Chapter 866 Maths Is Hard

"This is it. We are going to attempt something very difficult and challenging, so everyone should only enter at their own risk. We will only try to do our best without endangering any of our lives." Alex loudly commanded.

"If I find anyone trying to be a hero or trying to be over-smart, endangering everyone's lives, then they will be immediately kicked out of both the team and the guild."

"NOW! LET'S GO!"

The group entered the dungeon portal that swirled dangerously in the middle of the thick wilderness. Everyone gripped their weapons tightly as they sucked in a big breath of air and stepped in. 

Alex's red hair whipped about in the wind, mixed in with the dirt and sand of the dungeon, as she jutted her voluptuous chest out and used her epic-grade shield to block the first attack that came for them.

They were attempting the orc dungeon first, so it was a pair of orc elites they were facing at the moment. The towering creatures almost made the woman seem insignificant in front of them, but Alex stood strong and used a divine aura to hold them in place.

"I cannot hold on for long, 2 seconds at the most." She gritted her teeth and said.

The others did not need her reminder as they could feel the overwhelming strength of the orc elites in their blood, giving them all sorts of danger signals.

Mei Mei started casting buffs. The four mages, including Lan Fen, started bombarding the elites with all sorts of attacks, quickly draining their mana. Rey rained his arrows at the big guys. Shen Yue, Kim Hyun and Lan Deming stood diagonally opposite Alex and struck the orc elites from the back, trying to go for their vital points.

The full group went into burst mode as they pelted the two elites with everything they had. Fighting a dungeon thirty levels above them was easier said than done. Even with their weapons and stats, they were still at a significant disadvantage.

However, everyone was determined enough to persist and kill the two elites in front of them, even if that was all they managed to achieve in this dungeon.

Meanwhile, at a certain distance away, Liam was thinking about the same dungeon the rest of the group was currently fighting in.

The main reason why he was forced to take a decision to separate from the rest of the group was exactly because of the two upgraded dungeons.

These two dungeons served him as a good training tool, but in the last run, it was clear that he had hit a wall when it came to this training tool.

Until the second floor, he was able to easily wipe out the dungeon mobs and clear the floor quite easily. However, after that, on the third floor, he encountered the titan orcs that ranged from Level 75 to 85. 

These were muscular giants whose every single hit was a finishing move. Their muscles were literally visible for him to see as they pulsed, contracted and stretched with every attack, packing a powerful punch.

Against these enemies, his minions were useless. He personally handled these guys and was able to clear the floor, but this was where he was forced to come to a stop.

The next floor, the fourth floor, had another type of orcs called the Abomination orcs that were even more difficult to take out. They were opposite in nature to the titan orcs, being more of the magical attack type, but nevertheless, they were gifted with a huge health bar.

They were fat and chunky, huge orcs with thick hands and legs covered by several layers of fat that jiggled with every move. At a first glance, one might think it would be easier to take out these orcs, but they would be gravely mistaken.

The layers of the fat served as an excellent magic defence barrier and also an excellent physical defence barrier. Moreover, their levels also could not be ignored.

These big guys ranged from Level 85 to 95, and they packed a serious punch. After taking out a couple of these mobs, Liam simply could not push forward any longer.

And this was the wall he was currently up against. Without a team at the same level or some sort of method to strengthen his soul minions, he was currently not able to take care of the fourth level of the dungeon, let alone the higher floors.

This was not something that was going to change by him blindly grinding for levels on the lower floors, waiting for the reset every week. He had to improve himself actively. Otherwise, the progress would be too slow.

Ideally, finding another dungeon where he could farm for mana cores would be a good starting point. That way, he would have three dungeons to spam in a week rather than two.

Keeping this in mind, he carefully surveyed the land underneath him as he and Luna continued flying around in the area.

Best

After a few minutes, he took out a local map of the region he had secured and marked the location of the three dungeons. Perhaps there was a mathematical explanation of the location and distribution of these dungeons.

Liam stared at the map and scratched his head, but nothing was popping out. So far, it seemed extremely random, with two of the dungeons being very close to each other and the third one being a little further away.

However, even if he considered the furthest one, there wasn't another dungeon in the vicinity if he used that as a radius and searched.

"Maybe there aren't that many dungeons to begin with?" Liam clicked his tongue. In his last life, he only knew about these two dungeons. The third one was a pleasant surprise to him.

Now he did not know how he was going to go about and find a fourth one. "Does it have to do with the location of the magic shops?" As this thought popped up, Liam suddenly had an idea.
