Chapter 407: Ice Explosion Blooms

The words of the Diamond Ice Crystal Skeleton caused the De Mu's face to change instantly.

In this life, having lived this long, the greatest shadow was skeletons; previously in the Bone Castle, a group of Golden Skeletons had robbed him two or three times.

Under the protection of family experts, revisiting the old place, he screamed repeatedly whenever he encountered various skeleton-type monsters.

"Ah!"

"Skeletons!"

"It's them, absolutely no mistake!"

De Mu jumped back repeatedly in fright; a proper priest completely lost his noble image, approaching like a panicked woman encountering two bare-chested burly men.

The other four Second-Transcendence guards of the first squad were somewhat bewildered.

"Young Master De Mu, these skeletons have average stats; although they carry cold qi—their number is slightly large, but they are not to be feared! So Young Master need not..."

"What do you know?"

De Mu felt he was going mad.

Golden Skeleton Soldiers were his nightmare.

"These skeletons are definitely the upgraded version of those Golden Skeletons from the Bone Castle last time!" De Mu said.

The four Second-Transcendence guards looked at each other.

They also frowned slightly.

During the Bone Castle incident last time, the matter of the Golden Skeletons was spread with supernatural flair; even rumors claimed that the Dracula family's 'Uncle Tian' died under the siege of Golden Skeletons.

The four Second-Transcendence guards exchanged a glance; two remained in the rear to protect De Mu.

The other two stepped directly in front of the Diamond Ice Crystal Skeleton.

Number One stepped out, blew on the hand axe he held, and that small diamond axe shimmered with seven-colored light.

"Do you intend to block our path? Or do you intend to attack us?" said Skeleton Number One.

The Boss had already given orders.

Anyone blocking the path was to be killed.

But Number One still wanted to confirm.

The two Second-Transcendence experts of the Dracula family looked at each other, both somewhat confused about what was happening.

Other monsters would attack without a word.

Why was this one asking questions?

So the two made a decision: separating in different directions, they ran directly toward Skeleton Number One.

In the eyes of the two Second-Transcendence humans, only Skeleton Number One posed danger; his stats were clearly higher than the other skeletons, so they identified Skeleton Number One as the leader of these skeletons.

Yet Number One seemed unmoved.

The other skeletons also seemed not to have reacted; they were still discussing the skeleton sister.

Jiang Li, hidden in the shadows, focused his gaze on the two of them.

"So fast! Although my attack power, health, and spirit, these three dimensions are higher than a Second-Transcendence person's, the only difference between me and a Second-Transcendence person is the Second-Transcendence character's skills!"

Generally, after a character achieves First-Transcendence, the skills they have previously learned—not skills attached to weapons or equipment, but the skills truly possessed by the character—can be upgraded through special dungeon quests.

For example—Jiang Li's Shadow-Stealth skill, the Draw-and-Slash skill, a Chaos skill, and the Death-Seeing Magic Eye skill. These four skills, which are not equipment-based skills, can be upgraded through special dungeon quests, also called Skill Reincarnation.

At the same time, the special skills brought by the First-Transcendence class-change quest are directly First-Transcendence skills; for instance, the Storm skill that Jiang Li possesses is a First-Transcendence special skill; special skills used in conjunction with special classes have special bonus effects.

And the two Second-Transcendence characters have already Second-Transcended their possessed skills; thus, the amplification of basic skills they possess, such as the Acceleration skill and the Berserk skill, will also increase.

The two left their original positions, creating afterimages; while in mid-air, they directly "Boom—Boom" continuously broke the sound barrier.

However—the two Second-Transcendence humans, the closer they approached the group of skeletons before them, the more alarmed they felt; powerful as they were, so close to the group of skeletons, the cold qi washed over them, even causing their movements to slow slightly; although very faint, it still shocked the two.

They could not figure it out at all—clearly this group of skeletons did nothing, so why was there this icy effect?

Skeleton Number One smiled.

"This time, let us use our own ultimate moves to let these two kids get a glimpse!"

The many skeletons chuckled strangely.

The two Second-Transcendence experts in mid-air, not understanding the situation, one drew a blade, one drew a hook, and in an instant, they slashed down.
