Chapter 160: Polar Reversal?

A burst of brilliant light instantly shone on Su Sheng's face.

Golden light, blinding golden light.

The moment the treasure chest opened, inside was completely glittering gold.

Ding~

Dungeon tip: Congratulations, player, you found the first treasure.

Reward: Gold Coin +10000

Then....

The golden light then disappeared, and the chest was empty.

Gone.

Huh?

Su Sheng looked at the ten thousand Gold Coins that had appeared in his backpack, bewildered.

The other team members also saw the prompt, but the Gold Coins only belonged to Su Sheng, who opened the chest.

"Ten thousand Gold Coins!"

Lin Huan's eyes almost turned into the shape of Gold Coins; as the captain of the gold‑making studio, he was naturally very keen on Gold Coins.

"Sheng bro, this is just perfect—since we're preparing to build a guild, our Gold Coin expenses will surely be large, and this ten thousand Gold Coins will exactly cover those costs," Chen Guan said.

"Exactly, that's perfect." Lin Huan also came to his senses and chimed in.

"Hmm." Su Sheng nodded: "The dungeon hasn't ended yet; this is just the first treasure, not the final one."

"However, it's indeed surprising that there's no boss in this dungeon stage." Chen Guan still felt somewhat surprised.

"The difficulty of those tomb ghosts earlier is no lighter than that of an ordinary boss," Huang Mingxin said.

Upon hearing that, Chen Guan fell silent for a moment; indeed, that was true.

With any other team, they could easily have messed up.

The tomb specters deal magic damage and are also physically immune.

If it weren't for Su Sheng and Li Wenwan's two hidden classes being relatively overpowered, the group definitely wouldn't have had it so easy.

The game system gave no prompt for completing the dungeon.

But at this moment the hall was empty, with nothing except the already‑empty chest.

"This dungeon should have more to come; let's look around for any continuation," Su Sheng said while scanning the surroundings.

Afterwards, everyone spread out in the hall to search for clues.

But the hall is just that big—everything is visible at a glance.

The five of them walked around, searching the hall for nearly ten minutes, yet they still found no further clues.

"Strange, could it really be gone?"

Having found no clues, Li Wenwan felt a bit down.

Su Sheng frowned in thought, then surveyed the empty tomb hall once more; the dim green oil lamps really made one feel uneasy.

Finally, Su Sheng's gaze settled on the empty chest: "Not necessarily..."

"Ah Sheng, what did you find?" Lin Huan looked toward Su Sheng.

Su Sheng said nothing and walked to the chest.

Then he kicked it.

Click~

With a soft sound, the chest shifted a distance; the empty chest was very light.

Sure enough, after moving it, the chest revealed a dark stairwell entrance.

"Wow, even doing a dungeon comes with a game of hide‑and‑seek."

Chen Guan saw the entrance beneath the chest and couldn't help but complain.

"Now that we've found the entrance, it's easy—let's go down," Su Sheng said with a smile.

Lin Huan's three female companions stared at the pitch‑black entrance and couldn't help but shrink their heads back.

Seeing this, Su Sheng smiled and led the way straight inside.

A short staircase, no more than about ten meters, brought everyone to a somewhat familiar tomb corridor.

The same blue bricks, the same green oil lamps.

"Huh?" Chen Guan glanced somewhat surprised at the stairs behind them.

If it weren't for this staircase, they would have thought they'd just entered the dungeon a moment ago.

"Let's go." Su Sheng, not overly surprised, took the lead at the front.

The others followed suit.

Soon the party of five encountered the second type of monster in the dungeon.

Tall zombies, but wearing a layer of armor, looking like soldiers buried with a king or general.

Seeing these monsters, Su Sheng silently prayed they were also physically immune, otherwise it would be frustrating.

Li Wenwan didn't hesitate and hurled a fireball at them.

Boom!

A burst of flame surged up on the nearest zombie.

It also triggered the Phoenix Flame effect.

But…

Exempt!

Exempt

Exemption

…

A series of exemptions floated up.

After Li Wenwan identified the monster's attributes, she, with a strange expression, posted the monster's attribute chart in the party channel,

Iron Armor Zombie

Level: 35

Attack: 500

Defense: 600

HP: 30000

Skills: Forbidden Magic Iron Armor (Magic Exemption), Mighty Strength (Attack cannot be Block)

Description: None

At that moment, everyone wore a strange expression.

What is this called?

Is it the turn of fortune?

Polarity reversal?

"Haha, this time, it's our turn to perform,"

"Beautiful Wenwan, you may rest,"

Having held back for so long, Chen Guan said nothing and charged straight forward.

Halfway through the charge, his whole body twisted and vanished.

A few seconds later.

Chen Guan's figure suddenly materialized behind the Iron Armor Zombie.

Assassinate!

Normal Attack!

Stun Club!

Normal Attack!

Sever Tendon!

Normal Attack!

…

A supremely smooth combo: each time one dagger uses a skill, the dagger in the other hand always manages a smoothly executed normal attack.

The front-and-back dagger technique, played with great smoothness by Chen Guan, is the ultimate assassin attack.

Many assassins always use both daggers when activating a skill, but a single dagger can also cast a skill if you are in Free Mode; in system‑assisted mode, the skill will force you to use both daggers.

Normal Attack!

Normal Attack!

Killing Intent! Full!

Weak Point Determination!

Finisher, Chisel Strike!

Killing Intent Triggered!

Lucky roll, a Weak Point Critical Hit occurred!

Puff~

The Iron Armor Zombie couldn't counter; its 30,000‑HP bar was reduced to a thin sliver.

Chen Guan's interleaved front‑and‑back dagger strike instantly took down that Iron Armor Zombie.

30,000 HP!

One burst combo instantly kills—this is what an assassin does.

Although the lucky Weak Point Critical Hit was the main factor, Chen Guan's gear is also quite lavish, and his weapon is a level‑35 purple weapon.

Being able to instantly obliterate an Iron Armor Zombie is also normal.

"Alright, let's go up," Su Sheng said with a smile, advancing with sword and shield.

This time, it's Li Wenwan's turn to watch the show.

These Iron Armor Zombies aren't particularly hard to handle; unlike the tomb hall ghosts with high attack and low defense, at least in front of Su Sheng they're practically low attack, low defense.

The main point is that a single Magic Exemption instantly kills all magic‑type classes.

Fortunately, Su Sheng's physical damage is not far off from Li Wenwan's magical damage.

Moreover, Chen Guan and Lin Huan have been holding back for two or three hours, watching the show and feeling frustrated.

Now it's finally their turn to output damage, so they give it their all!

This time, this Tomb Passage, under the relentless slaying by Su Sheng, Chen Guan, and Lin Huan, was cleared in just over twenty minutes.

Furthermore, these Iron Armor Zombies are generous; each drops silver coins.

Ahead, another similar Great Hall appears.

"If nothing goes wrong, it should be like the hall above. You wait here; I'll go in and pull the monsters,"

After Su Sheng gave the reminder, he stepped forward and entered…
