Chapter 67

"Try the ceiling again!"

Jiang Li looked up at the ceiling.

Silently, he moved onto the ceiling, while the skeleton soldiers arrived beneath his feet.

"Awesome!"

Jiang Li couldn't help but exclaim.

He truly didn't expect Shadow Stealth to be capable of this degree; whether underground, in the sky, or on walls, wherever an invisible presence existed, Shadow Stealth could easily reach!

Utilizing such a trait.

When facing certain hard-to-reach locations, it might serve an unexpected purpose!

"And..."

"It can also attach itself within shadows!"

Jiang Li looked down.

He tapped his foot, moved down along the wall, and quickly arrived beneath a skeleton soldier.

More accurately... within the skeleton soldier's shadow!

"Huff!"

Jiang Li tried extending his hand, grabbed the skeleton soldier's ankle, and the skeleton soldier immediately fell to the ground; Jiang Li then attempted to drag it into the Shadow World but failed.

"Alright, indeed can't exploit a bug..."

Jiang Li regretfully let go.

He had originally wanted to try dragging the skeleton soldier into the Shadow World; now it seemed that was not feasible.

"Experiments finished,"

"Time to act."

Jiang Li quickly refocused his thoughts.

He cast one last glance at the skeleton soldiers spinning in place, then dove straight toward the exit.

"Whoosh!"

Jiang Li vanished into the portal.

A vast hall appeared before his eyes once more, everywhere still filled with a bone-white style.

【Ding!】

【You have entered the Second Layer!】

"Clack clack!"

This time.

Several undead monsters emerged from the center as well, and compared to the layer above, the monsters' strength was clearly greater, including three- and four-level Skeleton Archers and Skeleton Warriors.

"Clack clack..."

However.

The revived skeleton monsters, seeing the empty room, were utterly puzzled.

They had clearly sensed the enemy's arrival, yet how could they see nothing?

Jiang Li, hidden within the underground shadows, did not stop for a moment and rushed straight toward the next layer.

And while Jiang Li ascended layer by layer without obstruction.

Others were furiously killing monsters.

At this moment.

In another room.

"Steel-Fleshed Bones!"

The knight Lu Feichen first cast a status skill on himself, his body glowing with a burst of light; then, holding a large shield, he charged forward with a ramming strike.

"Boom!!!"

He crashed headlong into a three-meter-tall Skeleton Giant, knocking it off balance.

"Good chance!"

"Watch my Frost Arrow!!"

The archer's eyes lit up.

He immediately drew a blue arrow from his back, the arrowhead faintly emitting cold mist; as he nocked the arrow and drew the bowstring, it shot forth with a swift "whoosh," striking the Skeleton Giant's ankle precisely.

"Huff!"

The arrowhead suddenly exploded.

A thick wave of intense cold mist then spread like smoke, freezing the Skeleton Giant's legs in place.

"Roar!"

The Skeleton Giant, already leaning from the impact and intending to take a step forward to stabilize, had its feet frozen; its massive body crashed face-first to the ground, colliding with the floor with a "Boom" sound.

"Fire Dragon Spell!!"

Seeing this,

Xiao Ning'er, wearing a red robe in the rear, quickly waved the staff; the long-charged Fire Dragon Spell was instantly released. A blazing dragon composed of flames roared forth, its extreme heat even distorting the surrounding air...

"Roar!!"

"Boom!!"

The fire dragon struck the Skeleton Giant hard.

A bright red critical hit number immediately popped up, instantly clearing the health bar above its head.

"Finally killed it!"

Seeing this,

everyone felt a surge of joy.

Xiao Ning'er's face turned slightly red, her eyes filled with barely suppressed excitement.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations on successfully defeating: Elite Skeleton Giant!】

【Congratulations on successfully obtaining: 3 points!】

"Three points..."

"Our team's total points are now forty-nine, ranking third."

Afterwards, the few of them gathered together.

During their rest,

they checked the current team rankings in the Bone Castle, and their hearts immediately filled with joy.

"Third place..."

"We are only three points behind the second place; not much for first place either."

"If we push a bit harder, maybe we have a chance to surpass them!"

The knight Lu Feichen's face was flushed with excitement.

He clenched his fist, cheering everyone on.

Meanwhile, the other archer and priest frowned tightly.

"What exactly is Jiang Li doing..."

"We've been in the Bone Castle for over half an hour, yet he hasn't killed a single monster." The archer opened the team's points ranking; a huge zero behind Jiang Li's name was very conspicuous.

"If he were a support class, it would be one thing."

"But as a warrior class, how can he have not a single point? Could he be hiding?"

"Or does he think, seeing how hard we're working, that he can just ride us to victory?"

The others were also somewhat puzzled.

Even if Jiang Li had just killed two or three monsters, it would have been enough for them to surpass the second place.

But instead,

in the half hour since they split up,

there had been no movement from Jiang Li's side at all.

If the party panel hadn't shown the other person as online, they almost would have thought Jiang Li was already dead or had quit the dungeon.
