Chapter 51: A Sweep Across the Path!
Su Yu, familiar with the route, sped off into the depths of the dark, dense forest.
Although the difficulty of the dungeons varies, the environment is basically the same.
After clearing the level twice, Su Yu was already as familiar with this place as if it were his own backyard.
Soon, twenty bloodthirsty cat demons appeared in Su Yu's line of sight.
Lightning Bolt!
Without any hesitation, Su Yu drew his black iron longbow to a full moon, and a thunder arrow quietly condensed in his hand.
call out!
The lightning arrow streaked across the void like a shooting star.
boom!
-62868! (Critical Hit)
Zi la la!
-62868! (Critical Hit)
-62868! (Critical Hit)
……
Arcs of electricity leaped wildly among the Bloodthirsty Cat Demons, killing all twenty in the blink of an eye.
All that remained was a pile of blackened corpses, which seemed to still have a faint smell of meat on them.
[Successfully defeated a level 9 Bloodthirsty Cat Demon (Normal), gaining 180 experience points, 280 copper coins, and 1 skill point.]
Successfully defeated the level 9 Bloodthirsty Cat Demon (Normal), gaining 180 experience points and 1 skill point.
……
System notifications kept ringing in Su Yu's ears.
"Not bad, this dungeon run should yield at least 600 skill points." Su Yu nodded in satisfaction.
The Dark Forest dungeon has 30 monster gathering points, and the mobs alone can provide 600 skill points.
In addition to the elite Bloodthirsty Cat Demon, the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Grand Commander, and the dungeon completion treasure chests, at least ten more skill points can be provided.
That's quite a good result.
After all, Su Yu only needs four or five minutes at most to complete a dungeon run.
Su Yu even thought that it would be great if he could keep running dungeons, so that his skill point acquisition speed would reach an astonishing level.
Unfortunately, you can only run the normal difficulty three times a day, and the hard difficulty only once a day.
Nightmare difficulty can only be run once every three days, while Hell difficulty can only be run once every seven days.
I wonder if there are any items that can clear the cooldown time of a dungeon.
This way, he will have amazing efficiency whether he is farming skill points or stacking Lifesteal Marks.
About three minutes later.
[You have successfully killed 600 Bloodthirsty Cat Demons; the dungeon has entered its second phase.]
[The elite Bloodthirsty Cat Demon will arrive on the battlefield in thirty seconds. Please wait patiently in place.]
"Finally finished clearing the mobs, I can clear Nightmare difficulty soon." Su Yu couldn't wait to start clearing Hell difficulty.
He wanted to verify whether his idea was correct.
If he can't obtain the Mysterious Key Fragment on Hell difficulty, he'll have to spend more time and effort to enter the Mysterious Land.
A short while later, the thirty-second countdown ended, and seven beams of white light descended from the sky.
Lightning Bolt!
Without any hesitation, Su Yu drew his black iron longbow to a full moon, and a lightning arrow shot through the air in an instant.
boom!
-62668! (Critical Hit)
Zi la la!

[Successfully defeated a level 9 elite Bloodthirsty Cat Demon (Elite level), gaining +900 experience points, +1 silver coin, +400 copper coins, and +1 skill point.]
[Successfully defeated a level 9 elite Bloodthirsty Cat Demon (Elite level), gaining +900 experience points, +1 silver coin, +400 copper coins, and +1 skill point.]
……
Arcs of electricity leaped wildly; the elite Bloodthirsty Cat Demons had only 50,000 health points, and each arc of electricity could take one of them down.
[You have successfully defeated 7 elite Bloodthirsty Cat Demons; the dungeon has entered its third phase.]
[The final boss, the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Grand Commander, will arrive on the battlefield in 30 seconds. Please wait patiently in place.]
Soon, the thirty-second countdown ended.
A beam of white light descended from the sky, and a dark red cat demon, at least five meters tall, appeared in Su Yu's sight.
Soul-Severing Arrow!
With a thought, Su Yu sent three green Soul-Severing Arrows hurtling toward the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Commander.
boom! boom! boom!
-85498! (Critical Hit)
-85498! (Critical Hit)
-85498! (Critical Hit)
Although the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Commander had a health of 500,000, the damage from the Soul-Severing Arrow was terrifying, instantly taking away more than half of its health.
"roar!"
With a roar, the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Commander charged toward Su Yu.
Its eyes were bloodshot; those three arrows had hurt too much, and it wished it could crush the little insect in front of it with a single claw.
Su Yu stood still, without making any further moves, waiting for the Soul-Severing Arrow skill to cool down.
If he uses a normal attack next, it will take him at least two more seconds to kill the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Commander.
It's better to save your energy and wait for the Soul-Severing Arrow skill to cool down; it only takes 1.5 seconds anyway.
Soon, the Soul-Severing Arrow skill cooled down, and the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Commander was still a good 80 or 90 meters away from Su Yu.
"Goodbye!" Su Yu smiled.
The next instant, three green Soul-Severing Arrows shot through the air once again.
boom! boom! boom!
-85498! (Critical Hit)
-85498! (Critical Hit)
-85498! (Critical Hit)
In an instant, the Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Commander's health points were depleted.
Rumble!
The Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Commander's body crashed to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
[Successfully defeated the level 9 Bloodthirsty Cat Demon Grand Commander (Silver-level BOSS), gaining +9000 experience points, +14 silver coins, and +1 skill point.]
[A global announcement is coming soon. Should I hide my nickname?]
"No hiding!" Su Yu made his choice without hesitation.
Immediately, six world announcements rang in the ears of all players on Blue Star.
[World Announcement: Congratulations to Yu Huang, a player from the Holy Dragon Empire, for becoming the first player to clear the Nightmare difficulty dungeon in the Depths of the Dark Forest. Rewards include: 3 Diamond-grade Equipment Upgrade Stones, 2 Gold Coins, and 100 Reputation Points.] x3

……
"It's numb, it's numb, it's really numb."
"The Emperor of the Universe doesn't want us to have a moment's peace."
"It's okay, just bear with it a little longer. We're only one more hellish difficulty level away, and then things will be quiet for a while."
"Yeah, it's unlikely that the Emperor Yu will find the location of the level 10 dungeon anytime soon."
"Hehe, aren't you guys worried that Emperor Yu will trigger another hidden instance?"
"Sigh, it's not that easy to trigger a hidden dungeon. It was already quite an achievement for Emperor Yu to trigger a hidden dungeon even once before."
"Yeah, if it's that easy for Emperor Yu to trigger the hidden dungeon, then I'd really have to wonder if he's playing a hacked version."
"..."
Countless players of the Holy Dragon Empire were discussing it.
They just hope Su Yu will stop this soon; these world announcements are just too frequent.
