Chapter 68: Steamrolling Through, Cover Your Ears
The 20 skeleton warriors steamrolled ahead.
They didn’t care what kind of enhanced elite monster it was, they just charged in and slaughtered everything.
Basically no monster could last more than 5 seconds.
"There aren’t many monsters in this dungeon."
The monsters were scattered and few, so experience gain was slow.
It would be better to gather a batch of monsters and use Corpse Explosion for a satisfying blast.
He didn’t summon more skeleton warriors, as it wouldn’t increase efficiency.
Jiang Taotao never imagined clearing a dungeon could be so easy.
Usually she was the most exhausted when doing dungeons.
As a knight, she had to be at the front, watching every monster attack.
She had to firmly hold aggro while protecting teammates.
Now she just followed behind, not needing to do anything.
"Necromancer, this career is pretty amazing," she thought to herself.
Duan Gao and Miao Yu had similar thoughts.
After entering the dungeon, there was a winding passage, like being in a cave.
The humidity was even heavier than outside, with a rotten smell added to the fishy odor.
Ning Yiyi had been covering her nose since entering the dungeon.
After walking for a while, they finally reached the end of the passage.
A huge cavern appeared ahead.
Jumping down from the passage end was a 50-meter drop.
A giant python was coiled in the center of the cavern.
The python was at least 30 meters tall, with a diameter over 1 meter.
Black scales like armor covered its body, reflecting a metallic sheen.
Lin Moyu’s group had attracted the python’s attention, its huge eyes looking at them.
If they dared jump down, they would surely face the python’s powerful attack.
Detection flew out.
[Mermaid Queen’s Pet Snake (Elite Boss)]
[Level: 23]
[Strength: 3600]
[Agility: 5500]
[Spirit: 3000]
[Constitution: 5000]
[Skills: Lash, Death Coil, Venom]
Such a huge python being called the Mermaid Queen’s pet snake was rather amusing.
This was the highest attribute monster Lin Moyu had seen.
Much higher than the Goblin King.
Very close to the skeleton warriors, even surpassing them in agility.
Jiang Taotao didn’t hesitate, "I’ll tank it."
Lin Moyu shook his head, "No need."
None of them moved, but the skeleton warriors had already charged down.
Lin Moyu still didn’t summon more skeleton warriors.
In his view, 20 were more than enough.
The skeleton warriors leapt up, pouncing on the giant python.
The python rose up, smashing several skeleton warriors away with loud bangs.
Skill: Lash!
The python’s tail whipped out, sweeping away several more skeleton warriors.
Half of the 20 skeleton warriors were knocked away in the first clash.
The python’s reaction was unexpectedly agile.
The remaining skeleton warriors couldn’t land on its body.
The python swam swiftly through the cavern, its huge tail constantly whipping away skeleton warriors.
The skeleton warriors’ attacks could only land occasionally, not even able to use skills.
The skeleton warriors seemed at a disadvantage, but they weren’t taking much damage.
After all, with 5400 constitution, their defense was not low.
Jiang Taotao looked anxious, "It’s too agile, what do we do?"
Lin Moyu said softly, "It’s fine."
His palm glowed faintly as he gently pointed at the giant python.
Skill: Slow Curse.
A red light suddenly filled the cavern, everyone hearing a faint hum.
As if something terrible had descended.
A red shackle symbol appeared above the python’s head.
In an instant, the python’s speed slowed.
Slowed by a full 100%.
Now the skeleton warriors easily caught the python.
Their blades fell frantically, hacking at the python’s scales.
Then skills erupted, dealing even more damage.
Blood sprayed, scales shattered.
The python screamed continuously.
"Is this a curse?" Jiang Taotao recognized the red symbol above the python’s head.
Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."
Necromancers weren’t just summoners, but also mages.
Having lost its speed advantage, the python could only engage in melee with the skeleton warriors.
Skill: Death Coil.
The skill activated, the python’s body coiling around several skeleton warriors.
The skeleton warriors were violently squeezed, making cracking sounds.
It was chilling to hear.
But the skeleton warriors were too sturdy. Though the sound was scary, they weren’t really hurt.
And the coiled skeleton warriors’ blades never stopped.
They still hacked at the python’s body.
The python couldn’t take it and released the skeleton warriors, spitting venom.
The cavern instantly became unbearably foul, nauseating.
The skeleton warriors were splashed with venom. Lin Moyu sensed they took some damage, but still not too serious.
With balanced attributes, no pain, no fear, the skeleton warriors were nearly perfect.
The python tried everything but still couldn’t do much to the skeleton warriors.
And under the curse, it had lost its greatest advantage - speed.
After two minutes of struggle, the python collapsed with a boom.
Its eyes filled with unwillingness.
[Killed Level 23 Mermaid Queen’s Pet Snake, Experience +50000]
[Obtained Silver-grade armor, Snake Skin Armor]
[Obtained Mid-level Monster Crystal Core]
Jiang Taotao’s mouth twitched, hardly believing it, "Is it over just like that?"
"It’s over."
Lin Moyu said as he leapt down, landing steadily after bouncing off the cavern wall.
Jiang Taotao and the others were still dazed, unable to react.
Ning Yiyi smiled brightly, happier the more amazing Lin Moyu was.
"Stop daydreaming, let’s go."
She said as she gracefully leapt down, light as a butterfly.
Much more elegant than Lin Moyu.
Jiang Taotao and the others finally snapped out of it and jumped down.
Passing through the cavern, a sea of blue entered their view.
Ahead was a magnificent palace.
The Mermaid Queen’s palace.
All the foul odors had vanished without a trace.
Instead, there was a faint fragrance here.
The whole environment had changed, clean and tidy.
From where they stood to the palace gates, patrols of guards were making rounds.
Each patrol consisted of three mermaid soldiers.
They wore armor and wielded tridents, looking formidable.
No one used Detection, as it would attract their attention.
These military-looking mermaid monsters weren’t far apart. One wrong move could pull a large group.
"1, 2, 3..."
"Wow, there are 60 patrol teams, a total of 180 mermaid monsters."
Ning Yiyi counted, sticking out her tongue. The number was a bit scary.
Jiang Taotao added, "And they all look like enhanced elite monsters."
Dealing with one such monster was difficult, three at once would be the limit.
Based on Jiang Taotao’s experience, they would pull three monsters from a corner, clear them bit by bit.
Gradually clearing through.
It would be time-consuming and laborious, but safer.
Ning Yiyi looked at Lin Moyu, "So many monsters, what do we do?"
Lin Moyu was actually happy to see so many monsters.
The more monsters, the better.
"Simple."
As he spoke, 20 skeleton warriors had already charged out.
The sudden appearance of the skeleton warriors immediately attracted the mermaid soldiers’ attention.
Team after team of soldiers chased after the skeleton warriors.
Luring monsters?
Was he trying to draw away so many monsters?
That wasn’t a bad idea.
As the skeleton warriors attracted attention, Lin Moyu’s Detection followed.
[Mermaid Elite Soldier (Enhanced Elite Monster)]
[Level: 22]
[Strength: 2200]
[Agility: 1400]
[Spirit: 1000]
[Constitution: 2400]
[Skill: Stunning Sweep]
Seeing the mermaid elite soldiers’ attributes, he had a grasp of the situation.
Soon, all 180 mermaid elite soldiers were gathered by the skeleton warriors.
Then the skeleton warriors ran straight back to Lin Moyu’s position, bringing the monsters with them.
Jiang Taotao’s hair stood on end. What was Lin Moyu doing...
The skeleton warriors stopped 60 meters from Lin Moyu, suddenly turning to unleash their skills.
The mermaid elite soldiers also unleashed their skills simultaneously.
Their tridents swept out glowing arcs.
Skill: Berserk Strike
Skill: Stunning Sweep
The two skills collided, skill light shooting into the sky, brilliant as fireworks.
The skeleton warriors’ attributes were too high. Especially when using skills, their attributes surpassed the mermaid elite soldiers several times over.
In the skill collision, the skeleton warriors completely overwhelmed them.
A mermaid elite soldier fell with a cry.
"Cover your ears," Lin Moyu said to Ning Yiyi.
"Oh." Ning Yiyi quickly covered her ears.
Jiang Taotao and the others hadn’t understood what was happening when a huge boom nearly knocked them over.
Then several more booms followed.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
After several thunderous explosions, everything fell silent.
Jiang Taotao and the others were stunned by the flood of experience notifications.
"This..."
"My god, what just happened?"
"How is this possible, how did he do it..."
"What skill is this, a massive explosion? How is it so powerful?"
Not a single mermaid elite soldier survived.
They gained a huge amount of experience and materials.
This was the first time Jiang Taotao and the others experienced the thrill of experience notifications flooding the screen.
Everyone looked extremely excited.
The gates of the Mermaid Queen’s palace rumbled open amidst the explosion sounds.
