Chapter 57 - Entering Frost Dragon City
Chapter 57: Entering Frost Dragon City
In Tribe, there were two types of secret realms. One was a public secret realm that could be explored endlessly. It was a good place for players to level up and farm troops. Even if they could not beat it, they could leave in time.
The other was a unique secret realm. All players could only enter once in their lives, and they only had one chance to clear it. Regardless of whether they cleared it or not, they could not enter it again if they left or died.
Of course, the rewards were also very rich. The prerequisite was that one could clear it. Otherwise, everything would be for naught.
Thinking of this point, Li Cheng did not hesitate and walked into the secret realm. When choosing the difficulty, he chose to challenge the highest difficulty, Nightmare-level.
“Ding, dong, you’ve chosen the Nightmare-level difficulty. Under this difficulty, the highest level allows ten thousand players to challenge it at the same time. Each person can bring a maximum of one hundred thousand troops.
“Ding, dong, are you sure you wish to proceed?”
“Yes!”
Just as Li Cheng’s voice fell, a ray of light descended from the sky and enveloped Li Cheng and his troops. Then, it disappeared.
“Ding, dong, you’ve entered the Nightmare-level Frost Dragon City.
“Ding, dong, you’ve been affected by an unknown effect. All monster attributes in the secret realm have increased by fifty percent. Your troops’ attributes have decreased by fifty percent.
“Ding, dong, the countdown has begun! Twenty-three hours and fifty-nine minutes left! Please complete the challenge within the stipulated time!
“Ding, dong, current mystical realm challenge success requirement—clear all monsters!”
A series of system notifications rang in Li Cheng’s ears.
Nightmare-level secret realms could only be cleared by gathering the troops of over 10,000 players.
10,000 players, 100,000 troops per person—that was a total of one billion troops. Only then was it possible to clear the secret realm. It was a little unrealistic to clear the level alone.
Of course, this was only true for ordinary people. Li Cheng was not one of them.
At this moment, an ice-blue halo instantly appeared below Li Cheng’s troops.
This was the debuff of a secret land. The attributes of all troops would be reduced by half, and all monsters’ attributes would be increased by half. No matter how strong one was, one could only display half of their troops’ strength. This was the terrifying aspect of a Nightmare-level secret realm.
Li Cheng did not bother with this debuff. Instead, he looked at the entire secret realm.
The interior of the secret realm was a vast expanse of whiteness. It was no different from the outside world. However, this did not stop Li Cheng. Under his observation, he discovered that there were no changes to this secret realm. It was exactly the same as in his previous life.
He knew that the seemingly calm ice and snow actually hid countless terrifying Frost Dragons. They were all flying in the sky and their huge bodies could fuse with the ice and snow.
For those who did not understand, they would suffer a great loss. In his previous life, the players had been caught unprepared. Some Lords were all melee fighters, and without long-range attack units, they could only retreat dejectedly.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng shook his head slightly. This time, he planned to clear the dungeon alone. Naturally, he was prepared, so he led his troops forward.
The enemies in the arcane realm were mainly the Dragon Blood Warriors. However, compared to the outside world, their attributes were much stronger. Their tiers had reached level seven, and they were mostly level 30 monsters.
Moreover, their equipment column had additional gold equipment—Gold Dragonbone Armor. It could increase physical defense and magic resistance by 12%.
Of course, all of this was useless to Li Cheng. When he saw the monsters, he immediately ordered all the troops to start clearing them out.
In an instant, countless arrows shot out into the sky. The Dragon Blood Warriors did not react at all. Their health bars were emptied and the kill notifications kept ringing.
Li Cheng did not care about this. Instead, he looked at the sky. The truly troublesome ones were there.
Roar!
Suddenly, a terrifying dragon that was dozens of meters long appeared in the sky. The dragon’s scales reflected the cold light. It was opening its mouth wide, revealing its sharp white teeth as it charged toward Li Cheng’s troops.
Seeing this, Li Cheng immediately cast a scouting spell. The information of the dragon immediately appeared.
[Frost Dragon (Juvenile)]
[Description: A Frost Dragon that has yet to reach adulthood. For some unknown reason, it has entered a state of madness and will attack any living creature that enters the city.]
[Level: 20]
[Grade: Gold]
[HP: 140,000,000]
[Attack: 4.6,000]
[Defense: 760]
[Skills: Dragon’s Body, Frost Dragon’s Breath, Death Pounce, Tear, Dragon Race Characteristics…]
Li Cheng knew very well that all the dragons in the city had been greatly weakened. However, to the current players, their attributes were still off the charts.
Especially their HP. With the buff from the secret realm, they had a total of 140,000,000 HP. Compared to their HP, the most terrifying thing was their defense. With over 760 points of defense, ordinary players’ troops would not be able to break through their defense at all.
In his previous life, the players often used millions of troops to fight against a Frost Dragon. At that time, they did not have any high-tier troops and often could not even break through their opponent’s defense.
Of course, in front of Li Cheng, the word ‘defense’ did not exist. He gently waved his hand and ordered the Frost Marksmen to quickly focus their attacks on the Frost Dragon.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Countless arrows pierced through the air and hit the Frost Dragon’s ice-blue scales. Fresh blood spurted out from the horrifying wound. Before the volley of arrows even ended, the Frost Dragon’s HP was instantly depleted.
“Ding, dong! Your troops have killed a Gold-grade Frost Dragon. You’ve obtained four hundred experience points.
“Ding, dong! You’ve successfully triggered a ten thousand times amplification. Your troops have obtained four million experience points. You’ve obtained forty thousand experience points!
“Ding, dong! Your quest, the second Lord’s Trial, has new progress!
“Ding, dong! Your experience points have reached the upper limit. You’re unable to obtain more experience points!”
As the Frost Dragon’s body fell into the snow, the system notification rang in Li Cheng’s ears. At the same time, the progress of his quest had also changed.
This was the reason why Li Cheng came to the Frost Dragon City. Other than the normal Dragon Blood Warriors, the most trashy Frost Dragon was also a Gold-grade Boss!
If Li Cheng remembered correctly, the number of Frost Dragons present was around 2,000. The number of Epic-grade dragons was also not small. It was more than enough to complete his quest.
Li Cheng’s target was the big ones. He did not care about the small Dragon Blood Warriors at all. He immediately ordered, “Split up and kill all the monsters here!”
“Yes!”
Lillian and Luna nodded. They led their troops and pounced on the groups of monsters.
The strategy of the arcane realm was very straightforward. It was to kill all the monsters within the stipulated time.
This was not difficult. There were red dots on the map. Lillian and Luna just needed to follow the red dots and clear the way.
