Chapter 112

His teammates arrived right behind him: a Mage, an Archer, a Support Prophet, and an Elder Healer.

It was a very standard five-person party composition.

The Elder glanced at Lin Moyu. "He's not injured."

The Knight veteran breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that you're okay."

"We'll hold back the Abyssal Demon Dogs for you. Use a Teleportation Stone to return to the fortress immediately."

He didn't ask how Lin Moyu had come out of the Dungeon alive; now wasn't the time.

Lin Moyu asked, "What happened?"

"Those bastards from the Abyss released a massive number of wild dogs to surround us." The veteran's expression was grim, his words laced with hatred for the Abyss.

Lin Moyu asked, "Then why don't you leave?"

With so many Abyssal Demon Dogs, they certainly couldn't kill them all.

But if they wanted to leave, it would be difficult for the Abyssal Demon Dogs to stop them.

Lin Moyu could see that these people had good equipment, strong skills, and excellent combat awareness.

Combined, they were a very formidable team.

The Healer in the team spoke up then, "Quite a few people were attacked as soon as they came out of the Dungeon. Caught off guard, several were bitten to death."

"So our kind-hearted captain refuses to leave; he wants to save people."

The Healer's tone held a hint of teasing, but she wasn't worried.

She didn't seem to take these Abyssal Demon Dogs seriously at all.

On her clothes, there was also a military badge; five stars shone brightly on the white badge.

The same was true for the rest of the team.

They were all veterans who had killed many Abyssal Monsters.

Therefore, they held nothing but disdain for the Abyssal Demon Dogs, which were the lowest of the low.

The Archer, Mage, and Knight formed a combat circle, easily repelling the Abyssal Demon Dogs that rushed forward.

Screams echoed from a distance; someone was injured.

A light flashed through the Archer's eyes as the Eagle Eye skill was activated, allowing him to see the situation clearly.

"It's a team from Sakura Country. Someone's arm has been bitten off."

"Just an arm. It's fine; it can grow back."

As long as they didn't die, they could find a high-level Healer back at the base to regrow the severed limb.

The key was not to die; missing an arm or a leg didn't matter.

After the battle on Mermaid Island, Lin Moyu had no good feelings toward Sakura Country.

At that moment, the Prophet used a Dungeon Detection Talisman. The results showed that there was no one left in the Dungeon.

The Knight's expression changed slightly. "Prepare to break through."

The Prophet began applying buffs without a word.

Once they started the breakthrough, there might not be time to reapply them.

The group was ready for battle.

The young lady responsible for healing glanced at Lin Moyu. "Why haven't you gone back to the fortress yet?"

Lin Moyu smiled faintly. "I still need to grind the Dungeon."

As he spoke, a cold wind blew past, and a large number of skeletons appeared before everyone.

The Skeleton Warriors joined the fray as soon as they appeared, their broadswords clattering down upon the Abyssal Demon Dogs.

The Skeleton Mages also cast their spells.

Fire filled the sky, and ice covered the ground.

Tornadoes blew the Abyssal Demon Dogs into the air, constantly tearing at them.

Bolts of lightning fell one after another, flaying the hides of the Abyssal Demon Dogs.

"What the hell!"

"What's happening!"

The group preparing to break through was startled.

How did so many skeletons suddenly appear?

The Prophet, who was in the middle of applying buffs, almost choked, and her skill was abruptly interrupted.

Abyssal Demon Dogs didn't possess any crowd control skills.

Before them, the Skeleton Warriors became heartless executioners, their blades falling repeatedly, chopping the Abyssal Demon Dogs into pieces.

One Abyssal Demon Dog after another died miserably on the spot.

The group looked at Lin Moyu in utter shock, unable to find the words to express themselves.

Aside from shock, there was only shock.

Before these skeletons, the Abyssal Demon Dogs were completely fragile.

Soon, a large space had been cleared around them.

"Stand behind me."

Lin Moyu suddenly said in a low voice.

"Why?"

The group was stunned for a moment, not understanding.

Lin Moyu said, "I'm about to use an area-of-effect skill. I'm afraid of accidentally injuring you."

Only then did they understand.

In their eyes, Lin Moyu had become extremely mysterious.

They stood behind Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu raised his hand and locked onto the corpse of an Abyssal Demon Dog.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

The sound of an explosion rang out.

The ground shook, and mangled remains flew everywhere.

The explosion kicked up a strong wind that whistled as it swept past.

Under their shocked gazes, a massive area had been completely cleared.

The ground was covered with the corpses of Abyssal Demon Dogs.

Then Lin Moyu walked forward, and the group hurriedly followed.

Every few steps, Lin Moyu would use Corpse Explosion once.

The battle line pushed forward rapidly.

A large number of Abyssal Demon Dogs were killed, and the military badge on Lin Moyu's shoulder was shining brightly.

When the number of dead Abyssal Demon Dogs reached 100, the first star appeared on it.

The communicator on his wrist vibrated almost simultaneously.

"Military Merit reached 100. Promoted to One-Star Private. Gained 1,000 Points and 5 Contribution Points."

Lin Moyu saw the message on the communicator.

It turned out that killing Abyssal Monsters to gain Military Merit didn't just raise one's military rank.

It also granted Xiajing Academy Points and Contribution Points.

No wonder it was said that if one wanted to earn Contribution Points, they had to come to the Yuan Battlefield.

This was the reason.

The purpose of Xiajing Academy's existence was to train excellent Professionals for the human race.

If excellent Professionals didn't come to the Yuan Battlefield to kill Abyssal Monsters, were they supposed to just stay behind and retire?

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly; 1,000 Contribution Points should be a sure thing.

Abyssal Monsters were good things; their cost-performance ratio was top-tier.

They provided experience, materials, items, Military Merit, Points, and Contribution Points.

They lacked nothing.

Lin Moyu thought that after finishing Bai Yiyuan's task, he might as well just go kill Abyssal Monsters.

It would be a pity not to kill such good things.

He continued to use the Corpse Explosion skill. Every explosion meant a large number of Abyssal Demon Dogs were blown to death.

In just a few minutes, Lin Moyu gained another 100 Military Merit.

The military badge remained glowing as another star appeared on it.

Lin Moyu's rank became Two-Star Private.

The communicator vibrated immediately after.

"Military Merit reached 200. Promoted to Two-Star Private. Gained 1,000 Points and 5 Contribution Points."

While raising military rank was not easy for others, it was far too simple for Lin Moyu.

Two-thirds of the Abyssal Demon Dogs surrounding the Dungeon had been cleared by Lin Moyu single-handedly.

The remaining ones were still besieging various human teams.

Lin Moyu found it inconvenient to use Corpse Explosion anymore.

The skill's power was great, but it was too easy to cause accidental injury.

Actually, it wasn't just injury; it could easily become accidental killing.

The Skeleton Warriors rushed over, hacking at the dogs like mincing meat. Killing them one by one, their efficiency wasn't actually that low.

Soon, the Abyssal Demon Dogs were completely wiped out.

His Military Merit reached 272, just a bit short of three stars.

A total of 242 Abyssal Demon Dogs had died at Lin Moyu's hands.

The battle ended, and many people collapsed onto the ground.

"Great, we're finally saved."

"How could so many Abyssal Demon Dogs come? Could it be that the Abyss is going to launch a massive offensive again?"

"You're overthinking it. It's just because there are too many of these wild dogs in the Abyss."

"Battles like this certainly aren't limited to our location; there must be many others in the Yuan Battlefield."

"I think the army in the fortress might take action. Otherwise, the Yuan Battlefield is too dangerous; it's practically impossible to move."

"Don't think so much. Those who need treatment should get treated, and those who should go back should go back."

Some people were injured, missing arms or legs.

They quickly used Teleportation Stones to return, needing to find a Healer for their injuries.

The earlier the treatment, the better the effect.

Lin Moyu recalled his skeletons and walked back to the front of the Dungeon.

The Knight approached Lin Moyu with a smile. "Young man, let me introduce myself. I'm Shi Xingan. A Level 31 Paladin from Xiajing Academy."

Lin Moyu said softly, "Lin Moyu, Level 23, Necromancer, from Xiajing Academy."

Hearing that they were from the same school, Shi Xingan's smile widened. "So you're a junior! Which year are you in?"

Lin Moyu glanced at the time; it was already past midnight. "This year's class. I just attended the opening ceremony yesterday."}
