Crack, crack, crack...
As the legion continued to advance, the skeletal remains of the dead gradually covered the ground.
[Defeated level 20 skeleton, received an additional 50% overlevel bonus, experience +30 points, "Far Ahead" activated, additional experience +6.]
[Defeated level 20 skeleton, received an additional 50% overlevel bonus, experience +30 points, "Far Ahead" activated, additional experience +6.]
...
The speed of gaining experience didn''t slow down at all. With the outer circle of Skeleton Warriors forming a protective ring, the two main damage dealers inside were completely unaffected.
Every two steps forward, they would stop in unison to launch an attack, then continue advancing.
The only thing that annoyed Su Mubai was that these skeletons didn''t drop anything.
This was the stingiest monster he had ever seen.
Low experience was one thing, but not even a single Copper Coin!
Soon, Su Mubai realized his previous estimation was wrong.
Looking at his experience bar, which was nearing 80%, and the endless sea of skeletons, he couldn''t help but sigh.
"If only I had an AOE skill right now."
Unfortunately, there was no "if," and he didn''t have any AOE skills.
Since entering the game, all his experience points had been earned by the skeleton legion, one slash at a time.
"Aren''t we there yet?"
Unable to hold back, Su Mubai turned and asked.
Rod, with vacant eyes, replied, "Almost, almost..."
"......"
Forget I asked!
Su Mubai''s brow twitched slightly as he continued to control the skeleton legion forward.
[Congratulations to player "White Night" for reaching level 11, all attributes +1, skill points +1, free attribute points +15.]
Even after the golden light flashed and Su Mubai leveled up, Rod''s destination was still not in sight.
Su Mubai couldn''t help but frown, scrutinizing Rod from head to toe.
Could this guy be pointing randomly?
But he could provide a 10% exploration rate, so he must be an important character.
Just then, Rod''s eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed forward excitedly.
If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it.
"There it is!"
Su Mubai immediately looked over and saw a giant coffin standing there.
The coffin seemed to have been placed there for a long time, with its exterior already decaying, and the lid half-rotted, faintly revealing a corpse inside.
The most peculiar thing was that no skeletons were near the coffin.
The endless sea of skeletons seemed to deliberately avoid that place.
Su Mubai''s eyes lit up, and he decisively commanded the legion to charge forward.
When something unusual happens, there''s always a reason! Whether it''s a clue or a BOSS, he''s open to it all.
Crack, crack, crack...
As the skeleton legion entered the area near the coffin, the surrounding sea of skeletons receded like a tide, quickly disappearing into the dark night, even the glow of Soul Fire vanished.
"Are they that afraid of this place?"
Su Mubai raised an eyebrow, deliberately controlling a Skeleton Warrior to step back, away from the coffin.
Crack, crack, crack...
The next moment, skeletons reappeared from afar, rushing in this direction.
"I''ll play with you later."
Having found the pattern, Su Mubai grinned and brought the Skeleton Warrior back.
As expected, the sea of skeletons retreated once more.
"Let''s see what you are."
Su Mubai turned to the giant coffin ahead, controlling a Skeleton Warrior to approach.
Before it could get close, more than a dozen chains suddenly appeared behind the coffin.
The Skeleton Warrior immediately raised its greatsword, ready to respond to any sudden situation.
But the next moment, those chains tightly bound the coffin.
[Hint: You have discovered a Soul Lock Coffin, exploration rate +2%. Destroying the Soul Lock Coffin will increase it by another 3%.]
[Hint: Destroying the Soul Lock Coffin will release a terrifying presence. Proceed with caution.]
"This is it, destroy it! Destroy it!"
As the system prompt sounded, Rod became excited, urging Su Mubai to destroy the Soul Lock Coffin.
"If you keep shouting, I''ll turn around and leave, believe it or not?"
Su Mubai glared at Rod, who actually quieted down.
Only then did he carefully examine the upright coffin before him.
Even without Rod''s urging, he would definitely destroy this thing.
After all, his goal was a 100% exploration rate.
[Soul Lock Coffin]
Shield Value: 1,000,000/1,000,000
Physical Defense: 1000
Magic Defense: 1000
These stats might take other players half a day to break through, but to Su Mubai, they were insignificant.
However, due to the collision volume, even though the coffin was large for Su Mubai, only eight Skeleton Warriors could attack it at a time.
At this point, the importance of ranged firepower became apparent.
[Heavy Hit]!
[Double Shot]!
[Fireball Technique]!
-36708, -35999, -36123...
-6558, -13240!, -6613...
-21352, -20987, -42638!...
The moment eight greatswords struck the chains, a rain of arrows and fireballs fell upon the giant coffin.
The number of arrows was clearly more than double the fireballs.
In an instant, the Soul Lock Coffin''s 1,000,000 HP dropped to zero.
Boom!
The entire coffin exploded, revealing the corpse inside.
Clatter...
To Su Mubai''s surprise, the chains remained unscathed, directly entangling the corpse.
The corpse, who knows how long it had been there, was already skin and bones.
The entire face was sunken, clearly showing the skull beneath.
"He''s coming! He''s coming out!"
Rod suddenly shouted like a madman, then floated away without looking back.
"Run! Run!"
...
Even as he disappeared, his voice still echoed.
Su Mubai released his hands from his ears, having no intention of leaving.
Are you kidding? Isn''t the BOSS here to give me warmth?
Clatter...
As the chains tightened, the corpse finally reacted.
It suddenly opened its eyes, its pupils empty.
Then, two wisps of Soul Fire ignited, and the corpse began to move.
The chains that once bound it seemed to become its weapon, quietly floating around its body.
A chill swept over, gradually covering the ground with frost.
"Outsider, you have disrupted my transformation!"
The corpse opened its mouth, emitting a hoarse voice, its ghostly blue pupils staring intently at Su Mubai.
The next moment, the anger on its face vanished without a trace, replaced by a smile.
"Oh, such a rich aura of death. By absorbing the energy within you, I will surely succeed in my transformation."
"What gives you that confidence?"
Su Mubai rolled his eyes and waved his hand slightly.
In the next moment, several Skeleton Warriors advanced, and the rear unleashed full firepower.
[The Forgotten One—Neil]
[Half-Frost Lich]
[Level 20]
[Dark Gold BOSS]
[HP: 3,000,000/3,000,000]
[Spell Power: 12,800]
[Physical Defense: 1500]
[Magic Defense: 2100]
[Elemental Resistance: Ice 20%]
[Skills: Frost series spells, Undead Summoning series spells, Shadow Curse series spells.]
(He seems to have attempted to transform into a Lich but failed halfway.)
Also a Dark Gold BOSS, Neil, this half-lich, exuded a far greater sense of oppression than Reggie.
Even the skills he mastered were from three major series.
But it was all useless.
Facing the current Su Mubai, his performance was even worse than Reggie''s back then.
Even though his size was smaller than the coffin, the skeleton legion couldn''t attack him all at once.
But the first wave of attacks still knocked off nearly a million of his HP.
Just as he appeared, before he could even finish his grand entrance, his health bar was already down by a third.
At that moment, Neil was dumbfounded, only then realizing in horror that he was surrounded.
All around him were the opponent''s "people"!
For a moment, he couldn''t even tell who was closer to being a lich.
