Chapter 1582: Chapter 1412: Ice and Snow (Two in One)_2
"Holy cow, Sister Xiao Sheng, where did you get this anti-cold clothing? The moment I put it on, I don’t feel cold anymore, it’s like magic!"
After putting on the anti-cold clothing, Youtong’s face revealed a look of surprise, "With this anti-cold clothing, the difficulty of the dungeon has been reduced by at least fifty percent!"
"Right, there’s hope for clearing this elite dungeon now!"
Feeling the warmth from the anti-cold clothing, Gu Yue curiously asked, "Sister Xiao Sheng, where did you get these anti-cold clothes? They offer almost one hundred percent cold resistance. In the Ice and Snow dungeon, they can pretty much be called a legendary item!"
"These were all provided by Overturning Water, he gave me quite a few, don’t feel bad about wearing them."
Cream Xiao Sheng didn’t keep it a secret and explained the origin of the anti-cold clothing.
Su Ran was also generous, giving away five pieces to each person, truly reveling in the luxury.
After this interlude, Cream Xiao Sheng’s mood greatly improved as well. She led the team forward, saying, "Overturning Water, you haven’t experienced this dungeon before, let me explain. What we’re about to encounter is the Snowman Pile, where there are many teleport portals, but only one is real and can transport us to the boss’s lair. There’s no pattern to these portals; we just have to try them one by one."
"That sounds troublesome?"
Surprised, Su Ran didn’t understand what the system was up to, setting up so many teleport portals in one area. There must be a reason for it, not just to waste players’ time.
"Brother Overturning Water, what’s so troublesome about that? Every portal contains monsters, and even if it’s not the boss’s lair, we can still level up and possibly get loot to sell for money. Isn’t that great?"
Youtong spoke cheerfully, a sign that she must have gained quite a bit from running the dungeon so many times.
"Alright then, I haven’t been here before, so I have no say, lead the way."
Su Ran stepped on the snow beneath her feet, guessing it was around twenty centimeters thick, which would seriously affect movement and dodging.
"Brother Overturning Water, you don’t know, if we didn’t have these anti-cold clothes, we’d have to suffer a chilling debuff that reduces our health by 500 points every minute and causes rigidity. It’s really not a pleasant feeling!"
Thinking back to the early stages of running the dungeon, it was something Big Smoke Ghost didn’t even want to remember - it was simply hell!
Thankfully, the Ice Backpack they farmed earlier alleviated the debuffs somewhat, and that was the reason they had the courage to challenge the elite dungeon.
"So that’s how it is, the appearance of these anti-cold clothes couldn’t have been timelier."
Su Ran glanced at the harsh environment and nodded thoughtfully. With the anti-cold clothes, there was no need to worry about additional debuffs, which was good news, increasing their chances of clearing the dungeon considerably.
"Squeak squeak!"
As Su Ran was pondering, a white shadow darted past the team and quickly disappeared into the snow.
Su Ran didn’t get a good look at what species it was—no help there; the snow rattled with the same color, the terrain advantage was too strong, making it hard even to lock onto the enemy...
"That’s a special monster in the dungeon, the Snow Rat. I didn’t expect to encounter it right at the start of the dungeon, we’re really not lucky."
Cream Xiao Sheng’s expression became much more serious after the Snow Rat appeared, even her tone became solemn, "Everyone get ready for defense, a tough battle is likely to happen soon."
"Yes!"
Except for Su Ran who was still confused, everyone else drew their weapons, ready for battle.
"What’s going on?"
Su Ran asked Gu Yue beside her, puzzled, hoping she could explain why the appearance of the Snow Rat meant a tough battle was coming. It was all so mystical...
"Overturning Water bro, these Snow Rats are cunning by nature. They won’t risk going after prey alone. It’s calling for its horde now. We’ve encountered this a few times before. Once, it actually summoned hundreds of Snow Rats. It was pretty much like a rat plague; just thinking about it is terrifying!"
Gu Yue’s face was a bit pale, it wasn’t clear whether it was because of the reflection of the snow beneath him or if he was scared by the idea of facing those hordes of rats.
"Hundreds of Snow Rats? Damn, that’s brutal. This elite copy crossing the line to that extent is a bit too much."
Through Gu Yue’s description, Su Ran had already imagined the scene. In that situation, probably not even corpses would remain intact...
"It was really bad. The power difference was too great and we gave up resisting directly. We hadn’t even reached halfway through the copy at that time. Starting over didn’t feel too painful, so we didn’t lose much."
As one of the people involved, Big Smoker also had the right to speak. While keeping an eye on their surroundings, he said to Su Ran, "This Snow Rat is a random event in the copy. The chances of encountering it are very small, and the chances of encountering a rat plague are even smaller. Last time we hit the super jackpot, hopefully, it won’t happen again this time."
"This is an elite copy after all, even without the rat plague, it won’t be easy at all. Let’s not take it lightly, everyone buck up. We need to pull through this rat catastrophe!"
Creamy Young Master stopped the ongoing conversation and turned to look at Su Ran, "Overturning Water, it’s time to pull out all the stops. Summon all your pets, block as many as you can."
"Alright."
Su Ran surveyed the surrounding environment and found no terrain that could work to their advantage. Their movement was also greatly limited, meaning they had neither time nor place on their side. If they encountered a rat plague, they would have to fight it out.
Having heard what Big Smoker said, Su Ran felt a surge of wariness. They could easily give up without concern, but it was different for him. If he died, it meant losing everything, going back to square one. This was not a situation he wanted to find himself in. Even if he was left alone, he’d fight tooth and nail to get through!
"Swoosh swoosh swoosh."
After giving it a bit of thought and considering that their team’s defense was a bit weak with only Youtong, a shield warrior player, likely unable to withstand the impact of so many Snow Rats, Su Ran immediately summoned ten shield warrior skeletons. That wasn’t all; using the Time Rewind skill, another ten shield warrior skeletons appeared on the snowy field.
The stage was set for Su Ran’s solo show. He sequentially summoned the Dark Bone Eagle, Sand Puppet, Eternal Venomous Serpent, Little Zombie, and as for Wang Cai, Su Ran temporarily did not consider it. No choice there, Wang Cai had stubby legs that got no advantage in this deep snow, so there was no point in making things awkward for himself.
"Damn, these summoning abilities are so OP!"
Big Smoker had always been envious of Su Ran’s summoning ability. Every time he saw such a horde of Undead skeletons, he was sorely tempted, feeling an urge to delete his character and start over. Unfortunately, the summoning occupation was hidden and not something one could learn just by wanting it, so he dismissed this unrealistic thought.
"Overturning Water bro, what about your exotic demon pets? Summon those too!"
Youtong looked at these pets with sparkling eyes. After a closer look, she realized the exotic demons she was expecting weren’t summoned. Those extraordinary pets had shone in the martial arts arena and would definitely have a greater advantage against the Snow Rat horde! freēwēbnovel.com
"These are pets that need to be refined before summoning. The snowy environment is not suitable for refining them, and we don’t have that much time to waste. With that effort, we could have traveled a couple of miles by now."
Su Ran commanded the group of shield warrior skeletons to lead the way and explained, "If we don’t encounter a rat plague, these pets should be enough."
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
At that moment, a shrill chorus of squeaking arose from the northwest. They instinctively looked towards the source of the sound and saw a large amount of snow mist bursting and rising, creating an extremely spectacular scene. Judging from the current situation, it seemed likely that within a minute, the Snow Rats would break into their attack range.
Danger has arrived!
"Not good, why are there so many? This is just screwing us over, throwing such a curveball at the start of the copy! They really want to drag us to our deaths!"
Big Smoker was startled by the billowing snow mist; he had realized the gravity of the situation and was starting to consider retreating, suggesting with trepidation, "Creamy sis, maybe we should give up on this copy and start over. I don’t believe we’d run into these annoying Snow Rats again!"
Give up?
A shock ran through Su Ran’s heart, that idea was absolutely not acceptable!
You guys can just dust off your butts and leave with no issues, but that would screw me over!
