As soon as he said this, he immediately figured out the answer himself. Swiftly scrolling through the combat messages, he said: “The mob can be affected by crowd control skills!”
This was a magic-type mob. It used skills.
However, the Wardcaster struck just now and immediately sealed its skills. The mob could only use a basic attack. That’s why it didn’t hurt getting hit by it. The Abysswalker did that because he didn’t know how much damage the basic attack dealt, so he wanted to give it a try.
What the hell…… did the two Aces discuss this just now?
How come they seemed as if they had coordinated in advance? What kind of thought process was this?
While Willow & Swamp thought about this, he nimbly added enhancement buffs for the two Aces.
The Wardcaster’s single-target sealing skill only lasted 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, before Willow & Swamp’s heart could even rise to his chest, he already saw the mob starting to explode consecutively with loud bangs, and then collapse immediately afterwards.
[Combat] Total Annihilation casted Volatile Storm.
[Combat] Dalong’s Minion has died.
Willow & Swamp was shocked.
The people far away on the other path were also shocked.
Wooden Shackles and the others were all paying close attention to the activity on the two Ace’s side.
Not long after the Abysswalker finished asking his questions, sure enough, combat messages appeared in chat. The mob practically seemed as if it had died in the blink of an eye. Wasn’t this too fast!
“Oh fuck, amazing!”
“Did anything drop?”
“Are there any discoveries?”
Fang JingXing bent down and picked up an item that dropped on the ground. He discovered that it was in the shape of a 3-dimensional triangle. It was neither crafting material nor equipment. Taking a screenshot, he posted it in the squad chat and said: “A special item to get through the dungeon. You guys fight the mobs over that and see if the same item will drop?”
Wooden Shackles said: “……How do we fight it?”
Fang JingXing: “Be patient and observe carefully. Every once in a while, a mob will leave the group. Pick that time to attack. Lure it somewhere else to hit it. After you lure it, remember to control it and don’t let it use skills.”
Wooden Shackles said: “Alright.”
Fang JingXing added: “It won’t leave very far, so pay careful attention you guys. Don’t damage the surrounding mobs by accident.”
The guild leaders were no noobs. They said: “Don’t worry. Thanks, Ace.”
Fang JingXing said: “No problems.”
He put away the item and went to the corner again. He discovered that after this mob died, the remaining mobs had all run off, figures disappearing without a trace.
The three-man little squad continued forward using the previous method. They just walked out 10 meters when they heard a series of curses coming from the chat channel.
“Dammit!”
“Gah!”
“Fuck!”
Willow & Swamp said: “What’s the matter?”
There was no reply from over there, but the combat messages answered him.
[Combat] Xing TianCheng has died.
[Combat] The Person in the Mirror has died.
[Combat] White Dragonbone has died.
Fang JingXing said with a smile: “What happened?”
Wooden Shackles said: “I don’t know, we also split the squad up.”
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Morning Departure speculated: “When we saw the combat messages just now, they were pulling the mob. Who knows if some kind of accident occurred.”
As soon as he finished speaking, perhaps out of extreme depression or fear of being suspected of having skills issues, the Person in the Mirror instantly sent a horn without even waiting to be revived.
[Horn] The Person in the Mirror: The ball, it fell from the ceiling [Lighting a cigarette wearily]
Ktf qfbqif lc atf vecufbc: “…….”

They could imagine a scene of those three stepping on a switch while luring a mob, then the iron ball falling from the sky and hitting them on the head with a ‘surprise’. Instantly, they felt that even Gu Wen and Meteor Ironwood weren’t that tragic.

[World] Tomato and Eggs: Are the Aces playing the hidden dungeon?

They advanced forward, fighting mobs whenever they encountered them. Each side collected two special items and finally joined forces successfully in front of a wall.
The wall had five differently shaped grooves inside it. The answer was clear with one glance.
They had collected four special items, and they were still missing one.
Jiang Chen turned his head and looked around. They had to split into four groups because of the four paths, but there were only three exits here. This indicated that one of the paths was a dead end.
They carefully backtracked on the third road.
A few minutes later, they encountered a wave of mobs. Fang JingXing lured one over. The remaining people attacked in unison, extremely fast. They obtained the 5th special item and as such, returned to the wall and embedded the items one by one into the grooves there.
With a loud rumble, the wall split in half down the middle, revealing a straight passageway.
The passageway was about 10 meters. The view opened up at the end, but it was temporarily impossible to see what’s inside. However, they didn’t lower their guard and advanced while clearing the road with fireworks as before. Slowly walking over, they discovered a rectangular pool of poison.
There were several stone pillars in the pool of poison. The opposite side was another passageway.
Very clearly, these stone pillars were meant to be used by the players. They just had to jump over and reach the other side.
Wooden Shackles said: “”It’s…… this simple?”
Fang JingXing pulled out fireworks and hit one of the stone pillars on the side, saying: “That seems to be the case.”
Wooden Shackles thought briefly.
If the fireworks didn’t exist, the previous challenge basically required human lives to figure out the correct path. So it’s not impossible for the difficulty of this level to be adjusted lower.
Regardless of whether it’s true or not, they still had to jump.
Just in case, they went one by one. Wooden Shackles led the way. He jumped onto the first stone pillar and started to advance.
The rest of the four people watched together.
They saw him jump halfway, then suddenly a familiar figure leapt out of the poisonous pool. It was Gu Wen.
Wooden Shackles was stunned for a moment, then immediately returned to his senses and tried to dodge.
Unfortunately, it was already too late. With lightning speed, Gu Wen charged over and grabbed him by the shoulders, pushing him into the poisonous pool. They fell down with a splash of water.
[Combat] Wooden Shackles has died.
The scene was completely silent.
Two seconds later, Morning Departure said: “What was that just now? Did you guys see it clearly?”
Fang JingXing guessed: “The people who died before might have their souls enter the pool of poison, becoming mobs that attack their squadmates.”
Willow & Swamp: “…… Too cruel!”
Fang JingXing said with a smile: “In any case, let’s be careful.”
He jumped on a stone pillar, avoided a squadmate’s devious claws midway, and successfully reached the opposite side.
Jiang Chen followed close behind and also went over easily.
With mental preparations, Morning Departure and Willow & Swamp weren’t so caught off guard like Wooden Shackles. In any case, they passed the daunting experience without a mishap.
The four people followed the passageway and continued forward, reaching a spacious great hall.
The stranger was currently sitting in the main seat drinking liquor. Seeing them, he got up and said with a sinister smile: “Here I was thinking that after I finish this cup, I’d come and kill you guys. Who would have imagined, you guys delivered yourselves to my door just like this.”
Oh, there was no Boss #1 or #2. Just this one final boss.
The four people subconsciously reflected on this dungeon. Even though the first challenge was disgusting, after playing it a few times and remembering the traps clearly, the only hard part would be pulling the mobs.
If no one died during the first challenge, the second challenge, the pool of poison, would be easy to pass as well.
Naturally, noobs whose skills weren’t up to par, might get a headache over it for a long time.
Meanwhile, the 3rd challenge was this final boss.
Looking at it this way, the difficulty part of this dungeon was most likely on this boss itself.
Willow & Swamp watched the boss slowly amble over to the middle of the great hall and stop moving, as if waiting for them to head over. He said: “We don’t have a Warrior or Cleric, how are we going to fight it?”
Morning Departure said: “As much as we can, I guess.”
He was a Swordsman. After speaking, he went to start the battle.
The remaining three people followed him over. Waiting for him to gain control over the aggro, they also started to hit it.
Without a Cleric to replenish blood, they could only take potions.
Even though the potions from the shop added a lot of blood at once, once it went into cooldown, they wouldn’t be able to use it anymore.
With a whoosh, the boss released an AOE. Both Jiang Chen and Fang JingXing were left with a sliver of health.
The two people hastily backed up and avoided the next round of attacks, waiting to take potions to recover HP again.
The boss’s aggro was still on Morning Departure. He ignored them and struck twice at Morning Departure again. Instantly, the latter was also left with only a sliver of blood.
Immediately afterwards, the boss’s 2nd round of AOE fell.
Morning Departure and Willow & Swamp, who just happened to step into the attack range, instantly ate dirt.
The boss laughed loudly. Turning around abruptly, he looked towards the remaining two people.
Jiang Chen just detonated a round of warding talismans. After stacking the damage, his aggro was higher than Fang JingXing.
Seeing the boss heading towards him, Jiang Chen backed up once again, feeling like it’s about to be over for him. At this time, he glanced around with the corner of his eyes. Suddenly catching sight of something next to the seat, he made a questioning noise.
Fang JingXing was standing right beside him. Seeing this, he glanced over and instantly understood his meaning.
The great hall was built underground. Several fire pillars stood around inside it.
One of the pillars was placed near the seat, a flame burning on the tippy-top. The body of the pillar had decorations made of iron, which were bent into beautiful looking arcs.
He swiftly opened his bag and took out a useless magic staff that dropped just now when farming dungeons. Placing it against the armrest of the chair and the decorations on the pillar, he created a path.
At the same time, the cooldown of Jiang Chen’s health potion ended.
He immediately took one and forcibly tanked this round of attack from the boss. Turning around, he stepped onto the chair, then the armrest, and followed the path up from Fang JingXing’s staff, jumping onto the fire pillar.
After waiting a moment and discovering that he didn’t lose HP, he sat comfortably on top of the fire.
In Wandering Dreams, some bosses can cast their skill into the air, some can’t.
The game developers probably never imagined players would play like this. As such, this boss belonged to the ones that couldn’t cast into the air. He could only cast horizontally at the same level. Now that Jiang Chen was sitting on the pillar, the boss couldn’t look up, so he only aimed his skills at the stone pillar.
Releasing one after another, without any change in his tempo.
Meanwhile, enveloped in flames, Jiang Chen looked down at him, leisurely throwing down warding talismans.
Fang JingXing instantly laughed out loud.
Not under the boss’s aggro, Fang JingXing was pretty free right now.
However, due to distance issues, the Wardcaster could only use the same few skills to whittle down the boss slowly. If Fang JingXing helped hit the boss from below, sooner or later, he would gain aggro. As such, he had no choice but to go up as well.
The only problem was the limited space up above. It seemed that only one person could sit there.
At this time, the other 8 people in the squad were currently waiting for them at the entrance of the dungeon. After hearing Morning Departure and Willow & Swamp’s recount, they knew that the Aces were about to die and come out as well. However, after waiting a while, they heard this conversation from the squad channel.
Jiang Chen: “Get off.”
Fang JingXing: “No.”
Jiang Chen: “Then what do you want?”
Fang JingXing: “You get up, and sit on my lap?”
Jiang Chen: “Get lost.”
Fang JingXing: “Then I’ll sit on your lap?”
Jiang Chen: “You can try and see.”
Fang JingXing said with a smile: “Stop playing.”
The 8 people: “……wow.”
What kind of vulgar words are these?
The conversation in the chat channel paused for a second, then the voices vanished completely.
The Person in the Mirror called out twice cautiously. Not receiving a reply, he guessed that they had switched channels.
The 8 people looked at each other in dismay, no one daring to speak.
A few seconds later, The Person in the Mirror said incredulously: “Could they be…… shoving public displays of affection right in the boss’s face? Is that boss going to spare them for this?”
The remaining 7 people: “……”
Who the hell knows!
😉💖😉💖
haha so funny. thanks for your hard work 🙂
the poor boss having to witness this “vulgar” scene even though he can’t even look up xD 😂😂😂
Thank you for the chapter <3
