What a hide-and-seek champion! It’s hidden in such a remote location that not even birds would come. How the heck did Curly Monkey even come across this?!

Buzz!

Jiang Fei put his head right through a stone wall. There was no resistance whatsoever. The surface of the wall warped, and then sucked him in.
The moment he passed through, the scenery changed. Jiang Fei found himself inside a dark cave!

Hiss…

Unlike regular dungeons, unknown dungeons were ruthless. They were not generous enough to provide players with any safe zones. Five venomous snakes quickly gave him a warm greeting!
Skewbald Tiger Snake (Wild Beast, Normal)
Level: 15
Health Points: 800
Attack Power: 68
Skill: Toxin Attack
Remark: A seemingly weak species of snake, yet deceptively venomous!
A glance told Jiang Fei all he needed to know about these enemies. Curly Monkey had already mentioned them in passing, but Jiang Fei knew nothing more than the fact that he had made three solo attempts, only to succumb to overwhelming stacks of the poison DoT.
Ice Burst!

Puff…
Jiang Fei huffed and puffed all over the snakes.
-632!
-1,350! (Critical hit!)
-608!
-621!
One Tiger Snake instantly went down after being struck by critical damage, while the remaining became encased in solid ice.
Iron Fist!
Triple Bash!
Jiang Fei swung about, finishing off another two Tiger Snakes.
-1!
-125! (Level 1 Venom!)

Oh, sht!
Although Jiang Fei had taken great care, quickly finishing off the three snakes, the last snake had still managed to sink its fangs into his leg.
Physical damage was a joke. Jiang Fei’s Defense had exceeded 500. Even the Elite Tigermen were unable to penetrate his Defense!
However, Level 1 Venom was nothing to scoff at. 125 poison damage was a lot for Jiang Fei! One should remember that Jiang Fei had upgraded his equipment. The Bearmen Elites could only dream of scoring three-digits on him.
By now, Jiang Fei’s Physical Attack was almost 200. Each hit delivered 160 to 170 damage. In addition to his Lifesteal and Laceration effect, the last snake quickly fell.
The Experience Points obtained from the three snakes was higher than the Experience Points he obtained solo-ing the Normal Mode dungeon. As expected, this Unknown Dungeon is truly worth the name! However, something bothered Jiang Fei. The venom was stackable. It only stacked up to a maximum of three, but it posed a very real threat to his life, something that not even Lifesteal could mitigate.
After Jiang Fei took a knee to recover his Health Points, he proceeded with utmost caution.

Clatter…

A soft noise crept into Jiang Fei’s ears, freezing him in his tracks.
Jiang Fei glanced about but failed to spot anything. He frowned.

Clatter…

The noise emerged again.

Hmm?
This time, he was able to hone in on the source of the noise Underground!

Bang!

Not far ahead, the ground suddenly exploded, and a dry, withered hand stretched out from the ground!

Crack…

A head and body followed, and not long after, a dry and withered zombie appeared in front of Jiang Fei in the blink of an eye!

Wooooo…
With a low growl, the zombie pounced towards Jiang Fei!
This zombie did not walk upright but crawled on all fours. It did not move as slowly as Jiang Fei imagined. It was almost on par with the speed of a regular player. It scrambled up to him in no time at all!
Corpse Eating Zombie (Undead, Elite)
Level: 16
Health Points: 2,200
Attack Power: 345
Skill: Open Wound, Virus Infection.
Remark: Very high Movement Speed. It can cause bleeding and sickness, dealing sustained damage.
At that moment, the zombie raised its dry and withered hands, each finger equipped with three-inch long claws and slashed at Jiang Fei!

Dong!
Jiang Fei raised his shield. It did nothing but serve as some visual fluff. Nevertheless, he at least felt better doing so.
-272!
-15 (Laceration!)
-20 (Illness!)

Ding! You have been infected with Plague. Movement Speed is reduced by 15%!


Oh, sht! That’s not… Good?!

Jiang Fei did not expect a lowly Level 16 Elite monster to pose more of a threat than Level 17 to 18 Elite monsters in regular dungeons!
Fortunately, Jiang Fei was only fighting in single combat. If he got swarmed up by a couple of these, even a super Tank like Jiang Fei would be swept away!
Ice Burst!
-618!
Frozen!
Triple Bash!
-637! (Critical hit!)
-313
-297!
Iron Fist!
-300!
Since the Zombie was a serious threat, Jiang Fei pulled out all the stops. With a series of skills, and two normal hits, returned the undead to earth.

Ding! You have eliminated Corpse Eating Zombie. Obtained 2,750 Experience Points!


Ding! Obtained Zombie’s Skeleton!

Zombie’s Skeleton: Alchemists may put it into use!
Jiang Fei shrugged and threw the item into his bag. Apparently, this item would only be used during the refining of poisons. He may not need it, but it was worth a lot!

Crack…


Crack…

A zombie popped up to greet him every once in a while. As Jiang Fei was better-prepared now, he got through them rather easily. As his Experience Points tiptoed forward with each kill, a smile slowly grew on his face.

Crack… Crack…

The ground cracked open once again. It was no longer a Corpse Eating Zombie!
Demonic Zombie Monk (Undead, Elite)
Level: 17
Health Points: 2,700
Magic Attack Power: 435
Skill: Forked Lightning
Remark: Demonized zombie, very powerful!
It took the appearance of a fat monk in a cassock. However, its bare skin, including its head and hands had already festered beyond recognition. It was downright revolting!

Shrrrkkkk…

More than 10 meters separated the Demonic Zombie Monk and Jiang Fei. As the monster opened its bloody mouth, a bolt of lightning shot at Jiang Fei.
-421!
Jiang Fei did not have much to boast about when it came to his Magic Defense. Not only did the bolt give him a solid blow, but he was also momentarily incapacitated by the electrically charged spasm!

Fck!

The spasms would only last but a moment, but Jiang Fei quickly noticed that the Demonic Zombie Monk’s mouth buzzing with electricity yet again. He might get electrocuted — perpetually!
Dash!
Jiang Fei did not intend to let the monster have its way. If he ran straight for the monster, he would only be asking for it. He might even lose half his Health Bar reaching it!
-50
Stunned!
Charge had a 5 minutes long cooldown duration, yet it was surprisingly effective!
Iron Fist!
-300!
After that, Jiang Fei began to deliver normal attacks!
-156!
-156!
-10 (Laceration, 1 stack)
-10
+10 (Lifesteal)
As the Demonic Zombie Monk was a Magical-type, it was rather fragile. Jiang Fei bowled into it, like a truck!
