Faced with such an attractive reward, Reyker naturally had no reason to refuse.

He immediately chose to join the dungeon team.

“Guild master, we can choose to send six, twelve, or twenty people for this dungeon. Which one are we going to choose?”

“Of course we’re going to choose the 20-person dungeon.”

In “The One”, the plot and the level design of the dungeons varied according to the number of participants. It could be said that only by conquering the mode with the highest number of people could they be considered to have truly conquered a dungeon.

“Now, everyone, if you need to go to the toilet, go now. Those in internet cafes, if you need to renew your network fee, do so. Everyone go have dinner. And most importantly, if you have a girlfriend, turn off your phone!”

Clearing a new dungeon was always a tough battle. The shortest it would take was seven to eight hours. If the progress was slow, the duration could even be counted with weeks.

At this time, Reyker had also made his preparations. He put on the two rings that he had obtained previously.

He looked at the rings on his hand and suddenly wondered what would happen if he were to intercept this talent, Luck?

He did as he thought. Reyker decided to start with the red gemstone ring first and he directly intercepted the ten points of luck on it.

Following this, he saw on his status column that there was a new buff symbol there that indicated he had ten points of luck attribute bonus.

After that, he put on a necklace that would give him an additional point of luck and found that his luck had reached 29 points.

The two did not conflict with each other. Reyker was ecstatic.

After a while, the dungeon-clearing team was prepared and gathered by the river.

Everyone’s voice was filled with excitement.

“This is a level 15 dungeon. The difficulty is far more difficult than any wild boss that we have ever encountered. However, we must not think that it is impossible just because of its difficulty. With the right tactics, I believe that we will definitely be able to clear the dungeon.”

With this, the team jumped into the river and entered the underground cave.

Following the teleportation to the dungeon, when everyone opened their eyes again, they were already in a damp pit.

“Shield warriors clear the way, swordsmen take the rear, healers stand in the middle,” Andrew commanded.

The players formed a square formation and headed inside.

Reyker felt as if he was stepping on a big pile of snot. When he looked up, he saw a pile of scales covered in mucus.

The team continued to move forward.

Suddenly, there was a plop, as if something had jumped into the river.

Fortunately, this group of people was indeed an elite pioneer team. No one made a sound and they continued to maintain the formation.

The group walked forward for another 40 to 50 meters, and Reyker felt that something was staring at him.

He picked up a stone from the ground and fiercely hurled it into the water. The feeling of being stared at instantly disappeared.

However, after a while, he had this feeling again.

“There’s something in the river,” He reminded.

“I know, but we can’t deal with them now.”

They moved forward and saw a small coral hot spring in the middle of the road. It was constantly bubbling with hot water.

A shield warrior leaned over and observed it for a while before saying, “There’s a notice on the hot spring that says the user of the spring can obtain a random buff in the dungeon.”

“Then give it a try,” Andrew said.

The shield warrior put his hand into the hot spring, and then the whole coral hot spring dried up.

“I, I feel so itchy.” The shield warrior began to scratch his face with his hand.

Reyker opened the warrior’s attribute panel and there was a notification there.

[Fish Transformation]: Those affected by this effect will transform into fishmen within ten minutes.

“Nuns, disperse the negative effect,” Andrew shouted.

A few holy lights descended on the shield warrior, but it was useless.

The shield warrior started screaming, and in the end, he chose to commit suicide by stabbing himself with the dagger at his waist.

Reyker immediately received a notification: [Your teammate has died].

“Ressurection!” A nun in the team shouted.

Following this, the shield warrior stood up again, but immediately after, he let out a blood-curdling scream. It turned out that the fish transformation buff had not disappeared.

The shield warrior chose to commit suicide again.

However, this time, no one chose to resurrect him.

The notification that his teammate had died appeared on Reyker’s information column again.

They hadn’t even seen a monster and they had already lost one of the front liners, which dealt a blow to the morale of the pioneer team.

“Keep going. The previous three dungeon quests that we did were all about exploring the map as much as possible and understanding the mechanisms of the boss. Although he is dead, he has also brought us valuable information.”

Everyone went around the shield warrior’s corpse and started to move forward.

If someone clicked on the information panel of the dead shield warrior, they would find that the fish transformation buff was still going on.

In the end, the fish scales completely covered his exposed skin. At this moment, his neck suddenly rotated 180 degrees, and he opened his mouth to spit out a huge bubble.

Then, gills appeared at the junction of his neck and face before he stood up and jumped into the river.

The pioneer team was facing a problem as well. In front of them, three forks had appeared.

“Guild Master, which path should we take?”

“All of them. Let’s divide the team into three teams. Each team should explore the new maps as much as possible. Remember to screenshot and save more.”

Soon, the two split-up teams went to the left and right sides, while Reyker and Andrew went to the middle.

Because Reyker’s team was the strongest, the number of people in the team was arranged to be less, thus there were six in his team, which had the standard distribution of classes.

The six people had just taken a few steps when suddenly, a black arrow shot over.

With a clang, the shield warrior blocked the arrow with his giant shield.

“It seems that the attacks of the monster here aren’t strong.”After taking a hit, the shield warrior in front said in a joyful voice.

Then, a little angel holding a small candle appeared on the nun’s palm.

[The Church’s Everlasting Lights]: Dispels the surrounding darkness, and causes a 5% attribute suppression on dark creatures.

Under the illumination of the candlelight, Reyker saw the hateful creatures for the first time.

At the same time, the pioneer teams on the left and right encountered different scenarios as well.

The pioneer team that took the left fork came to a room where candles were burning after passing through a dark corridor.

The most eye-catching thing was the huge treasure chest placed in the middle of the room.

“Second captain, should we open it?” The armored shield warrior asked while licking his lips.

“Of course we have to open it, but let’s check the surroundings first.”

After the second team’s captain checked the surroundings and found that there were no monsters around, his eyes lit up..
