Chapter 1116: Upgrade

At this moment, inside the Abyss Magic Cave Dungeon, only Huang Mingxin in the distance and Su Sheng, who was being chased around, remained.

Three small monsters and the boss were attacking Su Sheng, but he relied on the Lion Hunt speed boost, constantly leaping up and down.

Although he looked especially haggard from being chased, there was no choice; Su Sheng could only dodge desperately, because there was no margin for error.

His Life Seed, Lion King stance, and Demon Spirit body had all been expended.

If he died now, he would truly be sent out, leaving only a Holy Light Priest; then this Abyss Dungeon would most likely be a real failure.

However, for now they could only stall for another five minutes, hoping that within those five minutes the plague could poison the remaining sliver of health bar of the Abyss Eye.

Although Su Sheng knew the chance was low, there was nothing else to do now, so they had to gamble.

If after the final five minutes they still couldn't poison the Abyss Eye to death, then there would truly be nothing they could do.

Whoosh~!

At that moment, as usual, a red beam from the Abyss Eye shot straight at Su Sheng.

There was no other option; with only Su Sheng present, it could only attack him.

Of course, with Su Sheng's current speed, he easily dodged the red beam.

Second by second, 400, 400 damage kept popping from the Abyss Eye's head, yet the thin health bar seemed welded in place, remaining completely unchanged.

Su Sheng checked the remaining duration of Lion Hunt and saw just over a minute left.

Just then, another red beam fired from the Abyss Eye.

Su Sheng was about to sidestep to dodge.

"A Sheng, don't move!!"

At that moment, a crisp voice sounded.

It was Huang Mingxin!

There was no margin for error now; the Survival Skill had been given up, and if this red beam hit Su Sheng, he would most likely be killed instantly.

However, Su Sheng paused briefly, then his figure stopped right there… he trusted Huang Mingxin.

Immediately!

A Holy Light Prism enveloped Su Sheng.

Puff!!

The red light refracted instantly, racing back to the Abyss Eye's location!

Roar!!

Meanwhile, the three Abyssal Demon Soldiers kept chasing from behind, but the Abyssal War General's great hammer had already swung down.

Just as the Abyssal War General's hammer was about to crush Su Sheng, its motion suddenly halted!

At that moment, the Abyss Eye was continuously twisting and collapsing!

It turned out that the red beam refracted by the Holy Light Prism became the final straw that toppled the camel, instantly draining the remaining sliver of health from the Abyss Eye.

"Roar roar!!!"

The BOSS stared at the collapsing Abyss Eye, a look of resentment on its face, as if struggling.

But as the Abyss Eye collapsed, the BOSS, the three Abyssal War Soldiers, and all the black Demon Energy in the space were uncontrollably reabsorbed by the collapsing Abyss Eye.

Ding~

System Notification sounded.

As the black Demon Energy was absorbed, the ambient Demon Energy concentration dropped rapidly.

The initial suppression effect fell from 50% to 45%…30%…

Until it reached zero!

At that moment, everything vanished from the space: the Abyss Eye, the BOSS, the black Demon Energy, and the three Abyssal War Soldiers were all gone…

Empty as a void!

But it couldn't be called completely empty; at the spot where the Abyss Eye collapsed, a few items lay on the ground—clearly loot.

Swish!

At that moment, golden light simultaneously flared on both Su Sheng and Huang Mingxin.

Leveled up!

Obviously, although the Abyss Eye was a special unit, clearing it granted experience rewards.

Moreover, judging from the dungeon's state, the rewards were evidently very generous.

Li Wenwan and Shen Wang and Xingchen had both died, so Su Sheng and Huang Mingxin directly split the massive experience.

Ding~

Ding~

Various system notification sounds rang.

Su Sheng couldn't help but be thrilled: he reached level 80!

Ding~!!

Server Announcement: The first player to reach level 80 has appeared, and the barriers between servers of different nations are beginning to merge.

The announcement appeared in huge golden letters, visible not only on the Domestic Server but on all servers.

With the announcement out, the entire game collectively went into chaos.

"Level 80?!"

"What the heck? Mo Wen the god just hit level 80?!"

"What's so strange? I've seen Mo Wen the god at level 79 for a long time."

"Hehe, according to rumors, Mo Wen the god teamed up with several top players, constantly rushing dungeons, so it's no wonder the level is rising fast."

According to what I know, Shen Wang and Xingchen are both in Mo Wen the Great God's squad.

What the hell? Shen Wang isn't from the universe? Chairman? Xingchen isn't the chairman of Morning Star? How could they team up with Mo Wen the Great God? Three chairmen teaming up?

I don't know the specifics, but anyway, haven't you noticed that Xingchen, Shen Wang and their levels have been shooting up fast lately?

And there are two members of the Yanhuang Guild...

Right, right, right, I know that Late Falling Cherry; she is a Hidden Class Mage of the Yanhuang Guild.

That Jasmine Story is ridiculous; if I recall correctly, he should be the chief priest of Yanhuang? Now his level is above ours.

No, is your focus abnormal? Weren't we saying that the borders of each country are starting to touch?!

That's great, I've long wanted to cause trouble on the foreign server, especially a certain server where the Little Days are doing well.

Don't forget the Korean Undead Calamity from last time.

When the time comes, we'll go cause trouble, form a team and invite me…

Afterwards, the domestic server's public channel started going off-topic.

…

Of course, the above is the content discussed by domestic server players; they've been keeping an eye on the Level Ranking List, what about Su Sheng's level?

However, regarding this announcement, the discussion content on the foreign server was completely different.

What the hell? I'm only level 64 while they're already level 80?!

Ahhhh! Definitely cheating!

How did they manage to reach level 80 so fast?!

Have they found out which server's player reached level 80?

…

…

Almost every foreign server is filled with similar remarks.

Of course, the Top Rank player on the Huaxia server, Mo Wen Qianchen, the first to reach level 80, had this news immediately posted on the game forums of every server.

…

At the same time, outside the entrance to the Demon Realm Dungeon.

Shen Wang, Xingchen, and Li Wenwan were waiting here; after being sent out, they likely subconsciously thought this dungeon run had failed.

As a result, unexpectedly, this system announcement suddenly exploded, and they hurriedly went to check the Level Ranking List.

Upon seeing that the Top Rank on the Level Ranking List showed Mo Wen Qianchen's nickname with a level of 80, they all widened their eyes.

At the same time, they glanced down and saw Huang Mingxin; behind the nickname Jasmine Story, the level had also increased by one.

Cleared it!

Xingchen said in a low voice.

At this moment, Su Sheng and Huang Mingxin were still inside the dungeon and had not been teleported out; coupled with their direct level increase, it was obvious they had cleared this dungeon.

"It's good that we cleared it, even though we lost some experience, but Mo Wen Qianchen has reached level 80, so we can first go to Huangcheng to take that quest and then talk." Shen Wang said with a smile.

Although they lost a batch of experience, given his breadth of mind, he naturally wouldn't quibble over it.

Xingchen also grinned, not caring about anything.

One is the former elder brother, chairman of the top-ranked guild among the Ten Great Guilds; the other is the one who, leading the Morning Star Guild, rose to become a colossal third-ranked guild among the Ten Great Guilds without any capital support.

Their vision and breadth of mind naturally wouldn't quibble over such a situation.

As for Li Wenwan, there's even less to say.

However, Shen Wang still spoke directly in the team channel: "Mo Wen Chairman, hurry up and pick up the loot, send it out so we can take a look."

Although he doesn't care much about the lost experience, he is still very much looking forward to the loot from this dungeon given its overall difficulty.

…

Of course, the foreign server's affairs have nothing to do with Su Sheng.

Su Sheng looked at that system announcement and couldn't help but grin.

I'm level 80 now; once I get out of the dungeon, I'll immediately go to Main City to take that quest and then talk, otherwise I'm worried something will go wrong!

Furthermore, according to earlier official information, when the total number of players across all servers reaching level 80 adds up to 1,000, the first National War System will be activated.

Based on the current development trend, it is estimated that the domestic server will account for the vast majority of those 1,000 players who first reach level 80.

But at this moment… Su Sheng saw Shen Wang's comment in the team channel and couldn't help but grin.

"I'll go pick it up now."

After replying to the message, Su Sheng turned his head toward Huang Mingxin's direction and silently raised his thumb.

If it weren't for Huang Mingxin's Holy Light Prism, it would still be questionable whether we could poison the Abyss Eye's health bar with the plague in that remaining time.

Seeing Su Sheng give him a thumbs-up, Huang Mingxin smiled a bit embarrassedly, feeling that if it weren't for his own several earlier mistakes, they probably wouldn't have ended up in this situation.

Afterwards, Su Sheng came up to the loot; originally full of anticipation, upon seeing the items on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

According to his understanding, given such difficulty, their team should be considered the strongest possible lineup that can be assembled from all servers in the game right now.

In this way, they almost capsized, but ultimately they managed to pass by relying on a bit of luck.

By rights, they should at least get a Divine Artifact; the requirement isn't high, just three-colored would be fine.

But right now, the loot dropped by this dungeon is even less luxurious than what the Rat King dropped when they helped the Dream Building Squad complete a task.

Aside from a small pile of Gold Coins, the loot on the ground consisted only of a red item, an orange item, a purple item, and a green item.

Su Sheng picked them up one by one.

The green one is a piece of level 80 equipment with no Third Rebirth requirement, so he skipped it directly.

The purple one is not bad; it's a minor excellent item, also level 80 with no Third Rebirth requirement, and it's a cloth armor.

Overall, the spirit and intellect bonuses are about the same; it can be used by a mousse, and also by a mage.

According to Su Sheng's idea, this cloth armor should be given to Li Wenwan, but I don't know if her equipment is better than this.

After all, Li Wenwan contributed a lot in this dungeon, but she died at the final moment, gaining no experience; giving her this cloth armor can be considered a small compensation.

Then there was that orange item.

It's not equipment, but a design blueprint…

Su Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly; this is an architectural design blueprint.

Demon Suppression Tower setup Orange Blueprint

Description: A Demon Suppression Tower can be built within the main body.

Required materials: …

Demon Suppression Tower effect: When fighting within the stationed area, not affected by Demonic Qi Suppression Effect; furthermore, Demon Race units entering the stationed area suffer a certain degree of weakening.

Su Sheng felt a stir of desire upon seeing this.

But Su Sheng knew he couldn't just take it, after all this dungeon was a joint effort of three guilds.

"I want it, how should I say?" Su Sheng directly shared the attributes of this blueprint in the team channel.

"I want it too!"

"I want it too!"

Almost simultaneously, Xingchen and Shen Wang spoke in the team channel.

This kind of thing, they definitely felt tempted, after all this dungeon's Demonic Qi Suppression Effect made them suffer greatly.

Who can guarantee that in the future there won't be any unexpected situations where the stationed area might be attacked by Demon Race units?

"Cough cough, Chairman Mo Wen, you see we both got wiped, you took all the experience for yourself, and you also have anti-demon potions; how about letting me and Xingchen compete for it?" Shen Wang then spoke in the team channel.

"..." Su Sheng was speechless upon seeing this; it was reasonable, but he really wanted it too.

"How about this, let's first look at the last item; I really want it too." Su Sheng said.

"Alright, let's look at the last item."

Shen Wang and Xingchen both nodded in agreement.

When Su Sheng was looting the spoils, the team chat had prompts, so they also knew there were only four loot items total, and they weren't worried Su Sheng would pocket them.

Su Sheng looked at the final red item, with a hint of anticipation.

Equipment!

Su Sheng's eyes lit up, but then he also felt a bit regretful.

Demon Hunter. Imperial (Red)

Attack: 800

Additional: Agility +1200

Additional: Strength +1000

Additional: Attack Range +30%

Additional: Pet Base Attributes +20%

Additional: Demon Hunter's Order

Category: Shortbow

Level: 80

Description: Omitted

Demon Hunter's Order (Active): Target Demon Race with Execution Skill: Hunting; after activating the skill, pet damage against Demon Race units increases by 30%.

A red shortbow!

The shortbow itself is a secondary weapon for some assassins, mainly used by the hunter branch of the archer profession.

After seeing the attributes of this shortbow, Su Sheng knew its fate.

Subsequently, Su Sheng directly posted the shortbow's attributes in the team channel.

Xingchen almost immediately sent a message!

"Mine, mine, it must be mine! I give up the Demon Suppression Tower blueprint, I just want this!!"
