Ancient God Statue! Strengthened monsters!

Just as Qin Feng began to move.

Hundreds of faceless humanoid monsters, the 'Long-Tongued Elders', surrounded him and launched ranged physical attacks toward Qin Feng.

Black, viscous tongues surged toward Qin Feng from all directions at speeds exceeding the speed of sound!

However, just as those attacks were about to hit Qin Feng…

A black void sphere suddenly appeared in the field.

That was the skill 'Void Traction' from Snake Woman Shamiya!

It was this very skill that had wiped out hundreds of thousands of people in Japan. Unfortunately, after becoming a mount, she lost her BOSS template, and her attributes and skill strength had decreased significantly in all aspects…

Of course, in this not-so-spacious cave, her skill completely covered the entire area!

Those 'Long-Tongued Elders' without BOSS or elite templates were all absorbed by Void Traction, gathering into a clump in mid-air in the center of the cave.

"Small monsters are susceptible to crowd control."

"No matter how high their attributes are, a single control skill is enough to make them completely submissive…"

Qin Feng raised his hand, and together with the Abyssal Puppet he had summoned to his side, he immediately cast 'Shadow of Death'!

The main body, the puppet, and the shadows—a total of twelve units—hurled over a hundred Shadow Blades in a single second!

Instantly slaughtering the Long-Tongued Elders that had been gathered together!

Qin Feng's super-high weak-point hit modifier meant that even if his Shadow Blades were thrown into thin air, they would still strike the heads of those Long-Tongued Elders.

Therefore, when the monsters were gathered together, Qin Feng didn't need to aim at all.

He could easily take out his opponents by throwing Shadow Blades at random.

Just after the first batch of hundreds of monsters was instantly wiped out, more monsters continued to emerge from the surrounding mirrors!

Batch after batch of crimson bats poured into the battlefield one after another.

Unfortunately.

These bats had barely flown out before they were affected by the 'Void Traction' still present on the field, once again being pulled and gathered together.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

A barrage of Shadow Blades whistled through the air, instantly clearing out these hundreds of crimson bats!

"As expected of monsters with thousandfold attributes… they are too tanky!"

Qin Feng looked at the damage numbers popping up above the crimson bats' heads and felt a bit of a headache.

Normally, when he was outside, a single Shadow Blade would deal hundreds of millions in base damage.

However…

These monsters from the Path to the End had explosive attribute growth, giving them nearly 200,000 in defense and elemental resistance, along with a 10% Fixed Defense effect!

What did this mean?

It meant that…

Without penetration, their base damage reduction reached 99.5%!

Even with Qin Feng's 100% armor penetration and elemental penetration, one-tenth of these monsters' defense still remained effective, which was nearly 20,000.

20,000 in defense and elemental resistance could grant them 95% base damage reduction!

Every Shadow Blade that he and the Abyssal Puppet fired dealt just over ten million in damage.

"Fortunately, these monsters only have between 1.7 million and 2 million HP at most."

"They can still be killed in one hit…"

Immediately afterward, Osirio unleashed a Tornado Whirlwind, taking over for Samiya and sweeping all the monsters that spawned into it.

The two mounts took turns using crowd control skills, ensuring that the surrounding small monsters were controlled and gathered as soon as they spawned, and then slaughtered by endless Shadow Blades!

"Now, as long as the small monsters spawn, they will be controlled and eliminated."

"I can take out over a hundred of them every second."

"For every monster killed, I gain 1 point."

Qin Feng observed his challenge points.

Starting from zero, it jumped and surged crazily: one thousand points, two thousand points, three thousand points…

However, it was a pity that his ranking remained outside the top 10,000.

"This leaderboard compares my current points with the final points of other players."

"I've just started, so it's normal that my ranking isn't high yet."

Qin Feng wasn't in a hurry.

So far, this Path to the End challenge was still relatively simple.

Aside from the monsters having slightly higher stats, it was overall very easy.

But Qin Feng knew… this challenge couldn't stay this simple forever.

Sure enough.

Just after the challenge had been going on for a minute, when Qin Feng's points reached 7,429, he saw one of the purple mirrors spawning monsters in the cave suddenly melt!

The melted purple mirror formed a purple Ancient God Statue cast from the void!

When the Ancient God Statue formed, a powerful force spread outward, enveloping the entire field!

——

[Invulnerability: From this moment on, all monsters here will not be controlled by any means!]

[Point Multiplier: From this moment on, you will receive double points for killing monsters!]

——

It's here!

"This intensity… it's not low."

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes.

Obviously, the Path to the End challenge was simple at the start, but it seemed that every minute, one of the mirrors would melt into a statue, providing an undispellable buff to all the monsters on the field.

The further it went, the harder it became to kill monsters!

But at the same time, the points gained from killing monsters doubled!

"It's fine."

"The puppet and I can take turns using Abyss Wither Curse."

Qin Feng remained calm.

Seeing another batch of uncontrolled monsters spawning from the fifteen surrounding mirrors, he raised his hand and cast the Ancient-Grade 'Abyss Wither Curse', covering the entire field!

In that instant, the attack power of all monsters on the field was reduced by 399%!

It was reduced directly to a negative value!

"Kill!"

Qin Feng didn't hesitate at all.

He and the Abyssal Puppet released Shadow of Death again, throwing Shadow Blades in all directions to wipe out the monsters!

The next moment…

Those uncontrolled monsters, although quickly killed as soon as they spawned, still managed to unleash one or two skills each toward Qin Feng, the Abyssal Puppet, Osirio, Grey Chicken, and Samiya before they were wiped out.

Fortunately, thanks to the effect of Abyss Wither Curse, our members were not only unharmed but were actually healed instead…

Osirio: "Oh! I finally got to experience the effect of being healed, it wasn't easy!"

Grey Chicken: "That's right, you used to be the one healing others."

Osirio: "Wuwuwu! I'm so moved!"

However, it was a pity.

The second minute was about to pass. Under the effect of the double points, Qin Feng's points reached 21,000, but his ranking was still outside the top 10,000.

As the second purple mirror melted into a statue…

——

[Divine: From this moment on, all monsters here will not suffer from negative status effects!]

[Point Multiplier: From this moment on, you will receive triple points for killing monsters!]

(Note: Damage-dealing negative status effects still take effect, such as bleeding, poisoning, etc.!)

——

The disgusting part had arrived.

Abyss Wither Curse would be ineffective!

And this meant that Qin Feng's real challenge had arrived… Just now, he had been relying on clever tricks and mindless damage to one-shot the monsters.

But from now on, he would have to face threats from the monsters!

"These monsters with thousandfold attributes also have their attack power increased a thousandfold."

"Usually, small monsters can't deal any damage to me, but with thousandfold attack power, a single hit on me deals at least several thousand damage…"

Although Qin Feng had his Damage Immunity Shield and high Evasion.

He couldn't handle the sheer number of monsters!

And they were monsters with thousandfold attributes and equally high hit modifiers!

Under the concentrated attacks of hundreds of monsters, Qin Feng wasn't even sure if he could hold out!

This made Qin Feng feel a bit sentimental.

"Right now, I really am a glass cannon."

"Although I can one-shot monsters, my defense attributes are indeed much worse by comparison… Fortunately, I have Shadow Arc!"
