Chapter 695: Red Light

…

Su Sheng was momentarily stunned.

Not…

Bro, are you kidding?

No wonder, this is a free‑exploration Dungeon.

So that's how it is.

Su Sheng surveyed the surroundings; aside from this plaza, everything outside was pitch black.

The Dungeon lasts six hours, and less than half an hour has passed.

"Scatter!"

Su Sheng decided at once.

"This is a free‑exploration Dungeon! It's likely that combat isn't the main mode here."

"Assassin players, move freely!"

"Everyone else, split into ten squads, avoid combat!"

"First split into ten directions to explore!"

"If exploration yields nothing, we'll try to adjust."

An epic‑grade material lay on the ground like that.

Swish swish swish~

In just a minute, the crowd had formed teams.

Do not doubt the discipline of former elite soldiers…

As for Su Sheng…

He simply chose to act alone.

Then each squad leader, after picking a direction, set off on his own.

Apart from the lone assassin player and Su Sheng, each squad's composition was well balanced.

Moreover, each group had about eighty or ninety people, able to look out for one another.

Su Sheng glanced at the direction, guessed a spot, and headed straight for it…

If nothing went wrong, that spot should be toward the town center.

…

Got it, got it, got it~

The sound of horse hooves echoed through the silent city.

Very quiet…

The whole city was unusually quiet, but Su Sheng wasn't rushing, constantly watching the surroundings.

"Whoa, good stuff…"

Description: …

In the Team Channel, Liu Mang that guy posted two blueprints.

Indeed it's good stuff; now no one has Instant Healing Potions, so Priests are especially important.

If we have Instant Healing Potions, reliance on Priests can be reduced considerably.

Of course, the various buffs from Priests are still irreplaceable.

At the same time, this proves the Dungeon isn't a monster‑killing Dungeon; splitting up to explore was the right decision.

"Where did you find it?"

Someone in the team immediately asked.

"A shop, looks like a pharmacy."

"There are a few more shops nearby; I'll go check them out."

"WTF!"

Just then…

Within the team, Bu Er Li Mang's avatar suddenly went dark.

Instakilled?!

Everyone was startled!

Bu Er Li Mang's strength is, naturally, beyond doubt.

But who could instakill him?

The team's first casualty turned out to be Liu Mang, who is one of the Ten Court Yanluo!

"Pah, I revived at the base and my experience was cleared out."

Soon after, Liu Mang sent a message in the guild channel.

Dying in a dungeon does not drop a level; instead, it drops fifty percent of current level's experience, and if less than fifty percent… the experience bar is directly emptied.

Fortunately, Liu Mang seems to have just leveled up not long ago.

So the loss isn't too great.

Moreover, Liu Mang has already obtained an orange material, an orange blueprint, and a purple blueprint upon entering.

That's also not bad.

"How did you get instakilled?"

Su Sheng asked curiously.

"****, I was careless; I went to the neighboring shop, saw a red light on the floor, and thought it was a legend."

"When I lifted the floor, damn, underneath was a furnace; the key is that the floor beneath my feet instantly collapsed, I fell down and melted right away."

"..."

"..."

"..."

In an instant, everyone fell silent.

I never expected that the mighty Bu Er Li Mang, one of the Ten Court Yanluo, would be so aggrievedly scalded to death.

"Hold on… damn, it really is red light; I didn't missee!"

Immediately after, Liu Mang posted a game screenshot in the guild channel.

It turned out to be a screenshot Liu Mang took just before he fell to his death.

Because it happened so suddenly, the moment he fell, that guy panicked, seeing only a sea of red lava, but he still managed to open the screenshot function in his panic.

All that could be seen was a huge furnace, inside which lay rolling lava… but right at the furnace's center, a long spear was conspicuously planted… somewhat like a cheat version of the Fang Tian Hua Ji.

A faint red glow twined around the spear.

"But how do we take it?"

Liu Mang felt a bit deflated, then sent this message.

Death notice:

You have suffered high-temperature lava damage.

-100000

You are dead.

One hundred thousand HP per second!

Anyone who goes down will surely die.

The furnace's radius is about twenty yards; going back and forth takes several seconds.

"No problem, I have a plan; send me the coordinates, I'll explore this side first, then later I'll go try."

Su Sheng, on the other hand, has some ideas.

A red weapon is definitely something you couldn't pass up.

Moreover, that spot should be a blacksmith shop, and there are other stores as well; there might be other gains.

"Let's continue exploring for now; I'll go check those coordinates later."

Su Sheng spoke up in the team channel.

There are still over five hours of exploration time; aside from the boss's loot, the only other gains are what that guy Liu Mang picked up.

We can't waste time…

"I've got monsters here…"

"Whoa, the level is high!"

"Fall back quickly, avoid combat, don't fight!" Su Ba spoke in the channel; that squad is the one led by Su Ba.

Immediately after, Su Ba threw a monster screenshot into the guild channel.

Demon Race patrol (elite monster)

Level: 68

HP:??

Attack:??

??

??

Tough to fight!

"A fully organized squad, roughly ten or so with archers, mages, shield guards…"

Su Ba then added another piece of information.

"Detour as much as possible."

Su Sheng replied.

"They're chasing us; we're trying to shake them off."

At the same time, there was also a monster screenshot.

Su Sheng frowned, opening the map.

The minimap was completely pitch black, only the coordinate markers visible.

"It seems this dungeon is indeed not for grinding monsters."

"The monster level is too high."

Demon Race patrol squad. Elite (Normal BOSS)

Level: 70

…

…

…

A screenshot…

A five-person squad, likewise fully equipped.

However, the build is larger than the monster in Su Ba's screenshot just now.

Purely, a squad entirely composed of Normal BOSS.

Feelings…

The War Demon Tree BOSS that just entered the dungeon is merely an entry trial.

"I picked up something!"

At this moment, one member spoke in the Team Channel, simultaneously sending out a screenshot.

Elf Quiver. Demon (Purple)

Attack: 200

Bonus: Agility+80

Bonus: Strength+80

Bonus: Demon Energy Contamination

Level: 60

Slot: Off-hand

Description: Brief

Demon Energy Contamination: Once an elf's quiver, it was infiltrated by demon energy; when used, one must divide attention to resist the demon energy contamination.
