BXBX NOVEL Chapter 397: Reclamation
Bloody Prison Cage, this dungeon was not very complicated; it was just a temporary detention area for suspects at the police station. However, after the game expansion, it had become much more extensive, several times larger than the entire police station.
Upon entering the dungeon gate, there were dozens of stone steps about seven or eight meters long, surrounded by no monsters; it served as an adaptation area after entering the dungeon.
The dungeon was filled with a strong smell of blood; the surrounding walls were also smeared with dark red marks. In the deeper parts of the dungeon, horrible wails and brutal roars could be heard from time to time. The atmosphere of the entire dungeon was oppressive and irritable.
At the bottom of the stone steps where the five stood was a corridor leading all the way to the end, less than a hundred meters away. Song Jian could even vaguely see a burly figure walking back and forth in an open room at the end of the corridor, occasionally letting out an angry roar.
“Brother Song, be careful. As soon as we descend these stone steps, it will immediately attract four small monsters to attack us…” Wang Qi whispered, explaining from the side.
The four of them had entered twice before, but were stopped in front of the stone steps every time. No matter what they did, as soon as they stepped off the stone steps, they’d attract four small monsters.
“Four? Just Elite level small monsters, you four couldn’t beat them?” Song Jian asked, somewhat surprised. He had already seen four muscular zombies wearing police uniforms wandering around the stone steps.
“They are level 15 Elite monsters, much stronger than those monsters outside. Four at once, Ma Yu alone wouldn’t be able to withstand them.” Zhou Qing, a Thief next to him, said with doubt.
“Alright, Ma Yu and 1 will take two of them each.” Song Jian glanced at the four of them, their equipment was indeed of low grade; it would be somewhat difficult to kill four level 15 Elite monsters at once.
“Aren’t you a Swordman? Can you withstand two small monsters? Mage Zhou Qing asked, surprised.
It was well known that Swordmen could only wear leather armor. After reaching level 30 and learning the passive skill “Scale Armor Mastery,” they could wear the higher-tiered Scale Armor. Moreover, Swordmen couldn’t equip shields, so they usually held a supporting role in output damage within dungeons. Many times, their output damage was even less than that of thieves, let alone mages.
“Let’s try and see.” Song Jian smiled.
“Fine, Brother Song and I will each take two small monsters. You guys should prioritize attacking the small monsters that Brother Song pulls, and use your full power. After we kill those, we will take care of the two I’m holding,” Ma Yu said, lifting his shield and yelling as he rushed down the stone steps.
As soon as Ma Yu stepped onto the stone steps, the four patrolling police zombies immediately pulled out their batons from their waists, slapping them down with a “swish” sound while the formerly short batons instantly extended more than a foot long, emanating dark metallic luster.
“Bloody Guard Zombie: Elite Level, Level 15, Vitality Points: 1800/1800, Characteristics: Fury, Skills: Fists and Feet kicks.”
All four monsters lunged towards Ma Yu, who raised his shield and let out a loud roar. An invisible force erupted from him, instantly attracting all the monsters’ aggro onto himself.
“Brother Song, quickly take two of them! Ma Yu can’t hold all four alone. Wang Qi’s face displayed anxiety.
Song Jian nodded, stomped his left foot, and a fang-shaped air mass with a sharp whistling sound rushed towards a Bloody Guard Zombie.
With a “swish,” the zombie that was targeted by Earth Teeth Assault was hit like it had been struck by a car, flying away and taking over a hundred damage points. The damage instantly stole aggro from Ma Yu.
Then, Song Jian flicked his right hand, and a dark red long sword materialized in his palm. Song Jian gripped it tightly and slashed forward. A dazzling golden light blasted another monster lunging towards Ma Yu.
This strike reduced the monster’s Vitality Points by over five hundred. The three people behind him were dumbfounded.
“I didn’t see it wrong just now, did I? Was that five hundred and ninety points of damage?” Thief Tang Rong couldn’t believe his eyes, rubbing them vigorously as he spoke.
“This is too exaggerated. 1 feel like there’s no need for us to go up and help. He could clear this dungeon all by himself!” Priest Zhou Qing showed an indescribable expression, seemingly a bit depressed.
“As expected, the person who’s ranked first on the level glory list!” Wang Qi’s face broke into a grin, not expecting Song Jian to be so powerful.
Sweeping Sword Style!
Watching the two small monsters rushing towards him, Song Jian brandished his long sword and chopped at them.
“Come on, come on, don’t just watch, hurry up and output damage! If you don’t contribute anything, how can you have the nerve to share equipment with others later?” Wang Qi whispered a reminder, lifting his firearm and shooting towards the two monsters Ma Yu was holding.
The original plan was to kill the two monsters Song Jian was holding first, then help Ma Yu, but after glancing at the two monsters being ravaged by Song Jian, the three of them targeted the ones Ma Yu was holding without any further discussion.
Seeing his companions focus-fire the two monsters he was holding, Ma Yu couldn’t help but become anxious. He thought there might be some conflict between his party members and Song Jian, and they wanted to harm the latter.
“Don’t mind me, help Brother Song kill the monsters first! He’s only a Swordman, so he can’t hold on as well as me…” Ma Yu anxiously shouted.
“Just take care of yourself. The two monsters Brother Song is dealing with are almost dead already.” Tang Rong, who had activated his stealth ability, said irritably before brandishing his dagger and stabbing the back of a monster’s head that Ma Yu was holding.
“What?” Ma Yu was stunned. He glanced to the side and saw Song Jian easily handling his two monsters, and his eyes widened in disbelief, his mouth agape.
Broken Wing Dance!
Boom! Boom! Boom-
Two monsters could only deal twenty to thirty points of damage to Song Jian. For a person with 1,460 Vitality Points like Song Jian, this damage was like a tickle.
In just thirty seconds, Song Jian killed both monsters. He didn’t even bother looking at the loot they dropped, and charged towards the monsters Ma Yu was holding.
Soon, the remaining two “guard dogs” let out a miserable scream and fell to their knees, becoming corpses.
“Did we kill them just like that?” Tang Rong couldn’t believe it. Those four “guard dogs” had previously tormented them, almost killing all four of them. However, now, it took less than a minute to eliminate all four monsters. It made them doubt if they had entered the same dungeon as before.
“Brother Song, thank you so much.” Wang Qi excitedly thanked him.
“No need,” Song Jian smiled and said, “The Experience Points from the small monsters in this dungeon is quite high. It’s much more efficient than leveling up by fighting monsters outside.”
Because it was the first time clearing the dungeon, the monsters inside provided higher Experience Points than usual. Moreover, a five-person team would also get team rewards. Killing one small monster would grant 180% Experience Points per person on average.
With such high Experience Points, Song Jian, who was already level 20, was quite satisfied. After clearing this dungeon, he might even level up again.
