Chapter 120: Your Power Is So Weak, Why Keep Pretending to Be Better?

After a few hours of hard work, the Hell Difficulty instance was finally cleared; I can only say Jiang Chen was just too fast.

After the second instance clear, Hong Jishi's mission was already mostly completed.

He has already collected enough Dragon Clan Horns, exceeding the mission's requirement.

Dragon Clan Essence Blood already totals eight portions, and Dragon Clan Hearts seven portions; one more run will be enough.

Dragon Clan Crystal Cores are four; I need five, Lin Caier needs one, so another run will certainly suffice.

Jiang Chen originally planned to leave after completing the mission, but now he has changed his mind.

The Hell Difficulty "Dragon Clan Frontline Outpost" instance offers generous experience rewards, good equipment drops, and higher experience than normal instances, making it an ideal grinding spot.

Although he can't farm with a huge mob, he can solo‑kill and handle it, and the efficiency isn't low.

Moreover, he and Lin Caier need to complete the Hell Outpost set, and its attributes make him very excited.

The two will soon need that set, so gathering it early prevents trouble later.

Lin Caier especially loves the Hell Outpost Dagger in her hand; although she can't use it yet, just looking at it already satisfies her.

The dagger is extremely exquisite, its slightly curved blade bearing a graceful arc.

It also has attributes that surpass top‑tier Gold Weapons.

Lin Caier likes it more and more as she looks.

"Really, give it to me?"

Jiang Chen also handed her a Dragon Clan Crystal Core, saying, "Here's this as well."

Lin Caier gratefully took the crystal core, saying, "Thanks."

Jiang Chen suggested, "Let's go out and rest, then come back to farm later."

This time Jiang Chen's farming proficiency rose sharply, taking only six

hours; the speed was much faster than before.

And he chatted happily with Lin Caier all the way, feeling neither bored nor fatigued.

Outside the instance, Abyssal Demon Dogs barked everywhere, and fierce battles raged on.

The number of Abyssal Demon Dogs had increased greatly; the Dungeon Exit was surrounded, and anyone emerging would be attacked.

Many people have already been bitten to death by Abyssal Demon Dogs, and more people are injured.

A suppressing atmosphere enveloped the whole area.

Professionals of the Shenlong Empire gathered, fully resisting the Abyssal Demon Dog assaults.

They formed squads, creating a solid defensive line, while healers continuously used Skills to heal.

Wu Lingdong's squad became the backbone; they wore the Hell Outpost Set, and thanks to its set attributes, killing Abyssal Demon Dogs was very smooth.

"Good thing we have the Outpost Set; otherwise it would be dangerous now."

Wu Lingdong felt relieved to have the Hell Outpost Set, because right after exiting the instance they were attacked, and everyone in the squad was injured.

Yang Qin kept using Healing Skills while constantly replenishing potions.

In such intense combat, her stamina was quickly drained and she had to keep recovering.

Yang Qin anxiously said, "We can't keep going like this; we must break out."

They were already surrounded by over five hundred Abyssal Demon Dogs; without breaking out, they might be trapped here.

"Useless."

At that moment, the archer in the squad suddenly spoke.

The archer glanced at the sky: "There's an Abyss Demon in the air; it won't let us go."

The mist in the sky spread, and he used Eagle Eye to see further

more.

Yang Qin, anxious, thought, "What do we do then?"

Wu Lingdong said, "Hold on, hold on until Junior Jiang emerges; his skill is the bane of Abyssal monsters, and once he appears, these Abyssal Demon Dogs will be no match."

Everyone thought of Jiang Chen's terrifying Group Attack Skill.

A few booming blasts, and this place can be cleared cleanly.

Yang Qin knows the only current plan is to hold the line; only by persisting is there hope.

Abyssal Demon Dogs are nothing; the key is that Abyss Demon in the sky.

That's what gives them a headache.

At this moment, a flash of light before the instance, and someone appeared again.

The Abyss Demon in the sky swept a cold gaze over, slightly disappointed.

"It's not them; there's no aura of my child."

"Since that's the case, then eat them."

The teleportation of those inside the instance hadn't finished, and Abyssal Demon Dogs pounced, beginning a frenzy of biting.

Suddenly a scream rang out.

Ye Jinrong had just emerged from the instance, hadn't steadied himself, and before his vision cleared he heard a comrade's scream.

"What's happening!"

Ye Jinrong shouted angrily.

The Aura at his feet instantly changed.

The original white Aura vanished, replaced by a wave‑like floating Flame Aura.

After he altered his Aura, the same Aura appeared beneath the feet of everyone in the squad.

This is the effect of the Holy Light Knight Aura: teammates within the Skill's range can share its effect.

Skill: Resistance Aura.

Aura appeared, and the Deep Shallow Demon Dog that was snarling was instantly knocked back.

A half‑meter zone in front of each person became a forbidden area; the Abyssal Demon Dogs could not approach.

This is the function of the Aura.

With an Aura on them, Ye Jinrong ignored the Abyss Demon

Dogs, and began to observe the surroundings.

"How are there so many Abyssal Demon Dogs?"

They were startled in secret, having never seen so many Abyssal Demon Dogs; at least five or six hundred.

Two teammates were bitten by Abyssal Demon Dogs, and the party's healer was using a Skill to treat them.

Wu Lingdong saw Ye Jinrong's group emerge from the Instance and shouted, "Watch out, there's a Demon in the sky!"

Ye Jinrong jerked his head up, darkness filled his vision, and he saw a Demon flapping its wings and swooping toward him.

Their combat awareness was extremely strong; left hand sword, right hand shield, they quickly assumed a battle stance.

The Demon also grasped a Wolf Fang Club bristling with spikes and swung it fiercely.

Ye Jinrong seemed very confident in their Aura, showing no fear, and said in a deep voice, "Useless, you cannot break through my Aura."

The Abyss Demon paid no heed, smiling grimly, "Die!"

As the attack came, Ye Jinrong's expression changed dramatically.

Their Resistance Aura was ineffective.

With a bang, the Wolf Fang Club struck the Shield.

Ye Jinrong was blasted completely backward, landing on the ground.

The party's healer, quick‑eyed and swift‑handed, had already cast a Healing Technique on them the moment Ye Jinrong was about to hit the ground.

Ye Jinrong lay on the ground, coughing heavily and spitting blood.

Their face bore an expression of horror.

The blow was so heavy it almost killed them outright.

Their Shield seemed of no use at all.

It could not block anything.

The Aura was the same; even the all‑testing all‑spirit Resistance Aura failed.

Wu Lingdong covered his head and said, "Pretending to be skillful, but it turns out to be a weak chicken."

Yang Qin also nodded, "Really, so useless."

"With such weak strength, why pretend to be better."

Abyss Demon appeared,

Countless Detection Techniques fell upon it.

As a result, each showed a look of despair.

Level 36!

It is many levels higher than they are; how can they fight it?

Moreover, the Abyss Demon is already famous for its strength.

Even foes of the same level are hard to beat, let alone one so many levels higher.

Wu Lingdong also used a Detection Technique, murmuring, "This is troublesome; I now hope Junior Jiang doesn't come out, wait until they leave before we emerge."

The Abyss Demon flapped its wings, circling in the air, cold‑blooded and blood‑thirsty, its voice grim: "Tsk tsk, Holy Light Knight, Mythic Tier Profession."

"Being able to kill a Holy Light Knight, that's a big profit."

At this moment, someone in Ye Jinrong's party took out an item and activated it.

A beam of light rose straight into the sky and exploded there.

It was dazzling beyond compare; even from several hundred li away it could be seen.

"Rescue Signal has already been sent; everyone hold on, someone will come to rescue us soon," Ye Jinrong shouted loudly.

The Abyss Demon clicked its tongue and said, "Too late."

The Instance Entrance lit up at that moment, and more people emerged.

The Abyss Demon had timed this moment perfectly, leading its demon dogs to slaughter everyone off‑guard at the Instance Doorway.
