Chapter 525: Chapter 361 Utilizing Terrain Bugs is the Most......
Day six of the Meteor Shower limited-time event.
Tomorrow is the last day of the meteor shower in the outer world. Originally, this astronomical spectacle was supposed to end two days ago, but the astronomers suddenly said they made a mistake, and the meteor shower will continue for a while longer.
But it seems at most it’ll last until tomorrow.
So starting today, whether it’s capturing the Little Meteors or invasion activities, things will become more lively, or rather, invasion activities should be described as "rampant" to be more appropriate.
Other dungeons aside, Sain, Glory, and Giant Stone, as the centers of contention, are now quite chaotic scenes.
People gradually realize that the frequency of invading Sain is slightly higher than invading other dungeons; just staying in Sain and waiting will be more efficient than actively attacking.
This is the result of Gong Qiying’s major intervention.
So, this made Leon and his group devise a strategy of waiting for the enemy.
Everyone at the meeting brought adventurers with enough strength and potential to guard different areas of the Sain Dungeon, executing a massacre on the invaders.
The captains of the Fran Guard, Strategy Group, Skyrim, Hathaway, and other teams composed the first tier, while their team members, like Matilda, Tami, Maru, etc., formed the second tier, leading adventurers in various areas even without captains.
Captains all followed the waiting strategy, while others could try to invade actively when opportunities arose, ensuring at least five people were on the field to attract invaders.
Everyone brought their strongest equipment and showed their best state, arriving in their assigned area as soon as the dungeon opened at three in the morning.
[Invasion from XXX Dungeon!!!]
This reminder suddenly appeared before everyone.
Fran Fort.
"Are you kidding me, why do we end up in this stinky place again, I really don’t want to come here, this Sain Dungeon is so nauseating."
Dal opened his eyes and looked at the noisy invader in front of him, asking:
"Dragon Blood Warrior?"
The newcomer was tall and muscular, with faint scales developing on his limbs and eyes of dark green vertical pupils, a typical sign of Flying Dragons mixed for at least three generations. But honestly, such Flying Dragons are now hard to find.
Dragon Blood Warriors are those who bathe in dragon blood after killing a dragon. Dragon blood is toxic and intense exposure leads to immediate death, but those who can endure the dragon blood bath can obtain the power of a dragon... but honestly, how much power one gains depends on the strength of that dragon.
"Good eye, how could someone in this little dungeon know such things, yes, I am the renowned Dragon Slayer Muir."
Dal didn’t bother correcting him that the Sain Dungeon was now legitimately within the Royal City’s territory. He found it tedious to communicate with such arrogant individuals.
He gestured for the adventurers beside him to invade, while he drew his weapon to face the Dragon Blood Warrior, though this time it wasn’t the Fran Greatsword, but another forged with Wolf Blood Soul.
[Wolf Knight Greatsword]
"You smell unhuman."
The Dragon Blood Warrior also drew his weapon, sniffed, and asked: "Hey, are you a Beastman hybrid, why do you have a wolf scent?"
"Just assume I’ve bathed in Wolf Blood like you did with dragon blood to gain power."
He instantly charged at the Dragon Blood Warrior, slashing with one strike, which was firmly blocked by the opponent, and laughed: "Haha, Wolf Blood, interesting, is it the legendary Monster Fenrir’s blood?"
Dal shook his head.
The Dragon Blood Warrior instantly lost interest, and a slender tail suddenly grew from behind him, forcing Dal to retreat with a surprise attack, sneering:
"Not Fenrir, so what will you use to compare with my Dragon Blood? Bathing in ordinary beast blood also counts as ’bathing’?"
Before finishing his sentence, a flash of sword light made the Dragon Blood Warrior feel a chill behind him, and upon looking, half of his tail was gone.
His eyes widened suddenly, what kind of demonic speed is this?
Realizing the enemy’s formidable power, he dared not to underestimate anymore, but correcting his attitude now seemed a bit late.
Dal’s figure had vanished, looking around, he finally found...
Above him!
"I can’t pretend I didn’t hear your words."
Casas Underground Tomb.
Steeran watched as the adventurer from Glory Dungeon slowly appeared before her, and rang her Soul Summoning Bell, summoning a total of five [Bone Ash·Big Shield Soldiers] around her.
And her opponent wasn’t alone either; he had two magic statue minions by his side.
Not only that, the opponent was wearing the cheat given by Glory Dungeon—the Gladiator’s enchanted armor, which greatly enhanced physical attributes just by wearing it. Actively using it could attract the soul of Ancient Gladiators to possess oneself, an otherworld version of invoking a god, and those two minion statues also came with enchanted armor.
"Come, let’s fight!" Gladiator Gilles shouted: "Let me revive the warrior spirit long lost in the Warrior Country!"
Just looking at Steeran’s dragon and tiger-patterned bloody tattoos indicated she wasn’t an ordinary person, prompting the Gladiator to be very enthusiastic and even actively ordered his magic statues not to attack.
Then he watched the bone ash Big Shield Soldiers swarm forward while Steeran jogged off into the distance.
"Why are you running away!"
Just as the Gladiator bawled out his rage, Steeran spun around, knelt on one knee, and aimed her Big Bow at the sky, saying:
"I’m not running, just finding a better angle."
War Ash Arrow Rain + precious magic statue big arrows + Big Shield Soldiers to block enemies, it was a perfect combination of moves.
If it doesn’t work, then there’s this.
The hook claw at Steeran’s waist gleamed, showcasing the divine skill [Hound Step].
"This isn’t warrior spirit in the least!"
When a magic statue big arrow turned into raindrops formed by dozens of arrows under the effect of War Ash Arrow Rain, the Gladiator’s rage hit its peak.
"Warrior spirit is used during fair duels, but invasion isn’t fair at all."
She switched to another Long Bow, which had War Ash that allowed arrows to automatically track enemies, [Soul Shooting].
"As long as enemies can be eliminated during invasion, any method can be used."
This was advice from the item shop owner.
"Swish—" she shot the arrow.
Yilushier of the Cold Valley.
A giant stone magic statue appeared before Elsa, not unlike the size of Dorpo. It’s hard to believe it could also be considered an invader.
This is the secret weapon prepared by the Giant Stone Dungeon for their adventurers, a stone magic statue created by ancient magicians.
Adventurers can hide inside the statue and control it. Once worn, they become a magic statue even more terrifying than monsters, but the drawback is a stringent requirement on strength, so only adventurers with decent abilities can obtain this equipment.
However, the City Lord of the Giant Stone Dungeon set a hidden condition—the statue can only be active for three days, after which it will be damaged. No adventurer is aware of this.
After all, this equipment is distributed solely for the adventurers to compete for the Glory Stele ranking. If this thing were to stay permanently, the battle balance of their dungeon would be disrupted.
"I am Temude, currently ranked seventh. Are you Steeran?" the statue voiced out.
Elsa shook her head and drew her plain greatsword.
"No? That’s unfortunate. Sorry, I’m in a hurry and can’t engage with you slowly."
Temude controlled the statue, taking heavy strides toward Elsa, imposing, and said:
"Is my power still too weak that I couldn’t invade Steeran, the one ranked first..."
While speaking, he raised his arm, with a gigantic palm swatting at the young girl.
Elsa glanced up at him and said:
"I’m in a hurry too."
The next second, the statue’s arm crashed to the ground.
The encounter of these three is merely a microcosm of the vast Sain Dungeon. Wherever you look, you can see someone engaging in battle every few steps. Many would unwaveringly believe that this place is a battleground for a war.
Rankings change constantly every second, showing the intensive competition!
However, in the forest area, there is someone enjoying tranquility.
In a very narrow tree hole in the forest area, a bright red invader suddenly appeared, ready to wield a knife and search for prey.
Then he notices something awry.
"Wait, am I stuck!?"
He was extremely shocked because his entire body was wedged within the narrow tree hole, immobile below the neck!
Before he could find a way to escape, two adorable little fellows sprang up in front of him, the renowned monsters of Sain Dungeon.
[Curse Frog]
"Don’t come any closer!"
The pair of Curse Frogs sprayed old phlegm at the invader in unison, the next moment, black curse death thorns grew all over the invader, declaring his death.
"Great job, Little Left and Little Right."
A voice of praise came from outside the tree hole, and the Curse Frogs named Little Left and Little Right crawled out to claim credit from their master.
"Hold on, I haven’t caught a fish yet."
Roger sat before a stream basking in the sun, looking leisurely while the fishing rod remained stationary.
The female fire dragon Hathaway lay by his side, ready to lead everyone away if danger arises.
[Encountered the Giant Stone Dungeon...]
The invasion alert hadn’t finished appearing when Little Left and Little Right rushed into the tree hole, spraying wildly, and the invader’s screams echoed.
Roger, wearing only shorts and sunbathing, wiped his sunglasses and sighed:
"Ah, life is so beautiful."
The terrain he chose is perfect; surrounding hardened trees form a funnel-like shape, offering him a vast sky but little land, coincidentally with a stream flowing from the "bottom of the funnel."
This terrain ensures invaders will appear within the funnel, and over several days of calculations, Roger discovered a rule unnoticed by others—the position of invaders is related to the stance of the invaded.
After multiple tests, he eventually chose his current position; if someone invades him, the invaders...
Highly likely get stuck in the nearby tree hole.
This is probably the only special terrain in the dungeon, coincidentally discovered by him.
Gong Qiying recently discovered this classic bug in the Soulslike Game but unexpectedly replicated it unintentionally and did not fix it.
After all, now is the time to compete with other dungeons, leaving such a beneficial bug isn’t a bad thing, and fixing it can wait until this period is over.
Roger’s method wouldn’t work against mighty invaders because they could destroy the tree hole with their brute force.
But fortunately, those capable of escape are drawn away by Leon and the others, leaving Roger with rather ordinary opponents, thus allowing him to remain comfortably.
What’s the saying?
If you feel you’re carrying a heavy burden, someone must be ensuring you have peace.
And now Leon feels his peace is well provided.
Before him stood an invader in a giant stone magic statue even taller than Temude, whose controller harbors deep resentment towards him...
"Tepi."
Leon drew the Ring Knight Straight Sword, his mouth corners rising, ready to say something.
Tepi remained silent, his lowered voice emerging from the statue:
"Dad."
"Pfft! Cough cough cough..."
The single word made Leon nearly choke to death. He stared at Tepi, eyes filled with astonishment: You’re actually serious?
"A bet is a bet; I indeed never caught more monsters than you."
Tepi suddenly controlled the statue, leaping into the sky and crashing down like Mount Tai Pressing.
"Now it’s your turn to lose to me, dear son!"
Leon’s Ring Knight Straight Sword sparked, revealing a grim smile.
"Come on, dad!"
