Chapter 1097: Joy to the Extreme Brings Sorrow

…

Lion Fang!

Puff!

Critical!

Slash!

Su Sheng successfully killed the monster in front of him, and looking at the dropped items, Su Sheng smiled.

"Collected."

Su Sheng said.

Finally gathered them all; the last hundred or so took almost three hours.

"That wasn't easy," Zhu Meng Junjie came over and picked up the quest items.

"Now we should do that Easter Egg Quest. Zhu Meng Qipaoshui, you go with the Assassin Guild brothers first; Junjie and the other four of you follow me to check out the quest."

Su Sheng said, looking at the members of the Dream Building Squad.

Zhu Meng Junjie nodded, indicating no problem.

And Zhu Meng Qipaoshui said nothing; he had been mentally prepared.

After all, he was a tier member, and there were only five slots; with Chairman Mo Wen present, there was naturally nothing to worry about.

When the quest first came with a five-person limit, Zhu Meng Qipaoshui had already prepared himself mentally; after all, this wasn't the first time.

Team leader Zhu Meng Junjie is a Mage, the core damage dealer; although the leader is not a Hidden Class, his single-handed output is still high.

Zhu Meng Qingyuan is a Fangshi, providing control support and a bit of damage.

Zhu Meng Xiao E need not be mentioned; as a Priest, he is naturally one of the core points.

As for Zhu Meng Ali, being a Furious Warrior, he is at least a damage dealer.

So, only Zhu Meng Qipaoshui can substitute.

"As for the other brothers, if you're interested, explore here; if not, you can return—no need to waste time."

Su Sheng said, looking at the members of the Assassin Guild.

"Alright."

Everyone nodded.

"Thanks for your hard work, brothers, sorry about that."

Zhu Meng Junjie apologized again; after all, having over a thousand people accompany him on the quest was indeed a bit embarrassing.

"No problem, let's set off quickly; cooperating with the Chairman to secure this Easter Egg Quest on the Eagle Sauce Server is a sure profit," Chen Guan gestured.

Then Su Sheng led Zhu Meng Junjie and the other three members of the Dream Building Squad onto their mounts and set off according to the quest coordinates.

After watching Su Sheng's party disappear into the distance, the others all turned to Chen Guan.

"Vice-chair, what should we say now?"

Chen Guan pondered and said, "As the saying goes, since we're already here, it'd be a pity to just go back. How about we split up and see if we can get any unexpected gains?"

"Fine."

The others basically had no objections to the suggestion; indeed, as the saying goes, since we're here.

After all, the National War system is not active at this stage, and chances to cross to other servers are few, except for the A San Server…

But aside from those doing quests, causing trouble, streaming, or making program content, others rarely go to the A San Server.

After all, on the A San Server now, the monster attributes of the other two groups are heavily affected by Demon Energy, making the difficulty extreme and not worth the effort.

As for the only remaining Main City—no, the Main City is gone now… Under these circumstances, any decent grinding spot would be swamped with people. Going back would just make you a target; what would we do there?

Moreover, going back offers no supplies, and the respawn point can't be set there; after death you'd revive on our side, so there's no reason to waste time going over.

So now, with the rare chance to run to the Eagle Sauce Server, and it's the Huangcheng map, they naturally have to wander around more, since they haven't even visited the Huangcheng on their own Domestic Server.

Thus, the remaining nearly a thousand people all dispersed in a clamor, each choosing a direction to explore.

Even Zhu Meng Qipaoshui summoned his own mount and wandered off.

Since the team leader wasn't there, if he went back alone he'd just have to level up with the guild's main force, grinding monsters daily; now that little time is irrelevant.

…

On Su Sheng's side, the group's speed wasn't slow, and they quickly arrived at the quest location.

Sure enough, it's a dungeon!

"Go! Enter."

Su Sheng led the team and immediately chose to trigger the dungeon.

Entering dungeon: Newborn Demon Cave.

Dungeon restriction: None

Dungeon requirement: Rescue the caravan leader's daughter.

Hidden requirement:???

"Indeed, very similar," Su Sheng smiled faintly, then rode ahead, raising his shield, riding a suanni forward. This is a cave, but still quite spacious.

Even while riding the suanni, there's plenty of room to move.

Soon they encountered the first wave of monsters.

The demonic animals were all level 80 Normal Monsters, but their stats were exaggerated since they were all Fourth Rebirth templates.

With Su Sheng leading the Dream Building Squad, handling them was relatively easy, though it still took some time to clear these Fourth Rebirth template level 80 Normal Monsters, whose attributes were indeed unpredictable.

However, after defeating a few, the previously indifferent group instantly became excited.

Because they discovered the monsters gave especially high experience!

Although the monsters I was grinding outside were level 90, the wild monsters have an experience acquisition threshold, so I felt no surprise; the only feeling was that they were tough to deal with.

After all, it took over a day for more than a thousand people to collect a thousand drops, showing how tough these monsters are; after all, the level gap among players at this stage is still too large.

But this is in a dungeon, and the monsters in the dungeon have no experience protection.

These level 80 monsters, and they are also Fourth Rebirth Templates, give out all the experience they can provide in full to everyone.

"Experience! So abundant!"

Zhu Meng Junjie exclaimed.

Su Sheng's eyes also lit up, and he himself was still wearing that six‑color ring… Although Su Sheng's level is 73, the experience given by these monsters is not low either.

Su Sheng even roughly calculated the experience ratio; if he could keep grinding like this, he could reach level 74 in just two days.

If he were grinding outside, gaining that level would take over a month!

Thus, everyone was instantly full of motivation.

While grinding these monsters, recommending them, and watching the experience surge, everyone's faces showed an uncontrollable smile.

But often, extreme joy leads to sorrow.

As everyone continued to go deeper.

Soon, a system notification came…

They entered an environment rich in demon energy.

"…"

Everyone instantly felt gloomy.

Su Sheng also raised his eyebrows.

I almost forgot—this is a Magic Cave Dungeon, and anything related to the Demon Race brings this troublesome negative attribute.

"How much anti‑demon potion do you have on you?"

Su Sheng asked.

Now that Chen Jianping is here, the Yanhuang Guild has always been producing anti‑demon potions.

Furthermore, they have reached a cooperation with the Universe, and the material supply is quite sufficient.

So, almost every Yanhuang Guild member will keep some anti‑demon potion in their backpack.
