Chapter 120 Featherfall Gem

"Featherfall Gem? What is that? We've done the Treant Forest five or six times, and we haven't gotten anything like that," Dusk said in surprise.

Dusk naturally didn't know what a Featherfall Gem was, because Featherfall Gems only dropped on Expert difficulty, and only from the Treant King. The difficulty of the dungeon would change based on the level of the players in the party. The more high-level people there were, the higher the dungeon difficulty.

It wasn't an easy task for players to clear Expert-difficulty Treant Forest. Even the elite parties of the large guilds couldn't complete it easily, so that Featherfall Gem was even more precious.

"You'll find out when the time comes," Nie Yan said with a faint smile.

Dusk was a little puzzled, but he thought, since Nie Yan wasn't saying, he'd just follow the party and see what happened!

"This brother Tang Yao's equipment is too strange. Logically speaking, how could an arcane mage be wearing a Fire Chaser set?" Dusk said with some surprise.

As a party leader, if a Fire Chaser set dropped in a dungeon, they would definitely prioritize equipping an elemental mage, but they had equipped an arcane mage. This was too strange.

Nie Yan smiled faintly and didn't explain.

Tang Yao blushed slightly. He was a little self-conscious wearing this Fire Chaser set, and he secretly made up his mind that he had to get a top-tier arcane mage set himself, so he could truly have some face.

"Nie Yan, how do you know the chairman of the Holy Roman Empire?" Yao Yao asked with her watery eyes wide open, like a curious baby.

"It's not as mysterious as you guys say." Nie Yan simply recounted what happened in Link Town yesterday, but omitted the previous Courage Chapter incident.

"But I still think you're amazing," Yao Yao said very seriously. Otherwise, Half-Asleep Fox wouldn't have praised Nie Yan so highly.

"I think it's a little strange. How could a draconic creature run into a town for no reason? Elite-grade and Lord-grade creatures generally don't leave their activity areas." Dusk said, puzzled. Such things were truly rare.

Nie Yan glanced at the Courage Chapter in his backpack, hoping that no one would connect the appearance of the Order Guardian with him.

"What's so strange about that? The main brain created a monster siege to add some fun for the players. It seems like such things aren't uncommon," Tang Yao said matter-of-factly, inadvertently helping Nie Yan out of a tight spot.

"Maybe," Dusk nodded.

A group of more than twenty people passed through a wide-open grassland. In the distance, at the foot of the mountain, they saw a dense forest, lush and green, with mist lingering around it. This place was about ten minutes away from Drak Town and was a famous twenty-person dungeon map nearby, the Treant Forest.

There were many players active at the entrance of the Treant Forest, mostly in groups of twenty. They had also come to do the dungeon.

"The Treant Forest is lively now, there are a lot of people."

"The players' levels have gone up, and if they want good equipment, they can only do dungeons in a party."

Treant Forest was still relatively difficult, and the equipment that dropped was much better than in ordinary dungeons. Many parties couldn't clear Treant Forest, but it was still good to grind ordinary monsters inside to get equipment. If they couldn't handle it, they could retreat. Although the party honor would drop a lot, most parties weren't elite parties and didn't need party honor much. Party honor could drop, as long as the party didn't wipe.

Currently in Faith, there were a total of thirty-six twenty-person dungeons within five levels, distributed throughout the Greenland Empire, with varying degrees of difficulty. Among them, there were six high-difficulty dungeons, which could only be entered after the party honor reached a certain level. The other dungeons didn't require much party honor.

"37 Spell Damage Holy Word Priest, LFG Treant Forest." (Looking For Group)

"35 Defense, 1700 HP, 67 Attack Berserker LFG Treant Forest!"

The entrance to the Treant Forest was very lively, and many players were shouting to form groups. Seeing Nie Yan and the others come over, they all ran over to ask.

"Boss, group me."

"Brothers, is your party missing anyone?"

Bai Kaishui stepped forward to deal with them, saying, "There are no empty spots, everyone please disperse."

Those players could only leave in disappointment.

"You guys wait here for a while, I'll go activate the dungeon," Nie Yan said, walking towards a luminous boulder at the entrance of the Treant Forest. He walked up to the boulder, reached out, and touched it. A strange feeling welled up from the bottom of his heart.

'Before this lush forest, you discover some strange words carved on this strange boulder: Forest walkers, they absorb dew in the early morning sun. The shepherd's flute floats through the woods, awakening from ancient times, the sleeping souls of the trees. The councilors of the Greenland Elders say that there are traces of dark elves in the forest. You mutter to yourself: These damned dark elves, why don't they ever stop.'

System: Do you choose to enter Treant Forest?

Yes!

Nie Yan clicked confirm.

System: Please select the difficulty of the dungeon: Simple, Normal, Hard, Master, Expert?

Expert!

System: Are you sure?

Yes!

Nie Yan clicked Expert difficulty. A white light flashed, and when Nie Yan and the others opened their eyes again, they were already in a lush forest, shaded by green trees. Although rays of sunlight shone down through the cracks in the trees, the whole environment still seemed a little gloomy.

System: You have entered the Treant Forest dungeon, difficulty: Expert!

The other nineteen team members also received this message, and they looked at each other in dismay.

"How is it Expert?"

"Captain Nie Yan, did you choose the wrong one? How is it Expert difficulty?"

"Yeah, Expert difficulty, how can we possibly clear it?" The team members were all anxious.

Yu Lan looked at Nie Yan, but saw that Nie Yan's expression was natural. How could someone like Nie Yan make such a low-level mistake? Could it be that Nie Yan deliberately chose Expert difficulty? No one had dared to try Expert difficulty Treant Forest yet. Even the lowest-level and simplest dungeons would be ridiculously difficult once Expert difficulty was selected, let alone Expert difficulty Treant Forest.

"Since I brought you in here, I naturally have a way to take you out," Nie Yan said calmly.

"What big words are you saying? No team has ever cleared an Expert difficulty dungeon. Do you think we can? Our team hasn't even cleared Simple difficulty Treant Forest. Don't put our whole team in danger just to show off," Chen Bo mocked, his tone extremely unkind.

"Is he your friend?" Seeing Chen Bo's insolence, Dusk couldn't stand it anymore. He glanced at Nie Yan and asked.

"No," Nie Yan shook his head.

"If a teammate in our party dared to be so rude to our captain, our captain would have kicked him out a long time ago. Why would he let him talk so much nonsense?" Dusk sneered, looking at Nie Yan, "Brother Nie is really good-tempered."

Dusk thought that Nie Yan dared to choose Expert difficulty Treant Forest, so he must have some certainty. This was interesting. He had only come to join the party for fun, but he didn't expect to gain something else.

Chen Bo was annoyed, but he couldn't help it, Dusk was invited by Bai Kaishui. If he offended Dusk, it would be equivalent to offending Bai Kaishui as well, and he would definitely be more isolated in the party.

"Chen Bo, Nie Yan is a friend I invited. If you have any opinions about me, just say it directly," Yao Yao frowned slightly. Nie Yan didn't argue with Chen Bo, probably because of her. If she didn't say a few words for Nie Yan, she would be too unreasonable.

"Yao Yao, it's not like that," Chen Bo quickly explained when he saw Yao Yao was angry.

Yao Yao snorted coldly and turned her head away.

"I was just invited by them, and I'll leave after doing Treant Forest. Everyone is just cooperating, I'm not any captain. The real captain is this beauty," Nie Yan pointed to Yu Lan next to him and explained to Dusk. He wasn't a good-tempered person, Chen Bo had indeed angered him. He decided to teach Chen Bo a good lesson, but fighting with this kind of person would lower his status.

"Chen Bo, you shut up next, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite," Yu Lan scolded, and said apologetically to Nie Yan and the others, "That's just how he is, I apologize to Brother Nie Yan on his behalf."

Yu Lan also felt very ashamed. She and Chen Bo had been classmates for more than ten years, and their parents were good colleagues. She couldn't do things too harshly.

He didn't expect Yu Lan to speak up for a few outsiders. Chen Bo glared at Nie Yan and Dusk venomously.

Dusk also felt that arguing with Chen Bo would demean him, so he changed the subject and said, "Brother Nie Yan must have been prepared, otherwise he wouldn't have chosen Expert difficulty." Dusk was a subordinate of Half-Asleep Fox, and he also wanted to see how capable Nie Yan was.

"Actually, Expert difficulty isn't very difficult, it's just that the HP is 30% higher, and the requirements for the shield warrior's defense and the mage's output are slightly higher. The Treant King changes greatly, and I will remind you then," Nie Yan said confidently.

Nie Yan spoke easily, but Dusk understood what it meant to have 30% more HP in a dungeon. When doing a dungeon, slight deviations, a 1% difference in HP, a little less defense, or a point or two of missing spell damage could lead to the party wiping. Where did Nie Yan's confidence come from?
