Chapter 341: Discovering the Secrets of the Dungeon, Starting a Speedrun
The Whirlwind Tiger instantly endured four thousand elemental explosions and four thousand attacks from the Skeleton Archer.
With a final, mournful cry, the level 44 boss of this hellish dungeon collapsed to the ground, instantly killed.
Jiang Chen took a deep breath. Although it was within his expectations, the scene was still shocking.
Although I had once instantly killed a BOSS, it was only possible to do so with the help of the "Strong Soldier" skill.
Although "Strong Soldier" is powerful, it is not Jiang Chen's professional skill after all, and it may disappear at any time.
Jiang Chen had never intended to rely on this skill and tried to avoid using it as much as possible. This instant kill didn't rely on any external skills, but entirely on his own professional skills and strength.
The system notification sounded continuously:
"Slaying the Whirlwind Tiger grants +1760000 experience points."
"Obtain the Whirlwind Gauntlets"
"Obtain Whirlwind Fragment"
"Whirlwind Gauntlets: Platinum-grade weapon, all attributes +1000, boxer skills increased by 60%".
"Whirlwind Fragment: Five Whirlwind Fragments can be combined to form a Whirlwind Crystal."
The Whirlwind Gauntlets are a platinum-grade weapon. Although they are relatively mediocre, Jiang Chen considers them insignificant.
There are no skill bonuses, only a +1000 to all attributes, and a 60% increase to boxer-type skills.
Jiang Chen glanced at it only once before tossing it into his storage space. The other spoils were whirlwind fragments; five of them could be combined to form a whirlwind crystal.
After the Whirlwind Tiger fell, Jiang Chen did not enter the palace directly, but instead carefully searched the surrounding area.
Having learned his lesson from the "Water God's Courtyard" instance, he knew that not searching carefully might cause him to miss some valuable items.
After searching the surrounding area, it seemed that nothing was found.
Shi Fenghu's body had already been scattered by the wind after his death, and even the bloodstains were dried by the wind and disappeared.
The palace entrance was empty, and the palace gates were spotless, without a speck of dust.
The palace's stone walls are completely empty, a stark contrast to the "Water God's Courtyard".
"It seems the Wind God prefers simplicity."
"If that's the case, why put a gem here?" On the top of the palace, there was a very inconspicuous little gem.
The small gemstone gleamed with a faint bluish light, blending seamlessly with the bluestone walls of the palace, and was barely noticeable unless you looked closely.
Jiang Chen, with his sharp eyes, still noticed.
The skeleton warrior removed the gem.
"Whirlwind Gem"
"Whirlwind Gem: Permanently reduces Anemo damage by 50%, and has a chance to grant an Anemo skill."
"really."
With a smile on his lips, he slightly activated the Whirlwind Gem with a flick of his mental energy.
A fierce wind howled in, swirling around Jiang Chen, the sound of the wind filling his ears.
One minute later, the strong winds stopped.
I didn't gain any skills, I just gained immunity to wind elements.
This was somewhat expected. The probability of acquiring the skill is very low.
He was lucky to have gained two skills from the Poison Gem and the Bright Gem.
Upon entering the palace gates, one finds the palace to be very spacious, yet simply furnished.
The earth is paved with bluestone, and the wind blows it every day, making it as smooth as a mirror.
Jiang Chen felt like he might slip and fall while walking on it.
At the end of the palace is a long corridor that connects to another, even more magnificent palace.
This grandeur is simply large, simple and unpretentious, without much decoration, yet it gives people a sense of extraordinary power.
Suddenly, a huge whirlwind rushed out from the corridor, attempting to sweep away Jiang Chen.
But Jiang Chen didn't budge an inch; his skeletal armor flashed and blocked the whirlwind's power. "Not enough power!"
Four thousand skeleton archmages attacked simultaneously.
Under a barrage of concentrated fire, the whirlwind was instantly extinguished.
A gust of wind gently landed on the ground.
Jiang Chen was curious to see that it was Tuanfeng that landed.
Holding it in your hand, you can feel the wind rolling in your palm, making a slight whooshing sound.
It was as if someone was whispering in my ear.
I squeezed it; it was soft, like cotton.
I never imagined I could hold the wind in my palm; it's a truly magical feeling.
"Whispers of the Wind God: Can be used to awaken the Wind God."
After playing with it for a while, Jiang Chen put it away.
"Now all that's missing is the Wind God Key."
Based on the characteristics of the previous three elemental dungeons, in addition to an item that can awaken the corresponding deity, there should also be a key that can open the temple.
Jiang Chen searched again, but this time he found nothing.
After confirming that there was nothing there, Jiang Chen walked through the corridor and arrived at the magnificent palace entrance.
A plaque appeared on the palace, but it was blank.
Jiang Chen found it strange that if there was nothing there, why was there a sign hanging up?
Moreover, there was no plaque on the previous palace.
Since the god of wind likes simplicity so much, he shouldn't be hanging such a plaque.
This plaque looks rather out of place.
On a whim, the skeleton warrior immediately jumped up and took down the plaque.
The plaque shrank rapidly as soon as it left the palace.
It eventually transformed into a small jade pendant. "Wind God Key: Can unlock the true Wind God Temple."
My intuition was right; there was indeed something wrong with the plaque.
I've got the three-piece set, now all I need to do is defeat the boss and get the Whirlwind Crystal.
Cyclone Crystals are used to synthesize Elemental Stones, so don't miss out.
The undead legion rushed into the palace before Jiang Chen could react.
The palace was completely empty, devoid of any decorations, except for a wild beast lying there.
It slowly opened its eyes and woke up after the skeletons went inside.
The moment it opened its eyes, the wind element exploded.
In an instant, the palace was filled with whirlwinds, thousands upon thousands of them, large and small, which instantly engulfed the undead army.
The lich general held his staff and lazily performed the healing.
The whirlwinds look numerous, but their attack power isn't actually that great.
The behemoth then let out a roar, its entire body trembling, and a whirlwind enveloped it.
Jiang Chen walked in and flicked his finger.
"Wind God Mount (Hell-level Boss)"
"Level: 45"
Strength: 70000
"..."
Jiang Chen was too lazy to look anymore; the attribute level didn't matter.
The skeleton berserkers had already rushed down ahead of it, breaking through the whirlwind layer around its body.
The giant axe in his hand burst forth with a brilliant red light.
The Skeleton Archmage and the Skeleton Archer also attacked simultaneously.
Jiang Chen casually cast an aging curse.
"Rampage (Level 1): Deals damage equal to 500% of your own strength to the target. Cooldown: 10 minutes."
The Skeleton Berserker's skill power is 55, based solely on its Strength attribute.
The Whirlwind Tiger serves as a prime example of just how powerful the Skeleton Archmage and Skeleton Archer's attacks are.
All three acted simultaneously.
After a round of concentrated fire, the level 45 dungeon boss, "Wind God Mount," was severely injured.
The external cyclone completely died down and dissipated, leaving it lying on the ground, barely alive.
0.33 seconds later, the Skeleton Berserker's second axe and the Skeleton Archer's second arrow fell simultaneously.
Without even a scream, the "Wind God's Mount" died.
It all happened in just one second.
"That's practically a one-hit kill."
"Slaying the Wind God's mount grants 2700000 experience points."
"Obtain the Whirlwind Sword"
"Obtained Whirlwind Leather Armor" "Obtained Whirlwind Fragment x3"
"Whirlwind Sword: Platinum-grade weapon, all attributes +1000, swordsman skills increased by 60%".
"Whirlwind Leather Armor: Platinum-grade armor, all attributes +700, wind elemental damage reduced by 20%"
It wasn't any particularly good equipment, but Jiang Chen still tossed it into his storage ring.
Even if I sell it on the exchange later, it probably won't be worth much.
"Four whirlwind fragments at once, that's more than 'Water God's Garden'."
"It's a pity the experience points are too low; I only leveled up less than 2% after one run..."
After reaching level 40, the experience required to level up becomes even greater.
Each run only grants about 1.5% experience. Jiang Chen decided to run it a few more times, collect a few Whirlwind Crystals, and then stop.
The bells rang in the dungeon hall.
Jiang Chen was promoted to a higher level, setting a new record.
3 hours, 42 minutes and 51 seconds.
It's not a great record, but anyone who frequently runs dungeons knows that Jiang Chen's first record doesn't count.
The second time is the important one.
After exiting the instance, Jiang Chen did not linger and re-entered it.
This time, as soon as I entered the instance, I locked onto the wind path leading to the Sky Plains and rushed straight there.
He began to enjoy the thrill of speedrunning again.
His agility attribute is now 47850, which is more than 20 times higher than when he was level 39.
Of course, the speed couldn't be that much faster, but it was still 3 or 4 times faster. He ran incredibly fast, even faster than the skeleton mage.
He ran the more than 20-kilometer distance in just over two minutes.
On average, I can run 8 or 9 kilometers per minute.
The skeletons dealt with all the wind fairies along the way.
The monsters on Whirlwind Plains are too scattered, making it too time-consuming and inefficient to fight them.
We entered the Sky Plain through the wind tunnel.
The Skeleton Berserker charged out quickly, pulling all the whirlwind sprites along the way together.
The Skeleton Archmage uses focused fire attacks, and its elemental explosions possess area-of-effect damage capabilities.
Although the range is only 10 meters, each attack can hit two or three Whirlwind Sprites at the same time.
Four thousand skeleton archmages used five rounds of concentrated fire to wipe out the hundreds of whirlwind sprites along the way. As for the rest, Jiang Chen was too lazy to kill them.
He jumped onto the floating platform first and rushed towards the palace.
If you're going to speedrun, you should make it look like a speedrun.
