Chương 235: Reborn as the Dragon — Chapter 235 - Pioneering Players (2)

The Seumida Player said this as he placed his hand on the black vortex gate. The touch was soft, like a layer of water. [Black Dragon Outpost (Normal)] [Current party members: 17, Maximum member limit: 20, Start teleportation?]"The dungeon's player cap is 20? I thought it let in however many people you had..." Seumida Player A shook his head and muttered to himself.

"No, no matter what, it couldn't possibly let everyone in. Otherwise there'd be no point to opening this dungeon. Still, that works out. The current number is just right!" With that thought, he chose "Start teleportation" without hesitation. At once, black mist surged up and swallowed the entire player party. Then came the strange feeling of space twisting. When the players opened their eyes again, they found themselves inside the dungeon.

"Whoa~ This is my first time feeling what it's like to really enter a dungeon. It's just like riding an elevator~" Player A clicked his tongue and looked around. It was a dim corridor, about fifty meters long. At the far end stood a gate. Oddly enough, there wasn't a single gate-guarding monster in sight. That was extremely abnormal. Were all the monsters behind the gate? He took two steps forward, his body gradually shifting from distortion into solidity. The other Seumida Players were the same.

The corridor was very wide, wide enough for them to stand in a line. WHOOSH! The sound of something cutting through the air came from behind them. Seumida Player A's heart tightened. Instinct warned him of danger. Out of these dozen-odd players, only he had reached level 20 or higher. The others were still hovering between level 15 and 19. So his reaction was fast. He rolled straight on the spot, dodging the attack from behind. Lying on the ground, he turned his head.

He saw a huge Blaze Rabbit holding an axe and glaring at him viciously. The rabbit had already raised its axe again, chopping at another Seumida teammate beside him. And there were four of them! They played dirty. They ambushed.

"Watch out!" Seumida Player A roared. But it was still a little too late. Four axes struck dead center, perfectly embedded in the heads of four players. Two mage players died instantly, their HP completely emptied. The other two warrior players, perhaps because their heads were a little harder, still had a sliver of health left.

"Priests, heal now! Warriors, raise shields! The enemy's behind us. Mages, roll away immediately and create distance!" This story originates from a different website. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there. Seumida Player A was a veteran ARPG player. He gave the right orders at once. These players were a team to begin with. They usually hunted monsters together, and their coordination was decent. At his command, they didn't even look behind them. They immediately reacted as instructed.

The players turned around and raised their shields. With a bang, they just barely blocked the giant axe swinging down from the Blaze Rabbit. The mage players rolled, then turned back and locked onto their targets with magic. After that, things became simple. Although these Blaze Rabbits had monstrous strength, two warriors rotating in front could still hold them off. And with priests beside them putting up shields and healing, they quickly stabilized their formation and surrounded the four Blaze Rabbits.

"Try sneaking up on us again!" One player, nearly cleaved in two, rushed up to a Blaze Rabbit pinned by the mages and slapped it hard across the face. In the Black Dragon Outpost, monsters didn't feel pain. But the human's actions still enraged the Blaze Rabbit. It had always been the one slapping humans around. When had it ever been the other way around? How could it stand this?! But no matter how it struggled, no matter how it bared its teeth, the mage's Frost Restraint had already triggered the freeze effect.

Its limbs were locked in ice. It couldn't move. The other three Blaze Rabbits were the same. In a one-on-one fight, these humans weren't enough to deal with even one of them with a single hand. But once there were enough people, they were no match for them at all and had already been knocked to the ground, half dead. This was arranged by Su Nian on purpose. If too many troops were placed in the first stage, then this dungeon would quickly become untouchable. The players had to be tricked in and killed.

The final arena was the real death trap.

"Yo, still glaring at me? What right does a monster like you have to glare at me?" Seumida Player A looked down at the Blaze Rabbit struggling furiously and slapped it again.

"Kim Sung-il, stop messing around. Kill it and let's move on." A warrior beside him grabbed him, but the player named Kim Sung-il was the sort who held a grudge. He wanted to humiliate this Blaze Rabbit. So he kicked it to the ground, undid his pants, and prepared to give this Blaze Rabbit some fresh "beer" to sober it up. Then, in the next moment, the Blaze Rabbit, which should have had nowhere to push off from, suddenly flopped like a carp on the ground and shot upright. Its sharp fangs gleamed with cold light.

And in its gaping maw, flames were gathering. In an instant, it helped Kim Sung-il complete a castration operation. It even gave him a roast for free. After a burst of frantic chaos, the four Blaze Rabbits were killed. Since they were mirror images, they turned directly into white points of light and vanished. But the pain they left behind for the players, especially the pain left behind for Kim Sung-il, would not disappear.

"Kim Sung-il, I told you not to cause extra trouble. Just kill the rabbit and be done with it. Look at you now..." Seumida Player A looked at him with disappointment. With the priests' healing spell level, there was no way to regenerate a severed limb. They could only do basic healing, unless they used expensive high-grade healing potions. Right now, Kim Sung-il was carrying a bleeding debuff that would last 72 hours, and it couldn't be dispelled at all. They had already lost three members in the fight.

With Kim Sung-il constantly losing HP, it was basically the same as losing four. And this was only the first stage.

"Sorry, boss. I didn't want this either. I didn't expect that Blaze Rabbit to suddenly do a carp flip and jump up..." Kim Sung-il looked miserable.

"Also, these Blaze Rabbits in this dungeon are way too big. And they walk upright on two legs like people. Their muscles could enter a bodybuilding championship in our country."

"It's normal for dungeon monsters to be a little weird." Seumida Player A didn't care much.

"What I'm more concerned about is the loot the Blaze Rabbits dropped. Besides a pair of Blaze Rabbit original-flavor underpants, there's also a Spicy Radish." As he spoke, he posted the drop info in the party channel. [Spicy Radish] After eating it, you can spit out one terrifyingly powerful fireball spell.

"Without a doubt, this is a very good one-time item. Any class can use it. The only question is how terrifying this so-called terrifying power really is..."

"Why don't we try it?" Kim Sung-il looked eager.

"From the description, this thing sounds pretty good. Captain, you were the one who got the drop. Why don't you try it?" The surrounding players all egged him on. Player A wasn't the type to make a fuss about it. He directly shoved the Spicy Radish into his mouth.

"Ooh ooh wow!"

"Captain, how does it feel?!"

"Spicy... spicy, hiss, hiss, I... it's killing me..." Player A smacked his lips as he frantically rummaged through his inventory. He pulled out a bottle of water and gulped it down. Only then did he feel a little better. Gurgle.

"What's that sound?" The players exchanged looks. Player A's face suddenly turned red. He seemed to be holding something back.

"I... I think it's coming out. Get away from me!" Player A roared. The Seumida Players immediately hid behind their captain.

"No... no, that's not it... aow aow aow!" BOOM! A flaming fireball blasted out of his rear and shredded Player A's beast-hide pants. The scorching flames exploded behind him. In an instant, they swallowed the Seumida Player standing in front, the one staring in dumbfounded confusion, Kim Sung-il. Kim Sung-il, dead.
