Chapter 549: Special Mode, Organized! Racing Against Time!

Boom!!

A blood-red spiked club swept forward, triggering mass damage.

The Tier 9 peak non-dead water element, beneath the spiked club, burst like fireworks in the night sky.

"Ding! You defeated the Level 200 Forbidden Elite Monster 【Non-Dead Water Element】, gained 1.22 million experience points!"

"Ding! You triggered the special title 【Godslayer】 effect, Agility +800!"

"Ding! You triggered the 【Killing Field】 special effect, all attributes +180!"

"Ding! …"

"Ding! You defeated the Level 200 Forbidden Elite Monster 【Non-Dead Water Element】, gained 1.22 million experience points!"

"Ding! …"

…

"Hahaha, awesome!!"

Luo Chenyu was overjoyed.

The altered soul absorption could indeed suppress the non-dead water element's guaranteed resurrection.

Then, his mission completion speed would increase by half!!

"Kill!"

"Zero Two Zero," Luo Chenyu smiled faintly.

Ten corrupted puppets surged forward, beginning a frenzy of slaughter.

All kinds of skills erupted across the lake's surface.

Raising wave after wave of chaos.

Grinding monsters was not boring to Luo Chenyu.

If he could have this many monsters to grind, he could grind until the end of time.

But then again.

After reaching Level 105, the leveling speed dropped noticeably, even describable as snail-paced.

After more than two hours of fierce battle.

All the non-dead water elements within the Non-Dead Water Array were cleared by him and his ten corrupted puppets.

No unexpected incidents occurred.

At least, up to now, Luo Chenyu's shield had stacked to fifteen trillion!!

His normal attacks dealt hundreds of billions to over a trillion damage.

And they were AoE.

If only the non-dead water elements appeared faster, his battle time could be halved again.

Finally, a massive water column erupted from the lake's center.

The final guardian of the Non-Dead Water Array appeared.

A vast, azure water element.

Like the previous King of Non-Dead Wood Puppets, it was Tier 10, merely with a different name.

Now, Luo Chenyu's shield value was even more powerful.

Even the Tier 10 Water Spirit King had no chance to resist under his Sky-Shattering Hammer—within mere minutes, it became a corpse beneath the hammer.

"Too bad… still no drop, and can't be turned into a corrupted puppet!"

Luo Chenyu sighed helplessly.

Then.

He turned to the second ring's reward.

【Non-Dead Water Spirit Pearl】!

Its attributes resembled the 【Non-Dead Wood Spirit Pearl】, yet differed slightly.

In addition.

A Tier 10 special skill book had dropped.

【Summon: Non-Dead Water Spirit King】!

Moreover, it was a universal-type summoning skill book, with no learning restrictions.

Meaning, he could use it too.

But…

Luo Chenyu had no intention of using it—not even considering letting 【Steel Shield】 devour it to boost its integration progress!

He already had another idea in mind.

After his experiences in the Divine War Zone…

He understood one truth.

Personal strength, indeed important.

But… to survive the five-hundred-year deadline, he must cultivate teammates, even raise the strength of all professions.

United, they stand strong—that was the key!

So…

This skill book, he had already planned its use.

Use it to trick the little girl… cough… best way to boost his teammates' strength.

His awareness had quietly risen.
