NOVEL NEXT Chapter 57, Hell-Level Instance_1
Jiang Chen took a step forward, entering the Hell-level difficulty.
"Does anyone know who that young man was just now? Such terrifying Offensive Power!"
"I don't know, but he killed people from the Black Tiger Guild. I'm afraid the Black Tiger Guild won't let him off easily."
"I heard that the boss of the Black Tiger Guild is a First-stage powerhouse."
"That guy's speed was so fast! He killed them in the blink of an eye. I wonder if he will appear in the upcoming Alliance battle."
"Did you guys notice just now? The instance that person entered was of Hell-level difficulty."
"What? Really a Hell-level Instance?"
"But he's alone, daring to enter without even a Priest. Isn't that seeking death?"
Someone entering a Hell-level Instance alone? This has never happened before.
TAP. TAP. TAP.
Black Phoenix and Ruo Li entered the altar. Looking at the dismembered bodies and rivers of blood, they furrowed their brows. "What happened here?"
"Just now, a young man killed people from the Black Tiger Guild."
Killed people from the Black Tiger Gang?
The two exchanged glances. Could it be him...?
Ruo Li asked, "What did that young man look like?"
"He was in a black robe. The Black Tiger Guild will definitely cause trouble for him."
"Where is he?"
"He went into the altar—into a Hell-level Instance."
The two were shocked once more.
A Hell-level Instance? This guy must be crazy! A Hell-level Instance is the highest difficulty. Not only do the monsters inside have double the HP, but their Offensive Power and defensive power are also doubled—incredibly terrifying.
Even Black Phoenix wouldn't dare to enter it.
「...」
Jiang Chen entered the instance.
He had also researched strategies for it. The King's Crown Tomb had three minor bosses and one major boss. All these bosses were Level 40 Silver-grade monsters.
There was no particular strategy for this instance; you just needed to enter and kill the bosses to complete it.
Flames burst from the sides of the gloomy cave, illuminating the path ahead. The dim cavern exuded an eerie atmosphere.
Jiang Chen activated Crosswise Sword Qi Mode, Sky Flashing Mode, and Heavenly Ruler Dragon Mode. With the three modes stacked, he also had his Blood Colored Shield, boasting 5,000,000 HP.
He wasn't afraid of any monster.
Jiang Chen continued forward along the cave.
[Headless Guard (Elite Level)]
[Level: 30]
[HP: 150,000/150,000]
[Physical Attack: 500-1,000]
[Physical Defense Power: 750-1,000]
[Magical defense power: 750-1,000]
A three-meter-tall Headless Guard, riding a warhorse, appeared thirteen meters in front of Jiang Chen. It wore black armor and patrolled the vicinity, holding a huge axe.
Jiang Chen glanced at its HP: 150,000. This is three times the HP of monsters in a simple-level instance, and its Offensive Power and defensive power are also doubled. It's equivalent to a Level 30 boss. Even a Level 40 warrior with Silver-grade equipment couldn't withstand such a monster.
With a thought from Jiang Chen, a strand of Sword Qi shot forward.
-4,000
Forty Sword Qi strikes should be enough... Alright then, taste the Heavenly Ruler Dragon attack!
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Experience +500
The Headless Guard had barely reacted before it was struck by the Sword Qi Attack, its body crumbling into a pile of dry bones. If not for the Hundred Times Amplification, a single strand would have only dealt 40 damage.
Only 40 damage? That would take forever!
Jiang Chen walked forward and looked at the item on the ground.
[Material: Soul of the Headless Guard]
This is one of the materials for the King's Crown Suit. I'll take it.
Jiang Chen continued forward, searching for Headless Knights. Each Sword Qi deals 4,000 damage. If I unleash Three Hundred Sword Auras at once, that's 1,200,000 damage! Who could withstand such a blow from me?
Jiang Chen walked through the cave.
Just then, two Headless Knights appeared ahead of him. With a thought, Jiang Chen sent eighty Sword Auras flying swiftly towards them.
The Headless Knights died instantly.
Another [Soul of the Headless Guard] dropped.
The drop rate is quite high, huh?
Having collected three souls so quickly, Jiang Chen knew that the higher the instance's difficulty, the higher the drop rate. This was especially true for Hell-level difficulty, where there was even a chance for complete pieces of equipment to drop.
If I can get complete equipment pieces to drop, I won't need to go to the academy to exchange for them. Farming them myself is just as good, provided I have the luck.
He continued onward, hunting his prey.
[Headless Guard (Elite Level)]
[Level: 32]
[HP: 170,000/170,000]
[Physical Attack: 500-1,100]
[Physical Defense Power: 750-1,100]
[Magical defense power: 750-1,100]
Two levels higher and an extra 20,000 HP, but that's all. He continued to kill. WHOOSH... Fifty Sword Auras shot out, a swift slaughter...
[Soul of the Headless Guard]
Another material... Got it.
「...」
「Outside the instance.」
Ruo Li asked, "Black Phoenix, let's go in and kill the Hell Level boss."
"Are you trying to get us killed? The Hell Level boss has as much as 500,000 HP, and its Offensive Power is over ten thousand! I can't even withstand a single hit."
"Look at that guy! He entered the Hell-level Instance alone and is soloing it without even a Priest. Don't tell me you're worse than a newbie?"
Black Phoenix was furious. Who knows if that kid is some kind of freak? Challenging a Level 40 Hell-level Instance at only Level 21!
Black Phoenix also wanted to know if Jiang Chen could make it through.
"Let's go for Hard difficulty. The two of us can still solo that. Let's see if we can get lucky and have some complete equipment drop. Only with a Level 30 Diamond suit will we have a chance of winning the Alliance battle."
"HEH HEH... When the time comes, let our junior come and Support you. You'll be guaranteed to take first place."
"Hmph! Do I need his Support?"
"Maybe he won't even want to Support you. You're not that pretty, you know."
Black Phoenix: "..."
The two teamed up and entered the Hard difficulty instance. Just as they went in, a group of people arrived outside, looking at the corpses strewn everywhere.
"Fake! Who dares to kill members of my Black Tiger Guild? That person must die!"
"Vice-Guild Leader, he has already entered the instance."
"Then we wait! We must wait for him to come out and kill him for good! Archers, go set up an ambush outside. One person, stay here and keep watch!"
「...」
Jiang Chen went on a killing spree, facing either Headless Knights or Headless Guards, until he reached an area about the size of a basketball court with four paths leading off it.
The first path on the left leads to the main boss, and the third on the right leads to a minor boss. I can't ignore the minor boss; it also has materials I need.
He headed down the path to his right. As soon as he entered the cave, he felt a scorching heat.
This is just like the instance guide said. The temperature inside rises rapidly. There's a Fire Dragon living deep within.
[Fire Snake (Elite Level)]
[Level: 32]
[HP: 170,000/170,000]
[Physical Attack: 500-1,100]
[Physical Defense Power: 700-1,100]
[Magical defense power: 700-1,100]
More than ten Fire Snakes blocked Jiang Chen's path. With a single thought from him, Three Hundred Sword Auras flew rapidly forward—SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Wherever they passed, the monsters died.
[Fire Snake Gall]
Another material.
[Fire Dragon (Silver-grade Boss)]
[Level: 38]
[HP: 390,000/390,000]
[Physical Attack: 1,200-2,300]
[Physical Defense Power: 1,200-2,300]
[Magical defense power: 1,100-2,200]
