Chapter 240: Silver Skeleton King

Everyone reached an agreement, yet remained mutually wary between their own squads.

Warriors charged on the outer perimeter while mages cast spells within the inner circle, and healer-class professions mixed in with the mages; some used Healing Magic to attack the Bronze Skeleton Soldiers.

Others used status magic to continuously buff the outer warriors with various effects like frenzy, rage, savagery, and sustained healing.

Jiang Li noticed.

The damage dealt by those healers' Healing Magic to the Bronze Skeleton Soldiers was even greater than that of the Five Elements Mages.

Healing, Holy Light, and this type of Light magic naturally suppress undead.

Li Mengying and the others were also slaughtering skeleton soldiers, but their squad was not full.

He secretly observed everything.

"Li Mengying—accept my party invite."

Li Mengying, in the midst of the slaughter, suddenly received a private message from Jiang Li.

Private messages are person-to-person, do not appear in the public channel, and certainly do not let spectators outside the dungeon see them.

Spectators outside can see the World Chat channel and can see chats between members of the dungeon party.

But for this kind of private chat—the system did not allow outsiders to peek.

After all, it was too private; who knows what men and women might discuss...

Li Mengying didn't hesitate for a second and directly accepted Jiang Li's party invite.

Once Li Mengying's party accepted Jiang Li.

Trouble emerged.

【Notice: Li Mengying's squad, one Bronze Skeleton Soldier killed +2 evaluation points.】

【Notice: Li Mengying's squad, one Bronze Skeleton Scythe Guard killed +10 points.】

Notices of squad kills on dungeon monsters appear on the public screen.

This also made everyone know that Jiang Li was in Li Mengying's squad.

All eyes turned in unison toward the three women, their gazes searching for something.

One by one, their looks turned dangerous.

At this moment, a chaotic melee was underway; if not for the melee, these people would surely have surrounded Li Mengying's squad and forced Li Mengying to give everyone an explanation.

Why accept Jiang Li, this scavenger king, into the party.

Some even developed murderous intent toward all members of Li Mengying's squad.

After all, Zhang Zhi had previously stated that killing a Reincarnator would grant one their evaluation points.

But these people were not fools; they forcibly suppressed their killing intent.

Even if they killed members of Li Mengying's squad now, they would not gain much reward.

After all, the large amount of points Jiang Li obtained were earned by himself alone previously.

To obtain a large amount of points, one must locate Jiang Li's true position and kill him.

Li Mengying, along with Tang Qianqian and Xiao Ning'er, immediately put distance between themselves and the others.

"Big Shot Jiang Li, since you've reached the Second Layer, let's not play the coward anymore; can you show yourself? As long as you show yourself, I'll immediately acknowledge you as my big brother and follow you from now on!"

"Yes, Big Brother, Big Brother Jiang Li, after all, you are this year's top scorer in the college entrance exam, a Big Brother-level figure who single-handedly saved ten Night Elves and even liberated the Forest of Darkness; come out and meet us, let's fight the enemy together!"

"Big Brother, you're like a dragon that shows its head but never its tail, right? I know you can see the party chat on the public screen!! Always playing dirty makes people very unhappy; come out and fight with real swords and spears, or even bayonets if you like?"

Seeing Jiang Li appear in Li Mengying's party, the comment section exploded, and people began to scream wildly.

And Jiang Li? He hid in the shadows, looking at those speaking as if they were idiots.

"I won't come out; when you've beaten the final BOSS to low health, I'll just pick up the scraps!" Jiang Li said directly.

Everyone on the public screen who had been screaming at Jiang Li fell noticeably silent for a moment.

How could this person be so shameless, making scavenging sound so grand?

Immediately, someone, unable to bear the provocation, typed on the public screen: "Jiang Li, you're just a One-Star Warrior; do you really think you're someone important?"

"Isn't it just because you have a decent concealment skill that you're acting so arrogant? Dare to come out? Come out and let's clash?"

"Yes, Big Brother Jiang Li, hiding like this every day isn't very honorable, is it?"
