Chapter 17 - Kobolds

Just as Luke was sneaking forward cautiously, "Dawn" was already in chaos.

Everyone has a question in their mind: Who is Luke?

"Unknown" is no longer enough to describe Luke's low-keyness. Among the hundreds of thousands of players of "Dawn" who have bought the helmet and entered the game, no one knows who he is.

Only a few people who had seen him selling bronze equipment and skill books at the stall at that time vaguely remembered that the rogue who looked like an ordinary passerby did not rely solely on luck as everyone thought.

There are so many guilds, elite mercenary groups and clubs in Dawn. If he doesn't have some skills, how can he get his turn?

In this matter, Luke's team is not the only one that is currently exploring the dungeon.

There are thousands of novice villages in Dawn, and any player can pay five copper coins to the dungeon teleporter to teleport to the dungeon they want.

In fact, there are no less than a thousand teams that directly attack the elite dungeon. Large guilds that rank among the top ten in the country, such as "Liquid", "Paragon", "Bloody Legion", etc., each sent out more than a dozen teams to open up the dungeon.

Many of them had already killed the first spider leader in the spider's nest, but the eight guards of the second BOSS were too tough to deal with. They could not defeat them according to normal procedures, so they could only try bit by bit.

Unexpectedly, when the team was wiped out, I suddenly heard a system prompt.

It would be fine if they were well-known IDs from other big guilds, but these are all IDs I have never heard of.

Soon, various information was transmitted to the hands of the guild leaders in the copy through private chats, and several people in Luke's team also slowly surfaced.

"I won't talk about Lyrana, I'm sure Sister Shui is familiar with him," a female player in a white priest robe was checking the information that had just been gathered while looking at the beautiful teammate who was squatting on the ground and cutting the spider's legs with a dagger.

The girl had a stunning appearance like an immortal. She didn't even raise her head, but just snorted softly through her nose.

"It's only been a few days and some bored people in the game have made all kinds of rankings, including a list of beauties. Sister Shui has lived up to everyone's expectations by being on the list. I just don't know why Lyrana is ranked higher than Sister Shui." Another teammate looked curious.

The beautiful rogue lowered her head and said nothing. She stuffed the severed spider legs into the package and aimed the dagger at the spider's venom sac. The action of dismembering the body made her cold image even colder. Everyone else swallowed their saliva.

"Bogdanov and Elara are also members of Grand Plan," the priest continued. "There is less information about Tel'abyssian, but he is not completely unknown. He once occupied the top spot on the level list in the game Shadowlands. He is probably a master recruited by Grand Plan."

"Where is Luke?" The female rogue carefully put away the spider venom sac and finally couldn't help but ask.

"I really don't know about that," the pastor shook his head.

"I may know something, but I don't know if it's that person," someone in the team said cautiously, "I once saw a player named Luke selling things at a stall. He was a rogue like you, Sister Shui."

"Speak!" The female rogue called Sister Shui had a blank expression on her face. Her voice was very nice, but she just refused to say another word.

Others were not surprised, because this was the legendary player in the Weiyu Guild - Water Elf. Not only did she occupy a place on the Peerless List, she would definitely have a place on the Master List if it came out.

"Last night, he set up a stall in Moon Shadowglen. There were two bronze equipment and a skill book on the stall..." The player described the three things Luke had on display, and everyone in the team gasped.

"There is such a skill book?" The water elf's face was full of disbelief. As a player who is keen on PK, she can better understand what this skill means.

Not only is it a twelve-code crowd control, but the 8-second duration is even more abnormal. Currently, the longest-lasting control skill is the four-second sneak attack of the rogue, but it is not enough in front of this skill. Of course, the advantage of sneak attack is that you can still attack normally after being stunned.

"That rogue should be from the Moonblade Guild," the person reporting the incident said with a strange look on his face, "but judging from how they get along, it seems like they are not very happy. And the one who got the first kill this time was not from the Moonblade Guild. I don't know why?"

Although the water elf is considered a high-ranking member of the guild, he does not care about the affairs of the guild and is not very interested in this matter.

Rich women are only interested in experts.

Buy good equipment from experts, or defeat them.

Luke just came into her sight.

Other guilds were also trying their best to collect information about Luke, mostly with the goal of winning him over or getting the "Spider's Lair" dungeon strategy directly from him.

At this time, Luke had slowly reached the mine.

There are many mines in the forest, and this is one of them. There are a lot of ogres wandering around in the mines on the mountain. Their levels are between level eight and level ten. It is hard to say about their equipment, but the money they gain is very good, so in a day or two, this place will become very lively.

Luke didn't come here to make money. It's not that he couldn't make money, but it was inefficient. Moreover, if he encountered more than two ogres, he would die miserably.

After sneaking around for a while, Luke finally found the NPC he was looking for in a corner of the mine.

Tap Explorer, Shadowmoon Valley Guardian, Level 13, seriously injured.

"Hello, my fellow man, I need your help with something," Tap said straight to the point and issued the task directly.

It is worth mentioning here that Luke led the team to get the first kill in the Spider's Nest. In the eyes of the NPC, he had a suffix after his name.

Luke, Spider's Nest Pioneer, is similar to a title system, but does not increase any attributes. When his reputation is high enough, NPCs with tasks will take the initiative to issue tasks to him. Although Pioneer is a low-level title, it is also a symbol of strength.

"Of course, it's my pleasure," Luke bowed slightly, being much more proficient in etiquette than other players.

Tap nodded in satisfaction, took out a mask from his arms and handed it to Luke: "There seems to be a strange noise deep in the mine, help me investigate it."

System: You have received a mission to explore the mine... Mission level F, mission reward: 1 silver.

It's a very common task, of the lowest level. The reward for the task is not cheap, but it's not very generous.

There were many ogres above level eight coming and going along the way, but Luke was only level four.

The key lies in the mask in your hand.

Kobold's Disguise Mask: This equipment is enchanted with a magical shapeshifting magic. When you wear it, you will become a kobold.

Luke put on the mask and instantly transformed into a strange-looking dog-headed soldier with a ferocious dog head, a sturdy body, and tattered leather armor. He also held a rough wooden stick in his hand.

With this mask, Luke neither sneaked nor took a detour, but just walked towards a group of kobolds. The five kobolds in the group just looked at Luke stupidly as he walked past them, without any reaction at all.

If someone was present, they would see a kobold with independent characteristics, swaggering straight into the mine.

The dog-headed men that appeared in groups of three or four along the way ignored them.

After entering the mine, the light suddenly dimmed. There were also Gnolls moving around in the mine, but there were not as many of them as outside. Most of them were holding pickaxes and mining, and there were basically no groups of them.

Luke ignored them and went straight into the depths.
