Chapter 24

Although the members of Stone Peak's team were all present, the level 2 players watching the show all laughed.

It wasn't because the new players Stone Peak had recruited were all level 1, but rather because the professions he had chosen were too bizarre, making people couldn't help but laugh.

"This newbie is really interesting. I almost admire him. He's just a team of suicide flow."

"I really feel sorry for that expert, who would bring such a bizarre team and even agree to let him be the team leader."

The level 2 players in the queue all started to discuss, and many of them were holding their bellies, laughing out loud.

"Trying to attract attention." Zhao Yueru slightly frowned, glanced at Stone Peak, and turned her head away, feeling somewhat annoyed. In the past, she was always the focus of everyone wherever she went, but today, everyone was paying attention to this unremarkable newbie, Stone Peak. Although it was all ridicule, it was still the focus.

"Alright, Yueru, let's quickly find the rest of the team. If we waste more time, we'll fall behind the top players." Bai Qinxue, although she felt that Stone Peak was an expert, from the perspective of level and team composition, he was far from being called an expert. The idea of inviting Stone Peak to join their guild was now gone; their guild, the Devouring Snake, only accepted experts.

"Understood." Zhao Yueru turned to look at the swordsman player in front of her and said directly, with a hint of revenge, "The data is not bad, but we don't need a swordsman."

The swordsman's expression immediately wilted. How could he not see through Zhao Yueru's intentions? He then turned his head and glared at Stone Peak from a distance, his eyes full of hatred.

Meanwhile, Stone Peak was completely unaware and was about to open the Dead Silence Forest.

System: Please choose the difficulty level.

System: Normal, Hard, Hell.

Without a word, Stone Peak chose Hell. Instantly, the teleportation passage in front of the Dead Silence Forest changed from silver-gray to pitch black, and a skull with a wide-open mouth could be seen flickering.

At the same time, the members of Stone Peak's team all received a message.

System: Hell difficulty Dead Silence Forest has been selected. The penalty for death increases by 100%.

The faces of the team members immediately turned pale. A 100% increase in death penalty meant that if they died in the dungeon, they would lose 20% of their experience, which would take one to two hours of hard work to make up.

"Brother Feng, you made a mistake. Weren't we supposed to go into the normal dungeon?" Heizi hurriedly walked over and whispered a reminder.

"That's not true. It's Hell difficulty. Why would I come here if not for Hell difficulty?" Stone Peak said irritably.

The drop rate of forging blueprints was extremely low. For the normal difficulty, the drop rate of the werewolf Ferrot was only 1%, and for hard difficulty, it was only 5%. Only for Hell difficulty was it 30%. Although the normal difficulty could be run infinitely every day, who had the time? Hard difficulty could only be run five times a day, and the probability of getting a drop was not high. Hell difficulty could be run once a day and had the best chance.

"Brother... Brother Feng, what are you talking about? Hell difficulty Dead Silence Forest, look at our team. Even passing the normal difficulty is a problem, let alone Hell difficulty." Heizi panicked. He had already seen several elite teams die, and according to these people, the monsters in the Dead Silence Forest were extremely strong and intelligent. They couldn't beat them until they reached levels 4 or 5, so they all gave up and left.

Now, with them, these newbies, going into the Hell difficulty dungeon, it was truly going to hell.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't do it if I didn't have confidence." Stone Peak smiled slightly, patted Heizi on the shoulder, and said confidently.

"Alright, let's go in."

Stone Peak led the way in, followed by Heizi. Jimo Ruxue also went in, determined to go all the way.

As for the remaining three, they hesitated for a long time.

"We should go in. The experts have already gone in. What do we, these level 1 newbies, have to be hesitant about? Besides, going into the Hell difficulty Dead Silence Forest is also an honor to talk about." Cola said.

The other two thought it made sense and followed in.

In front of Bai Qinxue's team, there was a silence. All the level 2 players were stunned, not shocked but rather thunderstruck. Level 2 elite teams couldn't even pass the normal difficulty, yet a team mainly composed of level 1 players dared to enter the Hell difficulty Dead Silence Forest.

"Qinxue, I didn't see wrong, did I? That's Hell difficulty, right?" Zhao Yueru said.

Bai Qinxue nodded, her beautiful eyes fixed on the flickering skull, her expression becoming extremely serious.

"That guy must have given up. He thinks he can't pass the normal difficulty Dead Silence Forest, so he's going into Hell difficulty. Let's see how they die." Zhao Yueru said with a chuckle.

"We don't have that time. The team is already formed. Let's go."

Bai Qinxue walked into the Dead Silence Forest dungeon first, setting the difficulty to normal. If the normal difficulty was no problem, they would then go into the hard difficulty Dead Silence Forest.

Inside the Dead Silence Forest dungeon, it was a dark forest, with cold winds blowing from time to time, making the body shiver. The sky was covered with thick black clouds, with lightning and thunder, as if it were the end of the world.

Except for Stone Peak, who stood a bit further from the dungeon entrance, the others were tightly huddled at the entrance, not moving a step, afraid of attracting any small monsters that might wipe them out.

"Brother Feng, why do I always feel a chill on my back?" Heizi said worriedly.

"Heizi, you need to show some expert's demeanor. Only then can you become an expert. It's just Hell difficulty. The monsters are just a bit smarter, the combat methods are a bit more complex, the attacks, defenses, and health are a bit higher, and there are more monsters. That's all." Stone Peak thought for a moment and felt there was nothing else to add.

Instantly, everyone in the team gave him a look of disdain.

A small difference in attack, defense, and health in a dungeon could lead to a total wipe. Stone Peak casually brushed it off. Moreover, what did he mean by "a bit smarter"? For those who had fought against the monsters in the Divine Realm, they knew that a bit smarter meant that with the same attack, defense, and health, the strength would increase by one to two times.

"Alright, alright, don't worry about these small things. I'm going to explain the strategy for this dungeon. Listen carefully, or you might lose your life." Stone Peak waved his hand and prepared to start explaining the dungeon strategy.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew through the dark forest, causing the trees to sway violently.

"Roar!"

After the strong wind, a roar echoed throughout the Dead Silence Forest, scaring countless birds and beasts into flying into the sky.

Heizi and the others were completely stunned by this roar.

They were just young people around 20 years old, who had not experienced any major hardships or life-and-death struggles. This was the first time they had encountered such a heart-wrenching roar, which was even more shocking than the legendary tiger's roar in the mountains.

"That's what we need to pay attention to." Stone Peak said calmly at this moment.

The biggest difference between Hell difficulty and Hard difficulty was this roar.

Although it had no specific name, players from the previous life would call it the 'Hell Roar.'
