Chapter 162: Surrounding Momentum, Open the Killing Spree

The legendary figure Ning Wuxia, I never expected to meet them in a Hell-level Dungeon.

The two left the Instance carrying Ning Wuxia's hope.

Lin Caier sighed softly, "Senior Ning devoted their whole life to the Human Race."

Jiang Chen nodded in agreement: "It is because we the Human Race have seniors like that that we can survive the threat of the Abyss. I believe our Human Race will become stronger, and one day we will counter‑attack the Abyss, I believe!"

He said that final line silently to himself deep in his heart; Jiang Chen firmly believed it.

Jiang Chen and Lin Caier returned outside the Instance, drawing a lot of attention.

Someone remarked, "They've come out! Looks like they cleared it, impressive."

"He first solo‑ran a Hell-level Outpost Dungeon, performed excellently on the battlefield, even survived attacks from the Flame Demon King, and now has cleared the Battlefield No. 3 Instance on Hell Difficulty. I really don't know how he did it."

"His profession and talents are truly exceptional, I'm envious."

Jiang Chen's achievements have already spread throughout Battlefield No. 1; his feats are widely known among the crowd.

Among the other players on Battlefield No. 3, many had previously taken part in the battles of Battlefield No. 1; they all know Jiang Chen, and his deeds are widely recounted.

Jiang Chen met Wu Lingdong and his party, who had been waiting for him.

Earlier the two had already arranged to meet outside the Instance at the gate.

Wu Lingdong took out a skewer of grilled meat and handed it to Jiang Chen: "Here, sit down and chat with us—what's the Hell Difficulty Instance like?"

Jiang Chen said softly, "The general situation is like that, pretty much the same as a Nightmare Dungeon."

He gave a brief description of the situation inside the Instance.

He told Wu Lingdong and the others the key points.

including several places with major differences.

Upon hearing about the massive BOSS in the Hell Difficulty Instance, Wu Lingdong and the others couldn't help but swallow hard, feeling it would be very tough.

Hundreds of meters high—if during combat you were accidentally stepped on by the BOSS...

Wu Lingdong thought that if he went in, he might be half‑killed by being stepped on.

It wasn't just him; the others in the team were also a bit worried.

Then they heard there was a second BOSS later.

It can be silent, can control, and its Magic Shield is incredibly hard.

Wu Lingdong decided not to attempt this Instance any further; he laughed self‑deprecatingly, "Better to stick to Nightmare Level fights; Hell Difficulty isn't suitable for us."

Jiang Chen said softly, "If you need my help later, feel free to find me anytime."

Wu Lingdong patted Jiang Chen's shoulder, "Of course, if we need anything we'll come to you first. I believe there's no Instance you can't solo‑run."

That remark, though a bit joking, also expressed his admiration for Jiang Chen.

But he also knew that if there truly was a need, Jiang Chen would come willingly and wouldn't refuse.

Wu Lingdong suddenly asked, "Junior Jiang, do you still plan to keep solo‑running Hell Instances?"

Jiang Chen shook his head, "No more. Cai Er and I are going into Battlefield No. 3 to hunt Demons and earn Military Merit."

Ning Wuxia is no longer in the Instance, and Jiang Chen doesn't want to go back in.

Moreover, this Instance can't use Corpse Explosion; for others the experience is quite good, but for Jiang Chen it's not the best leveling Instance.

It would be better to return to the University Instance Hall and find a suitable Instance to run.

Hong Jishi assigned him the task of obtaining Elemental Crystals and Demon Crystals.

He has already completed them.

Not really.

He wasn't in a hurry to go back and submit; since he's already here, he'll kill more Demons.

Military Merit is very useful; it can be used to access official facilities.

And with higher Military Merit one can raise one's rank and unlock more permissions.

The few chatted for a while, then Jiang Chen and Lin Caier got up, ready to go hunt Demons.

They hope to encounter a Spatial Tunnel so they can continue challenging more Demons.

However, such chances are rare, because Battlefield No. 3 is relatively small and the number of Abyss Demons is limited.

By contrast, Battlefields No. 7 and No. 8 have more Demons, making hunting more efficient.

Jiang Chen decided to stay in Battlefield No. 3 to hunt Demons, because he still needs to earn Military Merit, raise his rank, and gain permissions.

This is his mission, and Military Merit is extremely important for professionals.

They hope to kill more Demons here to increase Military Merit.

After Jiang Chen left, Wu Lingdong and the others didn't rush to go.

They rested while waiting for the Instance cooldown to expire.

At their level, killing a few Man-eating Monsters is no problem, but encountering a horde of Demons would be dangerous.

So they'd rather wait here than risk their lives jokingly in Battlefield No. 3.

Most people are the same as them.

There are also some players who are waiting for the cooldown to end before entering the Instance.

These players are usually Level 38 or 39 professionals, or Level 40 High-level Professionals who have completed Second Transcendence.

But even they must be cautious, because Abyss Demons are not easy to provoke.

To become a Demon Hunter, either a team of Level 38 or 39 professionals.

Or a Level 40 High-level Professional who has completed Second Transcendence.

And it's not absolutely safe.

Teams often

are wiped out, with Level 40 High-level Professionals being killed.

This is the place where the Human Race slaughters Abyss Demons, and also where Abyss Demons have a meal.

Yang Qin watched the two disappear into the thick fog and couldn't help saying softly.

"Jiang Xuedi is really impressive, only Level 27 and can hunt Demons in Battlefield No. 3."

Wu Lingdong whispered, "Being able to Solo Run a Hell Difficulty Instance above one's level makes ordinary Demons a non‑issue."

"His Skeletons are numerous and strong, both Warriors and Mages, practically a one‑man army."

Yang Qin knew that, but sighed, "What a pity his Skeletons can't be Amplifyed; they'd be even stronger."

They had seen the previous battles; neither Prophet nor Legion Overlord could apply a status to the Skeletons.

Wu Lingdong laughed, "They're already strong enough; if they could get a status, they'd be god‑like."

"I truly feel sorry for those in the Professional Competition who are in the same bracket as Jiang Xuedi."

Jiang Chen is competing in the Level 20 to 29 bracket.

In this bracket, Jiang Chen has no opponent.

Yang Qin laughed, "Thinking of those guys, it's truly pitiful. You must not miss Jiang Xuedi's match; it will surely be spectacular."

She smiled with malicious glee.

The so‑called spectacularness is the expression on others' faces after losing to Jiang Chen.

The more Yang Qin thought about it, the funnier it seemed; she resolved to watch every one of Jiang Chen's matches, none to miss.

After eating and drinking their fill, the few closed their eyes to rest, waiting for the cooldown to end.

After a moment, a flash of light suddenly illuminated the sky.

Then a buzzing alarm sounded.

Everyone was startled awake and turned their heads together.

The light and alarm both came from not

a distant Human Base.

A few High-level Professionals ran out of the base.

"Demon incoming, prepare to fight!"

"Demon incoming, prepare to fight!"

"Demon incoming, prepare to fight!"

Deafening sounds rang across the heavens and earth.

Some stood up nervously, while others wore an indifferent expression, as if already accustomed.

"Why panic? Probably another large Space-time Portal opened nearby, detected by the base."

"Don't worry, the base guard is here; it's fine."

"At most a hundred or so Demons will come, plus a few thousand Man‑eating Monsters. With so many of us here, it's an easy fix."

"If you stay here long enough you'll get used to it; this happens often, one or two times each month."

Many professions have been mixing here for a long time and know the general situation.

They didn't feel any danger or strangeness at all; as the word spread, others also began to calm down.

Wu Lingdong drew his Knight Long Sword; it was his first encounter, so caution is paramount.

The base guards have already formed a battle formation, aimed at the direction the Demons are coming from.

In the distance, faint black mist can be seen churning violently.

"Oops!"

Yang Qin suddenly shouted.

Wu Lingdong hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Yang Qin pointed ahead, "Jiang Xuedi is heading that way."

What!

Wu Lingdong broke out in cold sweat instantly.

Even the base guards, who are High-level Professionals, have been deployed in a strict formation; one can imagine how powerful the incoming Demons are.

It is estimated that High-level Demons will be present.

Level 40 and Level 39 differ greatly, both in the heavens and on the ground.

Professionals are like that, and Demons are the same.

Jiang Chen is formidable, but if he encounters a High-level Demon—

Wu Lingdong couldn't help worrying about Jiang Chen.

Yang Qin's gaze stayed fixed ahead: "No need to worry, perhaps Jiang Xuedi changed direction and may have already missed them."

"Hope so," Wu Lingdong could only console himself.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen indeed ran into this wave of Demons.

A massive Spatial Tunnel suddenly appeared right before him.

This Spatial Tunnel was at least twice as large as the previous one they encountered.

Abyss Energy surged like black long dragons, and Battlefield No. 3 instantly filled with a multitude of Man‑eating Monsters.

Soon, countless crimson eyes emerged from the Spatial Tunnel, and many Demons rushed out one after another.

They bore a blood‑thirsty aura, traversed the Spatial Tunnel, and entered the Human World.

"Human flesh, delicious human flesh, I'm coming."

"Finally I can taste the legendary delicious human flesh."

"This demon is already famished and thirsty."

A single demon roared angrily as it descended.

But before they could even discern the appearance of the Human World, several great swords blazing with red light already struck them.

Excruciating pain surged from the swords into their brains, and they wailed continuously.

A buzzing sound rang in their ears.

Then the entire world seemed to accelerate.

The Skeleton Warrior's blade was as swift as lightning.

The elemental spell that flew in was faster than lightning.

"Why so fast?"

"Why is it so fast?"

"Where are we? Isn't this the Otherworld Battlefield?"

Under the Curse, they were the ones who slowed, not that others sped up.

All the demons' wings were chopped off, and Jiang Chen would never give them a chance to fly away.

"Hehe, I told you, we would definitely encounter a Spatial Tunnel," Lin Caier laughed ecstatically.

She had just said that they would definitely encounter a Spatial Tunnel.

Within a few minutes, the Spatial Tunnel emerged.

It appeared.

Her mouth seemed to shine, and whatever she said worked instantly.

Before the demons could surge out, the Skeleton Warrior was already prepared, encircling the Spatial Tunnel with three inner layers and three outer layers, up and down.

Close the gate and slaughter; kill as many demons as come.

The wails rose, and the first demon was chopped to death by the Skeleton Warrior.

Immediately after came a fierce explosion.

The ground before the Spatial Tunnel suddenly fell silent.

The dozen or so demons that had just surged out were all blown up dead.

"Killed Level 38 Abyss Wolf Demon, Experience +380000, Military Merit +50"

"Obtained Demon Essence Blood"

"Killed Level 37 Abyss Snake Demon, Experience +370000, Military Merit +50"

"Obtained Demon Essence Blood"

Their Military Badges glittered, adding another 800 Military Merit.

Such high-efficiency harvesting speed is incredibly satisfying.
