The Great Thief - Chapter 866

Chapter 866
Lu Li had two equips that were very suitable for this dungeon .


Scourge Counter (Gold): Armor 40, Agility +30, Strength +16, Critical Strike +10% . Special effect 1:
Deal 30% increased damage to Scourge units . Special effect 2: Certain chance of dealing three
times damage when your health drops below 30% . Level Requirement 40, Durability 84/84 .
These were his gloves that dealt 30% increased damage to Scourge units!
This wasn't a special effect that required activation, but was ongoing .
The other was a lower-level equip that he had found in the storage .
Wristwraps of Undead Slaying (Exquisite Silver): Armor 23, Agility +15, Strength +5, Special Effect
1: Berserk, Attack+18%, Lasts for 20 seconds, Cooldown 360 seconds . Special Effect 2: Deal
extra 18% damage to the Undead race, Level Requirement 25, Durability 48/48 .


While this equip wasn't as good as his others, the 18% bonus damage to Undead monsters was enough to persuade Lu Li .
Both of these equips were suited towards fighting Scourge units; it was as if this dungeon had been designed specifically for them .
The others had similar gear because the Scourge was the major villain of Dawn's lore . As such, many other equips existed, but most of them just weren't as powerful as Lu Li's .
This dungeon included many major and minor quests . Hachi Chan had taken up a number of them and shared them directly with the others .
"There are quite a few high-leveled monsters; everyone make sure to watch out . Breeze, go ahead," Lu Li instructed as he opened up a metal door and signaled for Azure Sea Breeze start the fight .
The monsters at the entrance were once civilians of the past, but now, they were just walking bodies .
"Here comes another fool . Report him to the Baron; everyone get ready for battle!" an Undead monster shouted, announcing the start of the dungeon .
In the past few years, both Holy Light Adventurers and the Scarlet Crusaders had entered Stratholme to battle with these fearsome monsters .
Unfortunately, they all failed; there were almost no exceptions .


There was a feature to this dungeon – the monsters multiplied as the players died during their exploration . According to the lore, adventurers who died here would be resurrected by the Scourge Army, increasing its strength .

Despite this, the NPCs still encouraged the players to participate in battle .
In the not-so-distant future, Stratholme would grow to become one of the favorite leveling spot for players because of high monster population . Paladins and Druids with good defensive attributes, along with Mages who had group spells, often brought rich newbie players as a training service .
Lu Li had also participated in such events in his previous life; he even found a bug to almost infinitely kill monsters .
However, they weren't strong enough for this yet, as no one could tank that many monsters . Once the Main Tank was unable to fulfil his role, only death would await them in the end .
Azure Sea Breeze shot a single Undead, but to his surprise, a pack of them followed .
Fortunately, these weren't high-leveled elite monsters . Only two of them were elites amongst the six monster, while the others were all ordinary . Azure Sea Breeze and Wandering didn't feel any pressure from them at all .
Slowly, everyone's attention began to shift towards the damage chart, because Lu Li's damage was simply ridiculous .
Theoretically, Lonesome Flower's DPS should be higher than Lu Li's before they reached the Boss because of his AoE spell . However, the number one spot on the chart didn't belong to Lonesome Flower – it had been Lu Li the entire time .
In this dungeon, Priests could also make themselves useful . Besides healing, March Rain could also control an Undead monster to fight alongside them .
As they continued their journey, they soon ran into a different type of monster, one that could summon more Undead as their helpers .
In a haunted city of death such as Stratholme, there wasn't a skill as dangerous as the ability to Summon Undead .
As such, this was often the first place that players wiped in the dungeon .
After a while, Lu Li stopped in front of a little house in the city . This was a very low house with a huge sign – < fras="" siabi's="" cigarette="" store=""> .
"This is it; the cigarette quest," Lu Li said .
Hachi Chan nodded her head repeatedly as she explained, "The Dwarf at the Chapel seemed to claim that this was the cigarette store that he had been talking about . He's very generous – he said that if we came here, he'd give us some potions and repair our equipment for free, as long as we bring some tobacco for him . "
Lu Li shook his head without agreeing . He was the only one who knew about Fras Siabi's Cigarette .
Fras Siabi's Cigarette was famous; even the people from Kul Tiras knew of it . Every important person who has visited Stratholme had tried it .
King Terenas, Uther Lightbringer, Fordring – they had all enjoyed a Fras Siabi Cigarette .
After Fras Siabi's Cigarette gained attention among the community, players would often come every week to look for some tobacco .
When players requested something from an NPC that was a smoker, it would be a guaranteed success if they could give them some Fras Siabi's Cigarette .
The Dwarf that Hachi Chan had mentioned was Smokey LaRue . Only a silly players like Hachi Chan during the early game would attempt his quest . Later on, when players obtained Fras Siabi's Cigarette, they wouldn't give it to him anymore .
"Breeze, go first . Watch out for the people inside," Lu Li said as he gave signal .
Azure Sea Breeze was a little worried after he heard what Lu Li had said, but he raised his shield and pushed open the door . What welcomed him first was the sweet smell of tobacco, and of course, the most common scent of Stratholme – rotten corpses .
"Rawr!" a giant figure shouted as it jumped out from the shadows .
When Stratholme was destroyed, Fras Siabi didn't want to leave his precious stock . At first, he wanted to incinerate all of his tobacco before anyone could touch it . Unfortunately, not everyone was brave enough to face their death head-on . Fras Siabi became an Undead and was a small hidden boss in Stratholme .
If players entered this building without being prepared, they could die to him .
Since he was on guard, there was no way that Azure Sea Breeze would be taken down by such a small Boss . His shield had blocked Fras' attack, so the damage he took wasn't significant .
