Chapter 35: Entering the Valley of the Dead!

“Inviting skilled players with more than 200 attack to join us.”
“We need a high-level Priest who can heal over 150.”
“We’re short of one. You need to have long-range DPS, priority given to those with 50 Agility points.”
“Beauty, is your team lacking a tank? My defense is 80+.”
At the dungeon entrance, there were shouts of players forming teams everywhere.
Currently, all the players treated this place as a holy ground for dropping equipment. In order to reach farther, it was necessary to organize a powerful team.
At this moment, the appearance of the team led by Lorne immediately caused the surrounding players to gasp. Everyone looked over.
“Tyrant is going to challenge the dungeon!”
“Is he really going to challenge the Nightmare Dungeon?”
“Take a guess. How many minutes until they’re wiped out?”
“They’ll probably be killed once they enter. Right now, all the top players in the world are unable to get through the Hard Dungeon. They are simply courting death by going to the Nightmare Dungeon.”
“I don’t think so. Tyrant is no ordinary player. He’s the man who killed the boss in five seconds. He should be able to make it past 20% of the dungeon.”
“Do you think Tyrant is joking when he said he’ll pass it? 20%? What a joke!”
“That’s right. I think he should have enough confidence. Even if he can’t clear it, he must have at least 80% progress!”
“Pfft… 80%? Look at that warrior in their team. He’s the ‘Super Rich’ who made the 100 announcements. He’s only Level 1, I can’t help but laugh.”
“Hey! That’s not right. The requirement to enter the dungeon seems to be Level 10, right? How can he enter the dungeon at Level 1?”
At this moment, everyone’s eyes were on Super Rich.
In the team, Twinkle Rose and the other two members also realized that the super tycoon beside them was only Level 1!
Sensing that everyone was looking at him, Super Rich hurriedly smiled and said, “I was too excited to team up with the God-tier player and forgot to do something.”
With that said, he took out a medicinal herb from his bag.
Everyone who had completed a mission in the village knew about this tool. This was the experience medicinal herb obtained by the medicinal shop’s merchant after completing a mission. Consuming one would give 100 experience points. Because everyone could only complete this mission once, the appearance of the experience medicinal herb did not cause much of a commotion.
But it had a different significance to Super Rich.
He took out one herb after another from his bag and chewed them.
This was very funny, like seeing a wild ox eating grass.
However, what made people speechless was that while chewing the herbs, the words “Experience points+100” kept flashing above his head.
Then, ten rays of light shone on Super Rich. In less than ten seconds, his level increased from Level 1 to Level 10.
Seeing this scene, there was silence.
The onlookers were dumbfounded.
This was the first time they had seen someone level up like this.
Was this how rich people played games?
“How much did you pay for this herb?” Beside him, Lorne asked.
Right now, Rimuru was only Level 5. If possible, Lorne wanted to raise it to Level 10. If he could do this, then he would have even more confidence in challenging the dungeon.
“It’s very cheap, only 500 dollars per herb. Leader, do you want some? I still have over a hundred herbs here.”
“Forget it.” Lorne shook his head, speechless. This was not a game he could afford to play.
The experience value of a single medicinal herb was 100 points. If he wanted to raise the value of Rimuru to Level 6, he would need 112,500 alliance dollars. Just thinking about this number gave him a headache.
He did not want Super Rich’s herbs, even if they were given for free, as it was not natural for him to take benefits from others for no reason. Moreover, a hundred herbs did not mean much to Rimuru, so there was no need to take them.
…
“I want to enter the dungeon.” Soon, Lorne stood before the dungeon manager and stated his intentions.
“Young adventurer, please choose the difficulty of the dungeon.”
After saying that, a selection panel appeared in front of Lorne.
Difficulties were divided into: Easy, Hard, Hell, and Nightmare.
Easy Mode and Hard Mode, all Level 10 players could try them countless times.
However, players could only enter the Hell or Nightmare once. After completing either difficulty, they could not attempt to clear the other difficulty.
Without hesitation, Lorne said, “I choose nightmare.”
Hearing this choice, the manager could not help but be shocked. He immediately advised, “The Valley of the Dead is filled with dangers. Young adventurer, I advise you to wait until you are strong enough before exploring.”
“No need. I have enough confidence in my strength. Please send me into the dungeon.”
“Alright…” Seeing that Lorne was so adamant, the manager no longer advised him. He entered the IDs of Lorne and the others and activated the teleportation circle.
In the next moment, with everyone watching, an indigo light rose up, and Lorne and the others disappeared.
…
The history of the “Divine Realm” mainly revolved around the war between the Dark Abyss and the Empire Alliance. They represented the two most powerful forces in the world.
As for other races, such as elves, titans, orcs, they were attached to the two major forces. For their own purposes, they made a choice between light and darkness.
The [Valley of the Dead] contained the scouts of the Dark Abyss that infiltrated the Empire. They lurked in special spatial cracks. Apart from hiding, they would also bewitch the surrounding neutral races and destroy the peace and stability of the Empire from within.
After they entered the dungeon, they immediately entered story mode that explained the information about the dungeon and the reason for the anomaly.
At this moment, the scene began to transform.
An ancient war scene appeared before everyone’s eyes.
This was a battlefield after a great battle. The surroundings were deathly silent, and the ruins covered countless corpses. The rotting war chariots were in ruins, and the rotting skeletons still wore mottled armor. The war banner that originally represented glory could no longer wave in the air.
After an unknown period of time, a group of creatures from the Dark Abyss appeared on this sealed battlefield. They invaded this exiled battlefield and used their terrifying undead power to resurrect the dead soldiers and turn them into terrifying undead creatures.
Seeing this, the scene changed again. By the time Lorne and the others could see again, they had officially entered the dungeon.
