Zhou Huai's heart skipped a beat as he watched the stone door slowly open.
What's going on?
A hidden dungeon?
He had cleared it so many tis before, but this door had always remained motionless.
Why did it open by itself this ti?
Zhou Huai's thoughts raced as he quickly analyzed the differences.
The biggest difference was that Gandalf had reached Rank 10.
His skill power was stronger, and his efficiency in clearing the map had greatly increased due to his attribute surge.
This ti, they completed the dungeon in just thirty minutes.
Could it be... that this was the key to opening the stone door?
To defeat the final BOSS within thirty minutes?
Zhou Huai pondered, unable to think of any other reason.
If that were truly the condition, it would be extrely demanding.
Even an elite team of Rank 20 players would need at least four or five hours to clear the Shadow Swamp Demon Cave on Calamity difficulty.
And those above Rank 30 would exceed the dungeon's Rank limit and be unable to enter.
What exactly was hidden behind this door?
With the thought of 'since I'm already here'.
Zhou Huai controlled Yasuo and Gandalf, one in front of the other, as they stepped into the deep darkness.
However, after only two steps inside.
Zhou Huai's brow furrowed sharply, and he imdiately stopped, quickly retreating.
The mont they stepped through the door.
Yasuo and Gandalf's health began to drop rapidly at a rate of one hundred points per second.
-100!
-100!
It was as if an invisible, potent poison perated the space behind the door.
As long as they stepped in, they would continuously take damage.
Yasuo and Gandalf currently only had over three thousand health points.
At this rate, they probably wouldn't last even half a minute before both would die.
Go out and find so healers?
Zhou Huai imdiately dismissed the idea.
Not to ntion whether he could find trustworthy healers.
What if the stone door, which had been so difficult to open, closed again if they left and re-entered the dungeon?
Moreover, at this rate of health loss, even if he found several healers, they probably wouldn't be able to keep up.
Zhou Huai was montarily in a difficult position.
Theoretically, the higher the danger of such a hidden map, the richer the rewards usually were.
Giving up just like that was truly unwilling.
After a brief mont of thought, Zhou Huai's gaze fell on Gandalf.
With a thought, he controlled Gandalf to raise his staff.
"Arcane Barrier!"
Buzz—!
A surge of arcane energy instantly erupted, forming a nearly solid, translucent shield composed of countless blue runes around Gandalf's body.
The shield's surface glowed, exuding an indestructible aura.
He wondered if this barrier shield could withstand the invisible poison damage?
Zhou Huai controlled Gandalf, who had activated his shield, and stepped into the stone door again.
-100!
-100!
The familiar damage numbers appeared again.
But this ti, what was deducted was no longer Gandalf's health, but the shield value of his Arcane Barrier!
Zhou Huai's heart filled with joy.
Gandalf's shield value was over sixty thousand points!
Even if the shield was depleted, the skill cooldown was only one minute, allowing it to be regenerated.
This was simply an unlimited 'free pass'!
Thinking of this, Zhou Huai imdiately made a decision.
Let Yasuo guard the entrance, just in case.
Gandalf would go in alone to investigate.
Gandalf strode forward, walking into the depths of the darkness.
The scene before him was an ancient stone staircase that spiraled continuously downwards.
As he delved deeper, the dusty torches on the rock walls on both sides ignited automatically without warning.
The flickering flas were an eerie, quiet blue color.
The light of the flas made the twisted and grotesque carvings on {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} the rock walls flicker, as if they could co alive at any mont.
A chilling wind howled up from deep underground, carrying a scent of decay.
All the way down, Zhou Huai did not see any traces of strange beasts.
The entire space was eerily silent.
After an unknown amount of ti, the spiraling staircase finally ca to an end.
The view below suddenly opened up.
What appeared before Gandalf was a corridor so long that it stretched out of sight.
The corridor was dilapidated, with various strange beast skeletons scattered on the ground, having been silent here for an unknown number of years.
Zhou Huai controlled Gandalf to continue forward.
Beneath his feet, a dark green gas began to spread like a light veil.
Gandalf's shield value, which had been deducting one hundred points per second, gradually increased to one hundred fifty points.
Then, not long after, the damage increased again.
-200!
-200!
Zhou Huai beca more and more alard as he walked, and seeing a section of his shield value drop, he quickly cast Arcane Barrier again to replenish the shield.
This poison damage was so fierce that any other tank class would probably not be able to withstand it.
The difficulty of this hidden map was sowhat terrifying.
Only a Forbidden Spell Mage with an abnormal shield could barely gain a foothold here.
Soon, Gandalf arrived at the end of the corridor.
There were even more strange beast skeletons here, densely packed, almost forming a small mountain.
Only a narrow passage could barely be seen between the bone mountains.
Zhou Huai was about to control Gandalf to continue forward.
The mont he stepped out of the corridor.
The shield value, which had been continuously deducting, suddenly stopped.
Zhou Huai breathed a sigh of relief.
It seed that this area should be free of poison damage.
He continued forward.
Suddenly, a loud 'rumbling' sound ca from behind him.
Zhou Huai looked back in surprise.
He saw that the exit of the corridor he had co from was slowly being sealed off by a huge gate.
His retreat was cut off.
At the sa ti, a 'crunching' sound ca from the bone mountain ahead.
Clusters of eerie green Soul flas suddenly lit up in countless scattered skull heads on the ground.
The scattered skeletons, as if pulled by invisible threads, began to quickly reassemble.
【Undead War Beast LV30 (Elite)】
【Health: 1000 / 1000】
【Skills: Bone Charge, Undead Bite】
【...】
It was as if so chanism had been triggered.
One, two, ten, a hundred...
More and more skeletal strange beasts appeared, resurrecting from the bone mountain and staggering to their feet.
Within re seconds, hundreds of Undead War Beasts surrounded Gandalf.
Zhou Huai, seeing this, was not surprised but rather pleased.
A Forbidden Spell Mage fears nothing more than a large number of enemies.
"Perfect timing."
Gandalf slowly raised the staff in his hand, and ancient incantations chanted from his lips.
"Forbidden Spell - teor Shower!"
Boom!
The space above his head seed to be torn apart by an invisible force!
A gigantic, blazing portal, engulfed in raging flas, materialized out of thin air!
Imdiately after, massive teorites, trailing long fiery tails, plumted from the portal with a roar, like an apocalyptic disaster!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earth trembled violently.
Each teorite impact triggered an earth-shattering explosion.
Violent fiery shockwaves swept wildly in all directions.
The recently resurrected Undead War Beasts, unable to even launch a decent attack, were smashed to pieces and reduced to ashes in the flas.
In an instant, countless strange beast skeletons were pulverized.
【Killed Undead War Beast LV30, gained 2000 experience points!】
【Killed Undead War Beast LV30, gained 2000 experience points!】
【...】
In Zhou Huai's mind, System notifications flooded like a waterfall.
【Ding! Congratulations, Host, Clone 'Gandalf' has leveled up to LV11!】
A brilliant golden light of advancent shot up from Gandalf's body.
Zhou Huai's eyes instantly lit up.
Oh my goodness.
This place was simply a Holy Land for leveling up!
