Chapter 110: Black Smoke Lava Cave (Chapter 3 on the shelf)
Now is an era where traffic is king.
To put it simply, if a person is famous, he will have traffic, and if he has traffic, he will naturally have money.
Therefore, Lin Luo's first goal when opening the server is to hit the national server rankings for traffic.
But he never thought beforehand that he could reach the top of the national server. He thought that it would be enough to reach the top 100 of the list, but he didn't expect that he would now trample on a large number of clubs and big anchors.
And since you have a reputation, you just need to use it well and you can turn it into cash.
His second goal is to turn his gradually accumulated popularity into traffic step by step, and then turn it all into money!
…
"Have you finished reading?"
At this time, Lin Luo has arrived at the most popular outdoor upgrade point in the game - Black Smoky Volcano!
Next to them, Tata, Maotou and Azijun were watching a ten-minute video.
What is shown in this video is the copy of the 'Black Smoky Lava Cave'. This is the fastest speed video in the national server that is currently popular on the Internet. In short, it is a racing video.
This video was posted by the RNG Electronics Club of the national server, in which a team of four people completed the 'Black Smoky Lava Cave' in ten minutes.
This is the fastest clearance record of the ‘Black Smoke Lava Cave’ in the entire Chinese server so far.
Ten minutes, twenty-three seconds and eight.
In other words, while most players in the Chinese server are still struggling to upgrade and want to enter the Black Smoky Volcano, some people have already been able to clear the dungeon and even start various races.
However, after the three of them watched this video, the first thing Mao Tou said was:
"No, that's it? The difficulty of this level is not as good as the dark and vast desert in our first level."
This time he really wasn't pretending, he was speaking from his heart.
Tata also nodded:
"This dungeon is designed to be more friendly to the people. The difficulty is not high, and the mechanism is not difficult. If a team of eight people at level 10 has mid-range equipment, it can be completed in about 30 minutes."
As for the current record set by this rng club, in her own words, it is just barely okay.
Of course, she must have evaluated it based on comprehensive factors such as equipment level.
After Azijun finished reading, he looked at Lin Luo with a strange look:
"Why do you suddenly want to play this kind of dungeon? You and Tata can get through this kind of dungeon, right?"
Lin Luo explained:
"We can't go to the Silver Difficulty at the moment. Apart from that, this book has the most experience, and there are small rewards for the first time opening up the wasteland. You have to fight it anyway, so why not fight it now."
Azijun nodded:
"Okay, let's also set a speed pass record, right?"
She seemed to see Lin Luo's thoughts at a glance:
"I guessed it right, you want to record a video and upload it to major platforms, right? I have a request, you must code my character."
After she finished speaking, she immediately said:
"Don't ask me why, otherwise I won't go!"
Obviously, she has encountered this problem countless times.
And if Tata hadn't come to her alone to say nice things, she would have gone back to playing by herself.
Lin Luo laughed dumbly. He was so mysterious that he looked like a celebrity. So what?
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely code it when the time comes!"
…
After the four of them went to the old NPC outside the volcano to accept a mission, they came to the entrance of the volcano's instance.
Lin Luo held a mission scroll in his hand. This was a prestige mission issued by the old NPC. The mission required clearing the 'Black Smoke Lava Cave'. Upon completion, he would be rewarded with five prestige points and a level 10 professional green weapon of his choice.
This is why Lin Luo only went to Longbao to buy armor and not weapons before, because this mission was for him.
After arriving at the entrance of the cave, Lin Luo, the captain, received a reminder.
[Tip: The copy of ‘Black Smoke Lava Cave’ is a level 10 regular copy. The recommended team size is: 4-8 people. Are you sure to challenge this copy? 】
Lin Luo said lightly:
"Confirm challenge!"
Everyone watched the video before coming here.
The difficulty of this dungeon is obviously not to dampen the enthusiasm of players, so the mechanism is deliberately set to be relatively simple. Even if the player cannot react to the mechanism at the first time, he will not die. Moreover, when the mechanism appears the second time, most novices can avoid it.
Pass.
The only slightly difficult aspect of this copy is that there are so many monsters with so much blood!
The dense mobs in the first small level are very annoying. At the same time, a green elite monster and a blue elite monster both have low output but very annoying mechanics.
That's why Tata said just now that as long as the equipment of an eight-man team is not too bad, they can beat it in thirty minutes.
And those so-called racing videos are not actually technically very good, they are just crushed by output.
According to the rules set by the players on the official forum, racing videos can only have a maximum of four people, so Lin Luo called Azijun.
A burst of fiery red light curtain struck, engulfing the figures of Lin Luo and the others.
[Hint: You have arrived at the ‘Black Smoke Lava Cave’! 】
Lin Luo opened his eyes and found that he was in a huge and hot lava cave.
The rock walls in all directions were roasted red. Lin Luo immediately fell into a 'burning' state after entering this dungeon, burning 30 points of blood per minute, and at the same time, the speed of drinking medicine was reduced by 50%, which was a bit of a surprise.
It's a small, disgusting debuff, but it has little real impact.
It is worth mentioning that there is no special achievement activated when entering the dungeon this time, so there is no achievement point reward.
"It seems that the gap between conventional and silver difficulty is not that big."
Lin Luo didn't think much about it. Since this game had a racing nature, the speed had to be fast. They read the guide and quickly rushed towards the first white-named monster in front of them.
[Target: Black Smoke Viper]
【lv10】
[Physical attack power: 180-230]
[Magic attack power: 250-280]
【hp:5000/5000】
[Physical defense: 100-120]
[Magic Defense: 50-80]
[Description: The mutated poisonous snake living in the black smoke lava cave does not have outstanding physical and magical attack power, but you are still in danger when you see it, because it is a terrifying creature with extremely strong reproductive capacity. ]
[Characteristics of the poisonous snakes (poisonous): The damage of the black smoke snake is not high, but it has good venom. The poison of the black smoke snake will reduce the attack power of the person being attacked by 5%]
Obviously these black smoke venomous snakes are basically non-lethal, but there are too many of them, and the snake venom can reduce the attack power, which is undoubtedly to slow down the clearance speed.
But Lin Luo came here just to record, how could he be stopped by these little snakeskins?
You must know that his elemental bursting arrows can only be said to be very advantageous in this dungeon. No matter where they are shot, they will explode with flames and the damage will be high.
--boom!!!
There was no need for Tata to go ahead and pull out the monsters. Lin Luo's ultra-long-range elemental explosion arrow directly dealt nearly 6,000 points of damage.
The poor Black Smoke Viper only had 5,000 HP in total. He was killed instantly by an arrow but still owed Lin Luo 1,000.
For this damage, of course Lin Luo took the auxiliary buff, and also took medicine, which was the buff potion and violent green tea.
There are also restrictions on players taking drugs. Only the highest effect of the same type of potion will be taken. For example, if Lin Luo now has two potions that increase strength, then even if they take them together, they will only take the one with the higher effect. This is to prevent players from becoming
Drug addict.
When Lin Luo is at a super high level and has terrain advantages, he can kill a snake with three basic attacks, and an elemental burst arrow can kill a group of them in seconds, which is terrifyingly fast.
Coupled with Maotou's impressive output, Azijun's buffs, and Tata's slow advancement.
The four of them were like a giant dump truck without emotion, and those poor little monsters were shoveled away instantly like soft soil, without even a chance to resist.
During this period, apart from Maotou drinking a bottle of blood medicine to lift the burned blood volume, and Lin Luo drinking a bottle of blue medicine to replenish blue, there was basically no consumption.
When the time comes to the forty-third second!
The first snake's nest was directly penetrated by violence.
Lin Luo glanced at the timer that was deliberately turned on above, and it was probably similar to what he thought:
"Not bad, the speed is OK, let's continue to the next level."
This black smoke lava cave also has three levels. The first level is called the Snake Venom Lair, which is full of black smoke snake venom. The second level is a green elite monster. The third level is a blue elite monster, which is the final boss.
Boom!
Just as Lin Luo and others entered the second level, the cave behind them suddenly collapsed, and rocks blocked the way behind them.
The four people's expressions remained unchanged. This was the way the elite monster appeared in the second level. They were too lazy to look back.
"--Roar!!!"
A huge red shadow sprang out from the dark rock wall above the head. Its limbs were like a gecko walking on the hot rock wall. Its ferocious head looked at the four people from top to bottom. The picture had some elements of horror movies.
Then it fell from the rock wall with a bang, and it turned out to be a terrifying beast that was more than three meters long and nearly two meters high.
[Target: Young Manticore]
[lv10 (green elite monster)]
[Physical attack power: 400-460]
[Magic attack power: 500-700]
【hp:60000/60000】
[Physical defense: 100]
[Magic Defense: 100]
[Scorpion Racial Characteristics 1 (Strange Beasts): The Scorpion's attacks will have a 20% chance of causing blindness to the target for five seconds (blindness: the target's chance of missing all attacks increases by 50%)
】
[Scorpion Racial Characteristic 2 (Luck of Alien Beasts): All attacks received by the Scorpion will have a 5% chance of being missed directly]
[Evaluation: This is a young mutated manticore that has just been born. The true adult king of manticore has the power to fight against the giant dragon]
This is the first elite monster in the black smoke lava cave.
It is not difficult to say that this monster is difficult, because obviously although it looks ferocious and terrifying, according to its racial characteristics, it can be seen that its racial ability is defensive, and it will not kill players at every turn.
"I'll drive right away!"
Not to mention the many tata, Commander Cade and Woodweaver Allu both faced them head-on. This little manticore was a piece of cake.
Lin Luo and Mao Tou also started outputting like crazy.
Mao Tou asked while showing off his skills:
"Arlo, you won't summon the little skeleton today?"
Lin Luo looked at him like a fool:
"I'm going to post this video online. Why don't I summon the little skeleton? It's okay for us to know this trump card ourselves. There is no need to make it public to the world."
He emphasized:
"You can keep your Exploding Starfall later, we have enough output."
This time, Maotou couldn't use it even if he wanted to, because his skill has huge terrain restrictions and meteorites cannot be summoned into the cave, so it now shows that it cannot be released.
Lin Luo thought about it and felt relieved. The range and lethality of this skill were terrifying, and it must be limited, otherwise it would be too invincible.
Lin Luo is now level 11, and has 800 points of physical attack on the panel, which is higher than the blue elite monsters of the same level. The output is simply ridiculously strong.
At the same time, he also discovered that the young manticore would emit a huge circle of smoke from time to time, and the smoke would surround everyone, causing people to become blind from time to time.
About fifty seconds passed.
Under the concentrated fire of Lin Luo and Mao Tou, the young manticore's blood volume had dropped to three-fifths.
At this moment, the young manticore suddenly ran over and sprayed an extremely huge black smoke towards the front!
[Skill: Manticore Mist]
[Skill description: The young manticore sprays out strange mist from its body, making everyone blind for ten seconds and suffer medium magic damage. 】
This is the first mechanic of the young Manticore.
This mechanism is not difficult. The mist it spits out has a fixed area, which is a fan-shaped area in front of the head.
Players only need to stay very far away, or get close to the manticore's head and dodge to the left and right, to successfully avoid this mechanism.
However, Lin Luo and others were of course too lazy to hide. Any mechanism to hide would waste output time. Lin Luo decided to overcome this mechanism. His blood volume was still very healthy, and he had not used the instant healing potion yet.
As expected, Lin Luo was hit by the skill when he was doing crazy output.
[Tip: You are affected by the Manticore Mist, you become blind, your hit rate is reduced by 50%, and you receive 500 points of magic damage.]
This effect almost made Lin Luo amused, and as expected, there was another rapid notification sound in his ears.
[Tip: This effect has a lower priority than your talent effect, and the blindness judgment fails.]
In addition, Azijun quickly cast Dark Night is Coming, and the blinding effects of Tata and Cat Head were dispelled.
The young manticore's blood volume continued to drop like water.
The intelligence of the green elite monster is not high, so its attack method is very simple and cannot cause much interference to the output environment.
The most important thing is that its defense is very low. Compared with the monsters with extremely high defense in difficult editions, it is as brittle as a Muggle.
During the duration of this round of mechanism, Lin Luo and Maotou continued to output, and knocked down about 20% of its health!
Just before the young manticore had only one-tenth of his health left and was about to activate the violent mechanism, Lin Luo instantly activated his hunter stance, directly causing a 1.5-second stun effect!
This 1.5 seconds was deliberately timed by him, not only to have a stun effect, but also to increase the attack speed and critical hit rate of the Hunter Stance skill itself.
The purpose is to block this violent point and prevent the elite monster from using skills, otherwise it will be delayed for more than ten seconds.
Lin Luo decisively fired three consecutive shots in conjunction with the elemental burst arrows, as well as the surging fireball and frost of the cat-head element. The poor young manticore didn't even have time to release the second violent mechanism, and fell to the ground with a wailing cry, exploding into a streak of white light.
An emerald green loot box and a few gold coins of materials exploded on the spot, and Lin Luo flew over to pick them up vigorously.
At the same time, he rushed to the entrance of the next level and glanced at the timer above.
The time came to one minute, thirty-seven seconds and eight.
"Very good, it seems we can succeed in one go!"
This time cannot be said to be very fast, it can only be said that it is within the acceptable range of Lin Luo. After everyone has experienced the top-level training of the Silver difficult version, playing this kind of regular version always feels uncomfortable.
Even these regular books are even out of reach in the eyes of ordinary players, and they can't even get into them.
Although professional club players and anchors on major platforms are all trying to find ways to race this copy.
But Lin Luo still felt...
Just like playing.
The four of them took the instant recovery potion the moment they entered the third level, and their health and blue levels basically remained above 80%.
At this time, Lin Luo finally saw the last blue-named elite monster in the black smoke volcano.
The reason why those club professional players have the fastest clearance record of ten minutes is because at least half of their time was spent on this blue elite monster.
