"After all, it's only a level 20 dungeon. Even on Abyss difficulty, the zombies won't exceed level 70; that's the dungeon's level restriction."
"However, while the zombie's level won't increase, the attributes on the zombie will continue to increase. Later on, zombies with attributes like Physics attack immunity or magic attack immunity will inevitably appear."
"Defense towers can be upgraded every 10 levels. You need to choose the upgrade direction for your defense tower, such as armor penetration or true damage. You must choose these."
"Otherwise, it will be very troublesome if we encounter strong armor, or armor with strong damage reduction or damage reflection."
"Understood!" Ling Yi nodded.
Just then, Meng Yue sent Ling Yi a trade request.
"I purchased some equipment with special attributes for you from the auction house."
"An auction house?" Ling Yi asked in surprise.
In the instance, the chat, shop, and auction house modules are disabled. How come Meng Yue can still buy things in the auction house?
Ling Yi tried it himself, and sure enough, all these modules were disabled.
"How did you do that?" Ling Yi was genuinely astonished.
"Source-level equipment!" Meng Yue simply said four words and then said no more.
Although Ling Yi was extremely curious, he wouldn't press the matter since the other person didn't want to talk about it.
Meng Yue directly traded a thousand pieces of equipment to Ling Yi.
These pieces of equipment are not high-level, only around level 10, but their attributes are all over the place.
Excellent Strike: When attacking, there is a certain probability that Ignore the target's defense.
Excellent Resistance: When hit by Excellent Strike, there is a certain probability of becoming immune to Excellent damage.
Stacked Reflection: When receiving a counterattack, there is a certain probability that the counterattack damage will be reflected back.
Damage Reflection Resistance: When receiving a counterattack, there is a certain probability of becoming immune to the counterattack damage.
Damn, the stats on these items are amazing.
The problem is that there are fewer of these types of equipment. Apart from the Damage Reflection Resistance stat being stacked to 130%, the other stats haven't increased much.
Excellent Strike 5%, Excellent Resistance 10%, Stacked Reflection 20%, Damage Reflection Resistance 130%.
Clearly, this type of equipment is not commonly seen.
Moreover, it seems that Meng Yue had planned it all out. In addition to the above-mentioned equipment attributes, she also maxed out Life Steal, poison resistance, and stun resistance, and increased her attack speed to 200.
When Ling Yi added all these items to his equipment slots, the most noticeable Changes was a dramatic increase in the attack speed of the defensive towers.
That guy, the shells had formed a straight line, and the distant roars were completely superimposed.
It didn't sound like the explosion of artillery shells, but rather like continuous thunder, or rather, thunder with reverberation.
We've now reached the third level.
The game ended as soon as the third level began.
[Congratulations to professional players Ling Yi and Meng Yue for successfully passing the third level of the Land of Zombies ( Abyss ). The fourth Guan San.]
[Countdown: 30...]
[Turret level upgraded to lv10. Please select an advancement path: Concussion Turret, Deadly Poison Turret ]
[ The Ice Tower has been upgraded to level 10. Please select an advancement path: Frost Turret, or Ice Mist Turret.]
Concussion Turret: Within its attack range, there is a certain probability of stunning the target. The probability increases with the level. The original turret attributes are inherited.
Deadly Poison Turret: All targets hit will be inflicted with a poison effect. The poison effect increases with level, and the original turret attributes are inherited.
Frost Turret: Significantly reduces the target's movement speed, up to 90%. Inherited from the original Ice Tower.
Ice Mist Turret: Upon hitting a target, it generates an area-of-effect ice mist. Within the area covered by the ice mist, the target will continuously suffer damage from the Ice Poison. As the level increases, the range of the ice mist increases, and the damage from the Ice Poison increases. The original attributes of the Ice Tower are inherited.
Ling Yi turned to Meng Yue: "How do we choose?"
"Poison and Ice Mist, I guess. They stun and slow. I can buy some equipment with those attributes from the auction house, but both Poison and Ice Mist Ignore defense, so they'll be very strong in the late game."
Ling Yi no longer hesitated and directly chose the path of advancement.
With Ling Yi's choice, the original turrets turned into green cesium, while the original Ice towers changed from blue cesium to dark blue cesium.
Just then, the countdown for the fourth level ended.
But just like before, the monsters in the fourth level were cleared out in less than two seconds.
There's nothing strange about it; there's absolutely nothing strange about it.
Ling Yi and Meng Yue both reached level 28.
After completing levels 5 and 6, the two reached level 29. After completing level 10, they reached level 31.
Completed level 20, level 35.
As Ling Yi accumulated more and more equipment, his attributes also Berserk.
The defense towers have all been upgraded to level 30.
At level 20, the Deadly Poison Turret evolves into the Biochemical Turret, greatly increasing poison damage and having a certain probability of causing percentage-based health loss.
The Ice Mist Turret is upgraded to the Icicle Turret, which adds hail damage to the Ice Fog effect.
The level 30 defense towers are upgraded again, with the Biochemical Turret becoming the Necrotic Turret. After a zombie dies, there is a certain probability that it will directly turn into a necromancer.
The undead have no physical form, Ignore Physics attacks, and their attacks have a certain effect of Ignore Physics defense. They exist for 10 seconds.
The Icicle Tower evolves into the Ice Explosion Tower. Upon the death of a target, there is a certain probability that it will explode directly. The resulting ice mist can cause secondary damage, Ignore defense and has an explosive attack effect.
It sounds impressive, but in reality, these effects are barely noticeable.
There's no way around it; Ling Yi's base attributes and modifiers provide a huge boost to the turrets.
Even if the turret doesn't upgrade and remains in its initial state, it's still invincible.
The 20 levels, with a total of 60,000 zombies, provided Ling Yi with a massive amount of equipment and stat bonuses.
With Infinite Stacking, the destructive power of the affix bonuses alone is explosive.
By the time they finished level 49, the two of them had reached level 42.
[Congratulations to professional players Ling Yi and Meng Yue for successfully passing level 49 of the Land of Zombies ( Abyss ). Guan San.]
[Countdown: 30...]
[Danger! Danger! Danger!]
The red warning has reappeared.
[WARNING: Level 50 is a BOSS level. All zombies are level 50 BOSS zombies. Professional players should prepare for Combat.]
So the BOSS level is all about BOSSes!
Both Ling Yi and Meng Yue remained relatively calm.
It's just a boss; unless it's a boss with a bugged stat, the outcome won't change.
While Ling Yi and Meng Yue were running the dungeon, in the city lord's mansion of Dafeng City, Peng Bahai was Thunder at his subordinates.
"It's been a whole day, and we still haven't found the person who cleared the level. What are you guys doing?"
"Useless! All of you are useless!"
The person who cleared the Nether Forest has still not been found, which infuriates Peng Bahai.
With the completion of the Nether Forest Abyss difficulty level, various factions gathered in Dafeng City.
Even many high-ranking military Big Shot came.
A military commander-level official—that's a true regional governor, standing at the pinnacle of the Great Qian Empire in terms of both strength and power.
In ancient times, this would be equivalent to a high-ranking official of the Third Pin in the imperial court.
Of the eight military commanders of the Great Qian Empire, five have arrived at this moment.
The emergence of Abyss Clearer in Dafeng City was originally a dazzling achievement for Peng Bahai, but then Ling Yi flipped the table.
Some people seized on this point and kept putting pressure on Peng Bahai.
Although Peng Bahai's backer was also a military leader, pressure from other military leaders rendered his backer ineffective.
Moreover, these military leaders have already declared that they must find the Abyss Clearer within three days, otherwise, not only will their city lord be dismissed, but they may also be sent to the Land of the Undead.
The Land of the Undead, a level 90 open-world dungeon, became an invasion dungeon because the first player to attempt it failed.
To stop the invasion of the undead army, each country needs to send a large number of professionals to suppress it year-round.
Yes, it's not just the Great Qian Empire; other countries are also sending professionals.
After all, if a level 90 open-world dungeon were to be completely invaded, Blue Star simply wouldn't be able to withstand it.
There are many more wilderness dungeons like this on Blue Star, but the most dangerous one is this Land of the Undead.
Therefore, all countries have regulations stipulating that any discovery of copies in the wild must be reported immediately, otherwise severe penalties will be imposed.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Ling Yi and Meng Yue's act of privately running open-world dungeons was against the rules.
If you fail to pass the test, you will inevitably be Capture or even killed.
Peng Bahai naturally didn't want to go to the Land of the Undead. He was a level 55 fifth reincarnation, and it was just a normal Reincarnation, so the attribute bonuses from Reincarnation weren't much.
Going to the Land of the Undead is basically cannon fodder; the chance of survival is zero.
"It's all that damned Ling Yi's fault," Peng Bahai said coldly.
If Ling Yi hadn't flipped the table, none of this mess would have happened.
It wasn't just Peng Bahai who hated Ling Yi; countless people throughout the entire Great Qian Empire hated Ling Yi.
After all, this wave of table-flipping has left too many unlucky people behind.
According to Peng Bahai's backer, Xiang Cangqiong, the commander-in-chief, Thunder upon learning of this matter and will soon return from the mysterious place.
Those forces, guilds, and chambers of commerce that dare to challenge the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty must be severely punished, or even Great Qing.
I wonder how many people will be unlucky then.
And all of this was because Ling Yi, that insignificant ant, overturned the table.
For Peng Bahai, if he couldn't find those two Abyss Clearers before Commander Xiang returned, he would Peng Bahai be doomed.
"Lord, we have investigated all the players below level 10 who entered the dungeon yesterday, but we have found nothing," a pale-faced middle-aged man who looked to be around forty years old said helplessly.
He is Gao Cheng, the flag lord of Dafeng City, who is the deputy to the city lord. In Dafeng City, his power is second only to Peng Bahai.
Gao Cheng, fourth job advancement, level 43, B-rank talent, profession: Holy Healer.
"To avoid any Surveillance, I had someone investigate all the professions that were recorded in the dungeon yesterday. I checked their profession stats, but none of them were Abyss clearers."
Peng Bahai frowned. "Are you sure you haven't missed anything?"
"Sure!"
"That's strange. Could these two possibly fly?"
Gao Cheng and said, "The other party is obviously unwilling to reveal their identity, and must have at least Legend- level equipment on them, hiding their attributes."
"This only benefits them, it doesn't harm them, so why wouldn't they be willing to reveal their identities?"
"The only way to find out is to find the other person."
He paused, then added, "Lord City Lord, finding those who have cleared the level isn't actually that difficult!"
