Chapter 17: Hidden Place
Mumu is lost, the barren land is very desolate, and the scenery around is almost the same. Mu Mu regretted a little, he shouldn't have gone to the barren land to explore so early, Mu Mu was only level 11, and the monsters in the barren land were all above level 25. Mu Mu's Psychic Revelation had no effect, and without Psychic Revelation, he wouldn't know what skills the wild monsters would have. Mu Mu decisively gave up the exploration plan, and he planned to return to Chang'an City.
There are two regular ways for players to return to the city, one is to use power-ups, and the other is to walk back. The way of the return journey has: the mage's teleportation spell, which can only be learned by high-level mages; On the return scroll, there is a small chance that the outfield monster will drop; The other is the return trip to Hearthstone, which is obtained by the player by completing the mission of the Heirloom God, and players with Hearthstone can set a city as a foothold, and after using Hearthstone, the character immediately returns to the foothold. Mu Mu didn't have a return prop, so he could only walk back. However, Mu Mu could no longer find his way back to the city.
Mu Mu was a little depressed, and he was able to die back, but fortunately, he didn't have anything of value on him. Mu Mu was about to find a monster to commit suicide when he suddenly noticed a cave next to the ruins in the distance. Mu Mu was a little curious, what does this cave do. He walked over to get inside and explore. Suddenly, a prompt came from the system: "You found a hidden map - the kobold cave, the kobold cave is a one-time dungeon, and it disappears after clearing the level." ”
System prompt: "One-time dungeon belongs to the timed challenge dungeon, the system will adjust the difficulty of the dungeon according to the number of players entering the dungeon, the player must kill the boss within the specified time, all the players are killed or the player does not kill the boss within the specified time, the challenge fails, each player can only challenge 3 times." ”
For Mu Mu, this quest is not something he can complete at his level. However, one-time hidden dungeons are hard to come by, and Mu Mu also learned that there is no punishment for players dying in the dungeon, and they will be resurrected at the door of the dungeon after death. Since there is no loss, Mu Mu will of course go to the dungeon.
System prompt: "Mu Mu enters the kobold cave, and the system is adjusting the difficulty of the dungeon according to the player's information." Because only one player enters the dungeon, and the player's level is lower than level 20, the level of the monsters in the dungeon is configured according to the lowest level of the map, and the system generates a 5-player dungeon - Kobold's Fury. ”
The system prompts: "You enter the Kobold's Wrath dungeon, you must kill the kobold leader Nasus within 6 hours".
After 2 minutes, Mu Mu was killed. Mu Mu originally planned to use the scrap wood skill to run directly to the kobold leader and try his luck, but after entering the dungeon, he entered the battle state, and his scrap wood skill failed. Mu Mu only lasted 2 minutes, but he got a lot of useful information, and there are 3 types of monsters in the dungeon:
- Kobold (level 20), the attributes are the same as the kobold killed by Mu Mu before;
- Kobold Half-Immortal (Level 20), 600 Health, 800 Mana, 100 Attack, 50 Physical Defense, 200 Magical Defense, can use two skills: Heavy Attack (Advanced), release a lightning bolt to attack the opponent, can cause 300 damage, and another 15 allows the target to deal an additional 50 damage, and cause a 2-second stunned state, consuming 50 mana; Heal (Advanced), which restores 200 health to allies and consumes 30 mana;
- Kobold Guardian (Elite, Level 21) Health 4000, Mana 1500, Attack 700, Physical Defense 400, Magic Defense 300, can use three skills: Vampire Aura (Expert), Passive Skill, within 10 meters of your own and teammates' melee output damage can recover the damage value caused by 20 HP; Command Aura (Expert), passive skill, increases the strength of nearby allies by 8 within 10 meters; Fatal Strike, Action Skill, 200 points of magic damage are added to the next physical attack after use, and another 20 puts the target into a disabled state for 6 seconds, and the character's attack speed and movement speed are reduced by 50% in the disabled state, and 80 mana points are consumed. Skill recovery time is 60 seconds.
The distribution of monsters in the dungeon is the same as what Mu Mu encountered before, but the trio is composed of two kobolds and one kobold half-immortal; The five-person group is composed of two kobolds, two kobolds and half immortals, and one kobold guard. The distance between each group of kobolds is 20 meters. As soon as one group of kobolds is alarmed, the other two groups immediately join the fight.
The attribute value of Wood Guard is very exciting. However, he still has 10 hours left on his mystic cooldown. At present, other players should not find this dungeon, so he decided to go offline and rest first, and recuperate enough to fight tomorrow.
As Mumu imagined, mind control also has an effect on elite monsters. Mu Mu entered the game very early the next day, and it took him a lot of time to control the elite monsters, and with the help of the elite monsters, the dungeon became Mu Mu's upgrade treasure land. Mu Mu only has to deal with elite monsters, which is more laborious. Other mobs only deal 1 force damage to the wards.
There are a total of 150 groups of kobolds on the first layer of the kobold's wrath dungeon, and it took Mu Mu an hour to kill these kobolds, and his level was upgraded to level 13, and at the same time, Mu Mu learned the vampire aura (primary), but the vampire effect of the primary level is only 5%. Mu Mu entered the second layer of the dungeon, and the second layer of the dungeon was full of kobolds in a group of five, a total of 120 groups, but these were all Mu Mu's experience, after killing the monsters of the second layer, Mu Mu learned the command aura (primary), and the primary can only increase the power of 2 hits.
The dungeon starts from the third layer, where kobolds and kobold demi-immortals become elite monsters, their attributes are doubled, and their skills become expert. Even so, elite monsters still can't deal effective damage to kobold guards with attribute bonuses, but the speed of killing monsters has slowed down significantly. Mu Mu entered the dungeon for about 5 hours, and he finally finished killing the third-layer kobold. The experience of the elite monsters is very rich, and Mu Mu's level happens to be raised to level 14. However, he failed to learn the third skill of kobold guarding. Because Mu Mu doesn't speak orc language, he can't learn kobold guard action skills. Through this incident, Mu Mu still has a deeper understanding of learning ability, and to learn active skills, he must master the language corresponding to the skill.
With less than 1 hour left before the quest failed, Mu Mu decided to enter the fourth level of the quest, the Leader's House, and he wanted to try to kill the Kobold Lord. However, before entering, he has to look for a special NPC.
New World has a special setting for one-time dungeons. Monsters in the dungeon don't drop anything except badges, the ordinary monster in the Kobold's Fury dungeon drops one badge, the elite monster drops two badges, and the guard-level monster drops three badges, Mu Mu gets a total of 3197 badges, as long as he finds an NPC in the dungeon, he can exchange the badge for items. He was eager to know what he could redeem.
Mu Mu quickly found this NPC, this NPC is at the door of the leader's house, and Mu Mu exchanged for the list of items. Mu Mu listed the following items, which can be divided into three categories:
The first category of items is potions: potions that provide health or mana, and 10 badges are exchanged for a bottle; In addition, there are also potions that temporarily increase character attributes or special effects, and 50 badges can be exchanged for a bottle.
The second category of items is equipment: the kobold set is provided, and the kobold set has a total of four pieces of equipment, which are helmets, clothes, pants, and shoes. All four pieces of equipment are level 20 blue equipment. The Kobold set effect is: Increases the value by 10. 200 badges for 1 piece of equipment.
The third category is special items, but there are only three items that can be redeemed:
The first item is the initial attribute conversion potion, item description: "After using the potion, the player can choose to increase the attribute value of an initial attribute by 1 point, and the system will randomly reduce the attribute value by 1 point from the other 3 initial attributes, if the initial attribute value of the reduction is only 1 point, the attribute value will not be reduced, and the player's initial total attribute value will be increased by 1 point." "999 badges can be exchanged for one, and the number of badges can be exchanged for 1.
The second item is the Skill Level Up Scroll (Expert Level), which can be exchanged for 1 badge from 1999 badges.
The third item is a skill book "Jump", a general skill book that can be learned for all classes. 2999 badges for one.
For Mu Mu, the initial attribute conversion potion is to add an initial attribute point, which must be exchanged, and he is going to use it to increase 1 point of intelligence, and the remaining badges are only enough to exchange for skill level improvement scrolls. Mu Mu still has one chance to challenge the dungeon, and he plans to exchange the badge he will get from the next dungeon for "Jump". After Mu Mu finished exchanging items, he entered the Chief's House.
Mu Mu entered the leader's house from the third floor of the dungeon, and as soon as he went out, it was a very narrow small passageway, about 20 meters long, and then there was an empty hall, the hall was a square structure, 60 meters long and 60 meters wide. Mu Mu is far away from the leader of the people, Nasus (level 22, leader), and Nasus stands at the other end of the hall, next to four kobold guards (level 21 elite).
After Mu Mu's Psychic Revelation is upgraded to a high level, he will be able to obtain more detailed information about the monsters. Attributes of Woody Chanesus: 40000 health, 15000 mana, 1000 attack, 600 physical defense, 500 magic defense, 33% damage reduction, health regeneration 10/second, mana regeneration 5/second. The skills that can be used are:
Devouring Souls (Master), passive skill, steals 25 points when attacking;
Soul Strike (Master), an active skill that can apply soul marks to multiple targets, as long as one of the marked targets is attacked, the other marked targets will receive 60, the duration is 15 seconds, the MP consumption is 200, and the skill recovery time is 30 seconds; Cast range: 10 meters
Blight (Master), an active skill that can age, reduces the attack target's speed and movement speed by 30 seconds for 30 seconds, consumes 200 MP, and has a skill recovery time of 30 seconds, which can be stacked up to 3 times; The cast range is 15 meters
Summons subordinates (boss skill), which can summon 12 kobolds to participate in battle every half minute;
Death Descends (Master), Nasus's stunt, all abilities are increased by 50%, absorbing 1 value from players within 20 meters per second to restore themselves, and additionally converting health into their own attack power. Duration: 1 minute. Consumes 500 MP and 5 minutes of skill recovery time.
Nasus is strong, but as a quest leader, he seems to be a little weaker. Mu Mu felt that this was influenced by himself, because he entered the dungeon alone, and the level was far below level 20, and the system should adjust the difficulty of the dungeon to the minimum. Even so, Mumu thought he couldn't kill Nasus.
