Chapter 11 – Hellish Challenge: The Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress!

The skill Entangle isn't a strong control skill; it's a targeted spell.

In other words, it can be dodged with proper movement.

Previously, Lin Tianhao was attacked mainly because he was careless, and also because the three Treant Commanders simultaneously cast Thorn Entanglement, blocking his escape route.

Now, with Lin Tianhao highly focused, as soon as he saw the telltale hand movement for Thorn Entanglement, he would reposition himself in advance.

Coupled with his high output and the damage from Lightning Leap, the number of Twisted Treants was steadily decreasing.

As the number of Twisted Treants dwindled, Lin Tianhao found it increasingly easy to clear the monsters.

Finally, all the Twisted Treants in this stage were defeated.

"Ding, you have reached Level 9, Free Attribute Points +5."

Leveling up by one level per stage, this speed of leveling was truly terrifying.

Moreover, with the support of the Rejuvenation skill, Lin Tianhao's health had already been restored to full.

...

At this moment.

Futu Club!

Offline conference room!

A video was playing on the big screen.

It was a video of Lin Tianhao soloing the Twisted Treant King.

A young man stood at the head of the conference room.

"You've all seen this video. Shenlang, you're also an archer, what's your take?"

Futu Shenlang immediately stood up, "The damage numbers are high, but it's his skill that's truly terrifying."

"Even if his damage numbers were lower, with his skill, he could still solo this boss."

Futu Kuangtu chimed in, "Young master, what's the point of showing us this video?"

"I want you to help analyze how much it would cost to recruit him. I previously offered a salary of ten million annually, and he refused without hesitation."

Futu Shenlang frowned, "With skills like his, he's definitely not an unknown figure. He might have been earning tens of millions annually even during the era of PC games, or even more."

After all, there was once a legendary archer in PC games whose annual salary exceeded eighty million.

"Given the current popularity of Ragnarok, with his skills and attributes, an annual salary of one hundred million wouldn't be excessive."

"If we also consider the overall influence on our guild and the ability to drive the early stages of the game, the annual salary could even reach between one hundred fifty million and two hundred million."

Futu Shenlang's assessment was very fair.

As the president of Futu Guild, his own annual salary was only a little over twenty million.

But Lin Tianhao's skill truly impressed him.

"Alright, I understand."

Futu Dunshan nodded, "President Shenlang, organize the members still in the Novice Village to clear the Twisted Treant dungeon. Also, if possible, every player in the Novice Village should try to clear the Level 10 Twisted Treants."

Futu Shenlang nodded, "Alright."

After saying this, Futu Dunshan coughed, "Also, let me show you my current attributes."

He proudly displayed the attributes of his Treant Set.

Futu Shenlang was shocked upon seeing the set's attributes.

"Total health increased by five thousand eight, both armor and magic resistance are so high, and the set's special traits..."

Futu Shenlang couldn't help but gasp, "Young master, how much did this set cost you?"

"Four hundred thousand, plus being carried to Level 10."

"It was originally three hundred thousand, but I added these two Blackiron-grade pieces."

Futu Shenlang was dumbfounded, "So cheap?"

Indeed, it was cheap.

A single piece of Level 10 Elite-grade equipment is valued at around twenty thousand.

These thirteen pieces, sold individually, could be worth four hundred thousand.

The key is that it's a set, and it comes with a boost to Level 10.

"Did Xue Di sell it to you?"

"Yes."

"It seems he isn't short on money, otherwise he could have sold it for a better price."

Futu Shenlang instinctively thought Lin Tianhao was wealthy and didn't care.

But he had no idea that Lin Tianhao was in a hurry for money, so he didn't haggle.

Moreover, five years later, when the Great Cataclysm begins, real-world currency would be worthless.

Twisted Jungle!

Lin Tianhao entered the third stage.

Here, there were four Twisted Treant Kings.

Twisted Treant King (Blackiron Boss): Level 10.

Health: 186,800.

Attack: 598.

Skills: Summon Treants, Rejuvenation, Vine Bind, Thorn Shield, Vine Cage.

The skills hadn't increased, but the attributes had significantly.

And there were four of them.

Glancing at his current health, Lin Tianhao made his move.

Whoosh!

Critical hit!

-1685.

As expected of a Blackiron Boss in a Hell Difficulty dungeon, its defense was high, so even with the additional three hundred attack points from Lin Tianhao's Thunderclap Bow, the critical hit damage wasn't high.

Most of the current damage was still due to Lin Tianhao's Hand of Heavenly Punishment.

Moreover, it's worth noting that the Twisted Treant King's Vine Bind is different from the regular Treant's Entangle skill.

It's a skill almost akin to strong control because the binding vines appear directly from under the player's feet, making it hard to react.

With Lin Tianhao's current attack speed, he could at most interrupt the attacks of two Twisted Treant Kings simultaneously.

But now he was facing four Twisted Treant Kings.

The battle was imminent.

The four Twisted Treant Kings, having gained some intelligence, moved to surround Lin Tianhao.

At the same time, the skill Vine Cage appeared.

Unfortunately, the casting of Vine Cage was the slowest and easiest to interrupt.

Lin Tianhao easily interrupted the Twisted Treant King's skill.

However, they were four Twisted Treant Kings casting skills simultaneously, blocking Lin Tianhao's retreat.

Lin Tianhao advanced instead of retreating, which played right into their hands.

-598.

-597.

-598.

...

Lin Tianhao moved forward, entering the melee range of the Twisted Treant Kings.

The four Twisted Treant Kings attacked simultaneously, dealing over two thousand damage to Lin Tianhao.

After the effects of the Twisted Treant King's skills dissipated, he retreated again, creating distance.

He continued stutter-stepping.

As long as he wasn't caught by their Vine Bind, with his current health and the Rejuvenation skill, the chance of him being instantly killed was minimal.

With continuous stutter-stepping, finally, the first Twisted Treant King fell.

The remaining battle became much easier.

Before long, all three Twisted Treant Kings were down.

In Ragnarok, dungeon rewards are settled after clearing, and before clearing, defeating monsters only grants experience, not item drops.

This saved Lin Tianhao the trouble of looting corpses.

He stepped into the fourth stage, the final stage of the Twisted Jungle dungeon.

As soon as he entered, Lin Tianhao saw a towering hundred-meter tree with countless vines swaying in the wind.

It looked either like a boss or just a big tree.

Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress (Bronze): Level 10.

Health: 1,528,000/1,528,000.

Attack: 1,358.

Skill: Withered Wood Rebirth.

Lin Tianhao's eyes narrowed; this boss had only one skill!
