Chapter 75 Scary bone path!
After the three second duration of the Tornado skill, the five Skeleton Soldiers with Sword and Shield finally dropped their guard and started to move in the direction towards Xie Feng.
Upon seeing this, Xie Feng threw a small fireball. The Skeleton Soldier who was on the left could not react in time and raise his shield so the spell hit his body perfectly.
-505
When he saw the damage caused by the fire spell he finally confirmed that the shield of the skeleton soldiers blocks approximately 50% of the damage of the magic spells.
The skeleton soldiers quickly arrived in front of Xie Feng. It could be by chance or perhaps from experience gained while they were still alive, the space between each skeleton was so tiny that even if Xie Feng wanted to pass through, to attack the undead mages would be impossible.
The Skeleton Soldier with Sword and Shield that Xie Feng had just attacked was the first to arrive in front of him and attack. Instead of trying to dodge, Xie Feng decided to check a thought he had at this moment, so he lifted his sword and blocked the monster's attack.
*Clang!*
However, after successfully blocking the first attack, the skeleton soldier's sword moved strangely without warning and hit Xie Feng's body.
-360
-299
Limited by the system, Xie Feng could not move his body as he wanted to. The Skeleton Soldier with Sword and Shield skill was activated and in less than two seconds he attacked three times.
The first attack was stopped by Xie Feng, however he could not react to the next two attacks. The total damage received was 659!
The first attack caused a total of 70%, the second 60% and the third 50%. This means that the base damage of these skeleton soldiers is 600!
Xie Feng immediately struck back and cut with his sword the body of the same skeleton he had attacked a second ago. While moving his sword, he raised his right hand and cast a Magic Bullet.
-318
-408
Immediately after attacking, Xie Feng activated his Path Cloud skill and moved to the side, avoiding by a hair the attack of the other two skeleton soldiers.
[Skeleton Soldier with Sword and Shield]
[Level: 24]
[HP: 290/2000]
Within three seconds, the skeleton soldier's health bar in which Xie Feng centered his attacks was almost completely empty. However, just as Xie Feng was about to attack for the last time -
*Whoosh!*
Upon sensing danger from the side, he immediately retreated backwards using strange movements and his high movement speed.
*Bang!*
A magic bullet hit the place between him and the skeleton soldier who was about to die. Xie Feng did not have time to think too much because immediately afterwards he felt two more gusts of wind flying towards him at a dizzying speed.
Because the corridor was too narrow to move freely, Xie Feng could only dodge one of the magic bullets fired by the undead magicians. In less than a fraction of a second he analyzed what would be the movement that would leave him better positioned and moved to the right.
-650
A terrifying red number floated above his head after he was inevitably hit. After being hit by only two monsters above level 20, Xie Feng's HP bar was half empty but he still hadn't killed any enemy monsters!
This is the clear difference between the levels!
Still, one couldn't see any panic in his expression. He went forward instead of backward. As he zigzagged forward avoiding the two sword attacks by the other skeleton soldiers, he pulled out a red potion from his inventory and drank it without hesitation.
Red Potion (M): Medium health potion. Recovers 800 health points in 10 seconds. Cannot be used with other red potions].
+80 HP
Xie Feng did not stop while drinking the potion and cut with his sword in a wide arc, successfully hitting the skeleton with sword and shield and draining its last 300 health points.
Xie Feng did not stop his steps and took advantage of the crack caused by the death of one of the monsters. After drinking the potion, the next second, his HP recovered by another 80 points.
-600
When hit by a Small Fireball, as an undead mage type the damage received was considerably greater than that of skeletons with sword and shield. The next second the three undead magicians raised their sticks and cast healing at the same time.
+400 HP
+400 HP
+400 HP
.
.
The skeletons with sword and shield returned to their full health bar while the undead magician who had just been hit by Xie Feng's magic attack was also completely healed.
Xie Feng simply smiled mockingly and instead of attacking again, he continued running past the undead mages. Immediately he turned around and attacked.
5 seconds of cool down was over.
Tornado!
-1200.... -1200.... -1198
-1201.... -1202.... -1199
*Ka!*
*Ka!*
*Ka!*
After two seconds of receiving such a huge amount of damage, the three undead mages died. Their bones broke causing terrifying sounds and the tunic covering their bony bodies fell to the ground.
After eliminating the undead mages, eliminating the other skeletons with sword and shield was really simple. Xie Feng didn't take long to kill them. In total, Xie Feng got one silver coin and 80 copper coins.
With the exception of the BOSS, all level 1 monsters until level 30 drop copper coins. From level 30 to level 60, silver coins. From level 60 on, gold coins.
It may seem a little unfair, but considering that a gold coin is equivalent to 1 Chinese Yuan, it's understandable such a drop rate. Otherwise everyone would become rich and the world economy would start to collapse.
Apart from that, he also got some potions and two pieces of equipment level 24 steel grade. Xie Feng didn't even pay attention to them after seeing the brightness that identified their low grade and simply threw both pieces of equipment in the inventory. He would sell it later.
***
As he advanced more and more, the space in the corridor became wider and wider, which made Xie Feng's movements much easier. Now there was not only a path in the front and back, there were also branching paths that seemed to lead to other parts of the cave.
Even so, Xie Feng did not turn around and continued to advance in a straight line while following the rotten smell that got stronger as he went deeper.
Suddenly, fifteen monsters began to move from all directions towards him. However, fifteen monsters above level twenty were too much for the current Xie Feng.
Perhaps he could fight them if they were skeleton soldiers or undead mages. But by combining both types, Xie Feng's options were too limited. Even if he used his high movement speed he could not move freely in a closed environment like this, meanwhile, the shield of the Sword and Shield Skeleton Soldiers could stop his Tornado as long as they were positioned in the right place.
Xie Feng no longer hesitated as he quickly folded his body and ran inside the cave as fast as he could. Wherever he went, more Sword and Shield Skeleton Soldiers and Skeleton Mages kept appearing. It was good that these heavy skeleton soldiers could not keep up with Xie Feng's movement speed, but the magic balls of the Skeleton Mages continued to fly at him. Xie Feng listened to the sounds of the projectiles and dodged them all without too much effort.
Soon what appeared to be a door appeared in front of him and without hesitation he walked through it. Surprisingly for him, the monsters did not continue to advance and stopped after he passed through the door and began to disperse in all directions again.
[Ding!.... You have entered the second floor of the A+ rank dungeon: Darkness in the Light]
The rank of the dungeons is usually based on the level, statistics, equipment and records of the player. That is, taking all these points into consideration, the system puts a rank to that dungeon for that specific player.
In other words, two level ten players can join the same dungeon but the dungeon's rank can be different.
This is because, taking into consideration the total ability of the player, the system makes an approximate evaluation of the dungeon for that specific player.
If it were any other fourteen level player, if they wanted to run like this and pass safely through the second level of this cave, it would be more than difficult or even considered impossible.
Relatively speaking, being able to fight and kill eight monsters above level twenty, passing through this group of level twenty-four monsters without receiving a single blow, was considered quite easy for him.
Running from the beginning of the second floor of the cave to the end, it was difficult to know how many times he had changed his body position to dodge the attack of the skeletons. But it had been a very comfortable experience and there was not the slightest stress or concern.
Another door appeared before him and Xie Feng dove in without hesitation.
The sounds of the skeletons chasing him and the flying Undead Elementary Balls stopped and his surroundings became silent once again. And in front of him, the scene had undergone a great change. It no longer glowed red like the first and second levels because of the blood jades, but the surroundings were filled with a white glow.... But it was not a normal white glow, rather it was a very evil white glow.
The source of this white glow ... It came from the white ground under his feet.
[Ding!.... You have entered the third level of the A+ rank dungeon: Darkness in the Light]
The third floor was a path full of skeletal bones!
Seeing countless bones, Xie Feng's heart could not help but tremble with a shudder at the thought of how many living beings had to be killed to gather that many bones!
*Crack!*
*Crack!*
*Crack!*
Every step he took destroyed several bones and in the midst of this gloomy atmosphere, the sound of cracking was extremely disturbing to hear.
The only advantage was that because the bones had a slight white glow, the distance he could see was much greater as well.
As Xie Feng ran around and avoided a terrifying number of skeletons and undead magicians, he suddenly felt something from the front and when he saw the monster in front of him he couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
A skeleton that was more than five meters high was slowly approaching.... The skeleton was slow considering the movement speed of Xie Feng, but in reality it was not slow.
Each step of the skeleton was equivalent to three steps of a normal skeleton. It was not wearing any kind of armor or anything like that. Neither did it have any kind of dirt covering it. Its white bone glowing in the white glow made it even more sinister and terrifying.
[Big Skeleton]
[Level: 35]
[HP: ????]
[Description: ????]
(Skills):
[????]
Since there was a level difference of more than ten, the inspection skill could not show any of its details. Level thirty-five, it was at a level that Xie Feng could never defeat as his attacks could not do any damage.
Perhaps because of its large construction, there were not many giant skeletons present as in the previous two floors of the cave.
In fact, Xie Feng could only see two of these giant skeletons blocking his way today.
Xie Feng was only scared like this for a second. He looked around and, as before, ran towards the giant skeleton.
High in the air, the Big Skeleton revealed a set of white teeth that moved up and down, almost as if it were saying something in a skeletal language. As Xie Feng recklessly approached, it lifted its leg, which was as large as Xie Feng's entire body, and stomped with cold pressure on his head.
