Chapter 97

At this moment, the ice ball that Cheng Yang shot out was no different from before, but its offensive power was far more formidable than when he had just become an Ice Mage. Although the iron-armored beast at the mid-first stage had astonishing defense and ample health points, under Cheng Yang's ice ball attack, its health points instantly dropped by a large amount.

Cheng Yang's attack was like pouring a bowl of water into a pot of oil; the entire hall instantly exploded. The iron-armored beasts that were wandering around inside the hall immediately woke up and turned their heads to look at where Cheng Yang and the others were standing.

"Hisss..." A sound like a group of snakes hissing echoed in the sinister hall, making people's scalps tingle. At the same time, these iron-armored beasts began to crawl toward Cheng Yang and the others, but their appearance did not have much of a deterrent effect.

Meanwhile, the arrow shot by Yu Kai accurately hit the mid-first stage demonized beast, instantly reducing its remaining health to zero, causing it to fall to the ground.

Liu Xiyue did not launch an attack but focused intently on Cheng Yang and the others, ready to use the Healing Light as soon as their health points dropped. Although her skills were powerful, it was clearly not the right time to use them, especially with others around.

A few minutes later, the battle ended. On the ground, apart from the corpses of dozens of iron-armored beasts and a piece of black iron-grade leather armor, there was nothing else.

Cheng Yang picked up the leather armor. Among the five people present, the one with the poorest equipment was still wearing black iron-grade leather armor, so this piece of equipment was naturally not useful to them.

At this moment, they noticed a dark, downward staircase that had appeared in the corner of the hall on the east side, extending downward.

"Let's go down," Cheng Yang said very straightforwardly.

In the hall on the second floor, the scene that Cheng Yang and the others saw was the same as on the first floor, and they quickly cleared it out. This time, a black iron-grade ring dropped, which was a decent item, and Liu Chengen took it. Although Huang Mu looked envious, he was a summoner, who belonged to the magic attack category, and the ring increased physical attack power.

Cheng Yang and the others thought that the third floor would be the last floor of this dungeon, but when they got down, they found that they were wrong. They still did not see the final boss.

After a massacre, Cheng Yang and the others each gained about ten points of spirit energy and obtained the third piece of equipment for entering the dungeon. This time, it was a leather cap, which, although also black iron-grade, was not useful to anyone and was again thrown into Cheng Yang's storage ring.

After passing through this floor of the dungeon, a downward passage indeed appeared in the corner.

Cheng Yang and the others looked at each other and then silently walked down.

When they got to this floor, they found that it was different from the previous floors. It was no longer a prison but looked like a resting room, with tables, chairs, and even a bed. If there were blankets on the bed, it would be completely suitable for sleeping.

This place was, after all, an abandoned prison, so there were no blankets. However, on the sturdy wooden bed, a huge demonized beast was lying on its back, which was an enlarged version of the iron-armored beasts they had encountered earlier.

"Sure enough, it's here," Cheng Yang said. Seeing this creature, he knew it was the final boss. Without any hesitation, he threw an ice ball at it and quickly said to Yu Kai, "The rest is up to you."

Actually, Cheng Yang's simplest strategy was to directly use the freezing spell to seal this creature, and with his and Yu Kai's attack power, they could finish it off in two rounds.

However, his purpose this time was to let Yu Kai get familiar with this dungeon, especially the final boss. If he did not let Yu Kai experience the creature's abilities, it would be a waste of this opportunity. If he could finish it off in two rounds with his attack power, the creature would not reveal any special abilities, and if it were suddenly attacked next time, it would be dangerous.

Before Cheng Yang finished speaking, the iron-armored beast leader, which had been attacked, flipped over and jumped off the wooden bed, charging at Cheng Yang with red eyes, clearly knowing that Cheng Yang had attacked it.

Yu Kai would not miss such an opportunity and immediately shot an arrow, hitting the iron-armored beast's forehead.

This arrow caused the iron-armored beast at least 20 points of damage. With the iron-armored beast's health points, it should still have about 70 to 80 points left. It completely ignored Yu Kai's attack and continued to charge at Cheng Yang.

Cheng Yang naturally would not take the hit and instantly ordered Liu Xiyue and the others to retreat to the upper floor through the passage. At the same time, he quickly retreated along the wall to avoid the iron-armored beast leader's pursuit.

Yu Kai was extremely frustrated. Was this iron-armored beast leader too bullying? He was a big, living person, and it actually ignored him!

This could not be tolerated. Yu Kai immediately drew his bow and shot two arrows in succession. Finally, he gained the iron-armored beast leader's attention, and the creature, with blood-red eyes, charged at Yu Kai.

Yu Kai's lips curled into a cold smile. Noticing him now, wasn't it too late? He immediately shot an arrow, hitting the creature's eye.

However, under the rules, this arrow did not blind the creature. After causing some damage, the arrow fell to the ground.

"One more arrow!" Yu Kai muttered, seeing the iron-armored beast leader still about ten meters away. The creature's speed was indeed too slow; if it were another mid-first stage demonized beast, it would have already reached him.

The iron-armored beast's eyes were filled with madness, as if it did not know that it was on the brink of death, and it continued to charge at Yu Kai.

"Die!" When the iron-armored beast leader was about three meters away from Yu Kai, he suddenly shot an arrow, thinking it would be a fatal shot.

The iron-armored beast suddenly let out a howl. When the arrow hit its body, it made a metallic clanging sound and fell to the ground powerless. The iron-armored beast leader did not fall as Yu Kai expected but, instead, bounced up and lunged at Yu Kai's chest.

Yu Kai clearly did not expect this and was momentarily stunned.

In that split second, the iron-armored beast leader collided with Yu Kai's chest, and the massive impact sent Yu Kai flying, instantly dropping more than ten health points.

Cheng Yang was momentarily startled but quickly calmed down. Although Yu Kai's health points were not high, he still had 100 points. The iron-armored beast would not be able to kill him in one or two hits. This would serve as a lesson for him, so he would not make the same mistake in a real life-or-death battle.

After falling to the ground, Yu Kai immediately got up, ignoring the blood at the corner of his mouth, and immediately drew his wooden bow and shot an arrow.

At this moment, the iron-armored beast was charging again, and the arrow accurately hit its chest. The creature let out a miserable howl, as if all its strength had been instantly drained, and it fell to the ground, never to rise again.

"Finally, I've finished you off," Yu Kai said.

Cheng Yang said, "You need to be more careful next time. How could you be dazed at such a critical moment? The attacks of these demonized beasts currently do not have special effects, but if you encounter a beast with a cutting or piercing effect in the future, that attack just now could have cost you your life."

Yu Kai chuckled and said, "Isn't Lord here? It won't happen again. That skill of the beast just now seemed to make it immune to attacks, but fortunately, it didn't last long, or it would have been hard to deal with."

Cheng Yang said, "This is just a normal difficulty dungeon. In higher difficulty dungeons, this iron-armored beast might be even more powerful. ... Well, we've cleared this dungeon. Let's see what good things we get."

Saying this, Cheng Yang began to look around and found an item behind the wooden bed where the iron-armored beast leader had been lying. He immediately went over and picked it up.

Without a doubt, this was the reward for the first successful run of the dungeon.

It was a stone. If Cheng Yang had not seen such stones before, he would have thought it was a discarded item. But now, he did not think it was a discarded item; instead, he considered it a treasure.

Statue Enhancement Stone (Warrior): Enhances one attribute of a warrior statue (including upgrade attributes and job change slots). After enhancement, the attribute is doubled.

Sure enough, it was this item, and Cheng Yang's joy increased. The benefits of this item were obvious. The last time it was used on a priest statue, it directly increased the job change slots from 20 to 40. This time, the statue enhancement stone was for a warrior statue, which would increase the number of warriors from 530 to 1060. This was very powerful.

Some might think that the statue enhancement stone was indeed powerful, but considering that it was the reward for the first successful run of the dungeon in the entire world, it would not seem so powerful. It was a unique item in the world, and if its attributes were not powerful enough, it would not be attractive.

At this moment, Yu Kai had already picked up the equipment dropped by the iron-armored beast leader, which was a black iron-grade wooden bow, and Cheng Yang put it into his storage ring.

Seeing the item disappear from Cheng Yang's hand, Yu Kai could not help but envy and said, "Lord, when will we have a storage ring like this? This thing is essential for home and travel, and even for robbery."

Cheng Yang smiled and said, "When you have accumulated 10,000 points of spirit energy, you can buy one."

Yu Kai immediately looked dejected and said, "When will that be?"

Cheng Yang said, "Don't worry, it will be soon. With your current strength, you can earn spirit energy points very quickly, and it won't take long to accumulate enough."

Yu Kai still had little confidence. He knew that as his level increased, the spirit energy points he needed to consume for daily practice would also increase. When he would accumulate enough spirit energy points was hard to say.
