Chapter 129 Endless Beast Tide
As he spoke, Yi Ye Du Zui glanced out of the corner of his eye at Cao Renjie, Long Xiaochen, and Long Xiaoyue standing behind Lin Hanchuan.

There's also a little NPC.

These should be the entire members of the first squad in District 9—the Heavenly Path Squad.

The phrase "drunk all night" is very precise.

It's about taking, not swiping.

In his view, the fact that Arakawa Shiro, who had already had two successful first-time experiences, led the Heavenly Path Squad to the Endless Beast Tide on their first mission clearly indicated that they were after the profits from the Endless Beast Tide.

"Hmm, do you have any good suggestions?" Seeing that the other party recognized him, Lin Hanchuan didn't put on airs and asked immediately.

Long Xiaoyue had collected some strategies for the Endless Beast Tide, but it was impossible for her to know more than Yi Ye Du Zui, who had just completed the first clear of the difficult level Endless Beast Tide.

"For the hard difficulty level, I can give you a complete guide. With your skill, you could clear it with your eyes closed," said One Night Alone generously. "But for the Asura level, I've only led a team down it once. I couldn't even survive the first wave of insect swarms and had to quit the dungeon."

Games are also a form of social interaction.

Lin Hanchuan was unpretentious, and he naturally enjoyed a night of drinking alone.

The two became friends.

Lin Hanchuan received a strategy guide for the difficult-level [Endless Beast Tide] from Yiye Duzui.

Lin Hanchuan glanced at it and lost interest.

The walkthrough is entirely machine-generated text information, which is basically a simple text summary of the cached video of clearing the [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon, with some dialogue from players during the battle also included.

If you want to sell it for a good price, you need to refine the "One Night of Solitary Drinking" video.

"Thanks!" Lin Hanchuan still expressed his gratitude.

"Boss, you're too kind!" One Night Drunkard said with a smile, "My guide will basically be of no use to you in clearing the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide]."

Seeing that Long Xiaochen and Cao Renjie were both staring at him, Yiwan Duzui felt embarrassed to keep chatting with Lin Hanchuan, so he quickly said something.

"Then I won't disturb you while you're doing your dungeon run!"

Even a night of drinking alone can be quite busy.

He led a team to farm the [Endless Beast Tide].

Aside from having a tiny bit of interest in the profits from the "Endless Beast Tide," he mainly wants to sell strategy guides.

Having just secured the top spot in the "Endless Beast Tide" record, I, Yi Ye Du Zui, want to take advantage of this moment to quickly sell some strategy guides.

In the early stages of the server launch, dungeon guides were very expensive.

Many players who have just entered the city will buy dungeon strategy videos while changing their class, hoping to accumulate resources while quickly leveling up by running dungeons.

My rough, machine-translated guide to the difficult level of "Endless Beast Tide" won't be of much help to a pro like Arakawa Shiro, but it's still incredibly tempting to the vast majority of players here.

At this moment, dozens of eyes were fixed on him and Arakawa Shiro. A few recognized Arakawa Shiro by his appearance. I don't know for sure, but most of them definitely wanted to buy his first-hand strategy for winning the [Endless Beast Tide] title.

"Okay! You must be busy too!" Lin Hanchuan nodded.

Lin Hanchuan led the Heavenly Dao Squad straight to the portal to the [Endless Beast Tide] instance.

"Ding! Please note, do you wish to enter the dungeon—[Endless Beast Tide]?"

A system message notification sounded, and Lin Hanchuan began selecting the option to enter the dungeon as usual.

Lin Hanchuan: "Yes!"

System: "Please select your entry method!"

[Solo], [Squad], [Group]

Lin Hanchuan: "Team!"

System: "Please select the final reward distribution method for this instance!"

[Exclusive], [Random], [Roll]

Lin Hanchuan: "Exclusive!"

System: "Please select the dungeon difficulty."

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

Lin Hanchuan: "Shura!"

The instant the option is chosen.

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！”

The countdown has ended.

All members of the Heavenly Path Squad received instructions to prepare for entering the [Endless Beast Tide] instance.

"Ding! Please note that you are required to enter the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon within 30 seconds!"

Seeing the lit-up dungeon portal in front of them, Lin Hanchuan, holding Xingchen's hand, stepped inside.

Cao Renjie followed closely behind.

Long Xiaochen and Long Xiaoyue walked one after the other.

After they all went in.

A bright red light emerged from the recording stone.

Everyone's gaze shifted to the recording stone, then to the dungeon portal, while simultaneously recalling the people who had just entered the dungeon.

"Four people with a contracted NPC girl dare to raid a level 15 Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide]? Which server are these top players from?"

"The players in District 9 are getting braver and braver."

"Even the top-ranked warrior, Arakawa Shirakatsu, wouldn't dare to jump straight into the Asura level without trying other difficulties of the Endless Beast Tide!"

Hearing the surrounding noise, a player who was discussing with Yiye Duzui about purchasing first-hand strategy resources for the difficult-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The leader of the team that entered the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon, wasn't he just chatting with you? Who is he?! He went straight to the Asura level!"

One Night Alone glanced at him and said indifferently, "You expect me to bow and greet you first, and then immediately tackle a Shura-level dungeon? In our city, how many players have that kind of strength?"

The man understood immediately and exclaimed, "Arakawa White Owl!"

As soon as the voice fell, the doubts that had been rising and even growing louder were instantly silenced by the words "Arakawa White Owl".

It seems like everyone is saying it.

"It's him!"

"That's okay!"

……

……

Inside the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon.

The sky was deep blue.

The green grass stretched as far as the eye could see, like a layer of goose down spread on the ground, and it felt very soft underfoot.

Lin Hanchuan looked around, but there was nothing in his field of vision; it was completely empty.

Long Xiaochen summoned a jungle hyena and made it run backward quickly.

After running only twenty meters or so, he crashed heavily into an invisible, soft barrier.

Seeing this, Long Xiaochen remained calm and told the jungle hyena to run to the left. After running about fifty meters, it crashed into the hyena again. There was a barrier about fifty meters to the right as well.

Further on.

This time, I ran quite far, about 200 meters, before hitting the barrier.

"A closed spawning environment!" Long Xiaochen immediately informed Lin Hanchuan of the information he had gathered, saying, "The current closed spawning environment is 100 meters wide and 220 meters long. The beast tide will most likely start spawning from the barrier in front!"

Lin Hanchuan looked calmly up at the sky and threw out a magic arrow.

boom! !

It flew less than 30 meters before crashing into a transparent barrier, Lin Hanchuan later added.

"About 28 meters tall!"

All the information told everyone that they were currently inside a completely enclosed cuboid, but Cao Renjie and Long Xiaoyue remained calm.

The defining characteristic of endless monster-themed dungeons is that they confine players to a closed area with no escape route, forcing them to face a large number of monsters.

Otherwise, if you keep running ahead while the monsters keep chasing you like a tide, how can you play? The system won't be happy either.

Just at this time!
"Ding! Please note that the first wave of beasts—[Endless Insect Plague]—will appear in 3 minutes. Please hold out for 30 minutes during this phase, or kill 10 Queen Insects!"

As the system notification sounded, a faint black layer began to appear on the front of his vision, the very front that Long Xiaochen had scouted with the jungle hyena. The grassland that had once been lush and green and stretched as far as the eye could see.

"2 minutes and 59 seconds!"

……

"2 minutes and 01 seconds!"

……

Time ticked by, and the darkness at the edge of the field of vision grew ever more intense.

This is a precursor to a beast tide.

Lin Hanchuan looked at Cao Renjie and said, "When the time comes, you should focus your protection efforts on Xingchen!"

Then she looked at Long Xiaochen.

"Arrange for two hyenas to guard the star, one on the left and one on the right. If any danger arises, let your pets go first."

Cao Renjie and Long Xiaochen nodded repeatedly.

But I still sighed inwardly.

This is only the first wave of monsters in the [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon. Captain, you really don't need to panic so much.

Long Xiaoyue, without Lin Hanchuan needing to say anything, had already quietly stood beside Xingchen and said, "Xingchen, stay with me later, let's help Brother Huang and the others win, okay?"

“Okay!!” Xingchen nodded with high spirits.

"30 seconds!"

"29 seconds!"

……

When the countdown reaches less than half a minute.

Woohoo! !

A series of muffled hums echoed at the end, where an endless black wave was surging. Within a black shadow like a dark cloud, tiny insect-like creatures darted about rapidly.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

The countdown has ended.

Lin Hanchuan saw a group of insect-like monsters, resembling centipedes, crawling along the ground like a rolling carpet, heading towards him.

Ground centipede

Level: 5

Rank: Ordinary

Blood volume: 300
Attack: 20-80
A summon of the level 15 Lord-level Queen Insect King. It is agile, highly poisonous, and the liquid it sprays out after death still contains toxins.

Lin Hanchuan glanced at this information and then focused his gaze on the queen insect, who was slowly crawling behind the group of centipedes.

It was a huge white worm.

The chest cavity was open, and centipedes crawled out from inside, swarming towards Lin Hanchuan in dense numbers.

"Stars, just grant me a wish for mastery of two-handed magic!"

Lin Hanchuan said this specifically.

I was afraid she would give too much.
