The NPC who handed in the quest was an Elf Bandit. She hid at the entrance of the Instance Dungeon in Stealth. If not for sticking close to her, no one would have noticed her at all!
After the five of them handed in the quest, the NPC said, "Heroes of the Alliance, look at what the Wizard who was seduced by the devil has done! Snow Spirit City used to be such a beautiful city, but that Dark Wizard has destroyed it all! Right now, he is coiled up in the main hall of the Imperial City. You must kill him in order to save this city! "
"However, to enter the main palace and defeat Mazawi, you must first defeat his four subordinates before you can pass through the front and middle palace! Those four subordinates are monsters created by Mazawi using Dark Magic and Elemental Essence. Adventurers, you must be careful. These Elemental Elves are not easy to deal with! "
"Ding! Ranger Xue Wei has issued a quest to you: Clear the Minions. Do you accept? "
Accept.
Clear the Minions (Quest Difficulty: A)
Quest Description: For the Alliance, brave adventurers, open the path to the main palace, kill Mazawi, and save Snow Spirit City!

Quest Reward: Enter Mazawi's Lair: Main Palace.
Zhang Yang changed the difficulty to Death Mode and said, "Let's enter!"
The five of them entered the Instance Dungeon and appeared at the entrance of a palace. However, the pillars were destroyed, and the surroundings were bleak. Not far away, two Water Elementals were patrolling, their transparent bodies flowing with liquid. They held a shield in their left hand and a spear in their right.
"Yang, why don't we start with Easy Mode?" Fatty Han asked.
"Easy Mode drops Level-10 Black Iron Equipment, Hard Mode drops Level-20 Black Iron Equipment. We all have Level-10 Bronze Equipment, and there is no difference in attributes between Level-20 Black Iron Equipment and Level-10 Bronze Equipment. There is no point in fighting Hard Mode!" Zhang Yang gave a simple analysis.
"Let's begin!" Shuiyan 'er was a standard battle maniac. She pulled out her spear and was eager to fight.
"Wait, or we will be wiped out immediately!" Zhang Yang said quickly. He was really afraid that the reckless girl would rush out. "This monster is nothing when killed, but after it dies, it will cause everyone within close combat range to have a negative effect. If two people with the debuff stand together, they will immediately cause an explosion, dealing 2,500 damage to everyone within a 30-meter radius! "
"So, if you see that the monster is about to die, retreat immediately!" Zhang Yang specifically reminded Shui Yan 'er. "Hunters, don't release your pets!"
"Alright, I know. You're really long-winded. You're still so young, yet you're already so long-winded!" Shuiyan 'er's face was filled with impatience.
"Okay, then let's start!" Zhang Yang quickly waved his hand and charged towards an elemental monster. "Mark the one I marked!" He marked a monster with a "star" mark.
[Demonized Water Elemental] (Elite)
Level: 20
Health Points: 10000
Shuiyan 'er excitedly shouted. She also used Charge and brandished the spear in her hand, dealing considerable damage.
One Hundred Shots and Fatty Han also drew their bows and fired.
90%, 80% … Everyone's equipment was pretty good. The "Star Monster"'s HP dropped rapidly and soon reached rock bottom.
"Little girl, quickly retreat!" Zhang Yang hastily shouted when he saw that the monster was about to die, but Shuiyan 'er was still fiercely chopping at it.
"Ding! The Demonized Water Elemental released the Mark of Destruction upon its death! "
"Ding! Player's Combat Defense has been affected by the Mark of Destruction's effect! "
"Ding! Player Shuiyan 'er has been affected by the Mark of Destruction's effect! "
Following the death of the "Star Monster," a black light flashed on Zhang Yang and Shuiyan 'er's body at the same time.
"-2500!"
"-2500!"
"-2500!"
"-2500!"
"-2000!"
Five large damage numbers floated above Zhang Yang's head at the same time. The party was instantly wiped out.
"Little girl, what did I tell you before?" In the graveyard, the fairy sister floated in the air, chanting in a low voice that humans could not understand. It was filled with a sense of holiness. Zhang Yang, on the other hand, stared fiercely at Shuiyan 'er, his face full of malice.
"What did you say? I don't know!" Shuiyan 'er pushed the blame away cleanly, her face full of innocence.
"Hmm?" Zhang Yang's eyes narrowed, revealing a dangerous aura.
"Alright, I was too excited from the fight and forgot for a moment!" Shuiyan 'er shrugged.
"Be careful next time!" Zhang Yang sighed. This little girl was so cute that he could not bear to scold her!
Whoosh!
Five souls suddenly appeared in the graveyard. Looking at the name above their heads, wasn't it the Tyrant Guild?
Modest Gentleman saw Zhang Yang's group and was stunned for a moment before speaking in the regional channel. "Hehe, you guys are wiped out too!"
— In the soul state, there was no need to "speak" this action, so the surrounding people could not hear them. They could only use text to speak in the party, guild, and regional channel.
Before Zhang Yang could speak, five more souls appeared out of thin air around him. Another party from the Tyrant and two parties from Lingtian appeared in the graveyard.
"Haha, they're all wiped out at the first monster!" Fatty Han said in the regional channel.
"There's still a family that hasn't been wiped out!" Wu Tian's gaze sharpened.
"Anger of Beauty!"
"Are they really fighting in Hard Mode?" Modest Gentleman frowned and muttered.
The monsters in Hard Mode were naturally not as overpowered as in Death Mode, where one explosion could wipe out the whole party!
"Let's go, continue fighting!" Zhang Yang said in the party and began to resurrect his soul.
After entering the dungeon, the five sat down and ate some snacks to recover. Although one of the patrolling monsters had died, the other one did not die, so it immediately respawned after leaving the battle. Two monsters were still patrolling side by side.
"Little girl, remember, if you wipe out the whole party again, I'll spank your butt!" Zhang Yang gritted his teeth and said.
"Hmph!" Shui Yan 'er tilted her head proudly and pouted her lips.
"Let's fight!" Zhang Yang raised his Silver Scale Sword and activated Charge.
After a series of fierce slashes, the two monsters fell one after the other. Although Shui Yan 'er looked mischievous, she would not be a hindrance at a crucial moment.
"Continue!" Stepping over the corpses of the monsters, the party continued forward.
As he killed his way through, he cleared out batch after batch of small monsters. He arrived in front of a house with three Water Elementals inside.
"Why are we fighting this group of monsters? The path is over there!" Shui Yan 'er pointed to the path on the left.
"There's a treasure chest, stupid girl!" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"A treasure chest!" The eyes of Shui Yan 'er and Shui Yan' er lit up at the same time.
Zhang Yang charged at a Water Elemental. He drew a circle with his Silver Scale Sword, and after a slash, he followed it up with a horizontal sweep.
Now that he had an area of effect skill, "Thunder Bash," his ability to pull a group of monsters had increased by another level. As the sword flashed, the aggro of the three monsters was firmly locked on him.
Under the powerful firepower of the five of them, the three monsters fell one after another. Shui Yan 'er and Shui Yan' er rushed to a corner at the same time and pounced on a treasure chest with a green metallic luster.
"This texture is really intoxicating!"
"It's so beautiful!"
The two girls were intoxicated and blinded by greed.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and open the chest. Don't forget, we still have to fight for the First Clear of the dungeon!" Zhang Yang could not stand the silly looks of the two girls who were willing to die for money.
After urging them for a long time, the two girls reluctantly played rock, paper, scissors, and the victorious Shui Yan opened the chest.
After opening the chest, Shui Yan 'er reached out and touched it. The first item immediately jumped out.
[Tight Leather Jacket] (Bronze, Leather Armor)
Armor: + 4
Stamina: + 24
Strength: + 4
Agility: + 12
Required Level: 20
"Give it to Hundred Bullets. I'm now fully equipped with Bronze equipment. Let him equip himself first!" Fatty Han modestly declined. Hundred Bullets No. 1 High School had only entered Death Mode twice in Benga's Crypt, so his equipment was not as good as Fatty Han's.
Hundred Bullets No. 1 High School did not stand on ceremony. Words of gratitude were fake. Actual actions were the best proof.
Shui Yan touched it again, and the second item also jumped out.
[Forging Blueprint: Level 2 Whetstone] (Forging Blueprint)
Use: Teaches you how to learn Level 2 Whetstone.
Required: Intermediate Forging
"Not bad, you got it in just one try!" Zhang Yang laughed. This was the most practical blueprint for advancing from Intermediate to Advanced Forging. Of course, it was also the one that dropped the most.
Zhang Yang cast it, 35 points.
Shui Yan 'er cast it, 87 points.
"Haha, it's mine!" Shui Yan 'er's face was full of smiles. She looked at Zhang Yang and said, "Bad Uncle, if you promise not to be mean to me in the future, I'll give you the blueprint!"
"Tsk, who cares!" Zhang Yang shook his head decisively. This blueprint had a very high drop rate. In the future, there would be as many as he wanted in the auction house. Moreover, it was very cheap. He did not need to be threatened by this little girl!
"Hmph!" Shui Yan 'er was angry. In a fit of pique, she patted the blueprint on her body and went to school.
"Continue forward!"
Under Zhang Yang's command, everyone continued to push forward. They arrived at the entrance of a palace. Outside, there were two Water Elementals guarding the door. Their bodies were much bigger than the others, and they each held a thick and long giant sword in their hands. Their bodies swayed back and forth.
[Water Elemental Guardian] (Elite)
Level: 20
Health Points: 10000
"These two monsters have very high damage. Moreover, they can temporarily clear aggro and charge into the long-range crowd to release a skill similar to Whirlwind Slash. However, it's stronger than the players', and it can spin a few more times!" Zhang Yang did not immediately start the fight. Instead, he explained the skills of these two monsters. "After the fight starts, everyone should keep a distance. Don't get too close. Otherwise, when the Whirlwind Slash turns, you'll be waiting to die!"
"I'm going!" Zhang Yang used Charge to stun one of the monsters, then attacked the other.
"-352!"
One monster fell into a coma, while the other monster swung its heavy sword at Zhang Yang.
"Block!"
"-91! Block Reflect Damage."
"-197!" Shield Slammed.
"-675!"
"-701!" Sweep.
The other monster woke up and started to beat Zhang Yang up.
"-91!"
"-91!" Thunder Strike.
"Ding! Water Elemental Guardian used Charge! "
With the sound of a system notification, a Water Elemental Guardian used Charge to stun No. 1 Hundred Shots. Then, it swung its heavy sword, sending out circles of sword shadows.
"Ding! Water Elemental Guardian used Whirlwind Sword Dance. Every second, 300 damage to all targets around it. Lasts for 5 seconds! "
"Everyone, stay away from that monster!" Zhang Yang quickly shouted. At that moment, the other Water Elemental Guardian also rushed out. Its target was also No. 1 Hundred Shots.
"Ding! Water Elemental Guardian used Whirlwind Sword Dance. Every second, 300 damage to all targets around it. Lasts for 5 seconds! "
When the two monsters used Whirlwind Slash at the same time, the damage output was incredible. Before One Out of a Hundred could escape, damage numbers kept appearing above his head. − 285, − 285, − 285. His HP dropped rapidly. My good Cher could not heal him at all.
"Ding! Player No. 1 Hundred Shots has died! "
Zhang Yang did not dare to rush forward. Once this skill was used, all targets within the range would be attacked indiscriminately. "Block" could only block one attack. He would have to rely on his armor to take the rest. Although he had 1720 HP, he could not survive two monsters turning at the same time.
When the two monsters' Whirlwind Sword Dance ended, their aggro returned to normal. The two monsters automatically ran back and attacked Zhang Yang.
