Chapter 811: Clearance

Game time is up.

Su Sheng and Shen Yang can only log off helplessly.

In the remaining roughly one hour of game time, Su Sheng and Shen Yang grunted as they attacked the Demon Energy Well.

But the Demon Energy Well, with over forty million durability, lost less than four million!

This thing inherently has a certain defense and resistance, and regular attacks don't provide extra damage to structures.

Most infuriating is that the area near the Demon Energy Well directly suppresses attributes by fifty percent.

After Su Sheng and Shen Yang fought for four or five minutes, the Priest buff on them hadn't expired.

A regular Priest buff lasts only about five to ten minutes.

Thus in team battles, the Priest has to refresh the buff from time to time.

But now the Priest has already logged out, no one can refresh the buff, and with attributes reduced by fifty percent, Su Sheng and Shen Yang can only grit their teeth and keep grinding here.

Given this situation, even if nothing else changes, they would have to keep grinding here for nine more hours… assuming four million durability per hour.

As for the others, they have already received the news in the Guild Channel and aren't idly waiting outside; they each went off to their own tasks.

The Dungeon is certainly cleared, just waiting for Su Sheng and Shen Yang to take down the Demon Energy Well.

This time's crisis should be fine.

But that elf hunter, Dalian, is still waiting outside the Dungeon.

"A Sheng, regarding how to dispel the Demon Energy effect over the Xuan Wu and Bai Hu Main Cities, do you have any method?"

Lin Huan tilted his head, his long hair hanging damply.

Su Sheng held a hair dryer, blowing Lin Huan's hair.

Su Sheng shook his head at the words: "What method could I have? That Taoist guy asked me long ago."

"At present, over there they can only spend each day rushing to clear those Demon Race units, which indeed wastes a lot of time and effort."

"And with a seven percent attribute deficit, some people have already gone to our Zhuque Main City and Qing Long Main City to farm monsters."

Lin Huan said.

A seven percent attribute deficit isn't huge, but farming monsters for level‑ups generally yields richer experience when killing higher‑level monsters.

Even a one percent attribute gap when killing higher‑level monsters makes a difference, let alone seven percent.

Secondly, their constant clearing of those Demon Race special units indeed wastes a lot of time.

In fact, the experience rewards from Demon Race special units are very generous, far richer than ordinary wild monsters.

But they have to locate them, and the travel and searching time takes a lot, nowhere near the ease of farming at a Training Spot; overall the yield is still worse than at a Training Spot, the gap is far from negligible.

"After finishing this Dungeon tomorrow, I'll slip over there and wander around."

Su Sheng changed position, adjusting the hair dryer's angle.

Tomorrow still requires nine hours of grinding.

Su Sheng felt mentally exhausted just thinking about it; luckily there's still Shen Yang. If Su Sheng were alone… under the Demon Energy suppression, it would probably take two days just to destroy that Demon Energy Well.

Moreover, the environment where the Demon Energy Well sits is pretty bleak; the oppressive setting makes a lone person feel depressed after a while… although Su Sheng's mental resilience handles it, having another person would make it a bit easier, right?

Su Sheng and Lin Huan chatted idly for a while, then got ready to go to work.

College, as always, brimming with youthful vigor.

Watching the college students come and go, Su Sheng feels like he's still young… twenty‑five… still okay, haha.

But lately, "Zhu Lu" has been gaining more and more hype.

Even many places and entertainment venues have all partnered with Teng Long Company to host offline tournaments.

Of course, up to now almost all offline tournaments use blank accounts, similar to the Teng Long Company official tournament mode during the previous New Year.

So far Teng Long Company hasn't granted any party permission to export "Zhu Lu" game data.

And the topics these college students discuss most are basically all related to Zhu Lu.

It's sweeping the globe.

Even without New Energy issues, Zhu Lu would probably still sweep the world; it's just that without official support it might not run smoothly.

Since those college students are discussing game content, the hottest topic now is the Demon Tribe Invasion expansion.

Naturally, they can't avoid topics like Yan Huang… Mo Wen and Qian Chen.

Honestly, each time he hears those students passing by, discussing their related stuff, Su Sheng was initially a bit unaccustomed.

But over time he got used to it; after all, "Zhu Lu" has been live for over half a year.

There's nothing else happening all day.

He safely finishes work, then goes home to play the game.

Nothing to say.

Today's game task is to "gua sha" together with Shen Yang.

But as soon as he logs in, the first thing he sees is a Private Chat from Chen Guan.

It's still about Shi Bo Cheng.

Yesterday it was just the Demon Energy‑shrouded ruins of Shi Bo Cheng.

Today, many demonic beast monsters can already be seen wandering around the Shi Bo Cheng ruins.

But A San hasn't come to check.

Probably those A San Players are still waiting to rebuild Shi Bo Cheng.

Meanwhile, Shen Yang logged in right after.

The two exchanged a glance, saying nothing.

Nothing to say.

Just keep your head down and work hard!

Time passed bit by bit.

In the entire Magic Cave Dungeon, only the sounds of Su Sheng and Shen Yang attacking the Demon Energy Well remained.

Besides, the lion-like beast beside them was also stretching its claws and attacking vigorously.

The lion-like beast's damage is also not low; we can't let it slack off.

As for Shen Yang, he has no pet.

Shen Yang wanted to find a pet that could also turn invisible and sneak.

However, such a pet is not easy to find.

Currently, in the whole 'Chasing the Deer', aside from the Hunter profession, other players' pets are basically just mascots.

Huffing and puffing....

More than eight hours passed.

The durability of the Demon Energy Well was finally almost depleted.

"Really not easy, Chairman."

Shen Yang complained.

Su Sheng nodded, indeed...

Boring attacks went on for eight or nine hours.

Various skills were flung mindlessly.

Whoosh~

Finally, as Su Sheng flung his last skill, the durability of the Demon Energy Well was finally emptied.

Then this huge Demon Energy Well directly collapsed.

Boom—rumble~

Ding~

Congratulations to the player for clearing the dungeon 'Initial Magic Cave'.

Reward: Experience +1....

Swish~

Golden light flashed twice!

Su Sheng and Shen Yang leveled up simultaneously!

Level up!

The reward experience was a string of zeros; Su Sheng was too lazy to count.

After consuming over ninety percent of that Demon Spirit boss's experience, Su Sheng's own experience was already at forty percent of level 63.

This directly leveled up again! Level reached 64! Experience is around sixty percent.

Su Sheng couldn't help but laugh.

These few hours of hard work were not in vain!
