Chapter 12 – First Clear of the Dungeon: The Withered Tree's Rebirth!

When you're just trying to make great content at pawread.com .

Lin Tianhao wouldn't underestimate the boss just because it had only one skill.

The simpler the boss, the harder it was to deal with.

"Whoosh!"

Lin Tianhao made the first move.

-785.

There was no critical hit, but the damage was decent.

However, in the next moment, Lin Tianhao realized the terrifying aspect of the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress.

-1355.

-1355.

Two vines lashed at him, knocking off over two thousand of his health points.

This was truly outrageous!

Moreover, Lin Tianhao noticed a problem: the vines of the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress seemed to encompass the entire level, meaning he couldn't dodge the basic attacks through movement.

This was a real pain!

The Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress attacked with two vines each time, and with his current health just over thirty thousand, he could only withstand a dozen or so attacks.

While thinking, Lin Tianhao's hands didn't stop moving.

He continued to attack the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress.

As the vines lashed out again, Lin Tianhao rolled to dodge.

"Avoided it."

Lin Tianhao's eyes lit up. Just as he expected, the vine attacks could be dodged.

Since he could dodge, killing the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress was just a matter of time.

However, to be safe, Lin Tianhao switched to the Jungle Longbow.

The Jungle Longbow could increase his health and had lifesteal.

Relying on the skill effect of Rejuvenation, it was difficult to fully restore his health.

Therefore, lifesteal became particularly crucial.

After all, the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress had too many vines, and each basic attack was from a different vine.

Although he could dodge with his reflexes, achieving a 100% dodge rate was still somewhat unrealistic.

After all, he hadn't invested any points in movement speed.

+50.

+16.

+16.

Lin Tianhao's health began to recover slowly, and he was also searching for the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress's weak spot.

Every monster had a weak spot.

Attacking the weak spot could increase the chance of a critical hit.

Even though his critical hit rate was only one percent with the Brutal Boots after switching weapons, as long as the weak spot strikes were precise enough, he could still land consecutive critical hits.

"Found it."

In his previous life, Lin Tianhao actually didn't know about the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress.

At that time, he was diligently leveling up and farming gold, heading to the Main City on the second day.

Later, when this dungeon opened, some people tried the Hell Difficulty, but no players in the Novice Village could clear it.

Moreover, as the game progressed, dungeons for levels fifteen and twenty kept appearing, and players weren't as interested in the Novice Village dungeon.

Therefore, this was the first time Lin Tianhao had heard of the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress.

"Whoosh!"

Another arrow flew as Lin Tianhao continued to maneuver.

He truly mastered the art of movement, dodging even basic attacks!

"Found it."

Lin Tianhao's eyes lit up. Behind the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress, he saw nine blood-red vines.

Each of those blood-red vines had a dark red head.

At this moment, one of the heads was giving Lin Tianhao a sinister smile.

"Whoosh!"

Critical hit!

-1574.

A bright red critical damage number appeared, making Lin Tianhao a bit excited.

Having found the weak spot, his attacks would be much easier from now on.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

...

The sound of arrows piercing the air was incessant, and the blood-red vines manipulated the heads to dodge, but Lin Tianhao's experience was vast.

This swaying dodging method was just for show in his eyes.

Critical hit!

Critical hit!

Another critical hit!

...

This was the absurdity of weak spot attacks; even with a one percent critical hit rate, he could deal high critical damage.

Lin Tianhao's lips curled into a smile. Critical hits not only dealt high damage but also increased his lifesteal amount.

After finding the solution, Lin Tianhao whittled down the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress's health at a rate of two arrows per second.

Finally, the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress's health dropped to ten percent.

It was about to enter the kill zone.

But in the next moment, green light emanated from the Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress, and its health suddenly restored from ten percent to full.

Lin Tianhao:???

He felt a bit defeated.

This couldn't be blamed on him; what kind of godly skill was this?

How could it be so outrageous?!

This was the Novice Village, not some Level 200 World Boss; this was just a Level 10 Bronze boss.

Why?!

Though a million curses ran through his mind, Lin Tianhao didn't plan to give up and chose to continue attacking.

With his previous experience, Lin Tianhao was now well-practiced.

Fifteen minutes later!

"Ding, you have slain the Bronze-grade Nine-Headed Serpent Cypress, gaining 31,280 experience points."

"Ding, you have completed the First Clear of the Twisted Jungle dungeon, a world announcement will be made. Would you like to hide your name?"

"No."

"World Announcement: Congratulations to player Xue Di for completing the First Clear of the Twisted Jungle. We hope all players will continue to strive forward."

"World Announcement: Congratulations to player Xue Di for completing the First Clear of the Twisted Jungle. We hope all players will continue to strive forward."

...

This sudden world announcement left many players still battling in the dungeon dumbfounded.

"Damn, it's that Xue Di again. Did he solo the dungeon? How is that possible?"

"Soloing the boss, soloing the dungeon, could it be that he awakened a talent in the Novice Village?"

"I think it might be a Hidden Class. Even if it's a talent, whose 1-Star talent is this powerful?"

...

There was a lot of chatter among the players, and many guild players were beating their chests in frustration.

The rewards for a First Clear were undoubtedly significant.

"Ding, you have completed the Hell Difficulty First Clear of the Twisted Jungle, rewards are being calculated..."

"Ding, you have received Blackiron-grade Treant Set +1."

"Ding, you have received Skill Book +13."

"Ding, you have received Treant Heart +4."

"Ding, you have received Elite-grade Equipment +35."

"Ding, you have received 350 gold coins."

"Ding, you have received 50 Free Attribute Points."

"Ding, you have received Quest Scroll +1."

...

A series of system notifications left Lin Tianhao dazzled.

These rewards were incredible.

The Blackiron-grade Treant Set, except for the Main Weapon, Lin Tianhao could use everything, especially since he achieved the First Clear, there were no level restrictions, and he could use them directly.

However, this set was most suited for a Shield Warrior, making it somewhat awkward for him to use.

Thirty-two pieces of Elite-grade equipment, three pieces of Bronze-grade equipment; Lin Tianhao glanced at them, and they were mostly tank gear, which he could wear, but it was of little use.

When his gaze fell on the Skill Books, Lin Tianhao became interested.

Because he saw that skill: Withered Wood Rebirth!
