Chapter 10 Entering the Game Dungeon, Twisted Jungle
Alan logged in again.
This time, Alan didn't go to the level 10 monster area but headed towards the cliff behind the beginner's village.
In the newbie village, besides the regular monsters, there was a hidden game dungeon.
The rewards for being the first to clear this hidden dungeon were very generous.
He hurried over there.
There were no monsters, and since it was a cliff, naturally, no players would come here.
In the previous life, it was only a week after the game launched that someone accidentally discovered this dungeon.
The condition to unlock this dungeon was quite simple.
You just had to kill a treant here.
There were many big trees around.
And among these trees, one of them was a treant.
At first glance, if you didn't pay attention, you wouldn't notice it at all.
"Found you."
[Disguised Treant (Normal): Level 10.]
[HP: 2100/2100.]
[Attack: 32.]
[Skill: Disguise.]
A fragile monster. Alan raised his hand to attack.
Even without targeting its weak points, it only took three arrows to kill the disguised treant.
[You have killed the Disguised Treant, EXP +43.]
[Because you have killed the hidden monster in the newbie village, the secret game dungeon "Twisted Jungle" is about to open.]
[You are the first player to unlock the dungeon. A server-wide announcement will be made. Do you want to hide your name?]
"No," Alan replied.
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Ice King for successfully unlocking the hidden game dungeon "Twisted Jungle" in the newbie village, being the first player on the server to unlock a dungeon. Special rewards: +10 free attribute points, +10 gold coins, +1 black iron equipment. Keep up the good work, everyone.]
[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Ice King for successfully unlocking the hidden game dungeon "Twisted Jungle" in the newbie village, being the first player on the server to unlock a dungeon. Special rewards: +10 free attribute points, +10 gold coins, +1 black iron equipment. Keep up the good work, everyone.]
With the server-wide announcement, the Twisted Jungle dungeon appeared in all newbie villages.
Alan allocated all ten free attribute points to attack speed.
Then he looked at the rewarded black iron weapon.
[Longbow from the Forest: Black Iron.]
[Requirements: None, Archer class.]
[Effect 1: Attack +65.]
[Effect 2: HP +500.]
[Effect 3: Lifesteal +2%.]
[Durability: 100.]
Alan felt helpless. Another useless weapon.
'Attack speed, attack speed, attack speed!'
'Can't I get a weapon that boosts attack speed?'
'What bad luck!'
While Alan was checking the attributes, the players were all shocked, especially those who had already left the beginner's village.
They immediately regretted it.
"There's a dungeon in the newbie village? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have left there for anything."
"Good thing I leveled up slowly. I can go grind the dungeon now."
"The first one to clear the dungeon would have high rewards. Anyone want to team up? Dream Pursuit Guild is recruiting strong tank players."
Alan had already arrived at the dungeon entrance.
Ragnarok's dungeon difficulties were divided into four levels: Easy, Hard, Nightmare, and Hell.
The higher the difficulty of the level 10 Twisted Jungle to first clear, the greater the rewards.
"Let's go with Hell level."
[Warning: Hell-level dungeon is not recommended for solo play. Do you want to proceed?]
"Proceed!"
The difficulty of the Hell-level dungeon was indeed very great, but Alan was not afraid.
The greater the danger, the more abundant the rewards!
His current attributes didn't actually allow him to solo a Hell-level dungeon.
But Alan had top-tier skills from his previous life.
As soon as he entered the dungeon, Alan saw a large number of Twisted Treants ahead.
[Twisted Treant (Elite): Level 10.]
[HP: 8500.]
[Attack: 129.]
[Skills: Resurgence, Vine Spin, Thorn Bind.]
Although they were both elite-level Twisted Treants, these attributes were much higher than the elite treants Alan had encountered before.
An arrow was shot.
Critical hit!
[-1812.]
At the same time, Lightning Leap was activated, dealing damage to the surrounding Twisted Treants.
[-362!]
[-362!]
Alan's damage output was very high. With every arrow being a critical hit, it only took five arrows to kill a treant.
Moreover, since Lightning Leap had been upgraded to two stars, the damage, range, and number of targets hit by the lightning had increased.
[You have killed an elite-level Twisted Treant, EXP +351.]
Killing a higher-level monster, plus it being a dungeon monster, yielded quite a lot of experience points.
Alan maintained a safe distance from the Twisted Treants using the range increase from his normal attacks, ensuring they couldn't hit him.
Especially the Thorn Bind skill, which would have the most significant impact on him if it hit.
[You have leveled up to 8, free attribute points +5.]
Leveling up, he allocated all points to attack speed again.
At the same time, he cleared the first stage of the dungeon.
Passing through the light gate ahead, Alan arrived at the second stage of the dungeon.
As soon as he entered, dozens of Twisted Treants started moving towards him.
Not only that, but Alan also saw ten Treefolk Chieftains here.
[Treefolk Chieftain (Elite): Level 10.]
[HP: 35280.]
[Attack: 412.]
[Skills: Thorn Bind, Resurgence, Vine Spin, Frenzied Whip.]
They had an additional skill, and their attributes were much higher than the elite-level Twisted Treants.
Alan continued with his straightforward attacks, ceaselessly kiting these treants.
He tried to stay out of their Thorn Bind attack range as much as possible.
For this, he had to thank the average attack range increase skill, which allowed his regular attacks to reach farther, giving him enough room to kite the treants.
However, his low movement speed was a significant problem.
Three Treefolk Chieftains simultaneously used Thorn Bind on Alan.
[-823.]
[-821.]
[-823.]
Huge damage numbers appeared, and Alan was immobilized.
Alan realized something wrong, and sure enough, the attacks kept coming.
[-123.]
[-421.]
[-423.]
Damage numbers kept appearing, and before Alan could break free from the control, another Thorn Bind hit him.
In just two seconds, Alan lost over thirteen thousand HP.
The only fortunate thing was that the Twisted Treants weren't very intelligent, and their skill usage was quite random.
Additionally, the Twisted Treants in the back were too far away to hit Alan.
Otherwise, he would have been completely immobilized by their chained controls.
'Not having a control-breaking skill is really tough.'
'And my movement speed is too low.'
Alan thought to himself, immediately moving to create distance as soon as the control ended.
At the same time, an arrow interrupted a Treefolk Chieftain who was casting a spell.
Alan let out a sigh of relief; that was a close call.
Even with a slight mistake, he could have died there.
Losing a level was a minor issue, but if someone else got the first clear of the dungeon, he would really regret it.
Alan was now highly focused. Previously, he was more concerned with dealing damage, but now he had to dodge skills.
He also had to interrupt the Treefolk Chieftains' skills, which required him to keep an eye on multiple directions simultaneously.
