Chapter 20: The Red Devil's Lair
At the other end of the portal, as always, is a cave that has fallen into dead silence.
Lin Xiao was the last to come in.
There are a total of twelve people in the strategy team, except for Lin Xiao and another archer from the [Huichen] strategy group, the rest are C-level awakened people, and of course, Lu Shaoshao, a B-level alternative.
It stands to reason that such a powerful lineup is more than enough to raid a C-level dungeon, but after stepping into this darkness, the special intuition of the assassination department makes Lin Xiao have a vague sense of crisis in his heart.
Am I being too sensitive? He shook his head.
"How can it be so dark, and there aren't even a few glow-in-the-dark stones?"
Captain Wu Zhennan complained, unlike Lin Xiao, who was already an [Asura] at the moment, the darkness would bring great restrictions to their movements.
"Squirrel-"
A slight noise came from the depths of the cavern.
Lin Xiao took two steps forward and stood between Qi Mingyuan and Lu Shaoshao.
As a member of the team, he never forgets his work, whether he is willing to accept it or not.
This position is the center of the few people in the back row, and no matter who has a problem there, he can react immediately.
Lu Shaoshao leaned closer to him, it was not the first time she had participated in the dungeon raiders, but a girl's fear of the dark and unknown was innate.
In the faint light of the portal, a large swarm of bats flew by, landing on the rock wall above the team's heads.
"Whew—" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought I was going to fight when I just came in!"
The D-rank archer from the [Huichen] strategy group said with a smile, Lin Xiao remembered that he should be called Kuang Zhengyi.
As a newcomer who participated in the C-level dungeon raiders for the first time, he should be the most nervous among everyone.
But as soon as his words fell, several huge black shadows suddenly fell above his head.
With crimson eyes and sharp fangs, the people in the strategy group couldn't see clearly, but Lin Xiao could see it very clearly.
The originally small bat instantly grew larger and swooped towards everyone.
"Get down—"
With a hurried shout, Lin Xiao didn't care about saying more, a [Thrust] flashed to Kuang Zhengyi's side, and while pressing his head, the [Instant Kill] skill was activated, and the magic blessed Predator Fang, with a sword, split the giant bat into two pieces.
The sharp mouthparts were about to rub Kuang Zhengyi's neck, and then the stinking blood poured all over him, and everything that happened between the lightning and flint almost scared the young man stupid.
Lin Xiao didn't have time to comfort him, and took advantage of the gap between Qi Mingyuan and the two bats with fireballs, and rushed forward to turn them into experience, and the crisis was over.
Lu Shao Peony is the safest.
Bats are sensitive creatures that know how to pick relatively good prey.
Fortunately, this is just a dozen level monsters.
"Ahh
A scream was heard, and not far from them, someone from the melee team had been impaled in the shoulder.
Wu Zhennan hurriedly covered the mouth of this unlucky ghost, and before he could speak, Lu Shaoshao had already stepped forward, and his hands exuded a dark green brilliance and began to treat.
It stands to reason that it should be easy for all C-level vanguard squads to deal with more than ten levels of batmonsters, they are mainly melee and meat shields, with great strength, sufficient defense, and faster reflexes.
But what happened just now was so sudden, that the awakened who had just entered the dungeon didn't have time to prepare.
On the contrary, on the back row, except for Kuang Zhengyi, who was a little stunned, the others were unharmed, which made Wu Zhennan a little surprised.
He couldn't help but look at Lin Xiao, who was leaning against the wall and silent.
Is it because of him?
Lin Xiao felt the gaze, but she didn't have time to take care of it.
Eighteenth and ninth-level mobs are the main body of C-level dungeons, that is impossible, and from experience, C-level dungeons should be at least monsters above level 20.
Unusual, but not unfamiliar.
The scene that just happened was very similar to a dungeon that impressed him in his memory, most of which were dominated by giant bats, and he and his teammates wondered if they had entered the wrong dungeon at first.
Red Oni's Lair - One of the most difficult dungeons in Tier C.
Lin Xiao still remembers the first time he opened this dungeon, he died 18 times at level 17.
His thoughts were interrupted by the voice of a teammate.
"It's too dark, I can't see it clearly, Mingyuan, let this place light up."
After the treatment was completed, Wu Zhennan got up and looked at the cave and said to Qi Mingyuan.
Qi Mingyuan stretched out his hand and was about to use the Demon Dao, but was stopped by Lin Xiao.
"Captain, the reason why you said that there is not a single luminous stone here, could it be that the monsters here have a special sensitivity to light, or that the light may stimulate them, is it possible?"
Lin Xiao said this in a speculative tone.
But he knew in his heart that this was not speculation at all, but a conclusion.
In the entire dungeon, there are a few individuals with super combat power, the red ghosts, if the player does not use the lighting equipment, then they can spend a little more time, find them one by one, and kill them.
But once there is light, when they enter half the depth of the nest, they will immediately alarm all of them, and they will be attacked in groups.
If you don't have the right strategy, this dungeon is still quite difficult at the same level.
Wu Zhennan thought about it for a moment and nodded.
"It makes sense, but in such a dark environment, you can't use your hands and feet to fight."
He looked into the endless lair, and without the glimmer of the portal, he couldn't even see the way in the complete darkness.
"Don't worry, the little monster just now is not strong."
"Follow me, I'm an assassination, and darkness is more intimate to me than light."
is obviously a teammate, but in this way, coupled with Lin Xiao's deliberately suppressed hoarse voice, it really can't make people feel safe, especially here, it is even more gloomy and compassionate.
Wu Zhennan pondered for a while.
"Okay, Mr. Mu and I will take the lead, you will show the way, Xiaofeng, you go and take Mr. Mu's place."
One of the fighters on the melee team answered.
No one saw the corners of Lin Xiao's mouth hooked in the dark.
He wouldn't admit that he did it to make it easier to get a kill.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Lu Shaoshao also followed, walking behind him and Wu Zhennan step by step.
"It's not a boss fight, it's more convenient to heal if you're in the middle of the team, Captain, is that okay?"
Here's how she explained.
Wu Zhennan's strange eyes lingered on the two of them for a long time, and finally nodded reluctantly.
In fact, as Lin Xiao expected, in the next long journey, all the people he encountered were this giant bat monster with only a dozen levels.
As a sneak attack, this kind of monster can indeed come in handy, but after getting used to it, the team of [Huichen] is not too easy to deal with.
Lin Xiao could see that this was indeed a pretty good run-in team.
Everyone has a clear division of labor, and they have a very tacit understanding with each other, and they fight in an orderly manner, which is enough to handle in the C-level strategy team.
In less than an hour, the dungeon's progress was already halfway through.
Lin Xiao stopped.
"Take a break." He looked at Wu Zhennan and suggested.
The next step is to enter the territory of the Red Ghost, this level 28 elite is not at the same level as the bats of the previous battle, he hopes that the people of [Huichen] can be more prepared.
Wu Zhennan nodded, didn't say anything against it, and directly conveyed the password.
In Fang Cai's battle, he more truly realized Lin Xiao's strength.
Although it's just a mob of more than ten levels, even if it's an ordinary C-level attack rank, it's impossible to get it in seconds.
But he saw that the guy in front of him had always been a sword, clean and terrifying, and the faster he killed, the faster he was, and after killing him, he ran over to rob him.
The first time he saw Lin Xiao rushing over murderously, Wu Zhennan almost couldn't help but put up his shield.
Fortunately, before he could make a move, Lin Xiao appeared in front of the bat monster next to him and waved his hand to cut it in two.
Can I dodge such a quick attack......
He became more and more sure that Lin Xiao was the kind of person who was rumored to be - the assassination department was proficient in how to hide his aura, and it was not impossible to cheat the level determination of the ninth game.
But most of those people are murderous perverts!
At this moment, he really began to worry about the prospects of the squad.
Lin Xiao found an open space and sat on the side alone.
In the battle just now, hundreds of giant bats provided him with rich experience rewards, allowing him to upgrade to 2 levels in a row, which was already about to be level 12.
After allocating the attribute points obtained, he was recalling the information of the red ghost, but there was an unexpected extra bottle of water in front of him.
Lu Shaoshao walked over in the dark, gave him a bottle of water, and sat down beside him.
"Drink." Looking at Lin Xiao with a mask, Lu Shaoshao said kindly.
