Chapter 25: A Monster That’s Strength Gradually Increased
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After the whole series of damage was dealt, the giant frost ape’s HP bar was emptied and it fell to the ground with a loud crash.
After Lu Yuan equipped Noah’s Dagger, his DPS had reached a terrifying level.
Even an elite monster would not be able to withstand Lu Yuan’s attacks if he went all out.
As long as he did not fall into the predicament of being surrounded and attacked, he did not even need to use Stealth to become invisible, he could just directly kill the monster head-on with ease.
After killing this giant frost ape, Lu Yuan felt that he could finally enjoy himself to the full.
Phew!
“It’s been a long time since I felt so good. As expected, to have such an experience, I really need good equipment.”
Lu Yuan could not help but sigh.
In his previous life, there were many moments when Lu Yuan’s equipment was not that good.
As a result, he usually was unable to enjoy himself when fighting.
Now, Lu Yuan’s progress was ahead of many players, leaving many players behind, a benefit he had gained from his ability to complete the hidden missions he knew.
This was his advantage.
Lu Yuan collected the items dropped by the giant frost ape. Among them was a portion of its blood essence. Unfortunately, it did not drop any equipment.
There were also some materials such as fur that were temporarily useless to him. He did not think much about it and stuffed them all into his backpack.
Lu Yuan continued forward to explore.
Unexpectedly, he encountered another giant frost ape not long after he moved forward.
“This is unexpected. The monsters here are so dense?”
Although he had heard about the dangers of this map in his previous life, he did not expect it to be due to the density of the monsters.
Fortunately, the level of this giant frost ape was the same as the previous one.
Lu Yuan continued to use the same attack pattern as before and quickly killed it.
Lu Yuan’s attacks were very fast and fierce. With the attribute bonuses from his equipment, even without the thieves’ specialized skills, his attack speed did not decrease.
The giant frost ape quickly fell under the attacks of Lu Yuan’s dagger.
After collecting the items dropped by the giant frost ape, Lu Yuan continued forward.
“So stingy. Not even a piece of equipment was dropped, but the EXP given is quite generous.”
Lu Yuan looked at his EXP bar, and it had clearly increased by a little.
It was currently at 3% of Level 10.
According to Lu Yuan’s estimation, killing a giant frost ape would give him between 0.5% to 1% of EXP.
Therefore, he should be able to level up again from tonight’s quest.
Thinking of this, Lu Yuan was instantly filled with motivation.
Soon, he continued to move forward. However, after only taking a few steps forward, he encountered another giant frost ape.
The difference was that this giant frost ape’s level was one level higher than the previous ones, and its HP was also a little higher.
Lu Yuan could not help but frown when he noticed such a thing.
He did not expect that the deeper into the cave he went, the stronger the monsters’ levels would become.
This was a really dangerous trip.
However, it was still within the range of Lu Yuan’s capabilities.
He held the dagger in his hand and continued to attack in slashes.
[-34!]
[-40!]
[-38!]
[-42!]
[-39!]
...
After a series of attacks, he quickly defeated this giant frost ape and obtained another portion of blood essence.
Lu Yuan continued to advance deeper.
As he went deeper and deeper, Lu Yuan gradually discovered that the giant frost apes’ levels were gradually increasing, and their strength also gradually became much stronger.
When Lu Yuan entered a deeper floor, he even discovered that the giant frost ape’s level had already reached that of a level 20 elite monster.
It was a little difficult to fight against such a monster since there was a gap of a full 10 levels with hierarchical suppression.
Even with the hidden attributes bonuses, Lu Yuan’s DPS was reduced by 40-50%, and his hits seemed like mere painless scratches.
The time he needed to defeat each giant frost ape had more than doubled.
Moreover, Lu Yuan had to keep positioning himself to avoid the giant frost ape’s skills.
This was no joke. The giant frost ape was at level 20. If he was hit even once, he might die.
Lu Yuan had no choice but to be careful. After scratching at it for a long time, he finally killed the giant frost ape.
The EXP he received was a full 2%!
After all, he would be rewarded by a large amount of EXP for cross-level killings.
Phew!
Lu Yuan could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
Such a high-level monster was already the limits of Lu Yuan’s abilities.
If their levels were any higher, he would not be able to even deal any damage to them anymore. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺
Lu Yuan looked at the dagger in his hand. This was a really divine weapon. If it was the original wild wolf dagger he had used, it would probably not have been to deal any damage a few monsters back.
Since his arrival, Lu Yuan had already gradually noticed the eerieness of this map.
The deeper one went, the higher the levels of the monsters would be. Moreover, the monsters were spawned so densely.
It did not seem like it was designed as a training spot.
Lu Yuan speculated that there were some secrets in there.
In his previous life, Lu Yuan only knew of such a map, but he didn’t know the details.
He had only heard that it was very dangerous here. After completing the quest to obtain the blood essence, many players would then stop there and didn’t continue to investigate further.
Lu Yuan was naturally not interested back then, so he didn’t probe further.
Therefore, he did not know much about it in his previous life.
“Since I’ve encountered this, might as well go deeper.”
Lu Yuan had the legendary thief skill Shadow Following, so he had enough confidence.
With a sway of his body, Lu Yuan disappeared into the void and hid his figure.
Then, he continued to explore deeper.
Not far ahead, he saw another giant frost ape.
This giant frost ape’s level was already at level 22!
It had been strengthened again!
This time, Lu Yuan did not act rashly, because the hierarchical suppression was too heavy.
According to the current hierarchical suppression, Lu Yuan’s DPS would be reduced by more than 60%, making his damage seem even more feeble than a cat’s scratch.
Therefore, Lu Yuan did not try attacking for the time being but chose to continue forward.
After being strengthened by +3 levels, the duration of Shadow Following had been increased to 3 minutes.
Therefore, in terms of time, he had sufficient to explore.
Lu Yuan continued moving forward.
Unknowingly, he had already arrived at a deeper area.
Lu Yuan was shocked to discover that ahead of him, there was an entrance leading to the next floor.
However, at the entrance, two level-30 elite monsters were guarding it!
Under normal circumstances, players at this stage of the game would not be able to pass through them, because the monsters were too ferocious! 𝐟𝙧ℯ𝑒𝒘𝐞𝒃𝗻𝒐ѵ𝘦𝑙.com
The hierarchical suppression had already reduced Lu Yuan’s DPS to 20%.
The damage he could deal was no longer a scratch, but a tickle.
Lu Yuan looked at the remaining time of his Stealth: 112 seconds!
There were still about 2 minutes left.
Lu Yuan calculated the time he would need to get out later.
There was still plenty of time! He could totally go down and take a look!
He would just take a look! After he finished looking, he would leave. He would definitely not hesitate in leaving!
With this thought, Lu Yuan did not hesitate to pass through the two guards, directly passing through the entrance and entering the next floor.
