Chapter 18: I'll Take Over
[You have entered the 'Troll's Nest' dungeon.]
[Current difficulty: Nightmare.]
[Current team members: 5.]
[You have obtained a 'Return Scroll', which can be used in case of mortal danger.]
[Hint: The Return Scroll requires three seconds to activate. Any attack or control during this time will interrupt it.]
...
After the slight dizziness caused by spatial teleportation subsided, Wang Chen found that the group had appeared in a jungle filled with a humid, decaying atmosphere.
"So this is the Troll's Nest..."
"And it's the Nightmare difficulty!"
Ran Nian Nian's delicate face showed a hint of seriousness.
Jia Wenxuan and Liu Ruofu's expressions were also very serious.
During cultural classes at the combat high school,
the teachers not only introduced the historical background and legacy evolution after the world's cataclysm
but also introduced major dungeons and formidable monsters within them.
The Troll's Nest before them, a five-star silver dungeon, was one of the higher difficulty wild dungeons recorded in Dongyun City.
"The main issue isn't just the high difficulty of the dungeon, but we also have a useless burden."
Jia Wenxuan hadn't forgotten to mock Wang Chen at this moment.
Liu Ruofu frowned and said, "Jia Wenxuan, since we've already formed a team to tackle the dungeon, we are comrades fighting side by side for this period. Stop mocking our teammate!"
Jia Wenxuan, reprimanded by his gentle goddess, didn't get angry. Instead, he looked at Liu Ruofu with a gentle expression and said affectionately, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
Ran Nian Nian, standing aside, couldn't help but roll her eyes, feeling goosebumps rise.
Wang Chen began to observe the surroundings.
Ignoring Jia Wenxuan's demeanor, Liu Ruofu said softly,
"Let's go. Although it's the Troll's Nest, our team configuration is still good. Mainly, our levels aren't low, so we might have an attribute advantage."
The group then proceeded along the jungle path.
After walking for about 200 meters, they heard urgent footsteps ahead, indicating something was running towards them.
Everyone picked up their weapons and got into battle stances.
Clang!
When Wang Chen pulled out his heavy 'Wolf King great sword' and thrust it into the ground, the noise caused Liu Ruofu and the others to be slightly taken aback.
"A great sword!?"
A great sword is typically a weapon for the warrior class, isn't it?
Wang Chen could handle even a great sword?
However, there was no time for further thought.
Because ahead, shadows emerged accompanied by terrifying roars, and trolls standing over two meters tall charged at them, swinging massive wooden clubs!
This wave of monsters consisted of at least twenty trolls.
Their bodies were covered with pustules and sores due to the humid and decaying environment. Huge tusks jutted out of their mouths, and their disgusting, sticky saliva sprayed everywhere as they roared.
Wang Chen used a detection skill, instantly displaying the trolls' information clearly.
[Monster: Troll Warrior.]
[Level: 23.]
[Level Cap: 30.]
[Race: Troll.]
[Skills: Charge, Stomp, Throw.]
[Rank: Grunt.]
[Strength: 120.]
[Intelligence: 50.]
[Constitution: 150.]
[Agility: 100.]
[Note: Ordinary trolls living in the jungle, proficient in throwing.]
...
Over twenty Troll Warriors!
It was clear that...
Although these troll soldiers were of a similar level to ghost wolves, their attributes were much higher!
The reason...
Naturally, the monsters in dungeon instances are stronger than those in the wild!
The danger level in dungeon instances is much higher than in the wild.
Each year, more job changers die in dungeon instances than in the wild by several times!
Of course...
This is data from Dongyun City.
In lower-level wild areas and low-level dungeon instances, dungeon monsters are stronger.
But at higher levels, it's different for both wild areas and dungeon instances.
The details will be discussed later.
Right now.
With over twenty Troll Warriors swarming in, the expressions of Wang Chen's team became extremely serious.
Jia Wenxuan roared, and as the light flared up, a powerful flame sword aura enveloped his body!
And this flame sword aura had a magical essence.
As expected!
It's a hidden class of a swordsman!
Magic Swordsman!
A Magic Swordsman who could utilize various magical elements!
Jia Wenxuan was currently using fire magic elements.
After unleashing his class skills, Jia Wenxuan's aura soared.
Moreover...
Liu Ruofu also raised her staff at this moment, quickly chanting spells.
Buzz!
One by one, lights fell on Jia Wenxuan and Ran Nian Nian.
'Weapon Blessing!'
'Courage Blessing!'
'Angel's Guardian!'
...
With these buffs successfully applied, the magical fluctuations on Jia Wenxuan and Ran Nian Nian's bodies became even more intense!
They felt their attack and defense capabilities significantly enhanced, giving them the courage to fight these ferocious monsters!
"Argh!"
With Jia Wenxuan's sword swing and Ran Nian Nian's fireball spell, two trolls were killed instantly, falling to the ground with a thud!
The remaining trolls hesitated, their fierce charge halted by the powerful display, and they looked at the four humans warily.
Well...
As for why Liu Ruofu didn't buff Wang Chen, it was because, based on her understanding, Beastmasters weren't good at direct combat, and their fighting style relied on their pets.
In other words...
If she wanted to buff Wang Chen, she would have to buff his pet.
But the key issue was that his pet was just a Little Azure Python.
And he hadn't summoned it yet.
What could she do?
She couldn't waste mana buffing the Beastmaster, right?
"Hmph! I said it, Wang Chen, you're just here to leech experience!"
Jia Wenxuan, now confident after slaying the trolls, couldn't help but mock his rival who had overshadowed him for three years.
To this,
Wang Chen chuckled and said calmly, "Honestly, watching your fighting style makes me shake my head..."
"Hmm?"
His words not only surprised Jia Wenxuan but also made Ran Nian Nian widen her eyes, her face showing anger.
"If you think our fighting style is wrong, come, show us how it's done!" Jia Wenxuan sneered, gesturing for Wang Chen to demonstrate.
"Fine, I'll do it!" Wang Chen laughed heartily, pulled up his great sword with a clang, and charged heroically at the trolls!
