Chapter 283: Dynamic Instances Are Not Set in Stone

The Skeleton Warriors acted as vanguard, protecting Jiang Chen and Qiao Zhixin as they entered the Demon Dragon Hall together.

Some agile Human teams quickly followed Jiang Chen as he charged into the instance.

In an instant, the number of Human Professionals outside decreased by more than half.

After Jiang Chen entered the instance, the Undead Legion also vanished.

The Human Race's numbers plummeted, leaving them at a clear disadvantage.

Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, some teams immediately made a swift retreat, pulling away from the combat zone.

Only the Abyss Demon and Dragon Race teams remained, facing off against each other, as if battle was about to ignite.

The Abyss Demon and Dragon Race teams stared at each other, the scene tense, as though war was on the verge of breaking out.

No matter how the two sides clashed, the victor of this round would be the Human Race Professional Team.

At least ten teams had just charged into the instance.

After a period of confrontation, the Abyss Demon and Dragon Race teams actually stopped at the same time, ending their standoff.

Then, both sides worked together and rushed toward the instance entrance.

For some unknown reason, neither side had actually made a move; no battle occurred throughout the entire process.

Team after team entered the instance one after another, and the remaining Humans were somewhat stunned watching this scene.

What was going on? These were hostile forces that would normally slaughter each other on sight, yet now they seemed so peaceful.

A few seconds later, the Humans also charged toward the instance.

In an instant, the area outside the instance appeared completely empty.

Only the distant anomalies silently told everyone: There are treasures here, there are precious items here, come and fight for them.

In the distance, Yi Ning hovered in mid-air, seated atop the Holy Spirit Unicorn.

She was utterly bewildered, unable to comprehend everything happening before her eyes—what on earth was going on?

The "Demon Dragon Hall" instance had always been one of the most fiercely contested instances.

The Three

Races fought in a melee, vying for the chance to enter the instance.

Every time they fought for it, by the end, blood would surely flow like a river.

Casualties among the Three Races were never light.

Not at all like now, where the area outside the instance was completely empty, and all teams had smoothly entered the instance.

She simply couldn't understand it; this world had changed too much for her to accept.

In the distance, a team of Abyss Demons came howling in.

Human Profession Teams also appeared on the ground.

Yi Ning quickly dodged away, moving a bit farther off.

She was alone, not a big target.

The newly arrived Abyss Demons, seeing the area outside the instance completely empty, thought they were the first to arrive and excitedly charged in.

The Human Professionals did the same.

Within just five minutes, Yi Ning saw at least ten more teams charge into the instance.

She estimated that this was probably the most people who had ever been inside the "Demon Dragon Hall" instance in history.

Jiang Chen and Qiao Zhixin entered the "Demon Dragon Hall" instance.

A chill, gloomy aura rushed toward them, and the temperature plummeted below freezing.

Ice spikes hung everywhere, and the ground was covered in a layer of pale blue ice.

The temperature was very low, at least around minus 50 degrees.

For Professionals, this temperature was still bearable.

Qiao Zhixin let out a small exclamation, "Lucky us, it's an Ice Demon Dragon."

Jiang Chen glanced at her; ice was everywhere—it seemed obvious without needing to be said.

The "Demon Dragon Hall" instance was very peculiar; the environment was different every time you entered.

It was somewhat similar to the Divine Selection Secret Realm.

Sometimes you encountered a Fire Demon Dragon, sometimes an Ice Demon Dragon, and there were also Demon Dragons of other elements.

According to statistics, there were over a dozen types of Demon Dragons that had appeared in the "Demon Dragon Hall" so far.

Among them, the one with the highest Difficulty was the Black

Dragon.

Something like the Ice Demon Dragon was considered relatively easy.

However, the higher the Difficulty, the greater the number of Dragon Crystals dropped.

Jiang Chen said in a low voice, "In a bit, you watch for the right moment and use the Collecting Technique."

Qiao Zhixin had already cooperated with Jiang Chen before. "Don't worry, I know what to do."

Before the two of them lay a massive Dragon Cave, a hundred meters high and fifty meters wide.

Another special feature of the "Demon Dragon Hall" instance was that there were no minor monsters.

The entire instance had only one monster, and that was the Demon Dragon.

Kill the Demon Dragon, and you could clear the instance.

Face the BOSS directly—the rules were very simple.

But actually clearing it was not easy.

Depending on the Difficulty, the attributes of the Demon Dragon within the instance would undergo earth-shattering changes.

Entering the Dragon Cave, a gust of cold wind blew in.

The wind carried a moist breath, and the ice layer on the ground instantly thickened.

The ice spikes hanging in the cave also grew considerably larger.

The Bone Armor emerged, clearly indicating that this blowing wind was aggressive.

Judging by the state of the Bone Armor, the attack power was considerable.

Qiao Zhixin's small face turned slightly pale. "It seems like its breath."

Jiang Chen asked, "Last time you entered the Demon Dragon Hall, which type of demon dragon did you encounter?"

Qiao Zhixin said, "We ran into the Poison Demon Dragon. Right at the start of the battle, everyone was poisoned. Our team had five healers, but they couldn't keep up. Plus, its poison skill was at a high level, so the healers couldn't dispel it."

"As the battle went on, the poison grew stronger and stronger."

"In the end, we had no choice but to withdraw from the Instance."

Jiang Chen asked curiously, "Didn't you prepare any Antidote?"

Qiao Zhixin said, "We did, but it was useless. The entire Dragon Cave was filled with poison everywhere. As soon as we cured one dose, we got poisoned again."

"The Antidote also has

a cooldown; you can't keep using it."

Listening to Qiao Zhixin, Jiang Chen felt it was somewhat similar to the Earth Touch Dragon God.

However, in this situation, he wasn't afraid.

The Dragon Cave was both large and deep. The two walked for twenty minutes before finally seeing the Ice Demon Dragon.

The Ice Demon Dragon lay sprawled on a huge crystal throne, its blue body radiating waves of chilling cold, freezing the entire cave.

The throne was sealed with a large amount of treasure, glittering and shining.

The ice layers around the cave were incredibly thick, clearly its handiwork.

The Ice Demon Dragon was still asleep, exhaling a puff of cold air with each breath, which blew toward them like a gale, triggering the Bone Armor.

Qiao Zhixin was right; the cold air was just its breath.

Jiang Chen sensed its aura. Although he hadn't used Detection Technique yet, he already had a rough idea in his mind.

It was roughly on par with the "Earth Touch Dragon God."

Far inferior to the "Ancient Luan Bird."

Compared to the "Ancient Earth Dragon" itself, it was like heaven and earth apart.

Having killed many BOSSes, Jiang Chen had developed his own intuition.

The Ice Demon Dragon opened its eyes and saw Jiang Chen and Qiao Zhixin.

A murderous intent gleamed in its icy pupils.

Accompanied by a high-pitched Roar, it awakened.

It stood thirty meters tall and was over fifty meters in length.

With its long tail and huge wings spread wide, it roared at Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's Detection Technique also landed on it.

"Ice Demon Dragon (Hell-level Chief)"

"Level: 56"

"Strength: 100,000"

"Agility: 60,000"

"Spirit: 120,000"

"Constitution: 160,000"

"Skills: Ice Heaven Snow Earth, Large Area Ice Freeze, Super Ice Explosion"

"Traits: Immune to Water Element damage, Elemental damage

reduced by 50%, Physical damage reduced by 50%, Curse effects greatly weakened, Vitality greatly enhanced."

Total stats of 440,000, on par with the Level 58 Earth Touch Dragon God.

A Level 56 Hell Difficulty Instance BOSS, yet its stats could surpass a Level 58 World-Class BOSS.

The difficulty of "Demon Dragon Hall" was indeed very high.

To clear it required very, very high demands on the entire team.

Hong Jishi had said back then that he was Level 45 and happened to encounter the Level 40 "Demon Dragon Hall" Instance, purely by luck.

Although he said that, looking at it now, how could it be that simple?

Strength also played a major part.

World BOSSes could still be overwhelmed by numbers.

Dozens or even hundreds of people could fight a single World BOSS.

But "Demon Dragon Hall" was an Instance; Hell Difficulty allowed at most twelve people.

Overall, "Demon Dragon Hall" was still harder.

"Time to get to work."

Jiang Chen said softly.

Fifteen Undead Legions appeared neatly before him.

Fortunately, the Dragon Cave was large enough to accommodate them.

The Lich Generals raised their staffs in unison.

A rumbling sound echoed through the cave, and a White Light shot into the sky, reflecting brilliantly off the ice layers.

The Skeleton Warriors had already charged forward while buffs were being applied.

The Skeleton Mages' skills had also been thrown out.

3000 Skeleton Warriors, 2250 Skeleton Mages.

The spectacle was so great that even the Ice Demon Dragon jumped in fright.

The Roar also shifted into a bizarre change in sound.

The Skeleton Mage's Skill covered every corner of its body.

Flame burned, gale howled, thunder rumbled.

Various sounds intertwined into a heap, echoing nonstop in the Cave.

Small Explosions kept occurring on the Ice Demon Dragon's blue body.

Qiao Zhixin watched

and looked a bit dazed, Jiang Chen's Skeletons were much clearer than when they last met.

After the daze came excitement.

With so many Skeletons present, they could definitely win.

Qiao Zhixin already felt the Dragon Crystal beckoning her.

After awakening his innate talent, Jiang Chen will surely allocate the surplus Dragon Crystals to himself.

She believes Jiang Chen will do so, after all he even used the Earth Gem for her last time.

The Ice Demon Dragon's Roar hadn't ended when a flood of the Skeleton Mage's spells poured into its mouth, instantly plugging its voice.

Wings spread, it rose swiftly, breaking through the Mage's attack net.

Skeleton Warriors surged forward; many Skeleton Warriors leapt up, grabbed its Dragon Scales, and flew up together with it.

While being carried aloft, the Skeleton Warrior still brandished a Blade, very professional.

The Ice Demon Dragon's body had red patches and black patches.

The red parts were burned by Flame, the black parts were struck by lightning.

Besides that, many Dragon Scales were already cracked, having been sliced by wind blades.

The Skeleton Mage's Skill wasn't a joke; over 2000 spell attacks dealt considerable damage to the Ice Demon Dragon.

The Ice Demon Dragon, enraged, trembled all over, trying to shake the Skeletons off.

The Skeleton Warrior clung tightly, no matter how you shook, it wouldn't let go.

To stabilize, it even used its feet.

Sharp bony feet wedged firmly into the gaps of the Dragon Scales.

Blade kept chopping, and cracks appeared across the Dragon Scales.

Jiang Chen tapped a finger, and Red Light scattered.

Damage Curse took effect.

A small extra serving begins...
