Chapter 111: Dragon Assassins, Extreme Attributes
Lin Moyu put away all contempt and advanced cautiously step by step.
Using his numerical advantage, he gradually eliminated the dragon monsters outside the fortress.
After a full hour, the dragon monsters outside the fortress were finally all gone.
He obtained another dragon horn.
Of the four dragon materials Bai Yiyuan wanted - dragon heart, dragon blood essence, dragon horn, 10 of each.
Dragon crystal cores, fewer were required, only 5.
So far, he had obtained 5 dragon horns, but none of the other materials.
Bai Yiyuan’s materials were very difficult to obtain. Lin Moyu felt one dungeon run wouldn’t be enough.
He rested again for a while and checked his spirit power.
Including his spirit equipment set, he had 3300 total spirit power, with 2200 remaining, exactly two-thirds.
Clearing the dragon monsters individually later didn’t consume much spirit power, and even recovered a bit.
His gaze fell on the towering fortress. He had a plan.
There were two types of monsters on the fortress - archers and mages.
He had experienced the mages, but not the archers yet. However, he imagined they wouldn’t be easy to deal with either.
Several skeleton warriors charged forward. Lin Moyu watched the fortress intently without blinking.
When they got within 300 meters, the dragon mages and archers on the fortress simultaneously discovered the skeleton warriors.
The dragon archers immediately drew their bows, arrows flying out.
Wind also blew from the dragon mages’ staves as they started with Wind Shackles.
The moment they attacked, Lin Moyu ordered the skeleton warriors to run back.
The arrows missed, but the Wind Shackles seemed to have eyes, still hitting the skeleton warriors.
This skeleton warrior immediately stopped in place, unable to move.
A second skeleton warrior quickly ran over, grabbed the bound skeleton warrior and fled back.
The attacking dragon archers and mages simultaneously jumped down from the fortress and chased after them.
Lure the monsters out to clear them.
After being lured out, the dragon mages and archers were quickly surrounded by skeleton warriors.
[Dragon Archer (Hell Difficulty Elite Monster)]
[Level: 31]
[Strength: 8000]
[Agility: 10000]
[Spirit: 3000]
[Constitution: 8000]
[Skills: Arrow Rain, Binding Arrow]
Just from the skill names, it was clear the dragon archers also had control skills.
Lin Moyu felt his choice was correct.
The monsters here all had control skills. In large numbers, his skeleton warriors would be useless.
But in small numbers, the skeleton warriors could be effective.
In any case, the skeleton warriors’ attributes were still very strong, dealing considerable damage.
Two monsters were pulled out. The skeleton warriors immediately surrounded them and beat them up.
In just a few seconds, the two monsters were cleared.
[Killed Dragon Archer]
[Obtained Dragon Blood Essence]
"So dragon blood essence is obtained from archers."
Mages dropped horns, archers dropped blood essence.
The level 30 spearmen dropped nothing.
Lin Moyu continued this method, constantly luring monsters off the fortress and clearing them bit by bit.
Half an hour later, the fortress was empty.
"Finally done!"
He now had 8 dragon horns and 4 dragon blood essences.
Lin Moyu dusted off his hands and strode into the fortress.
The fortress wasn’t large, just an outpost as the dungeon name suggested.
The space inside wasn’t big.
Strangely, besides the archers and mages on the walls, no other monsters were seen.
Just as Lin Moyu was puzzled, suddenly a skeleton warrior was attacked.
The attack power was astonishing. The skeleton warrior was instantly heavily injured.
The sudden attack startled Lin Moyu. He instinctively recalled this skeleton warrior to his summoning space.
The recall succeeded. The skeleton warrior returned to the summoning space.
Fortunately the skeleton warrior wasn’t controlled, just purely attacked.
It looked miserable now, with dense cracks all over its bones, seeming about to break at any moment. It was badly injured.
In less than two seconds, the skeleton warrior was almost instantly killed.
If a few seconds later, the skeleton warrior would probably have died.
Lin Moyu was secretly shocked, "Such strong attack power."
This was the first time encountering such high damage.
Even the world-class boss Lion Tyrant couldn’t deal such damage to skeleton warriors.
Most crucially, he didn’t even know where the attack came from.
The skeleton warriors didn’t detect the attacker.
For even the keen skeleton warriors to not find the attacker was also something Lin Moyu had never encountered.
He silently recast Bone Armor on himself to avoid being ambushed.
Seconds later, another skeleton warrior was attacked.
The injuries were equally severe.
Lin Moyu immediately recalled the skeleton warrior.
Then all skeleton warriors collectively returned, gathering around him.
Unknown enemies were the most terrifying.
"Two skeleton warriors attacked, 10 seconds apart, hundreds of meters apart."
"The attack methods were almost identical, both from behind."
"Either they move very fast, or there’s more than one."
"Either way, find a way to locate them first."
The situation seemed tricky.
Lin Moyu’s gaze turned sharp. The Hell difficulty dungeon indeed exceeded his expectations.
For him, the difficulty of Hell dungeons wasn’t the monsters’ attack power or numbers.
It was mainly because the monsters here all used control skills.
Making skeleton warriors unable to perform as they should.
Skeleton mages and warriors surrounded Lin Moyu in layers.
Before finding the ambushing monsters, Lin Moyu didn’t advance further.
His breathing gradually evened out as Lin Moyu completely calmed down.
After over ten seconds, skeleton warriors were attacked again.
Three skeleton warriors were attacked simultaneously.
"Attack!"
He was prepared.
When the skeleton warriors were attacked, the skeleton mages’ skills activated in sync.
Less than 0.1 seconds apart.
Ice Storm, Tornado Storm.
These two attack skills were used.
10 meter attack range, no need to lock onto targets.
Within the skills’ range, ice rained down from the sky while tornadoes howled.
Combined, the ice spun like arrows in the air.
Several blurry shadows appeared in view.
Under attack, the unknown enemies finally revealed themselves.
Nearby skeleton warriors instantly activated skills.
Red light burst from their blades.
Skill: Berserk Strike!
With miserable screams, the hidden monsters fully revealed their forms.
Dragon monsters wielding daggers, wearing black light armor.
Assassins?
Lin Moyu looked at the monsters, this word popping into his mind.
The next second, Detection flew out.
[Dragon Assassin (Hell Difficulty Elite Monster)]
[Level: 32]
[Strength: 10000]
[Agility: 10000]
[Spirit: 2000]
[Constitution: 5000]
[Skills: Stealth, Deadly Strike]
Extreme attributes.
Strength and agility both reached 10000, while spirit was pitifully low.
Such extreme attributes, combined with Stealth and Deadly Strike skills.
Their instant burst damage was terrifying.
Even skeleton warriors were heavily injured in one hit.
Moreover, they could use skills while stealthed without breaking stealth.
Extreme and powerful monsters.
Unfortunately, they were still found by Lin Moyu.
The Stealth skill was dispelled when attacked.
Once exposed, their advantages vanished.
Their weak constitution became a fatal flaw.
Under the focused attacks of skeleton warriors and mages, the three dragon assassins were instantly killed.
[Killed Level 32 Dragon Assassin, Experience +640000]
[Obtained Dragon Heart]
Lin Moyu was pleased, "So dragon hearts come from dragon assassins."
Mages dropped horns, archers dropped blood essence, assassins dropped hearts.
Now only crystal cores were unknown.
He looked towards the depths of the fortress.
The fortress was shrouded in night, silent.
At the deepest part was a plaza, the final point of the dungeon.
No dragon monsters could be seen along the way.
But Lin Moyu knew there were likely many assassins lurking in various corners.
Waiting to launch deadly attacks.
The team no longer spread out.
Skeleton warriors outside, skeleton mages inside, Lin Moyu at the core.
The entire team advanced through the fortress.
As Lin Moyu predicted, they were ambushed again along the way.
The skeleton mages reacted quickly, using area skills to force out the assassins.
Then the skeleton warriors focused fire to instantly kill them.
Though skeleton warriors were heavily injured when ambushed,
It was actually easier for Lin Moyu.
Because they had no control skills.
Skeleton warriors recovered quickly in the summoning space. As long as they didn’t die, they could fully recover soon.
Finally, the team advanced to the dungeon’s final point and saw the boss.
On the rock wall behind the plaza was carved a giant dragon image.
Lifelike, as if a real dragon was soaring with spread wings.
In the center of the plaza was also a stone statue.
The statue was about 10 meters tall, in the shape of a dragon monster.
As Lin Moyu arrived, the entire fortress began to shake.
The stone statue cracked, large stone fragments raining down like raindrops.
The boss began to awaken.
