Chapter 9, The Frosty Dark Forest, is now open!
"Hidden dungeon? Leather Shoes Bro, are you kidding me? Isn't Graca the dungeon after the Venomous Thunder Ruins? All my friends have gone through this process!" Yang Wei said incredulously.
Yang Wei was surprised.
Bai Jie was not surprised.
Because hidden dungeons are not like regular dungeons, which can be opened by simply talking to a few NPCs.
The hidden dungeon has no quest prompts.
Furthermore, you need to clear several low-level maps.
Back in the day.
He had already reached level 40+ before he even knew about this dungeon.
"It's normal that you don't know. There are probably many max-level players who don't even know about this dungeon!" Bai Jie said calmly.
"Huh? That's amazing? Then, Brother Leather Shoes, what should we do?" Yang Wei asked in shock.
"Oh, now go to Celia to accept a story quest called [Linus]!"
"Linus?" Upon hearing this, Yang Wei's face immediately showed a look of disappointment: "Brother Leather Shoes, are you sure? I accepted this quest before, and after talking to Linus, he just told me to grind in Loran, which gives no experience at all. There was no quest related to the hidden dungeon!"
"It's all about farming Loran! After Loran, we'll farm the depths of Loran. Just follow the quests!" Bai Jie changed the subject and continued, "Of course, if you don't want to do it, you can wait for me, or go farm Graca on your own first!"
"Uh..." Although Yang Wei was still a little incredulous, since Bai Jie had said so, he certainly wouldn't say anything more: "I believe you, Leather Shoes Bro! I'll do it right now!"
"oh!"
Bai Jie nodded.
Then they got busy.
Go to Celia to accept the story quest, then talk to Linus.
After chatting with Linus bananas.
The first stage of the mission has begun.
Mission Name: (Story) The Beginning of an Adventure.
Mission objective: Clear the Loran dungeon.
After accepting the task.
Enter Loran and start grinding.
A little over a minute later, the dungeon was cleared.
The second quest appears, requiring you to go deep into Loran and kill twelve goblins.
After completing the Loran Depths.
Bai Jie and Yang Wei went to Grand Forest to farm the Dark Forest.
Then deep into the dark, dense forest.
……
The questline to unlock the hidden dungeon is notoriously long and tedious.
However, Bai Jie knew he had to do it.
Because the hidden dungeon quests not only give experience books.
In addition, there are attribute stones and SP point books.
If we don't do it.
Then his attributes will decrease significantly later on.
I cleared several dungeons in a row like that.
After we've cleared out all the Venomous Thunder Ruins...
The prerequisite tasks are finally completed.
At GSD, Bai Jie received a quest for a hidden instance.
Quest Name: The Mad Magician Krah
Mission requirement: Clear the [Frosty Dark Forest] in Grand Forest.
"Holy crap? Bro, what the hell is this Frosty Dark Forest? Is there really a new dungeon?" Yang Wei exclaimed in disbelief.
"Of course there are, otherwise why do so many prerequisite quests! Go to Norton and Sherlock now, accept the side quests, and let's go into the map and start grinding!" Bai Jie arranged.
"Okay, okay, right away!"
After completing all three tasks in the taskbar.
The two returned to the Grand Forest area.
At this point, about an hour had passed since Bai Jie started playing the game.
According to the DNF server.
The longer players play, the more laggy the game becomes and the more likely they are to disconnect.
However, even though Bai Jie was in the Grand Forest where players were as numerous as hairs on a cow.
His game remains smooth and fluid.
There was absolutely no sign of lag or disconnection.
"My system is amazing! With this level of stability, which DNF player could withstand it?"
He secretly admired her.
Bai Jie then chose to enter the Grand Forest.
The screen flashed.
Map selection appears.
There, in the middle of the dark forest and thunderous ruins below, one could see...
A completely new instance has suddenly appeared.
Frosty, dark forest!
"666666, there really is a hidden dungeon! Leather Shoes Bro, you know too much about DNF! I know several max-level players, and they didn't even know this existed!" Yang Wei couldn't help but praise.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jie's emotions remained unchanged.
It's just a little trick.
To put it bluntly...
In this world, he probably knows more about DNF than the game designers!
"Isn't that reasonable? After all, I already said on the posters outside that my nickname is the DNF Encyclopedia!"
"Awesome!"
Just as the two were talking.
The game has entered the Frosty Dark Forest dungeon.
In contrast to the somber tones of the toxic, thunderous ruins.
The environment of the frost-covered, dark forest has undergone new changes.
Snowflakes fell, covering the surrounding trees and grass with a layer of white snow.
It was as if we had entered a world of ice and snow.
Corresponding to the environment, the monsters in the room have also changed to frost goblins that unleash ice spike attacks.
For these monsters.
Bai Jie can be said to like it very much.
Because DNF has a system called attribute mutual generation and restraint.
Generally speaking, monsters with a certain attack attribute have a high resistance to that attribute, and vice versa.
For example, these frost goblins.
Because they are ice-elemental monsters, they have high ice resistance.
Conversely, fire resistance is very low.
This is perfect for the fire-attribute Autumn Leaf Blade to shine!
The battle begins.
Earth-Shattering Wave Sword!
XXX!
……
As the Autumn Leaf Blade slashed at the monster.
A wave of anger arose.
It is the special effect of fire attribute attacks.
With the advantage of elemental counters, Bai Jie dealt significantly more damage.
Before long, all the monsters in the room were killed.
Cleared the first room.
Enter the next room.
The monsters in the Frosty Dark Forest are mostly familiar ones like goblins, cat demons, and minotaurs.
It's not too difficult.
With Bai Jie, a master of all trades, leading the way.
The two of them easily reached the BOSS room.
A female mage-type monster appeared, wearing a blue bikini top and blue suede pants, revealing her waist and abdomen, with long flowing hair, holding a crescent-shaped staff, and floating in mid-air.
It is the BOSS of the Frosty Dark Forest - Frosty Krah.
She is the first female monster the player encounters.
Frost Krach's design is undoubtedly a great success.
Even the poor image quality couldn't resist its allure.
"Hiss, this monster..." Yang Wei unconsciously pursed his lips, clearly startled by the approaching starry rain.
Seeing this, Bai Jie gave a meaningful reminder: "Awei, friendly reminder, put on your headphones, there'll be a surprise later!"
"Oh? Okay!"
Yang Wei's main tactic is to listen to advice.
He immediately put on the headphones.
The moment he put it on.
Bai Jie had already arrived beside Frost Krach.
Pick it up!
XXX!
"Ah~ Ah~ Ah~"
Yang Wei: "???"
