The Great Thief - Chapter 581

Chapter 581

"The more Burning Legion you kill, the greater the improvement at the next upgrade . I’ll give you a free transport to the Moonlight Forest; this is the Ally of the Cenarion Circle…"

Remulos’ words echoed temptingly in Lu Li’s ears, but he was already in Gadgetzan .

His teammates had been waiting here; they were about to start Zul’Farrak . They wanted to get the First Clear on this Instance Dungeon .

However, they first needed to accept a few quests for the Instance Dungeon . The first one was from Krazek in Stranglethorn Vale, who directed them to Tran’rek in Gadgetzan . Tran’rek owed a shipment of scarab shells which was due a few weeks ago .

Krazek: He is my brother, so I don’t want to send debt-collectors to Gadgetzan . Please help me go and ask Tran’rek what is happening? He’d better send them to me quickly before I really freak out .

The two rogue goblins were basically a perfect pair .

Tran’rek was also a rogue goblin .

He said that the scarab shells were hard enough to sell as building materials . Due to how valuable they were, the scarabs were hunted extensively and almost went extinct .

As such, Tran’rek told the players that there were many scarabs in Zul’Farrak .

Their quest was to gather enough scarab shells in three days . Otherwise, Tran’rek would smash their heads in .

This wasn’t a joke – the penalty for failing this quest was death, which meant 5% EXP .

There were some other quests that Lu Li and his party had accepted as well . Regardless of whether these quests gave equipment, the EXP reward alone meant that they couldn’t be missed .

There was a long way to go from Gadgetzan to Zul’Farrak, but the path was relatively safe with Sandworms rarely appearing .

If the road to the Instance Dungeon was already risky, most players just wouldn’t do it .

This road was a transit route for goblins in the desert who explored ancient ruins, looking for ore . They did what they could for as long as they thought they could make money from it .

As for the Sandworms, if you observed the area carefully, you would notice quite a few goblin devices installed in the sand .

These devices constantly emitted an ultrasonic sound that dealt high damage to the Sandworms and deterred them from the area .

Heavy fighting also occurred on this path, which was perfectly in line with the game company’s vision . From the moment players had access to this place, Horde and Alliance players had been locked in endless battle .

However, for a while now, no one from either faction had been killed .

Lu Li and the others didn’t dare to be too conspicuous . If he openly declared himself to be Lu Li, he probably wouldn’t be welcomed the whole way . There were surely countless players that wanted to kill him .

They would be able to kill him and force him to drop an item without too high of a cost .

There was one Sorrowless fan that worshiped Sorrowless, so much that he had watched each of Sorrowless’ technique videos dozens of time .

However, when he was asked about why he was following a band of players to kill Sorrowless, he innocently replied, "What’s the issue with worshipping someone and killing them to take their items?"

After clearing out a few waves of players looking for trouble, Lu Li and the others soon reached the entrance of the Instance Dungeon . There was a goblin there that would give them a buff for two gold coins .

The buff was Voodoo damage -20% .

This was quite strong, especially against the Trolls, and had the potential to be life-saving .

Of course, it was unrealistic to expect the -20% damage to negate the entire Voodoo Troll family . Otherwise, teams wouldn’t be getting killed on the second Boss .

"Nightmare?" Azure Sea Breeze, who was responsible for picking the difficulty, turned around and asked .

"Yes, Nightmare!" Lu Li nodded and confirmed .

Zul’Farrak wasn’t a particularly difficult Instance Dungeon . Only the second and last Bosses were considered as demigods, and required all members of the party to be level 35 and higher .

"Gee, this is going to be fun . " Azure Sea Breeze wasn’t afraid of a challenge and was even more courageous with Lu Li around .

The others weren’t too worried either . As long as it was Lu Li who picked the difficulty, they would be able to do it . As for that girl who was obsessed with her pets, she probably couldn’t tell the difference between Elite and Nightmare difficulty anyway .

"Hey, that team that just went in didn’t pick the Elite difficulty," a Mage in the team behind them said as he saw Azure Sea Breeze making his choice .

The rune that was displayed on the Instance Dungeon for Nightmare was different to when it was Elite difficulty .

Between Nightmare Difficulty and Elite Difficulty, there was also the Heroic difficulty . Most players were attempting the dungeon on Elite Difficulty right now, with others trying it on Ordinary Difficulty to get used to it .

When they suddenly saw that someone had selected Nightmare difficulty, they were completely shocked .

"No way! How can someone choose Nightmare Difficulty?" A Paladin who was holding a large sword was unconvinced .

"I saw it with my own eyes; I can’t be wrong," the Mage sneered . "I’ve learned about Runes, and that definitely was one for Nightmare Difficulty . "

Runes were a trade skill that enabled players to be very sensitive to the inscriptions on Instance Dungeon entrances .

"Maybe they just picked Nightmare to get a reaction out of us . I can pick Nightmare Difficulty too . " The Paladin was still too stubborn to accept it .

Everyone was the protagonist of their own fantasy world .

How could they still be playing at Elite if someone else was playing at Nightmare difficulty?

"It’s Lu Li, Azure Sea Breeze and the others . It’s the Xin Xin Mercenary Group . Ruling Sword is finally doing Zul’Farrak," someone finally realized after thinking about the professions and general appearances of the players who had entered .

For the Wild Bosses, there were a number of competing guilds who would take the Boss 80% of the time . Occasionally, someone lucky could also take one of them .

For Private Instance Dungeons, gaining access was based purely on luck .

On the other hand, Public Instance Dungeons were different . Ruling Sword was dominating the Public Instance Dungeons . From the Spider Nest, to the Death Mines, the Howling Caves, to the Scarlet Monastery… they had gotten First Clears on Public Instance Dungeons many consecutive times .

"Lu Li is doing the Instance dungeon!"

This news spread like a tide throughout all of the player-base .

Regardless of whether they were Alliance or Horde, they all dropped what they were doing and began to discuss counter-measures .

"Ruling Sword cannot get the First Clear again," declared Dust Dragon, the president of Blood Red War Flag .

"I trust you," said Sorrowless, who had connected several Instance Dungeons commanders with Glory Capital .
