Chapter 159: Hall Treasure Chest

Although these tomb wraiths are truly fragile, since only Li Wenwan can effectively deal damage, the group's advance speed isn't very fast.

However, it's still okay; this mysterious tomb dungeon has no time limit like the previous Demon Tribe Training Ground, so everyone's time is relatively ample.

Today's game time still has nearly nine hours left; anyway, this dungeon run should be enough.

After about forty minutes, the group finally emerged from the bluestone passage and entered a spacious hall.

Shh~

As soon as they entered the hall, everyone's scalp went numb!

A dense hissing sound came from all sides.

Everyone was very familiar with this sound—it was the hissing of the tomb wraiths.

In the hall, under the dim green light, everyone could see a dense swarm of tomb wraiths; the moment they showed themselves, the wraiths all locked onto this direction and surged forward in an overwhelming tide.

"Fall back!"

"I'm in the front!"

Su Sheng gave the command immediately, and everyone instantly retreated back into the passage.

Su Sheng took the front position; since even the shield couldn't block, he didn't think of raising his shield, just standing there at the passage entrance.

A string of white damage numbers popped up.

Fortunately, although these wraiths float, they still follow basic game rules; the passage is only so wide, so at most about a dozen or so tomb wraiths can hit Su Sheng at once.

If these wraiths could ignore collision volume and stack their attacks directly on Su Sheng, even if each hit was just a tickle, he'd be scraped to death.

Although I didn't count them precisely, at a glance there were no fewer than over a thousand tomb wraiths in the hall.

"Priest, keep an eye on my HP; Wenwan, give it your all." Su Sheng said.

Thus the group stationed themselves at the passage entrance and began clearing monsters.

Thanks to Li Wenwan bringing plenty of blue potions, otherwise we'd have run out of mana.

Not only did Li Wenwan and Huang Mingxin bring full packs of blue potions, Lin Huan also prepared plenty, and the archer also uses Blue Bar.

Furthermore, Chen Guan and Su Sheng each prepared some blue potions in their packs, reserved for the Magic Class; the assassin stacks Killing Intent, and although Su Sheng is a Hidden Class, the knight class template also stacks Battle Intent, so they don't need blue.

This has always been the convention for party play: when there's a mage in the team, the physical classes must help carry extra blue potions; given the mage's heaven-defying output, they have mana, and every mage is a major mana consumer.

Thus, the next rhythm became Chen Guan and Lin Huan just watching the show.

Dealing damage, the two physical classes facing physically immune wraiths could only stare helplessly, unable to resist damage; both are agile squishy classes, and although over 400 magic damage hitting Su Sheng is just a tickle, a few hits on a squishy target would instantly kill them.

Su Sheng took the hits, Li Wenwan dealt damage, Huang Mingxin healed, while Lin Huan and Chen Guan just watched the show...

Those tomb wraiths kept coming in wave after wave.

With ample mana, Li Wenwan quickly cleared these wraiths.

It was painful yet enjoyable.

With so many monsters, Su Sheng felt like a punching bag, only able to take hits passively, unable to fight back; he also got a taste of being a pure tank.

The happy part is that experience kept rising steadily, and the jingling game coins kept dropping—those are all "money".

The frenzied assault continued.

At the moment they stepped out, they just glanced around vaguely; nobody was sure of the exact number of those dense tomb wraiths in the hall.

After a full two hours, the monster horde finally seemed to reach its end; this wave only three tomb wraiths came in, whereas normally they'd fill the passage with a dozen or so.

"Finally, it's almost over!"

Seeing fewer monsters, Su Sheng let out a long breath.

Boom—boom!

As several bursts of magic exploded, the last three tomb wraiths turned into drifting white smoke.

"Phew~ Finally finished killing them!" Seeing no more wraiths charging in, Li Wenwan tossed her staff aside and sat on the ground without any image.

Adding the initial clearing of the passage and later clearing the hall's wraiths, Li Wenwan maintained high-intensity output almost without interruption for nearly three hours.

"You've worked hard, Wenwan." Lin Huan, who had been forced to just watch, came to Li Wenwan's side and gently rubbed her shoulders.

Huang Mingxin was fine, though; although there were many tomb wraiths, since they were only tickling Su Sheng, the healing pressure wasn't big.

Watching Lin Huan rub Li Wenwan's shoulders, Chen Guan gave Su Sheng a strange look.

"Cough cough... Brother Sheng, can I rub you too?"

Su Sheng's face darkened: "Get lost, you calf!"

"Okay~"

Although it was hard work, it wasn't for nothing.

Just from the gold coin drops, these tomb wraiths yielded nearly a thousand gold coins.

Moreover, experience was split evenly; everyone's experience increased a lot, including Su Sheng's, which grew considerably.

The group rested in the passage for about ten minutes before heading back to that hall.

But by then the hall was completely empty, with not a single monster left.

"Hey? No boss?" Chen Guan said somewhat out of nowhere.

By convention, after the small fry are cleared, the boss appears; but the hall was quiet now, with only that eerie green oil lamp flickering faintly.

"Could it be in there?" Su Sheng gave a slight gesture.

Following Su Sheng's gesture, everyone looked and saw a chest placed inside the hall.

It looked glittering with jewels; at a glance you could tell it was a treasure chest.

But...

This is a tomb chamber, who knows whether that's a treasure chest or a coffin; after all, this chest does look somewhat like a coffin's rectangular shape, it's hard to guarantee it isn't a coffin with a jeweled, luxurious appearance.

However, everyone recalled the hint when they first entered the Dungeon: the goal is to find the ultimate treasure.

Everyone looked at this jeweled, luxurious treasure chest, and they all felt somewhat hesitant.

"Could this be that final treasure? Is this Dungeon really going to end so simply?"

Chen Guan said somewhat hesitantly.

Su Sheng was also somewhat surprised, but thinking that the Dungeon scroll was just a blue item, it actually seemed more reasonable.

Chen Guan's words earned him a white-eye from Li Wenwan.

The guy who basically slacked off the whole way, you're certainly relaxed, but I'm exhausted to death.

Even Li Wenwan's self-carried blue bottle has been used up, showing how many ghosts were in the tomb chamber just now.

"Cough cough, just go open it and you'll know."

Su Sheng patted Chen Guan on the shoulder.

"I'll go?"

Chen Guan froze for a moment.

"I'll go!" Su Sheng rolled his eyes; better not rely on that assassin's small frame.

Afterward, Su Sheng stepped forward and stood in front of the treasure chest.

"Whoosh~"

Taking a deep breath, Su Sheng slowly opened this treasure chest...
