Chapter 659: Crystal Palace

"So this is the Dungeon entrance?"

Su Sheng looked at the small pond before him with some surprise.

"But it requires an item to open," Yi Mo Yun Duo nodded and looked at the girl beside him.

"Mo Wen, open the Dungeon; Chairman Mo Wen is bringing Yanhuang's top players to assist, this time we'll definitely make it," Yi Mo Yun Duo said, comforting the girl.

"Okay."

A girl whose game nickname is Yi Tong Yao nodded, then took out a blue bead, bit her lip and tossed the bead into the pond... This was the last one; the quest items total only three beads.

Splash~

Immediately the calm surface of the pond began to swirl, and a deep‑blue vortex appeared on the water.

The previously clear, bottom‑visible water turned bottomless with the vortex's appearance.

"All right, go in." Yi Mo Yun Duo said upon seeing the scene.

Then, as captain, Yi Tong Yao chose to enter the Dungeon... this was her professional duty, so she had to be the captain.

Swish~

Ding~

Dungeon Prompt: Enter the Dungeon "Crystal Palace".

Dungeon Restrictions: None

Dungeon Requirements: None

Clear Condition: Obtain "Jade Water Pearl".

A party of five appeared inside the Dungeon.

Captain Yi Tong Yao, Yi Mo Yun Duo, Su Sheng, Li Wenwan, and Huang Mingxin.

Yi Mo Yun Duo was also a Hidden Class Dou Jian Warrior, and Yi Tong Yao was a Mage.

Su Sheng was being very conscientious, directly bringing in Yanhuang's two top cards; mainly because Yi Mo Yun Duo's priest skill was rather average, and Huang Mingxin's presence could also increase the party's tolerance.

Moreover, four‑fifths of the Yun Duo Guild's players are girls... this is one reason for the guild's weakness; it's not that Su Sheng looks down on female players, but the game's talent system indeed makes most female players unable to match male players.

The former Huakai Guild was almost the top tier among female players.

For example, Gu Qingcheng of Hongmeng, and Liu Xuezhen and Dong Jiaojiao among the Ten Court Yanluo are basically the ceiling for female players.

As for Yi Mo Yun Duo, Su Sheng still acknowledges her skill, having seen her in the Ding Battle, but Yi Mo Yun Duo is also a newcomer in "Zhu Lu", and does not have a place in the Hall of Honor.

Regarding the Hall of Honor in "Zhu Lu", it's not that soon; only after reaching level 100 and fifth rebirth will the Hall competitions open.

"Let's go, you already know the situation of the first wave of monsters, let's go straight ahead."

"Alright!"

No one hesitated.

The Crystal Palace, the Dungeon's setting truly lives up to its name.

Above them was a blue ocean, with fish and shrimp swimming, yet their position had no water at all; it seemed an invisible shield above them kept the water out.

The surrounding scenery was also ice‑crystal clear, and ahead stood a massive crystal hall.

At this moment Su Sheng's party arrived at the front of the crystal hall, which was a plaza.

The plaza was densely packed with monsters.

To enter the crystal hall, one must pass through this plaza.

Those monsters were clumps of blue blobs, without eyes or mouths.

Slime!

That was everyone's first reaction upon seeing the thing.

But unfortunately, it is not...

named Jade Water Sprite.

It is a kind of sprite, merely slime‑like.

It looks soft and cute, but they are all elite monsters around levels 55‑58, with decent stats; previously Yi Mo Yun Duo was twice defeated by these things.

Couldn't even get into the crystal hall.

According to Yi Mo Yun Duo's description.

Mainly these things have very high physical resistance! This caused Yun Duo Guild's top combat power—Chairman Yi Mo Yun Duo—to be completely "wasted", as a Dou Jian Warrior is purely physical damage.

Moreover, regular magic also has some resistance, because it's just a slightly viscous liquid!

Only fire magic can counter it, so Su Sheng brought Li Wenwan.

Their attack method is also simple: magical water arrow technique, damage isn't high... mainly because...

Su Sheng raised his shield and advanced, taunting!

-1

A "cute" "jelly" waddled over like that.

Only... about a dozen more jellies followed behind it, and after reaching a certain distance they all stopped.

Then~

Puff puff puff~

A dense barrage of a dozen water arrows shot out instantly; despite looking like easy targets, they are genuine elite monsters and also carry a hate chain!

Pulling one directly draws the hatred of all the jellies.

Su Sheng watched the dozen water arrows, not daring to be too careless!

Falling Demon Body! Defensive Stance!

Puff~

-989

-999

-1002

-1000

Each water arrow technique does little damage, just around 1000, but there are so many of them that this round directly took over ten thousand of Su Sheng's HP!

Although Su Sheng's HP is close to 70,000 in mounted state, he still can't withstand this, and this is Su Sheng with Priest Buff, adopting Defensive Stance and Falling Demon Body; swapping in anyone else would be unimaginable.

No wonder the Yun Duo Guild wiped out twice on this gatekeeper monster.

And Yun Duo stared blankly at this scene—truly the game's top player—this defensive power...

Fortunately, Su Sheng was just testing the waters with that.

Swish~

Healing spell descended, beginning to pull up Su Sheng's HP.

Su Sheng directly canceled the mounted state; these jelly monsters' attack methods are very simple, and Su Sheng observed their trajectory and speed—they're not fast!

In normal state, Su Sheng can dodge most of them.

Pfft-pfft~

Immediately after, the second wave of water arrows attacked; Su Sheng stepped with the Swimming Dragon Body, moving forward while dodging—since mounted state isn't as agile, he directly canceled mounted state.

This move roughly avoided two-thirds of the water arrows.

"Can fight!" Su Sheng said calmly: "But these monsters' hate linking isn't fully linked, so I'll hit one, you hit another, just focus fire on one and we'll slowly take them down!"

After Su Sheng approached the jelly, he directly thrust out with his spear!

Fang

Pfft~

One spear pierced straight through the jelly without any obstruction.

-2010

Su Sheng smirked speechlessly; this thing looks like it has zero physical defense, but its physical damage reduction is at least 90 percent.

With Priest Buff and Falling Demon Body boosting him, Su Sheng's attack power reached over 8000, yet one thrust only dealt two thousand...

Swish~

Su Sheng jabbed another two thousand; combined with the basic knight template's hate‑pulling effect, his hate value stabilized: "We can start dealing damage."

Cry~

Then a Fire Phoenix swooped down!

Boom!

-38971!

Critical hit!

Su Sheng raised his eyebrows, "Damn, did I hit an artery?"

These things only have 180,000‑200,000 HP, and Li Wenwan's one skill blasted away about a fifth of it.

Hate instantly shifted, this jelly lump immediately started moving toward Li Wenwan, and Su Sheng hurriedly used Taunt to pull the boss back...
