Chapter 321: Never Try to Pick Up Bargains, or Great Disaster Will Follow

~7 min read 1,241 words

In just a single exchange.

A massive number of Golden Skeletons were killed or injured.

To everyone watching, this simply wasn't a battle between equals.

At the same time, some high-level Classers secretly rejoiced; the Cyclops King's splash damage skill was utterly ruthless, killing Buddhas who blocked its path and slaughtering humans who stood in its way, offering no advantage even to coordinated group tactics.

Facing such a Cyclops King, fighting alone made no difference compared to fighting as a group.

"Hmm—there's also an ethereal attack; interesting!"

The Cyclops noticed that some skeletons would turn ethereal the moment it launched an attack.

Its body speed suddenly increased, the great blade in its hand swinging faster, causing vast swathes of skeletons to collapse into piles of bones.

However, only a few seconds later, spectators watching from afar cried out in shock.

"Ah—can these Golden Skeletons actually resurrect?"

"Brother, your information is too outdated; these Golden Skeletons descended from the first floor as divine soldiers and inherently possess the ability to resurrect."

"But I imagine this resurrection ability must have a limit on the number of uses."

Anyone from the Changrendou Society would think this way.

Because Golden Skeleton monsters cleared dungeons too quickly, and furthermore, while the Golden Skeletons remained alive, Uncle Tian had died.

Therefore, some Classers in the second-floor dungeon fled immediately.

Those who hadn't fled but followed behind, along with those who hadn't ascended yet, meant that people on the third floor were somewhat uninformed.

The Cyclops's attack acceleration skill meant that numerous skeleton soldiers contacting it were chopped into fine pieces before they even had a chance to react.

"Ah—I'm dead; my skeleton sister is still waiting for me at home!"

A skeleton soldier let out a miserable shriek, then scattered into pieces across the ground.

"Great Master Cyclops King, spare me; I have an 800-year-old mother above and a 300-year-old son below... perhaps your son and mine are brothers; ah—don't kill me!!!"

The death throes of the skeletons made the onlookers nearby wear expressions of utter bewilderment...

Wasn't this a bit too farcical?

Even ordinary skeleton soldiers, or ghosts, poisonous insects, any dungeon monster, would emit strange death cries before dying.

This was practically common knowledge.

Yet now, these skeletons, clearly facing death, what were they saying? Skeleton sister?

However, very soon, everyone realized something was wrong.

The scene was chaotic, with skeletons constantly dying.

But—

The total number of skeletons had not decreased at all...

Instead, the Cyclops King itself had been struck by several blades; although the health lost was pitifully small, it had indeed been worn down by these skeletons.

"This..."

"Die!"

The Cyclops immediately entered a berserk state, doubling all its stats for a short period; a single sweeping slash killed dozens of Golden Skeletons.

"Avatar Outside the Body!"

The surviving skeletons shouted loudly; vast amounts of golden mist materialized out of thin air, and hordes of Golden Skeletons, like an army besieging a city, rushed toward the Cyclops King.

The Cyclops felt somewhat mentally exhausted; glancing around, its heart trembled with shock.

It had been killing for nearly half an hour, yet the number of skeleton soldiers had not decreased at all...

Meanwhile, Jiang Li, hiding in the darkness, frantically drank Spirit Potions.

He felt secretly delighted.

"I didn't expect Summoners to be this enjoyable; if the enemy cannot locate me and I have potions, I dare say even encountering a level 50 Classer would give them a headache!! Hahaha."

However, he was not arrogant, for he knew that some high-level individuals already possessed advanced detection skills.

If they cast an advanced detection skill, Jiang Li would likely have nowhere to hide and would inevitably have to flee for his life.

But right now, this Cyclops clearly could not detect Jiang Li.

Moreover, a six-star Summoner was unprecedented and likely to remain unmatched; he had synthesized a full set of Summoner equipment, meaning his summoned beasts consumed very little spirit energy when casting skills.

Drinking one Spirit Potion was enough to allow the Golden Skeletons to resurrect twice, and Jiang Li possessed nearly ten thousand such potions...

All looted previously by the Golden Skeletons...

Another half hour passed.

The spectators watching from afar were completely numb.

The Golden Skeletons died and resurrected, resurrected and died, died and resurrected... an infinite loop.

Every time they died, those Golden Skeletons still spouted shamelessly cheeky words.

In contrast, the Cyclops King had already lost a quarter of its health.

"Dammit..."

The Cyclops King's single eye erupted with petrification light, instantly petrifying around a hundred skeletons before turning them to dust.

"Brothers, charge!"

"Wipe him out so we can go home and play with our skeleton sisters."

"I want to play Fight the Landlord..."

"I want to try experiencing life with a human female Mage..."

While shouting such ferocious words, their movements were not slow; fearing neither death nor life, abandoning all defense, they rushed forward one after another toward the Cyclops King.

Another half hour passed.

The Cyclops King's health remained at only a quarter of its original amount.

"Damn it, damn it, why is this happening?"

The Cyclops King swung his blade horizontally once more.

But after experiencing death countless times, these Golden Skeletons had learned to be smart; whenever they saw the Cyclops attack, most of them immediately ceased their own attacks and their bodies turned translucent.

A single horizontal sweep only turned two or three skeleton monsters into golden mist.

"I just realized now..."

"Realized what?"

The two were chatting; although they were speaking, their eyes never left the struggle between the Golden Skeletons and the Cyclops King.

"I realized—the true master of this Bone Castle might not be the Cyclops King... Bone, bone, isn't that referring to skeletons?"

"And ordinary skeleton soldiers certainly cannot be the BOSS, but these Golden Skeletons..."

It was self-evident.

Yet this result made everyone suck in a breath of cold air.

"With this Golden Skeleton's resurrection Undead Magic, and so many skills, how is this a level 20 dungeon?"

"Even if a level 30 or even a second-class job changer came, I'm afraid it wouldn't work!!"

Just at this moment, the job changers who had experienced everything on the second floor arrived.

"Level 30? Do you know Uncle Tian? Uncle Tian is a second-class job changer at level 35, and he might still die at the hands of these Golden Skeletons..."

"What..."

"Is it really so?"

"But, how is that possible? It must be a rumor. You must know that a master like Uncle Tian, even if he couldn't win, escaping would be very easy; how could he die at the hands of these Golden Skeletons! The tactics of these Golden Skeletons have already been exhausted just now; apart from being a bit tricky, they lack powerful attack methods!"

"You don't know—Uncle Tian fought these Golden Skeletons up there before. From what Uncle Tian said, the mastermind behind these Golden Skeletons might be an Undead Magic user..."

"Hiss—Undead Magic user? No wonder, that makes sense!!"

Just as everyone was discussing.

The Cyclops King was already down to a sliver of health.

All the Golden Skeletons slowed down visibly in their fighting speed.

Everyone realized something.

They believed the Golden Skeletons had also reached their limit.

But with the Cyclops King already down to a sliver of health, could they perhaps pick up the scraps???

Seeing someone show intent to act, others hurriedly tried to dissuade them!!!
