Chapter 203: A team of 12 people is no match for Jiang Chen alone.
The familiar sound of the vortex at the dungeon entrance reached my ears.
Jiang Chen quickly checked his summoning queue. As he left the instance, the skeleton warrior and skeleton mage were both sent back to the summoning queue.
One hundred and fifty-four skeleton warriors and one hundred skeleton mages waited quietly in the summoning queue.
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that they were all safe and sound.
Although some of them were seriously injured, and some were even on the verge of death, as long as they could return to the summoning queue, they could recover in a short time, no matter how severe their injuries were.
This is too dangerous. If we delay even for a second or two, those twenty skeleton mages will be in danger.
Now, Jiang Chen finally had time to examine his haul.
"Slay the Lava Giant, experience +3800000"
"Obtain the Lava Staff"
"Obtain Flame Crystal Fragment"
"Lava Staff: Gold-grade weapon, all attributes +500, mage skills increased by 45%, fire skills increased by an additional 20%"
"Flame Crystal Shard: Three Flame Crystal Shards can be fused together to form a Flame Crystal."
Although the Lava Staff is a powerful gold-grade weapon, undoubtedly extremely powerful for fire mages, Jiang Chen was not very interested in it.
His gaze was fixed on the fragments of the flame crystal, which piqued his curiosity. Three fragments of the flame crystal could be fused into one flame crystal, but Jiang Chen didn't know the specific purpose of this flame crystal.
Jiang Chen thought to himself, "Perhaps Chu Yao will know."
However, when he looked around the dungeon hall, he did not find Chu Yao.
"If she's not here, where did she go?" Jiang Chen wondered.
Just then, the bells rang out, breaking the silence.
Three shots rang out in succession.
Countless people rushed into the dungeon hall upon hearing the bell.
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, not knowing what had happened.
He had no idea that whenever someone set a new record in the instance, the bells in the instance hall would ring.
He set a new record when the bell rang, but he was still in the instance, so it's unclear.
He came out early this morning, which is why he was able to hear it. Many people searched for the source of the new record and quickly located the Vulcan Palace instance where Jiang Chen was.
When they saw Jiang Chen, their faces all showed expressions of "I knew it!"
Jiang Chen has broken new records time and time again, so people are no longer surprised.
I wonder what new record will be set this time.
Above the Vulcan Palace instance, Jiang Chen's score has begun to be displayed on the light screen.
The scores of the previous group were erased and disappeared.
Someone exclaimed in surprise, "That's strange. Even if Jiang Chen set a new record, the previous person was still in second place. Why was his record erased?"
"Do you want to know why?"
Suddenly someone said mysteriously.
"Why?" The group of people all looked at him.
The man smiled mysteriously: "Because, Boss Jiang cleared the Vulcan Palace on Hell difficulty. According to the rules, only the top three records of the highest difficulty are kept."
"Don't joke around. It's not like we haven't fought the Vulcan Palace before. The Vulcan Palace doesn't have a Hell difficulty level. The highest difficulty is Nightmare."
"Exactly, who are you trying to fool? I've been in the Dungeon Hall for years, and I know every dungeon like the back of my hand."
The man scoffed, "Why would I lie to you? I was right there when the dungeon was leveling up."
These people acted as if no one else was around, completely ignoring Jiang Chen.
Immediately, someone came over to check and saw Jiang Chen still standing in front of the dungeon entrance. They said to him, "Brother Jiang, please move aside, we need to take a look at the dungeon."
Jiang Chen walked to the side helplessly.
He was pondering if there was a better way to complete this dungeon. It required five Flame Crystal Shards, and he would have to run it at least five times.
Using the conventional method, skeleton warriors would be lost every time.
It's heartbreaking to lose 16 skeleton warriors this time.
We must come up with an effective strategy.
At this moment, the students gathered around to check out the dungeon.
"It really is hellishly difficult."
"I had only heard about the dungeon upgrade before, and I thought it was just talk. I didn't expect it to be true."
"Boss Jiang is really awesome, he can even manage to upgrade a dungeon."
"Look, the results are out."
Everyone looked up and saw that Jiang Chen's final score had been displayed.
Time: 3 hours, 58 minutes and 22 seconds.
It wasn't particularly fast, a far cry from Jiang Chen's previous performance. But considering this was on Hell difficulty, everyone felt it was already fast enough.
After all, the previous record was more than 8 hours on Nightmare difficulty.
As a result, Jiang Chen single-handedly completed the Hell difficulty level in less than 4 hours.
That's absolutely outrageous.
"Don't worry, when Boss Jiang goes in for the second time, there will definitely be a new record."
"Yes, yes, that's how it was before. The second time was the record that no one could break."
Jiang Chen ignored everything else and focused on mental simulations, eventually devising a method to quickly clear the dungeon.
It's somewhat risky, but if successful...
This method works not only in this instance but in many instances. This will significantly increase his leveling speed.
"It's definitely worth a try."
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up; he couldn't wait to try it out right now.
However, the skeletons are still recovering from their injuries in the summoning queue and will need some more time.
"Let's ask the teacher first what the flame crystal is used for."
Jiang Chen activated the teleportation stone and went directly from the dungeon hall to Hong Shen's courtyard.
"Boss Jiang is gone."
"Everyone, disperse. The Vulcan Palace was difficult enough to begin with, and now with the Hell difficulty, it's bound to be even harder."
Legend has it that the Palace of the Fire God is one of the five elemental dungeons, where elemental fragments drop. If you can collect all five elemental fragments, you can obtain an incredible treasure.
"Don't even think about it, it's just a legend. Even if it were true, it wouldn't be our turn."
Shortly after Jiang Chen left, a group of people arrived at the dungeon hall.
They were wearing matching uniforms, and Chen Ziming was leading the team.
The dungeon was being upgraded just now, and there happened to be a student from Baili Academy there.
They quickly relayed the message back.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ziming immediately organized a team to come and devise a plan.
He was after the legendary elemental fragments.
He had attempted the Palace of Vulcan on Nightmare difficulty several times, but had not obtained any Elemental Shards.
Not only him, but no one else has ever received it.
Later, he asked his grandfather, the dean of Baili Academy.
After careful consideration, it was determined that elemental shards should only drop in Hell difficulty.
So when he heard that the Vulcan Palace had opened up Hell difficulty, he immediately led his team over.
He's currently level 37. If he levels up again, he won't be able to enter this dungeon.
As the grandson of the dean of Baili Academy, he is known as the young dean within the academy.
While he may not command immediate and widespread support, his words still carry considerable weight.
Under his command, the troops were quickly assembled.
There are twelve people, and the lowest level is 35.
They all possess a full set of gold-level equipment.
Two knights, one prophet, four healers, and five damage dealers.
Given the unique nature of the Vulcan Palace dungeon, all five main damage dealers are physical damage dealers.
Three archers and two warriors.
Everyone had medicine hanging from their waists.
In Hell difficulty dungeons, storage space is unavailable, so I prepared my potions well in advance.
Chen Ziming also prepared fire resistance amulets for them.
Using a fire resistance charm can increase resistance to fire elemental damage for a certain period of time.
He was well prepared.
Not only do we need to clear the dungeon, but we also need to set new records.
The instance has just been upgraded, the original record has been erased, and the new record has not yet been set.
He believed that no one could set a new record.
Upon arriving at the dungeon, I instinctively looked up at the light screen.
Chen Ziming was completely stunned.
Those who came with him all looked on incredulously.
A new record has been set.
Jiang Chen's name shone brightly on the screen.
The time of 3 hours, 58 minutes and 22 seconds almost blinded Chen Ziming.
Chen Ziming rubbed his eyes repeatedly, unable to believe it.
"Young Dean, shall we continue fighting?"
Someone asked in a low voice.
Chen Ziming snapped out of his daze and snorted coldly, "Fight? Why shouldn't we fight? Are we twelve people less than him?"
"Follow me into the base and set a new record!"
Chen Ziming shouted loudly, as if to encourage himself!
