Chapter 287: A Beautiful Ambush Battle, a Lucrative Path to Wealth

At this moment, the Instance still contained many teams, and after half a day, many teams had successfully cleared it.

These teams did not linger outside, but quickly teleported back into the Instance, preparing to start a second round of monster grinding.

A team consists of roughly twelve members, and each clear yields at most three to six Dragon Crystals. Even with the best luck, at least two rounds are needed to obtain twelve Dragon Crystals.

Yi Ning did a quick calculation: "Currently in the Instance, the Human Race has 20 teams, totaling 239 people." She continued, "The Abyss Demon has 18 teams, totaling 216 people. And the Dragon Race has 16 teams, with a total of 192 people."

Adding the Dragon Race and the Abyss Demon together already exceeds 400.

Jiang Chen silently calculated in his mind; his team of three—himself, Yi Ning, and Qiao Zhixin—was relatively small in number.

He said to Qiao Zhixin, "Remember to set off the fireworks."

Qiao Zhixin replied, "Don't worry, none will be missed."

Yi Ning asked in puzzlement, "What fireworks?"

Qiao Zhixin smiled and explained, "It's one of my skills; it looks just like setting off fireworks."

So that's it. Yi Ning had heard of the Collector Master profession, but had never seen it in action and knew little about its skills.

She knew that the Collector Master lacks powerful combat skills, but its attributes are relatively strong and can bring huge benefits to the whole team.

However, this profession is extremely rare, so it is considered a Mythological Class profession.

Jiang Chen had long prepared for the Instance's end, waiting only for its disappearance. Yi Ning and Qiao Zhixin were also ready for whatever the battle would bring.

Soon

, the Instance space trembled, and a team left the Instance.

The skeletons did not act; what emerged was a Human Race team.

The team had just left the Instance when they found themselves surrounded by fierce skeletons.

Each person was tightly encircled by several skeletons, their blades emitting a sharp glint. Although they were only 35th Level and their attributes pitifully low, the killing aura they exuded was terrifying.

A chilling wind whistled against them, sending shivers down their spines.

Instinctively, each one assumed a combat stance, yet dared not actually strike.

"Please leave."

Jiang Chen's voice rang out.

"Why should we? We still want to grind once more." someone protested, shouting at Jiang Chen.

A few others also shouted, "Yeah, what gives you the right?"

Jiang Chen frowned, "Don't you know my weight?"

Don't you know how much time a single grind takes?

The Instance disappears after at most 20 minutes, so grinding is a waste.

Yi Ning, seated on a Holy Spirit Unicorn, flew down, "The Instance is about to disappear; you won't have time to grind another round."

"Leave quickly; it would be bad if you get accidentally injured later."

Qiao Zhixin also spoke at this moment, "You all hurry away."

The person was about to say something else, when his Team Leader held him back and said to Jiang Chen, "Alright, we'll leave right away."

After speaking, he swept his hand dramatically and led a team away.

The skeletons automatically yielded a passage for them.

After leaving, a team member complained, "Team Leader, why do we have to go?"

The Team Leader said gravely, "The Instance is indeed ending; we won't have time for a second grind. Moreover, the opponent is Jiang Chen; it's better not to offend him."

"What's wrong with Jiang Chen? No matter how powerful he is, he can't…

…block the Instance Gate." That person had heard Jiang Chen's name and knew he was very strong.

But however strong, one still can't act so irrationally.

The Team Leader said, "I think he might be planning to kill the Abyss Demon and the Dragon Race."

The other few members of the team looked up, staring at Jiang Chen.

At this moment Jiang Chen's murderous intent surged, his gaze fixed on the Instance Exit.

Before the Instance vanished, several more teams cleared it and emerged.

They were all Human Race teams and did not provoke any reaction from the skeletons.

These people were also persuaded to retreat by Yi Ning and Qiao Zhixin.

Most people were still easy to talk to; they had heard Jiang Chen's name and could probably guess why Jiang Chen…

But there are also some people who ignore Jiang Chen; they insist on entering the Instance again.

But some people ignored Jiang Chen, insisting on re-entering the Instance.

In response, Jiang Chen went along with them.

If they get accidentally injured later, it will be their own fault.

Now that they're adults, they must take responsibility for their choices.

The space containing the Instance became increasingly distorted.

At the instant the Instance disappears, everyone inside it will appear here.

Jiang Chen was already prepared, the "Soldier" rune on the back of his hand gradually heating up.

Qiao Zhixin also gripped her hammer tightly, one hand also glowing; her fireworks were ready.

Yi Ning hovered in the air, patrolling.

Her role was to fill in the Forbidden Void.

If any fish slipped through the net and flew upward, she could use a Forbidden Void Skill to let the opponent experience the joy of gaining and then losing again.

As for the other Human Race teams still in the Instance, Jiang Chen could only do his best to ensure they weren't accidentally harmed.

He abandoned the Wind and Water Element skeleton mages, leaving only the Fire Element and Lightning Element skeleton mages.

【61】 The Group Attack Skills of the Wind and Water Element skeleton mages are both group attack skills.

Under the Amplify of the "Strong Soldier" skill, even a slight brush will

be injured.

With a faint sound, the vortex at the Instance Entrance burst like bubbles.

The next second, space violently fluctuated and twisted, and all living beings inside the Instance were teleported out.

"Take action!"

The Red Light scattered, and the Slow Curse took effect instantly.

The "Strong Soldier" skill and Qiao Zhixin's fireworks detonated simultaneously.

Brilliant beyond compare.

The Skeletons and the just‑emerged professionals glowed at the same time.

The Skeleton Warrior's Soul Fire flickered violently, and at the same moment raised the Blade to unleash the skill.

The Skeleton Mage also released a skill, delivering a flood of attacks.

Their targets were unified, all winged creatures.

The Abyss Demon and the Dragon Race Professionals suffered fatal blows.

The wails merged into a chorus, constantly echoing.

Qiao Zhixin's fireworks can only target 200 people at a time, and among them are many Human Professionals mixed in.

But there's nothing that can be done; we can't force it.

Nor can we wait for her skill's cooldown to end before using it a second time.

Jiang Chen's goal is to completely resolve the battle within a few seconds.

The wails have not ceased since the beginning.

Flames explode to death, and thunder rolls.

The Blade's Red Light burst, splashing blood.

The Demon and the Dragon Race's blood, intertwined with the wails, stained the Ancient Battlefield.

After leaving the Instance, there are about two seconds to adapt.

These two seconds are enough for Jiang Chen to do many things.

Not to mention just professionals; even a Hei Mo Long, under the "Strong Soldier" skill, Jiang Chen can be confident of inflicting a serious injury within two seconds.

Because Human Race are intermingled, otherwise it would be even simpler.

Directly several Corpse Explosions passed through, leaving everything spotless.

The Human Teams previously driven away by Jiang Chen, upon seeing this scene, each broke into cold sweat.

They saw the Abyss

Demon and the Dragon Race's tragic state.

Just after exiting the Instance, with no reaction time, they were instantly dismembered.

Waves of attacks came, overwhelming the eyes.

They tried to imagine, if these attacks were aimed at themselves, the result would be like this.

The answer is only one: death!

"This lethality, it's too strong."

"These are all demons and Dragon Race over level 50, yet they look like tofu, chopped to pieces instantly."

"All I can say is Jiang Chen's skeletons are too strong, Jiang Chen himself is too strong."

"These guys are truly pitiful; after finally obtaining Dragon Crystals, they couldn't keep them."

"Jiang Chen cashed in big this round."

"Indeed, Military Merit, experience, Dragon Crystals, all cashed in big."

The Abyss Demon and the Dragon Race were swiftly exterminated.

Two seconds later, only a few remained alive.

An Abyss Demon's entire body erupted with Black Light; Abyssal Power roiled, unexpectedly repelling the surrounding Skeletons.

It broke through with severe injuries, soaring skyward.

Yi Ning rode the Holy Spirit Unicorn, arriving, and released the skill: Forbidden Void.

The demon, unwilling, fell back into the Skeleton crowd, and then fell silent.

There were also Dragon Knights who activated Limit Defense, breaking out wildly.

Qiao Zhixin arrived, smashing a Giant Hammer straight down.

Skill: Stun!

It froze on the spot, then its Limit Defense was directly destroyed, and it was slain on the spot.

Five seconds later, the battle stopped.

The battlefield became unusually quiet in an instant.

Except for the cold wind stirred by the Skeletons, there was no other sound.

Jiang Chen sensed a strong Dragon Crystal aura.

Numerous Dragon Crystals were scattered across the ground.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned; the Dragon Crystals these guys obtained all fell out.

A thought sparked; the Skeleton Warrior immediately picked up the Dragon Crystals, and

at the same time skillfully stripped the Dragon Race's gear.

Among the Skeletons, there were still over a hundred Human Professionals.

They had just begun to understand what had happened.

Jiang Chen was actually outside the Instance, launching an ambush against Abyss Demons and the Dragon Race.

He slashed on the spot more than several hundred Abyss Demons and Dragon Race Professionals.

All within no more than five seconds; the action was too fast and decisive.

By the time the Skeletons had collected all the Dragon Crystals on the ground, they still hadn't reacted.

Jiang Chen, Qiao Zhixin, and Yi Ning's Sergeant micro badges were all glittering.

The three each earned over 270,000 Military Merit, and their experience was substantial.

Using the Collecting Technique, Jiang Chen obtained many Demon Core Fragments and Dragon Bloodline Essence.

He also tossed a large amount of Dragon Race equipment into storage.

The biggest haul was still the Dragon Crystals.

Jiang Chen hadn't even expected the Dragon Crystals could be burst out.

In total he unexpectedly obtained 151 Dragon Crystals; adding his own 72, his Dragon Crystal count reached 273, which is astonishing.

This truly is the most effective path to getting rich!
