Chapter 157

[Agility: 10,000]

[Spirit: 10,000]

[Constitution: 15,000]

[Traits: Influenced by abyssal energy, defense enhanced, vitality enhanced.]

Seeing the information from the Detection Spell, Lin Moyu understood.

The monsters here had a close relationship with the abyss, and it could be said that they existed because of abyssal energy.

Although their level was suppressed, and their attributes were not as high as a level 40 High-level Demon…

…their traits were very strong.

With both defense and vitality enhanced, it possessed even greater combat power.

That was why even the concentrated fire of 100 Skeleton Mages could only injure it, failing to insta-kill it.

It swung its three-meter-long broadsword, landing it on a Skeleton Warrior and producing a metallic clanging sound.

The Skeleton Warrior only paused slightly, not retreating even half a step.

With the Skeleton Warrior's super-strong attributes, as long as the opponent's attack didn't carry special effects, there was nothing to fear.

No matter how high your defense or how strong your vitality, it was just a matter of a few more slashes.

The Skeleton Warriors standing at the very front unleashed their skills one after another.

Their broadswords, glowing with red light, fell upon it, ripping its flesh open.

There was no scene of spraying blood; instead, black mist drifted from the wounded areas and dissipated into the air.

The Battlefield Wolf Demon didn't even feel pain, completely ignoring the attacks landing on its body.

If it were a demon, it would have already felt the pain and flown away.

Ten Skeleton Warriors unleashed a round of skills simultaneously, and the Skeleton Mages' second round of concentrated fire arrived once more.

This time, it couldn't hold on.

The Battlefield Wolf Demon made a strange sound, like a balloon being popped.

With black mist rising from its entire body, it vanished without a trace.

[Killed Level 34 Battlefield Wolf Demon, Experience +680,000]

The experience was very high, much higher than the Hell-difficulty outpost Dungeon.

It was also twice as high as an Abyssal Demon of the same level.

After all, it was a Hell-difficulty level 30 Dungeon, so such experience was to be expected.

Lin Moyu frowned.

"No corpse…"

Just like the monsters in the Elemental Plains, there were no corpses, which restricted the Corpse Explosion skill.

Ning Yiyi also frowned. "Without corpses, you can't blow them up."

Lin Moyu nodded in agreement; that was indeed the case.

But in the next second, Ning Yiyi smiled. "Then let's just push through them one by one."

Settling for the next best option, since they couldn't explode them, they would fight them one by one.

The moment they stepped into this area, the world was completely enveloped in darkness.

In this night-like world, there was no light, and visibility became extremely poor.

All light entering this place was swallowed by the darkness.

The only source of light now was the Soul Fire flickering inside the skeletons' skulls.

Soul Fire rose from Lin Moyu's hand, illuminating a small area.

A sharp gleam flashed in Ning Yiyi's eyes as her Assassin skill was activated.

Assassins were originally spirits of the night; darkness was her best companion.

In Ning Yiyi's vision, the darkness was actually more friendly.

"So many monsters,"

Ning Yiyi exclaimed softly.

She saw monsters hiding one after another in the darkness.

Lin Moyu couldn't see them. "You point, I'll attack."

"Alright!"

Ning Yiyi responded excitedly.

Since exposing the Dragon Assassin, she had been like a mere decorative ornament, but she hadn't expected to be useful again here.

Ning Yiyi pointed out the specific locations of the monsters, and Lin Moyu immediately ordered the Skeleton Warriors to charge and fight.

Although clearing them one by one wasn't as satisfying as mass-killing, it was still efficient and much safer.

Lin Moyu was also spared any worry, requiring no complex command.

As long as Ning Yiyi pointed out where the monsters were, he just had to let the skeletons go up and slaughter them.

There were many, many monsters here, densely packed.

Sometimes, several monsters would be pulled at once, but that only required a little more effort.

Lin Moyu had already discovered that the monsters here were just tougher and had stronger vitality, with nothing else special about them.

Even though both were Hell difficulty, this place was much simpler than the [Dragon Clan Frontline Outpost] Dungeon.

Lin Moyu swept all the way through, and his experience steadily rose.

By the time they reached the halfway point, Lin Moyu's experience had reached 99%.

Meanwhile, Ning Yiyi was bathed in white light, having just completed a level-up.

Ning Yiyi couldn't help but say, "This is Hell difficulty? It's too easy."

Chapter 158: Really Doesn't Deserve the Title of Hell Difficulty, Weak Monsters and Weak Boss!

After killing a few more monsters, Lin Moyu finally leveled up as well.

According to his plan, he summoned ten brand-new Skeleton Warriors before leveling up, replenishing them into his Summoning Space.

Bringing the number of Skeleton Warriors back to 140.

He didn't use his post-level-up mental power for the time being.

Without knowing what the Boss was like, to be safe, it was better to keep his mental power in reserve; it might come in handy.

The team continued to advance, and before they knew it, the dark world had been cleared.

The difficulty of the monsters in the second half didn't change, they were just getting denser.

Basically, they had to face more than two monsters at the same time every time.

Encountering four or five at once was also normal.

Lin Moyu felt nothing about this; after all, the ones fighting in front were all his skeletons.

Gold-medal fighters, the Skeleton Warriors; gold-medal mages, the Skeleton Mages.

They were tireless, felt no pain, and feared neither life nor death.

There was no existence more dedicated than them.

"Moyu, do you feel like it's getting brighter here?"

Ning Yiyi suddenly spoke up.

Lin Moyu had already noticed the difference earlier. As they killed more and more monsters, the pitch-black environment was indeed becoming brighter.

The light was no longer completely swallowed, and standing here, they could even see the light on the distant horizon.

Not only was it getting brighter here, but even the Boss statue was emitting a faint glow.

Ning Yiyi added with confusion, "Although it's glowing, why do I feel like it's getting even darker?"

It was indeed getting darker and darker.

It was now like ink, so black that it reflected light.

Every time a monster was killed, black energy would dissipate into the air.

Some of it vanished to parts unknown, while another part entered the statue.

The death of the monsters seemed to be some kind of ritualistic trigger to awaken the Boss.

And those dissipating black energies, Lin Moyu felt as if they were flying in the direction of the human race.

Lin Moyu was certain his observation was correct. "As we eliminate the monsters of the Abyssal faction, the power of the Abyss weakens, and the power of the human race grows stronger."

"Furthermore, the energy from the Abyssal monsters we kill flows into the statue after their death."

"The Dungeon looks very simple, but the hardest part is probably this Boss."

Lin Moyu didn't believe a Hell-difficulty Dungeon would be this simple; there had to be a difficult aspect to it.

If it were just like this, those teams would only need to be careful and lure the monsters over to eliminate them one by one.

Not to mention a full 12-man team, even Shi Xingan's team could push through with a bit of effort.

Ning Yiyi also felt that Lin Moyu's judgment was correct.

The truly difficult part of this Dungeon should be the Boss.

In the Nightmare difficulty that Shi Xingan spoke of, there was no such change.

And Nightmare difficulty didn't have the scene they saw at the beginning either.

If there was, he would have definitely mentioned it.

Shi Xingan was a meticulous person and had described their clearing process in great detail.

Some parts matched, but other parts didn't align at all.

From this, it was clear that the mechanics of Hell difficulty and Nightmare difficulty were completely different.

The final Boss's statue wasn't that big, only 30 meters tall.

Although it was still tall, it wouldn't be like now, reaching a height of a hundred meters.

Generally speaking, the larger the size, the stronger the power, so Lin Moyu became increasingly cautious.

Now that it was slightly brighter, Lin Moyu could see the monsters. Ning Yiyi could finally let her big eyes relax.

So far, this Dungeon had no difficulty.

This was the most unusual thing.

How could a Hell-difficulty Dungeon be so simple?

The monsters were killed one by one, their numbers dwindling.

The sky grew brighter and brighter.

The night was almost completely gone.

Only a few scattered monsters remained.

The Boss statue was already black beyond words.

It was several times darker than the thickest ink, and in its center, it still emitted a faint light.

The statue had already begun to vibrate, as if its awakening was imminent.

As long as Lin Moyu killed the last few monsters, it would completely awaken.

With a solemn expression, Lin Moyu said to Ning Yiyi, "Go to the foot of the mountain, don't come over."

Ning Yiyi also knew that her presence might become a burden to Lin Moyu. "Then be careful yourself, stay safe."

After saying that, Ning Yiyi obediently ran to the foot of the mountain, hiding behind a large boulder, only peeking out with her small head.
