The Green Grassland Dungeon

Su Yu was very familiar with this dungeon.

In his previous life, as a member of the Shepherd Cloud Guild, he had helped many low-level players clear dungeons.

This was done partly to meet his company's performance metrics, and partly to improve the overall strength of humanity.

He had entered Green Grassland at least 20 times, and could navigate to the Village Chief of Sheep Village with his eyes closed.

Of course, that was assuming he could clear the monsters along the way.

Like now.

After walking only a few steps along the mountain path, four goats grazing ahead looked over at him, their eyes bloodshot.

[Raging Goat lv5] Health: 300 Attack: 25 Skill: [Furious Charge]: Charges towards the target location, increasing the next attack's damage by 50%. Cooldown: 15 seconds. [Herd Gathering (Passive)]: For every companion within 40 meters, damage dealt increases by 10%.

The regular monsters in dungeons had the "Elite" template, with 3.3 times the health of normal monsters outside.

And these goats were not to be underestimated.

With an attack of 25, the goats dealt 10-13 damage to defensive warriors and paladins of the same level.

If all four attacked simultaneously, combined with the passive effect of [Herd Gathering] and the damage boost from [Furious Charge], a tank class might not be able to withstand it.

In the early stages of the game, the goats were known as "newbie tank killers."

Upon seeing Su Yu, the four goats charged forward with "baaing" sounds.

Their posture was less like goats and more like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves.

Su Yu stood his ground.

When the four goats were only three to four meters away, he activated the [Frost Nova] scroll.

A massive ice ring exploded outwards from Su Yu, and ice crystals quickly spread to the feet of the four goats.

-43- -43- -42- -44

[Frost Nova] didn't deal much damage, but its crowd control effect was exceptionally powerful.

The giant ice crystals firmly froze the goats in place, rendering them immobile.

Su Yu wanted to test the scroll first, so instead of casting [Chain Lightning], he immediately activated a [Rain of Fire] scroll.

The fire element from the scroll roared out, condensing into a fiery red cloud resembling molten lava above the goats' heads.

Large fire meteorites fell from the lava cloud, smashing onto the goats' heads.

-43- -41- -40

[Rain of Fire] was a multi-hit damage skill, with a meteorite hitting a goat every second, dealing around 40 damage.

The goats cried out in pain as they were hit by the meteorites, but their four legs were still trapped by the ice, preventing them from moving. They could only endure the damage with their bodies.

After 3 seconds, the freezing effect of [Frost Nova] disappeared.

For crowd control effects like [Freeze], repeated application on the same target would result in diminishing returns.

For example, if Su Yu's first [Frost Nova] could freeze the goats for 3 seconds, the second [Frost Nova] would only freeze them for 1.5 seconds, and a third [Frost Nova] would have almost no freezing effect.

After the "ice and fire dual-heaven" baptism for 3 seconds, each goat had lost about 170 health, bringing their health down to below half.

Once freed, the goats, with their eyes red again, charged forward with "baaing" sounds.

However, these goats no longer posed any threat. Su Yu casually cast a [Chain Lightning].

-161- -157- -156- -163

The goats' health was depleted, and they fell to the ground, emitting an enticing aroma.

Su Yu stepped forward and examined the drops from the four goats.

Smelling the familiar scent of roasted lamb, he suddenly felt hungry.

However, he hadn't learned the [Cooking] sub-profession, so he could only sigh, collect the materials and equipment dropped by the goats, and walk along the mountain path.

Besides the [Raging Goat], the [Green Grassland] instance also contained the [Arrogant Goat] (with the skill "Arrogant Gaze," which can reduce the target's damage), the [Mad Goat] (with the skill "Leaping Attack"), and the Corrupted Goat (whose attacks inflict high Shadow Damage), and so on.

Under Su Yu's high output, all goats were equal; no goat could withstand his immense damage.

After clearing two waves of goat mobs, he encountered the first BOSS in the instance – the [Boiling Goat Leader].

[Boiling Goat Leader Lv6]

HP: 1100

Attack: 44

The [Boiling Goat Leader] could be considered a larger, upgraded version of the [Raging Goat].

In addition to the passive skills [Herd Gathering (Passive)] and [Furious Charge], it also possessed the skills [Sheep Swarm Summon], [Bronze Skin Iron Bones] (which increases defense and attack power), and [Leaping Attack].

However, for Su Yu, this BOSS presented almost no difficulty.

He summoned a [Rock Elemental] to taunt the BOSS and used [Frost Nova] to control the other goats.

Then, he stood his ground and unleashed a barrage of attacks on the BOSS itself.

The [Boiling Goat Leader] destroyed the [Rock Elemental] and used [Leaping Attack] to close in on Su Yu, who then used [Blink] to dodge.

Although the [Boiling Goat Leader] had 1100 HP and activated [Bronze Skin Iron Bones] midway, it couldn't withstand his onslaught and was easily defeated in less than 8 seconds.

Picking up the BOSS's drops, Su Yu continued forward.

After clearing a few more waves of mobs, Su Yu encountered the second BOSS, the [Beautiful Goat Leader].

The difficulty of the [Beautiful Goat Leader] lay in its ability to split into three when its HP dropped below 50%. One was the true body, and the other two were mirrors. Both the true body and the mirrors would cast [Charm Attack] on players.

However, there were slight differences between the BOSS's true body and its mirrors, such as a difference in pupil color or a slight variation in horn shape.

Players had to identify the BOSS's true body from these differences. If they reduced the true body's HP below 30%, they could avoid a party wipe.

Su Yu was very familiar with this BOSS and quickly identified the true body among the three clones.

With a flurry of high-damage single-target spells, the second BOSS was successfully taken down.

After defeating the second BOSS and entering the sheep village, they arrived before the final BOSS of the entire instance, the [Village Chief of Sheep Village].

The [Village Chief of Sheep Village] was a wise man wearing glasses, with a rather unique mechanism.

The village chief had 3000 HP and 100 Attack. A normal five-person team would be no match for him.

However, before the battle began, the village chief would ask the player 10 questions. For each question answered correctly, his HP and Attack would be reduced by 9%.

But Su Yu had memorized the question bank in his previous life, so the village chief's questions were no challenge for him.

"Young man," the village chief asked upon seeing Su Yu, "do you know the three great human empires on this continent?"

"Of course, I do. The Golden Flower Empire, the Rhine Empire, and the Wind Chime Empire," Su Yu replied calmly.

"Then do you know the founding principle of the Mage faction – the Elemental Dome?" the village chief continued to ask.

"To seek endless knowledge."

"How many teeth does the Star Forger Dragon King have?"

"34."

"What does 'shan'do' mean in Elvish?"

"Archdruid."

"What do Pandaren usually say when they say goodbye?"

"My treat next time."

Su Yu answered all 10 questions perfectly, leaving the [Village Chief of Sheep Village] with a meager 300 HP.

He casually threw out a [Chain Lightning] and a [Lesser Fireball] scroll, and the entire instance was cleared.
