NOVEL NEXT Chapter 139: Entry
Huang Zhiqiang heard what Shanshan said and was momentarily stunned, then nodded.
"What you said is indeed correct. The guys from Zone 13 had already made a statement that they have done deep research on this dungeon, which is why they dared to use us as a backup."
"If your performance in the dungeon shines, but the result is still unsatisfactory, we won't hold you accountable."
Zhou Yingting nodded with a smile upon hearing this and thought for a moment before asking another question.
"By the way, what was their highest combat power in the dungeon?"
"Combat power? I remember it peaked at over two million at the end."
Over two million?
Upon hearing this, Shanshan and the other two were stunned, their expressions turning odd.
They initially thought that since the other party had done extensive research, they would have significantly enhanced combat power in the dungeon.
Who would have thought that the opponent's strongest combat power only increased to over two million?
If Shanshan remembered correctly, Zhou Yingting's combat power in the dungeon rose to around twenty million?
"By the way, what was your highest combat power in this dungeon?"
Zhou Yingting's words reminded Huang Zhiqiang, who quickly inquired.
Knowing what level Zhou Yingting's combat power reached at that time would give them a sense of assurance.
"Well, it mainly depends on whether the entries can be selected. If the entries can be selected..."
Zhou Yingting thought for a moment and spoke.
In the Abyss Dungeon, combining the Fearless Heart talent entry with Courageous can significantly increase one's combat power by hundreds of thousands when it reaches 40 minutes.
But if one cannot withstand the first forty minutes and the life value is depleted, they will be eliminated immediately.
This entry seems to rely too much on the late game.
It looks like a different talent entry needs to be chosen.
The Fearless Heart entry is too weak early on, entirely relying on a comeback in the late game.
Shanshan and the other person initially wanted to say that Zhou Yingting's combat power surged to twenty million at that time.
But seeing that Zhou Yingting remained silent, they held back.
They suddenly recalled that in the dungeon, Zhou Yingting only saw a surge in combat power after dragging past the forty-minute mark.
The current dungeon is different. Can Zhou Yingting hold out for forty minutes?
What if, in the midst of delaying, he gets eliminated?
The thought made the two women feel instantly anxious.
"Alright, then get ready to enter."
Huang Zhiqiang didn't overthink it; he believed what Zhou Yingting said was true.
This dungeon also involves luck, and if Zhou Yingting finds good entries in the dungeon, the combat power would be self-evident.
After saying this, he was ready to send Zhou Yingting into the dungeon.
Meanwhile, they could sit in the audience and watch this Abyss battle.
As Huang Zhiqiang used the Abyss Battle Scroll Dungeon and designated Zhou Yingting, the group disappeared within the 14th Bureau.
....
A flash of white light.
When the group reappeared, they were seated on a crescent-shaped platform.
Beneath them was a compass-like structure resembling the Roman Colosseum.
Standing on the compass were seven people, one of whom was Zhou Yingting.
Seeing someone finally appear from the 14th Bureau, the people from Zone 13 sighed in relief.
"I thought you from the 14th Bureau didn't dare to come, but finally appeared."
A White man from Zone 13 spoke in somewhat broken words.
Huang Zhiqiang frowned slightly at his words; the guy named William on the other side had a previously arrogant attitude.
He seemed completely confident in defeating them.
Thinking of this, Huang Zhiqiang held back his anger, saying, "Don't be too arrogant, I don't believe you can always draw good entries to increase combat power."
"There's an element of luck in this dungeon!"
Each upgrade in this dungeon comes with some reward draws.
In terms of luck, it indeed plays a role.
William on the other side openly admitted after hearing this, "Indeed, luck plays a significant role in this dungeon, which is why we have seven people on our side against your one."
"Speaking of luck, we obviously have the upper hand!"
At this point, William laughed loudly.
Aside from luck, they had a deep understanding of this dungeon. Everyone knew certain specific entries that could be extraordinarily potent.
Thus, everyone was aware of over ten ways to boost their combat power.
In such a scenario, could they still lose to Huaxia?
Huang Zhiqiang listened to these words, his face turning grim.
The other side really had calculated well.
Even in terms of luck, they need to take more of it into account.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look down at the battle compass.
Now, he can only pin his hopes on Zhou Yingting.
No matter what, as long as it's not the eighth losing, they all can accept it.
"Strange, there were seven people from Zone 13 before, and now there are only six. Where's the other one? Still preparing?"
Zhang Yi's gaze swept over the few people below. Seeing they were still short one person at this point, he felt a bit puzzled.
Upon hearing this, Huang Zhiqiang glanced over too, and after realizing one was indeed missing, he felt somewhat perplexed, "What are these guys up to?"
Just as he was mumbling to himself, a white light suddenly flared not far away, and then a short-statured person again appeared on the field.
Upon hearing the sound from the platform where the spectators were watching, he suddenly understood that the last person was actually someone from the land of Foot Basin Chicken.
"Did the opposition bring a Foot Basin Chicken player as a safety measure?"
Seeing this scene, Huang Zhiqiang couldn't help but mutter.
"The players are in place, the Abyss Battle Scroll Dungeon begins now!"
With the players in place, a loud voice rang out, as the colors in the compass changed dramatically.
In just an instant, the entire colosseum seemed to become extremely tiny, as if it was situated in an endless abyss.
And above the abyss, a gigantic creature was lowering its head, gazing at the participants.
No one knew the power of this colossal beast, but just one glance made the hearts of all present shiver.
As this vaguely indescribable beast swept its eyes over the participants, its gaze paused as it landed on Zhou Yingting, showing a trace of surprise.
When the beast's gaze shifted to the other seven contestants, a hint of schadenfreude appeared in its eyes.
However, this expression went unnoticed by the others as they were all looking down.
"Players, please choose the dungeon difficulty."
"I choose intermediate difficulty!"
The dungeon difficulties are divided into simple, basic, intermediate, advanced, and hell.
The highest difficulty they had chosen before was basic.
The Abyss Lord that appears at the basic difficulty is truly hard to kill.
So in the absence of other forces within the dungeon, they did not dare to choose above basic difficulty.
Otherwise, the Abyss Lord might smash through them.
But now, with Huaxia filling the bottom, and Foot Basin Chicken as backup, they need not worry too much.
"Intermediate difficulty, confirmed."
A thunderous voice came from above. After confirming the task difficulty, the gigantic beast quietly left.
But faintly above, an Abyss Lord was silently towering in the sky.
This is the intermediate Abyss Lord; whoever the eighth is eliminated, it will pay a visit to their home.
Everyone felt this scene and couldn't help but look up, their hearts turning cold.
No one knew the power of this intermediate Abyss Lord, but they could sense its immense might!
This thing merely stood above, doing nothing, yet it exerted massive pressure on them.
Even those from Zone 13, having deep research in this dungeon, feeling strongly confident in themselves, couldn't help but feel chilled upon seeing this Abyss Lord.
Everyone's hands couldn't help but clench, hearts beating faster, palms beginning to sweat.
"Feels like we're in over our heads, the pressure from this Abyss Lord is simply overwhelming."
William sat not far away, even from the stands, he couldn't help but feel a bit anxious.
If he was like this, the participants below must be feeling even more tense.
Their current feeling was akin to if they failed, they would face an overwhelming catastrophe.
Then, drumbeats began echoing in their ears.
These drumbeats seemed to strike their hearts each time, making their hearts beat in rhythm.
"It's starting!"
With the drumbeats resonating, a small hero appeared before each of the eight contestants, accompanied by a group of Level 1 monsters.
Killing these monsters allows them to level up and have the chance to drop equipment and talent entries as rewards.
The higher the monster's level, the higher the quality of the drops and the more experience they provide.
At first, everyone could only fight Level 1 monsters.
Their initial combat power was merely 10 points.
Zhou Yingting looked at the situation, feeling as though it was no different from the previous dungeon.
Except for a countdown on the side, indicating a random duel with other players when finished.
This rule is somewhat similar to Golden Shovel.
"Everyone, stay calm, take your time. We each know there are over ten routes to quickly boost our combat power."
"Just follow the ten-plus routes we've previously explored, pick any one, and you can easily enter the top six."
"Understand?"
The player with number 1 overhead looked at the other tense participants from Zone 13, suddenly speaking loudly in reassurance.
