Chapter 157: Are you kidding, the difficulty wasn

Just upon entering the Instance, an astonishing scene unfolded before their eyes.

Only to see the dark Abyssal Power surge out, bringing a horde of monsters.

These monsters looked indistinguishable from Abyss Demons, brimming with ferocious evil and cruelty.

The demons flew through the sky or raced across the ground; some rode massive beasts, appearing extremely ferocious.

The Human profession stood on the opposite side, ready to meet the challenge from the Abyss.

High-level Professionals above Level 70 flew in the air, while more professioners fought on the ground.

Jiang Chen noticed that these professioners did not look normal, as if they were phantoms, giving a surreal impression.

The same unusual condition also appeared on the Abyss Demons, making both sides seem somewhat unreal.

The battle erupted fiercely in a realm where black and white intersected.

Among the Abyss Demons, most possessed flight, and even those on the ground could take to the air at any moment.

This situation put the Human Race at a disadvantage, as they could not chase the flying demons.

Suddenly, a mage raised his staff and shouted, "Forbidden Void!"

In an instant, all demons, including the Human professioners, fell from the sky, leaving a vacant expanse above.

Jiang Chen realized that these professioners were not real beings, but illusory phantoms.

Then the mage raised his staff and cast the Forbidden Curse: "Elemental Disaster!"

In that moment, the entire Instance World fell into chaos, the Elemental Riot spiraled out of control.

Hundreds of Human Race mages raised their staffs, simultaneously unleashing various Forbidden Curses, directly targeting the demons.

The demons suffered heavy damage, a scene of chaos.

At this

time, the Demon King appeared.

The Demon King was colossal, like an ancient demon god; wherever he stood, he towered like a mountain, tall and ferocious.

The Demon King flapped his wings, releasing terrifying Elemental Power, sweeping across the Human Army.

The battle was extremely intense, Forbidden Curses colliding with Elemental Power, dazzling light flashing throughout the Instance.

Soon after, the light vanished, the Human Race and demons disappeared, and the whole world turned into a land of Elemental Chaos amid Black and White Chaos.

An Elemental Spirit appeared in this chaotic world.

Jiang Chen finally understood; the scene just now was showing them a great battle that once took place here, perhaps this is the origin of the Elemental Plain.

Of course, this is only a microcosm of that great war.

The clash of Forbidden Curses and Elemental forces filled the entire Instance World with chaos.

Lin Caier stared, feeling dazzled, "Is this the ancient great war?"

Jiang Chen whispered, "It's very likely."

At this moment, the barriers of the two passages were lifted simultaneously, and now they truly had to make a choice.

Jiang Chen chose the path leading to the night without hesitation.

This place was tainted by Abyss Energy, and he was more interested in this side.

They followed the road down the mountain, traveling safely until the Mountain Foot, where they finally saw a group of monsters resembling Abyss Demons.

Scanning the view, they realized they seemed to have arrived at a plain, with no buildings or any cover.

At the deepest part of the plain stood a colossal statue towering a hundred meters.

That was the endpoint where the Instance BOSS resided.

It is a three-part, special yet simple Instance.

As long as

the monsters belonging to the Abyss side are cleared, the Instance is considered cleared.

Skeleton Warriors have fully recovered after rest.

130 Skeleton Warriors and 100 Skeleton Mages were all released.

Facing the Hell Difficulty Level 30 Dungeon, Jiang Chen dared not be careless.

The Hell Difficulty Instance's challenge is so high it is beyond imagination.

Generally, only parties of twelve fully equipped members who have reached th Level would attempt such an Instance.

Someone like him, at Level 26 and still able to Solo Run, is the only one.

The first monster's appearance was somewhat like an Abyss Wolf Demon.

Only its size was far larger than any Jiang Chen had seen, perched on a Blue Wolf, over five meters tall.

The Blue Wolf had wings and could take flight at any moment.

Skeleton Warriors brandished great blades and charged, while Skeleton Mages simultaneously unleashed skills.

A massive wave of spells descended from the sky, engulfing it.

A roar sounded, and the monster burst forward bearing the spell attack.

"Didn't even die?"

The focused fire from 100 Skeleton Mages could wound even a Level 40 High-level Demon severely.

Yet the monster before them was only slightly injured.

Detection Technique intermingled with the spells, transmitting information.

"Battlefield Wolf Demon (Hell-level Elite Monster)"

"Level: 34"

"Power: 15000"

"Agility: 10000"

Spirit: 10000

Physique: 15000

Trait: Affected by Abyss Energy, defense increased, vitality increased

Seeing the information from Detection Technique, Jiang Chen understood.

The monsters here have a close relationship with the Abyss; one could say they exist because of Abyss Energy.

Although the level is suppressed, the attributes are also not as high as 40

Level High-level Demon.

However, its trait is very strong.

Defense and vitality are both increased, giving it greater combat power.

Thus, even a Mage Focus Fire from 100 Skeleton Mages can only wound it, not kill it instantly.

It swings its three‑meter‑long Blade onto the Skeleton Warrior, producing a metallic clash.

The Skeleton Warrior merely pauses slightly, not retreating half a step.

Given the Skeleton Warrior's super‑strong attributes, as long as the opponent's attack lacks special effects, there is nothing to fear.

No matter how high your defense or how strong your vitality, it's just a matter of cutting a few more times.

The Skeleton Warriors at the front erupt their skills.

The Blade, bearing Red Light, lands on it, skin split and flesh torn.

No spray of blood appears; the wounded spot emits Black Qi, which dissipates into the air.

The Battlefield Wolf Demon feels no pain at all, completely ignoring attacks that hit it.

If it were a Demon, it would have felt pain long ago and fled.

Ten Skeleton Warriors simultaneously unleash a round of skills, and the Skeleton Mage's second round of Mage Focus Fire arrives again.

This time it could not endure.

The Battlefield Wolf Demon emits a strange sound, like a balloon being popped.

It is enveloped in Black Qi, vanishing without a trace.

Kill a Level 34 Battlefield Wolf Demon, Experience +680000

The experience is high, much higher than that of a Hell‑Difficulty Outpost Dungeon.

Compared to Abyss Demons of the same level, it is also double.

After all, it's a Hell‑Difficulty Level 30 Dungeon; such experience is expected.

Jiang Chen frowned.

"No corpse..."

Just like the monsters on the Elemental Plain, there is no corpse, and the Corpse Explosion Skill is limited.

Lin Caier also frowned, "No

Corpse, then it can't explode."

Jiang Chen hummed, confirming it.

But the next second Lin Caier smiled, "Then just push each one straight through."

Settling for the next best, since we can't explode them, just hit each one.

The moment we stepped into this area, the world was completely shrouded in darkness.

Like a world of night, there is no light, and visibility becomes terrible.

All light that enters here is devoured by the darkness.

Now the only light source is the Soul Fire leaping within the skeletons' skulls.

Jiang Chen's hand ignites Soul Burn, illuminating a modest area.

A flash of brilliance appears in Lin Caier's eyes; the Assassin skill has been activated.

Assassins are spirits of the night, and night is her best companion.

In Lin Caier's view, darkness is even more friendly.

"So many monsters."

Lin Caier let out a light sigh.

She sees a single monster hidden in the darkness.

Jiang Chen, unable to see, says, "You point, I strike."

"Alright!"

Lin Caier responded excitedly.

Since uncovering the Dragon Assassin, she has always been a decorative presence, never expecting to be useful here again.

Lin Caier pinpointed the exact location of the monster, and Jiang Chen immediately sent the Skeleton Warrior to charge into battle.

Although clearing a single foe isn't as exhilarating as a group kill, it is tidy and safer.

Jiang Chen is also at ease, needing no commands.

As long as Lin Caier indicates the monster's location, he lets the skeleton go on a rampage.

The monsters here are countless, densely packed.

Sometimes several monsters appear at once, which is only a slight extra effort.

Jiang Chen has already noticed that here the

monsters are merely tougher, with stronger vitality, nothing else special.

Even though it's Hell Difficulty, this place is much simpler than the Dragon Clan Frontline Outpost instance.

Jiang Chen pushes forward horizontally, and his experience rises continuously.

When they were halfway there, Jiang Chen's experience had already reached 99%, and Lin Caier was emanating White Light, having just completed an upgrade.

Lin Caier couldn't help but say, "Is this Hell Difficulty? Too easy, right."

"If I hadn't specifically confirmed the Difficulty when I came in, I would have really thought it was a mistake, that the Difficulty wasn't selected correctly…"
