The Smoky Terrace was a peach blossom garden, where the county magistrate of Chengde County used to worship the gods.
However, with the advancement of technology, the so-called gods had long been exposed. There were no gods in the world. Then, the Smoky Terrace became a tourist attraction in Chengde County as the times changed.
After that, due to global digitization and the invasion of dimensional creatures, the current Smoke Terrace had evolved into a dungeon, the Lightning Gobzan dungeon.
Just as Li Feng got off the bus, several middle-aged men in military uniforms walked up to negotiate with Zhou Zhengyang and the others.
There were many soldiers cordoning off the area in the surroundings, and tents could be seen everywhere. This was a military camp.
In addition to the abnormally terrifying dungeon, there were also armies stationed at the Primary-Rank dungeons. Their goal was to prevent the monsters inside from rushing out and causing huge damage to humans.
However, despite being guarded by troops, many dimensional creatures still killed their way into the human world every year. There were also some that hid in the wilderness, making this place very dangerous.
Some of the students who could not go to university had two paths after graduation. They could either work for infrastructure services in the city. Alternatively, they could join the army and camp outside the dungeons.
As the school had informed the army beforehand, the negotiation was completed very quickly. Then, the army made way for them.
“Be careful. This Primary-Rank dungeon is extremely dangerous. If you find that you are no match for the opponents, quickly retreat. Otherwise, once you enter the territory of the Overlord, you will be in a situation where you will fight to the death.”
A soldier reminded the students who were full of vigor and vitality.
There was a very large ancient city gate at the entrance of Lightning Gobzan that was made of black stone. There were two soldiers guarding it.
“After you enter the dungeon, apart from those who have formed teams, all of you will be forcefully separated by a spatial power. If you are injured inside, do not force yourself and directly teleport out. No one will save you inside.” In front of the city gate, Zhou Zhengyang once again explained the seriousness of the matter.
These dimensional dungeons all had mysterious powers. As a result, only some powerful players could come and go freely. Even if the school wanted to protect them, they could not.
“Don’t worry. Primary-Grade dungeons are very special. If you can die inside, you will be a fool. Even if you live, it will be useless,” said a teacher beside him with a smile.
Zhou Zhengyang shook his head and did not say anything. Every year, there would be people who did not know the difference between life and death inside, even though the safety of the Primary Grade dungeons was very high.
However, this Lightning Gobzan dungeon was extremely difficult for the current students.
“Let’s go in. This time, we’ll be able to get into the top three.” Yang Wei shouted loudly. He was already impatient. He appeared very confident wearing the Elementary-Grade battle armor.
The other students were the same and they all rushed in. Since they were young, dungeons had been mentioned to them countless times. Today, they finally had the chance to see a dungeon.
Li Feng helplessly followed behind the three of them and walked in.
The distorted power of space flowed. Then, when Li Feng saw the situation around him again, apart from Qin Anran and the rest of his team, everyone else had been separated by the spatial power.
“This is a familiar environment. I hope I don’t encounter those three troublesome monsters.”
The scenery in the Lightning Gobzan dungeon was 80% to 90% similar to the dungeon in his game. However, Li Feng still felt a little depressed.
“Li Feng, what are you afraid of? If you can’t beat a Primary-Grade dungeon, just retreat,” said Sheng Xu casually.
“Retreat?”
Li Feng shook his head and didn’t say anything. Primary-Grade dungeons were very special. As long as one didn’t enter the Overlord’s territory and leave the battle, they could directly teleport away. Thus, there was indeed very little danger.
However, he knew in his heart that while an evolved Goblin was not scary, when three evolved Goblins combined their powers, they were much more powerful. In particular, the Frost Goblins had the effect of decelerating its targets. Since his speed was not high, he might not be able to escape.
However, since they had already entered the dungeon, it wasn’t appropriate for him to explain things to them. Thus, he could only helplessly remind them, “Everyone, be careful. I suspect that there are some very difficult opponents inside.”
“What is there to be afraid of? Isn’t it just a dungeon? They can’t stop us.”
However, Yang Wei and the other two didn’t listen to him. Since they had the Elementary-Grade battle armor to protect themselves, they became much bolder. Then, they took out the weapons they had prepared from their spatial equipment. “Here, Li Feng. This is the magic pistol that you wanted. You can hide behind us and use your skills, while we can act as tanks.”
“This is good stuff!” When Li Feng saw the platinum pistol that was handed to him, he immediately liked it. As he held it in his hand, he felt like he was one with the gun.
Then, he glanced at the ring on Yang Wei’s hand. It was a piece of spatial equipment that had been forged by a rare Spatial Mage. It was also very expensive.
“Of course it’s good stuff. The bullets inside are specially made and have a certain level of defense-breaking abilities.” Yang Wei said proudly, “One bullet is worth 30,000 yuan. I’ve only prepared 10 bullets, so you’d better use them sparingly.”
These words made Li Feng’s heart ache. A bullet cost 30,000 yuan, but Yang Wei’s words made it sound like scrap paper. This was a tycoon that a poor child like him couldn’t compare to.
At the same time, he was rather delighted. This kind of magic pistol relied on one’s own strength. At the same time, it didn’t have many requirements for the user. As long as one could hit the target, it would still be able to unleash a very strong force.
As for Yang Wei and the other two, they were all equipped with a magic longsword each. The swords had been blessed by Mages, and they also had the ability to break through defenses.
After everything was prepared, the few of them started exploring the Lightning Gobzan dungeon. This dungeon was huge, but it was surrounded by grasslands and had a wide view. However, there were many dark clouds in the sky, making it seem like lightning would descend at any time.
As a result, Li Feng looked up into the sky a few more times. He felt an indescribable pressure in his heart.
Not long after, Qin Anran and the rest encountered three ordinary Goblins. They held wooden sticks and charged at them.
Li Feng took a look and wasn’t very interested in them. After all, these Goblins looked even dumber than the Goblins in the game.
“This is a dimensional creature. Kill them!” However, Yang Wei and the others seemed to have been injected with stimulants. They held their swords and charged forward. Then, both sides collided.
Bang bang…
The battle was not very intense. With the Elementary-Grade battle armor, they simply oppressed their opponents with their strength. Thus, the battle ended very quickly.
Pa pa… Several things that resembled crystals fell to the ground.
“This is the Attributeless Energy Crystal that Teacher Zhou mentioned.” Li Feng picked one of the crystals up and examined it carefully. These crystals were snow white in color and crystal clear.
However, he could feel that there was a huge amount of energy contained within the crystals. As he activated the Mechanical Heart breathing technique, wisps of energy were immediately produced from the crystal.
“These Attributeless Energy Crystals can increase our strength. As long as we have enough Attributeless Energy Crystal, we can increase our attribute values,” said Li Feng after absorbing the wisps of energy for a while.
Now, he finally understood why the higher the level of a player, the more inclined they were to clear dungeons and not rely on breathing techniques to increase their strength.
If one were to compare a person to a bucket of water, the breathing technique would be a wooden barrel. The stronger the breathing technique, the more energy it could contain, and the greater the potential. Meanwhile, the Attributeless Energy Crystals dropped from dungeons were the water in the wooden barrel. It could quickly fill the wooden barrel and greatly shorten the training time required.
