“Dong—”
The Boss’ body fell, smashing a deep hole in the ground.
Within the sponge-like corpse, Lin Jie carried Qiu Yuan out.
“So disgusting!” Qiu Yuan pulled away the soft tentacles that were on her body and shuddered.
Lin Jie cleaned the equipment on his body. Gnar was a Mollusk, its corpse would turn into acid and enter one’s equipment, and it would even cause some effect on the equipment attributes. He hurriedly took out an Equipment Recovery Scroll and removed the darn acid as fast as possible.
Netherblue blinked her eyes and asked, “We’ve cleared it?”
“With me, a strong damage output here, it’s more difficult not to be able to clear it! Wahaha…” said Domestic Fat Cattle as he placed his hands on his hip and laughed heartily.
It’s true, if not for his Flame Meteorite at the end, they would need to at least spend three times the time to clear Gnar.
Water urged, “Release the announcement! Release the announcement!”
“What are you in a hurry for?” Lin Jie smiled, taking a look at Baili Changcheng and Wine God Brothers. He said, “I will release the announcement under the name of Savage Blade.”
The Wine God Brothers smiled and said, “Just release. We are the Brotherhood members anyways.”
Baili Changcheng nodded his head and joked, “If you want to change the name to Baili Cheering, I don’t mind either.”

They are rewarded with 200 War of Light points, 220,000 EXP, 2 gold coins, 100 Guild of Light reputation points and additional 2 free attributes points!
…
Lin Jie and Baili Changcheng instantly understood a certain something. From the announcement, they could easily see through the others’ identity.
Gnar had dropped 15 pieces of equipment in total, but this time he did not drop Dark Gold fragments. There was a total of eight Gold items, and within the eight, there were two that were especially conspicuous.
[Light Left Shield] (Gold)
Can be used by Shield Specialist.

Defense: 155-200
Health Points: +200
Endurance: +15

Additional effect: Light Dual Shield Set
[Light Right Shield] (Gold)
Can be used by Shield Specialist.

Defense: 60-100
Attack: 20-40
Strength: +8
Endurance: +8
Shield Strike level: +1
Additional effect: Increases aggro, your aggro skills’ effects are increased by 10%.
Additional effect: Light Dual Shield Set
The set effect was a level three Life Defense Shield, which could absorb 600 points of damage.
Every Shield Specialist imagined how awesome it would be if they could equip more shields… A Dual Shield Set was that type of miraculous equipment! The left shield was even thicker, whereas sharp blades were added to the edges of the right shield, allowing it to have a certain attacking ability.
This Set would definitely sell for an astonishing price!
“Gold Dual Shield Set.” Lin Jie threw the shield up into the air, and it landed back into his hand. Then, he said, “Mixed Breathless, Water, both of you are Shield Specialists, how to distribute?”
Water said dumbly, “Of course it must be given to Brother Breathless.”
Mixed Breathless shook his head and said seriously, “The value of this Set is very high, I suggest that we each take one shield…”
“Then is it still called a Set?” Qiu Yuan was quick-tongued and said, “Water that uncouth fellow did not treat you as an outsider at all, you who is a man is still so dilly dally. If it’s the best for you to take it, then take it.”
Zheng Ziliang went along and said, “You’re right. We men can’t be despised by those women.”
Mixed Breathless thought for a while and changed the Gold Shield he had and handed it onto Water’s hands. He then equipped the Light Dual Shield.
The originally thick and heavy Shield Specialist armor together with two shields now, made him look like an iron Behemoth, giving off a metallic aura.
All the other items needed to be distributed according to one’s needs. Lin Jie, Netherblue and Baili Changcheng were responsible for deciding who would be given the Gold Greaves. Although the Greaves Lin Jie had were Silver, it had the characteristics of an additional effect for increased movement speed, so he was too lazy to change it.
“Let’s go, continue on to the next Boss.” Everyone was full of motivation and energy, and thus they decided to continue clearing.
Lin Jie shouted, “Wait for a while, don’t rush. Sit here first.”
Everyone sat at their places, curious of the reason Lin Jie stopped them. In less than 20 seconds, Gnar’s corpse turned into water. Lin Jie hurriedly took out potion bottles and filled them with the water.
—’You have received [Sporeggars Fresh Drinking Water] x15.’
“What is that?”
“Fresh drinking water made by Sporeggars, it belongs to luxurious items, we can get quite a number of coins by bringing it back and selling it to nobles with special hobbies.”
He filled the bottle up with Water Element until it was almost full. Sporeggars Fresh Drinking Water’s creation method was to use elemental fire magic to burn Sporeggars and store their body fluids. Rumors said that it was beneficial to those old nobles with kidney deficiency.
No matter how the effects were, he could obtain coins using this item. The price of a bottle of Sporeggars Fresh Drinking Water was about 20 silver coins.
The third area was the Explosion Region.
Explosion Region spawned a total of three new monsters.
Small Elf, Health Points: 5,000 – 10,000, its explosion damage was around 1,000 points.
Mid Elf, Health Points: 10,000 – 50,000, its explosion damage was about 5.000.
Great Elf, Health Points: 100,000, its explosion damage was about 10,000.
The last Boss of the Explosion Region was a Light Ancient Tree, its Health Bar was 1,000,000. That Ancient Tree only knew one skill: Throwing elves! Throwing one elf would cause a 100 yards huge radius explosion which also caused the area to continuously burn for 15 seconds.
To deal with the Boss in the Explosive Region, the best way was to kill all the elves step by step. After clearing the whole region of elves, killing the Light Ancient Tree would just be a giveaway. Without elves for it to throw, the Boss would be unable to do anything as it did not even know basic attacks.
When Netherblue was reading the information from the official website, she could not help but take a few looks at Lin Jie. Then, she said word by word, “First clear the Small Elves, then kill the Boss at the end, the chances of clearing is 100%.”
Lin Jie coughed drily, and living up to everyone’s expectations, he said two words, “Too slow.”
“It’s a no-brainer that elves with the characteristics of explosion cannot be farmed in groups. As for killing them one by one…” Lin Jie pointed at the concentrated monsters at the Explosion Region, they were as crowded as the aunties doing grocery shopping at the market. “It’s going to take donkey years! So I suggest…”
Bu Yi softly reminded, “Fu Sheng, don’t be too shocking.”
Lin Jie gave an OK gesture and continued saying, “Bait all the monsters and gather them together to blow the Boss up.”
Bu Yi. “…”
Looking at the teammates with their mouths wide open that even eggs could be stuffed inside, Lin Jie nodded his head and said, “Looks like everyone has no opinions to my suggestion. Now, we will start planning the routes…”
“Fu Sheng…” said Netherblue, she was speechless.
“Don’t interrupt me.” Lin Jie did not even raise his head, which made Netherblue actually stomp her foot in a very lady-like way. She reluctantly listened to him.
“The elves will only explode when they die, the entire Explosion Region has about 100 Great Elves, 300 Mid Elves, and 1,000 Small Elves. We just have to control their Health Bar to be at the same amount, then just bomb the Boss in one shot.”
“Great Elves’ movement speed is the fastest. Star Kill, Childe, Camel, and I, will each lure 25 Great Elves, and then run in the five ring-shaped routes, meeting once every 120 seconds. Mid Elves will be lured by Qiu Yuan, Netherblue, Bu Yi, Baili and Wine God Brothers, each 50. We’ll depend on Mixed Breathless and Water to tank Small Elves. Ziliang, Night, both of you are responsible for containing, whichever place has problems. Only you two can be depended to compensate for it.”
Lin Jie was drawing the route map. There were so many drawn lines all over that it made one feel dizzy just by looking at it.
“Everyone remember your own routes,” shouted Lin Jie.
After three minutes.
“I think I’m done memorizing it,” said Star Kill as he stood up.
“Me too…”
“Prepared to start luring the monsters?”
Lin Jie shook his head and replied, “Come, everyone start running, we will have a test run in this small area.”
“Test run?” Everyone widened their eyes.
“Yes, come, start running! One two one, one two one… Qiu Yuan, how are you controlling your distance? Your elbow is touching Netherblue’s chest!”
“Sister Netherblue’s chest is too big, you can’t blame it on me!” said Qiu Yuan hatefully. “If it was Bu Yi, I would definitely not touch her.”
Bu Yi’s pretty face became red, and she said angrily, “Even if it was me, you would also touch.”
The many guys nearly had a nose bleed.
“One two one, one two one…” Lin Jie commanded everyone’s running route, “Don’t think that you look very stupid now, you will need to use it later!”
Everyone was filled with tears. “You also know that doing this looks darn stupid!!”
—————
“Eighteen Massacres, I am going to eat you up!” Devourer let out a low and deep scream. Its tongue rolled and Eighteen Massacres that did not have time to dodge was swallowed in one mouthful.
“Boss was eaten, give up! Retreat!” Cigarette Butt immediately commanded the team to retreat. After killing the first Boss, this team also returned to its normal line-up, with healers, tankers, and attackers.
However, they were stuck at the Devourer for a day already. Eighteen Massacres’ luck seemed to be used up after killing the first Boss. He had already been consecutively swallowed for over 20 times, but his attributes were the strongest in the team, causing the team to be wiped out every time.
In the end, everyone learned their lesson, and they would retreat once he was devoured.
Stained by the Devourer’s saliva, Eighteen Massacres was revived. He ate the loaf of bread in his hand with a gloomy face, his eyes were hazy.
Demon Robe smiled coldly. “Eighteen Massacres, Brotherhood has cleared the second Boss.”
“I know.” A shred of impatience could be heard in Eighteen Massacres’ voice.
“Boss sent a batch of Mages here…”
“I don’t use his people,” shouted Eighteen Massacres, “Demon Robe, either fight seriously or get the hell out of here!”
“Hehehe, that is not up to you.” Demon Robe clapped his hand, Cigarette Butt, Shallow Smile and others were directly kicked out. “Welcome the Mage Heavens’ brothers, please.”
At the same time, the major guilds which were the leading figures of the game could not resist anymore. As major guilds, they had their own dignity—the dungeon’s first clear was one of them!
Therefore, just today, due to the frightening dungeon progress by Brotherhood…
Angel Descent, Triumphant Midnight, Hunter’s Guild had collaborated!
