Chapter 220: The Fallen Dwarven Mine

"So cool!"

"It can only be Mo Wen Qianchen, who has a mount and will come back to Wutong Town."

"Having a mount is such a big deal! And they even come back from the Main City just to show off, looking down on pretentious people."

"Could it be that they came back because they have something to do?"

"Or maybe another possibility: having a mount really is impressive."

"Damn, I'm fed up with this travel speed; I also want a mount!"

Su Sheng was completely indifferent, causing a ruckus by galloping on horseback through Wutong Town.

I have to say, having a mount is just awesome.

According to the coordinates provided by Zhu Meng Junjie, at normal speed it would take at least an hour, but Su Sheng arrived in just twenty minutes.

And it's only a regular wild horse, only 2‑star growth.

Su Sheng didn't even allocate any experience to it; mounts can level up just like pets.

The reason for not giving it experience is that its growth value is too low, and once the little guy reaches adulthood he can be ridden, so there's no need to waste part of the experience.

For now, it's barely sufficient for getting around.

As for exposing his whereabouts, Su Sheng naturally didn't care, let alone whether Qiancheng Muxue's guys have time to cause trouble for him.

If they don't come, Su Sheng even wants to go trouble them; don't forget he still has a profession trial task to kill ten players.

Su Sheng arrived in front of the Dream Building Squad's five‑person party.

Seeing Su Sheng galloping on a tall, high‑headed horse, all five members of the Dream Building Squad showed envious expressions.

Like other players, the Dream Building Squad members were tormented by this massive game map to the point of despair; it was okay not to see mounts, but after seeing Su Sheng's mount, they felt even more miserable.

As the saying goes, "I could endure darkness until I saw the light."

"No wonder Mo Wen the Great has a mount," Zhu Meng Qipaoshui said enviously, eyeing the red horse under Su Sheng.

Compared with other players, knight‑type players are clearly more obsessed with mounts.

Although Zhu Meng Qipaoshui plans to take a defensive knight role to cooperate with teammates and cannot fight while mounted, that doesn't stop a knight player's yearning for a mount.

"Just lucky," Su Sheng said with a smile, flipping off the horse.

The little guy is now in the pet space; otherwise they'd be even more shocked.

Of course, after Su Sheng enters the dungeon he still has to summon the little guy, since besides assisting, Su Sheng also intends to level the little guy up.

"Form a party with me," Su Sheng said straight after getting down, without any hesitation.

The general situation of the mission dungeon was already explained by Zhu Meng Junjie on the way here, so there's no need to learn anything else.

It's a quest triggered by a wandering Dwarf in the wild, to help retake the mine.

Originally the mine was a Dwarven hideout, but it was eventually overrun by a horde of monsters that devoured the wandering Dwarves' kin, leaving some Dwarves scattered in exile.

After Zhu Meng Junjie luckily received the task, he went through a series of quest steps: first helping find food to sustain the wandering Dwarves, then searching for the scattered kin… basically the focus was on a life that can't take care of itself.

Finally it reached the step of retaking the homeland.

Zhu Meng Junjie didn't hesitate and immediately sent a party request.

Then Zhu Meng Qipaoshui left the party.

No choice; the dungeon limits parties to five.

The Dream Building Squad had to drop one member, and by lottery, unfortunately it was Zhu Meng Qipaoshui who left.

Dungeon notice: Enter the dungeon "Fallen Dwarven Mine".

Dungeon requirement: Clear all invading monsters.

Restriction: None.

Dungeon difficulty: 35.

At difficulty 35, given the Dream Building Squad's strength, a level‑35 dungeon still has a chance.

After all, the Dream Building Squad has a task saint body like Zhu Meng Junjie, so their stats aren't bad either.

Their average level hovers around 35.

However, the second stage's monsters have armor penetration, and the monster count is dense; you can't attract fewer than two at a time.

Consequently, Zhu Meng Qipaoshui couldn't hold on; the Dream Building Squad members in the first two runs fell at the second wave of monsters.

First wave: level‑35 cave wolves.

This wave posed no difficulty; the Dream Building Squad breezed through.

Su Sheng immediately summoned a suan ni; the little guy, once out, "auto‑patrolled" and locked onto Su Sheng's head.

"Ah, Mo Wen the Great already has a pet."

Seeing the little creature on Su Sheng's head, Zhu Meng Junjie spoke with some surprise.

That's way too fast; according to the information they had, pets and mounts have to be earned on one's own.

It seems Mo Wen the Great has

It hasn't even been two days since Zhu Que Main City, and the pets and mounts are already complete.

Meanwhile, Zhu Meng Xiao E watched the lazy little creature perched on Su Sheng's head, eyes twitching as if wanting to pet it.

"Xiao E, give me a buff."

Su Sheng's voice snapped Zhu Meng Xiao E back to attention.

"Here it comes!" Zhu Meng Xiao E replied quickly, and without delay tossed several priest buffs onto the field.

Then Su Sheng charged forward with his sword.

The Dream Building Squad members were still ready to help…

Only to witness what can only be called… slaughter.

At level 41, Su Sheng's balanced offense-defense value has reached 1851, HP 12020; under Zhu Meng Xiao E's buff, offense and defense are close to 2000, HP about 14,000.

These level 35 small monsters simply can't do anything to Su Sheng.

Zhu Meng Xiao E is even preparing to heal Su Sheng.

Then they discovered Su Sheng wasn't losing any HP.

The lion-like beast's shield, aside from the vacuum period, has never dropped...

In one minute, those level 35 cave-dwelling wolves couldn't reduce over ten thousand of the shield value, and the lion-like beast's new shield came again.

(Cave-dwelling wolf: Not this much bullying.)

Then the four members of the Dream Building Squad... just quietly watched the show.

The experience distribution mode is that the team leader takes fifty percent, the rest is evenly split among the others.

The members of the Dream Building Squad watched their experience points slowly increase.

Although they had already entered the dungeon for the third time, because the dungeon failure did not cause a level drop but deducted fifty percent of the current level's experience (if less than fifty percent, it goes directly to zero), the Dream Building Squad members still had experience.

Thus, the Dream Building Squad members watched Su Sheng alone, in about forty minutes, single-handedly clear the first wave of monsters and reach the boss of the first stage.

You should know that even their full five-member squad would take about an hour and a half.

The cave-dwelling wolf king, a level 38 normal BOSS, had all its attributes except HP completely crushed by Su Sheng.

Then, the Dream Building Squad members discovered that Su Sheng soloing the boss seemed to have no pressure...
