Chapter 22: The First Level of the Netherworld Trial

"It's actually a 1A copy."

After reading the copy introduction, Yu Zhun couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise.

Regular copies are divided into three categories according to the death penalty.

The first type is a copy that allows you to obtain stage rewards after dying in the copy. It is called a lossless copy, also called a 1A copy.

The second is to leave after dying in the copy, but the death penalty will clear the reward copy, which is called a damage-free copy, also called a 2A copy.

The third type is a copy in which one will also lose the qualification to enter the divine world if one dies in the copy. This copy is called a real copy, also called a 3A copy.

It is said that there is a fourth copy above these three.

However, not much is known about this mysterious fourth copy by the outside world. Only players who have reached a certain level of strength are qualified to know it.

In the 1A copy, there is no need to worry about the penalty for death. You just need to fight to the end with all your strength. There is almost no psychological burden, so it is also called the welfare copy.

And now, the Netherworld Trial that Yu Zhun entered turned out to be a welfare trial.

"In that case, let's get started."

Yu Zhun looked around and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

It was extremely dark here. With Yu Zhun's eyesight, he could only barely see what was happening within a five-meter radius. Everything further away was shrouded in darkness.

But in this dark world, there is an exceptionally clear golden beam of light that seems to penetrate the sky and the earth.

Although there are no signs or instructions, even a fool can tell that this is the destination of this trip.

With a stomping of his foot, Yu Zhun suddenly increased his speed and rushed straight towards the distant beam of light.

Skill [Swift Step], activated!

Under the simultaneous effects of [Swift Step] and the equipment effect [Shadow Blade], Yu Zhun's movement speed when out of combat increased by 110%, making him like a shadow in the darkness, and even his figure seemed a little blurry when he ran so fast.

The surroundings were dark and silent, but Yu Zhun never dared to relax even a little.

"Whoosh!"

There was a sudden sound of breaking wind, and the next moment Yu Zhun caught a glimpse of a faint blue color out of the corner of his eye.

Skill [Sword Dance], activated!

His body instantly became flexible and twisted at an incredible angle, narrowly avoiding the dark blue color.

Then he saw clearly that it was a dark blue arrow.

Archer?
With a start in his heart, his body almost instinctively turned around and rushed towards the direction of the arrow under the [Sword Dance]. After dodging several arrow attacks and rushing forward for more than ten meters, he saw the attacker clearly.

It was a woman with a body shape similar to that of a human, but her skin was green and covered with dark magic patterns. She had fangs in her mouth that could not be covered by her lips. She had an ugly face and her body was wrapped in clothing made of animal skins.

She held a bow and arrow in her hand, and the quiver on her back was filled with the same arrows as before.

The moment she appeared, words appeared in front of Yu Zhun's eyes.

[Demonized Orc Archer (Lv10)]

【Attributes:
Life: 20000
Mana: 500
Physical Attack: 700
Magic attack: 0
Physical Defense: 100
Magic Defense: 100】

Yu Zhun: “…”

Are you sure this value is Lv10?

Except for the lower HP and less exaggerated mana bar, this thing has the same attributes as the three major bosses in the Novice Village, okay? !
It’s so exciting as soon as I arrived, it’s worthy of being a copy.

However, the three big bosses posed no threat to Yu Zhun, and the opponent in front of him would naturally not be his match.

"My name is Yu Zhun." Yu Zhun raised the [Dark Bloodthirsty Dagger] in his hand, stomped his feet, and rushed towards the other party, "I'm here to kill you!"

“￥@#@%#…” The demonized orc archer mumbled in a language that Yu Zhun could not understand. He drew the bow so fast that an afterimage appeared, and shot out seven or eight arrows in a short moment.

At such a close distance, even Yu Zhun, who activated [Sword Dance], was unable to completely dodge and was hit by the arrow. However, under the effect of the protective gear skill [Stone], 50% of the magic defense was transferred to physical defense at the moment of being hit, and the damage was reduced by half under [Voiding], so the blood loss was not even %.

"%￥#..." Looking at Yu Zhun who was charging towards her, the voice of the demonized orc archer became sharp and rapid. She suddenly dropped the longbow in her hand, and in Yu Zhun's astonished eyes, she pulled out a dagger from her waist.

No...are you an archer or an assassin?

Forget it, it's not important.

With the help of the [Sword Dance] fighting skill, Yu Zhun twisted his body quickly, dodging the dagger stabbed by the demonized orc archer, while stabbing the opponent's abdomen with the dagger in his hand.

【Life-20000】

Big red words popped up above the demonized orc archer's head. She covered her wound unwillingly, fell heavily to the ground, and the light in her eyes quickly disappeared.

Equipment effect [Thirst] takes effect.

【Life+2000】

Big green words appeared above Yu Zhun’s head, instantly restoring his health bar.

"It would be great if the excess healing energy could be converted into a shield." Yu Zhun sighed with some regret and continued to move towards the light column.

On the way forward, Yu Zhun met two more demonized orc archers. The three archers did not pose any threat to him, so they simply took their lunch boxes. Yu Zhun also successfully arrived in front of the light column.

The base of the light column is a golden formation. As long as you have some knowledge of the copy, you will be familiar with this formation.

This is a teleportation array that teleports players to another map.

It seems that there is more than one map in the Netherworld Trial.

As soon as he stepped into it, lines of text appeared in front of Yu Zhun's eyes.

[Congratulations on successfully passing the first level of the Netherworld Trial! ]

[Current stage rewards: Experience +1000, 5 Lv1 excellent equipment of your choice, 10 equipment strengthening stones! ]

[You can claim all stage rewards when you leave]

[Leave] [Go to next level]

“Do I even need to choose?” Yu Zhun went directly to the next floor.

After a dizzying moment, he reappeared in a completely new dark world.

Like the first floor, there is also a beam of light here, and the surrounding environment is different from the first floor.

After some thought, Yu Zhun has roughly understood the process of the Netherworld Trial copy.

Kill the monsters that block your way, reach the teleportation array on each floor, and go to the next floor through the teleportation array to get the rewards of that floor.

I just don't know how many levels this Netherworld Trial has.
-
Shenqi Hall, the side hall of the deputy hall master.

Ji Ruoxu brewed a pot of his favorite scented tea and slowly opened a book to read.

Reading while drinking tea is his favorite way to relax.

The deputy hall master has a lot of affairs to attend to, and this short period of leisure is hard-earned.

"boom--"

The door of the side hall was suddenly pushed open, and the scented tea in Ji Ruoxu's hand shook, and the tea soup spilled out and fell on the open book, wetting it all.

After a brief silence, Ji Ruoxu smiled and looked up at the person who came.

"You better have a valid reason for not knocking."

"Deputy Palace Master, the Netherworld Trial Dungeon has been opened!"

"Well... that's a valid reason."
