Chapter 25: The Strongest Group Attack Skill, an Absolute One‑Shot Kill

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, having never expected the instance's boss to flee.

"Did it become sentient?"

The Black Wolf King, amid its howls, hurriedly fled into the passage, constantly emitting a wailing cry, as if calling for something.

This scene left Jiang Chen a bit bewildered, so he did not act rashly.

A wolf's howl echoed from the passage, as if answering its summons.

Jiang Chen keenly sensed something was wrong, did not send the Skeleton Warrior to chase, but ordered the Skeleton Warrior to retreat to his side.

Creak! Creak!

In the dim mine, the sound of a rusted iron door being pushed open rang out.

Only then did Jiang Chen notice the iron doors around him, easy to miss without careful eyes.

The iron doors on both sides of the passage opened to the Black Wolf King's roar, and blood‑thirsty Mountain Ferocious Wolves emerged one by one.

Jiang Chen cast Detection Technique on their heads.

"Mountain Ferocious Wolf"

"Level: 14"

"Strength: 550"

"Agility: 550"

"Spirit: 200"

"Constitution: 1000"

"Skill: Bite"

It turned out the Black Wolf King's fierce roar was meant to summon its subordinates.

Although these Mountain Ferocious Wolves' attributes are not as strong as the Goblin Mine Guard in the mine.

Yet they are numerous, at least a hundred of them.

Such a massive number is enough to send a chill down one's spine.

Hundreds of wolves attacking together—just imagining that scene already feels extremely troublesome.

Jiang Chen was not afraid, because despite their numbers, the Mountain Ferocious Wolves' attributes were insufficient to threaten his Skeleton Warrior.

However, a question occurred to him: how did other parties deal with so many Mountain Ferocious Wolves?

It's not that all professions are like his

in such an illogical way.

He did not believe a team of five different professions could easily handle such a massive pack of Mountain Ferocious Wolves.

He surveyed the surroundings, noticed the Mine Passage behind him, and suddenly understood the crux of the problem.

His mind suddenly cleared, comprehending everything.

The exit of the Mine Passage was not spacious, fitting at most one person at a time.

As long as a Knight or a Tank held the passage, the healer provided support, and the mage used a Group Attack Skill,

the time cost would be minimal, and the Mountain Ferocious Wolves could be cleared completely.

Jiang Chen's thinking was correct; other parties also employed this strategy.

But he didn't know that other parties faced far fewer Mountain Ferocious Wolves, usually only a dozen or so.

He had assumed that anyone who cleared this area would encounter such a large wolf pack.

Quickly clearing the preceding monsters triggered a mechanism, causing a surge of Mountain Ferocious Wolves in this segment.

This was related to his clearing all the monsters in the Mine Passage.

It was Jiang Chen's first entry into the Death Mine Dungeon, and he knew nothing about this mechanism.

His books did not mention this situation either.

Even if he had known, he would certainly persist in clearing every monster, for he could not miss out on so much experience.

How could one watch experience go by without earning it?

As for Difficulty? For him, there was no Difficulty at all.

From entering the instance to now, he has only been commanding in his mind, without shedding a single drop of sweat.

In others' eyes, these are ferocious, powerful Mountain Ferocious Wolves.

To him, these Mountain Ferocious Wolves are just

a bunch of Experience Babies.

The Skeleton Warrior formed a defensive line, keeping Jiang Chen firmly protected in the middle.

The Mountain Ferocious Wolves charged, repeatedly striking the Skeleton Warriors, tearing them with sharp claws.

Their fangs were extremely sharp, the screeching sound constantly scraping against the Skeleton Warriors…

Yet their attack power was insufficient to cause serious damage to the Skeleton Warrior.

When all the Mountain Ferocious Wolves arrived, Jiang Chen's mind shifted…

He grouped the nearby Skeleton Warriors into squads, about four or five Skeleton Warriors per group.

Five Skeletons simultaneously attacked a single Mountain Ferocious Wolf, blood splattered, and two seconds later the wolf let out a howl and fell.

With such clear division of labor, efficiency was extremely high!

"Kill Level‑14 Mountain Ferocious Wolf, Experience +2800"

Along with the kill prompt, some Wolf Hide and various valuable materials fell to the ground, emitting a faint glow.

A graceful curve lifted at Jiang Chen's mouth, and the light in his palm flickered.

Corpse Explosion Technique began to activate!

With a booming crash, the Mountain Ferocious Wolf's corpse exploded.

Deal damage equal to 10% of a Mountain Ferocious Wolf's HP.

Explosion radius: 1 meter.

Then multiplied by 20 through talent.

Within a 20‑meter radius centered on the corpse, all enemies take damage equal to 200% of the corpse's HP.

That is, these Mountain Ferocious Wolves suffer damage equal to 200% of their own HP.

No Mountain Ferocious Wolf can withstand it.

Instant kill!

Undoubtedly an instant kill.

"Kill a Level 14 Mountain Ferocious Wolf, Experience +2800"

"Kill a Level 14 Mountain Ferocious Wolf, Experience +2800"

"Kill a Level 14 Mountain Ferocious Wolf, Experience +2800"

"

In an instant, the notification popped up like a flood of messages.

Experience shot upward like a rocket launch.

The Experience Bar on the panel surged upward with a rapid whoosh.

Jiang Chen estimated that the hundreds of Mountain Ferocious Wolves contributed a sizable amount of experience.

One attack yields 40% of the experience. That speed is astonishingly fast.

Jiang Chen also clicked his tongue in amazement; the Corpse Explosion Skill is terrifyingly powerful.

No comment on whether it can compare to the mages' Forbidden Curses.

At least at the current level, this skill is invincible.

At this moment, the Black Wolf King limped back, its eyes filled with terror.

How could his subordinates be wiped out in an instant?

He called out his henchmen, fully assuming that Jiang Chen must already have been ripped into fragments...

What was that explosion just now?

With its intelligence, it couldn't figure it out.

Coincidentally, there were several Mountain Ferocious Wolf corpses at its feet.

"Treat everyone equally, you try it too."

Jiang Chen's gaze turned cold, a faint light flickering in his palm.

Corpse Explosion!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three consecutive booms, three corpses detonated simultaneously.

A scream rang out as the Mountain Wolf King was drenched in blood.

Most of its body had lost flesh, leaving only white bones.

Some parts even had broken bones.

Howl!

A massive pain surged, and the Black Wolf King could no longer hold on.

It let out a final wail.

Its huge body shook a few times before crashing to the ground.

It was already gravely wounded and could not endure such violent damage.

"Kill a Level 15 Black Wolf King, Experience +15000"

"Obtain Wolf King Fang"

"Obtain Low-level Monster Core"

"Only 15000 experience, very low cost‑performance."

Black Wolf King

With such high strength, only 15000 experience; the cost‑performance is indeed low.

That's roughly the experience of five Mountain Ferocious Wolves.

However, for boss‑level monsters, the pursuit isn't experience but the items they drop.

Wolf King Fang is a material for crafting Weapons, and its price on the Exchange is not low.

Monster Crystal Core can be used to craft jewelry and amplify attributes, and its value is likewise high.

Monster Crystal Core only drops from monsters above boss level, and it's not guaranteed.

This keeps the price of Monster Crystal Core elevated.

In short, this can be said to be a plentiful harvest!
