Chapter 120: Acting All Tough, Turns Out to Be a Weakling
After clearing the dungeon for the second time, Lin Moyu had completed most of Bai Yiyuan’s mission.
He now had 12 dragon horns, exceeding the requirement.
8 dragon blood essences and 7 dragon hearts - one more run would be enough.
4 dragon crystal cores - he needed 5 and Ning Yiyi needed 1, so one more run would definitely be sufficient.
Previously Lin Moyu had planned to leave after completing the mission.
But now he changed his mind.
After becoming proficient, the Hell difficulty [Dragon Frontline Outpost] dungeon had become an ideal leveling spot.
The experience was high enough and the equipment drops were good.
Though he couldn’t pull large groups to kill, clearing individually was still quite efficient.
The key was that he wanted to collect a full set of Hell Outpost equipment, not just for himself but also for Ning Yiyi.
He was also somewhat envious of the Hell Outpost set attributes.
Ning Yiyi held the Hell Outpost Dagger lovingly.
Though she couldn’t use it yet, just looking was fine.
The dagger was exquisite, with a slightly curved blade and beautiful lines.
It had attributes surpassing top gold weapons.
Ning Yiyi liked it more and more as she looked.
"Really for me?"
Lin Moyu nodded, also handing her a dragon crystal core, "This too."
Ning Yiyi smiled brilliantly, "Thank you!"
"Let’s go out and rest a bit, then come back to run again."
This time Lin Moyu cleared the dungeon skillfully in only 6 hours, much faster than before.
And chatting with Ning Yiyi along the way, it wasn’t boring and didn’t feel very tiring.
Outside the dungeon, dog barks could be heard everywhere as intense battles were taking place.
Abyss Hellhounds had surged over again after several hours.
And in even greater numbers than before.
The dungeon exit was completely surrounded by Hellhounds. When people came out of the dungeon, the Hellhounds would attack.
Several people had already died in the Hellhounds’ mouths.
Even more were injured.
An invisible aura enveloped a large area.
The Divine Summer Empire career holders gathered together, fighting the Hellhounds with all their might.
Small teams formed defensive lines, healers constantly casting healing spells.
Shi Xing’an’s team had become a core force.
The Outpost set demonstrated great effect, greatly reducing his pressure.
"Fortunately we have the Outpost set, otherwise it would have been dangerous earlier."
Shi Xing’an felt lucky.
They were attacked as soon as they exited the dungeon. Everyone in the team was injured.
Liang Yue was casting healing spells non-stop while chugging potions.
In this kind of battle, spirit power consumption was too severe. They had to replenish while fighting.
"This won’t work, we need to break out."
There were at least 500 Hellhounds here, completely surrounding them.
Liang Yue looked at the dense mass of Hellhounds outside, "If we don’t break out, we’ll be trapped to death here."
"It’s useless," the team’s archer suddenly spoke up.
The archer glanced at the sky, "There’s an Abyss demon in the air. It won’t let us leave."
The mist filled the sky, but he saw more with his Eagle Eye skill.
Liang Yue was anxious, "Then what do we do?"
Shi Xing’an said, "Hold on until Junior Lin comes out. His skills are the bane of Abyss monsters. Once he comes out, these Hellhounds will be no match."
Everyone thought of Lin Moyu’s terrifyingly powerful area attack skills.
A few booms and this place would be cleared clean.
Liang Yue knew their only option was to hold on stubbornly. Only by persevering did they have hope.
The Hellhounds weren’t much, the key was the Abyss demon in the sky.
This was what gave them a headache.
At this moment, light flashed at the dungeon entrance as someone else came out.
The Abyss demon in the sky swept its cold gaze over, slightly disappointed, "Not them, no scent of my children."
"In that case, just eat them."
The people from the dungeon hadn’t finished teleporting out when Hellhounds pounced, biting frantically.
Screams immediately rang out.
Zhou Lesheng had just exited the dungeon. Before he could steady himself or his vision could clear, he heard his companions screaming.
"What’s happening!"
Zhou Lesheng shouted angrily.
The aura under his feet immediately changed.
The original pure white aura disappeared, replaced by a flame-like aura undulating like ocean waves.
After he changed his aura, the same aura appeared under the feet of everyone in his team.
This was the effect of the Holy Light Knight’s aura. Anyone in the team within range could share the skill effect.
Skill: Repelling Aura.
As the aura appeared, the biting Hellhounds were instantly knocked back.
A half-meter radius around each person became a forbidden zone, Hellhounds unable to approach.
This was the aura’s effect.
With the aura active, Zhou Lesheng ignored the Hellhounds and began observing his surroundings.
"Why are there so many Hellhounds?"
He was secretly shocked. He had never seen so many Hellhounds, at least 500-600.
Two teammates were bitten by Hellhounds. The team’s healer was using skills to heal them.
Shi Xing’an saw Zhou Lesheng’s group exit the dungeon and shouted, "Be careful, there’s a demon in the sky!"
Zhou Lesheng jerked his head up. His vision was still dark, but he saw a demon flapping its wings diving towards him.
His combat awareness was extremely strong. Sword in left hand and shield in right, he quickly assumed a battle stance.
The demon also wielded a spiked mace, swinging it fiercely.
Zhou Lesheng seemed very confident in his aura, showing no fear as he said solemnly, "Useless, you can’t break through my aura."
The Abyss demon didn’t care at all, grinning viciously, "Die!"
As the attack came, Zhou Lesheng’s expression changed drastically.
His Repelling Aura was ineffective.
With a bang, the mace struck his shield.
Zhou Lesheng was sent flying, crashing to the ground.
The team’s healer was quick-witted, casting a healing spell on Zhou Lesheng before he even landed.
Zhou Lesheng lay on the ground, coughing up blood.
His face showed shock.
That strike was too heavy, nearly killing him outright.
His shield seemed useless, completely unable to block it.
The aura was the same. His supposedly infallible Repelling Aura had failed.
Shi Xing’an covered his head, "Acting all tough, turns out to be a weakling."
Liang Yue also nodded, "Really useless."
As the Abyss demon appeared, countless Detection spells fell on it.
One after another, faces showed despair.
Level 36...
So many levels higher than them, how could they fight it?
And Abyss demons were famously powerful.
Even those of the same level were hard to fight, let alone so many levels higher.
Shi Xing’an also used Detection, muttering, "We’re in trouble. Now I hope Junior Lin doesn’t come out. Wait for them to leave before coming out."
The Abyss demon flapped its wings, hovering in the air. Its voice was cold and bloodthirsty, "Tsk tsk, a Holy Light Knight, legendary career holder."
"Killing a Holy Light Knight, what a profit."
At this moment, someone in Zhou Lesheng’s team took out an item and activated it.
A beam of light shot into the sky, exploding brilliantly.
It was so bright it could be seen from hundreds of miles away.
"We’ve sent a distress signal. Everyone hold on, help will come soon," Zhou Lesheng shouted loudly.
The Abyss demon chuckled, "Too late."
The dungeon entrance lit up as someone else came out.
