Hu Die Lan
Chapter 568 Don't Quite Remember
The players from Happy Sheep's team began to enter the dungeon one after another. Happy Sheep received a message from the team's real MT. This was clearly a decent person who didn't want to see Invincible Most Handsome make a fool of himself, and also out of safety concerns.
"Well, let him try it out first, but keep a close eye on him. If he can't handle it, take over quickly. Put in the extra effort," Happy Sheep instructed.
"Alright!" The team's original MT, Seven Leaves One Branch Flower, didn't show any displeasure at Happy Sheep's arrangement and simply acknowledged it before saying anything else.
Happy Sheep was very satisfied. Their team's MT, Seven Leaves One Branch Flower, was a truly good person. Unlike many MTs who would scold the healers for not healing well enough whenever the team wiped, regardless of who was at fault, Seven Leaves One Branch Flower would always say, "My fault..." and then analyze all his mistakes.
And now, he had asked him to keep a close eye on things. He could foresee that if something went wrong and caused losses, Seven Leaves One Branch Flower would blame himself again. He was such a nice guy, even to someone as arrogant and self-destructive as Invincible Most Handsome.
Thinking about this, Happy Sheep felt a bit emotional and made up his mind that if something really went wrong, he would never let Seven Leaves One Branch Flower take the blame again. His own brothers were one thing, but what kind of person was this? He was courting death himself, why should the honest Seven Leaves One Branch Flower share the burden for him?
Having made up his mind, Happy Sheep looked around and saw that everyone had already entered the dungeon. He quickly stepped into the teleportation array and was transported into the hundred-player dungeon: Sky-High Tomb.
The Sky-High Tomb, as the name suggests, was a tomb floating in the air. The dungeon had nine mini-bosses, each guarding a magic mechanism. After defeating these nine mini-bosses and destroying the nine mechanisms, the Sky-High Tomb would lose its floating effect and fall to the ground. At this point, the true guardian of the Sky-High Tomb would appear, who was the final boss of this dungeon. Defeating him would mean a 100% completion. The hidden boss of this dungeon was the ghost of the tomb's owner.
The appearance of a hidden boss in a hundred-player dungeon was exactly the same as in a normal small dungeon: it depended on luck. The only difference was that the hidden boss in a hundred-player dungeon could be fought last, or not at all. It would never suddenly jump out in the middle of the dungeon like in a normal dungeon. After all, in a hundred-player dungeon, every bit of progress meant a bit of reward. It would be too frustrating if a hidden boss suddenly jumped out in the middle, with strength surpassing the final boss, and caused everyone to wipe. If the hidden boss was successfully killed, there would be a 20% bonus completion reward, which would be given to the players whether they cleared the dungeon or not.
This week was Happy Sheep's team's first time in the Sky-High Tomb. When they first entered the dungeon, everyone paid attention to whether there was a system notification about a hidden boss. Happy Sheep was the last one to enter, but before entering, he had already seen everyone in the channel regretting that they hadn't seen any hidden boss.
Although there was no hidden boss, this dungeon run had another interesting aspect. At this moment, Invincible Most Handsome stood at the front, holding his sword and shield, with no one around him. The other players were keeping a distance from him as if he were a plague. Happy Sheep found it amusing, but then he saw Seven Leaves One Branch Flower walk out of the crowd and stand next to Invincible Most Handsome.
"You're the MT, I'll be the sub-MT. If you can't hold it, let me know. Don't force yourself," Seven Leaves One Branch Flower said honestly.
"Oh? Only a sub-MT? What about the 3rd MT and 4th MT?" Ye Xiu asked.
The 3rd and 4th MTs were originally the sub-MT and 3rd MT. Now that Invincible Most Handsome had become the MT, and Seven Leaves One Branch Flower had demoted himself to sub-MT, they had naturally become the 3rd and 4th MTs. The most tragic was the original 4th MT, who had become the 5th MT after this shift... But the Sky-High Tomb dungeon didn't need a 5th MT! He immediately burst into tears.
The former sub-MT and 3rd MT, now the 3rd and 4th MTs, were clearly not good-natured like Seven Leaves One Branch Flower. After being called out by Invincible Most Handsome and seeing Seven Leaves One Branch Flower's gaze turning to find them in the crowd, they reluctantly stepped forward.
"Everyone, be energetic and cheer up!" Ye Xiu shouted.
"..." Everyone wanted to send a middle finger emoji but held back.
"Are the healers ready?" Ye Xiu asked again.
"..." Again, no one answered. Fortunately, Happy Sheep was among the healers. As the guild leader, he would try his best to maintain the team's atmosphere. He stood up and replied, "Ready." The other healers were immediately embarrassed and stood up as well.
"Damage dealers..."
"Okay, okay, okay, ready!"
This time, Ye Xiu only managed to say half a sentence before the damage dealers impatiently interrupted him. This guy had been nagging on and on, as if he really thought he was some kind of god!
"I was going to say that the damage dealers don't need to be too eager," Ye Xiu said with a smile.
"..." The damage dealers were finally rendered speechless.
"Then I'll start the fight?" Ye Xiu asked.
Go to hell! Everyone thought. The healers really wanted to pretend to disconnect, and the non-healers really wanted to tie up all the healers.
Unfortunately, these were all unrealistic. Guild Leader Happy Sheep said "Start," and Invincible Most Handsome immediately rushed forward. In everyone's eyes, even his running posture was incredibly awkward.
"He's going to die soon," someone said in a deep voice.
"Yes." It wasn't convenient for everyone to speak in the channel, but they could still whisper in voice chat in groups of three or five. If this Invincible Most Handsome only looked at the boss in the strategy guide, then he might have overlooked many problems, such as this moment when entering the mausoleum... But no one was thinking of reminding him. Everyone was waiting to see this guy make a fool of himself!
"Be careful, there are traps at the entrance!" But then someone shouted. Everyone recognized the voice; it was their original MT, Seven Leaves One Branch Flower.
"Sigh..." Everyone sighed. Seven Leaves One Branch Flower was really too honest and kind.
"Eh?" Ye Xiu responded.
"Hahaha, look at him, he looks like he's having a seizure! What's he doing?" Just as the "Eh" sound came out, Invincible Most Handsome suddenly twitched. Someone was already prepared to laugh, but as soon as the words left his mouth, he saw a cold light suddenly rise up beside Invincible Most Handsome. It was a long spear jumping out of the ground.
Clang clang clang clang clang clang!
The sounds continued non-stop. One long spear after another broke out of the ground, all from where Invincible Most Handsome was standing. However, not a single one hit him, because Invincible Most Handsome kept twitching. It was disgusting to watch, but every twitch was just enough to let him brush past a spear that had just emerged from the ground.
"Is he dodging?"
Everyone was surprised. They had clearly seen it, but they still couldn't believe it, because the range of motion was too fast and too small.
Surviving the spear trap was not rare. The traps at this entrance had been figured out by countless players falling in battle. Every player in Happy Sheep's team knew how to walk through without triggering them at all. But to be completely unharmed while triggering the traps was the first time they had ever seen it.
"Oh, there are traps here. Right, I forgot." Everyone heard Invincible Most Lonely mutter, and then he turned back to them and shouted, "There are traps here, everyone be careful!"
Damn it, who needs you to tell us that!! Everyone once again resisted the urge to send a middle finger emoji.
"Amazing, he can dodge them all." At this time, Seven Leaves One Branch Flower had followed Invincible Most Lonely.
"Nah, nah, you're not bad either!" Ye Xiu said.
"You don't need to trigger the traps. If you forgot, just follow me!" Seven Leaves One Branch Flower walked ahead.
Seven Leaves, do you have to be so kind! Everyone was in tears, but then they thought to themselves, Invincible Most Handsome, with such an arrogant name, would probably proudly say, "No need, I can just walk through the traps!"
But what they actually heard was: "Really? That saves trouble? How do I walk? Let me see." With that, Invincible Most Handsome decisively followed behind Seven Leaves One Branch Flower. Everyone was speechless again.
And so, the traps at the entrance, except for the initial long spears that Invincible Most Handsome had triggered, were finally passed safely, as usual, following the safe path that countless pioneering sacrifices had discovered.
"Has everyone come through?" Then everyone heard Invincible Most Handsome asking them.
"We're through." The voice was extremely weak, and only a very small number of people were willing to answer.
Invincible Most Handsome didn't seem to mind at all. He stood at the intersection after passing through the traps and turned around in a circle twice. "Two paths? Hmm? Wait for me, let me look at the strategy guide."
"Okay, okay, you don't need to look, go left first," Happy Sheep said weakly.
"Okay." Invincible Most Handsome strode off to the left.
"You..." Happy Sheep only said one word before stopping himself. The others were instantly overjoyed, but in the end, someone still spoke up. "Be careful!"
Just as the words were spoken, the two sturdy stone statues standing on either side of the left entrance suddenly moved with incredible speed.
The two stone swords had no special effects, but they whistled as they cut through the air, attacking Invincible Most Handsome, who was just a few steps into their attack range.
"Ah yo!" Invincible Most Handsome cried out and quickly rolled forward to dodge.
"I fuck!!" This brilliant dodge resulted in an angry roar from Happy Sheep. As the guild leader, he had been relatively tolerant of Invincible Most Handsome, but at this moment, he cursed out the fastest. The reason was still because he was the guild leader, and he would mercilessly scold anyone who caused problems.
Invincible Most Handsome rolled forward, dodging the initial cross slash of the two statues, but rolled into the attack range of the second pair of statues. In a fit of anger, he had triggered four statues!
Every single soldier in a hundred-player dungeon was at the level of a normal small dungeon boss.
Stronger teams might open four statues at once to kill, but Happy Sheep's team, for safety's sake, could only confidently kill one at a time. But after they became more familiar with it, they gradually started killing two at a time, and they would still be on edge from time to time. But this time, this newcomer, with his incredibly mocking ID, had actually opened four for them at once.
What did he think they were? The main team of Tyrannical Ambition?
