Chapter 69: Gargoyle, the Final Boss… the Lich!

"However."

"Looking at my points, there's been no movement…"

"Won't they be very puzzled?"

Looking at the empty number behind his name, Jiang Li couldn't help but think this way.

"But that won't last long."

"No, they should be even more confused…"

Jiang Li shook his head.

Because.

While the other teams were still on average at the Third or Fourth Layer, he had already reached the Seventh Layer.

"Roar!!"

And in front of Jiang Li.

Were two giant undead tigers.

Their bodies were gaunt, covered everywhere with rotting, festering wounds, looking extremely horrifying.

…

【Monster: Undead Tiger】

【Level: Lv. 7】

【Grade: Elite!】

【Attack Power: 420×2!】

【HP: 9500×2!】

【Skills: Ferocious Assault, Tiger's Roar, Poison Claw】

【Description: Loyal guardians of the Bone Castle. Having become undead, their limbs are stiff, but this grants them extremely high constitution. They feel no pain and are incomparably ferocious.】

…

"Two elite monsters on the Seventh Layer already, and they're level seven at that…"

Jiang Li clicked his tongue inwardly.

Two level-seven elite monsters.

Such strength — probably no single team could take them down…

But Jiang Li's eyes swept to the side.

He saw the notice at the front of the hall…

…

【Starting from the Seventh Layer, rooms are unique; all teams that arrive will gather together.】

…

"I see…"

"The Seventh Layer is no longer an independent room — it's like switching from a regional channel to a public channel."

"If multiple teams cooperate, there should be hope of slaying these two Undead Tigers."

Jiang Li suddenly understood.

This way, the various teams have a chance to cooperate, but correspondingly… the competition is greater. After all, everyone wants to get the points for the final kill.

"However…"

"None of my business."

Jiang Li glanced at the two Undead Tigers roaring in place, and headed to the next layer without hesitation.

Passing through the great door.

He smoothly arrived at the Eighth Layer.

At a glance, he saw the monster in the center of the hall… a black-gray stone statue.

Its appearance was humanoid, but with a hideous face and a pair of bone wings on its back.

"Is that a gargoyle?!"

Jiang Li's eyelid twitched violently.

He hadn't expected a boss-level powerful monster to appear on the Eighth Layer!

…

【Monster: Gargoyle】

【Level: Lv. 8】

【Grade: Boss!】

【Attack Power: 550×3!】

【HP: 10000×3!】

【Skills: Protective Stone Skin, Petrification Ray, Ultrasonic Sense, Crushing Claw】

【Description: The boss monster of the Bone Castle. It possesses extremely high defense against both logic and magic, wields a Petrification Ray, and is immensely powerful — but fears the power of light!】

…

"Crack crack!"

Just as Jiang Li was checking the Gargoyle's information.

The Gargoyle, which had been a statue, suddenly began to tremble, then flapped its wings and took flight.

"Roar!"

The demon-looking Gargoyle hovered in midair and let out an angry roar.

Vaguely.

An invisible sound wave spread outward.

At that moment, Jiang Li's face changed.

Because… he felt that this sound wave had swept right across his body.

Sure enough.

The next instant.

The gargoyle shifted its gaze, a pair of crimson eyes fixed dead on the shadow on the ground.

Seeing this.

Jiang Li became even more certain that this gargoyle had truly discovered his location!

"A gargoyle can actually see through Shadow Escape…"
