My talent is 1.

Upon returning to the southern beach, Zhong Wuyai encountered a new mermaid NPC.

Having accepted the mission, Zhong Wuyai arrived at the underwater temple.

The Poseidon's Ruins dungeon has only three difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, and Hell.

The Cataclysmic difficulty will only be unlocked after completing Hell difficulty...

Zhong Wuyai directly chose Hell difficulty, but to open the temple gate, he had to go to Catastrophe difficulty.

Although he knew the temple was a trap, even if the sea god wanted to awaken, he could only devour players level 90 and above. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to condense the laws, and devouring them would be useless.

Therefore, it is safest to enter the temple before level 90.

The first floor is a high-pressure corridor, where stones engraved with runes are neatly arranged. The stone surfaces are covered with ancient, lost incantations, and from time to time, a magical power like flowing water moves through the patterns.

The high water pressure inflicted a negative status effect on Zhong Wuyai, reducing his casting speed, attack speed, and movement speed.

Inside the high-pressure corridor, the heavy water pressure reduced Zhong Wuyai's movement speed to 15 points, and once he entered combat, this movement speed would decrease by 5 points.

For the first time, Zhong Wuyai felt what it was like to be forcibly controlled. This was not a skill control, nor could it be negated by immunity to control; it was map suppression.

The corridor was almost entirely covered with various magical runes, with only a few places having flat floors. When Zhong Wuyai stood on one of them, the pressure disappeared, and the status on the panel vanished instantly.

Therefore, these runic veins are the reason for the high water pressure.

Zhong Wuyai summoned Jiali, mounted her, and the 150% movement speed boost brought his movement speed to 50 points.

Even after being suppressed by high water pressure again, it still has 37 points after entering combat mode.

At this speed, Zhong Wuyai felt like he wasn't riding a Carrie, but a submarine...

If you add 1 to the movement speed, then at fifteen times the speed, it's definitely a torpedo...

Moreover, Carrie's innate skill, Ocean Absorption, allows her to regenerate over 800 to nearly 900 health and mana per second.

Zhong Wuyai felt an inexhaustible source of power coursing through his body...

[Low-level Elemental Golem - Water]

Elite Puppet Monster

Rating: 40

Durability: 5000/5000

Stored Magic Power: 1000/1000

Physical attack: 0

Magic Attack: 500

Magic Defense: 500

Magic damage reduction: 75%

Controlled reduction: 75%

Movement speed: 15

[Water Bullet Lv.3]

Active skills

Each attack consumes 1 point of stored mana to release a water bullet, dealing damage to the target. After killing the target, it absorbs the target's remaining mana to replenish the stored mana.

Damage bonus: 100% magic attack

Mana cost: 1

Release distance: 50

Cooldown: 2 seconds.

75% magic damage reduction, that's absolutely incredible.

But unfortunately, he himself is a mage.

Fortunately, his damage output was high enough that ordinary mages would only suffer defeat here.

The puppet doesn't have a health bar, only durability, and it's unknown how much damage it takes to reduce its durability by even a fraction.

If it's too high, I'll be in trouble.

Frost Spear!

-572-120-9-9-9-120-9……

The Frost Spear deals 381 damage; it seems that 1000 points of magic damage can reduce its durability by 1 point.

The 120 points clearly represent the damage from the Five Elements attack. The three 9s that follow represent the damage from the Blood Boiling affix, physical attack damage, and the true damage from the enhanced set.

True damage also reduces durability by one point for every 1000 points of damage dealt.

Instead, the 91 points of physical damage reduced the durability by 9 points.

Doesn't that mean a warrior can reduce 1 point of durability by 10 points of damage?

Chaos cannot be triggered directly. This guy is unaffected by chaos, so even the soul imprint is useless. Puppets don't have souls.

This puppet is specifically designed to counter mages...

If you're going into the dungeon as a group, the puppet isn't a big deal; assassins and warriors can easily take it down by taking turns.

But for a mage, that's basically just scraping the surface.

And the elemental golems can only attack from a distance... What a headache...

Frost Spear! ... Zhong Wuyai kept attacking, since he was fast and the Frost Spear had a decent range.

Moreover, his attack range and vision have been enhanced, so taking care of him shouldn't be too difficult.

As for the attacks from low-level elemental golems, there's no need to pay them any attention. I regenerate over 800 health per second, and with the elemental protection from the elemental gauntlets, I won't lose any health at all.

Even with Carrie's 50% damage bonus, Frost Spear only deals a little over 500 damage here; I wonder how much other skills will deal...

After releasing five more Frost Spears...

[Ding! You have defeated the elite monster, a low-level elemental golem (water), and gained 2800 experience points.]

Damn... such a hard monster to kill, and they only give 2800? That's a huge loss...

Never mind, the elemental damage alone is enough...

A burst of flames! ...A burst of flames!

Zhong Wuyai continuously unleashed raging flames across the entire high-voltage corridor, causing a barrage of numerical values ​​to appear...

I couldn't see anything behind me, and I didn't know what was wrong. 75% immunity to control doesn't mean I can't be controlled. Although the control time is short, the flame wave knocks me away.

After four or five bursts of fiery energy, the monsters had huddled together...

Zhong Wuyai continued to unleash waves of flame, moving forward relentlessly, while all the monsters retreated, eventually crowding against the wall.

As Zhong Wuyai walked, he unleashed waves of fiery energy, pinning all the puppets to the wall and scraping them against it like a mop...

Jump! Chain Lightning! Fire Rain! Chain Lightning!

Compared to the blazing airwaves, the chain lightning is more effective when you get close. As it bounces around, the chain lightning released again can bounce around even more.

The five hits of the fire rain also triggered a normal attack, and all the puppets were quickly eliminated...

【Ice and Fire Golem】

Bronze BOSS

Rating: 40

Durability: 32000/32000

Stored Magic Power: 10000/10000

Physical attack: 0

Magic Attack: 1000

Physical defense: 500

Physical damage reduction: 80%

Controlled reduction: 80%

Movement speed: 15

Skill……

Zhong Wuyai didn't even look at the skills, just chuckled...

Physical damage reduction, but no magic damage reduction, isn't that simple?

A blast of flames! ... Zhong Wuyai shoved the ice and fire puppet against the back wall.

The distance was very close. After Zhong Wuyai released another wave of flames, he was already within the attack range.

Chain Lightning! Frost Spear! Chain Lightning! Frost Spear!

A critical spell hit instantly reduced the Ice and Fire Golem's durability by nearly half.

Continue...

The regular monsters all have magic defense and magic damage reduction, but the boss changes that, becoming physical defense and physical damage reduction, and the damage reduction percentage is quite high.

Zhong Wuyai unleashed his full power, swiftly and decisively sending the BOSS away...

The level 40 bronze boss didn't give much experience, but it did drop one item.

【Elemental Crystal Cores】

Items from this instance, usable only in the Sea God's Relics.

It can activate certain formations or rune networks after use.

This thing can obviously only be used in certain places on the later map, maybe even in the temple.

The second layer contains puppets, but these are intermediate-level elemental puppets.

However, the intermediate-level puppets cannot move. They are all embedded in the walls on both sides.

"Damn it, we should ask that woman if she has any strategy tips. Fighting like this is exhausting..."

There are many types of intermediate elemental golems, some with fire resistance, some with water resistance, and some with both.

However, after Zhong Wuyai unleashed a chain lightning, he discovered that the water and fire resistant puppet lost half its durability upon encountering lightning elemental damage, and he didn't know what the mechanism was.

Perhaps it's because of the materials. Luckily, I have all three skills: ice, fire, and lightning, otherwise this place would have been really difficult.

Honestly, under normal circumstances, apart from those with SSS-level talents or a unique class like Shen Mengli, very few people can solo the Undersea Ruins dungeon; they can't even get past the first or second floor...

After dealing with all the puppets on the wall, Zhong Wuyai arrived at the end of the second floor.

【Elemental Apostle Sasweit】

Silver BOSS

Level 50

Health: 1500000

Mana: 300000

Physical attack: 1500

Magic Attack: 7500

Power: 2520

Physical condition: 3200

Agility: 1230

Intelligence: 2400

Spirit: 2280

Physical defense: 920

Magic Defense: 1130

……

Upon seeing that there were no damage reduction or control immunity skills, only passive skills that increased attributes and magic defense, as well as attack and control skills, Zhong Wuyai knew he was definitely going to get beaten up.

That makes it simple; the intense flames and shockwaves will start immediately.

As they approached, a Frost Spear ended the battle.

Zhong Wuyai didn't know how to describe it. After fighting for a long time, the BOSS was the easiest to defeat. After controlling it, he could take it down with one skill!

Sasvet also dropped an elemental crystal core, but there are still five dungeon item sealing stones.

The description of the sealing stone is also very simple: it can temporarily seal a magic circle and disable it.

It should have some useful applications, just like elemental crystals...

On the third floor, the water pressure is gone, and Zhong Wuyai's movement speed during attacks is also 45 points.

The monsters on the third floor also have high stats, even much higher, but they don't have the extremely high damage reduction of puppets, making it very easy for Zhong Wuyai to fight them.

Level 60 monsters can be instantly killed.

On Normal difficulty, the game ends after defeating the third boss. On Hard difficulty, it ends on the fourth floor, and on Hell difficulty, it ends on the fifth floor.

As for the difficulty of the disaster... Zhong Wuyai speculated that the final boss would be the Temple of the Sea God, but whether it was the Sea God himself was unclear.

The third boss is located in the center of a magic circle. After Zhong Wuyai dealt with all the monsters, he arrived at the magic circle.

"Human, you are too weak. Leave now, and I won't hold it against you!"

Hmm? It can talk? ...

【Fishman Commander Andytrul】

Golden BOSS

grade???

Hmm~ that's the vibe~, having not seen any question marks along the way, Zhong Wuyai had no motivation to fight monsters at all.

"You... can't get out?"

Andytru is a fish-man, over five meters tall, with a shark's head but a very fat body, and both of his feet have three claws and fins...

His mouth gaped open when he spoke; in two words: disgusting...

"You can't get out?"

"Human, get out of here! I don't want to say it a third time!"

"Heh...you stinking fish, you're still so arrogant even though you're sealed away."

Zhong Wuyai took out the sealing stone and waved it in his hand.

"See that? This thing can disable the seal~..."

"Human, you...you actually have something like this~..."

Although Zhong Wuyai was not afraid of this guy, according to the usual pattern of the fantasy setting, this guy should be a level 60 gold BOSS.

But is the sealing stone really used here? Zhong Wuyai was somewhat skeptical.

Zhong Wuyai carefully observed the surrounding environment. There were various patterns on the walls and stone pillars all around.

The magic circle that seals Andytrul has four stone pillars, but only a small portion of the patterns on the pillars are lit up, while the rest are very dim.

Sealing stones temporarily remove the effects of the formation, but elemental cores activate these patterns and veins. Perhaps elemental cores are used here instead of sealing stones.

Zhong Wuyai slapped his forehead and summoned Kayla.

Her own pet was a merman, a mortal enemy of the fish-men, and it was Keira who opened the underwater temple and underwater ruins, so she naturally knew much more than she did.

"Kayla, look at this formation and the patterns around it!"

"Master, you're amazing~!"

"Uh... No, what are you doing?"

"I didn't expect my master to be able to enter the third level at only level 43. But be careful of Andytrul; that guy is an evil heretic who betrayed the Sea God!"

Damn it... that's a completely irrelevant answer...

"Tell me about this formation!"

"This is a sealing formation set up by High Priest Koti and several elders of the clan. Master, please do not open it."

"Did I say to open it?... What's with these patterns?"

"These are patterns inscribed by the sea god's messenger, capable of sealing all magical elements. They require an elemental crystal core to activate, but each elemental crystal core can only maintain their effect for five minutes. Andytru tried to destroy this place, but the high priest activated the magical patterns and sealed it."

"Kayla?... Hahahaha, I never expected that the most talented genius of the merfolk, the Tide Weaver, would become a human's pet, hahahaha~..."

"What are you laughing at? You stinking fish, your laugh is disgusting! Can you stop grinning like that? It makes me want to vomit!"

"Human, you're asking for death! I'm the most handsome man among the fish-men~..."

"Yue~~~!"

Handsome man... Zhong Wuyai got goosebumps all over... What kind of aesthetic sense is this...?

"Kayla, can we kill this guy without breaking the seal?"

"No, Master. If he could be killed, the High Priest wouldn't have sealed him away."

What a bunch of trash! You couldn't even handle a level 60 gold boss? And you were supposed to be an NPC for epic bosses before...

"What abilities does this guy have? Is he immune to crowd control or damage?"

"Andytrul is immune to water magic in the sea, and ice magic will also reduce the damage by 80%. Moreover, fire element is pitifully low here, with fire damage only at 50%, but lightning damage will be doubled."

"Does lightning damage double?"

"That's right. Few creatures in the ocean can resist the element of lightning. The Thunder God is the nemesis of the Sea God. The Sea God was seriously injured and put into a deep sleep by the Thunder God. Apart from Poseidon, the main god of the ocean, who has the suppression of the main god level, no other sea god is a match for the Thunder God."

"So, he can't do anything about lightning-based control skills either?"

"certainly!"

This makes things much easier. Forget about formations and patterns; just keep the elemental cores.

"Get ready. I'll temporarily disable the seal. Use the Dreamfall spell on him to let him dream for a while."

"Yes, Master!"

Zhong Wuyai used the sealing stone to temporarily seal the power of the magic circle.

"Hahahaha, you foolish human, you think you can even dream of..."

Before he could finish speaking, Andy Tru closed his eyes and drifted into a deep dream.

"Master, I can only put him to sleep for 5 seconds. Andytru's advantage here is too great!"

"It's alright!"

Chain lightning! Chain lightning!

Zhong Wuyai kept unleashing chain lightning, which only dealt tens of thousands of damage, but after doubling, it became hundreds of thousands. With the damage bonus from the Fallen Dream, it was close to 20.

Moreover, each triggered basic attack comes with true damage and elemental damage, so the output is still very high.

Fire rain!

Although the damage is low, the elemental damage triggered by five attacks is still 12.

A rain of fire combined with a chain of lightning strikes is released back and forth.

Andytrul's head was covered in a dense array of red damage numbers.

Zhong Wuyai regretted using the Flame Rain on a wide area, as his own Blazing Waves not only had a large range but also a long distance.

If the duration of the fire rain were to be increased to 51 seconds, then the last second would result in 50 instances of damage being triggered simultaneously.

Make sure to delete and relearn it after you leave...

Kayla also released Dream World after using her skills.

Zhong Wuyai thought to himself, "If only Kayla could wear equipment that reduces cooldowns, she could be controlled to death."

Before the dream world ended, Zhong Wuyai had already finished off Andytrul. Andytrul was just a Gold-rank boss with a relatively low health bar; he couldn't withstand Zhong Wuyai's relentless hammering...

[Ding! Defeated the Golden BOSS, Merman Commander Andytru, gaining 649600 experience points. An additional 2013760 experience points were gained for defeating a monster of a higher level.]

[Server-wide announcement: Congratulations to player Zhong Wuyai for achieving the first kill of the level 60 Gold BOSS, Murloc Commander Andytru. Reward: 5000 Reputation, 1 Gold Gift Box]

Oh well, another gold gift box.

Zhong Wuyai wants free attribute points and skill points right now; everything else is irrelevant.

Kayla has over a thousand attribute points and forty skill points, which makes Zhong Wuyai very envious. He has always wanted to upgrade her skills.

Currently, only the first kill of the Bronze boss remains for the level 50 bosses, and the first kills of the Dark Gold and Legendary bosses for the level 60 bosses are also available. However, the level 60 Legendary boss can only be found in dungeons.

There are very few announcements of first kills of bosses left. Players across the entire game are used to seeing server-wide announcements and have given up hope of first kills of other bosses.

"Master, you're so amazing~!"

[Ding! Your pet, Tideweaver Kayla, has gained +30 intimacy points.]

Holy crap, so much added...

"Master, Andytru is one of our mermaid race's greatest enemies. Many of our comrades were killed by him. Thank you for avenging us!"

So that's how it is. No wonder it adds so much. Does that mean that continuing to kill the Murloc BOSS will also increase intimacy?

However, since Kayla has already become his pet, it's unclear what the purpose of this intimacy level is.

After you clear the dungeon, then ask Bai Xiaoniu...

The fourth floor is the central hall of the underwater ruins, where a new buff is introduced: the pressure of the sea god.

All units are unable to cast water and ice spells. This has no effect on units with divine power. Units in the Temple of Poseidon will have their water and ice spells deal 100% more damage and have a greater effect.

Damn it, I'm not some apostle of the sea god or anything, so the Frost Spear isn't working.

Thank goodness I didn't remove the Fireball spell, or I would have been exhausted...

Water element

Elite Monster

grade???

"Kayla, how much do you know about these things?"

"Completely immune to water-type damage, 80% reduction in ice-type damage, and similarly, double the damage from lightning-type attacks."

What about fire damage?

"Normal damage, but fire skills only deal 50% damage in the lobby."

"That's enough!"

A blast of flames!

After unleashing his skill, Zhong Wuyai changed positions and continued... a blazing wave of energy!

After unleashing four waves of fiery energy, Zhong Wuyai forced all the water elementals to the base of the hall wall.

Then, he quickly jumped to the left, unleashing a burst of flames!

This time, all the water elements were knocked away again and gathered together.

A blast of flames... Dozens of water elementals were all blasted away by the blast in the corner, falling back down, then being blasted away again and falling down once more.

[Ding! Elite monster Water Elemental defeated, gaining 84000 experience points. An additional 630000 experience points are gained from defeating a monster of a higher level.]

Zhong Wuyai quickly stopped, opened the package, and clicked to use the low-level experience scroll.

How could I forget this? These are all high-level monsters...

[Ding! Elite monster Water Elemental defeated, gaining 459000 experience points. An additional 3442500 experience points are gained from defeating a monster of a higher level.]

That makes sense, it's definitely a level 70 monster.

The fiery shockwaves continued to be released, and a series of notifications kept ringing out.

None of the water elements attacked; they were all dealt with by Zhong Wuyai.

Even with only 10% experience, Zhong Wuyai leveled up to level 44.

My stats are getting higher and higher, and there are more and more attributes on the panel. I wonder what else will be added after level 50.

Now... let's take down the BOSS first. With such a high experience bonus, we might be able to level up again.

There was a large, closed door on the side of the Hall of Ruins. After all the water elementals were defeated, the door slowly opened, and the boss emerged. ...
