Heavy Armor Warriors

"We did it!" Lan Yu shouted.

"We really did it! Awesome, an Epic-grade boss." Fierce Wine Clear Wind said.

Xia Yuwei and Zhang Zibo's team members were all caught up in the excitement.

Once upon a time, they would have been ecstatic just to clear Ogre Cliff on normal difficulty, but Lu Yang had led them to clear the Epic-grade version.

The thought of the equipment that might drop, possibly Silver-grade, changed the way everyone looked at Lu Yang.

"Expert, hurry up and check the equipment," Xia Yuwei said.

In a team, only the leader is qualified to open the equipment chest. Xia Yuwei used to do it, but now she was willingly letting Lu Yang do it.

Lu Yang didn't stand on ceremony. In his previous life, he was the guild leader who opened the equipment chest after a boss that required 2,000 people to kill together. This life would be no different.

Of course, although Lu Yang was often called a black hand by his brothers in the guild in his previous life, Lu Yang felt that his luck was pretty good after being reborn.

He went to the boss and selected the loot interface. A silvery light illuminated the entire area.

"Silver-grade!" Someone shouted, and everyone's eyes turned green with envy.

"Whose equipment is it?"

"Mage or Warrior?"

"Rogue, it must be Rogue's."

"Hunter's, it's Hunter's."

Listening to the familiar voices, Lu Yang couldn't help but smile. He turned around and said to everyone, "It's a Silver-grade shield, for a Defense Warrior."

Lu Yang shared the shield's stats with everyone.

Cliff's Shield (Silver-grade)

Defense: 7-22

Strength +2

Constitution +3

Block Value +8

"The defense is so high, it's on par with the Wyrm Battle Shield." Fierce Wine Clear Wind said in surprise when he saw the shield's attributes.

Xia Yuwei and Zhang Zibo quickly came to Lu Yang's side when they saw the equipment's attributes. Xia Yuwei said, "Mr. Lu Yang, this shield is too precious. We won't take it for free. I'm willing to pay 3,000 coins to buy it."

Zhang Zibo nodded repeatedly.

Lu Yang was about to give it to Zhang Zibo, but he chuckled when he heard this and asked, "What's this all about? Why are you giving me money?"

Zhang Zibo didn't answer, but said seriously, "With this shield, I can tank Death Cave at Epic-grade or lower. This is very important to us. I hope you can let us buy it."

Lan Yu also said, "Yeah, expert, sell it to us."

Lu Yang looked at Lan Yu speechlessly and said, "Little girl, why are you joining in on the fun? Go away."

"You…" Lan Yu puffed out her cheeks and walked away "angrily".

Lu Yang looked at the nervous Xia Yuwei and Zhang Zibo and said, "Have you forgotten our previous agreement? I said that the Mage equipment belongs to me, and the rest belongs to you."

He gifted the shield to Zhang Zibo.

System Notification: Player Lu Yang has gifted you Cliff's Shield.

"You, you're really giving it to me for free?" Zhang Zibo didn't expect Lu Yang to be so generous.

Xia Yuwei was also surprised and said, "Mr. Lu Yang, but, but…"

Lu Yang said, "There's no but's about it. It's not about the money, it's about integrity."

Xia Yuwei and Zhang Zibo were convinced, and Lan Yu looked at Lu Yang with even more admiration.

Lu Yang clapped his hands and said to everyone, "Alright, everyone rest here. After we Heal, we'll continue on and try to clear Death Cave within an hour."

"Okay," Zhang Zibo and the other team members responded one after another.

If the others still had some doubts about Lu Yang before, after defeating Cliff, everyone was full of confidence in Lu Yang.

"Um, guild leader, Zheng Yuan is still lying on the ground. Should we revive him?" A Warrior in the team asked.

Only then did Xia Yuwei and the others remember that Zheng Yuan had been burned to death by the boss during the battle because he didn't listen to orders.

"We don't have a Heal skill, let him run in himself," Xia Yuwei said, suppressing her anger.

"Okay." The Warrior in the team sent a message to Zheng Yuan.

At this time, Zheng Yuan was standing outside the dungeon. According to the game rules, members cannot enter the dungeon during combat.

After receiving the message that he could enter, Zheng Yuan ran in. However, when he arrived next to the others and saw that the boss had been killed, the expression on his face changed constantly.

Lu Yang was too lazy to pay attention to Zheng Yuan and said to everyone, "Everyone Heal up, and we'll continue on."

"Okay." Zhang Zibo and the other team members stood up excitedly and followed Lu Yang forward.

Zheng Yuan thought that Lu Yang would make trouble for him, but he didn't expect Lu Yang to ignore him, which made him quite happy.

She quickly came to Xia Yuwei's side and said, "Yuwei, I just bought the mage skills Blink and Flame Shield at the entrance. Now my abilities are the same as that Lu Yang."

Xia Yuwei ignored Zheng Yuan, leaving him feeling awkward. He wanted to find Lan Yu, but Lan Yu had also gone to Lu Yang's side.

"So what if he killed a boss? What's so great about it?" Zheng Yuan said unhappily.

Zhang Zibo sighed upon hearing Zheng Yuan's words, too lazy to argue with him.

Passing through the wooden door of the cave hall, the group arrived in a wide, natural tunnel.

On the right side of the tunnel was an underground river, and on the left was the mountainside. Every three meters or so, a torch on the mountainside illuminated the surroundings.

"There are eight humanoid Heavy Armor Warriors ahead. Everyone be careful," the rogue who went ahead to scout returned and said.

Heavy Armor Warriors were the main fighting force of the Fals Empire. These so-called Heavy Armor Warriors were similar to medieval European knights, wearing full plate armor, holding a large shield in their left hand, and a long spear in their right.

The group stood at the entrance of the tunnel, looking at the eight Heavy Armor Warriors thirty yards away. Fierce Wine Clear Wind said in surprise, "How are they all Level 5 elites?"

Xia Yuwei asked, "Isn't that how normal dungeons are?"

Fierce Wine Clear Wind said, "Of course not. There are only three normal monsters here in a normal dungeon."

"What do we do? We definitely can't beat eight elites."

The output of three elite monsters was equal to that of a boss. With five more elite monsters, even if the team had three defense warriors who could tank, the mages wouldn't be able to keep up with the healing, because one defense warrior required three priests to heal, and there were only five priests in the entire team.

Xia Yuwei looked at Lu Yang and asked, "Should we just go back? We'd be happy enough if we could beat Cliff."

Zhang Zibo also said, "Yeah, expert, this is really too difficult."

Lu Yang said, "Don't worry, let me think of a way first."

This level had stumped countless players in his previous life. Even a guild full of experts with bronze and black iron equipment would have a hard time getting through it.

However, after a fire mage posted a video, everything became easier.

This fire mage was already level 6, far higher than the recommended level, but because he didn't have any equipment, he had to join a group to farm this dungeon. However, he couldn't get past this level no matter what he tried. After being stuck for three days, the fire mage found a solution.

On the side of the tunnel closest to the mountainside, there was a drainage ditch that was nearly half a meter deep.

As the saying goes, the higher the mountain, the deeper the water. The mountain was full of dense cracks, and these cracks were filled with water.

When it rained, these cracks would fill with rainwater. If there were no caves inside the mountain, the water would remain there. If there were caves, the water would flow down the cracks.

This bug exploited the drainage ditch. When the eight Heavy Armor Warriors came over, the fire mage used Flame Shield to forcibly knock the Heavy Armor Warriors into the drainage ditch.

The drainage ditch was about 30 centimeters deep and 20 centimeters wide. After the Heavy Armor Warriors were knocked into the drainage ditch by Flame Shield, the plate armor boots on their feet would get stuck in the drainage ditch, leaving them unable to move and vulnerable to player attacks.
