Chen Yang was so happy that he could not shut his mouth when the hot-tempered Fire Spirit managed to deal 318 damage.
All of the equipment that was dropped by Scasa belonged to him and his GS increased drastically to 370. He was now 9 points away from Chu Tiange and surpassed Li Yi by more than 50 points…
Although it was easy playing a summoner class, people did not like to bring a summoner class along with them to a large-sized Instance Dungeon as their ATK was very low. It would be impossible for Chen Yang to be part of this party with his former trashy GS if he were not Li Yi’s friend.
Fatty was now glowing gold from head to toe and the Fire Spirit’s ATK which he had summoned had increased by 5 to 6 times. He was now promoted from the casual player to the main force.
Li Yi did not see such a surprise coming…
Although the second boss Scasa was nicknamed as the Summoner, the equipment that he dropped were from other classes.
The equipment which fetched the highest value was the Summoner’s Staff that was held by Scasa. The class that was eligible to equip it was Natural Summoners and it had an additional effect, which was an increase of 30% ATK towards fire based psychic beasts.
It was incredibly difficult for Fatty to not be strong since he had the Summoner’s Staff, Fire Spirit Necklace, and the entire Spirit Light Equipment Set which granted him an additional 30% ATK, +1 for all Fire Spirit’s skill, and +2 in all Natural skill set respectively.
Li Yi suggested Fatty fork out 3000 Gold Coins and share it among the entire party.
Fatty took out 5000 Gold Coins cheerfully and shared it with the entire party and everyone was happy about it.
While all of the party members were ecstatic, Chu Tiange was the only one frowning.
This was because Li Yi’s action was clear as day that he did not want to owe the Dark Empire in any way.
The team continued moving forward as they soon arrived at the territory of the Dwarf Priest Scamu.
Similar to his brother Scasa, Scamu was a boss that would provide a challenge towards the party’s DPS. Although Scamu’s ATK was average, his healing capability was overwhelming. Despite having only 300000+ HP, he would cast Holy Fire’s Healing and healed himself to full HP whenever his HP went down to about 10000.
The attempt to defeat Scamu was fairly easy. The party would just have to reserve their most powerful skills until the very end and unleash all of them at once when his HP was down to about 10000. They just had to defeat him before he was able to cast his skill.
If the DPS was not powerful enough, Scamu would be a boss that could not be defeated and he would be a piece of cake if the DPS was strong enough.
The most obvious benefit that Chen Yang’s upgraded equipment was that they were able to defeat Scamu in one attempt.
Fatty was arrogant. He placed his hand on his back as he watched the Fire Spirit attack for the entire duration. In the meantime, he had risen to the third rank in terms of DPS.
Li Yi was placed first while Chu Tienge came second.
There were zero casualties in this boss fight.
Another went up to the boss to loot the boss as one of the main tanks from either guild would do it enthusiastically, without any complaints. The main tank was quite blessed as he had obtained 4 gold, 3 green, and 1 miscellaneous item.
Li Yi continued distributing the equipment to the party. Although there was two Archer-class equipment, he did not take it for himself and decided to give it to Delicately Cute instead.
“Your skills are improving and you’re very team-oriented.”
Delicately Cute was stunned then and there as Li Yi praised him.
After he finished distributing the remaining equipment, the party moved forward and arrived in front of the Fire Beast.
The synergy among the party members had come to a tacit understanding as they had trained together for the past three times.
The Fire Behemoth boss did not require any main tanks as the main factor was the skills of the individuals. This boss was much easier than the previous bosses for the Dark Empire.
It was another success in one go!
Delicately Cute was over the moon as the remaining party members were feeling giddy while they cheered gleefully.
“Commander, it’s your turn to loot the boss.”
“That’s right. Open it.”
“Open it, commander!”
The party started cheering.
It was difficult for Li Yi to refuse such kindness from everyone as he rubbed his hands, walked forward and opened up the treasure box.

[Inferno Grass Essence x23]

[Broken Wood x19]
…
It was a chain of 10 miscellaneous items from the top to bottom…
Ding!
[Congratulations! You’ve obtained a Mysterious Treasure Map Fragment.]
A “ring” traveled into his ears as Li Yi’s face was bright red. A fragment of the treasure map had automatically entered his Backpack.
“Why is there a treasure map fragment in this area?”
Li Yi was shocked and surprised.
Collecting the treasure map fragment was a quest that he had accepted from the Archer Skill Mentor, Raoul. No one would receive this notification if they did not undertake this quest.
“Commander. You really have a trashy hand.”
It was only then when the entire party was convinced of Li Yi’s luck.
Li Yi spoke out, “Split the Gold Coins with everyone, Delicately Cute.”
Splitting the Gold Coins was compensation towards the people who did not obtain any equipment and it was also a sign that the Instance Dungeon had come to a close. If it were not for the fact that they were in the exploring phase and the party members were tight in their GS, the party would distribute the equipment at the very end of the Instance Dungeon. They would not have to distribute the loot every time after defeating the boss.
“Are we not going for the Molten Furnace?” Chu Tiange asked.
Li Yi responded, “That’s enough for today. We’ll fight again in three days.”
“Commander, why aren’t we playing any longer?”
“Yeah. We haven’t had enough fun yet. Why aren’t we continuing?”
Many people did not understand his reason.
“Do you have enough Fire Resistance Potions? Have you prepared Blessing Scrolls to dispel Fear?”
Delicately Cute did a quick check before responding, “I still have 5 sets of Fire Resistance Potions but I did not prepare any Blessing Scrolls to dispel Fear.”
“You’ll need at least 20 sets of Fire Resistance Potions and drink it every time it expires. We can’t continue fighting if we run out of them. Please prepare 100 Blessing Scrolls as well. Although the Molten Furnace has only 1 boss, we can’t win it by luck.”
The Molten Furnace was cleared for the very first time by the Star Fire Guild four months after the server had been opened. Li Yi was very clear about it as he had found out unintentionally when he was investigating the history of the Star Fire Guild.
The Fire Resistance Potion was a must and it would be better to have more auxiliary items as well. The situation would be very dire if they did not make the proper preparations.
Li Yi had made such a decision after witnessing the synergy of this party.
“What you guys should do next is to take up the two five-man Instance Dungeons, namely the Heart of the Fire Dungeon and the Burning Legion. Train yourselves hard and we might reduce the chances of being wiped out by a few times when we challenge the Molten Furnace.”
Li Yi immediately crumbled the Return Scroll and disappeared the moment he finished speaking.
“Guild Master. It’s a pity if we were to disband now. We’re all still extremely hyped about it.”
“It’s your call Guild Master. Just say the word.”
The Dark Empire members instigated Chu Tiange the moment Li Yi left.
“I’m going to leave first. Enjoy.” Chen Yang and Fire Ice left the scene as well.
“Alright. Let’s give it a shot.” The Dark Empire members cheered as Chu Tiange made his decision.
“The hell are you thinking, why did you leave?” Jiaojiao sent Li Yi a private message.
“We will be wiped out if we go and I don’t wish to have my experienced reduced.”
Jiaojiao was in disbelief, “How would you know if you don’t try?”
“Feel free to try and update me after you’ve done so.”
“Pfft! Ball-less coward.”
“Do you want to have a go?”
“Have a go at what?”
“Have a go at me who has no balls.”
“F*ck off!”
