Chapter 166: Flipping the Coffin Lid

~7 min read 1,218 words

This time, after being mentally prepared and starting to lose blood, everyone also did not panic.

They advanced quickly.

Because there were likely no monsters, Chen Guan, who normally had the highest agility, took the lead.

Next came Lin Huan; as an archer, he also belonged to the leather-armor agility class.

After all, Su Sheng's hunting stance was still on cooldown.

This time, the pressure fell on Huang Mingxin.

She calculated the cooldowns of each healing skill and the proportion of time spent losing blood.

If there were no monsters, there was no need to keep everyone's health at full; they only needed to stay alive while passing through the Yin-Yang Force Field's trial.

Swish~

Continuous healing.

Huang Mingxin applied it to herself.

She had to ensure her own survival first; otherwise, if she fell, there would be no healer to treat them.

Swish~

Swish~

The Healing Technique and the enhanced version carried on the staff were respectively cast onto Su Sheng and Li Wenwan.

The two Hidden Classes are the core of the team, so naturally we must prioritize ensuring their safety,

They waited until the next cooldown ended before the healing skills were respectively given to Lin Huan and Chen Guan.

The group advanced a considerable distance; indeed, as Su Sheng had guessed, there were no monsters at all, only a Yin-Yang Force Field continuously causing health loss.

They continued forward, and their health kept dropping.

Soon two minutes passed, and everyone drank a Blood Bottle for the first time.

However, the passage had not yet reached its end, and no one knew how long the black-and-white passage actually was.

"Everyone, pay attention and reasonably arrange the use of Blood Bottles."

"It's not necessary to keep full health; maintaining a fifty-percent safety line is enough." Su Sheng, looking ahead at the seemingly endless black-and-white passage, reminded them.

"Mingxin sister, try to keep your health as low as possible."

Everyone nodded to show they understood.

"Also, everyone take off the gear that boosts your health." Su Sheng spoke while removing his equipment.

After removing the stamina and health gear, Su Sheng was left with only a set of system cloth clothing, designed to prevent exhibitionists; even if a player wears no equipment, the system generates a covering set of cloth.

Otherwise, there might be some eccentric individuals causing trouble—since the forest is big, all kinds of birds exist; don't doubt this.

In fact, reality can be even more exaggerated than movies; stories need logic, but reality does not.

Everyone removed their health-boosting gear in order to maximize Huang Mingxin's healing output.

After all, the health loss is percentage-based, so the amount of health doesn't matter much.

Otherwise, with Su Sheng's total health, one person alone could consume all of Huang Mingxin's healing capacity.

The others also promptly removed their health-boosting gear.

Instantly, Huang Mingxin's pressure dropped sharply.

This stage seems to test the team's survivability; the Priest is the core key.

Fortunately, Huang Mingxin wields a level-35 purple specialized weapon that comes with an enhanced healing technique; otherwise, this stage would indeed be quite harsh.

Of course, there is also a solution—reducing the number of personnel—but that is the last resort.

If that doesn't work, let Huan Jie and Chen Guan wait on the second layer while Su Sheng takes Li Wenwan and Huang Mingxin to the third layer.

However, for now it seems there is no major problem.

Everyone had walked about five or six minutes, yet the passage's end was still not in sight.

"Just how long is this passage?" Chen Guan couldn't help but complain.

"Be patient." Su Sheng spoke calmly.

Originally, Lin Huan and the three women were also somewhat anxious, but seeing Su Sheng's calm demeanor, they also felt somewhat relieved.

Finally...

About ten minutes later.

Finally, they saw the end ahead.

At this point, everyone could only keep their health at around forty percent at most.

"Give it a little more effort, we're almost there."

Looking at the exit ahead, Su Sheng also showed a smile.

To be frank, the black-and-white passage had no reference points, no monsters, only the echo of everyone's footsteps.

It was still somewhat oppressive; although they could endure, not seeing the end of the road always made people feel uneasy.

Now they finally saw the exit.

Everyone's pace unconsciously quickened a bit... Of course, this was merely a psychological effect, as they were already moving at full speed given their current state.

The mountain looks close but the horse dies trying to reach it.

Although they had seen the exit.

Everyone also needed about a minute and a half more to actually reach the passage's exit.

"We're out!" Chen Guan was the first to rush out, seeing the Yin-Yang Force Field disappear on the panel, he let out a big sigh of relief.

Lin Huan followed closely behind, and then everyone walked out of this passage.

After exiting, there was still a short stretch of brick passage and a dark entrance; no one knew what lay inside.

"Everyone, don't rush in yet; put on your gear and take a break."

"If there's a boss inside, we can only retreat first and then log off here." Su Sheng looked at the dark entrance ahead and said.

After all, there are only over forty minutes of game time left; if there really is a boss, we can't beat it.

Previously, the boss on the second floor was a level 40 Pseudo Commander-level BOSS; if this third floor has a boss, it's unimaginable.

Su Sheng even felt that this so-called treasure map was just a blue one-time-use item, really not a misgraded quality?

Moreover, the difficulty of this dungeon is such that an ordinary level 30 team coming in is just delivering food.

As for Su Sheng and Li Wanwan's two hidden classes' strength, we won't elaborate further; even so, it's still this difficult.

Moreover, if Li Wanwan hadn't extorted a few Heavenly Craft Stones from her cousin Li Xiao, and everyone hadn't equipped level 35 purple weapons, we might not have made it this far.

A level 30 one-time dungeon, it's just a trap.

Su Sheng silently complained in his heart.

Soon everyone's health was full, and then they were fully equipped.

Under Su Sheng's lead, everyone entered that dark entrance.

Then everyone fell silent.

Again, it was the same hall, with an ordinary coffin in the center.

And there was nothing else.

The halls of the previous two floors had treasure chests, although the second floor's chest was a coffin-shaped treasure chest.

But now the central position of this third floor actually has a real coffin placed there, instead of a jewel-bright treasure chest.

"Cough cough, Sheng ge, you open." Chen Guan shrank his neck.

Su Sheng saw Chen Guan's appearance and couldn't help grinning, nodded, and walked over.

As Su Sheng placed his hand on the coffin, everyone became tense and alert.

What difficulty will the boss on this third floor be?

Click click~

As Su Sheng slowly pushed open the coffin lid, everyone's gaze fixed tightly on the widening gap.

Splash~

The coffin lid was directly flipped open by Su Sheng.

But there was no boss at all.

Only a red light shot up into the sky...

"Niang Xipi!" Chen Guan couldn't help complaining again.
