Ryan's Sword

Chapter 40 No.40 The Well of Death
"when!"

The vibration of the long sword piercing a hard object was fed back to Ian's hand along the blade. His eyes lit up, and he reached out and groped for it regardless of the stirred up mud and gravel around him.

After a long search, Ian finally found what he was looking for at the bottom of the sea.Judging from the reaction of the sword's impact, what he was looking for should be something like metal.As for the shape and size, judging by the way he was groping and advancing quickly, it seemed that the size of this thing would not be too small.

In fact, what Ian was looking for was a manhole cover.

A giant metal manhole cover with a diameter of more than 50 meters and a total area of ​​about [-] square meters.

This giant manhole cover is hidden deep in the center of the lakebed of Xuanguang Lake. Because of its size, the first player who discovered it thought he had found the wreck of a sunken ship.

Later, after the guild that the player belonged to cleaned up with all their strength, the original appearance of the manhole cover was finally reproduced.

Since it is called a manhole cover, there must be another space under it.Careful players found that the center of the metal manhole cover has a valve handle covered with green patina.When they opened the only entrance they could find, they discovered that there was a large dungeon group distributed vertically downwards like a deep well under the manhole cover. The name of this dungeon group was "deep well of death".

After the news spread, Lewisburg ushered in a wave of curious pioneers.As the first level dungeon "The Beginning of Death" was successfully cleared by the pioneers, the Azure official also released relevant information about this dungeon.

It is reported that this is a large prison that existed before the founding of the Ryan Empire, and was buried deep under Xuanguang Lake for unknown reasons.In this prison, there are countless human beings and aliens infected with undead toxins. After more than a thousand years of time changes, the prisoners in the prison have resisted the erosion of time due to the effect of undead toxins, and under the influence of the toxins, they have become living corpses and aliens. Higher level undead monsters.However, there are powerful seals in the well of death, and the power of these seals inhibits the further growth of these undead monsters.That said, the monsters in this prison are not invincible.

According to the official background setting, the entire dungeon group is composed of seven independent dungeons in total, and the access level requirements for each level will gradually increase. What is outrageous is that the access level of the seventh level has reached the gold level above!This was almost unimaginable at the beginning of Weilan's operation.

At that time, the players had just entered the period of Iron Rank, and it was also the period when they damaged the Azure Order the most.In Louisburg at that time, almost every building had players who exploded with fighting spirit and realized flying over walls. They ignored the law and stole into various important places-anyway, if they were caught, they would be imprisoned for a few hours, and then To be more serious, killing on the spot is at best a small matter such as dropping some experience and equipment.

At this time, the Azure official increased the punishment for the guilty, that is, the death of the red name, and launched a large wave of instance clusters in all the novice areas of Azure.In other words, the well of death is a dungeon scene created to cater to the player's upgrade progress.

Ian spent so much effort, swimming all the way to the center of the lake, and searching until the sun went down, in order to challenge the first layer of the death well.

The entry level of this level of dungeon is required to be above the white level, and the number of recommended people is about five, that is to say, this is a five-player copy of the white level difficulty, and it is not impossible for Ian to solo.

A first pass in any game is a huge honor.In addition, the government will more or less give certain rewards to pioneers.The most common thing is to increase the explosion rate of high-grade equipment, and even have special mechanisms such as designated drops and extra drops. At the same time, in order to stimulate the enthusiasm of players to open up wasteland for the first time, Weilan also specially added the "probability of obtaining skill points" "This important first-pass reward-for players who are committed to going further, skill points are invaluable strategic resources at any time.

Of course, there are no first-pass rewards for those low-intensity novice dungeons near Novice Village for new players to understand the game and familiarize themselves with the operation.After all, there is no so-called difficulty in the dungeon that even novice players can easily clear, so the official also eliminated the corresponding first-pass rewards.

For Ian, who is poor and white at the moment, the first-pass rewards contain what he needs most right now.

——Of course, the poor and the poor here refer to the top-quality equipment, props, and skill points produced by the dungeon.As for the box of magic crystals lying in Ian's space ring, although they are valuable enough to support a medium-sized guild with more than 500 people and maintain stable operation for more than a year, they are inconvenient stolen goods after all.Moreover, with Ian's current level of strength, once he relies too much on black market transactions to obtain what he needs, it is easy to be targeted by underground forces, and even find out his reality.

The man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade, and it is the same reason to put it in Weilan.

It is also because of this that Ian urgently needs to arm himself from head to toe and even teeth to improve his combat effectiveness in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, any enemy in the late stage of the iron rank would be able to hang him, which is by no means a good signal.

In Ian's previous life, the work of clearing and excavating the Deep Well of Death was completed by the concerted efforts of the entire guild. It is conceivable that he is undertaking such a boring and huge workload at this time.

The only good news is that Ian doesn't need to clean up the entire manhole cover like they do.He only needs to find that kind of central point and open the entrance of the dungeon to complete the task.

Even so, Ian still found the bronze valve handle buried deep in the sand after swimming back and forth several times.

Stretching out his hand to hold this rusty old handle, Ian couldn't help feeling filled with emotion.

On the first day he officially entered Lewisburg, his experience was so rich, which was something he hadn't expected at all before.

"So, life is like that, if you can't resist, then...enjoy it!!"

With this thought in his mind, Ian gritted his teeth and pulled open the old valve with a "creak".

"Hint: You found it—the well of death."

"Hint: You are attempting to enter the instance: 'The Beginning of Death'."

"Reminder: The dungeon information display——

The beginning of death:
Access level: above Lv1;

Income limit level: Lv21 or above (please note that players who exceed the level limit and enter the instance will enter the 'income sanction' state and greatly weaken the normal income of teammates);

Recommended team size: 4 people and above;

Recommended equipment: Rare weapons suitable for Lv or above;
Details: A long time ago, the silver race that ruled the world was cursed by the undead.In order to seal the root of the curse, the two most outstanding craftsman races in the world, the dwarves and the titans, decided to join forces, and finally created the strongest cage in the world to imprison the betrayers of all races deep underground.Time has passed, and humans in the Iron Age rediscovered this ancient prison where death was held. Is this the end of the disaster, or a new beginning?Everything, I am afraid that only by entering it can we find out the real answer..."

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar dungeon information in the field of vision, Ian sighed and remembered his lost youth while trying to recall the specific play style of this dungeon.

However, it turns out that this dungeon is too old, and Ian has no other impressions except that there are a variety of undead monsters in this dungeon.

You know, when I downloaded this dungeon, Ian was just a rookie who had just entered Weilan. He still remembered that he was invited by the guild bosses to join them and a group of newcomers. This dungeon group that suddenly became popular.It is conceivable that his most important role in the dungeon is to shout "666" when the big brother bursts out with wonderful operations, and it is normal to have a blurred memory right now.

"After entering, according to the type of monster and the scene, you should be able to think of more things... probably?"

However, Ian couldn't give a definite answer to such a question.

When Ian opened the valve, a dark blue vortex occupying the plane where the valve was originally located appeared in front of his eyes.

Since it was night now, there were no other visible light sources on the seabed except for some fluorescent algae and moss.Therefore, when this vortex appeared, a deep blue light illuminated a large dark space around it as it slowly rotated.

Ian knew that this was the exclusive space portal connecting the Azure main world and the copy space.In fact, almost all the dungeon entrances in his previous life game adopted this kind of swirl-shaped space connection structure.

"Prompt: Please confirm, do you want to enter the instance: 'The Beginning of Death'? (Yes/No)"

"Yes!"

After giving a definite order in his heart, Ian immediately stopped hesitating and reached out to touch the slowly rotating space vortex.Immediately, a whirling force of space distortion enveloped his whole body. If anyone was present, one could see that Ian seemed to have lost his physical form, and was swallowed by the suddenly accelerating space vortex like a stream of water.

"Reminder: It is detected that this dungeon is being challenged for the first time. You cannot choose the challenge difficulty for this challenge. The challenge difficulty is automatically fixed at normal level."

After the dungeon is cleared, players can challenge the higher difficulty of the dungeon to increase the drop rate of rare equipment items.

Generally speaking, the challenge difficulty of ordinary dungeons from low to high is: normal level, adventure level and warrior level; in addition to these three normal difficulty levels, some dungeons in special areas also have two more challenging levels: King level and Nightmare level. high level.Of course, the latter two difficulty levels correspond to large-scale team-type dungeons, which often require one or more large-scale teams with tacit cooperation to successfully pass them.
