Chapter 38: Fallen Dragon Valley! Claiming All the Group Dungeon Experience for Himself!
Outside the dungeon, the mont Hell difficulty was selected, the dungeon entrance imdiately turned blood-red.
Xia Qing nearly felt the world go dark before her eyes.
“The dungeon entrance turned blood-red... He chose Hell difficulty?”
“Did Ye Ze select the wrong one?”
Having spent four years in university, Xia Qing naturally knew that a Group Dungeon was dozens of tis harder than a Novice Dungeon!
Hell difficulty in particular had never been cleared by any team to this day!
And the ones who had gone in with Ye Ze were not so elite team, but rely an Ordinary Class from a high school!
The two other War Academy teachers leading groups nearby were also badly startled.
The horoom teacher of Class One in particular, a white-haired old man with deep wrinkles all over his face, tremblingly removed his reading glasses and said in disbelief,
“I am almost retired. How did I end up running into sothing like this?”
Clearly, not everyone shared the sa feelings.
Zhao Xuan was stunned for a mont, then imdiately burst into laughter, nearly doubling over.
“Ha ha ha! Teacher Xia, I think you can already call for the bus back to the academy!”
“If they can last ten minutes, that would already an Ye Ze is defying the heavens!”
At that mont, a man bearing the title of “Group Dungeon Administrator” ca over.
“Who opened Hell difficulty? Dongwu City No. 1 High School?”
“Did they not reserve Calamity difficulty?”
There was a monitoring station beside the Group Dungeon. The administrator went in to verify it, and the result left him speechless.
“War Academy of Linyuan City? The Ordinary Class?”
“Even Dongwu No. 1 High School does not dare open Hell difficulty, yet they chose it...”
For an utterly unknown team to choose Hell difficulty, the gap in stature was almost inconceivable.
Moreover, opening a Hell-difficulty Group Dungeon consud a huge amount of Crystal Stones.
Since this was one of the free runs sponsored by the military, the expense would naturally be charged to the military...
“What a waste of Crystal Stones!”
...
Inside the dungeon, a flash of white light passed before everyone’s eyes, and the scene instantly changed.
At the sa ti, an introduction sounded in Ye Ze and the others’ ears:
“In this world, humanity and the Storm Dragon clan lived together in peace.”
“But later, the Abyss descended. Humanity resisted with all its might, yet could not overco the Fiends. At the mont of life and death, they hoped to join hands with the Storm Dragon clan and fight together.”
“But the Storm Dragon clan did not wish to oppose the Fiends. They believed that if they yielded a little, they would naturally win peace for their own people.”
“In two years, humanity received no aid and was destroyed by the Fiends.”
“Humanity has fallen. Can the Storm Dragons endure for long?”
“The iron hoofbeats of the Abyss will spare no inch of land across the myriad worlds.”
【Ding! You have entered the Hell-difficulty Group Dungeon: Fallen Dragon Valley!】
【Hell-difficulty clearance condition: Repel the Fiend army!】
【Note: All mbers of the Storm Dragon clan live in Dragon Valley. If successfully persuaded, they can serve as allies.】
【Countdown until the Fiends reach Dragon Valley: 9 hours 59 minutes...】
That was presumably the background of the Group Dungeon. As for where this story had originally taken place, there was no way of knowing for now.
While Ye Ze was still thinking, the other students imdiately exploded.
The three Ordinary Classes, nearly a hundred students in all, had no mood to listen to any story. More or less, every one of them was on the verge of collapse.
“Wait, what? Hell difficulty?”
“Brother Ye, you did not pick the wrong one, did you? At this difficulty, I would probably die in two seconds...”
“Farewell, Mother. Tonight, I am as good as dead!”
“...”
The dark, blood-colored sky of Hell difficulty alone felt oppressive enough to leave everyone struggling to breathe.
While the others were talking all at once, the Assassin boy Liu Qi suddenly stepped forward and shouted angrily, “What are you all panicking for!”
“Brother Ze must have his reasons for doing this!”
Beside him, Lin Ke, the Priest girl from the train earlier, also spoke up.
“Have you all forgotten that Ye Ze got the first clear of a Hell-Difficulty Dungeon? What would be so strange about him taking the first clear of a Group Dungeon too?”
After the beast tide incident, many of their classmates had co to trust Ye Ze deeply.
For a while, quite a few people were speaking up for Ye Ze and maintaining order.
Liu Qi edged over at that mont and asked tentatively, “Brother Ze, you do have a plan, right?”
The others could not help focusing their gazes on Ye Ze as well.
Ye Ze thought for a mont, then nodded. “I do.”
Liu Qi instantly looked invigorated... As expected of Brother Ze! He even had a plan for Hell difficulty!
At this point, even if Ye Ze told him to go die, he would not so much as furrow a brow.
The Priest girl Lin Ke also quietly moved closer, her face full of excitent.
“B-Brother Ye, then what do we do first?”
“The Fiends will arrive in a little over nine hours. Shouldn’t we first think about how to persuade the Storm Dragon clan?”
“I have read the guides. The Storm Dragon clan has three branches, and supposedly the ruling branch is easier to talk to...”
Ye Ze shook his head and cut her off.
“My plan is not that complicated...”
“Within nine hours, kill every Storm Dragon.”
“Then kill all the Fiends, and it will be over.”
Lin Ke, Liu Qi: ???
All the students: ???
And he called that a plan?
Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, Lin Ke stepped forward and tried to persuade him.
“Brother Ye, even if we have to deal with the Fiends, there is no need to go after the Storm Dragon clan too...”
“When the fate of the world was hanging by a thread, they still refused to fight and refused to stand together with humanity. What is the point of leaving a race like that alive?”
Ye Ze answered without hesitation.
If he did not kill them, he might even have to worry about those foolish dragons stabbing him in the back.
Although that answer made the students’ blood boil, the facts were still right in front of them.
Liu Qi could only say hesitantly, “Brother Ze, even if we died a hundred tis fighting the Storm Dragons, we would not be able to scratch them...”
If enemies in Hell difficulty could actually be hard by them, that would be the truly strange thing!
Ye Ze said calmly, “I chose the difficulty. You will not need to fight.”
Of course, if they did not fight, they would not get even the slightest bit of experience.
If things went that way, it would an that all the experience in the entire Group Dungeon would be taken by Ye Ze alone!
That was also why Ye Ze had taken the initiative to handle all the killing himself.
Yet everyone was still thrilled.
Because if they really could gain the clearance experience from Hell difficulty, it would be far better than risking their lives to clear Ordinary difficulty themselves!
“Then, Brother Ze, what should we do?”
“That’s right, Brother Ze. This is a Group Dungeon, after all. Let us contribute sothing too...”
Hearing Liu Qi and the others eagerly volunteering, Ye Ze fell silent for a mont...
A Group Dungeon required at least eighty people just to open. That already counted as their contribution.
That was what he thought to himself. Without saying more, he simply led everyone onward.
“Follow .”
At those words, the students ford several orderly rows with surprising tacit understanding and followed behind him.
Ye Ze arrived at the approach to Dragon Valley.
Dragon Valley was less a valley than the ancestral ho of the Storm Dragons. Much like a human settlent, even the mouth of the valley had guards standing watch.
When they saw Ye Ze and the others, two dragonkin over two ters tall stretched out their hands to block the way and said coldly, “Humans, keep your distance!”
“We Storm Dragons will never help you!”
At the sa ti, the dragonkin’s status panel beca visible to everyone:
【Storm Dragon Guard (lv.10)】
Type: Outstanding-grade elite monster
Attributes: Strength 130, Constitution 130, Agility 100, Spirit 80
Skills: Lightning Breath, Thunder Impact.
————
Right from the start, they were facing Outstanding-grade elite monsters!
Liu Qi, Lin Ke, and the others all went pale... Was this the level of strength found in a Hell-difficulty Group Dungeon?
Liu Qi, the highest-level one among them, did not even have a quarter of the enemy’s attributes!
If one of those skills hit them, there would probably be casualties all around.
Yet Ye Ze suddenly sighed with emotion.
“It has really been a long ti since I last ran into opponents this low-level.”
He did not say that quietly at all. The Storm Dragon guards opposite him heard it on the spot and flew into a rage.
“You, what do you a—”
Before the sentence was finished, a dark violet Void Slash instantly tore through both dragonkin’s necks!
Two dragon heads hit the ground with a thud.
At the sight, the students’ pupils trembled with shock!
Watching his experience bar rise by two small notches, Ye Ze did not pause for even a mont and continued forward.
Dragon Valley, since you do not dare face the Fiends, I will help you make sure that you never have to see them at all!
