In the Mercenary Guild, it was already late at night. However, to the mercenaries, the night had just begun.
In the past few years, the Mercenary Guild's nights were spent in the aroma of alcohol and roasted meat. Today, it was a group of people staring at the Magic Net and clicking on their keyboards.
The Archer was one of them. After downloading the World Scar in the afternoon, he spent almost half a day to reach Level 15.
"I'm already Level 15! Where are you guys? "
The Archer controlled his character and ran all the way to the entrance of the Dark Mines Instance Dungeon.
He had killed his way through a group of people.
As there were too many players near the Beginner's Village, even if the game officials added two new servers and multiple players attacked the same monster, they would still receive EXP from the monster.
The Archer was shocked by the fact that there were more players than monsters in the wilderness.
Usually, when his mercenary group went hunting in the dangerous wilderness, they were considered lucky to meet one or two of their peers. However, in this world, there were only peers and no monsters!
Of course, this was just a metaphor.
The Archer had his wish fulfilled and joined the Scarlet Viper Guild.
Currently, more than half of the members of the Yafferk Snake Mercenary Group had joined the Scarlet Viper Guild in the game.
With the addition of the Archer, there were exactly 15 members. Rona led his team to challenge the Heroic Mode Dark Mines Instance Dungeon.
"Leska, pay attention to the red circle under your feet!"
Rona took on the role of the overall commander of the entire team in the game.
"Toram, release ice … no … don't let your pet run around!"
As the advisor and commander of the Yafferk Snake Mercenary Group, Rona could always command his members to coordinate perfectly in real life. However, he was flustered in the game.
Many of the members' characters and classes were completely different from those in real life.
"We're done. Everyone, recover your HP. We'll start the leader battle later."
Under such circumstances, the members of the Scarlet Viper Guild managed to clear the monsters in the first region. It was a pity that the monsters didn't drop any useful equipment. They only dropped some materials and money.
While Rona was resting, the members of the Scarlet Viper Guild who were in good condition began to explore the Instance Dungeon. This was their occupational hazard.
When the injured members were resting in real life, they could explore the surroundings.
"Rona! There's a goblin here. "
When the Archer was wandering around the Instance Dungeon, he discovered a lone Gnome in a room. According to his experience in the real world, Gnomes were extremely weak creatures.
Therefore, the Archer did not control himself, allowing his character in the game to complete the actions of aiming, drawing the bow, and shooting in one go.
"Gnomes? Damn it! You've provoked a Mine Breaker! "
As soon as Rona shouted the Gnome's name, his character entered battle mode. The next second, he saw the Archer's character dashing towards them.
What made Rona despair was the large group of Magic Dolls following behind the archer.
Rona covered his eyes in despair.
In less than ten seconds, all the members of the Scarlet Viper stared at each other in soul form.
Rona clutched his head, feeling a slight headache coming on. He looked at the fourteen members under his command in the graveyard … For a moment, he didn't know how to fight.
"This doesn't make sense. How could a gnome deal so much damage to me? And where did those Magicite Dolls come from? "
"Because that gnome is a Leader monster! Leader, do you understand? It's the Black-Winged Beast in the Sacred Soul … "
Rona resisted the urge to kick the Archer out of the party. He calmed down and recalled his experience in the Heroic Instance Dungeon.
"Rona, we're lacking a healer."
Morris, who had been silent all this while, reminded Rona.
"You mean a Cleric?" Rona looked at the configuration of his party. There were fifteen people in the party, but not a single Cleric.
When they were fighting against magical beasts in the real world, they didn't have a Cleric. They only had Apothecaries who treated wounds after the battle.
"Can't we just kill the magical beasts? If the situation isn't right, we can just retreat, "the Archer said in confusion.
This was something that a qualified Hunter would often do. They would patiently wait for their prey to bleed to death after inflicting heavy damage on them.
However, the monsters in the World Scar would instantly recover their HP after leaving battle.
"Leader has chosen to leave the Instance Dungeon."
"Magic Bullet has been removed from the party."
"Rona?!" When the Archer regained his senses, he discovered that he had been kicked out of the party.
"None of you play Cleric?"
Rona ignored the Archer and shouted at the members of the Crimson Viper beside him.
Their replies were all shaking their heads. Feeling helpless, Rona could only start recruiting unaffiliated Clerics on the public channel.
"Dark Mines, 15-man Heroic Instance Team, recruiting a Cleric!"
Not long after Rona sent out this message, a series of private messages popped up. He checked the equipment of these Clerics one by one and finally decided on a Cleric named Short Tentacle Wand.
"I have a friend who is also a Cleric. She wants to join us too."
Short Tentacle Wand sent a message to Rona.
"Your friend?"
Rona saw a human female in front of him on the screen. Her name was Tide of Outcasts.
This female character was indeed a Cleric. Her attributes were slightly better than Short Tentacle Wand. Considering that one Cleric might not be able to take care of everyone, Rona reluctantly kicked out another member of his guild.
"You're betraying us!"
The Archer criticized Rona for abandoning his own mercenary group members and bringing outsiders into the Instance Dungeon.
"I'll bring you along next time," Rona said to the Archer seriously.
…
Short Tentacle Wand had almost forgotten how long he had been in this cabin. He had even forgotten to eat and drink.
In his eyes, there was only the World Scar, fighting monsters, and leveling up!
The World Scar had become his new spiritual food. His Short Tentacle Wand had already reached Level-15.
When he was browsing the Spellcaster forum, which had a new section called World Scar, he discovered that the equipment that could be dropped in the wild was at most Blue Quality.
Only in a challenge called the Instance Dungeon could one obtain Purple Quality Epic equipment.
Players were always greedy when it came to equipment, and the Short Tentacle Wand had unknowingly become a part of it.
Hence, he stopped leveling up and wanted to challenge the Instance Dungeon. He was lucky enough to bump into a team … The Scarlet Viper.
"The Lord's HP is close to death. Be careful of the Lord's Blade Flurry … Clerics, pay attention to the HP of the frontline Warriors. Once the Lord does Flurry, cast your maximum healing."
Short Tentacle Wand responded to the voice in the voice chat.
On the battlefield, a Lord monster dressed as a female assassin was slaughtering her teammates in front of her. Short Tentacle Wand kept casting healing spells at the frontline Warriors with shields raised.
The strength of the heroic difficulty monsters was far beyond Short Tentacle Wand's expectations. With his weak body, he would die if he was carelessly touched.
However, the monsters could not touch him at all because the fully-armored Warriors in the team were always at the frontline.
They had now arrived in front of the last leader of the Dark Mines. The leader's HP was also close to zero. It was only a last struggle.
Finally, the leader let out a hateful roar and fell to the ground under the bombardment of a Wizard's Frost Arrow.
At this moment, a series of golden words slowly appeared on the Weave interface.
"Achievement: Conqueror of the Dark Mines!"
"The Scarlet Viper has passed the heroic difficulty of the Dark Mines! Time taken: 47 minutes! Their names will be engraved on the second position of the Hero Stone Tablet! "
Hero Stone Tablet?
Short Tentacle Wand remembered that there was a stone tablet at the entrance of the dungeon. If one clicked on it, they would see a window. The window only had the monotonous words "1. Fuya's Adventure Team: 37 minutes."
At first, Short Tentacle Wand thought that this stone tablet was used to commemorate the great goddess Fuya, but it seemed that was not the case.
"This seems to be the World Scar. Everyone in this world can see it."
A member of the Scarlet Viper sent a message. At this moment, Short Tentacle Wand was stunned. He looked at the message and saw the word "world."
Unfortunately, this honor belonged to the Scarlet Viper Guild. An ordinary person like him did not have the right to enjoy this honor.
"Do you want to join our guild?"
Suddenly, Short Tentacle Wand received a private message from the leader of the team, Snake's Eye.
"Your guild?"
"No one in our guild likes to play as a priest. You and your friend's abilities are very good."
After sending this message, Short Tentacle Wand received an invitation to join the guild.
Short Tentacle Wand did not think too much and immediately clicked to accept the invitation.
"Is this equipment with purple words what you want?"
Just as the wand was communicating with the Snake's Eye, Hemena, who was sitting beside him, suddenly interrupted his thoughts.
"What purple … Didn't I tell you not to touch it?"
Short Tentacle Wand turned to look at Hemina's magic net interface. She had already started searching for the dungeon leader's corpse while the members of the Scarlet Viper Guild were still in a daze.
"Can't I just pick it up? Do I need the leader to decide? "Hemina read out the game's prompt word by word.
"Epic equipment?! Three pieces! "
Short Tentacle Wand looked at the equipment on Hemina's interface. There were a total of five dungeon leaders in the Dark Mines. The first four had dropped two pieces of Epic equipment, but Short Tentacle Wand did not get a single one.
This time, the legendary Epic equipment was only a hand's length away from him, but in reality, it was very far away.
As a newbie who had just joined the guild, he had no right to compete with the others for this equipment.
"We Mages can't equip the amulet. You and Tide of the Outcasts will decide the ownership of Short Tentacle Wand." This message from Snake's Eye made Short Tentacle Wand's heart start beating faster.
Among the weapons that Priests could equip, the staff was the same as Mages, but there was another type of weapon called the amulet that only Priests could equip.
"It's a dice roll!"
Short Tentacle Wand looked at Hemina. For a moment, she had become the world's biggest enemy.
He clicked on the ROLL option with his trembling mouse.
In less than a second, the system instantly showed that Short Tentacle Wand had rolled 20 points.
The moment it saw 20 points, Short Tentacle Wand felt like he had a heart attack. The highest the dice could get was 100 points. 20 points was already considered bad luck.
He gritted his teeth and stared at Hemina. Hemina was frightened by Short Tentacle Wand's expression, but she still gently clicked on the ROLL option.
"Tide of the Outcasts rolled 17 points."
The moment Short Tentacle Wand saw this system prompt, the twisted expression on his face was once again occupied by the word "happiness".
"Short Tentacle Wand has obtained Sicolis' amulet."
The system prompt was like a revelation from God in his eyes. He excitedly stood up from his seat, raised his hands high and cheered out loud.
But the cheering didn't last long. Short Tentacle Wand fell straight to the floor of the cabin. With a happy smile on his face, he directly fell into a state of unconsciousness.
