Chapter 229: Jiang Li Found Another Big Windfall Again

Everyone was stunned.

They stared blankly at everything.

Only when the system prompt appeared in everyone's minds did they snap out of it.

"Ah, the Great Swordsman is actually dead!"

"Heavens, how could this be? Didn't they say Skeleton Soldiers weren't strong? How could someone die???"

"No way, are Iron Skeleton Soldiers this strong?"

"I'd say it's not that the Iron Skeleton Soldiers are strong, but rather that the Great Swordsman was stupid and just unlucky!! Didn't you just see? His sword got stuck between the Skeleton Soldier's ribs!"

Everyone realized.

So that was it.

"Be careful, everyone. No matter what, these are Level 10 monsters. Don't get careless!!"

【Ding—Notice to all Reincarnators: Reincarnator Jiang Li has killed an Iron Skeleton Soldier and earned a First-Class Promotion Point!!】

【Ding—Notice to all Reincarnators: Reincarnator Jiang Li has killed an Iron Skeleton Soldier and earned a First-Class Promotion Point!!】

"..."

Everyone suddenly panicked.

Forming groups of three and five, they charged into the Skeleton Soldiers to fight.

At first, everyone was cautious.

But they found that these Iron Skeleton Soldiers were nothing special against their group tactics.

So some people became careless again.

A fat man chopped one Skeleton Soldier to pieces with a single slash, then took a bite of a chicken leg he was holding.

"What? So weak? It seems this great lord is destined to be a Reincarnator with a rating above Iron!"

Then another Skeleton Soldier charged straight at him.

The fat man calmly tore off the last piece of meat, muttered something, and swung his greatsword at it.

But—suddenly, that Skeleton Soldier grew huge, reaching a full three meters in size, and the great iron sword in its hand grew larger too.

Its speed was four or five times faster than a normal Skeleton Soldier. Before the fat man could react, the Skeleton Soldier used its greatsword like a hammer and smashed down fiercely.

"Splat!"

The fat man instantly turned into a pile of tomatoes and bloody bones on the ground.

Even in death, he never understood what had gone wrong.

By then, someone finally noticed something was off.

"Something's wrong!"

"Something's wrong, everyone be careful!"

"Among these Skeleton Soldiers, there are some with extremely powerful strength mixed in!"

"These Skeleton Soldiers look just like normal ones, but their attack power is at least five or six times higher than normal Skeleton Soldiers—and their specific strength cannot be detected. Everyone be careful!"

The female mage who specialized in detection shouted out.

Jiang Li felt a bit of regret in his heart.

However, the show still had to go on.

He suddenly screamed: "What the hell? Why are some of these Skeleton Soldiers strong and others weak? This isn't fun! How am I supposed to grind experience?"

While shouting and screaming, Jiang Li disappeared from everyone's sight, diving straight into the only small grove within the Dungeon World.

"Cunning!"

That was everyone's assessment of Jiang Li, except for Li Mengying and the other girls.

Inside the forest, the Skeleton Soldiers' movements were greatly hindered. Even if a Skeleton Soldier chased Jiang Li into the forest, it would be counter-killed.

After Jiang Li rushed into the forest, he kept looking for the BOSS.

"Strange, logically this shouldn't be happening?"

"It's just the first layer of the Reincarnation Dungeon, and the space isn't large. It should be easy to find where the BOSS is?"

Under his Eyes of Direct Death, the death lines and death points on all the Skeleton Monsters were clear and distinct.

But killing the Skeleton Monsters was not his goal.

His goal was to kill the Iron BOSS within the Dungeon World.

There are two rules for the Reincarnation Dungeon.

One rule is to kill layer by layer: slay the Iron BOSS, then slay the Bronze, then after slaying the Bronze slay the Silver, progressing layer by layer until you can no longer kill the BOSS. At that point, abandoning the quest will grant you an evaluation based on the last BOSS you killed, and you will also earn more comprehensive points!!

However, since there is only one BOSS per layer of the Reincarnation Dungeon, it has become the target that everyone entering the Dungeon World who needs to reincarnate must seek out and kill.

The second method is to ignore the first-layer Dungeon World BOSS and go directly to the next layer of the Reincarnation Dungeon until you find a layer suitable for your abilities, then kill the corresponding World BOSS. This is more direct, but the total points earned will be much lower.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Jiang Li previously killed so many Iron Skeleton Soldiers and earned quite a few points; it was actually completely meaningless.

If he could find and kill the Iron-level Reincarnation BOSS immediately, it would be equivalent to killing all the Skeleton Soldiers in the entire first layer of the Dungeon World at once, and earning all their points.

But now, all he could see were Skeleton Soldiers, densely packed, with no sign of the BOSS.

Suddenly, Jiang Li realized the key: when entering the Dungeon World, Edith had once said a crucial sentence.

"The first-layer Dungeon World BOSS has ten Skeleton Guards."

"The second-layer Dungeon World BOSS has one hundred and ten Guards."

And so on, until the final layer Dungeon World BOSS possesses "one thousand and ten Skeleton Guards."

It's just that the strength of the Skeleton Guards differs between different Dungeon Worlds.

Jiang Li focused his vision with both eyes, observing all the Skeleton Soldiers in the forest, their death lines and death points.

Upon doing so, he actually observed something.

His gaze fell upon a black iron skeleton soldier holding a scythe.

The most special thing about this skeleton soldier was that the death lines on his body were far fewer than those of ordinary skeleton soldiers.

Generally, any powerful living creature has death lines or death points on its body; ordinary unrefined humans have over three hundred death points and seven hundred twenty death lines, yet this situation eases as humans cultivate and elevate themselves to greater power, causing death lines and death points to diminish.

The legendary Immortals and Gods possess not even a single death point.

Observing more closely, Jiang Li noticed the helmet of the scythe skeleton soldier faintly shimmering with a copper-green hue.

Jiang Li's heart stirred. "This clearly distinguishes it from the helmets of other black iron skeleton soldiers."

"The helmets of other black iron skeleton soldiers are pure black iron, yet this skeleton soldier's helmet is actually an alloy of bronze and black iron; without close inspection, one simply cannot tell!"

A sudden realization dawned in Jiang Li's heart.

"It must be this way!"

To verify his guess, the long blade in Jiang Li's hand transformed into natural wind.

Angel wings spread, and Jiang Li released the elemental arrow from his hand.

The elemental arrow, carrying a whistling sound, shot through the air toward the Bronze Death Scythe Skeleton Soldier; wherever the arrow passed, everything froze, causing the surrounding ordinary skeleton soldiers to move sluggishly.

Joy surged in Jiang Li's heart. "Could this be the effect of Ice Soul? Integrated into an ordinary strike?"

"Does any casual strike I make now carry the effect of freezing and slowing?"

Within a hundred paces, the black iron skeleton soldiers near the natural wind arrow, some even directly frozen into ice statues, stood motionless in place.

"Pfft!"

The Bronze Death Scythe Skeleton Soldier, having no time to react, had its head shatter, and the wraith fire within its skull scattered into the air.

This meant the utter death of the undead creature.

And it happened in that very instant.

【Ding—Notification to all Reincarnators: Reincarnator Jiang Li has slain the Bronze Death Scythe Skeleton Soldier! Gain thirty Reincarnation Points!!】

【The Bronze Death Scythe is one of the guards of the Black Iron Skeleton King and possesses the ability to summon ordinary black iron skeleton soldiers independently!】

【Reminder: Among all Reincarnators present, only by slaying seven or more Bronze Death Scythe Skeleton Soldiers, either alone or together, can the ultimate Black Iron Skeleton King of this floor be summoned!!】

Everyone was stunned.

"Why him and not me?" An assassin's dagger fell to the ground from his hand.

"My heavens. Jiang Li's strength is nothing special, yet his luck is heaven-defying; I am also a One-Star Warrior, so why is the difference so vast?"
