Chapter 108: That

The sigil paper thrown in produced a strong reaction, startling everyone.

"Fubentan Tance Fu!"

Someone suddenly shouted in surprise.

The Fubentan Tance Fu is a special tool used to detect information inside an instance.

By using the Fubentan Tance Fu, one can view the number of teams at each difficulty within the instance and whether there are casualties.

It is said that advanced Fubentan Tance Fu can even communicate between inside and outside the instance, transmitting information.

The person now is using only a basic Fubentan Tance Fu, which can only see basic information.

In the light, the information from inside the instance became visible.

Normal Difficulty: one team, four people.

Nightmare Difficulty: two teams, totaling twelve people.

Hell Difficulty: only one team, only one person.

Someone exclaimed, "Did he really enter Hell Difficulty?"

"This isn't a joke, he actually entered Hell Difficulty."

"Is he coming to die?"

"Doesn't he know what Hell Difficulty means?"

The Shadow Transformation Nation user of the detection sigil couldn't help but chuckle, "It seems the Shenlong Empire folks plan to solo the Hell Difficulty, truly eye‑opening."

The other Shenlong Empire people also cast dissatisfied looks.

The foreigners' mockery was unabashed.

Earlier, the Laobing Qishi who had invited Jiang Chen drew his Long Sword, ready to fight.

"Do you want to cause trouble!"

The Long Sword emitted a chill, flashing with golden light; it was a Gold‑Tier Weapon.

Anyone able to use Gold‑Tier Equipment must be at least Level 30.

All of the veteran's gear, including armor, helmet, gloves, boots, and accessories, were Gold‑Tier.

His teammates were the same, a full set of Gold.

Gold equipment, showing a very high combat level.

The team's tacit coordination and rich combat experience made them exceptionally strong.

Such a team, with proper coordination, can fully handle enemies stronger than they are.

Others began to understand why the veteran dared to invite Jiang Chen.

Their strength and coordination were enough to handle any sudden situation.

The Shadow Transformation Nation people's faces all changed; evidently they also knew the veteran's team's strength.

This team is already considered a top team here; few can match them.

The other Shadow Transformation Nation people all simultaneously turned their heads, as if they didn't recognize the previous Shadow Transformation person.

That Shadow Transformation person suddenly changed tone, laughing apologetically, "I was just kidding, just kidding."

The veteran snorted coldly, "Open your eyes wider, the tiny Shadow Transformation Nation dares to provoke my Shenlong, are you courting death?"

A hint of anger flickered in the Shadow Transformation people's eyes, but they dared not retort.

He feared that if he said another word, the veteran's Long Sword would swing down.

The veteran sheathed his Long Sword and withdrew, a hint of regret in his eyes.

"Too young, what a pity."

Jiang Chen is too young; being this young and reaching here surely means he has extraordinary talent.

Yet he would die in the instance because of arrogance and ignorance; indeed, it's somewhat regrettable.

It's not just him; several Shenlong Empire people also felt sorry for Jiang Chen.

A Hell-level Dungeon, how could one possibly solo it.

Inside the instance, Jiang Chen saw a mountain.

On the mountain stood a structure resembling a fortress.

A wide road lay ahead, leading straight to the fortress atop the mountain.

The instance is named "Dragon Clan Frontline Outpost", and that fortress should be the outpost.

The road is long, continuously uphill, straight—

leading to the outpost within the mountain.

He felt the oppressive atmosphere from the Hell Dungeon.

It is a very peculiar feeling, completely different from the Nightmare Dungeon.

It's as if something is being restrained.

"Before, it seems there was a similar feeling."

Jiang Chen found it strange; this sense of restriction was not the first he had felt.

He recalled having a similar feeling in the Battle Space.

He quickly checked the storage space and found it could no longer be opened.

That means he cannot use potions, nor can he use a Teleport Stone to leave the instance.

To leave the instance, aside from the current starting point.

Only the Dungeon Exit that appears after killing the BOSS remains.

In other words, when danger arises, he cannot escape.

"Cannot use storage space means no supplies."

"You can't escape at any time; you must always leave yourself a way out."

"So this is the Hell Dungeon."

"The terrifying monsters' strength can also be astonishing."

Jiang Chen pondered the difference between Hell-level Dungeon and Nightmare-level Dungeon.

A hazy glow stretched three long shadows into Jiang Chen's view; three monsters lined up and walked along the road from not far away.

They wore armor, bore long spears, and had sharp horns on their heads.

They indeed bore some semblance of the Dragon Race.

But in size and appearance they differ far too much.

The giant dragons Jiang Chen had seen in biology textbooks were easily dozens to hundreds of meters tall.

Whereas the so‑called Dragon Race here is only a little over three meters tall.

Compared with real giant dragons, they're nothing but a tiny speck.

Even from a distance, the three monsters spotted Jiang Chen.

They let out two howls and charged toward Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's mind flickered, Skeleton

Warrior, Skeleton Mage appeared en masse.

Skeleton Warriors leapt out like lightning, swiftly surrounding them with three inner and three outer layers.

Skeleton Mages cast skills, a variety of spells rained down.

The three monsters shrieked, sweeping their long spears across the Skeleton Warriors, producing a clanging sound.

Detection Technique intermingled with the spells, landing on the dungeon monsters.

"Longzu Changqiangbing (Hell-level Elite Monster)"

"Level: 30"

"Strength: 5000"

"Agility: 6000"

"Spirit: 4000"

"Constitution: 6000"

"Skill: Pike Sweep"

Seeing the stats, Jiang Chen couldn't help but mutter a quiet "goodness".

These attributes already surpass those of monsters in Large-scale Dungeon.

They exceed the attributes of Super-Enhanced Elite Monsters.

Comparable to the boss in Nightmare-level Dungeon.

Is this the Hell-level difficulty?

It's really hard.

A normal team entering would probably be persuaded to retreat by these three monsters.

No wonder it requires a 12‑person team, and even then victory isn't guaranteed.

Although the stats are strong, they still fall short compared to Skeleton Warriors.

Moreover, there are as many as 140 Skeleton Warriors.

The Long Spear of the Longzu Changqiangbing suddenly glowed red.

Skill: Pike Sweep!

The three Longzu Changqiangbing used the skill simultaneously.

The skill formed a fan‑shaped strike, perfectly covering all the Skeleton Warriors encircling them.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of blows rang on without end.

All the hit Skeleton Warriors halted at once.

Stun!

Jiang Chen suddenly realized that these Skeleton Warriors had entered a stunned state.

This is the effect of the Longzu Changqiangbing's skill, the same principle as a knock‑up.

Taking advantage of the Skeleton Warriors' stun,

they attacked swiftly, the clanging of metal never ceasing.

Unfortunately the Skeleton Warriors' constitution is terrifyingly high, making their attacks feel like a light rub.

The damage dealt to the Skeleton Warriors is not high.

Jiang Chen can imagine, if it were another team.

If a Knight is stunned and the healer's cure is delayed, the consequences are easy to picture.

They attack the Skeleton Warriors but cannot break out of the encirclement, becoming targets for the Skeleton Mage.

The Skeleton Mage's skills rain down like droplets, each spell inflicting massive damage.

They continue attacking while roaring incessantly.

A few seconds later, the three Longzu Changqiangbing finally fell amid the spells.

"Killed Level 30 Longzu Changqiangbing, Experience +556482"

"Obtained Dragon Race Hide"

The experience is decent; Jiang Chen is fairly satisfied.

After all, killing other monsters and killing Hell-level Dragon Race monsters requires roughly the same amount of effort.

Higher experience is naturally better.

The Skeleton Warrior's stun effect lasted a full 20 seconds before wearing off.

Jiang Chen wrote down the number.

During the 20 seconds of stun, the Skeleton Warrior is just a target.

This problem must be prevented.

If there are more Dragon Monsters, surrounding the Skeleton Warrior within two seconds would also be dangerous.

Moreover, he just tried it and couldn't recall a Skeleton Warrior that is currently stunned.

Hell-level Dungeon is far harder than Nightmare-level Dungeon.

Not to mention Nightmare-level Dungeon, even in a Large-scale Dungeon he just barrels through.

The first time he ran into something that required caution.

He silently cast Bone Armor on himself again, first ensuring safety.

The structure of this Instance is simple: a single path from start to finish.

On both sides of the road.

are small Forests that are not very dense.

In the Forest, one can see many Longzu Changqiangbing resting.

Jiang Chen's arrival caught their attention.

A single Longzu Changqiangbing shouted and charged forward.

The Skeleton Warrior met it head‑on.

The Skeleton Warrior leapt up, slashed once, attracted the Longzu Changqiangbing's attention, and then began running toward the Forest.

Jiang Chen chose the oldest tactic, which is also the most practical.

Pull the monsters, mass kill.

The Skeleton Warrior ran into the Forest, drawing more Longzu Changqiangbing.

Jiang Chen watched from afar, a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

This wave can earn quite a bit again.

Suddenly, the few Skeleton Warriors that had run into the Forest to pull monsters all stopped at once.

Immediately, a flood of information was transmitted.

Those Skeleton Warriors were taking massive attacks, and the damage was spiking.

Attempting to recall them, they found it impossible.

Jiang Chen quickly rushed forward with the Skeleton Warrior.

He saw those Skeleton Warriors being surrounded by Longzu Changqiangbing.

Clearly already stunned.

A transparent Wind Shackles wound around them, rendering the Skeleton Warriors immobile.

Wind Shackles!

It's a mage's skill.

Scanning with his eyes, Jiang Chen saw several Dragon Monsters still standing in a corner of the Forest.

Those Dragon Monsters each held massive staffs.

Dragon Mage!

He didn't expect that among these Dragons there were also many mage‑type monsters!
