Legend of the Pinnacle of Online Games

Chapter 97 Even if it means gritting your teeth, you have to go in.
"Madman, you beat the game?"

As soon as they saw the madman, someone shouted and asked.

Everyone present looked at the madman.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, they quickly realized that something was wrong.

When Madman entered the Goblin Cave dungeon before, it was a full 10-person team, but now, only three people, including Madman, have come out.

As for the remaining people who didn't come out...

Some players at the scene drank potions the moment they saw the Madman appear, and immediately opened the battle power ranking to look for the IDs of several people who did not appear with the Madman.

They're no longer in their original positions, and they've all been moved back too far.

There is only one reason why this happened.

Madman failed to complete the Shura-level [Goblin Cave] dungeon this time, and seven people died.

How long has it been since?

Not even half an hour!
Based on the fact that it took Madman and his team one hour and twenty minutes to advance through the Nightmare-level Goblin Cave, they have barely made one-third of their progress in the Asura-level Goblin Cave dungeon.

"The Madman failed his first attempt to clear the Shura-level [Goblin Cave] dungeon!"

"Seven of the experts who went in with him died!"

Some discussions began to circulate among the players.

Standing at the entrance of the dungeon, after drinking three potions, Madman looked up into the crowd as if searching for something. He then turned to his companion, who had been guarding outside the dungeon, and asked, "Where's Arakawa White Owl? Has he come out?"

His companion shook his head and whispered, "He hasn't come out yet. He's still number one on the combat power ranking."

This is quite clear: Arakawa White Owl is not dead; he is still in the Shura-level [Goblin Cave] dungeon.

The madman's face turned somewhat ugly after hearing this.

No one knew better than him just how difficult it was to farm the Shura-level [Goblin Cave] dungeon.

The two elite goblins guarding the gate were easy to deal with; they were taken care of in no time.

After resolving the initial hurdles, upon entering the main hall, you'll be besieged by over forty goblins, the weakest of whom are elite-level, with five or six being lords.

Ranged combat, melee combat.

Mage, assassin.

Goblins have all sorts of professions.

They even knew how to coordinate their attacks under the orders of those lord-level goblins.

After a fierce battle, although they eventually managed to wipe them all out, two died. One tank was killed by a combined attack from the goblin mages and archers. The other assassin disobeyed orders, believing he could take the enemy lord's head from among the enemy troops, and then he was gone too.

Some expert players have a common problem that they can't seem to shake: they can't see the situation clearly and always think they can outsmart the competition.

It doesn't matter much for low-difficulty dungeons, since the difficulty level is already there.

Even if you don't have top-tier combat power at the Asura level, you still have to show off. You deserve to die!

Two players died at the start, putting a lot of pressure on the other team members. Fortunately, they found a two-star Jungle Gem in the bronze treasure chest, which provided an extra reward for the first stage of the Shura-level [Goblin Cave] dungeon, which cheered everyone up a bit.

After leaving the hall and entering a downhill section, the journey wasn't too difficult, as thieves had scouted the area beforehand.

But then things got really outrageous.

Even now, the madman still finds it unbelievable that there was a goblin dark wizard in the level 10 [Goblin Cave] dungeon!
A rare gem, one in ten thousand, appeared out of nowhere, without any preparation. The dark wizard used his cheating and cheating dark magic and potions to continuously strengthen his goblins.

Each goblin carries venom, yet we still push through the tunnels.

In direct combat, their own damage output against the goblins was already low, and with the black wizard constantly throwing potions to heal them, the damage from their attacks became even more negligible. Two assassins in the team suggested an assassination attempt, and the madman agreed. However, as he entered stealth mode, close to the black wizard, he was inexplicably cursed and instantly killed.

During the retreat, two more were chased and killed.

There was one death spot left, which belonged to the thief. He wanted to try to pass through the left-hand passage, which had been scouted and confirmed to be a trap, and then... nothing happened.

Seven people in the team died at once, leaving only three.

There's really no need to push it further.

Back in the hall, the Madman deliberately waited with the remaining two people for a while, only coming out after he felt that Arakawa Shiro and the others had been killed and returned to the city.

did not expect.

Arakawa White Owl didn't come out!
He's still inside!

Under the watchful eyes of so many people, the madman's face visibly darkened.

Looking back at the entrance to the Goblin Cave dungeon behind him, Madman gritted his teeth and made a decision that went against his ancestors' wishes.

Continue down the Asura-level dungeon!

"You take a few of the stronger brothers and come with me to the [Goblin Cave] dungeon!" Madman made a quick decision; with so many people watching, he had no other choice.

He either admits defeat on the spot, or he will become the laughing stock of all the players in Wangyue City in the next second.

He could either grit his teeth and try the Shura-level [Goblin Cave] dungeon again, and if Arakawa White Owl failed to clear it, he would have room to maneuver.

In this world, saving face is more important than life itself.

"Madman, what difficulty level do you want?" his companion asked cautiously.

"Asura level!" the madman replied immediately. "Hurry up and arrange for people to go. Five thousand each person will be given to anyone willing to go!"

The difficulty level of the Shura class made his companion look quite grim, but after hearing that it would cost five thousand yuan per transaction, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Row!"

Players who change jobs are protected by their level.

No matter how many times you die, you'll eventually stop at level 10!
Otherwise, if you're below level 10, do you expect the system to send you back to the beginner village to start all over again?
Not long after.

The madman gathered 10 people and went inside again.

Even if we have to stay in the [Goblin Cave] dungeon and do nothing, we'll hold out until Arakawa White Owl and the others come out.

……

……

"Boss! Are we getting closer up ahead?"

Cao Renjie, who was cleaning up the fallen items, held a bronze-grade longsword and asked Lin Hanchuan a question.

After obtaining the [Goblin Sacrifice Map], the team, led by Lin Hanchuan, advanced rapidly and did not encounter any more troublesome goblins like the Black Wizard.

I've already claimed the reward for the third stage of the Shura-level [Goblin Cave] dungeon: a long spear stuck in the ground, level 10 silver +8!

An absolutely top-tier weapon.

But it was far from what was expected.

Since receiving the third-stage reward, they have killed two waves of goblins, totaling over a hundred.

The experience points on my personal panel mean I'm not far from level 12.
