Chapter 349: A preliminary exploration of the underground city(1/2)
Outside the entrance of the dungeon, as a large number of players were being kicked out on the verge of death, those who had been prepared to enter suddenly became timid. The difficulty of this dungeon really exceeded many people's expectations.
However, some people persisted after all.
At least hundreds of thousands of people entered the first batch. Even if nine out of ten were kicked out, there would still be tens of thousands of people left. These people are obviously the real elite!
So most players chose to wait and see, waiting for all the first batch of elite players to come out and listen to what they have to say before making a decision.
And everyone did not wait too long. After more than ten minutes, the first batch of expedition teams were finally kicked out due to timeout, and the forum instantly became active again.
Players of level 10 and above continue to show up and give their own opinions, and what they bring back is basically positive news.
First and most important: as long as you can survive in the dungeon, the income will never be low!
Let’s not mention the experience income, just talk about the material income. As soon as the first dungeon ended, someone immediately posted a photo of the equipment just synthesized in the blacksmith shop on the forum: a black iron-level sky breastplate.
Sky breastplate: A breastplate with an overall blue-white appearance. The synthetic formula is: one green magic crystal, three blue magic crystals, and 15 slug skins. Its attribute is to increase physical defense by 5 points.
For black iron-level equipment, this attribute can only be considered barely qualified, but after all, it is a set part. As more parts are collected, the value will continue to increase.
A complete black iron suit is no less powerful than a set of ordinary-level equipment of the same quantity.
More importantly, this player only used one copy to acquire such a piece of equipment!
According to this efficiency, it only takes a few days to collect a complete set of suits. For most players who have been in open beta for so long and still can’t even get six binding slots together, this is really a huge temptation!

Some of these elite players who have played the dungeon have reorganized their teams and invested in the dungeon again, and some have begun to try to write some strategies. However, due to incomplete information, most of the strategy content is relatively scattered, and there are obvious errors and omissions.
p>
It wasn’t until half an hour later that the first relatively formal strategy post was finally born.
"Auroville Strategy Group: First Floor of the Dungeon, Preliminary Exploration Report."
The poster of this post is the famous guide master ‘Blue Eyes White Dragon’, and the content is certainly much more reliable than those of ordinary players.
Everyone who couldn't wait hurriedly clicked to check it out.
"Note that the effective area of this strategy is limited to the west of the first level, or even the route I explored. See the picture."
Followed by a picture, the picture is a winding hand-drawn route map, which only indicates the monsters and items encountered on the route.
From the direction of the route, it can be clearly seen that the dungeon is indeed a maze. Going in many directions leads to dead ends. You can only go back and find a way out, so you get out of this twists and turns effect.

"In general, there are three things you need to pay attention to when entering the dungeon."
"First, the monsters on the first floor are mainly composed of slimes, disease slugs, mushroom men of different shapes, spore fungi, etc. Among them, except for the mushroom men, the other three are poisonous, so you must be careful before entering.
Be prepared with poison-resistant equipment and detoxification methods."
"In this regard, you can use the 'poison glands' obtained in the dungeon to exchange for antidote and poison resistance powder in the drug store. The antidote can instantly remove the toxins on the body, and the poison resistance powder can greatly increase the poison resistance within an hour.
, and at the same time, it can make players below level 10 immune to poisonous gas."
"Second, different methods need to be used to deal with different monsters. For example, slimes must be killed with long-range attacks. Otherwise, the toxin traps that erupt around the slimes when they die are enough to kill them within a few seconds.
Take away more than 5,000 life points of melee personnel. On the contrary, the mushroom man must be killed with physical attacks, because this kind of creature often appears in groups, has no vision and hearing, and is only sensitive to magic. Once used
If you attack with magic, it will instantly attract a large swarm of mushroom men to attack you."
"Finally, there is the spore fungus. This thing itself has no attack power. It is characterized by self-destruction when it encounters people. It will also produce a tracking toxin missile after death. Unless it can outrun the missile, it will almost certainly withstand 500 points.
poisonous injury."
"There is no good way to deal with this kind of thing. You can basically resist it forcefully. However, the advantage is that after death, this thing will steadily drop a poison gland, which can be picked up without spending physical energy. This is also the poison gland of the copy.
Primary sources."
"Third, the team mix must be reasonable. There must be melee and long-range, warriors and mages to deal with various situations. In addition, there must be a healer! Even if there are no dedicated healers, there must be multiple healers in the team.
Magic is used to sustain the battery. Otherwise, unless your team has an average strength of level 15 or above, you will inevitably be kicked out on the verge of death. It’s just a matter of how long you last..."
There is not a lot of content in the post, but it is all useful information.
Many people suddenly realized after reading it, no wonder they died so quickly before, but this dungeon requires so much attention. Not only do you need to prepare antidote items, but you also need to keep the team's professions in order.
Among the proportion of players, the most powerful melee players are those who use bows, crossbows, and guns, and then the mages. Among the mages, there are very few who can heal spells.
The overall proportion is not even one-tenth.
As soon as this post came out, the treatment staff immediately became popular.
"Looking for a professional treatment team, qualified candidates will be given a purple suit..."
"For a fee, I'm looking for a long-term therapeutic player with the team. The treatment is good..."
"Sirius Guild is recruiting healing professionals at a high price. There is no limit to the number. The more the better..."
……
On the forum team page, there were a large number of posts recruiting healers in an instant.
The value of treatment staff has soared, and many posts show people competing for a treatment, and even various biddings, just like at an auction.
As a well-known anchor, many people know that Lin Hai has a nun skin, which has an amazing amount of healing. He can also use various common auxiliary magics, and his level is quite high. It can be said that he is one of the auxiliary personnel that best meets the requirements of dungeons.

Within a few minutes after this post was posted, Lin Hai's backend received thousands of invitations to form a team, including invitations from various well-known forces and experts. In addition, colleagues from the business alliance also sent private messages wanting to join him.
Form a team.
However, Lin Hai chose to decline all these invitations, even those colleagues from the Business Alliance who he got along with day and night, and his reasons were very sufficient: "The city lord invited me!"
Just six words left everyone speechless: If it were other characters, some of the masters might still try to compete, but Captain Ghost, who dares to say that his team can be stronger than this boss?
Moreover, with this wave of favorable relations with the city lord, it will be easy to get a long-term stable position in the future. This kind of condition is something they cannot provide anyway, so everyone has to give up.
At this time, Mu You had already gathered his troops and arrived at the entrance of the dungeon.
In addition to Lin Hai, he also specially invited another member of the Business Alliance: Xia Chong Yubing.
When he entered the dungeon, spawning monsters was only one aspect. The most important thing was to advance the progress of the dungeon as quickly as possible. To do this, he needed to find the exit to the second floor as soon as possible.
The first thing Mu You thought of was Xia Chong Yubing's 'honesty coin'.
This coin allows her to walk on the 'most correct path' every step of the way. For a maze like a dungeon, the most correct place is either a place where high-value treasures are hidden, or there is only an exit. Mu You added
Prefer the latter.
Xia Chong Yubing suddenly received an invitation from the city lord, and was very surprised. After listening to Mu You's explanation, she was relieved. In addition, the other party promised to give her a long-term high-level position as reward, Xia Chong Yubing did not
Why did you hesitate to agree to this job?
[You formed a team with the red sickle girl, Qingya Shuxiang, Lin Haihai, and Xia Chong Yubing, and entered the first floor of the dungeon together.]
[You have lit up the soul lantern on the first floor of the dungeon. When entering the dungeon, you can choose to appear on any floor where the soul lantern has been lit.]
‘Qingya Shuxiang’ in the team is the name of the stand-in card that Xiaoya just activated.
Upon entering the dungeon, Mu You first tried to release dark teleportation.
As a result, a prompt pops up: [The dungeon is a special environment, and all space magic cannot be released.]
As expected, the teleportation array cannot be arranged...
Mu You was not too surprised, but all space magic is blocked here, which means that even spells such as teleportation and transposition cannot be used.
[Your team appears in front of a crystal mine. To your left is a cluster of green crystal mines. Do you want to mine it? 】
"Yes."
As soon as he entered, he encountered a cluster of gems, and Mu You tried mining them first.
[When you come to the crystal mine, the team's mobility is -1, mining is in progress, and it is expected to end in five minutes...]
[You obtained the Green Magic Crystal*2.]
[Green Magic Crystal: One of the most common low-level gems on the first floor of the dungeon. It has abundant magic power and good hardness, and can be used to make a variety of black iron-level sky suit components.]
[You saw that the spar clusters you excavated automatically retracted into the rock and disappeared. They will not reappear until they grow to a sufficient size.]
It seems that the ores in this dungeon are specially equipped with a resource protection mechanism. The gems on the surface will automatically retract after being mined to prevent greedy people from mining the roots and causing the lake to dry up.
Having said that, it takes five minutes to complete a collection, which is inefficient. A total of one copy only takes an hour.
So the text then asked whether to continue collecting the crystal ore next to it, and Muyou decisively chose no.
It's enough to understand the mechanism once. They are here to try speedrunning and they can't waste too much time on mining.
[Xia Chong Yubing: Next, take the middle road.]
The group of people continued to move forward, and when they encountered the next fork in the road, Xia Chong Yubing gave a prompt prompt.
As the captain, Mu You is responsible for controlling the team's direction of action. At this time, he chose the middle route and recorded the route on the paper at hand.
【You choose to continue going straight.】
[You saw three green jelly-like creatures blocking the front. After discovering you, they immediately squirmed towards you.]
[Acid Slime (level 11), attack power 15-17, defense power 35, health value: 4000 points, ability: acid spray, activates poison trap when death.]
To be continued...
