Chapter 161: Chen Guan Opens a Treasure Chest

In fact, it hadn't surprised Su Sheng at all.

Su Sheng stepped forward with one foot.

Clack~

The uniform clanking of armor rang out, and under the dim green oil lamp, countless tiny red dots lit up.

Tsk tsk, this scene was far more spectacular than the first floor's tomb chamber ghost hall; the ghost hall was just a swath of pallid white floating in mid‑air, whereas here countless iron‑clad soldiers were packed together, their scarlet eyes standing out starkly against the grim green surroundings.

Roar~

The iron‑clad zombies roared as they crowded together and lunged at Su Sheng.

"Hehe~" Su Sheng chuckled, stepped back a few paces, retreating into the corridor, where they collided with each other, and the clashing of iron armor sounded especially harsh.

The packed iron‑clad zombies surged in as well, but the passage was too narrow; these zombies were far bulkier than the tomb chamber ghosts, and only four or five could squeeze through the cramped corridor at once.

Su Sheng could easily hold them off, without even needing Huang Mingxin's healing; the 3% lifesteal from his Wolf Fang Pendant alone was enough to sustain his own health.

Back then, against the tomb chamber ghosts, there was no way—complete immunity, no chance to lifesteal.

"Kong Lang, Huan Jie, get to work!" Su Sheng raised the Dragon Scale shield in his hand.

It seemed as if we had returned to the time of the first floor.

Only this time, Li Wenwan was the one watching the spectacle.

Although these iron‑clad zombies were much tougher than the tomb chamber ghosts, there were three people in the party dealing physical damage, so clearing these iron‑clad zombies wasn't that slow.

An hour later, the iron‑clad zombies still hadn't been fully cleared.

Swish~

Swish~

One ahead and one behind, two shafts of golden light lit up.

Lin Huan and Huang Mingxin both rose to level 31!

The experience was truly abundant.

"Ahem... my cousin is asking what we're doing, why the level‑up is so fast," Li Wenwan said with a hint of a smile at that moment.

"No problem, just answer truthfully," Su Sheng said without turning his head.

It's no wonder Li Xiao asks.

At this moment, on the Level Ranking List, Su Sheng was far ahead at level 33, holding first place.

Second and third were the newly promoted Huang Mingxin and Lin Huan, respectively.

Fourth and fifth were Li Wenwan and Chen Guan; the Shen Wang, also level 30, was sixth. Although also level 30, the dungeon's rich experience meant Li Wenwan and Chen Guan had more experience than the Shen Wang.

The illustrious Chairman of the top guild, Huan Yu, was pushed down to sixth.

"Hmm." Li Wenwan nodded.

"A one‑time dungeon, how is this little thief so lucky," Li Xiao said speechlessly, looking at his younger sister Li Wenwan's reply.

To clear a one‑time dungeon twice in such a short span, that luck was truly enviable.

As for the one‑time dungeon scrolls, Huan Yu had been buying them at high prices; not only Huan Yu, but the other top ten guilds were also purchasing them dearly, yet none were available.

"There's nothing we can do; looks like I'm old," the Shen Wang shook his head.

"Tch~ Boss, you still claim to be old? I don't believe it," Li Xiao rolled his eyes and looked at the Shen Wang.

"Haha, those who know me are Shen Xiao!" the Shen Wang laughed heartily.

"However, this time his guild's rise is unstoppable," the Shen Wang said helplessly, shaking his head.

"Not a big problem; we're not enemies. That little thief still owes us a favor, and besides my younger sister is over there," Li Xiao grinned.

"That's one way to put it..." the Shen Wang shook his head.

Compared with Huan Yu's composure, the people in Wutong Town who have conflicts with Su Sheng are far less pleasant.

Qiancheng Gongzi stared at the Level Ranking List, his gaze grim, thoughts unknown.

…

Mysterious Tomb Dungeon.

When about five hours of game time remained, the endless stream of iron‑clad zombies had been completely cleared.

Lin Huan and Huang Mingxin leveled up, and Chen Guan and Li Wenwan's experience had also passed the halfway mark.

Even Su Sheng's accumulated experience, plus this round of iron‑clad zombies, had reached eighty percent.

Su Sheng felt that if another wave of monsters came, he might even level up today.

"Not bad."

Su Sheng looked at his experience bar and said with a smile.

"Indeed, we collected over five thousand Gold Coins in total."

"This truly is a treasure dungeon," Chen Guan said, his face beaming with joy.

Su Sheng was in the core position, taking damage while dealing damage, so naturally he had no time to pick up loot.

Meanwhile, Lin Huan was outputting from near‑maximum range at the back, because the earlier Precision Ring made his damage increase the farther he was.

Although Li Wenwan was just watching, and Huang Mingxin felt no pressure, the two short‑legged fragile ones were naturally hard to get close to.

That left only Chen Guan, who grabbed loot during his skill cooldowns.

This wave of iron‑clad zombies yielded a full five thousand Gold Coins.

"Let's go, in," Su Sheng, sword and shield in hand, led the way into the hall.

We have to thank the rapid respawn of these iron‑clad zombie corpses; otherwise they'd block the passage and we probably couldn't get in.

Su Sheng smacked his lips, feeling this dungeon was quite interesting.

The first wave tested the party's magical output, and of course the main tank had to be sturdy, otherwise a pure magical attack would be too much for an ordinary tank to endure.

The second stage tested physical output.

Of course, the premise is that the main tank also has to hold up.

This is essentially a test of the entire team's overall comprehensive strength.

I don't know if there is a next stage, and I don't know what the next stage will test.

After entering the hall, the surrounding layout is almost identical, except the inner big private room has a slightly different shape.

「Su Sheng, Su Sheng, this time let me open the treasure chest, I'll open it! 」

Chen Guan directly sped past Su Sheng's position and rushed toward the treasure chest.

At the same time, the three girls of Huakai also walked into the hall.

Su Sheng shook his head, said nothing; obviously this guy felt comfortable with his loot from just now.

Anyway, the treasure chest isn't dangerous; I just don't know what it will give this time.

Could it also be Gold Coin?

By this time, Chen Guan had already arrived in front of the glittering treasure chest.

Looking at the chest before him, Chen Guan rubbed his hands, then lifted the chest's lid.

Crack crack crack…

No golden light.

Boom!

Instead, a black-and-white halo burst explosively from inside the chest.

「Holy shit…」

-1177

A damage number popped up from Chen Guan's head.

At the same time, Chen Guan's whole body flew sideways, and the treasure chest lid in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Whoosh~

Huang Mingxin, quick-eyed and quick-handed, cast a Healing Technique, adding a continuous heal onto Chen Guan's head.

Smack~

Chen Guan slammed hard into the hall's wall.

-1570!

Another impact damage.

If it weren't for Huang Mingxin's timely Healing Technique, Chen Guan would probably have been done for this hit.

「Niang Xipi…」

Chen Guan couldn't help but blurt out a curse.

At this moment, a 「big treasure」 floated up from the 「treasure chest」 that Chen Guan had opened…
