The eight-member team formed a group and began to walk deeper into the cave. Since it was daytime, the cave was surprisingly bright. After about ten minutes, Yi Tianchen and his companions arrived at a spacious hall within the winding and rugged passage.
Looking around, the hall was scattered with countless fragments of stone and granules of dark soil. Among the chaotic stones and dirt lay some white eggshells covered in slime, while several black-and-white striped Venomous Patterned Snakes slithered lazily around.
"Wow... this is actually a snake den!"
Upon seeing this, the eight of them exchanged glances in surprise. However, although these Venomous Patterned Snakes looked similar to those found in the Forest of Single Trees, they were clearly smaller in size.
Yi Tianchen brandished his Wild Fury and stepped forward, preparing for a counterattack while casting an Identification Technique—
Venomous Patterned Snake Hatchling: Normal Level Monster (Beast)
Level: 25
Attack: 410-520
Defense: 350
Health Points: 4500/4500
Magic Points: 1050/1050
Skills: Venom Spray Lv-2
Note: The hatchlings of the Venomous Patterned Snake may appear weak, but they possess remarkable explosive power and excel in group attacks. Once they latch onto a target, they will not relent until their prey is defeated.
Main Attack Method: With instantaneous explosive force, they spray Venom Attack into the target's eyes, causing temporary blindness for 5 seconds.
Main Weakness Locations: Jaw, Eyes, Seven Inches.
"Level 25 monsters, ordinary ones, just perfect for us to kill!"
Yi Tianchen chuckled and posted the detailed information in the team channel. As soon as he finished speaking, a small commotion broke out among the group. Li Tielong and the others were quite surprised and thrilled by the effectiveness of Yi Tianchen's Identification Technique.
After exchanging a few simple words, the slaughter began!
Locking onto the nearest Venomous Patterned Snake Hatchling, Yi Tianchen charged in with Savage Charge, stunning the target. With a powerful swing of his weapon, the Wild Fury came crashing down, nearly slicing the Venomous Patterned Snake Hatchling into the muddy ground.
Blade Break Slash Lv-1! -1250!
"Whoosh..."
Shaking off the stun, this seemingly insignificant Venomous Patterned Snake Hatchling quickly raised its head and spat out a stream of venom. Having witnessed the potency of the Venomous Patterned Snake's venom before, Yi Tianchen was now extra cautious around this creature.
He quickly dodged but still got splashed by a bit. To his surprise, there was no smoke rising from him, and the damage over time was minimal; it seemed that this hatchling's venom wasn't as formidable as he had feared!
Grabbing a bottle of Fourth-Level Life Potion just in case, Yi Tianchen charged forward and unleashed a flurry of strikes. As his sword danced wildly, damage numbers exceeding a thousand floated up continuously. In an instant, the first Venomous Patterned Snake Hatchling's Vitality was depleted, leaving it limp on the ground.
Meanwhile, Battle was fully engaged...
Li Tielong's class was Knight, specializing in a build focused on high health and defense with a 3:2 distribution of points in constitution and strength. He charged in with his spear and shouted, "Evil Temptation!"
This was one of the Knight's signature skills learned at level 10. Although it had no offensive capabilities, it possessed strong taunting and provoking properties, making it a powerful threat control skill for Knights. It also had an area effect that often proved effective during group battles.
As the skill activated, a thin layer of crimson mist appeared within a radius of five meters around Li Tielong. Under the influence of this blood mist, the nearby Venomous Patterned Snake Hatchlings began to stir restlessly, slithering closer.
"One side, Wanqing, keep an eye on Li Tielong; Venomous Patterned Snakes excel in group combat!"
Seeing this unfold, Yi Tianchen immediately recalled the description of these Venomous Patterned Snake Hatchlings. Realizing that Li Tielong's Evil Temptation would attract as many as seven or eight of them rushing forward, he quickly warned the two priests behind him.
“Understood!” Far Apart fixed his gaze on Li Tielong, readying his Vitality Technique, which he would unleash as soon as the cooldown was over.
Mu Wanqing chuckled lightly and said, “Don’t worry! I used to be the chief priest of King's Studio; handling this little matter is a piece of cake!”
Yi Tianchen paused, unsure how to respond.
“Hahaha… that’s a nice gathering of monsters! Now it’s our turn!” Hero Does Not Question Origin swung his heavy axe and called out to Stinky Fish before charging forward.
Without a moment's delay, Yi Tianchen followed suit with his Wild Fury, taking advantage of Li Tielong drawing all the aggro to deliver a fierce beating to the Venomous Patterned Snake Hatchling. Not far behind, Liu Yuhan’s arrows had already rained down like a storm, hitting their targets with precision.
As an assassin, Lin Yan brandished her dagger and activated her rapid skill buff. With an exceptionally high Critical Hit rate, she frequently dealt over 1500 damage, making her numbers stand out amidst the flurry of damage indicators.
The first wave of Venomous Patterned Snake Hatchlings was quickly eliminated. Although Li Tielong bore some wounds and had traces of blood on him, he remained standing like an iron tower, thanks to the combined healing efforts of two priests, maintaining his Health Points above 50%.
Up ahead, Hero Does Not Question Origin laughed in delight, “Haha… we got some loot!”
Before Hero Does Not Question Origin could reach for it, Yi Tianchen swiftly cast an Identification Technique, revealing a flash of green light—
Green Guardian Cloak: Bronze Item
Defense: 40
Agility: +4
Type: Cloak
Required Level: 20
…
In the Zero Era, capes, like jewelry, are not categorized by profession but are instead distinguished by their actual attributes to determine suitability. Clearly, the current green Guardian Cape increases Agility by 4 points, making it most suitable for assassins or archers.
“Lin Yan, this cape is for you!”
Yi Tianchen handed the cape directly to Lin Yan. Among the group, only Liu Yuhan and Lin Yan were suitable for it, and Liu Yuhan already had a level 20 Bloodwood Set, so she didn't need it. Following the principle of making the best use of resources, the cape naturally belonged to Lin Yan.
Lin Yan giggled as she accepted the cape and put it in her bag. “Hehe... I won’t be polite then! It’s a pity I’m only level 18; I still have quite a way to go before reaching level 20!”
The group continued to advance amidst laughter...
Before they knew it, two hours had passed. Yi Tianchen and his eight companions swept from one end of the hall to the other, slaying countless Venomous Patterned Snake Hatchlings.
“Hey... come look over here! There’s a cave!” As the battle eased, Far Apart momentarily distracted himself, squatting in front of a rock wall and waving at Yi Tianchen and the others.
The group paused; they were already in a cave, so discovering another cave within it shouldn’t be too surprising, right?
Nevertheless, they all walked over together. Upon closer inspection, they found a hole less than a meter in diameter leading underground. The winding passage turned at a depth of over ten meters, so they couldn’t ascertain its exact depth.
However, Yi Tianchen quickly noticed that the walls surrounding this inner cave were exceptionally smooth, as if polished over many years. Of course, no one would come here to polish it. Thus, it could only be attributed to some other form of abrasion.
For instance, something about the same size as this hole might frequently enter and exit, causing friction against the rock walls...
“President, Brother Luomu, should we go down?” Hero Does Not Question Origin asked excitedly, clearly possessing a strong sense of adventure.
Yi Tianchen was taken aback. Should they go down or not?
Moreover, there’s an old saying: fortune favors the bold. What could be lurking in this inner cave was shrouded in mystery and temptation!
“Let’s go down!”
After a moment of contemplation, Yi Tianchen tightened his grip on the Rage of the Wilderness. Liu Yuhan remained silent, tacitly accepting Yi Tianchen's decision.
Given that the cave was extremely smooth and narrow, everyone could only enter one by one. Leading the way was Hero Does Not Question Origin, followed by Far Apart, Stinky Fish, Li Tielong, Yi Tianchen, Lin Yan, Mu Wanqing, and finally Liu Yuhan bringing up the rear.
They had been sliding down for nearly half an hour, and everyone's spirits had dampened significantly. Initially, they thought this passage would take no more than ten minutes to traverse, but now they had already spent several times that amount without seeing an end in sight, leaving them in a dilemma.
Could this cave lead to hell?
Yi Tianchen was taken aback by this thought, feeling quite awkward. But soon he felt even more uncomfortable as he remembered that he was a great Hell Swordsman—wasn't he just returning home?
Just as Yi Tianchen was reassuring himself, he suddenly heard Lin Yan exclaim from above, "Ah! Wanqing, you stepped on me!"
"Woo... I can't hold on anymore!" Mu Wanqing exclaimed.
Yi Tianchen shouted in alarm as he heard the two girls scream. Suddenly feeling a weight pressing down on him, he realized that Mu Wanqing had stepped on Lin Yan, who in turn lost her balance and stepped onto Yi Tianchen's shoulder. With the added weight of both girls and the already slippery stone wall making it hard to gain traction, Yi Tianchen found himself sliding down uncontrollably.
As expected, with this slide, Yi Tianchen ended up stepping on Li Tielong, who let out a startled cry and then stepped onto Stinky Fish. This chain reaction continued down the line until all seven people were tumbling down like a powerless airplane, with only Liu Yuhan at the top remaining unscathed…
