Chapter 5 (1/2)
Compet.i.tion
“Small White Rabbit Candy is responsible for the magic s.h.i.+eld to protect Dark Sword. Along the way, we must try to save time. If we can avoid the monster then we will avoid. We must catch up to the European team in front of us. We’ll start now.” Broker Saber said and took the lead to enter the cave. The others followed in. Small White Rabbit Candy stayed at the end of the line and gave Zhou Jian a stern look. She lowered her voice. “I’m warning you. Don’t hold me back!”
Once she finished, she slowly casted a magic s.h.i.+eld on Zhou Jian. He, of course, wouldn’t care to dispute with a little girl. He quickly kept pace with the rest of them.
Along the way, there’s too many monsters. Although the team tried to save time, but still couldn’t avoid fighting with them. The battle scene was naturally very dangerous, but Zhou Jian was feeling like a tourist on an adventure. He didn’t even need to do anything. He just stationed himself in the center of the team, and added with Small White Rabbit Candy casting magic s.h.i.+eld on him, he just needed to watch as his experience gauge increased.
This was but a level 35 dungeon. A group of more than level 30 experts bringing along one level 20 thief. Leveling speed was of course very fast. Others were trying to find this opportunity but also couldn’t get. (tl: author used the prior lantern idiom here)
Broken Saber simultaneously killed, and looked at the side table. His expression grew increasingly serious. He understood the strength of the European dream team. British billionaire’s son. The grandson of the Russian oligarch. Italian mafia’s heir. And that level 36 “Terrorist Ivan”was a master from Russia’s largest mercenary organization. His law of practice allowed him to continue without sleep.
This type of team strength was definitely better than his. By now, that team should have entered into the second layer of the Demon’s Nest.
Sure enough, Broken Saber received a message soon after. “Dearest Saber. Where are you? We have entered the second level of the Demon’s Nest. After three minutes, we will start fighting with the Demon Lord’s minion.”
The message was sent by Terrorist Ivan. Broken Saber and this guy knew each other. The both of them were old enemies.
“Captain, we’re surrounded by the monsters!”
Broken Saber frowned and said. “Break through at all costs.”
The team members started to use some of the expensive elixirs. The five Clerics added buffs to the team. The Warriors rampaged in the front line and the Mages, Thieves and Archer were crazily dealing damage.
Even Zhou Jian also symbolically threw a few bottles of explosive agents to poison the monsters.
Looking at the experience gauge, it didn’t take much effort to level up. Zhou Jian had raise early on to level 20, but in the last two months he was crazily doing missions. Although the experience was modest but the acc.u.mulated experience still push the gauge up to 90 percent to reach level 21.
The team fought for a full five minutes before finally eliminating all the monsters. Zhou Jian also finally leveled up to 21. Although the experience was full, he didn’t leveled up straight away.
In 《G.o.ds and Demons》, the stats would fully recover once leveled up. This was also a life preservation method.
“Full speed ahead to enter the second floor. I’m afraid that the European team had started to fight against the BOSS. We must reach there as soon as possible.”
“Yes. captain.”
The amount of monsters in the second layer of Demon’s Nest was much less but the grade increased correspondingly. Cleaning up was not as easy in the first layer. The team struggled all the way for five minutes before rus.h.i.+ng into the Demon’s Hall.
In Demon’s Hall, their vision suddenly lit up. The lava was flowing all around here. The heat kept on pounding on. Even the rock that they stood on felt hot because the magma had been heating up the rock till scalding red hot.
“Thud! Thud!”
Heavy heartbeats could be heard from the distance. Like a hammer hitting the people’s eardrum. This made everyone felt like their own heart beat was receiving suppression.
Zhou Jian was surprised. Just a Demon Lord’s heart was already so strong. If he met the actual demon himself, what extent will its strength be?
“Dark Sword. Seal!” Broken Saber threw the Pandora’s seal, which Zhou Jian firmly caught. “While we’re occupying the Demon Lord’s minion, the rest is all up to you.”
“Don’t worry.” Although Zhou Jian was badly equipped, but he used to play a lot of games. He had also seen a lot of such scenes. He wasn’t that nervous.
