Wang Teng silently calculated in his mind that if he consistently farmed the Tier 2 dungeon every day, he could obtain 400 Lord Essence daily, totaling over 140,000 Lord Essence in a year.
Opening the Lord's Treasure Chest, besides a bag of 98 Gold Soul Coins, he also received an iron spear. Looking at the two-meter-long spear in his hand, Wang Teng was speechless.
What was he going to do with this? Although it would be a Tier 2 Soul Tool in the outside world, he had absolutely no use for it! Besides, Wang Teng had no intention of selling Soul Tools at the moment; keeping it was just taking up space.
Fortunately, even at the 50% discount in the system shop, he could still sell it for 50 Gold Soul Coins—something was better than nothing. After collecting his loot, he returned to the outside world.
As soon as Wang Teng appeared in his room, he immediately noticed that his clothes, which had been soaked through in the dungeon, were now dry.
"This is effective!"
He didn't linger; there was still one dungeon left to farm! Looking at the black-skinned, blonde cat demon on the dungeon icon, Wang Teng felt a slight sense of relief. The dungeon boss wasn't some burly monster after all.
Deep within the dungeon – the Dark Forest – Wang Teng appeared.
The environment was similar to the previous Dark Forest, with ancient trees everywhere and a gloomy sky, drizzling in the air.
While it didn't have a major impact, Wang Teng disliked rainy days, and being deep in the somewhat eerie forest made him feel uneasy.
Determined, Wang Teng wanted to quickly eliminate the mobs and end his dungeon run for the day. He hadn't walked far along the damp grass when he encountered dungeon mobs.
Six goblin mobs appeared ahead. This time, he didn't encounter ordinary goblins; they were all 'elites' among the goblins.
Elites, well, they were those that had been filtered and selected from within the same race, filtered and selected repeatedly until only the elite remained. Of course, in that sense, it seemed almost like scum?
Two red-skinned goblins, two blue-skinned goblins, two buffed ordinary goblins, and an evolved version of the throwing goblin—a centurion and a throwing centurion.
Clearly, they were still two goblins in command. The throwing centurion was the same as before, carrying a large basket full of stones, but the other had changed his weapon, upgrading from a large wooden club to a curved sword.
Upon seeing the dungeon monsters, Wang Teng cast his first soul skill, Weapon Blessing. How could he not buff himself while running a dungeon? That wouldn't be fun.
Feeling good about himself and brimming with confidence, Wang Teng didn't continue playing hide-and-seek this time. He stood still, raised his rifle, and went for it.
The throwing centurion was the first to be taken down; after all, this thing could throw magic stones, and Wang Teng didn't want to get hit on the head again.
The soul-powered bullets fired from his rifle were quite powerful; if they hit the monster's forehead, it would be an instant kill. If hit in the chest or limbs, they would basically lose their fighting ability.
After all, goblins don't have an iron will; if they can run away on the battlefield, don't expect them to fight back when they're seriously injured.
This time, Wang Teng witnessed the magic of the blue goblins and red goblins. The blue goblins could release an ice spike that shot forward, while the red goblins released a ball of magical sparks.
Of course, these two spells, like the magic stones condensed by throwing goblins, were inferior versions, and their range wasn't even as far as throwing stones! They posed no threat to Wang Teng at all.
Easily killing six goblins, picking up a bag of golden little cuties that appeared on the ground, Wang Teng continued forward.
Less than two minutes later, the monsters appeared. This time, Wang Teng didn't encounter goblins; instead, he encountered five cat demons. Their brownish-yellow bodies were completely hairless, and their heads, which looked even larger than their bodies, were covered with orange hair, with a tail also covered in orange hair.
Have you ever seen a cat with a hairless body but a hairy head and tail? Wang Teng had, except this was a cat demon, not a cute cat, even though they were both cats.
Of course, none of the dungeon monsters were cute. The goblins from before were unpleasant to look at, and the cat demon was no exception—equally hideous.
Moreover, seeing the cat demon's sharp claws and fangs protruding from its lips, Wang Teng knew he had to be careful of its claw attacks. Fortunately, the cat demon's size wasn't much different from the goblin's, so even with Wang Teng's poor marksmanship, he didn't need to worry about missing.
Of course, Wang Teng knew this cat demon was clearly an agile, attack-oriented monster, more difficult to deal with than the goblin.
Quietly approaching to within fifty meters, Wang Teng prepared to take a sneak shot from the shadows. Fifty meters was a perfect distance.
If the distance was too long, Wang Teng wouldn't be able to hit accurately; if it was too short, he might end up in close combat.
However, Wang Teng wasn't afraid of close-quarters combat, as he was wearing armor. As long as he was careful, there shouldn't be any problems.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
Three soul power bullets burst out, hitting two cat demons. The remaining three cat demons immediately became alert, looking around to find the culprit.
Then, three more bullets were fired.
Now, only one cat demon remained unharmed. However, this time, firing the guns also revealed Wang Teng's position. Unlike the goblins, the remaining cat demon didn't run away but instead charged towards Wang Teng. Wang
Teng noticed that the cat demon's speed was only slightly faster than a goblin's, not comparable to an ordinary cat. Of course, cats have considerable burst speed, and Wang Teng definitely couldn't outrun them. However, the speed of the cat demon monsters in the dungeon wasn't that outrageous.
As the cat demon ran, Wang Teng's hit rate dropped again. Fortunately, the cat demon wasn't fast, and halfway through its run, Wang Teng finally blew off the cat demon's head.
Then, one after another, they finished him off. Blood blossomed, and five cat demons fell in quick succession, bringing Wang Teng a bag of "Little Cuties."
Speaking of which, although the two dungeons were of the same rank, the difference in difficulty was evident from the gold soul coins dropped.
The "Little Cuties" dropped in the depths of the Dark Forest were more numerous than those in the Dark Forest itself, indicating that the strength of the monsters had increased. However, Wang Teng, being a low-level player specializing in sniping, didn't feel the difference was significant.
Based on the previous dungeon experience, the next challenge was facing the boss monster.
Remaining vigilant, he continued forward, and less than three minutes later, Wang Teng spotted the boss.
