Chapter 16 - Chapter 15: Generous Rewards, Sudden Wealth!

Su Mo glanced at the Guan Saber that he had previously stomped into a Z-shape, and he wished he could slap himself twice.

If I'd known, I would have just gouged out its eyeball. What was I doing before!

Max out defense, and there's no need to think!

What a pity, my saber!

But now is not the time to mourn the saber, after all, this boss still has 10,000 Blood Volume.

Su Mo wielded the Z-shaped Guan Saber, thrust it into the other eye socket, and like an old diesel engine gripping the hilt, a millstone-sized eyeball once again fell out.

The Fear Scarecrow, kneeling on the ground and continually screaming, suddenly halted its movements like a robot losing power, then tilted backward and collapsed.

The fragmented, dark sky once again cleared up to the brightness seen when first entering the dungeon.

[This dungeon will be officially graded 30 minutes after this first clearance.]

Seeing this notification, Su Mo was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized.

So, this dungeon, which had been around for decades, had never been cleared before.

Thinking about it, that makes sense. The highest entry level for the dungeon is only level 10, and with level 10 strength, I guess no one could kill this Golden Boss.

Even though this boss is only level 10, sometimes the difference between level 10 and level 10 is even larger than the difference between humans and dogs.

Dungeon grading divides the original dungeon levels into several tiers, such as normal, hard, nightmare, and hell.

I wonder what grade this dungeon will be assigned.

The hundred-meter-tall corpse of the Fear Scarecrow on the ground slowly disappeared, leaving a dazzling golden treasure chest lying quietly there.

Su Mo's face was full of joy, wondering what rewards the first clearance of the dungeon would bring.

Meanwhile, outside, a beam of golden light shot up into the sky at the Ten-Mile Slope dungeon, visible to all the Silver-level experts in the surrounding two cities.

Even the prodigies who were just outside the dungeon discussing whether Su Mo was dead were now left with their mouths agape in surprise.

Dozens of beams of golden light flew in from all directions, and in an instant, they all appeared outside the Ten-Mile Slope dungeon.

"Is this not a new dungeon appearing?"

"I remember there was an abandoned dungeon here called Ten-Mile Slope?"

"Yes, I also remember it. It was abandoned because the dungeon was too difficult and nobody could clear it."

"So, is this a dungeon grading?"

"There's a group of young people down there, let's go ask them."

Several figures enveloped in golden light exchanged a few words and together descended in front of the young people they had previously spotted.

"Young man, what happened here earlier?"

Upon hearing the question, those present finally came back to their senses, looking at these figures in disbelief as they were somewhat humbled by their presence.

The City Lord of Celestial City, the City Lord of Celestial Wave City, the elder of the Trial Hall, the manager of a Great Xia Merchant Guild branch, the vice-principal of Celestial High School…

A string of figures they usually only saw on TV or their phones were now standing right in front of them.

One slightly older man started trembling with excitement and spoke eagerly:

"We just saw a bright beam of golden light here; we don't know anything else."

Hearing this, the golden-level experts frowned. The City Lord of Celestial City then checked their strength and frowned:

"When did you all arrive here?"

They had rushed over as soon as the golden light burst out, and with his gold-level strength, he didn't need much time to get here.

These people's levels were only 10, and coming from the city would take at least 10 minutes.

So, they were likely already here before.

"We were already here before."

"Why did you come here?"

"We just wanted to take a look at the Ten-Mile Slope dungeon."

Upon hearing this, the City Lord of Celestial City and the others frowned at the young people but didn't say much. After all, with advanced technology, people wishing to become online celebrities do all sorts of things.

City Lord of Celestial Wave City: "Have you noticed anything unusual here before?"

"No, we've been here for nearly half a day and didn't notice anything unusual."

"That's not right, earlier a young man went in and hasn't come out. He might have died in there."

City Lord of Celestial City frowned: "Why didn't you report that someone might be in danger...?"

...

Unaware of the situation outside, Su Mo was currently enveloped by a string of system notifications.

[First clearance of Ten-Mile Slope dungeon, achievement awarded: Ten-Mile Slope Blade Saint]

[Ten-Mile Slope Blade Saint: While wearing this achievement, using blade weapons increases attack damage by 3%, and damage to Grass-type monsters increases by 8%]

[Introduction to Ten-Mile Slope Blade Saint: A fierce warrior once roamed Ten-Mile Slope with a single blade, leaving no grass standing!]

[Defeated Golden Boss Fear Scarecrow, achievement awarded: Scarecrow Overlord]

[Scarecrow Overlord: You can summon three scarecrows to assist you in battle for 10 minutes]

[Introduction to Scarecrow Overlord: You will be the nightmare of all scarecrows, and also their overlord!]

[Defeated Golden Boss Fear Scarecrow, gained 10 assignable free attribute points, unlocked Spirit attribute.]

Looking at this string of notifications, although receiving only 10 free attribute points for defeating the Golden Boss was a bit disappointing.

After all, it had taken him a good half hour to defeat it.

In the past half hour, he had gained 600 assignable free attribute points by defeating small monsters, so fighting bosses wasn't as profitable as farming small monsters.

However, a downside of small monsters is that they don't drop equipment.

Finally, Su Mo focused his gaze on the dazzling Golden Treasure Chest still shining on the ground.

Walking up to it, he rubbed his hands together, then blew a puff of air onto his palms and opened the chest. Three items floated out, emitting a rainbow glow like cheap special effects.

[Skill Scroll: Open to learn the skill Scarecrow's Curse]

[Scarecrow's Curse: Curse Skill. Release Scarecrow's Curse onto a large forward area to reduce enemy movement speed by 5%. Cast Scarecrow's Curse on a designated enemy to transform them into a scarecrow for three seconds.]

Looking at this skill's introduction, to be honest, Su Mo wasn't particularly satisfied.

After all, an extraordinary man like him, capable of battling bosses head-on, couldn't rely on such a dark ability like a curse.

With that in mind, he set his eyes on the second item.

[Scarecrow's Staff of Fear: Spirit attribute +30, Fire Resistance -2%]

[Introduction to Scarecrow's Staff of Fear: The Fear Scarecrow barely had time to use its staff before being slain by a certain formidable warrior.]

Looking at this description, Su Mo could almost see a hundred-meter-tall Fear Scarecrow, full of resentment, staring at him.

This fellow sure has a deep grudge against me!
