“These potions can enhance our attributes?” asked Water. He remembered the time in the Cat Demon Lair. He could successfully block the hits from the Boss only because they had gotten the Ordering Flute that had enhanced his attributes greatly.

“Enhance attributes?” Lin Jie laughed. “If that were the case, the other people would not be stuck in this dungeon for so long. We won’t be using these potions. Let’s go, we are going to clear monsters first to raise our levels.”

After returning to the entrance of Castle Wood, this magnificent castle had become a building like a prison. Its iron bars had thorns, and the spacious hall inside was vaguely visible. A few ghouls were feeding on each other, fighting for a dry and thin arm.

“Everyone, get ready for a prolonged battle. We can only rest after a minimum of five hours.” Lin Jie paused for a moment and said again, “If the girls want to rest, tell me early.”

Netherblue shook her head. “No need.”

“Good, let’s go.” Lin Jie waved his arm, and everyone was enhanced by Qiu Yuan’s Dark Speech Shield, providing them with 5% damage reduction. Water lifted the shield he got from Cat Demon Lair and walked in the front cautiously.

Just as he stepped into the room, there was movement from the weeds and the staircase. Two ghouls jumped up greedily, their sharp claws that were filled with dark green venom scratched down.

“Bast*rd!” Water shouted and activated taunting. One of the ghouls immediately changed its attack target without thinking. He pushed out his shield and ruthlessly smashed off the other ghoul’s chin and jaw. The ghoul then fell down and could not continue attacking.

Lin Jie nodded with satisfaction as Water’s improvement was great.

The ghoul’s attack was not high, but their claws had three types of poison. Corrosive Toxin which could reduce the target’s defense continuously. Even Shield Specialists would be as fragile as paper tigers after stacking 3 layers of it, dying with just a touch. Deadly Toxin, which could reduce the target’s maximum Health Points continuously. This was the most powerful poison as the priests now could not cure that type of injury. Once the Deadly Toxin became effective for a few seconds, it would become a team wipe out tragedy.

The last type, which was also the most common and strongest type, was the Harmful Toxin. When triggered, it could cause 30 points of damage immediately and cause 10 points of additional damage per second for 12 seconds. It was allowed to be stacked for five times.

MTs’ Health Points were generally at about 350 points.

As low-level Poison-Antidote Potion was expensive, regardless of small teams or major guilds, they were very strict in demanding the MT. Unless they had more than two poisons or had gotten the Deadly Toxin, they were not allowed to drink Poison-Antidote Potions.

-34!

-26!

Water promptly readied himself in the defensive posture, blocking two attacks but a huge 30 points of damage appeared. The Harmful Toxin was activated!

“Drink Poison-Antidote Potion!” shouted Lin Jie as he stabbed his Broken Blade towards the ghoul’s back. He did not activate Blade Aura Executioner, or else he would not have enough mana to use. Even then, his damage was not to be looked down upon.

“Ah?” Water froze. “No I can’t, the potion is very expensive.”

“Drink!” said Lin Jie once again, “as long as you get poisoned, drink the potion. Your potions are covered by me.”

Netherblue also said, “Drink.”

Water clenched his teeth and grabbed a Poison-Antidote Potion. He kept the potion in his mouth for a long time before swallowing it. The potion would become effective once it entered the mouth, and it was slightly bitter. However, that thing was expensive! Water felt only in this way would the potion be used in a way that was at least worth its value.

Qiu Yuan’s Dark Speech did not cause high damage to Dark-type monsters, but the Undead creatures’ attributes were decreased by quite a lot under Lin Jie’s halo. This made her damage barely acceptable.

What’s worth mentioning was Netherblue. She had begun to explore combo skills in the skill column. One of the branch in Warrior, was the Berserker which was the typical example of violent output, using various skills to control their Health Points at a suitable and precise level. Then, they would go into berserk by attacking crazily, greatly reducing the Health Points of the monster!

Weapon Specialists were warriors focusing on skill-based activity. Their skills could be used to form a special effect of magnificent and powerful combos. Once the combo of a weapon specialist was formed, its power would be comparable to the mage’s Pyroblast that had no cooldown.

Heroic Strike, combo slash! Netherblue bit her lips tightly and stabbed into the back of the rotten ghoul with her greatsword, as though grinding meat with her combo attacks.

-35!

-36!

-50!

Huge green damage numbers popped out; that was combo damage!

“Big sis is so amazing!” said Qiu Yuan happily.

Netherblue smiled shyly. She had experimented for very long, and now that she had some results finally and gotten her teammates’ praise, she was secretly happy in her heart.

Zheng Ziliang, on the other hand, was controlling his attacks while looking. His attacks were just superficial. Since the level difference was too big, it was easy for him to attract aggro from the monster. If the monster OT, then it would be troublesome.

‘Army Obliteration!’

-68!

-75!

-73!

Two ghouls became blocks of meat and fell down.

“How… How can I afford to drink so much?” Water’s face was kind of twisted as he had drunk a total of six bottles of Poison-Antidote Potion! Just to kill two small monsters! At that rate, how much more would he use until they reached the first Boss?

Qiu Yuan chuckled. “Hehe… No problem, Fu Sheng is the Big Boss, continue farming the monsters without worry!”

Ghouls’ experience points were not bad, and everyone’s experience bar moved a little. However, normally, those small monsters would not drop anything valuable. They rested for a while and continued advancing.

That room had a total of over 20 ghouls. The hardest part was the ghouls’ toxin. How to most effectively use the Poison-Antidote Potions’ effects, was the question that every team would need to consider.

However, that was not a problem for Lin Jie since he was the biggest supplier in the market. Landowners that cultivated the land, no matter how bad the harvest was, it was unlikely that they could starve to death, right? Lin Jie was a “Large Landowner.”

By drinking the potion all the way non-stop, the stage that was difficult for other people was easy to pass for them. Lin Jie was in a good mood.

Netherblue also threw the handle after the blade and gave up worrying. ‘Anyway, I have already drunk hundreds of bottles from you, any more makes no difference. At worst, I’ll give you Qiu Yuan.’

Under her “Piercing Eyes,” Lin Jie’s little thoughts were already written all over his face…

After 3 hours of the five people’s extravagant squandering, they finally stood in front of the first BOSS. Rotten Antipathy, level 7 Silver-tiered Boss, Health Points 17000, Bandit-type monster, exceptionally high explosive power.

It was equivalent to Galru’s “recycling station.” Those faulty undeads that had failed in the creation process were thrown into its stomach. It could be regarded as recycling waste, constantly producing Antipathy monsters.

Water scratched his head in embarrassment. “Expert, I have tried tanking this Boss before, it killed me in one shot… maybe-maybe we would need you to tank the monster.”

Lin Jie blinked and smilingly said, “You can do it.”

“I-I…” He didn’t think that the expert bro in his mind would trust and encourage him so much. Water was suddenly so excited that he could not say anything.

“This Boss has 2 skills. Toxic Fog, the boss will randomly spread 1 to 3 toxins, 10 yard radius. The target will be poisoned once every 5 to 8 seconds.” Lin Jie tapped his finger. “This skill is easy to solve, just drink the Poison-Antidote Potion and endure through it.”

Everyone. “…”

It’s a bliss to be friends with a tycoon.

“The second skill, Assassination. Every time the Boss Health Points drop by 10%, it will randomly assassinate a target, 100% critical hit, the easiest way to lose members,” added Lin Jie, “if Innocent Killer dies, just let him die, no need to care about him. If cloth armored jobs are assassinated, Water aid them immediately.”

Zheng Ziliang rolled his eyes, but his hands were moving rhythmically.

“Here.” He pulled out a small round thing from his backpack.

Iron Grenade: Engineering product, stuns the enemies in 3×3 yards radius for 1.5 seconds. The cooldown time is 3 minutes and only takes effect for targets below level 8.

Lin Jie blinked his eyes. “There’s a change in strategy! Help Innocent Killer too when he is assassinated.”

Zheng Ziliang.”…”

The metal grenade was a goblin engineering product. Unlike ordinary products, its pit was not when using, but when it was being created. There was a possibility of it exploding when making the grenade! One could accidentally die of explosion if not careful. That was why Zheng Ziliang only started to create it after he was in the dungeon; less experience lost after death.

“Retch— Barf—”

The Antipathy Boss suddenly spit out a big mouthful of disgusting saliva and eyed the five players in front of it.

———

“Barf—”

Cigarette Butt placed his dual swords in position and rushed forward, tearing open Antipathy’s flesh. Flesh and blood flew everywhere, accompanied by a strange scream, Antipathy fell.

“It’s so disgusting.” Cigarette Butts always pressed forward with indomitable will when fighting, but now he was looking at the blood stains on his face with disgust and dismal. He took out the fresh water from the backpack that was used for recovery to clean his armor. The dark green venom could not be washed away by fresh water, but washing it a little, even if it was just to wash away the unpleasant smell would be good.

Shallow Smile stood at her original spot, lightly lifting her chin to signal her teammates to check the corpse for drops.

“What do you think boss went to do?” Cigarette Butt stood next to Shallow Smile, a handsome middle-aged man matched with the sexy royal sister. That was an eye-catching pair.

Shallow Smile gently moved her body to keep a distance away from Cigarette Butt. Her long hair that was slightly curled moved with her action, landing on her voluptuous chest, attracting the greedy eyes of the Cigarette Butt. She gently opened her rosy lips. “To level up.”

Cigarette Butt said laughingly, “Boss told you that?”

“He sent us a message, but who knows who you were flirting with at that time.” Shallow Smile’s tone was very calm, but it felt ironic in the ear of Cigarette Butt.

——

Antipathy Boss’ huge fat body appeared in an unimaginable speed behind the healing profession Holy Paladin, raising its sickle high up.

‘Assassination!’

“Run!” Water shouted loudly, raising his shield high up to protect her behind him, with a slam. A deep dent was formed by the stab of the sickle, and the durability dropped by half instantly.

By this time, the Antipathy boss disappeared again. It was actually on a continuous assassination that was rarely triggered.

Antipathy boss suddenly appeared behind Qiu Yuan. She was still unknowingly channeling the Kiss of the Dark when she suddenly felt a breath behind her. Her heart sank and immediately stopped channeling. She quickly ran towards an open space. She wanted to bring the Boss to a place that was the most suitable for everyone to attack before she died.

The Antipathy boss raised its sickle up high and stabbed towards the sexy back of Qiu Yuan.

Bang!

Suddenly a grenade was thrown from the side. In the midst of the roar, the Antipathy boss was stunned.

“The hero saves the damsel in distress, hehe,” said Zheng Ziliang as he laughed.

Hunter’s Forward Charge!

Lin Jie had a bottle of potion in his mouth, he drew a circle in the air with his left hand and a shield half the height of a person appeared on his wrist, hitting Antipathy’s body. The Broken Blade in his right hand continued to slash at the suture of Antipathy’s right arm. With a ripping sound, he chopped off its right arm that was holding the sickle!
