Chapter 232

"The key lies in its trait: physical damage is reduced by a full 70%, which is why it could withstand two attacks from the Skeleton Warrior without dying."

But this time, the Skeleton Warrior's preemptive attack landed a Fatal Strike.

[Killed Level 38 Flame Scorched Mist, EXP +760,000]

The EXP is about the same as an Abyssal Demon, which fits its stats.

However, the danger level is a bit higher than an Abyssal Demon.

Its elusive attacks and terrifying instantaneous burst damage are enough to give many Professionals a headache.

After clearing out this monster, he continued moving forward.

After walking for a distance, he didn't encounter a second monster.

The Ancient Battlefield is incredibly vast; the closer one gets to the center, the more monsters there are, and the further away, the fewer.

Everyone who comes to the Ancient Battlefield judges their location using this method.

He had been in the Ancient Battlefield for nearly half a day, and apart from the first Flame Scorched Mist he encountered, he hadn't come across another monster since.

To Lin Moyu, the place felt desolate; apart from the black earth and rolling hills, there was nothing else.

By now, Lin Moyu was certain that he was located at the very edge of the Ancient Battlefield—the extreme edge, at that.

He changed direction and headed toward the other side.

Finally, a second monster appeared in his line of sight.

Over three meters tall, it was a massive monster composed entirely of black rock.

It slowly dragged its massive body across the ground, the rocky frame grating against the earth and making a rustling sound.

When he saw it, it happened to have its back turned to him.

A faint glimmer flashed at his fingertip, and a breeze flew out.

[Black Rock Monster]

[Level: 45]

[Strength: 20,000]

[Agility: 5,000]

[Spirit: 20,000]

[Constitution: 30,000]

[Skill: Whirlwind Ball]

[Trait: Physical damage reduced by 50%, elemental damage reduced by 70%]

As expected of a Level 45 monster, its four-dimensional attributes combined reached a staggering 75,000 points.

Strength and Spirit were as high as 20,000 points each.

The skill is spell-based, indicating that this is a monster possessing both elemental and physical attacks.

The moment Lin Moyu saw the stats, the Black Rock Monster had already turned around.

It raised its massive arm.

A wind ball, larger than Lin Moyu himself, came whistling toward him.

The Whirlwind Ball moved at high speed, slamming into Lin Moyu with an explosive force.

The Bone Armor shone brilliantly with an intense white light.

With a loud bang, the Whirlwind Ball exploded in front of Lin Moyu.

Protected by the Bone Armor, Lin Moyu remained completely unharmed.

However, the Skeleton Warriors on both sides were knocked back several meters.

The Whirlwind Ball had a forced knockback effect.

Following that, the two Skeleton Warriors quickly ran forward, unleashing their skills.

Their greatswords landed on the Black Rock Monster, producing sounds like striking iron.

The rock monster swung its massive arms, attacking the Skeleton Warriors.

It wasn't just its Whirlwind Ball that had a knockback effect; every one of its normal attacks also carried a knockback effect.

The Skeleton Warriors were constantly knocked back, only to rush forward again.

With a Constitution as high as 30,000 and 50% physical damage reduction, this attribute made it very durable.

The Skeleton Warriors were endlessly knocked back, able to exert only half of their strength at most.

While the two Skeleton Warriors' attributes were as high as 40,000, it would still take time to kill it.

Another Whirlwind Ball appeared and exploded upon hitting a Skeleton Warrior.

With a bang, both Skeleton Warriors were knocked back simultaneously.

Especially the Skeleton Warrior that took the impact head-on; it was knocked back over a hundred meters.

Lin Moyu's heart stirred, and eight more Skeleton Warriors appeared.

Ten Skeleton Warriors surrounded it, unleashing a flurry of skills against the Black Rock Monster.

The Black Rock Monster let out a dull sound as dense cracks appeared all over the rocks on its body.

Then, it shattered with a boom!

[Killed Level 45 Black Rock Monster, EXP +1,350,000]

Level 40 monsters provided more EXP than those below Level 40.

It's just that their numbers are far too few.

"The monsters here seem to have the trait of dual physical and elemental damage reduction."

"I wonder how effective my Damage Curse will be."

Two monsters, with a huge level gap.

This also confirmed the chaos and disorder within the Ancient Battlefield.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

"Human!"

A cold laugh suddenly rang out from the air.

Lin Moyu looked up and saw an eight-armed Abyssal Blade Demon hovering in the air.

Chapter 221 Encountering a Dragon Race Team, Alien Races, Kill

He had killed Abyssal Blade Demons before, and more than one.

But he had never engaged one in a head-on battle; he had always just camped at the door and blown them up.

The Abyssal Blade Demon bared its fangs, its eight arms resembling eight giant blades.

Accompanied by the unique light of the Ancient Battlefield, it was filled with a bloodthirsty aura.

[Abyssal Blade Demon]

[Level: 43]

[Strength: 20,000]

[Agility: 20,000]

[Spirit: 20,000]

[Constitution: 15,000]

[Skill: Blade Dance]

[Trait: Light element defense reduced by 50%, dark element damage reduced by 50%, Fast!]

Looking at its stats, the total is 75,000, comparable to the Black Rock Monster.

But without the dual physical and elemental damage reduction, it is actually a bit weaker than the Black Rock Monster.

In Lin Moyu's eyes, the Abyssal Blade Demon was very weak.

Apart from being able to fly, it was useless.

The Abyssal Blade Demon saw Lin Moyu's level and chuckled, "A Level 30 little guy actually dares to come to the Ancient Battlefield."

"I didn't expect my luck to be so good; I can have a feast today!"

"My strategy is sound—just searching along the edge of the battlefield. Most of the little guys new to the battlefield will be at the edge."

Lin Moyu said nothing. 'Didn't this guy see that I just killed a Black Rock Monster?'

If it had seen, it should have turned and fled.

Yet here it was, spouting nonsense.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"

This was simply courting death.

Seeing that Lin Moyu didn't speak and didn't run away, it assumed Lin Moyu was scared silly.

"Haha, scared to death, aren't you? Sweet human flesh, here I come!"

It roared excitedly and flew rapidly toward Lin Moyu.

Suddenly, it noticed the corners of Lin Moyu's mouth curling up slightly.

There was no fear in his eyes, but rather a hint of mockery.

Suddenly, its instinct told it that there was danger.

It was too late!

With a hum, its body suddenly felt heavy, as if some special thing had been added to it.

Wisps of red light descended, and it saw a red sword-shaped pattern appear above its head.

And the sword seemed to be dripping blood.

"What is this?"

It couldn't understand for a moment.

Immediately after, it heard a boom.

Its consciousness was extinguished, and its massive corpse fell heavily in front of Lin Moyu.

Lin Moyu had detonated the Black Rock Monster's corpse.

Before detonating it, he had first applied a Damage Curse to the Abyssal Blade Demon!

Damage Curse increases the damage taken by 10 times.

Combined with Level 4 Corpse Explosion, it deals 750% of the corpse's HP as damage.

The Black Rock Monster's 30,000 Constitution and super-strong vitality performed exceptionally well with the Corpse Explosion skill.

The Abyssal Blade Demon, which was grinning a second ago, was blown to death the next.

[Killed Level 43 Abyssal Blade Demon, EXP +1,720,000, Military Merit +1,000]

The military badge emitted a pure white light, expressing the joy of gaining military merit.

Not bad!

Killing Abyssal Demons not only provides more EXP than Ancient Battlefield monsters, but also grants military merit.

If he could fight his way into the Abyss in the future, the rewards would surely be immense.

The closer to the center, the more monsters there are.
