Immortal Dao Fruits, Cards to Help Me

Chapter 62 Dungeon: Savage Valley, Team Up!
"Ding~ You have reached level 20 and triggered the breakthrough quest. A new breakthrough dungeon, 【Savage Valley (Blue)】, has been added."

coming!

Chen Xiuxian didn't rush into the dungeon; instead, he went to the forum to look up information.

I've seen people talk about the "Wild Man's Gully" dungeon before; it's one of the more famous dungeons in Liaodong because it's connected to the "Tomb of the General of Fuyu Kingdom" dungeon later on.

In the Savage Valley instance, there is a chance to enter the "Fuyu Kingdom General's Tomb" instance, which is considered a instance within an instance!
These tomb instances cannot be triggered unless you find some clues/keys in the game.

However, some dungeons will "drop" these kinds of clues, thus becoming prerequisite dungeons.

The Savage Valley dungeon is suitable for players between levels 17 and 23; it's not too difficult.

Chen Xiuxian carefully read several "strategy guides," noting down details about the terrain, monsters, and main resources.

After thinking it over for a long time, he decided that he shouldn't rush to clear this breakthrough instance.

First of all, it's a rare opportunity; you only get one chance to break through to the next level once you reach level 10.

Collect more cards and accumulate more experience points.

Secondly, it would be a great pity if we couldn't take the opportunity to enter the "Tomb of the General of Buyeo".

In the real world, I really have no chance to enter that instance. I don't even have a "instance key"!

Unlike players in a game, they can't enter by trading or buying keys from the auction house.

If I can't get in this time, I'll never have another chance.

So let's slow down the progress!

After mentally preparing himself and considering his monster-fighting strategy, Chen Xiuxian reached out and pointed at "Savage Gully".

"Ding~ You have entered the Breakthrough Dungeon [Savage Valley (Blue)] and are forming a party..."

what? !

Chen Xiuxian was taken aback: Team up? What team? Who are you teaming up with?!
Then you see that "1/5" has become "2/5"!
No, there really is someone here! Who is it?! Come out here!
It takes about 40 or 50 seconds to reach "5/5".

"Ding~ The team is full. Would you like to enter the dungeon?"

Chen Xiuxian nodded.

In the blink of an eye, the scene had completely changed.

"Ding~ You have entered the Breakthrough Dungeon [Savage Valley (Blue)]".

"Ding~ You have accepted the breakthrough mission [Kill the Giant Ground Otter (Blue)], which requires you to kill 8 burrowing giant ground otters in Savage Valley."

……

Chen Xiuxian's vision was now bright; it was no longer night.

He was in the wilderness, and judging from the weather, it was probably midsummer, with the leaves on the trees a lush green.

The temperature was also high, making Chen Xiuxian, who was wearing a cotton-padded coat, seem out of place.

There were four other people beside him!

Gardak, dressed in short, tight-fitting clothes and with a long whip hanging from his waist, is level 18.

Tall and muscular, with arms as thick as thighs, and a rugged, square face, he had no time to face death—level 23.

The old white dove, carrying an ebony longsword on his back and dressed in a Taoist robe, is level 22.

His face was pale and bluish, like he had stayed up for three nights and made his first purchase seven times. He was like an Ice Demon, barely breathing. - Level 21.

Chen Xiuxian was shocked!
Holy crap! It wasn't...it was a player!
What's going on with me? Did I team up across time and space?
Chen Xiuxian had seen players "grouping for random dungeons" in the video, which is how they use dungeon keys to directly form time-space teams.

But I never expected that I could still team up with someone even though I'm already in another world!

Is this even possible? It's too random!

I haven't been in contact with modern people for so long!

He was overwhelmed with mixed feelings and his mind was in turmoil; he didn't know what to do.

Wuxia Fusi seemed quite adept at it, clasping his hands in a fist and saying in a gruff voice, "My name is Wuxia Fusi, level 23, I am skilled in close combat and can serve in the front row."

The fake Taoist priest, Old White Dove, dressed in a Taoist robe and with a somewhat sleazy air, spoke in a pretentious manner: "I am Old White Dove, level 22. I am skilled in several offensive spells. My ebony sword has good attack power and can be controlled for 20 steps."

One step is one stride with each foot, which is 1.5 meters. 20 steps is 30 meters.

It seems he has some capital; he acquired a low-level flying sword and then focused on sword control techniques.

He could be a main attacker. Gadak, who had a long whip hanging from his waist, was a bit shy and didn't seem to team up with people much. He quickly said, "My name is Gadak. I'm only level 18. I use a whip and know the Golden Binding Technique, which can be used for control."

The Ice Demon, whose face was pale and looked half-dead, spoke weakly: "I am level 21, a Ghost Path cultivator, I can curse, and I have three Ghost Servants who can either restrain or support."

At this moment, all four of them looked at Chen Xiuxian, who had not yet spoken.

While Chen Xiuxian was still in a daze, Gadak, who was closest to him, nudged him: "Dude, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah? Ah! Sorry, sorry, I was daydreaming. My name is Chen Xiuxian, level 20, majoring in... swordsmanship, with some body tempering skills, my stats are pretty good, I can be an off-tank, and I know some simple spells so I can play support..."

Upon hearing this, the four thought to themselves, "This person is quite versatile! You've cultivated quite a variety of skills!"
The muscular man, who was eager to die, glanced at Chen Xiuxian a few times: He was clearly a charm-focused guy, so why did he also have "some body-refining skills"?

Without thinking twice, he asked, "Has everyone here fought in Savage Gully before?"

Nagardak raised his hand. "I've never fought before. This is my first time."

Seeing this, Chen Xiuxian also raised his hand: "I've never played it either, I've only watched guides and videos."

Wu Xiaofu nodded: "Two novices, but it's not a big problem. This isn't difficult."

"Okay, no problem, just play the same way."

"So, I'll be in the front row, Chen Xiuxian will support me as the off-tank. Gadak will handle the crowd control, and Old White Dove and Ice Demon in the back row can play however they want!"

"Okay!" None of them objected.

Then, without a moment to die, he took the lead and walked ahead, with Chen Xiuxian quickly following beside him, treating him like an old ox.

Behind him were Gadak and his two companions.

Yeren Gully is located in Jianzhou, further north of Liaodong. It is normally within the territory of the Wild Boar People, so it is virtually impossible to find an entrance to enter.

All four people present entered using "dungeon keys".

Chen Xiuxian said, "I am a breakthrough instance..."

The breakthrough dungeon is random, but thankfully it doesn't require keys.

The other four were not surprised, because Chen Xiuxian was level 20, which was the time to do the breakthrough mission.

This time, Chen Xiuxian finally saw what a normal dungeon looked like.

The monsters start spawning just a few dozen meters ahead in this instance.

It started as a human-bear, level 22, and an elite!
Even from four or five meters away, you could smell a distinctive animalistic stench emanating from that guy.

This thing is huge. It stands three meters tall and is twice as thick as a large water tank. It looks like it could fit two people inside.

Its fur was all matted together, and it was very, very thick.

Although the claws weren't sharp, they were over ten centimeters long, resembling a rake used for raking the ground.

A gaping maw roared furiously, its stench filling the air!

No time to die, he had somehow acquired a pair of brass knuckle dusters and charged straight at them!

They were incredibly fast, moving like the wind!

His body surged with energy, and his true energy formed a yellowish-brown barrier on his arms...

Gadak was quick; with a flick of his whip, he struck the bear-man in the face with a "crack!"
The bear's head was covered in long hair, like a curtain, which hung down and blocked the view.

Therefore, there is a legend in Liaodong that if a bear chases you, you should run with the wind, because its long fur will block your view and make it easy for it to trip.

I don’t know if it’s true or false.

Anyway, with that whip, that bunch of long hair was almost completely gone!
You don't hit someone in the face! That guy, he let out a roar like a bear and got really angry. He went straight into a state of rage!
Without time to face death, he quickly unleashed a skill. A huge, earthen-yellow fist shadow struck the bear, causing it to freeze and pulling the "aggro" back to the bear.

Nagadak knew he was inexperienced—he attacked too quickly without waiting for the front line to draw aggro, and now dared not deal damage anymore. Instead, he swung his long whip to entangle one of the bear's legs, restricting its movement.

The old white dove also made a sword-finger gesture with one hand and drew the ebony sword from his back with the other.

The Ice Demon didn't release his ghost servants; instead, he held a small sword carved from white bone in his hand, pointing it at the bear-man while chanting incantations.

Seeing this, Chen Xiuxian also drew his Long Rainbow Sword and rushed forward.

With the infusion of magical power, the Rainbow Sword shone like a rainbow, dazzlingly bright.

The others were immediately struck by a thought: My buddy Cao, his gear is pretty good!

After that, the group had a deeper impression of Chen Xiuxian: This guy's swordsmanship was really good, and he seemed to have a lot of combat experience. He cooperated very well with the main tank, Wuxia Fusi. They must team up often!
