Chapter 58: First Clear of the Dungeon, Another Red Equipment! Completely Shattered Defense?
With a startled cry, a giant spider, large enough to cover half the cavern, burst forth from the dense web above.
The moment the massive spider hit the ground, the purple translucent liquid on its body seemed to spring to life, instantly splashing in all directions!
[-1000]
"Holy crap, that hurts?" Zhao Deju, accidentally caught by the splash, watched his health bar instantly plummet, leaving him completely numb.
If it hit him one more time...
He’d be completely finished!
Right on cue, the boss's stat panel materialized before everyone's eyes.
[Nether Ghost Spider: Level 18]
[Grade: Boss]
[Health: 98,000]
[Attack: 1,050]
[Skills: Super Armor, Venom Splash, Giant Web Bind, Spider Spear Thrust]
These stats were countless times stronger than the Rock Behemoth, the overlord boss of the Novice Village.
Even an elite party of ten players, all between levels sixteen and seventeen, with each wearing at least one piece of purple-tier equipment, would face unknown odds trying to defeat the hell-grade boss before them.
"Such a monstrous beast!"
"I want you to help me—bah!"
"Die for lord!"
Su Nian waved the staff in his hand, and a dozen blue light balls quickly descended from the air, crashing directly onto the head of the Nether Ghost Spider.
[-256]
[-260]
[...]
[Talent not triggered, execute probability +0.01%, +0.01%, +0.01%......]
"Hiss?"
Seeing this, the Nether Ghost Spider was completely dumbfounded.
Wait... was the person in front of it even human?
His arms were moving so fast they were practically a blur!
No...
This kid was somewhat defying the heavens.
He absolutely could not be left alive!
[Spider Spear Thrust!]
The Nether Ghost Spider's razor-sharp spider spear stabbed straight toward Su Nian at a speed ordinary people could never react to in time.
With this spider's attack power, wouldn't a little ten-year-old brat like you just drop dead instantly?
[-1450]
[Health +257,661]
Nether Ghost Spider: ???
Rock Behemoth: Bro, did you feel my pain?
At this moment, within the Nether Ghost Spider's eight eyes, emotions of shock, despair, disbelief, and existential crisis unexpectedly emerged with human-like clarity...
***
Rock Behemoth: I know this part even better!
For a moment, the Nether Ghost Spider stood frozen in place, its arachnid brain completely blank, unsure of what it was supposed to do anymore...
Yet, watching the human before it
fanatically swinging that giant club in his hand,
continually violating its spider physique...
The Nether Ghost Spider decided it had to do something.
Even if it, old spider, died today!
It had to drag at least one person down with it!
Thinking of this, the Nether Ghost Spider's six eyes instantly locked onto... Su Yu, standing beside Su Nian.
[Spider Spear Thrust!]
"Hiss!"
Die for lord!
[-1450]
[Remaining Health: 4,292,900]
Nether Ghost Spider: ...
No wait...
Are humans these days all this strong?
Throwing around millions in health out of nowhere.
Swinging a dozen times a second like it's nothing?
Sob, sob, sob... how on earth is anyone supposed to fight this?
Are we just getting farmed like ordinary mobs?
"Hey look, why did that giant spider curl up and stop moving?" Yu Yurong pointed at the center of the arena, her cute face full of confusion.
Zhao Deju picked his nose. "What else could it be? Master broke its mental defense, obviously..."
Hou Xiaoyu: "You don't say!"
A moment later...
Su Nian stopped his basic attacks.
At the same time, a series of prompts appeared before his eyes.
[Talent successfully triggered!]
[The boss has dropped too many rewards, the system is calculating......]
[Congratulations to your party for achieving the server's unique achievement—First Dungeon Clear! The system will broadcast this to the entire server. Would you like to hide your ID?]
[Congratulations to your party for slaying the hell-grade dungeon—Nether Cave! The system will broadcast this to the entire server. Would you like to hide your ID?]
"No!" Su Nian rejected it flatly.
The next second, server-wide announcements popped up.
And when Zhao Deju, the others, and all the players in the Novice Village saw the system rewards, their jaws dropped in astonishment!
***
[Server Announcement: Congratulations to player 'Emperor' and their party for achieving the server-unique achievement—First Dungeon Clear!]
[Special Reward: Random Red-tier Equipment ×1, Dungeon Medal ×5, Contribution Points ×50,000, Gold Coins ×2,000, Free Attribute Points ×20.]
[The above rewards have been distributed to the team leader's inventory.]
***
[Server Announcement: Congratulations to players 'Emperor, Miss Nian, Hou Xiaoyu, Rong Rong Has Big, and Caribee Deju' for becoming the first party on the server to slay the boss—Nether Ghost Spider!]
[Special Reward per person: Reforging Stone ×1, Meteor Iron ×5, Free Attribute Points ×20, Blue-tier Equipment ×5.]
[Guild members who joined have additionally received: Contribution Points ×5,000.]
This time,
many people could no longer sit still!
"Holy crap, these people barely entered the major city, and the dungeon first clear is already gone?"
"Are they seriously hacking? I haven't even filled out my blue gear yet, and he already has two red items?"
"Reporting this to Geneva! It's unfair, why do they get carried by a whale?"
"Brothers, hurry up and head to the major city, or all the good stuff will be gone later!"
"Let's go, form a party to enter the major city!"
"+1"
"+1"
"Wait, aren't you guys hunting down Slaughter the World anymore?"
The world channel was extraordinarily lively.
Meanwhile, inside the dungeon...
[Boss drop rewards calculation complete. Congratulations on obtaining: Purple-tier Equipment ×1, Blue-tier Equipment ×14, D-grade Skill Book ×8, C-grade Skill Book ×4, B-grade Skill Book ×1, Meteor Iron ×3, Gold Coins ×1,000.]
Looking at the pile of items dropped before him, Su Nian nodded inwardly. The drop rate this time was quite decent.
He took out the purple equipment and the B-grade skill book to take a look, and couldn't help but freeze in surprise!
This skill...
Actually suited him perfectly!
"Who among you doesn't have a purple helmet yet?" Su Nian asked, looking at Zhao Deju and the other three walking toward him.
He remembered that Su Yu, Yu Yurong, and Deju all seemed to have one already.
Hearing this, when seeing the others make no move, Hou Xiaoyu raised his hand and said, "Big Boss, I don't have one yet..."
"Here, take it."
Handing the purple equipment to Hou Xiaoyu, Su Nian then retrieved five dungeon medals from his inventory.
[Dungeon Medal: Wearing it grants an additional 15% bonus damage inside dungeons. Each person can only wear one.]
Pretty decent,
just a little trinket.
"Here, one for each of you."
Yu Yurong was startled. "Whoa, these medals have such a high bonus? If the Big Boss sold them, wouldn't 100,000 coins each be completely reasonable?"
Hou Xiaoyu's mouth twitched into a slant. "Doesn't matter, I'll give the Big Boss 200,000 per piece!"
"There it is, reverse price gouging!"
Su Nian's mouth twitched as well. "Alright, next... let's see what this random red equipment turns out to be!"
Hearing this, the four of them filled with anticipation as well.
