Chapter 1358: Five Dogs

For a while, everything was quiet.

No one had made an offer!

It wasn’t that they weren’t aware of what it was; they could all see that this was an exquisite item. It was just that those with fewer points were afraid to go for it and were looking to see what the others would do.

“Does no one want it?” Lu Li asked with a smile, “Well, I’ll just throw it away then.”

“30 points!” Lonesome Flower cried out, starting the bidding.

In fact, he knew that he had no chance of getting this item, but he wanted to get the ball rolling. On the off-chance that no one fought him, he wouldn’t mind that either.

“80!”

“100!”

The bids continued to rise little by little until it was finally won by Star Baby with 185 points. It turned out to be worth even more than the T1 set, and it cost her all of her points. She didn’t actually expect to get any equipment in this Instance Dungeon.

Lu Li didn’t have anything to add. March Rain was capable of paying more, but it just wasn’t worth it.

The reason why this Necklace was so popular was because there were many players that could it. It wasn’t because it was a better item than the T1 set item. The Attributes of the Necklace obviously couldn’t be compared to the T1 robe.

“Is there any more?”

“There is also a Skill Book,” Remnant Dream said excitedly. Not only had Lonesome Flower given her a red packet, but so had Star Baby. Drizzle Court still had the intention of trying to poach this lucky little girl, so the red packet they gave contained quite a lot of money.

“Let’s see it.”

This was the last item, so Lu Li was very curious.

“Tranquilizing Shot,” Remnant Dream announced, showing the book to everyone. Although everyone usually spoiled her, she wasn’t so greedy that she would try to steal any of the items.

Lu Li knew what she was thinking. She was originally the only Hunter in the team, so all the Hunter items would belong to her. But now, Bearded Zaza was also here, so things were different.

“You two can name your price. Let’s not do the bidding process; just send me your price privately.”

This was just a skill book, and it was an auxiliary PVP skill anyway. Neither of them were PVP players either, so it wasn’t that important to them.

The next thing to consider now was the next Boss – Magmadar.

Fighting Magmadar required the Hunter’s Tranquilizing Shot as a means of dispelling one of the Boss’ irritating skills. Otherwise, it would be a challenging fight.

Bearded Zaza sent Lu Li a bid of 25 points and Remnant Dream sent a bid of 50 points. In a sense, Remnant Dream suffered a loss, because she could have bought it for 30 points. This was the nature of such a bidding system.

Besides, Remnant Dream didn’t have to worry much about her points. She was a veteran in Lu Li’s team, so she usually received exquisite equipment at a low price from Lu Li.

“Learn the skill now and see if there is anything else?”

“That’s it,” Remnant Dream said, shaking her head.

“How about we call it here then?” Lu Li suggested, then gestured for the group’s opinion.

The fact that they had killed a Boss satisfied Lu Li. It was probably unlikely that they would clear another Boss, and it wasn’t that urgent that they continued this Instance Dungeon. If they kept pushing on without restraint, they could damage the morale and relationship of the team. There were some players with poorer mental strength who hated Instance Dungeons for that reason.

“If we don’t fight the Boss, can we fight some of the mobs? They are good for farming,” Sakura Memories’ asked as her eyes lit up.

She was currently ranked number two, second only to Glory Capital’s levelling madman I No Understand. I No Understand was said to be reaching level 60 within the next two days, and Sakura Memories had less than 10% EXP left.

Lonesome Flower and a few other players were in similar positions. In this team, there were quite a few players who had less than 20% EXP left.

Lu Li hadn’t had much time to farm recently, as he had been playing 2v2s with Water Fairy. As such, he still had a little over 30% EXP to go.

The speed of farming mobs outside, even if you found some good ones, couldn’t match the mobs of the Instance Dungeon. As long as they didn’t keep dying, Sakura Memories could gain a few percentage points today to keep up.

“If you want to farm then you can stay back. Otherwise, feel free to head back.”

Lu Li couldn’t have asked everyone to stay back to farm, but the results were unexpected, as no one wanted to leave.

It was good that everyone wasn’t tired, because this was exactly what Lu Li wanted. A single person or a small team couldn’t withstand most of the Molten Core’s mobs.

After going back to clear the monsters that had respawned, they gained some EXP but also some equipment. There was a small number of Dark Gold items, but most of them were Bronze or Steel. They could be decomposed to use for Enchantments. Sometimes, even Common items were dropped, but they were just sold to the store.

Because they had already killed the first Boss, they had to go ahead if they wanted to continue killing more mobs.

They still had some time, and Sakura Memories wanted to continue, so she encouraged everyone to press forward.

Lu Li didn’t mind. Since everyone wanted to clear the mobs together, he had no reason to object. If you want to level up, it was obviously better to fight the later mobs which were stronger.

After fighting a few waves of monsters, they finally spotted a new monster. Azure Sea Breeze glanced into the cave, then turned back with a green face.

“There are a lot of monsters in there, so many monsters...”

Lu Li stepped forward to take a look and confirmed Azure Sea Breeze’s observation.

The legendary farming monster, the Flame Imp, had made its debut.

The Flame Imp was a monster that spawned within the caves between the first and second Boss. In fact, you could avoid most of these monsters, but the players would soon realize that they provided significant EXP.

There were often several dozen in a cave and they were all level 62 Elites.

They didn’t have very high attacking strength, nor did they have much HP.

As long as the Main Tank had enough HP and Fire Resistance, they would be fine. Fire Resistance was particularly important here and this was one of the places that tested that. The only difference here was that there could be more than one Main Tank pull the monsters.

There were 40-50 monsters in the cave discovered by Azure Sea Breeze. If he had to pull these monsters alone, he would be dead.

Lu Li first made everyone clear out the area. Remnant Dream then shot an arrow before using Feign Death. The monsters that ran out of the cave began to disperse before they were pulled by the three different Main Tanks. The attacking charge was then led by Moonlight and the rest of the damage output Paladins.

The Paladins had put on Defensive equipment. As long as there were a few aggro skills to hold back the monsters, they had no problems dealing with them.

An ordinary team might get wiped here. Even though the little monsters didn’t have high attack, their damage could be stacked. If you didn’t have enough damage output players and couldn’t end the fight quickly, the continuous damage would be enough to kill you.

However, Lu Li wasn’t worried about that.

The Mages, who had previously been scolded to no end, could finally attack with pride.

Their Blizzards did the most damage to these monsters. The Warlock’s Meteor Showers also proved to be useful and the Imps were quickly turned into EXP.

“This is great – these monsters give a decent amount of EXP!”

Sakura Memories was fascinated by the rich EXP coming from these little imps.

It didn’t matter what equipment they dropped, the most important thing was that they gave EXP!

Later, they cleared a few more nests of these monsters and Sakura Memories’ EXP jumped a few times. Although it wasn’t enough to get to level 60, it was enough to make her first place.

The girl had been at second place for so long, so this was finally her moment of pride.

However, when five lava dogs entered the area, Lu Li knew that they couldn’t continue harvesting EXP anymore.

Azure Sea Breeze went up to pull the monsters and was instantly killed. They tried sending all three Main Tanks at once, but they were still instantly killed. After they got wiped a few times, they discovered that as long as there were two or more lava dogs attacking the same target, it would trigger a one-shot kill effect.

The final conclusion was that they had to send five players, and each of them had to tank one of the dogs.

Unfortunately, they didn’t have any more time to continue after that. After everyone packed up, they used their Hearthstones to return to the city.
