Chapter 198: One of the Elemental Dungeons: Fire God Palace

Shu Han recommended the [Fire God Palace] dungeon to Lin Moyu.

It was a level 32 dungeon, with an entry level range of 27 to 37.

It looked like a perfectly normal dungeon, with only Normal and Nightmare difficulties available.

For dungeons above level 30, the entry fee was 500 points, with a reset cost of 2500 points.

The cooldown time was 120 hours, a full 5 days.

Shu Han explained her reasons for recommending this dungeon.

Having received the points, she was very diligent.

"This dungeon may look no different from ordinary dungeons, but it's actually quite different."

"You can see that many dungeons here have people choosing them, but very few choose [Fire God Palace]."

"And if you look at its time compared to other dungeons of similar levels, you can see the difference."

Lin Moyu looked at the clear record for [Fire God Palace].

8 hours, 32 minutes, 15 seconds.

The record was set five years ago.

By a team from Potential Dragon Academy.

For a Nightmare level dungeon to take over 8 hours was clearly abnormal.

Other Nightmare dungeons rarely took over 6 hours.

And the record time was too old, unchanged for a full five years.

Shu Han smiled languidly, "You've noticed, right? This dungeon is actually one of the five elemental dungeons."

"We usually know of wind, water, fire and lightning elements, but there's actually a fifth light element."

"Each element has a corresponding elemental dungeon. If you're lucky, you can obtain the corresponding elemental fragments."

"Legend has it that if you can gather all five elemental fragments, you can gain unimaginable benefits."

Shu Han knew a lot, and also explained to Lin Moyu why this dungeon was difficult.

Inside was a world of fire elements. Once inside, you would continuously take fire elemental damage.

This put great pressure on healers.

So for Nightmare difficulty six-person teams, they often sacrificed one DPS position for a second healer.

This reduced damage output, naturally slowing things down.

The dungeon's difficulty was high. With less DPS, the danger increased greatly.

Even with two healers, failure was still possible if not careful.

There had been cases of students dying in the dungeon, unable to exit in time.

Correspondingly, the high difficulty brought high experience.

Shu Han felt that with Lin Moyu's abilities, this shouldn't be too difficult for him.

So she recommended this dungeon with the highest experience among dungeons of the same level.

After listening, Lin Moyu had a good understanding.

He felt the 100 points were well spent.

"Are the other elemental dungeons here too?" Lin Moyu's gaze swept across the Dungeon Hall. With over a hundred dungeons large and small, it was hard to distinguish at a glance.

Shu Han pointed in one direction, where a dungeon vortex occasionally showed flashes of water, exuding an incredible chill.

"That's the water element dungeon, but it's level 37. You can't enter yet."

She then pointed to another location where wind sounds came from the dungeon entrance.

"That's the wind element dungeon, level 42. You need to be at least level 37 to enter. But usually people wait until after second transition to become high-level career holders before going in."

"The lightning and light element dungeons aren't here."

"As for where exactly they are, junior Lin will have to find out himself."

Shu Han's eyes held a mischievous smile, and a hint of anticipation, hoping Lin Moyu could set a new record.

"Thank you, senior! I'll go run the dungeon now."

Lin Moyu chose Nightmare mode and entered the dungeon.

Ning Yiyi had sent a message yesterday after going home, saying she had family matters and would be away for a while.

She'd come find him when she returned.

It seemed quite urgent, probably another task arranged for Ning Yiyi.

Top-tier career holder families like Ning Yiyi's all had comprehensive training methods for their younger generation.

Though Ning Yiyi was enrolled at the university, she didn't completely follow the university's path.

Lin Moyu felt he was similar now.

He hadn't attended a single class at the university.

The place he spent the most time at the university was the Dungeon Hall.

Not learning and leveling up in the normal way at all.

Much knowledge seemed incomplete.

Bai Yiyuan also wanted him to gain this knowledge through practical combat.

[Fire God Palace], level 32 dungeon, Nightmare difficulty.

Scorching flames burned the entire world.

This was a cave, with raging flames burning on the rock walls.

Only a bridge of fire led to the other side, with flowing lava below.

The flowing lava occasionally shot up pillars of fire that exploded in the air like brilliant fireworks.

Lin Moyu felt that even with his Bone Armor, he probably couldn't last long.

The [Fire God Palace] dungeon was somewhat similar to elemental secret realms, but purer.

Just standing here, the fire elements had already begun attacking him as an outsider.

The Bone Armor flashed with light, resisting the fire elements.

As long as one was in the dungeon, they had to endure constant fire elemental attacks without end.

Healers were under particularly great pressure here.

Even without fighting monsters, they had to heal teammates at regular intervals.

He hadn't summoned skeleton warriors or mages yet.

There were no monsters encountered yet, summoning them now would just make them take damage for no reason.

Walking across the bridge made of flames, the entire bridge was burning. Lin Moyu stepped in fire with each step.

It was truly like walking through fire and brimstone.

For ordinary career holders, just crossing this bridge would require healing several times.

The bridge wasn't long. Soon he was nearing the end.

Finally, two monsters appeared on the shore.

Two monsters made of fire elements and lava.

The monsters were three meters tall, wielding giant clubs of fire, patrolling back and forth by the bridge.

As Lin Moyu discovered them, they also noticed him.

They swung their clubs, hurling two fireballs at Lin Moyu.

It looked just like a mage's fireball spell.

Lin Moyu didn't dodge, taking the hits head-on with his Bone Armor.

At the same time, Detection swept over them like a gentle breeze.

[Fire Elemental (Enhanced Elite Monster)]

[Level: 32]

[Strength: 10000]

[Agility: 3000]

[Spirit: 4000]

[Constitution: 10000]

[Skill: Fire Attack]

[Traits: Immune to fire elemental damage, physical damage halved.]

Strength and constitution were slightly higher, with total attributes reaching 27000, fitting for a level 32 enhanced elite monster.

Made of fire elements, it was immune to fire elemental damage.

Another trait of elemental monsters was halved physical damage.

Lin Moyu had dealt with elemental monsters more than once. Seeing these attributes didn't surprise him.

"Seems I can't use Corpse Explosion again!"

He said softly. Without Corpse Explosion, efficiency would be much lower.

Shu Han probably didn't know this point when recommending this dungeon to him.

He could ask her later what dungeons had more monsters.

Less individual experience was fine, as long as there were enough monsters.

Most importantly, there needed to be corpses.

For now, since he was here, he might as well continue.

The 500 point entry fee was already spent. Leaving now would be too wasteful.

The Fire Elementals' flames had landed on the Bone Armor.

The flames exploded, creating beautiful fireworks.

The Bone Armor emitted a silver-white light, completely blocking the attack.

"The power is decent!"

Lin Moyu had gauged the Fire Elementals' attack power.

Skeleton warriors appeared, quickly running across the bridge, swinging their blades at the Fire Elementals.

As the skeleton warriors ran, flames rapidly ignited on their bodies.

Soon they became fire skeletons, completely engulfed in flames.

Lin Moyu had the Elemental Resistance passive skill, increasing elemental damage resistance by 300%, reducing all elemental damage by three times.

The skeleton warriors' attributes were originally high, so though it looked scary, the damage wasn't high.

Over a dozen skeleton warriors surrounded the two Fire Elementals, hacking away.

[Killed]

[Obtained Fire Crystal Core]

As expected, the Fire Elementals dissipated into fire elements after death, leaving no corpses behind.
