Online Game: I'm in MapleStory

Chapter 69 Return to the Abandoned Instance

Wu Ming stood aside, observing Dachun and Ah Hao with great interest. He saw that they were clinging tightly to the pole, their faces as pale as paper, their stomachs churning and vomiting stomach acid.

The two of them kept cursing and swore that they would never take a taxi again! Their miserable and frustrated expressions made people laugh.

Wu Ming didn't interrupt them, but just waited quietly beside them. In fact, he was not unfamiliar with such scenes.

Wu Ming had a similar experience before. However, his first taxi ride had only left him feeling a strong sense of dizziness and difficulty walking. These two, however, were vomiting non-stop and in such an exaggerated manner.

Time passed minute by minute, and after about ten minutes, Dachun and Ah Hao finally recovered and their physical condition slowly returned to normal. After seeing this, Wu Ming said nothing and walked forward, motioning Dachun and Ah Hao to follow.

The three of them moved forward, heading straight for the abandoned copy.

As they walked, the sharp-eyed Ah Hao suddenly discovered that the direction Wu Ming was heading was exactly the route leading to the abandoned copy.

"So the boss wanted us to be his teammates just to clear this abandoned dungeon! I knew it, after all, this dungeon requires at least three people to enter! Coincidentally, we haven't been there either, so now we can check it out!"

So, Ah Hao said to himself as if he had suddenly realized something. After he finished speaking, a hint of pride appeared on his face, as if he felt that he had seen through all the secrets.

"Alright, alright, stop rambling on! We should just follow the boss, there's no need for all this nonsense!"

However, at this moment, Dachun on the side retorted mercilessly. After being scolded by Dachun, Ah Hao was speechless for a moment, but he quickly calmed down, shut up and followed the team closely.

Wu Ming stood quietly aside, listening to the conversation between the two people. He did not think too much about the deeper meaning of it. He just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and then continued to walk forward with a brisk pace.

"As expected, it's great to have teammates to fight alongside! Before, when I was alone in this wilderness, I didn't even have anyone to talk to or cheer me up. It was really boring."

Wu Ming's gaze fell on the two teammates beside him, and he sighed in his heart.

At the same time, his mind couldn't help but emerge with scenes of the past when he was alone, fighting monsters and leveling up silently, which formed a sharp contrast with the scene of traveling with his teammates in front of him.

Before long, Wu Ming and his two teammates had arrived at the swamp elf's location. Looking around, they saw a clamorous bustle and bustle all around, but the swamp elf remained motionless.

Then, he slowly walked towards the swamp elf alone, and observed it carefully after getting closer. He saw that the swamp elf still maintained the appearance of a tree, with a twisted and coiled trunk and lush and intertwined branches and leaves, looking gloomy and strange.

"Is there still no sign of activity? Why is it still so lifeless?"

Wu Ming frowned slightly. Faced with such a scene, he couldn't help but lower his voice and mutter to himself.

After all, this abandoned dungeon was only opened because of contact with this swamp elf! What's even more surprising is that when Wu Ming successfully conquered this dungeon, he was actually awarded an extremely precious medal!

One of the most important reasons why Wu Ming was so concerned about the swamp elves was probably because he wanted to obtain those unique and rare special equipment again! However, perhaps even Wu Ming himself was not aware of this. Maybe he always thought that he was just concerned about the swamp elves.

After a moment of silence, Wu Ming walked straight towards the teleportation array next to the swamp elf without hesitation. The teleportation array was tinged with darkness, as if hiding countless unknown secrets.

However, for Wu Ming, who had experienced this kind of situation many times, it was a piece of cake. He took a step forward without hesitation, and then a line of eye-catching words slowly appeared in front of him.

"Do you want to enter the multiplayer instance? - Abandoned instance!! The number of entries available today is 30/30."

Faced with this sudden prompt message, Wu Ming didn't even bother to ask Dachun and Ah Hao beside him whether they were willing to enter together, and he resolutely clicked the confirmation button.

"Form a team of three! There are three people on the map! Enter now."

As the command was issued, Wu Ming took a deep breath and clicked the confirmation button a second time.

The moment he pressed the button, something unexpected happened in the originally noisy and crowded 'Swamp 1' map. When no one noticed, three figures disappeared without a trace like ghosts.

It turns out that when a team is successfully formed, if teammates happen to be in the map where the dungeon entrance is located, then once the team leader confirms to enter the dungeon, the teammates will be directly teleported into the dungeon.

Wu Ming was the team leader at the moment. So, the moment he decided to enter the dungeon, within a second, he and the other three were already inside the first stage of the dungeon.

Wu Ming was no stranger to this dungeon; he was practically familiar with it. Previously, in order to successfully obtain the Class Advancement Card fragments, he had battled through it alone, repeating the same battles and explorations over and over again.

After thirty attempts, he knew every corner, every trap, and the distribution of monsters like the back of his hand. Even with two more teammates, he remained confident that with his extensive experience, he would be able to lead the team through the game quickly and easily.

Stepping into the long-abandoned first-stage map of the dungeon filled with mystery again, Dachun and Ah Hao were still as curious as when they first arrived. They looked around, as if they wanted to take in every corner of the place.

However, at this moment, the battle-hardened Wu Ming did not hesitate at all. He flashed and instantly displayed the mage's unique skill of fast movement, rushing straight into the group of crocodiles not far ahead like a ghost.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Ming raised the exclusive purple-gold maple leaf magic wand in his hand high up and shouted "Lightning Magic". Then a dazzling lightning burst out from the tip of the wand and struck the group of defenseless crocodiles directly.

In an instant, lightning rushed towards the group of crocodiles from the direction of Wu Ming. The lightning and thunder were accompanied by a loud "crackling" sound. The crocodiles that were hit fell to the ground without even having time to make a wail, and died on the spot.

Almost at the same moment the crocodile fell, a series of system prompt messages flooded into Wu Ming's eyes like a tide.

[You killed the crocodile. Due to the class's twenty-fold experience boost, you gained 2800 experience points. Your team gained 42 experience points. Since it was a special monster, you'll receive a level clearance card!]

[You trigger the blessing of Time Transcendant Lena and gain Intelligence +1.]

Faced with such a generous reward, even Wu Ming, who is known for his calm temperament, couldn't help but be slightly stunned. After a brief moment of distraction, he suddenly became curious about his experience bar. Without saying a word, he reached out and clicked on his character attribute panel, carefully checking the changes in various data.

"Hmm? What is this light and dark attribute storage value? Why is it in the status bar? I've never seen it before!"

Wu Ming looked at the status bar in confusion, and after he couldn't figure it out, he continued reading.

"Wow, I've been so awesome along the way! I've actually hunted so many monsters! And what's even more surprising is that with a twenty-fold experience boost, my experience bar is already over halfway!"

Looking at the experience bar that had just reached level 30 and was already halfway there, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel secretly happy. His joy was beyond words, and he immediately began to check his attribute points.

When Wu Ming saw the large amount of attribute points he had gained from the passive skill, Blessing of Time Transcendant Lena, he was stunned. He had never imagined that after clearing the dungeon thirty times in a row, he would be able to gain such a large number of attribute points.

Looking back, Wu Ming was exhausted and dizzy after going through seven or eight difficult challenges in abandoned dungeons. At that time, he had no time to consider the detailed information such as the experience and attribute points he had gained.

As for the dazzling array of equipment and weapons, he didn't sort them out in a hurry until he had finished all thirty copies, and then he traveled directly back to Blue Star.

"Boss, have you ever done this dungeon before? How do you clear it?"

Just as Wu Ming was concentrating on staring at his character attribute panel and lost in thought, he suddenly heard the familiar voices of Dachun and Ah Hao.

This sudden question, like a flash of lightning piercing the quiet night sky, instantly dragged Wu Ming back to reality from his ocean of thoughts. He shook his head helplessly, secretly sighing in his heart: These two guys really came at the wrong time!

But there was no sign of displeasure on his face. Instead, he smiled slightly at the two people beside him, then turned and strode towards the end of the first stage map of the dungeon.

After a while, Wu Ming arrived in front of the first-stage guardian Krut. At this time, Krut stood there quietly like a living sculpture in deep sleep.

However, when Wu Ming just approached her, it was as if some mysterious mechanism was triggered, and her originally lifeless eyes began to slowly open.

"Hello! I'm the Suppressor of the Dark Aura in this dungeon. You can call me Kroot! If you can successfully hunt the crocodiles and collect thirty clearance cards and hand them over to me, I can help you advance to the next level!"

I saw her beautiful and deep eyes gradually open, as bright and moving as the twinkling stars in the night sky, and then her delicate red lips opened slightly and she spoke softly.

Wu Ming remained remarkably calm in the face of Klute's words, seemingly fully aware of what was about to happen. Without hesitation, he opened his backpack, pulled out a thick stack of clearance cards, and steadily handed them to Klute.

In the next instant, the teleportation array, which had been standing quietly nearby, suddenly blazed with dazzling and vibrant light. Like lively spirits, these lights danced and flickered joyfully around the teleportation array, as if conveying some mysterious message to the people.

"We've successfully passed this level! Let's get going! The next level will depend on the two of you working together."

Wu Ming smiled, glanced at Dachun and Ah Hao beside him, and spoke in a relaxed tone.

After saying this, Wu Ming stepped into the teleportation array that was emitting strange light without hesitation, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Dachun and Ah Hao exchanged a glance, each understanding the other. After all, when Wu Ming was talking to Krut, the guardian of the first stage dungeon, they had heard him mention the subsequent levels.

Furthermore, having witnessed their captain Wu Ming so decisively stepping into the teleportation array, they naturally didn't hesitate. Almost simultaneously, Dachun and Ah Hao followed Wu Ming's footsteps and together entered the teleportation array, which was filled with unknowns and challenges.

In the blink of an eye, three figures disappeared into the light of the teleportation array. With a slight spatial fluctuation, Wu Ming, Da Chun, and Ah Hao emerged from the light one after another, successfully arriving at another new map.

When the three of them fully revealed their figures and stood firmly on this strange land, a clear and visible prompt text suddenly appeared before their eyes.

"You need your teammates to cooperate and climb three of the four ropes. Choose the correct combination to clear the level. If you make the wrong choice, you'll need to climb the rope again. Be careful! If you fail once, the Dark Tide will invade, and a large wave of monsters will appear! May your luck be with you!"

At this moment, Wu Ming's sharp eyes caught the hint. Without hesitation, he instantly unleashed his already highly skilled Shadow Clone skill. A figure identical to his own suddenly appeared, instantly shrouding the shadow beneath his feet.

However, Dachun and Ah Hao were still staring blankly at the prompt in front of them, at a loss. They were obviously confused by the situation and had no idea how to deal with it.

"Don't be stunned! You don't even need to look at the prompts, just follow my instructions! Don't worry, I will lead you through this abandoned dungeon easily! Hurry up, we have to grind here for two whole days!

Dachun, quickly climb up to rope number two, and Ah Hao, quickly go to rope number three and wait!"

Wu Ming shouted loudly while directing his shadow clone to quickly climb up rope No. 1.

Hearing Wu Ming's order, Dachun and Ah Hao came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream, and hurriedly followed his instructions. They hurriedly ran towards the ropes they were responsible for and began to climb hard.

Not long after, when Dachun and Ah Hao both climbed up the rope successfully, Ah Hao, who had been relatively calm, suddenly seemed to notice something unusual.

His eyes suddenly widened and stared at the direction of rope number one, with an indescribable envy in his eyes, as if he had seen a long-desired treasure.
