Chapter 67

Bolunia, this is the name of a dungeon, but it is also the name of a human city that has existed for 150 years. 150 years ago, Bolunia was completely destroyed in a great disaster, almost flattened and uninhabitable. The descendants did not rebuild the city because when people discovered it, the ruins of the city had already been occupied by another creature, the Flame Lizardmen.

The Flame Lizardmen used Bolunia as their base, constantly reproducing and expanding their range. Not only could humans not rebuild their homes, but they were also under greater threat. Therefore, the king dispatched an army led by Count Devarian to garrison at the front line of Bolunia to resist the expansion of the Flame Lizardmen.

Li Huailin and Hongyue's meeting point was set at this human outpost, where most of the dungeon quests could be received. The main city also had quests that guided players to this location.

The outpost was not very large, but the security was very strict, more like a military base. However, to welcome players to help the NPCs in battle, the outpost had publicly accessible pharmacies and blacksmith shops to facilitate player resupply.

The meeting place was set in front of the main camp, which was Count Devarian's tent. Players could enter, but they could not see the count; they could only receive dungeon quests from the deputy, Maunt.

"Do you really have the confidence for the Abyss level?" Hongyue asked Li Huailin seriously.

"How could I have the confidence? I haven't even entered this dungeon before," Li Huailin shrugged. "You said that the regular dungeon is no pressure to tank, and with my strong output, we have a good chance of passing."

"Hmm..." Hongyue nodded. "That makes sense. Indeed, the Bolunia dungeon is mainly about fire-attribute attacks. The regular dungeon's monsters are no pressure for me. We only wiped a few times this morning because we didn't know the boss's skills. Overall, it was relatively easy to pass. But the Abyss level..."

"What was the configuration of your team this morning?" Li Huailin asked.

"Regular team, MT is me, a rogue for melee output, a hunter for ranged output, a mage for spell output, and a priest for healing," Hongyue said.

"This time, you, me, and Yan Yu, we have both physical and spell output. You call two more healers to support you, I think we can pass," Li Huailin suddenly suggested.

"Hmm?" Hongyue's eyes lit up. Indeed, she knew Li Huailin's output capability, and he could easily match the output of a hunter and a rogue. With another healer, she felt she wouldn't die easily. This way, it seemed very possible to pass.

But after a moment's thought, Hongyue felt it was still not right: "No, although your output can match two people, the hate cannot be split. It means all the hate from two people will be on you, and I can't hold the boss."

"I won't use Heroic Strike throughout the fight and will control my output," Li Huailin said. "Even if I pull aggro, I think I can tank for a long time. Just pull the boss back, and it won't be a problem. Don't treat me as a regular melee output; I can tank the entire dungeon's monsters while outputting to the boss." Li Huailin explained.

"Hmm, that makes sense," Hongyue nodded. She suddenly felt like this was a double insurance. If she couldn't hold the boss, Li Huailin could help, and the output was also secured. She suddenly felt that the Abyss dungeon was not out of reach.

"What do you think of my proposal?" Li Huailin asked.

"It seems very reasonable... What do you think?" Hongyue said, looking at Hongchen Yan Yu and Hongyan He Shui, as they were all going to be part of the dungeon team. She wanted to hear their opinions to avoid any discomfort if they failed, and she preferred a democratic approach.

"This guy rarely says something so reliable, it makes a lot of sense," Hongchen Yan Yu nodded. "President, I think it's very possible to pass. Although you are only level 17 and the monsters are level 20, you have 110 fire resistance, and we have a few bottles of fire protection potions. We also have plenty of health potions and two priests to heal you. I think you can tank through it."

"Brother-in-law is right!" Hongyan He Shui, as always, supported Li Huailin.

"Since you both agree, let's give it a try," Hongyue decided. "Okay, we'll directly advance to the Abyss level dungeon. I'll call another priest, just wait a moment."

Speaking of the Red Women's Army guild, the distribution of professions was extremely unbalanced. Among the 49 members (a few more were added recently), there were only 2 rogues, 3 warriors, 6 hunters, 2 knights, 10 mages, 1 warlock, and the remaining 20 or so were all priests. If they formed a 40-person raid, the leader would definitely be overwhelmed by the astonishing output.

Having many priests also had its advantages. It was much easier to find a priest when needed. Hongyue looked at the guild members and found that more than half were not online. Those who were online were level 12 or 13 priests, which were too low in level. Suddenly, she noticed that the level 15 priest, Hong Fei Cuwu, was online and immediately initiated a remote conversation.

"Hey, big sister, what's up?"

Hong Fei Cuwu asked.

"We're going to the Abyss level dungeon, and we only have one priest. Will you come?" Hongyue asked.

"Abyss level dungeon?" Hong Fei Cuwu gasped. "Big sister, are you kidding? Not to mention whether our guild can handle it, but I'm only level 15. How can I handle it? Isn't Shui online? I saw her online."

"Shui is also here, we need two priests to heal," Hongyue said. "Don't worry, we have Brother Niu to help. I think we can handle it."

Hongyue was afraid that Hong Fei Cuwu would be scared off by the Abyss level dungeon, as everyone fears dying repeatedly during a new raid. She quickly mentioned Brother Niu to reassure her.

"What? Brother Niu?" Hong Fei Cuwu's voice changed. "Brother Niu is leading our guild's team again. Okay, President, where are you? I'll be there right away!"

"Hehe," Hongyue chuckled. The name "Brother Niu" was a surefire way to reassure people. "We're gathering at the Bolunia outpost. We're just waiting for you. Come quickly, you should know the way, right?"

"Sure, I know the place. I've done quests there before," Hong Fei Cuwu nodded. "Wait a moment, I'll be there right away."

"Huailin, the second team's priests are not online. I called a more skilled player, but she's only level 15. Is that okay?" Hongyue said to Li Huailin after ending the remote conversation.

"I don't know. I don't know the difference between a level 15 and a level 17 priest," Li Huailin replied.

"The difference between a level 15 and a level 17 priest is mainly in healing output, mana, and health. They have the same number of skills. The difference isn't significant, but a lower level makes it easier to miss attacks. However, for a non-attacking priest, it's not a big issue," Hongyue explained.

"Then it's fine," Li Huailin nodded.

"Alright, while we wait for her, you all take the dungeon quests. Check your equipment to see if anything needs repair. I'll give each of you a bottle of初级 fire resistance potion. Although Yan can make it now, we don't have a steady supply of materials, so it's very precious. Don't waste it," Hongyue began to exercise her leadership, assigning tasks. She then looked at Li Huailin, still in his cloth armor, and asked tentatively, "Huailin, aren't you going to change your equipment?"

"I'm starting to think that the newbie cloth armor is a hidden god item. It doesn't drop and has no durability, which is amazing," Li Huailin said. "Don't worry, I can output so much that you can't hold the boss. How would you handle it if I changed my equipment?"

"You're right," Hongyue nodded. "Let's go and take the quests first."

Of course, Li Huailin wouldn't take the quests; he just went around. No one would know if he took the quests or not, and it wouldn't affect the dungeon run.
