Chapter 69

The entrance to the Borune副本 is the former South Gate of Borune City. According to the game's setting, the other city gates have all collapsed, leaving only this one entrance. The final boss, Didi Xite, is now in the ruins of the former Borune City's central lord's mansion, which is its lair.

Although Borune is a dungeon with special resistance requirements and is not very easy for new players to clear, there are still many teams and solo players looking for groups at the entrance. Of course, it's not as many as the current popular dungeons.

"A hunter with over 90 attack, seeking a group for the dungeon." A hunter player shouted.

"A level 2 paladin player seeking a group."

"A team leader who has cleared the dungeon once, now needs one main tank, a warrior with over 60 spell defense and over 1200 health, four short one." A mage player shouted.

"There are quite a few people here, selling fire protection potions would definitely be profitable." Hongchen Yan Yu suddenly said as they walked by.

"You always think about making money. Whoever marries you won't go hungry." Hongyue said with a smile, "Unfortunately, we still don't have the source of materials for fire protection potions. The current market price for fire flowers is so high, buying them to make potions won't earn much..."

"It's all because of the End of the World guild..." Li Huailin hated the End of the World guild again, a mix of new and old grievances.

"Alright, the difficulty has been set. Everyone, let's enter the dungeon." Hongyue waved and said.

As soon as they entered the dungeon, Li Huailin saw the first group of small monsters at the entrance. There were three monsters, all with a funny appearance. They were called lizardmen, but they were actually strange creatures with lizard faces and two legs, fortunately, they were wearing armor, otherwise they would look like standing Komodo dragons.

The three small monsters were divided into two types. The front two were wearing armor and had no weapons in their hands, but their claws glowed with a cold light, indicating they attack with their claws. The one at the back was holding a staff, probably because it was designed to have a mother who could use magic, so it could also use spell attacks.

Since Li Huailin was almost level 17, he could now see the attributes of the monsters. He used the "Scout" skill, and the attributes of the two monsters appeared before his eyes.

Flame Lizardman Warrior (Abyss): Level 20, HP: 3500, Physical Attack: 145, Physical Defense: 70, Spell Attack: 120, Spell Defense: 60. Can use the Flame Spray skill, has high resistance to fire magic, and is weak against frost spells.

Flame Lizardman Mage (Abyss): Level 20, HP: 2000, Physical Attack: 75, Physical Defense: 60, Spell Attack: 130, Spell Defense: 110. Can use fire magic, has high resistance to fire magic, and is weak against frost spells.

Like the fire elementals Li Huailin had encountered before, these lizardmen also fear frost spells. Fortunately, Hongchen Yan Yu is a frost mage, which is a perfect counter.

"The Flame Lizardman Warrior will use the Flame Spray skill after about three physical attacks. In normal mode, it can deal around 100 damage per second for 3 seconds, then continue with physical attacks. Two together would be 200. I'm not sure how much it has increased in the Abyss, but let's see how it goes." Hongyue began to command the team, "The Flame Lizardman Mage usually throws fireballs, but if they are grouped, it will also use Flame Storm, which is more troublesome. However, it has less health. Huailin, we don't have a rogue to interrupt spellcasting, so you quickly kill the Flame Lizardman Mage first, then attack the warrior."

"Okay, the health is really low, I can kill it in four hits." Li Huailin nodded and said.

"We have two priests in our team. Shui'er, you focus on healing me. Cuiwu, you save your mana. If you see Shui'er can't keep up or if anyone else's health drops, you heal them." Hongyue turned to Hongyan Shui'er and Hongfei Cuwu and said.

"Okay." "Okay." Both women nodded.

"Do you have any AoE spells now?" Li Huailin asked, "If so, we can attack all three at once."

"I haven't learned any AoE spells at level 15." Hongchen Yan Yu replied, "My frost spells include Frost Arrow, Ice Armor to boost my defense, and Ice Ring to control enemies."

"Alright, you and I will take out the mage first." Li Huailin said.

"Okay." Hongchen Yan Yu nodded.

"If any monsters attack the priests, you use Ice Ring to control them, and I'll taunt them back immediately." Since they were pulling two monsters, it was hard to manage hate. Although Hongyue was skilled at pulling multiple monsters, he still said this as a precaution.

"Okay." Hongchen Yan Yu nodded again.

"Alright, that's the plan. Everyone, focus. It's almost noon, so you shouldn't be sleepy. Let's all be serious. This is an Abyss dungeon, and the rewards will be for everyone if we clear it." Hongyue boosted the team's morale and prepared to engage the monsters.

"Sister Yue, let's start. With Brother Huailin here, I think we can do it." Hongyan Shui'er said.

"Let's go." Hongyue charged at the first group of monsters. Since the warrior doesn't have a charge skill or a way to pull monsters from a distance, they had to pull them manually.

The Flame Lizardman Warrior immediately charged at Hongyue, and the Flame Lizardman Mage started casting a fireball, targeting Hongyue.

"Watch out, here comes the blade." Li Huailin's movement speed was faster than Hongyue's. As Hongyue just engaged the two warriors, Li Huailin had already reached the Flame Lizardman Mage and struck with a Heroic Strike. Since this wasn't a monster pulled by Hongyue, Heroic Strike added 75 damage, and a critical hit added 150, making it a very useful skill.

-584

The first strike didn't critical, but the Flame Lizardman Mage's hate was successfully drawn. It immediately abandoned Hongyue and started casting fireballs at Li Huailin.

"The physical attack is much higher, dealing around 130 damage per hit." Hongyue reported the damage.

"No problem, I can keep up." Hongyan Shui'er replied.

-231, a fireball hit Li Huailin, dealing damage similar to the fire elementals in the dungeon.

"Fireballs dealing over 200 damage, no pressure." Li Huailin said in the team chat.

"Your health is really high." Hongfei Cuwu noticed that Li Huailin's health bar was very long, and a 200+ damage fireball only reduced his health by less than 5%.

"Use Greater Heal when you heal me, not Restore. Restore drains your health, only direct healing can increase it. No rush, take a break." Li Huailin reminded her.

Li Huailin struck again, dealing over 500 damage to the Flame Lizardman Mage, but it didn't critical. At the same time, a Frost Arrow hit the Flame Lizardman Mage, reducing its health further.

"Can deal over 300 damage, this thing really fears frost spells, the damage is doubled." Hongchen Yan Yu said.

"You need to control your damage output when fighting the boss, or you might pull hate and can't handle the boss's attacks." Hongyue reminded her.

"Okay." Hongchen Yan Yu nodded.

-1104 (Critical) Li Huailin's third strike was a critical hit, instantly reducing the Flame Lizardman Mage to a sliver of health. At the same time, the two warriors started using Flame Spray.

"Each one deals around 220 damage per second, which is quite high!" Hongyue immediately said, "Together, they can deal 1320 damage over 3 seconds, which is more than my health. Cuwu, heal me too!"

Hongyue was now wearing a set of fire-resistant gear, but his constitution wasn't very high, with only 1260 health. It was very dangerous, as a critical hit immediately after the Flame Spray could knock him down. Fortunately, with two priests, they could keep his health at a safe level, avoiding a one-hit knockdown.

Hongfei Cuwu immediately started Greater Healing Hongyue, while Shui'er continued to heal without stopping. Li Huailin immediately started attacking one of the warriors. Hongyue's health fluctuated but remained above half, so there was no danger.

When attacking the monsters pulled by Hongyue, Li Huailin didn't use Heroic Strike, which slightly reduced his damage, but it wasn't a big issue. With Hongchen Yan Yu's damage, they quickly took down one of the warriors, reducing the pressure on Hongyue. The continuous healing from Hongyan Shui'er also allowed her to take a break.

The last one didn't cause any unexpected issues, no hate pull, no one-shot, and it went down quietly.

"Feels doable." Hongchen Yan Yu said, "The pressure isn't too high."

"Okay." Hongfei Cuwu nodded, "Although the leader's health fluctuates a lot, two priests can handle it, keeping it above half. Our damage output is also sufficient, so I think we can clear it."

"Good thing we have fire resistance, otherwise, we wouldn't know how we'd be one-shot." Hongyue said, "Don't be complacent. The main challenge in the dungeon is the boss. We struggled with the small monsters, so the boss will be even tougher. But now we have the conditions to fight the boss. Let's go, everyone, and clear this dungeon."
