Chapter 24: Elite Monster in the Death Mine Cave, the Wolf King Appears

After passing through the maze-like underground mine tunnels, Jiang Chen entered the latter half of the instance.

Before him lay a huge passage a kilometer long, with rooms resembling cells on both sides, each fitted with heavy iron doors, looking like a prison.

Beast roars echoed from the rooms, reverberating in the passage, and the air was thick with a bloody, fishy stench.

In the center of the passage, a massive monster blocked their way.

The monster resembled a wolf; lying on the ground it was over one meter tall, and if it stood up its height could exceed three meters, with a body length over five meters.

Jiang Chen used Detection Technique to examine this monster.

"Black Wolf King (Elite Boss)"

"Level: 15"

"Strength: 1800"

"Agility: 1800"

"Spirit: 1000"

"Constitution: 2000"

"Skill: Roar"

This was Jiang Chen's first encounter with a boss-level monster, and moreover an elite boss.

Although its four-dimensional attributes were still inferior to those of the skeleton warriors, compared to ordinary minor monsters it was far stronger.

"If even the elite boss's attributes are this strong, then the instance's boss must be even stronger..."

"I hope it doesn't exceed the skeleton warriors, otherwise this instance might be impossible to clear."

For a nightmare-difficulty instance, this level of difficulty is normal.

Usually, those who can clear a nightmare-difficulty instance have levels definitely higher than the instance's level.

A team of five elites might have an average level between 17 and 18.

Moreover, their equipment and skills cannot be too poor, otherwise they could not possibly clear a nightmare-difficulty instance.

Like Jiang Chen, who dares to challenge a nightmare-difficulty instance alone at level 10,

such people are extremely rare in history.

Ordinary people hearing that he dares to tackle a nightmare-difficulty instance of around level 20 at just level 10 would surely think he's crazy.

The Black Wolf King was awakened from sleep by the effect of the Detection Technique.

It slowly rose to its feet, its huge body exceeding five meters in height, far surpassing Jiang Chen and the skeleton warriors.

Its blood-red eyes fixed on Jiang Chen, exuding a bloody aura that made one's blood run cold.

A terrifying sense of oppression enveloped Jiang Chen's entire body.

Jiang Chen gave the order to the skeleton army without hesitation!

"Charge!"

Fifty-six skeleton warriors surged toward the Black Wolf King like lightning.

The Black Wolf King let out a fierce roar and unleashed its skill.

This was his skill erupting—a powerful shockwave burst from its mouth, blowing away more than thirty skeleton warriors in front.

The mine walls on both sides shook violently, and countless rubble fell down.

Even Jiang Chen, standing tens of meters away, felt the shockwave, and a hint of surprise appeared on his face.

This skill is a group attack skill and also has a knock-back effect.

This is the first time he has seen skeleton warriors being knocked back.

He had thought the skeleton warriors' four-dimensional attributes were already strong enough, but he didn't expect the Black Wolf King's skill to be so ferocious.

Although the skeleton warriors were knocked back, the actual damage they suffered was not great.

They fell from the surrounding mine walls, hitting the ground with a clattering sound.

But the skeleton warriors themselves have a constitution of 3400, so this amount of damage is negligible.

Jiang Chen's face showed no worry at all, because he could feel that the skeleton warriors were merely knocked back and had not suffered sev

serious damage.

The skeleton warriors' defensive power is already very strong.

The skeleton warriors quickly got up and charged at the Black Wolf King again.

The slight cracks produced in the previous attack disappeared instantly, restoring themselves in the blink of an eye.

The soul fire remained vigorous.

"Use skill!"

Rage Power!

The skeleton warriors that were not knocked back had already rushed up to the Black Wolf King, their great blades flashing red light as they slashed forward.

Blood spurted, flesh tore, wounds deep enough to show bone.

The wolf king wailed repeatedly.

Many skeleton warriors leapt high, landing directly on the Black Wolf King, their blades glowing with red light as they activated their skills.

This scene was exactly like what Jiang Chen had seen when he changed jobs.

One or two skeleton warriors are nothing, but dozens, but dozens, hundreds, even thousands attacking together—ants can kill an elephant.

Moreover, the Black Wolf King's size is not particularly huge; facing fifty-six skeleton warriors, it cannot withstand their numbers.

Countless skeleton warriors clung to its body like ants, each one waving the axes and short swords in their hands, slashing desperately.

The skeleton warriors' attack power exceeds its own; each strike can cause considerable damage.

The Black Wolf King went mad, rolling around, its huge body continually slamming into the mine rock walls, trying to shake off the skeleton warriors on its back.

The skeleton warriors' palms gripped its flesh tightly, making them hard to shake off.

The skeleton warriors on the ground also pursued relentlessly, blade after blade striking its legs.

The big blade struck the bone, producing a metallic sound, and the Black Wolf King screamed incessantly.

Its claw struck the skeleton warrior, and the tremendous impact sent it flying.

The skeleton warrior's injury was not serious, and in the blink of an eye it ran again.

It came back.

Thus the two sides continued like a sawing battle, nonstop back-and-forth, locked in combat.

The Black Wolf King howled as it tried to bite, but its teeth shattered.

The skeleton warrior's constitution reached 3400, extremely sturdy.

"What use is a huge size? Those destined to die will still die."

Jiang Chen watched this scene, feeling moved inside.

Although the huge size brings a stronger sense of oppression, it also brings greater strength.

But at the same time it becomes its weakness.

As long as the defense is not strong enough, it cannot block the skeleton warrior's attacks.

The result is easy to imagine.

In just a few seconds, the wolf king was already on the brink of death.

Roar!

Another fierce roar.

The Black Wolf King activated its Skill for the second time.

This time it exerted its full strength.

The knockback effect of the Roar Skill was also pushed to its limit.

The shockwave swept over, finally blowing all the skeleton warriors on it away.

Even the skeleton warriors nearby were blown away together.

"The Skill's attack power is ordinary, but the knockback effect is really good."

The Black Wolf King is already at the end of its tether, unable to stir up much trouble, and will soon be torn apart by fifty-six skeleton warriors...

Jiang Chen watched the skeleton warriors fly off like scattered heavenly blossoms, his face expressionless.

Although the Skill seemed strong, in fact the skeleton warriors had not suffered much damage.

The Roar blew the skeleton warriors away, merely making them fall to the ground, with no harm done...

Indeed, those skeleton warriors, after falling to the ground, rolled with the momentum, and then each one sprang back vigorously.

They were like perpetual motion machines, tirelessly attacking and faithfully carrying out every order Jiang Chen gave.

However, a few seconds later, the situation suddenly

then changed, surprising Jiang Chen as well.

The Black Wolf King, obviously gradually losing its ability to resist, after letting out a long howl resist, after letting out a long howl with its head raised.

The Black Wolf King suddenly turned and limped away into the passage.

"It fled?"

"It couldn't win, yet it learned to flee!"
