that drop are one of the necessary supplies in the dungeon. He doesn't need them himself, but other players will definitely need them. Of course, they can't be destroyed casually.

   But having said that, since he can build a barrier at any time, he can find a suitable place in the dungeon to place the queen ant eggs he obtained earlier.

   Waiting for the queen to mature in this way can not only provide the player with an additional option to spawn monsters, but also he can regularly harvest a wave of queen's flesh as a source of meat for the shadow wolf.
