The Great Thief - Chapter 583

Chapter 583

"That’s no good . You have to give all four of them to us," Lu Li said with bright eyes .

The four items included were Leather armors which were suitable for different professions . They were all Gold-grade equips, and even Lu Li didn’t dare to look down on them .

"That is impossible!" Sariko gasped and shrieked, "Greedy, stupid, arrogant…"

"Well, when I get the Abyss Crown, I’ll go to your goblin friends who are more generous . I think they will understand its worth," Lu Li said calmly .

His words dumbfounded the poor little goblin .

"You can’t do that – you would be betraying your friend . " Sariko was angry just a moment ago, but now he was worried .

No one in Gadgetzan knew about the secret of the Abyss Crown right now, but once news of it spread, it would be too late .

"I don’t want to do that either, but Mr Sariko, you of all people should know about this quest," Lu Li said as he smiled mischievously . "Or do I need to remind you about your friends who had been captured by the Sandfury Trolls? Were they not encouraged by you to come in here?"

"No, no… you, you’re simply a demon!" Although Sariko denied him, his expression betrayed him .

"You need to promise me . None of us are good people; we can betray out friends if we have to . Not to mention, we aren’t even proper friends," Lu Li said as he bent down and patted him on the shoulder . "I remember that friends and transactions are the same for goblins, isn’t that right?"

"Woo…" Sariko started crying sadly .

"That’s a deal then . Quickly release the quest . " Lu Li was quite satisfied that he had made this goblin cry . "When you get the Abyss Crown, you might be rich . It’s just four Gold Items . O, great Sariko, what would you like to buy from the gold that comes in the treasure…" Lu Li comforted .

"Treasure . " This was the last straw the crushed the camel; Sariko signed the contract under Lu Li’s persuasion .

Lu Li and the others had now received the quest . They were to give Sariko the Abyss Crown and Gahz’rilla’s charged scales . They would then receive four pieces of Gold equipment as a reward, likely in addition to an appropriate amount of EXP and Prestige .

It wasn’t that Lu Li didn’t want this treasure for himself, but that it was useless to him .

There was no information about the Abyss Crown for the players . It was merely a quest item dropped by Boss Veratha . Even if they got it, it had no value to them, but the fact that they were able to trade it for four Gold equips made Lu Li very satisfied .

Sarika dejectedly left as he needed to prepare the explosive packages .

"Well, let’s get started with the Instance Dungeon," Lu Li reminded his friends who had been completely dumbfounded .

"Lu Li… you didn’t say anything at first, and now this…"

Lu Li had forced the NPC to give up so much . Azure Sea Breeze had initially tried to do something like this, but had only forced out two explosive packages . However, when Lu Li tried, he managed to get four gold equips .

"That’s assuming we clear the Instance Dungeon," Lu Li reminded .

"Alright then, let’s start . " Azure Sea Breeze was excited by the four pieces of gold equipment . He waved his shield around and welcomed the first wave of monsters .

There was a Sandfury Witch Doctor, a Sandfury Shadowmage and three Sandfury Bloodthirsters . These five elite monsters formed the first line of defence for Zul’Farrak . If you looked at their composition, it was about the same as the players’ .

This city that was under the sun was home to the Sandfury Trolls . They had always been known for their ruthless and dark magic .

The Sandfury Trolls were a capable tribe . They had survived years of sandstorms and other things that covered the place in sand all year round .

These small teams of monsters couldn’t be underestimated . When Nightmare Difficulty was compared to Elite Difficulty, not only was the strength of the monsters increased, but also their numbers and their ability to work together .

The Witch would apply debuffs and heal while the Mage would use its skills . Additionally, the three Sandfury Bloodthirsters were very powerful warriors .

Lu Li choose to attack the Witch Doctor as it was the most ridiculous monster – it healed, gave special buffs, and could even drop totems which could heal . The players didn’t have a Witch Doctor profession, but it could be seen as a combination of Priest and Shaman .

The key to fighting the Witch Doctor was in its totem .

This healing totem was most troublesome when it was placed at the front . You could spend a lot of time and energy dropping the elite monster to half-HP, but when this totem was dropped, it would be healed back to full in a few seconds .

As such, the moment the totem appeared, Lu Li needed to immediately destroy it . This was his primary role .

This way, the others could peacefully fight the monsters . After all, no matter how strong they were, they ultimately couldn’t stand against such a strong team .

"The first Boss is pretty easy to fight . Most players probably already know about it," Lu Li explained as he fought the monsters .

"It’s the scarabs, right?" Azure Sea Breeze had studied the other guilds’ strategies .

Right now, even the ordinary players were trying to find out the strategies for this Instance Dungeon, but the oldest strategy was to kill the scarabs .

There were at least a few hundred scarabs and just one attack could draw the entire crowd . This tested a team’s area-of-effect attacks . If there was a Mage that could perform a large area-of-effect attack, it would make the situation a lot easier to handle .

However, as long as there were two or more Mages or Warlocks attacking, there wouldn’t be a problem .

If the scarabs weren’t killed first, the Boss would give them special buffs . Those scarabs that were easily killed at first would now become very strong .

After receiving the buffs, those scarabs would be comparable to those Sandfury Bloodthirsters . With hundreds of them rushing over, even the strongest players couldn’t deal with them .

There were lots of teams that had died to the scarabs at the start .

Fortunately, this problem wasn’t difficult to solve . Once they had dealt with the scarabs, the first Boss was also quickly dealt with .

However, Lu Li was doing this at Nightmare Difficulty, so the rules of the Instance Dungeon couldn’t be interpreted the same . Theka the Martyr wasn’t so easy to kill here, otherwise, everyone would be doing it on Nightmare Difficulty .

As for Theka, the description of Zul’Farrak gave him a brief introduction .

A long time ago, Theka the Martyr was unfortunate enough to die in the battle between the Trolls, but due to his heroic sacrifice, Zul’farrak still stands . Even after his death, he still vigilantly guarded his beloved city . It is said that the warriors who killed him were cursed to become brainless Scarabs, forever running around the martyr .

In other words, Seka was an Undead, and had died a long time ago .

This kind of Boss didn’t have high intelligence, so the key still remained in the scarabs .
