Chapter 68: Sweeping Push and Crushing, Don't Heed Her Voice

Entering the Instance shocked several members of the party.

Twenty Skeleton Warriors pushed forward in a line ahead.

No matter what kind of reinforced Elite Monster you are, we charge in with blades and axes flying, cutting down everything without mercy.

It could be said that a group of Skeleton Warriors are beating the monsters in the Instance, overwhelming them completely.

Basically, no monster can last more than five seconds.

"There aren't many monsters in this Instance,"

The monsters in the Instance are sparse and few, so experience gains are slow.

It would be better to pull a group of monsters and just use Corpse Explosion Technique for fun.

After grinding for a while, Jiang Chen had a rough understanding of the general situation in the Instance.

Jiang Chen also didn't summon more Skeleton Warriors, as that wouldn't increase efficiency much.

Only the other party members following the team—Fang Hongxiu, Zhang Yang, Liu Cui—had their mouths hanging open wide after seeing Jiang Chen's actions and never closed them.

Fang Hongxiu never imagined a dungeon run could be this easy.

Every time they run an Instance, she's the one who gets the most exhausted.

The Knight must stay at the front and watch every monster attack.

They must firmly attract the monsters' aggro while protecting teammates.

Not like now—she just follows behind and does nothing.

Strolling leisurely, it feels just like touring the Instance...

"Necromancer, this class is surprisingly powerful; I've never heard of such a profession before..."

Team Leader Fang Hongxiu thought silently.

Zhang Yang and Liu Cui beside her shared the same thought.

After entering the Instance, they found a winding, twisting passage, like being inside a karst cave.

The humidity inside the Instance is heavier than outside, and besides a fishy smell there is also a whiff of rot

and decay.

Since entering the Instance, Lin Caier has been holding her nose.

No need to guess—looking like that, she must be the delicate daughter of a wealthy family.

After walking in the passage for a while, they finally reached the end.

A massive Cave appeared ahead.

Looking down from the end of the passage, it was over fifty meters high.

A Giant Python coiled in the center of the Cave.

The python was at least thirty meters tall, with a diameter exceeding one meter.

Its jet‑black scales covered it like armor, reflecting a metallic sheen.

Jiang Chen and the others' arrival caught the python's attention; a pair of huge eyes stared at them.

If they dare jump down, they will inevitably suffer the python's powerful attack.

The few of them used Detection Technique on the python.

"Mermaid Queen's pet snake (Elite Boss)"

"Level: 23"

"Strength: 3600"

"Agility: 5500"

"Spirit: 3000"

"Constitution: 5000"

"Skill: Slash, Death Entangle, Venom"

Such a huge Giant Python is actually the Mermaid Queen's pet snake.

It shows the Mermaid Queen truly has extraordinary means.

This Giant Python is the monster with the highest attributes Jiang Chen has ever seen.

It is far higher than the Goblin King.

It is already close to a Skeleton Warrior, even surpassing the Skeleton Warrior in Agility.

Fang Hongxiu said without hesitation, "I'll hold the monster."

Jiang Chen shook his head, "No need."

None of them moved, and the Skeleton Warriors had already charged down.

Jiang Chen still did not deploy more Skeleton Warriors.

In his view, twenty Skeleton Warriors were more than enough.

The Skeleton Warriors leapt up one after another, pouncing on the Giant Python.

The Giant Python lunged upward, amid Boom—boom—boom of massive sound

, flinging several Skeleton Warriors away.

Skill: Slash!

The python's tail snapped up, sweeping away a few more Skeleton Warriors.

Of the twenty Skeleton Warriors, half were knocked away in the first wave of combat.

The Giant Python's reaction was unexpectedly agile.

The remaining Skeleton Warriors could not get onto its body.

The Giant Python darted swiftly through the Cave, its massive tail constantly snapping Skeleton Warriors away.

The Skeleton Warrior's attacks could only land on it in small amounts, and it didn't even have time to use its Skill.

The Skeleton Warriors seemed passive, but actually they hadn't taken much damage.

After all, with a constitution attribute of 5400 displayed here, its defense wasn't low.

Fang Hongxiu looked a bit anxious.

"This Giant Python looks too agile, what should we do?"

Jiang Chen whispered, "It's fine."

His palm emitted a faint glow and gently pointed at the Giant Python.

Skill: Slow Curse.

A layer of Red Light suddenly burst in the Cave, and everyone heard a faint buzzing as if something terrifying were descending.

A Red Shackles pattern appeared atop the Giant Python's head.

In an instant, the Giant Python's speed slowed down.

It slowed by a full factor of two.

With that, the Skeleton Warrior easily captured the Giant Python.

The great Blade in his hand fell wildly, slashing hard into the Giant Python's scales.

Then the Skill erupted, dealing even greater damage to the Giant Python.

Fresh blood splattered, and the scales shattered.

The Giant Python let out continuous wails.

"Is this a Curse Skill?"

Fang Hongxiu instantly recognized the red pattern on the Giant Python's head.

Jiang Chen nodded.

"Yes."

The Necromancer Summoner is not only a Summoner but also an alternative kind of spell‑casting mage.

The Giant Python lost its speed advantage and could only engage in melee with the Skeleton Warrior.

Skill: Death Entangle.

Skill activation.

The Giant Python's body coiled around several Skeleton Warriors.

The Skeleton Warriors were violently compressed, emitting a crack sound.

It sounded hair‑raising.

However, the Skeleton Warriors were too sturdy; despite the frightening sound, they were actually unharmed.

Moreover, the entangled Skeleton Warriors never ceased swinging their Blades.

They still fell blade after blade onto the Giant Python.

The Giant Python couldn't endure, released the Skeleton Warriors, and spewed poison.

The Cave instantly became extremely fetid, making people want to vomit.

Compared to when we first entered, the smell was even more unbearable...

The Skeleton Warriors were splashed with poison; Jiang Chen sensed they were slightly wounded, but not severely.

Four-Dimensional Attribute Balance, no pain, no fear; the Skeleton Warriors were nearly perfect.

They could even be called an extremely perfect Killing Machine that unconditionally executes Jiang Chen's orders.

The Giant Python tried every method, yet remained helpless against the Skeleton Warriors.

Moreover, being cursed, even its best speed attribute could not function under these circumstances.

After entangling for two minutes, the Giant Python crashed to the ground.

Its gaze held resentment.

"Killed the level‑23 Mermaid Queen's pet snake, Experience +12,300"

"Obtained Silver-grade Armor, Snake Skin Armor"

"Obtained Intermediate Monster Crystal Core"

Fang Hongxiu's mouth twitched slightly, a bit incredulous: "Just like that, it was killed?"

"Killed it!"

Jiang Chen said as he leapt down, using the cave wall for leverage and landing steadily.

Fang Hongxiu and the others were still stunned, unable to react for a moment.

Lin Caier smiled brightly; the more formidable Jiang Chen became, the happier she was.

Others didn't know Jiang Chen, but she was the earliest to meet him.

Thus, now.

Lin Caier also forgot the shock she felt when she first saw Jiang Chen act, which was hardly any less than that of the few present.

"Stop staring, let's go quickly."

She said, then vaulted, landing lightly like a butterfly.

Much more graceful than Jiang Chen.

Fang Hongxiu and the others finally recovered, jumping down one after another.

Passing through the Cave, a stretch of azure spread before their eyes.

Ahead stood a magnificent palace.

The Mermaid Queen's palace.

All the fetid smell vanished here without a trace.

On the contrary, there is a faint fragrance here.

The whole environment has changed dramatically; it is clean and tidy.

From where they are standing to the palace gate, squads of guards are patrolling.

Each guard squad consists of three Mermaid Soldiers.

They wear armor, wield tridents, and look formidable.

No one uses Detection Technique; the moment someone uses Detection Technique, it will draw their attention.

These merfolk monsters that look like soldiers are never far away; a slip would summon a large group.

"1, 2, 3..."

"Alright, there are 60 patrol squads in total, a full 180 merfolk monsters."

Lin Caier counted once, stuck out their tongue, and thought the number a bit frightening.

Fang Hongxiu added, "And it looks like they're all reinforced Elite Monsters."

Dealing with even one of these monsters is hard; taking on three at once is almost the limit.

According to Fang Hongxiu's experience, you pick three monsters in a corner and gradually pull them over to clear them.

Gradually clearing them one by one is the most reliable and safest method.

It may be time‑consuming and labor‑intensive, but it's safer this way.

Lin Caier looked at Jiang Chen, "So many monsters—what should we do?"

Jiang Chen saw all those monsters and felt delighted.

He got up.

"Monsters, the more the better."

"Simple."

As the words fell, twenty Skeleton Warriors rushed out.

The sudden appearance of the Skeleton Warriors instantly drew the attention of the patrolling Mermaid Soldiers.

Squads of Mermaid Soldiers hurriedly chased after the Skeleton Warriors.

"Pulling monsters?"

Is he trying to lure all these monsters away?

That is actually a good method.

While the Skeleton Warriors were drawing attention, Jiang Chen's Detection Technique had already followed.

"Mermaid Elite Soldier (reinforced Elite Monster)"

"Level: 22"

"Strength: 2200"

"Agility: 1400"

"Spirit: 1000"

"Constitution: 2400"

"Skill: Dizzy Sweep"

Having seen the Mermaid Elite Soldier's attributes, he now had a grasp of the situation.

Soon, all 180 Mermaid Elite Soldiers were pulled together by the Skeleton Warriors.

Then the Skeleton Warriors ran straight toward Jiang Chen's position, bringing the monsters along.

Fang Hongxiu instantly felt their hair stand on end, wondering what Jiang Chen was doing...

Four or five could already exhaust an entire squad; now having the Skeleton Warriors lure over more than 180 is nothing short of courting death...

The Skeleton Warrior stopped 60 meters from Jiang Chen, then abruptly turned and unleashed a skill.

The Mermaid Elite Soldiers simultaneously activated their skill.

Their tridents, glowing, swept forward.

Skill: Rage Power!

Skill: Dizzy Sweep!

The two skills collided, their light soaring skyward, brilliant as fireworks.

The Skeleton Warrior's attributes were too high; especially the one that unleashed the skill, whose stats were several times those of the Mermaid Elite Soldiers.

Under the skill collision, the Skeleton Warrior won outright.

One mermaid

The Elite Soldier fell to the ground.

"Cover your ears."

Jiang Chen said to Lin Caier.

"Oh."

Lin Caier quickly covered their own ears.

Fang Hongxiu and the others hadn't yet understood what was happening when a thunderous crash rang out, shaking them almost to the point of falling.

Then came several more booming sounds.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

After a series of thunder‑like blasts, everything returned to calm.

Fang Hongxiu and the others were stunned by the flood of experience notifications.

"This..."

"My god, what actually happened?"

How could this happen, how did he do it…

What is this Skill, a big Explosion? How can its power be so great.

All Mermaid Elite Soldiers, not a single one survived.

Everyone harvested a large amount of experience and materials.

This is Fang Hongxiu and the others' first time feeling the charm of experience flooding the screen.

Several people all seemed unusually excited.

The mermaid queen's palace gate also rumbled open amid the Explosion's sound.

Fang Hongxiu, Zhang Yang and Liu Cui's hearts also began pounding uncontrollably.

What is happening right now is just too crazy for them!
