Instant Kill or Getting Killed


    “If I had known that leveling up with you would be so easy, I would have forcefully formed a team with you.”


    Jiang He said, looking at the constantly refreshing system panel in front of him.


    “I only learned this skillst night, so before that, teaming up with me wouldn’t have made much of a difference for you either.”


    Mo Xiao was not lying to Jiang He. His leveling speed was actually about the same as Jiang He’s.


    His leveling speed was actually about the same as Jiang He’s. It was only because he had managed to kill a Bronze-level boss at the end that he was able to reach level ten in one go.


    “Alright, but if you let the Skeleton Lord kill the monsters, what about the materials they drop? Don’t you need them?”


    Jiang He suddenly asked as if she had thought of something.


    “No worries. The drops from the monsters it kills will automatically be collected into my backpack. After we finish the dungeon, we can split them evenly.”


    Just like that, the two of them chatted for half an hour.


    Jiang He had also unknowingly advanced to Level 7.


    Just then, a series of red messages appeared directly on their information panels.


    [The Skeleton Soldier was killed by Elite ck Ant Soldier!]


    [The Skeleton Soldier was killed by Elite ck Ant Soldier!]


    [The Skeleton Soldier was killed by Elite ck Ant Soldier!]


    …


    [The Skeleton Lord was killed by Elite ck Ant Soldier!”]


    “What?” Mo Xiao stood up immediately upon seeing this message.


    It was normal for the Skeleton Soldiers to be killed since they were just ordinary little skeleton soldiers.


    But the skeleton lord, a summonparable to a boss, was actually killed just like that?


    Mo Xiao furrowed his brow and quickly opened the map. He saw that the ce where the skeleton lord was killed was actually a cave.


    “Looks like we’ve found the nest of the ck Ants.”


    Seeing Mo Xiao getting up, Jiang He also stood up quickly and asked, “Are we going there?”


    Hearing this, Mo Xiao nced at Jiang He and frowned.


    They were about to face an elite monster capable of killing the skeleton lord. Jiang He was only level seven now, and she was still using the mystic iron bow he had given her yesterday.


    Although it might not be necessary for her to participate in the uing battle, it would be better to arm her, just in case.


    “What’s wrong?” Jiang He blushed subconsciously when she noticed Mo Xiao staring at her.


    “This is for you. Protect yourself with it.”


    Saying so, Mo Xiao casually tossed a longbow shimmering with orange light, directly into Jiang He’s hands.


    “Huh? This is… the Bow of Stars?! Orange equipment????” Jiang He eximed when she saw the attributes of the equipment. “I-I-I can’t ept this!”


    Mo Xiaopletely ignored Jiang He’s protest and calmly said, “Consider it sold to you. Just give me something of equivalent value after you leave. Let’s go, we’ve found the nest, and we can prepare to clear this dungeon.”


    Jiang He wasn’t someone who would fuss or hesitate. Without wasting any more words, she followed closely behind Mo Xiao and walked toward the cave marked on the map.


    Before long, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the cave.


    There, they saw a giant ck ant, two or three timesrger than the previous ck ants, feasting on bones at the entrance.


    The enormous mandibles on its head were incredibly menacing.


    [Elite – ck Soldier Ant]


    Level: Level 13


    HP: 3,000/3,000


    Strength: 700


    Agility: 500


    Spirit: 10


    Endurance: 70


    Physique: 300


    Devouring Bite: mps down on the opponent with its massive mandibles, with a certain chance to directly sever the opponent and instantly kill them.


    Ant Soldier’s Power: Passive skill that can break through defenses five times stronger than its own strength.


    Charge: Uses its massive body to ram into you, causing a 1-second stun and significant damage.


    “No wonder it got killed. Thebination of this strength value and skills is too terrifying. It’s the nemesis of tank sses.”


    Mo Xiao sighed as he looked at the attributes of the ck ant soldier, and he once again held his staff, saying, “Jiang He, when I attack, follow along and attack as well. Don’t stay too far away from me, get it?”


    “Don’t worry, I’m abat professional! Let me try out my new equipment!” Jiang He smiled and took out the Bow of Stars, aiming at the ck Soldier Ant.


    Seeing this, Mo Xiao didn’t waste any words. He tapped his staff on the ground, and the skeleton lord appeared once again.


    “Dragon Wings!


    “Power Halo!


    “Full-strength attack!


    “Soul Extinguishing ck me!”


    -90,000!


    A huge red number instantly appeared above the elite ck ant soldier’s head.


    Clearly, he had triggered ten times the damage of the power of a thousand catties.


    Leaving the ck soldier ant no chance to resist, he instantly killed it.


    When Jiang He, who was nocking an arrow, saw this scene, her eyes instantly zed over.


    Ny thousand…


    Even though it was thebined effect of four skills, she was only level 10…


    Isn’t 90,000 damage a bit excessive!?


    Looking at Jiang He’s dumbfounded expression, Mo Xiao awkwardly scratched his head and said, “Um… Insects are weak against fire, so…”


    “But even with fire, it’s impossible to deal 90,000 damage, right?” Jiang He’s expression was extremely strange, clearly not believing Mo Xiao’s exnation.


    “I don’t know how to exin it either. Anyway, you just have to know that I’m very powerful.”


    Seeing this, Mo Xiao said directly, not bothering to exin further.


    “Alright, since you’re the one helping me level up this time, I won’t ask any questions,” Jiang He responded understandingly.


    [You have killed an Elite ck Ant Soldier and gained 1000 experience points.]


    “But I have to say, the experience from elite monsters is really great. I hope we encounter more of them.”


    Mo Xiao said, holding his staff and walking into the cave after collecting all the drops from the ck ant soldier.


    [You have entered the ck Ant Nest. The unusual aura emanating from you has angered the ck Ants. The ck Ants will actively attack you. Please be careful.]


    This initiative to attack seems a little ruthless…


    The system prompt just appeared, and a faint sound rang in their ears. They saw around 20 or 30 ck ants had already appeared around them.


    However, judging from the appearance of the ants, these should be ordinary ck ants, with some worker ants mixed in.


    “No elite monsters. Mo Xiao, you take care of the front, and I’ll handle the ones in the back for now! Let’s kill them all!” Jiang He excitedly said, holding the Bow of Stars.


    Watching Jiang He’s excited expression, Mo Xiao once again raised his staff and said calmly, “No need, I can handle it alone.”


    “Sea of Fire!”


    In an instant, the staff in Mo Xiao’s hand emitted a sh of red light.


    The next moment, a sea of fire surged up from under the feet of the ants, and instantly, all the ants were set aze.


    -300


    -300


    -300


    …


    Countless crimson numbers kept popping up above their heads. In the mes, they didn’t even have a chance to move and directly turned into charred remains.


    “Are you… really a novice? Your skills are a bit too monstrous,” Jiang He said in disbelief.
