Chapter 51: Luqiao Siege Defense
“Thank you!”
Li Chengfeng was somewhat amused and exasperated.
Without Shu Fuyao speaking up, he wouldn’t have been able to join this normal team.
After all, he was someone with outstanding achievements.
Yet, for a mere normal mode, someone actually didn’t want him.
“Why are we being so polite with each other?”
Shu Fuyao felt a bit smug, finally having helped him for once.
Luqiao Siege Defense, a level 10, 10-person dungeon.
Normal mode can be directly accessed via the St, Station teleport.
Pan Jiang invited Li Chengfeng and Shu Fuyao to join the team.
The next morning at seven o’clock, everyone gathered punctually at the east gate of the Xiaoyao Sect.
Except for Pan Jiang, who arrived late in a Mustang sports car.
He laughed and said, “Sorry, I didn’t sleep well last night.”
Since he was the team leader, no one mentioned his tardiness.
“Senior Brother Pan, are we setting off now?”
“Let me check if everyone is here. One, two, three…”
Pan Jiang paused when he counted to the fourth person, Shu Fuyao.
She was dressed in white, graceful and elegant, with a stunning beauty.
He was instantly captivated.
Quickly getting out of the car, he approached with a smile and said, “Sorry to keep you waiting. I was up all night making a detailed battle plan, so…”
Lisa laughed and said, “It’s alright, Senior Brother Pan, we understand.”
Pan Jiang didn’t even glance at Lisa, his eyes were glued to Shu Fuyao:
“That’s good. Junior Sister Shu, you are our healer, the core of the team. Please get in the car, I’ll give you a ride.”
“No need, we have our own vehicle.”
Shu Fuyao patted the back seat of Li Chengfeng’s BMW motorcycle.
“Oh, you’re riding this bike.”
Pan Jiang looked at Li Chengfeng, who was straddling the motorcycle, and noticed that he was quite handsome, causing him to frown and say:
“This bike doesn’t shield you from the wind or rain, and it might mess up your beautiful hair. I saw the weather forecast, and it’s going to rain soon. Why don’t you ride in my car instead?”
The horizon was lit with the red glow of the morning sun, the sky was a pure deep blue, without a cloud in sight.
Everyone was speechless.
Rain!
Wasn’t this an obvious lie?
Clearly, he was trying to coax the girl.
“No need!”
Shu Fuyao refused once again.
“Alright, then we’ll meet at the St. Station entrance.”
Seeing that he couldn’t persuade her, Pan Jiang had no choice but to give up.
The group set off.
It was a short journey of twenty kilometers to St. Station No. 5555.
The Luqiao Siege Defense dungeon, as the name suggested, involved capturing Luqiao and then defending it.
This dungeon originated from the great war between the human race and the beast race over four hundred years ago.
Luqiao was a critical lifeline for the human race at that time.
If it had been breached, there would be 500,000 humans on Mu Wang Star today instead of 5 billion.
The Luqiao Siege Defense could be described as an epic battle that had been recorded in history.
Therefore, it was made into a dungeon.
The 10 players were teleported to a location 1 kilometer away from Luqiao.
The team leaders were Pan Jiang and two other male disciples from the Dungeon Division.
They were all experts who had cleared the hard mode of Luqiao.
Pan Jiang had level 17 internal skills, and the other two were at level 16.
The remaining 7 players had not cleared the normal mode of this dungeon.
The highest level among them was Li Chengfeng at level 14.
However, upon entering, everyone was suppressed to level 10 internal skills.
Before the official battle began, Pan Jiang gave the seven newcomers a briefing:
“Listen up, rookies.
It’s okay if you haven’t done this dungeon before. Just follow my commands later.
Don’t mess up. When I tell you to fight, fight with all you’ve got.
When I tell you to retreat, retreat as if your life depends on it.
You must follow my commands; my words are law.
Absolutely no disobedience is allowed. Got it?”
“……”
Everyone was speechless. Why did his speech sound so awkward?
Pan Jiang shouted:
“Did you hear me?”
“We heard you!”
Pan Jiang walked up to Shu Fuyao, his stern expression changing to a smile:
“Junior Sister Shu, you have Earth-Wood attributes and not much combat power, so you don’t need to fight. Just stay back and follow us from a distance. After we finish the battle, you can heal everyone.”
“Alright.”
Shu Fuyao was quite happy with this arrangement.
The reason she didn’t mention her dual cultivation of Heavenly Force and Earthly Force when signing up was because she had the same thought as Li Chengfeng.
They just wanted to slack off and earn an achievement.
Pan Jiang then walked over to Li Chengfeng, who wasn’t wearing armor, and questioned him:
“What’s going on with you? Why aren’t you wearing armor for the dungeon?”
“I don’t think it’s necessary. I’m a ranged fighter; I’m not going to be in the thick of the fight.”
Li Chengfeng explained, not believing he would get hit.
“You think it’s unnecessary? You won’t even know how you died later.”
Pan Jiang, clearly annoyed, retorted:
“Useless, always wanting to play ranged but can’t hit a single target. What’s the point of playing ranged?”
The dungeon time was at dawn.
Pan Jiang led the 10-person team, sneaking all the way, secretly killing a dozen orc sentries and capturing the bridgehead outpost.
Then, they began to plan the strategy for attacking the bridge.
