Lone Star Destiny and Captain Dragon Soul communicated for a while and discussed the details of the battle with Dragon Soul Feimeng.
The time is set at the first moment after Gu Ming reaches level 25.
Players can also set many restrictions in single-player battles. In the battle between Gu Ming and Dragon Soul Feimeng, the use of auxiliary props, such as the Shadow Mist Scroll, will be restricted, but battle pets can be summoned...
After discussing the relevant details, Gu Ming ended his communication with Longhun Feimeng and officially started the copy of Balrog's Curse.
He has been teleported to the copy map.
It was scorching hot here, with magma pools everywhere, and flames still spitting out from the ground. Gu Ming immediately summoned his Tyrannosaurus Rex mount. Ordinary mounts could not be summoned into such a flaming environment.
But Tyrannosaurus Rex has extremely strong elemental resistance and is immune to the fire damage here and is completely unaffected.
Riding the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Gu Ming immediately followed the instructions and headed in one direction to destroy the altar.
There are four altars in the Curse of Balrog dungeon. The requirement to clear the dungeon is to destroy these four altars within two hours.
Along the way, he encountered dungeon monsters such as salamanders, magma bugs, and black flame beetles. These monsters are all Warcraft. The intimidation of the Tyrannosaurus Rex has no effect on them. If they step into a certain range around them, they will pursue them fiercely.
Gu Ming had no choice but to stop halfway and get rid of them.
Even so, with the extremely high speed of the Tyrannosaurus rex mount, it only took Gu Ming ten minutes to reach the first altar.
"At this rate, two hours is enough to complete the level!"
Gu Ming made some calculations secretly and walked into the Balrog Altar, which was built on the wasteland and showed a rough style.
Several humanoid monsters were moving around the altar.
This is a level 22 monster, the Balrog Believer!
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with believing in anything. Believe in the Balrog..."
After seeing these strange appearances clearly, Gu Ming couldn't help but complain.
The bodies of the Balrog believers are all very thin, wearing tattered robes, but their exposed skin is dark gray and covered with cracks, just like scorched corpses - this is obviously because they bear the power of the Balrog. of.
Is it okay to believe in the Balrog and turn yourself into a charred corpse?
Noticing Gu Ming's approach, their hatred was immediately attracted, and they charged towards Gu Ming ferociously.
The warning for encountering monsters is turned on.
Gu Ming chuckled, took out something from his backpack, and equipped it on his body - the God-Slayer Medal!
Wearing this medal will increase your damage by 30% when facing demon-related enemies!
Balrogs are a race of gods and demons, and Balrog believers are naturally enemies related to gods and demons.
Then Brother Gu Ming activated [Feng Xing] and rushed towards these scorched corpse monsters.
The health of the Balrog believers here is quite high, with 1,500 health, and their attack and defense are also very high. They also have many troublesome fire skills: [Fire Possession], [Fire Demon's Wrath], [Big Fire Ball], etc.
But it's not very difficult to solve. Just move carefully, avoid their skills, use close range output, and with a 30% damage increase, Gu Ming can basically kill one of them with two or three swords.
There were a total of twelve scorched corpse monsters, and it only took Gu Ming two or three minutes in total.
Then Gu Ming successfully destroyed the altar according to the prompts and continued to rush to the next altar without stopping.
The remaining three altars were destroyed one after another.
The number of scorched corpse monsters entrenched in these altars varies. There is even a "Fire Demon Priest" on one of the altars. This is an elite monster belonging to the Fire Demon believers. With the blessing of the Heart's Eye, Gu Ming can understand the weaknesses and easily solve.
Killing monsters such as Salamanders and Balrog Cultists will drop items, such as Salamander Skins, Magma Cores, Red Blood Crystals, Flame-enchanted Iron Swords, etc., all of which are rare materials or yellow equipment.
The elite monsters are bound to drop. After killing the Balrog Priest, you will gain a lot of rewards: [Flame Asylum] skill book, fire-resistant magic robe (yellow), red gems x5, strengthening crystal x3, and 80 silver.
[The Balrog's Asylum] The skill book is only D-level, so it's still some kind of Balrog's Asylum...
Damn, he killed all the Balrogs. It can be said that they are sworn enemies, but he still protects me!
Using this skill, the power of the Balrog is summoned. You won't give him a big backhand, right?
In short, Gu Ming was not very interested in this skill book.
He also doesn't need the yellow fire-resistant robe. The biggest effect of this thing is to increase the fire kang, which Gu Ming doesn't need.
But strengthening crystals are a good thing, they will come in handy when you want to strengthen your equipment later.
When the last altar was destroyed, a prompt appeared in front of Gu Ming.
"Reminder: You successfully cleared Curse of the Balrog in one hour and fifty-four minutes...
You have gained a total of 318 points. "
"318 points?" Gu Ming was delighted and quickly checked the points exchange list - in this dungeon, by killing hostile creatures and completing tasks, you can accumulate points and exchange them for related items.
This is what attracts Gu Ming the most to the Flame Demon copy.
There are not many things in the redemption list, including: salamander skin, magma core, flame enchantment equipment, strengthening crystals and other drops, as well as some equipment and skill books exclusive to the Balrog dungeon.
Among them, there are three things that attract Gu Ming the most:
Ring of the Fire Demon (orange), requires 280 points.
B-level skill book [Fire Field] requires 150 points.
The most important thing is: Ancient One Boots (Orange), which requires 320 points to redeem!
"One of the ancient suits!"
The blood blade in Gu Ming's hand belongs to the ancient suit.
This set itself does not trigger a corresponding collection task. Players have to look for it on their own if they want to collect it all. Now Gu Ming finally found one of them!
One thing worth mentioning is that different sets contain different equipment.
The Maple Warrior suit now equipped by Gu Ming includes five pieces of equipment: breastplate, wrist guards, leg guards, necklace, and helmet.
The Ancient One set includes five pieces of equipment: weapons, breastplates, wrist guards, leg guards, and combat boots.
In other words, Gu Ming can collect some of the Ancient One's equipment first without having to rush to destroy the effect of the Maple Warrior suit on him.
When he uses the weapon "Ancient One Blood Blade", it will not affect the effect of Maple Warrior.
The same goes for redeeming this "Ancient One Boots" now.
"But I only have 318 points now... Let's exchange for the Ring of Fire Demon first!" Gu Ming made a decision quickly.
Anyway, the Balrog's Curse copy can be refreshed several times before level 25. Don't worry, just redeem it first before you can redeem it!
Gu Ming is now also equipped with a yellow ring equipment called the Fire Demon's Ring, which he obtained when he cleared the first floor of the Dark Tower.
The Ring of the Fire Demon is obviously the superior equipment of the Ring of the Fire Demon. Its attributes have been fully improved and there is another chance to strengthen it.
Gu Ming immediately exchanged this ring to replace the Ring of Fire Demon, with 38 points left.
Then Gu Ming entered the Curse of the Flame Demon dungeon again and continued to play this dungeon.
This time he spent one hour and forty-five minutes to clear the level and gained 295 points - fewer points than last time, mainly because the Balrog Priest was not spawned this time. This kind of elite monster is not always spawned even in the dungeon.
So Gu Ming successfully used 320 points to redeem the Ancient One's boots.
The boots that Gu Ming is currently equipped with are only green ones. They are the "Wind Boots" that he bought at the auction house. These boots have no other benefits, except that they have a good speed bonus for players. Now they can be used by the Ancient One. Fighting boots replaced.
Ancient One·Combat Boots (Orange)
Level: Level 20
Occupation: unlimited
Effect: Magic attack +54, movement speed +200, critical hit +1%, magic resistance +32
Special Effect: Storm Trait
Description: The legendary and mysterious weapon passed down by the ancient saints, the techniques for forging it have been completely lost, but if you are lucky, you may be able to get other components of the set in some copies.
"With the addition of 1 point of critical hit, my total critical hit has now reached 12%. After replacing the Wind Boots, my movement speed can be increased by another 80. These boots have two opportunities to be strengthened..."
These effects are secondary.
The main reason is that the special effect of these boots allows Gu Ming to obtain the "storm trait".
This is also the trait that Gu Ming looks forward to most.
Traits are the attribute blessings players obtain through blood, profession, equipment, skills, etc.
Storm represents the wind attribute.
Gu Ming currently has four main traits: shadow, poison, fire, and thunder.
Although it is very strong, for assassins, the most important trait to obtain is the storm trait - the wind attribute is most compatible with assassins, right?
The basic skills of assassins are [Blast].
Although Gu Ming possesses the [Wind Movement] skill that is advanced to [Blast], this skill only gives Gu Ming a small amount of storm characteristics and has no effect at all.
Theoretically speaking, Gu Ming's skill tree is actually a bit awry!
Now that I have these boots, it can be said that it makes up for Gu Ming's shortcomings!
So Gu Ming happily equipped himself with these combat boots.
The whole person feels a lot lighter.
Then he continued to play a copy of Curse of the Balrog for the third time.
This time it only took him one hour and thirty-nine minutes to complete the level.
This time, another elite monster was spawned, and I gained 325 points, which was ahead of schedule.
On the one hand, I am more familiar with the dungeon, and the improvement of combat boots and Ring of Fire Demon is also an important reason.
Now he has 338 points, and after redeeming the [Fire Domain] skill, he still has 188 points left.
He exchanged these points for six strengthening crystals worth 30 points.
Starting from orange equipment, equipment can be strengthened. In the future, strengthening equipment will be one of the most important things in the game.
Strengthening crystals are now extremely scarce and can only be found in special monsters and hidden missions. There is no place to buy them.
The market price is that one piece is worth 5 gold!
Moreover, strengthening the equipment not only requires a high-level blacksmith, but also has a high probability of failure... which is very difficult to do.
Since there is a chance, it is natural to stock up on more strengthening crystals to be prepared.
In addition to the six enhanced crystals exchanged, the Balrog Sacrifice elite monsters in the Balrog dungeon will also drop. Gu Ming encountered them twice and got a total of six after killing them, leaving a total of 12 on hand.
"Already level 22."
Gu Ming looked at his experience slot and couldn't help baring his teeth.
There is no experience reward in the Balrog dungeon, but the monsters killed in the dungeon are given quite a lot of experience. After three dungeons, Gu Ming was still able to level up.
"Hey, let's not clear the Balrog dungeon now. After early morning, we will gather our friends to play the Dark Tower dungeon."
The second-floor dungeon of the Dark Tower has a reputation reward, which is very important, but is limited to players below level 23.
If he is level 22, he should be able to play two more copies of the Dark Tower.
The monsters designed in Age of Dawn are very difficult, the experience given to thieves is small, it is difficult to accept tasks, and it is notoriously difficult to level up.
Even an expert like Gu Ming is afraid that he will level up too quickly...
