Chapter 107: Abyss Hellhounds, Hell Difficulty Dungeon
After shouting, the knight had already fled far away.
The panic could be seen on his face.
The prophet and archer following the knight ran silently, not speaking.
Abyss demons?
Besides dungeons, seeing Abyss demons was one of the purposes of coming to the Elemental Battlefield.
Bai Yiyuan had told him that the Abyss demons appearing here wouldn’t be too strong.
Meaning he should be able to handle them.
The mist surged more violently. Just two seconds later, the mist was forcefully dispersed.
A pack of pitch-black monsters burst out of the mist.
Shaped like wild dogs, they were two meters long and over a meter tall.
A row of sharp teeth protruded, glowing with an eerie blue light.
They also continuously emitted piercing cries.
As they ran, a foul wind blew, carrying a strong smell of blood.
They moved extremely fast, seeming even faster than the fleeing knight.
Lin Moyu’s fingertips glowed faintly as he cast Detection.
[Abyss Hellhound]
[Level: 31]
[Strength: 5000]
[Agility: 6000]
[Spirit: 2000]
[Constitution: 5000]
[Skill: Rend]
Sensing the Detection spell, some of the Abyss Hellhounds immediately changed direction and charged towards Lin Moyu.
There were about 30 Hellhounds in total.
About 10 were now charging at Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu clearly saw bits of flesh and torn clothing in the Hellhounds’ mouths.
Human flesh!
They had just eaten people.
Someone had died!
The career holders with the knight had been eaten.
His gaze turned cold as Lin Moyu said softly, "You... deserve to die."
Following Lin Moyu’s emotions, the skeleton warriors’ eyes glowed red as they pounced on the Hellhounds.
10 skeleton warriors faced off against 10 Abyss Hellhounds.
The skeleton warriors completely outclassed them in attributes.
With nearly triple the difference, they weren’t even on the same level.
Upon clashing, the Abyss Hellhounds quickly fell to a disadvantage.
The skeleton warriors swung their blades, sending Hellhounds flying one after another.
The skeleton mages weren’t idle either. They activated skills, sending spell after spell raining down on the Hellhounds.
The Abyss Hellhounds howled miserably while also letting out earth-shaking roars.
One after another, the roars dispersed the mist and made people’s hearts race.
Hearing their companions’ cries, the Hellhounds chasing the knight and his group changed targets and charged towards Lin Moyu.
By now, the Hellhounds directly clashing with the skeleton warriors were on their last legs after repeated attacks.
The skeleton mages delivered the final blows, killing them one by one.
[Killed Abyss Hellhound]
[Obtained Hellhound Fang]
The military badge on his shoulder glowed faintly, absorbing military merits.
Killing Abyss demons not only gave experience and materials, but also military merits.
Lin Moyu understood.
As long as he killed enough, military merits would naturally accumulate.
The remaining Hellhounds arrived. Lin Moyu raised his palm, which glowed faintly.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
With a huge boom, the mist within a 90-meter radius violently exploded and surged into the sky, instantly clearing visibility.
The newly arrived Hellhounds were all instantly killed, none surviving.
Not a single Abyss Hellhound could withstand the damage from Corpse Explosion.
The military badge flashed with an even brighter light.
30 Abyss Hellhounds brought Lin Moyu over 9 million experience, plus 30 military merits.
A faint star began to appear on the military badge.
It was still indistinct, not fully formed.
Lin Moyu was very satisfied.
More of these Hellhounds would be nice.
The three people who were fleeing for their lives earlier were stunned.
Those Hellhounds chasing them to the death suddenly changed direction and charged at Lin Moyu.
Just as they thought Lin Moyu was done for,
Lin Moyu forcefully killed the Hellhounds with methods they had never seen before.
"So powerful! Is he a high-level career holder?"
"Those are undead summons. I’ve never seen this kind of career before."
"Me neither. There are warriors and mages, and so many of them too."
Lin Moyu glanced at them from afar and nodded slightly, then continued deeper into the Elemental Battlefield with his skeletons.
Until the mist gathered again and completely obscured Lin Moyu’s figure, the three didn’t dare approach.
Lin Moyu was too dominant.
Suspected to be a high-level career holder.
There was a clear distinction between high and low-level career holders, with completely different status.
The knight sat down dejectedly, his face full of relief, "Whatever the case, we’re saved."
"Too bad Old Li couldn’t escape."
"He sacrificed himself for us. We need to take care of Old Li’s family when we get back."
"Definitely. If Old Li hadn’t held them off for us, we probably wouldn’t have escaped either."
After resting briefly, the three activated teleportation stones and disappeared.
In the depths of the Elemental Battlefield, connecting to the Abyss.
The Abyss was pitch black, like a bottomless void.
Suddenly a voice came from within.
"Hm? How did a pack of little dogs suddenly die?"
"Did they run into a high-level career holder?"
"Then let’s send out more little dogs."
As the voice faded, pairs of blood-red eyes appeared in the dark Abyss.
With bloodthirsty light, packs of Abyss Hellhounds charged out of the endless darkness.
Lin Moyu finally saw the dungeon entrance.
A huge vortex slowly rotated in the mist, emitting a buzzing sound.
Flashes of light flickered.
Many people were gathered at the dungeon entrance.
There were people from Divine Summer Empire and other countries.
Bonfires were lit at the dungeon entrance, with many people roasting meat around them.
Groups of people chatted and laughed, discussing how to clear the dungeon, how to distribute loot, how to deal with monsters inside.
This scene reminded Lin Moyu of the situation at the West Sea Mine dungeon entrance.
It felt familiar.
The nearby monsters had been cleared out, making it very safe.
With so many people here, even if monsters respawned, they would be quickly cleared.
Lin Moyu dismissed his skeletons and walked over.
His arrival still attracted others’ attention.
"So young, not even 20 yet?"
"White military badge without any stars, a private."
"Five-star insignia, from Divine Summer Empire."
"Let me check, what level is he!"
The people here were very uninhibited, not as formal as in the empire.
As soon as Lin Moyu appeared, several Detection spells fell on him.
"Ah, he’s wearing a concealment badge."
"Why so secretive? What are you afraid of people seeing?"
"Young man, what level are you? What career? Want to team up? We’re short on people."
"We’re all from Divine Summer. We can carry you through the dungeon."
Lin Moyu’s five-star military badge showed he was from Divine Summer.
Most people at the dungeon entrance were from Divine Summer, all wearing five-star military badges and very enthusiastic.
Divine Summer people were mostly united when abroad.
Arriving at the dungeon entrance, Lin Moyu checked the dungeon information.
The dungeon was called [Dragon Race Frontline Outpost], level 26.
There were Normal, Nightmare, and Hell difficulties to choose from.
Different difficulties had different maximum player limits.
Normal 4 people, Nightmare 6 people, Hell 12 people.
The level requirement was 5 levels up or down, allowing entry between levels 21-31.
The career holders at the dungeon entrance were mostly between levels 26-30.
The lowest was level 25.
Not a single person below level 25 was seen.
This was normal. Besides people like Lin Moyu, very few below level 25 would come to the Elemental Battlefield.
Any random monster outside the Elemental Battlefield wasn’t something a career holder below level 25 could handle.
Looking at the dungeon information, Lin Moyu thought, "There’s Hell difficulty now? Wonder what Hell difficulty is like."
The dungeons he had run before were all Nightmare difficulty.
He had never seen Hell difficulty dungeons before.
In the Dungeon Hall, dungeons below level 40 didn’t have Hell difficulty.
The Elemental Battlefield was indeed different.
"Young man, have you looked enough? We have one spot left in our team. No matter what level you are, it’s fine."
A knight from Divine Summer Empire called out to Lin Moyu.
He also wore a five-star military badge with seven white stars.
A seven-star veteran, he must have killed quite a few Abyss monsters.
Bringing strangers into dungeons was risky. Running into reckless people could get the whole team killed.
His teammates didn’t object to his offer.
It was clear he was a good person, and the team’s overall strength wasn’t weak, able to handle various situations.
"Thank you." Lin Moyu politely declined his invitation.
Then he chose Hell difficulty and entered the dungeon.
Seeing Lin Moyu disappear, some people outside the dungeon were stunned.
"Did he go in?"
"I saw the dungeon vortex flash, he should have gone in."
"Entering the dungeon alone, isn’t that suicide?"
"Not necessarily. Maybe he’s an expert who can solo dungeons."
"Where are there so many experts?"
"Tsk tsk, I’ll check and we’ll know! You Divine Summer people always like to brag."
A person wearing Cherry Blossom Country clothing walked over and threw a talisman into the vortex.
The vortex immediately burst with brilliant light.
