Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 114 Near Plane Crash
Standing in front of the dungeon portal, the system notification sound automatically rang in Lin Hanchuan's mind.

"Ding! Please note, do you wish to enter the dungeon—[Trap Corridor]?"

Lin Hanchuan: "Confirmed."

System: "Please select your entry method!"

[Solo], [Squad], [Group]

Lin Hanchuan: "Single!"

For most racing-style dungeons, the more people enter, the worse it is.

In addition, the rewards are not high, so in racing dungeons, players can basically only receive the system's reward for clearing the dungeon after reaching the finish line.

If you fail halfway through, you get nothing.

Especially in the early stages, speed-based dungeons place high demands on players' movement and detection skills.

The twenty or so players currently in the [Trap Corridor] are all very confident in themselves, at least in a leading position in the current Moon Gazing City, but the number of those who have obtained the completion reward can be counted on one hand.

This is why the number of players in the Trap Corridor is less than a fraction of the number in the Goblin Cave.

After the single-player option, proceed directly to the difficulty selection.

System: "Please select the dungeon difficulty."

[Easy], [Normal], [Difficult], [Nightmare], [Hell], [Asura]

Lin Hanchuan: "Shura!"

System: "Please note that you have selected the Shura difficulty level!"

"Friendly reminder: The Shura difficulty level is the highest difficulty in this dungeon, and there is a high probability of death. It is recommended that you first enter a lower difficulty mode to familiarize yourself with the dungeon!"

You have 5 seconds to back out!

“5！4！3！2！1！”

System: "Please enter the [Trap Corridor] instance portal within 30 seconds."

Just as Lin Hanchuan took a step forward and was about to enter the dungeon portal, he heard the sound of Midnight Dance coming from behind him.

"Boss, there might be void traps in the Asura-level dungeon, be careful!"

Lin Hanchuan glanced back at the solo dance in the middle of the night, nodded, and then went inside.

As soon as Lin Hanchuan's figure disappeared, the recording stone lit up with a red light representing the Shura level difficulty. The players waiting outside all looked up at the [Trap Corridor] dungeon portal.

There was an indescribable feeling in his eyes.

For them, speedrunning dungeons are currently their only advantage over other professional players. If a mage takes the first clear, they will always feel a little strange.

"Brother Duwu, can the big boss Huangchuan Baixiao really clear the Shura-level [Trap Corridor] for the first time?" Someone came to Duwu's side and couldn't help but ask.

"Most likely!" Midnight Dance's confidence in Lin Hanchuan was even greater than his own.

"His profession is a mage!" the man couldn't help but remind him.

"Arakawa White Owl, he slaughtered nearly a hundred players who had just changed classes shortly after the server opened. The strength of such a top player cannot be measured by class!" Midnight Dance said seriously. The video of Arakawa White Owl fighting in the [Goblin Cave] had been uploaded to the Advent Forum by several onlookers, and he had watched it several times.

In the video, he kills those players who have changed jobs, it's really no different from killing chickens, maybe even easier.

It's important to know that those players who successfully changed jobs ahead of the vast majority of people in Wangyue City were not ordinary players; most of them were elites brought from the second server by the Madman.

They are not weak.

However, the other side offered virtually no effective resistance and was all killed by Arakawa White Owl.

This only proves one thing—Arakawa White Owl has already left players of the same level far behind.

In the opinion of someone like this, who dances alone at midnight, one cannot judge another person's strengths and weaknesses based on their profession.

He will most likely be the first to clear the [Trap Corridor] dungeon.

…………

brush! !

His vision blurred for a moment, and when it cleared, Lin Hanchuan was already standing at the beginning of a long corridor.

The corridor is enclosed and spacious inside, about three meters wide and four meters high. It winds its way forward, and after looking ahead for about a hundred meters, the corridor reaches a turning point.

The interior was not dimly lit; on the contrary, it was as bright as day, allowing Lin Hanchuan to clearly see the fine patterns on the walls of the corridor.

The first impression of the [Trap Corridor] is that it is clean and tidy, and there are no traps visible to the eye.

But Lin Hanchuan knew that the cleanliness and tidiness were just the surface of the [Trap Corridor]. In reality, it was full of traps, and if you encountered any one of them, you could be sent back to the city.

"Let's give it a try!"

Lin Hanchuan immediately activated the [Infinite Barrier], and a layer of transparent light membrane immediately enveloped his body.

While flying on a sword can avoid touching traps hidden in walls, under floors, and in ceilings, there is also a type of trap called a void trap.

Void traps are traps set in the gaps of the void. They are very well hidden and are difficult to spot unless the player has detection skills or is a player with a space-related class.

Generally speaking, such traps will exist in normal high-difficulty speedrunning dungeons.

Fortunately, the trap level is set according to the dungeon level. The [Trap Corridor] is only level 10. Whether it is the void trap or the traps hidden in various places on the wall, their level will not be high.

As an "expert" on speedrunning dungeons, Midnight Dancer clearly stated in his guide to the difficult-level [Trap Corridor] that the traps are generally F-rank.

Based on this, he speculated that in the Shura-level [Trap Corridor] dungeon, the traps are mostly E-level, with a very few D-level traps possibly existing.

"There must be some spell-related void traps among the void traps!"

Lin Hanchuan summoned the Holy Sword and pondered as he looked at the corridor, "Let's try it first. See if we can get through using only the [Infinite Barrier]. If not, we'll use the Demonic Mist Scroll for an extra layer of protection!"

Lin Hanchuan's method for passing the level is very simple.

Break it with force!

If you encounter a void trap, just run into it. The real problem is spell traps with negative effects like slowing or imprisonment. One or two are fine, but too many will really overwhelm you!

Under Lin Hanchuan's control, the Holy Sword floated horizontally at Lin Hanchuan's calf.

Lin Hanchuan stood on the ground, initially squatting, but after thinking for a moment, he lay directly on the Holy Sword to minimize his contact with the space.

And flying while lying flat on the ground is also quite nice.

"Give it a try!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Lin Hanchuan controlled the Holy Sword to fly.

hum! !

The holy sword was instantly launched.

boom! !

It hadn't flown thirty meters yet.

boom! !

The instant the holy sword grazed past, a spatial rift, like an eye, suddenly opened.

Whoosh! !

Hundreds of throwing knives were released from inside.

A dozen or so of them landed on Lin Hanchuan's defensive barrier, dealing a total of over 700 damage.

Lin Hanchuan immediately used his mana to restore the barrier state, feeling a wave of fear. If the Holy Sword hadn't been fast enough, he would have crashed just now.
