The Bizarre Instance

After reviewing the information, Xiao Yu's sense of helplessness towards the adventurers had greatly diminished.

"Hey, are you done yet?" Chenghong Moli's voice came through the communicator.

"Coming, coming," Xiao Yu said, putting down the documents in his hand and returning to the game.

"Let's team up and get ready for the dungeon!" Xiao Yu said excitedly.

He does have some knowledge of dungeons.

There are indeed dungeons in War of the Gods, but the game company divided the entire game into two worlds: the real world and the dungeon world.

Because many units in the real world are unique, once killed, they are gone. Moreover, NPCs are intelligent, so if they know about the existence of the instance, or if they have appeared in the instance in real life, it is easy to discover the flaws in the game.

In order to allow all players to experience some interesting storylines, the dungeon world and the real world are completely separated in the War of the Gods.

Furthermore, players don't need to physically run into the instance to enter; as long as you are in the instance's area, the instance entry option will automatically appear in the instance list.

Furthermore, there are no level restrictions for dungeons; theoretically, you can enter extremely difficult dungeons at level one—as long as you can beat them, there won't be any problems.

Xiao Yu opened the dungeon list for the Death Wilderness Hell and found that there were four dungeons available in the Death Wilderness area.

Dungeon 1: Kaolin Camp (Normal - 20-player difficulty).

Dungeon Introduction: Kaolin Camp is an advance outpost established by the Kern Kingdom in the Death Wilderness. The Kern King's Special Investigation Team is stationed here, and they are here specifically to investigate the frequent appearances of Undead creatures in the Death Wilderness that attack humans.

They hope to investigate the truth behind the large-scale appearance of Undead in the Death Wilderness and completely eliminate the Undead threat in the area.

To prevent them from discovering Naraku, God of Death's plans prematurely, they must be eliminated.

Dungeon BOSS: 1: Lieutenant Kailin, 2: Resting Adventurer Party (members random), 3: Knight Commander Edward.

Dungeon 2: Den of Evil (Normal - 20-player difficulty).

Dungeon Description: The Undead Andrew secretly raised an Undead Legion in Den of Evil and assigned his capable assistant, a mutated zombie nicknamed 'Corpsefire', to lead them.

However, a group of adventurers accidentally discovered Den of Evil and wanted to kill the boss inside to Corpsefire; they must be stopped.

Dungeon BOSS:

1: A rookie adventurer team.

2: A seasoned adventurer squad.

3: High-level adventurers who enjoy soloing and are equipped with top-tier gear.

Dungeon 3: Burying Ground (Elite - 100-player difficulty).

Dungeon Description: A team of elite adventurers has entered the Great Graveyard in the Burying Ground. They want to kill the Blackhand behind the Great Graveyard — the Undead Andrew and all his minions. You must stop them! Fight, Undead, and engage in a final battle with the evil adventurers to protect our lord, the necromancer.

Dungeon BOSS:

1: A raiding party from a famous guild (they forgot to apply buffs on their first raid).

2: A raiding party from a famous guild (led by the guild leader, who also provided buffs).

3: A raiding party from a famous guild (led by the guild leader, with powerful outside help, buffed and all of them drinking potions).

Dungeon 4: The Lost Village (Beginner - 10-player difficulty).

Dungeon Introduction: Poli Village is the last remaining human settlement in the Death Wilderness. Located in a secluded valley in the Black Mountains, this peaceful village serves as a refuge for the surviving humans in the Death Wilderness. However, the Undead Andrew eventually discovered it, seeking to recruit more soldiers and allow more survivors to experience the afterlife.

The great Undead Andrew decided to send a squad of Undead to slaughter all the villagers.

Dungeon BOSS:

1: The militia captain of Poli Village.

2: The blacksmith of Poli Village.

3: The three lost adventurers.

4: The village chief and Priest of Poli Village.

After reading the dungeon descriptions, Xiao Yu was speechless. "Damn, these dungeon descriptions are all so weird."

"Which dungeon should we run?" Chenghong Moli asked.

Big Water Cunt, "Of course it's the Poli Village dungeon. With our current strength, it's better to start with the beginner difficulty."

Anyone with a little gaming experience knows this, so they quickly reached an agreement.

Xiao Yu also noticed that the game's dungeons had a large number of players, with the lowest difficulty requiring 10 players and the highest requiring as many as 100. He guessed that this was because the monsters were relatively weak, and the large number of players was the only way to compensate.

"Die, you Sword of the Fallen Angel! Have you ever run this dungeon before?"

The Sword of the Fallen Angel shook his head. "No, but I've run a similar dungeon before. In the War of the Gods, dungeons are randomly generated, usually based on the relationships between the forces in a region. If our Burying Ground were replaced by Orcs camp, then the generated dungeon would likely be one related to Orcs."

"If the real world changes, such as Andrew and his Undead army being wiped out, then the instance of this region will also change, and may even disappear."

"This village, Poli Village, definitely exists in reality, but if we actually find it and wipe out everyone in it, this instance might disappear after a while."

"Furthermore, the NPCs in the dungeon are completely different from the NPCs in the real world. Real-world NPCs are intelligent NPCs, and they look no different from real people. However, the NPCs in the dungeon can only act according to programs and instincts, and they have no intelligence. Although they look very similar to real people at first glance, you will find that they are actually quite silly after you get to know them better."

Furthermore, the same NPC in the dungeon and the real world usually do not interact at all.

Xiao Yu thought to himself, "So that's how it is. This way, we can avoid a lot of trouble in the Sky World."

"Then let's begin."

As Xiao Yu spoke, he immediately began calling for reinforcements.

Since it was the first day of the game, even though it was past midnight, there were still many players. Many of them were playing for the first time and didn't know how to run dungeons. As soon as they heard someone was asking for help with dungeon runs, they eagerly signed up, so the team was quickly assembled. Some of them were even members of teams they had formed with before. Since it was a newbie dungeon, there weren't any special requirements for the participants.

After forming a team and selecting to enter the instance, the group was quickly teleported into the instance.

This is a small valley with only one overgrown path, and black mist behind us; it's clearly the edge of the instance.

There was a small cemetery next to the group, with several tombstones standing there; this was probably the respawn point for the dungeon.

Following the narrow mountain path forward, not far away, a stockade wall and a huge wooden gate came into view. Several militiamen were standing on the tower of the wooden wall for defense, which should be the entrance to Poli Village.

At that moment, an Undead suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

"Gentlemen, I am Undead, the Isaac, Lord Andrew's apprentice, and the commander of this operation. Your mission is to slaughter all the villagers in this village to provide more troops for my lord's cause. After the mission is completed, I will give you the rewards you deserve. Now, Undead, it's time to get to work. I will be here waiting for your good news."

After saying that, Isaac fell silent.

This is quite in line with the typical NPC tradition: they let the players do all the dirty and hard work, while the players just wait to reap the rewards.

However, before the fight begins, Xiao Yu still needs to check the team composition.

King's Return: Level 2 Skeleton Swordsman.

Sword of the Fallen Angel: Level 2 Skeleton Mage.

Sweet and Sour Ribs: Level 2 Skeleton Warrior.

Spartacus: Level 2 Skeleton Warrior.

Big Water Cunt: Level 2 Zombie.

Wesker: Level 2 Zombie.

Black Impermanence: Level 2 Zombie.

White Impermanence: Level 2 demon spirit.

Chenghong Moli: Level 2 Evil Spirit.

You Can't See Me: Level 2 shadow.

Xiao Yu thought to himself that it was not bad; at least they were all level 2, and they had all advanced, so their combat power should have improved a lot compared to before.

Before entering the instance, the usual procedure applies: conduct reconnaissance in the shadows, and then take action.

"You Can't See Me, go in and scout ahead."

"Understood!" You Can't See Me reply, and immediately sped off towards Poli Village.

In reality, the only use for shadows is reconnaissance. They can become invisible, pass through walls, and even teleport images. Their combat power is about the same as that of an un-advanced ghost. You Can't See Me for a while and I'll be back.

"Mission accomplished." As he spoke, he transmitted images of the village to everyone.

There are four bosses in sequence from the dungeon entrance to the inside. The first one is the militia captain at the village gate, accompanied by four militiamen.

The second is the blacksmith in the blacksmith shop, with a blacksmith apprentice beside him. This blacksmith is all muscle and carries a big iron hammer, so he should be a very tough boss.

The third boss is a group of three lost adventurers in a tavern, along with a bunch of villagers drinking nearby.

The fourth is the village chief and Priest of Poli Village, who lives in a small church at the end of the village. Because the church emits a holy light, You Can't See Me didn't dare to go in. I can't guess what's inside.

Besides, there are over a hundred villagers in the village, but they don't seem to have much fighting power and are quite scattered, so they're more like the mobs in the dungeon.

Xiao Yu pondered for a moment, "Very good, then the tactics are simple: melee fighters charge in for hand-to-hand combat, while skeleton mages and demon spirits provide ranged support. With our numerical advantage, we should be able to win."

After saying that, the group of Undead headed towards the gate of Poli Village. Because it was night, they easily approached the gate without being discovered, taking advantage of the darkness.

Hiding behind a mound of earth, Xiao Yu observed the gate and immediately noticed a problem: the village gate was actually closed from the inside.

Xiao Yu examined the gate for a while. The gate seemed to have high durability. If he rushed over and tried to break it open, the militia archers on the wall would definitely attack. He estimated that at least a few people would die before he could break the gate open. Then, it would be difficult to win a hand-to-hand fight with the militia captain who was waiting in ambush.

What should we do? Suddenly, Xiao Yu had a brilliant idea.

"Chenghong Moli, it's up to you this time. Find an opportunity to control a militiaman, sneak the door open, and signal us as soon as it's open, then we'll rush in together."

"Hehe, don't worry!"

After saying that, the Chenghong Moli took flight.

Evil spirits do not have the ability to attack directly, but they do have the ability to Possession.

However, demons have a weakness compared to shadows: they can only be invisible in the dark. If there is light, they will become visible. Also, demons cannot pass through walls.

Chenghong Moli flew to the top of an arrow tower, glanced at the location of the torches, and immediately calculated a route for infiltration. As a National Guard Bureau agent, even a novice would find infiltration missions in this game quite easy with her training.

Following the shadows forward, they soon approached the two militiamen near the city gate.

"Hey, haven't you noticed it's a bit cold around here?" a militiaman asked.

"It's a bit cold, it's unbelievable, how can it be so cold in October?"

The two militiamen said this, but showed no intention of separating. Chenghong Moli had no choice but to go around to the other side of the gate. One of the militiamen was warming himself by the fire, and was obviously unable to control himself in the light. The other militiaman went to the darkness on the side, seemingly about to urinate.

Right now, just as the militiaman came out to urinate, Chenghong Moli suddenly rushed out from behind him and burrowed into his body, activating her Possession skill.

The Possession ability of evil spirits is not guaranteed to succeed. The victim will have to make a will test. If their mental strength is high enough, they can resist the possession. Moreover, if they take precautions beforehand, the chance of resisting possession is even higher. Furthermore, the Possession ability can only be used in the dark, and if the evil spirit fails to Possession, the victim will suffer serious damage as a result.

As soon as the Chenghong Moli entered the militiaman's body, his will immediately resisted. However, unfortunately, he was just an ordinary militiaman, and he was suddenly attacked. Under the shock, his willpower was very weak, and he quickly failed the willpower test. His eyes rolled back, and he was possessed by the Chenghong Moli.

Chenghong Moli looked down and couldn't help but stick out her tongue. This control over a man's body was really quite strange.

However, business was more important, so he thought to himself as he walked towards the foot of the stockade wall.

"Hey, what are you doing?" the militiaman who was warming himself by the fire shouted.

"It's nothing, I'll go to the tavern and get something to eat. Do you want anything?"

The militiaman warming himself by the fire listened without a doubt, "Bring me two roasted potatoes."

As Chenghong Moli agreed, she walked to the foot of the city wall, removed the wooden stick wedged behind the gate, gently pushed the gate open, and waved to the crowd outside.

"Now!" Xiao Yu suddenly stood up from behind the mound of earth. "Comrades, follow me!"
