Chapter 55

This time, the Skeleton Warriors easily caught the giant python.

The broadswords in their hands fell frantically, hacking fiercely at the giant python's scales.

Then, their skills erupted, dealing even greater damage to the giant python.

Blood splattered, and scales shattered.

The giant python shrieked repeatedly.

"Is this a Curse?" Jiang Taotao recognized the red pattern on the giant python's head at a glance.

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."

A Necromancer was not just a Summoner, but also a mage.

Having lost its speed advantage, the giant python could only engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Skeleton Warriors.

Skill: Death Wrap.

The skill was activated, and the python's body coiled around several Skeleton Warriors.

The Skeleton Warriors were squeezed violently, emitting cracking sounds.

It was a hair-raising sound to hear.

However, the Skeleton Warriors were too sturdy; although the sound was terrifying, they were actually completely fine.

Furthermore, the coiled Skeleton Warriors didn't stop swinging their swords at all.

They continued to hack at the giant python, strike after strike.

Unable to bear it, the giant python released the Skeleton Warriors and began spitting venom.

The cave instantly became incredibly foul-smelling, making one want to vomit.

When the Skeleton Warriors were splashed with the venom, Lin Moyu sensed that they suffered some damage, but it still wasn't very serious.

With balanced four-dimensional stats, no sense of pain, and no fear, the Skeleton Warriors were near-perfect.

The giant python tried every method, yet it was still helpless against the Skeleton Warriors.

Moreover, with the Curse on its body, even its greatest advantage—its speed—was rendered useless.

After two minutes of struggle, the giant python crashed to the ground.

Resentment lingered in its eyes.

[Killed Level 23 Mermaid Queen's Pet Snake, EXP +50,000]

[Obtained Silver-grade armor, Snakeskin Armor.]

[Obtained Intermediate Monster Core.]

Jiang Taotao's mouth twitched slightly, somewhat in disbelief, "Just like that?"

"It's done."

Lin Moyu said as he leapt down, landing steadily after using the cave wall to break his fall.

Jiang Taotao and the others were still in a daze, unable to react for a moment.

Ning Yiyi smiled radiantly; the stronger Lin Moyu was, the happier she became.

"Stop dazing off, let's go."

With that, she leapt down, landing as lightly as a butterfly.

It was much more elegant than Lin Moyu's landing.

Jiang Taotao and the others finally snapped out of it and jumped down one after another.

Passing through the cave, a vast expanse of blue came into view.

Ahead was a magnificent palace.

The Mermaid Queen's palace.

All the foul odor vanished without a trace here.

Instead, a faint, delicate fragrance lingered in the air.

The entire environment had completely changed, becoming clean and tidy.

From where they stood to the palace gates, squads of guards were patrolling.

Each patrol squad consisted of three merfolk soldiers.

They wore armor and held tridents, looking very formidable.

No one used the Detection Spell, as using it would draw their attention.

These soldier-like merfolk monsters were not far from each other; any carelessness would pull a large crowd.

"1, 2, 3…"

"Goodness, there are 60 patrol squads in total, a whopping 180 merfolk monsters."

Ning Yiyi counted them up and stuck out her tongue; the number was a bit terrifying.

Jiang Taotao added, "And by the looks of it, they are all Enhanced Elite monsters."

Dealing with even one such monster was difficult, and dealing with three at the same time was almost the limit.

Based on Jiang Taotao's experience, they would target three monsters in a corner, pulling and clearing them out little by little.

Gradually clearing their way through.

It might be time-consuming and laborious, but it was safer this way.

Ning Yiyi looked at Lin Moyu, "So many monsters, what should we do?"

Lin Moyu was actually delighted to see so many monsters.

The more monsters, the better.

"It's simple."

As soon as he finished speaking, twenty Skeleton Warriors rushed out.

The sudden appearance of the Skeleton Warriors instantly attracted the attention of the merfolk soldiers.

Squad after squad of soldiers chased after the Skeleton Warriors.

Pulling monsters?

Does he want to lead so many monsters away?

That is indeed not a bad idea.

While the Skeleton Warriors attracted their attention, Lin Moyu's Detection Spell followed.

[Merfolk Elite Soldier (Enhanced Elite Monster)]

[Level: 22]

[Strength: 2,200]

[Agility: 1,400]

[Spirit: 1,000]

[Constitution: 2,400]

[Skill: Stunning Sweep]

Having clearly seen the stats of the Merfolk Elite Soldiers, he felt reassured.

Soon, all 180 Merfolk Elite Soldiers were pulled together by the Skeleton Warriors.

Then, the Skeleton Warriors ran straight toward Lin Moyu's position, bringing the monsters along with them.

Jiang Taotao's hair stood on end. What was Lin Moyu doing…

The Skeleton Warriors stopped sixty meters away from Lin Moyu, abruptly turning around to unleash their skills.

The Merfolk Elite Soldiers also unleashed their skills at the same time.

The tridents in their hands swept forward with glowing light.

Skill: Berserk Strike

Skill: Stunning Sweep

The two skills collided, and the light of the skills soared into the sky, as brilliant as fireworks.

The stats of the Skeleton Warriors were too high, especially when they unleashed their skills; their stats exceeded those of the Merfolk Elite Soldiers by several times.

In the clash of skills, the Skeleton Warriors won overwhelmingly.

A Merfolk Elite Soldier fell to the ground.

"Cover your ears," Lin Moyu said to Ning Yiyi.

"Oh." Ning Yiyi quickly covered her ears.

Jiang Taotao and the others hadn't yet realized what was happening when a deafening explosion went off, nearly knocking them over.

Following that were several more loud explosions.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

After several consecutive thunderous blasts, everything returned to silence.

Jiang Taotao and the others were already dazed by the screen-flooding EXP notifications.

"This…"

"My god, what on earth just happened?"

"How can this be? How did he do it…"

"What skill is this? A massive explosion? How is it so powerful?"

Not a single Merfolk Elite Soldier survived.

They harvested a massive amount of EXP and materials.

This was the first time Jiang Taotao and the others experienced the Charm of a screen-flooding EXP feed.

All of them appeared exceptionally excited.

The gates of the Mermaid Queen's palace also rumbled open amidst the explosions.

Chapter 69: Completing the Trial, Never Party Up Again

The gates of the Mermaid Queen's palace opened.

A strange aura swept out.

A deep blue light enveloped the space.

Appearing along with the light was the Mermaid Queen.

Noble, elegant, and beautiful.

Although she did not belong to the human race, it did not hinder their appreciation of her beauty.

"So beautiful."

Ning Yiyi's eyes became misty, and her pupils lost focus.

She actually began walking toward the Mermaid Queen unconsciously.

Lin Moyu grabbed her and pulled her back.

Not only Ning Yiyi, but Jiang Taotao was also affected.

Lin Moyu, Miao Yu, and Duan Gao remained unaffected.

Miao Yu cried out in alarm, "It's a Charm spell."

As she spoke, she quickly cast a skill, and several beams of light fell upon everyone.

Skill: Clarity.

Ning Yiyi snapped out of it, "What happened to me?"
