Chapter 206: New Record, Silent Face-Slapping is Most Deadly
Crack, crack!
The sound of skeleton warriors running came from behind.
The skeleton warriors were still dragging a pile of corpses.
However, the monster corpses were disappearing, their life force completely gone.
Only the palace guard corpses remained.
Their life force was stronger and could last a bit longer.
The skeleton warriors were engulfed in flames, constantly taking damage.
Even with the Elemental Resistance passive skill reducing elemental damage by three times,
Even with the skeleton warriors’ constitution attribute as high as 24,000,
The constant damage was still gradually draining the skeleton warriors’ life force.
In Nightmare difficulty, skeleton warriors could last 10 hours.
But in Hell difficulty, skeleton warriors could last less than 3 hours at most.
If they engaged in battle and took some damage, the time would be further shortened.
So Lin Moyu was in a hurry.
He didn’t want the skeleton warriors to die again.
These most loyal soldiers summoned by his own hand.
They couldn’t speak, had no emotions, but Lin Moyu was reluctant to let them die.
Lin Moyu treated them as comrades, as partners.
"Fortunately, this dungeon isn’t big!"
Yes, fortunately this dungeon wasn’t big.
After passing through the lava garden guarded by the Gardener, they entered the final boss area.
That giant eye flew over again, stopping above the waterfall, becoming the Lava Giant’s single eye.
The Lava Giant rose with a rumble, awakening.
"Can’t you hurry up!"
Soul Flame burned in Lin Moyu’s hand, landing on the Lava Giant.
But it had no effect.
An invisible force blocked Lin Moyu’s Soul Flame.
During the Lava Giant’s awakening process, it couldn’t be attacked.
This was the dungeon’s mechanism, rules restricting Lin Moyu.
No choice but to wait.
Lin Moyu tried using Soul Flame again.
The palace guard corpses’ life force was diminishing. Lin Moyu pondered if there was any way to go faster.
Or rather, was there any way to delay the palace guards’ death time.
Finally, the Lava Giant let out an angry roar. It had fully awakened.
Soul Flame took effect at this moment.
Its roar instantly turned into a scream.
Skill: Slow Curse!
Red light fell, instantly slowing the Lava Giant’s speed.
Lin Moyu released all non-fire element skeleton mages.
Wind, water, and lightning elements surged forth.
"Throw!"
As the skeleton mages appeared, the skeleton warriors also threw corpses at the Lava Giant.
All actions were completed within one second.
The coordination between Lin Moyu’s will and the skeletons was perfect.
At this point, the palace guard corpses’ life force was at most a quarter of when they just died.
Fortunately, the Corpse Explosion skill could amplify damage by 750%, still causing considerable damage.
The corpses became projectiles, flying over in rhythm with Lin Moyu’s Corpse Explosion skill.
Explosions rang out rhythmically.
One after another.
The Lava Giant was stunned, each explosion dealing terrifying damage.
The skeleton mages’ skills also dealt significant damage, but compared to Corpse Explosion, it wasn’t as impressive.
The Lava Giant let out earth-shaking screams.
Fear showed in its single eye. At this rate, it would die.
But it had no way to stop it.
Skill: Volcanic Eruption!
Skill: Death Fire Line!
Skill: Lava Ejection!
Three signature moves used simultaneously.
The ground shook, flames filled the sky, lava washed over everything.
But Lin Moyu remained calm, the skeletons fearless and painless.
They continued doing what they should.
When all the corpses were detonated, the Lava Giant was on its last breath.
The lava on its body had been blasted away, revealing its black rock body.
The skeleton warriors had charged to its front, unleashing skills to deliver the final blow.
[Killed Lava Giant, experience +3,800,000]
[Obtained Lava Longbow]
[Obtained Fire Crystal Fragment]
[Lava Longbow: Gold-grade weapon, all attributes +500, fire arrow skills additionally amplified by 15%]
[Fire Crystal Fragment: Three Fire Crystal Fragments can be fused into a Fire Crystal]
Lin Moyu took a deep breath.
His plan had succeeded.
None of the skeletons died, and their injuries weren’t severe.
Given the current situation, he could completely switch to a new batch of skeletons and run it again.
This batch of skeletons could recover in the summoning space first.
Rotating two batches, unless he himself ran out of energy, there was no need to rest at all.
This way efficiency could be greatly improved. Even if he needed to run it over a dozen times, a few days would be enough.
Another Fire Crystal Fragment obtained.
Lin Moyu left the dungeon satisfied.
In the Dungeon Hall, bells rang out.
Three loud rings, meaning a new dungeon record had been born.
Surprisingly, the people outside the dungeon were calm this time, even wearing expressions of anticipation, as if this was expected.
Though they had guessed, they still went to check.
A group of people entered the Dungeon Hall to look.
Bai Li Sheng, discussing dungeon strategies outside, frowned. "Who set a new record? Go check."
A subordinate immediately ran into the Dungeon Hall.
Moments later, that person ran back with an unbelievable expression.
"Young Principal, it’s Lin Moyu. He set a new record."
What!
Bai Li Sheng jumped up.
Didn’t Lin Moyu just enter the dungeon not long ago?
How could he set a new record?
Did he leave the [Fire God Palace] dungeon and go to another easier dungeon?
Bai Li Sheng ran into the Dungeon Hall himself in disbelief.
The [Fire God Palace] dungeon was crowded with people.
Everyone was exclaiming in admiration.
"I said so, Boss Lin’s second dungeon run would definitely set a whole new record."
"Yeah, the second run’s record is always the unshakeable one."
"Not necessarily. Maybe Boss Lin’s third or fourth run will break his own record."
"True. Only Boss Lin himself can break this record. No one else can do it."
Bai Li Sheng’s heart sank, feeling uncomfortable.
He hadn’t expected Lin Moyu to really set a new [Fire God Palace] record.
The [Fire God Palace] that their 12-person team couldn’t clear, Lin Moyu soloed and cleared so quickly.
Was the gap really that big?
Constant praise and admiration for Lin Moyu reached his ears. The more he heard, the worse he felt.
Bai Li Sheng’s expression gradually twisted.
He couldn’t accept this result.
Lin Moyu’s new record flashed brightly above the dungeon.
Time: 1 hour 12 minutes 34 seconds.
A terrifying result, an unbreakable record.
The previous Nightmare difficulty record that stood for 5 years was over 8 hours.
Lin Moyu’s new Hell difficulty record was 1 hour 12 minutes.
The difference was immeasurable.
This fully proved how strong Lin Moyu’s actual combat power was.
It couldn’t be measured by level at all.
At this moment, the dungeon vortex flashed, and Lin Moyu appeared outside.
But the next second, the vortex flashed again.
Lin Moyu had re-entered the dungeon.
He reset the cooldown and continued running the dungeon.
He needed to run it at least 15 times to gather three complete Fire Crystals.
"He just came out and went back in. Boss Lin is really hardworking."
"Isn’t he tired soloing? Doesn’t he need to rest?"
"Maybe this is the difference between a boss and us."
"I remember Boss Lin was like this before too. When he carried others through the Tyrant Desert dungeon, he ran it continuously without resting."
"Anyway, if we have dungeon tasks we can’t clear in the future, we can try asking Boss Lin. There’s no dungeon he can’t clear."
...
All topics revolved around Lin Moyu, praising him.
Bai Li Sheng didn’t want to hear anymore.
Walking out of the Dungeon Hall, he felt disheartened.
His confidence had taken a severe blow. He couldn’t recover for a while.
He had confidently led a full 12-person team, fully prepared, wanting to set a new dungeon record.
But they were forced to retreat halfway, ending in failure.
Lin Moyu then effortlessly showed him how it’s done.
This silent comparison was even more painful than a direct slap to the face.
A feeling of complete frustration stuck in his chest, unable to be vented.
Bai Li Sheng sighed dejectedly, "Let’s go back."
After speaking, he didn’t wait for his subordinates and directly activated his teleportation stone to leave the Dungeon Hall.
