Su Yu was no stranger to this dungeon.
In his previous life, as a member of the Mu Yun Guild, he frequently helped low-level players grind in dungeons.
This was done partly to fulfill the company’s performance indicators and partly to strengthen the overall power of humankind.
He had visited the [Green Pasture] dungeon at least 20 times, so much so that he could make his way into the Sheep Village and find the village chief with his eyes closed.
Of course, the prerequisite was clearing the monsters along the way.
Like now.
After only a few steps up the mountain path, four goats grazing ahead looked at him, their eyes bloodshot.
[Aggressive Goat Lv5]
Health: 300
Damage: 25
Skill: [Fury Rush]: Accomplish a rush towards the target, increasing the
damage of the next attack by 50%. Cooldown 15 seconds.
[Sheep Herding (Passive)]: For every companion within 40 meters, the damage dealt increases by 10%.
Monsters inside the dungeon followed the “Elite” model, which had 3-3 times more health than regular monsters outside.
Furthermore, these goats were not to be underestimated.
With an attack of 25 points, the goat inflicted 10-13 points of damage on defensive warriors and guardian knights of the same level.
If all four attacked at once, and considered the passive effect of [Sheep Herding (Passive)] and the damage increase from [Fury Rush], tank classes could possibly not withstand the attack.
In the early stages of the game, goats were often referred to as “killer of novice tanks”.
Upon seeing Su Yu, the four goats charged at him, bleating aggressively.
They looked less like goats and more like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves.
Su Yu stood his ground.
When the four goats were less than four meters away from him, he activated the [Frost Nova] scroll.
A tremendous ring of ice exploded from around Su Yu, quickly spreading to the goats’ feet.

The damage from [Frost Nova] wasn’t much, but its control effect was exceptional.
The large ice crystals firmly imprisoned the goats, rendering them motionless.
Su Yu wanted to experiment with the scroll first, so instead of using [Flash Chain], he activated a [Rain of Fire] scroll next.
The fire element emerged from the scroll, swirling above the goats’ heads into a fiery cloud that resembled molten lava.
Large streaks of fire rains dropped down from the molten cloud, hitting the goats on their heads.

[Rain of Fire] dealt multi-segment damage, with a fire rain hitting the goat each second, dealing around 40 points of damage.
The goats moaned pitifully under the onslaught of the fire rain, but they were bound by the ice and unable to move, forced to withstand the assault.
Three seconds later, the freezing effect of [Frost Nova] wore off.
For control-type effects like [Freeze], their effectiveness decreases with each successive use on the same target.
For example, Su Yu’s first [Frost Nova] could freeze the goats for three seconds, the second [Frost Nova] would only freeze for 1.5 seconds, and if he cast a third [Frost Nova], the freezing effect would barely exist.
After enduring three seconds of a chilling and scorching ordeal, each goat lost about 170 points of health and their health dropped to half.
Upon breaking free, the goats once again charged at him, their eyes red, bleating angrily.
But these goats were no longer a threat. Su Yu casually used [Flash Chain].

The goats drained their health, fell down, and gave off a tempting aroma.
Su Yu moved forward to check out the drops from the four goats.
Smelling the familiar aroma of roasted goat meat, he suddenly felt hungry.
However, he didn’t learn the [Cooking] secondary vocation, he could only sigh, pick up the materials and equipment dropped by the goats, and walk ahead along the mountain road.
The [Green Pasture] instance, in addition to [Raging Goat], also has [Proud Goat] (has skill “Proud Stare,” which can reduce target damage), [Insane Goat] (has skill “Leap Attack”), Corrupted Goat (attack carries high shadow damage)… and so on.
Under Su Yu’s high output, all goats were equal, with no goat able to withstand his high damage.
After clearing two waves of goat monsters, he encountered the first BOSS of the instance – [Foaming Goat Leader].
[Foaming Goat Leader Iv6]
Health: 1100
Attack: 44
The [Foaming Goat Leader] can be considered as a taller and stronger version of [Hostile Goat].
Aside from having two passive abilities [Sheep Herding (Passive)] and [Fury Rush], it also possesses [Sheep Herd Summon], [Copper Iron Skin] (increases defence and attack) and [Leap Attack] abilities.
However, for Su Yu, this BOSS was not difficult at all.
He summoned the [Rock Elemental] to taunt the BOSS and used [Frost Nova] to control the sheep herd.
Then, he stood in the same place dealing massive damage to the BOSS body.
After the [Foaming Goat Leader] eliminated the [Rock Elemental] and used [Leap Attack] to approach Su Yu, Su Yu used [Flash Skill] to dodge.
Despite [Foaming Goat Leader] having 1100 points of health and activating [Copper Iron Skin] in between, it was easily defeated by him in less than 8 seconds due to his heavy bombardment.
Picking up the BOSS’s drops, Su Yu continued to move forward.
After clearing a few more waves of monster goats, Su Yu encountered the second BOSS, [Beautiful Goat Leader].
The difficult point of [Beautiful Goat Leader] is that it splits into three when its health drops below 50%. One of them is the main body and the other two are mirrors. The main instance and the mirrors will perform [Charm Attacks] on the player.
However, the BOSS’s main body and the mirrors have slight differences, for example, the pupil colour might vary, or the horns might have slightly different shapes.
Players must identify the BOSS’s main body from these differences and suppress its health below 30% to avoid a group wipe.
Su Yu was very familiar with this BOSS, and quickly identified which one was the main body from the three copies.
A series of high damage single-target spells later, the second BOSS was successfully defeated.
After defeating the second BOSS and entering Sheep Village, he stood before the last BOSS of the entire instance, the [Sheep Village Chief].
The [Sheep Village Chief] is a spectacled wise man with a quite unique mechanism.
The Chief has 3000 points of health and 100 points of attack power, a regular five-man squad is no match for him.
But before the fight starts, the Chief will pose 10 questions to player. For each right answer, his health and attack power will decrease by 9%.
However, Su Yu was familiar with these riddles in his past life, naturally, he wasn’t challenged by the Chief’s questions.
“Young man,” the Chief asked after seeing Su Yu,”Do you know the three great human empires of this continent?”
“Of course I do. Goldfinch Empire, Lai Yin Empire, and Wind Chime Empire,” Su Yu answered composedly.
“Then do you know what the founding purpose of the mage power Elemental Dome is?” the Chief continued asking.
“To seek endless knowledge.”
“How many teeth does the Star-forged Dragon King have?”
“What does ‘shan’do’ mean in the Elvish language?”
“Great Druid.”
“What does a Pandaman usually say when saying goodbye?”
“I’ll treat next time.”
Su Yu perfectly answered all 10 questions, resulting in the [Sheep Village Chief]’s health dropping down to a sorry 300 points.
By casually throwing out a [Lightning Bolt] and a [Lesser Fireball Skill] scroll, the instance was successfully cleared..
