Translator: 549690339
Entering the dungeon.
The first third of the dungeon is a vast desert, with the scorching sun overhead, and sand whirling in the wind.
At the entrance to the dungeon, Su Yu saw the protagonist of the dungeon the Sad Mummy, Amumu.
Amumu was a small mummy wrapped in grayish-green bandages.
He was crouched in a corner, his eyes flickering with loneliness and sorrow.
Seeing Su Yu, he slowly walked over and greeted him:
“Hello, adventurer. I am Prince Amumu of the Kingdom of Shurima. I love a girl named Annie … (100 words omitted) … Now, we need to defeat an opponent to prove to Annie that I can protect her!”
After Amumu finished speaking, he walked along the only path in the dungeon.
Su Yu hurried to follow.
After about a dozen steps, the first batch of small mobs appeared in front of them.
[Restless Mummy] Health Points: 750
Attack Power: 30
Skills: [Deadly Bite]: Bites the target, inflicting 120% damage, stacks a layer of [Deadly Poison], and refreshes the [Deadly Poison] effect’s duration on the target.
[Poison]: Inflicts 5 points of poison damage per second, lasting 4 seconds. Can stack up to 10 times.
Revive (Passive): Upon death, immediately revives, restoring 30% of maximum health. Can only activate once.
[Sand Soldier] Health Points: 650
Attack Power: 45
Skills: [Sand Sprint]: Charges towards the target’s location, causing the next attack to deal 150% attack damage.
[Heart with the Sand (Passive)]: Changes the attack target randomly every 5 seconds, ignoring any form of forced attack effects.
The first wave of mobs in the dungeon was made up of 5 in total, three [Restless Mummies] and two [Sand Soldiers].
After reaching level 10, the difficulty of the dungeon mobs noticeably increased.
The stacking poison effect of the [Restless Mummy] is very troublesome for tank classes. If damage classes can’t quickly dispose of them, tanks can easily collapse from having too many layers of [Deadly Poison].
[Sand Soldier] switches attack targets every 5 seconds and doesn’t get taunted, posing a huge threat to fragile mages, priests, and hunters.
It can be said that if a five-man party doesn’t have good coordination or superior equipment, they would have difficulty getting past even the first wave of mobs.
But for Su Yu, these mobs were not at all difficult.
The [Restless Mummies] couldn’t even get close to him, he just needed to watch out for the [Sand Sprint] of the Sand Soldiers.
The battle began.
The [Restless Mummy] let out a eerie laugh, extending its claws towards him and shuffling forward.
The two [Sand Soldiers] moved very fast, activating [Sand Sprint] and charging towards Su Yu in the form of two golden phantoms.
Su Yu was not flustered at all.
When the [Sand Soldiers] got close, a massive ice ring exploded from him as the center, freezing the two Sand Soldiers.
Then the [Lightning Bolt], [Electric Chain], and [Lesser Fireball Skill] scroll were mercilessly thrown at the frozen soldiers.

With two spells combined with two scrolls, one of the [Sand Soldiers], with a high health point of 650, immediately fell, while the other one’s health was reduced to two-thirds.
Su Yu threw two more spells, and this Sand Soldier also fell to the ground. As for the remaining three [Restless Mummies], they were still quite far from su Yu.
While Su Yu was battling the five mobs, Amumu also tossed his bandages and ensnared a distant [Restless Mummy], pulling himself towards it.
But his fighting power was almost negligible.
His attacks on the mummy could only inflict single-digit damage like -5, -8, etc.
After disposing of the remaining mobs with his spells, Su Yu and Amumu continued forward.
The vast desert was not just populated with mobs but also littered with enormous sand vortexes.
If a player strayed into a sand vortex due to a mistake, they would be sucked in and instantly killed.
This was something that had given the initial trailblazers a hard time.
However, having run this dungeon dozens of times, Su Yu knew the location of all the sand vortexes like the back of his hand.
Skilfully avoiding the sand vortexes and clearing out the mobs along the way,
Su Yu and Amumu arrived in front of the first boss of the dungeon.
The first boss of the dungeon was known as the [Desert Emperor Azir].
The Desert Emperor was standing on top of a towering pyramid, holding a golden spear in his right hand, clad in golden armor, his face stern as he observed everything below.
Azir was the Emperor of the Kingdom of Shurima and Amumu was the Prince of the Kingdom of Shurima.
But the two were not father and son, but rivals.
Amumu strode towards Azir and said, “Azir, I will defeat you thoroughly! Only by doing so can I prove I have the ability to protect Annie!”
The Desert Emperor shook his head in confusion, “Amumu, what kind of strange logic is this? Why does defeating me prove that you can protect Annie?” “I don’t care, I just want to defeat you!” Amumu was very stubborn.
Then he turned to Su Yu with his eyes filled with vague longing, “Let’s go, adventurer, you’re going to help me right?”
“Of course.
Su Yu nodded his head and directly launched a [Lightning Bolt] towards the Desert Emperor.

A huge number popped up above the Desert Emperor’s head.
The Desert Emperor was furious, and began to summon [Sand Soldiers].
[Desert Emperor Azir] is a boss with a tempo play.
In phase one, the boss would summon 10 [Sand Soldiers].
The boss would attack players with 3 soldiers while the remaining 7 Sand Soldiers formed a line, running around on the vast ground in front of the pyramid.
At the same time, a type of energy block known as [Gold Crystal] would randomly spawn on the open area in front of the pyramid.
If a player absorbs the energy block, their damage will increase by 50%, if the 7 running Sand Soldiers absorb the energy block, their numbers would increase by 3.
If players continually fail to absorb the energy block, the number of running Sand Soldiers could increase to 16.
Once the count reaches 16, the Sand Soldiers would abandon the energy block and attack players, thereby leading to a complete wipe out.
The mechanism is a bit like the game ‘Snake’.
The line formed by the 7 [Sand Soldiers] is the snake, and the players have to compete with the snake for the energy block.
For the usual five-man party, they would assign a role with high mobility like an assassin to grab the energy block, while the others intercept the boss and three Sand Soldiers.
But the boss had extremely high health points, if the player grabbing energy blocks couldn’t multitask and deal damage to the boss while grabbing the blocks, it would easily lead to the party getting wiped out.
Su Yu had it easier as he could currently cast three [Flash Skills] consecutively, and coupled with his full speed gear, grabbing the energy block was no problem. Furthermore, he could continuously deal damage to the boss. Under his powerful spells, the boss’s health rapidly fell to 30%..
