I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 111 The Attribute of Violence, Assassins Among Monsters

Even a lion must exert its full strength to hunt a rabbit; one should always be careful and cautious, and never let one's guard down.

Jiang Chen decided to adopt a more cautious strategy, no longer acting rashly, but gradually using his numerical advantage to eliminate the dragon monsters outside the fortress step by step.

After a full hour of fighting, the dragon monsters outside the fortress were finally wiped out, and Jiang Chen obtained another dragon horn.

The four dragon materials required for the Hongji Stone include 10 portions each of dragon heart, dragon blood essence, and dragon horn, as well as 5 portions of dragon crystal core.

So far, Jiang Chen has obtained 5 dragon horns, but he hasn't acquired the other materials yet. Jiang Chen feels that the materials needed for the Floodstone are extremely difficult to obtain, and even one dungeon run might not be enough.

After a short rest, he checked his mental strength.

Considering the Spirit Set, I have a total of 3300 Spirit Power, and now I have 2200 left, which is exactly two-thirds.

The mental energy was not greatly depleted when clearing out the dragon monsters.

Jiang Chen's gaze shifted to the towering fortress; he had already devised a new plan.

There are two types of monsters on the fortress: archers and mages.

Jiang Chen knew something about mages, but he had never personally encountered an archer. However, he knew very well that such monsters were not easy to deal with.

Jiang Chen ordered several skeleton warriors to step forward, then kept a close eye on the direction of the fortress.

When they approached to within about 300 meters, the dragon mages and dragon archers on the fortress simultaneously noticed the appearance of the skeleton warriors.

The dragon archers immediately drew their longbows and fired arrows, while the dragon mages' staffs emitted a gentle breeze, beginning to unleash the Wind Binding spell.

The moment they made their move, Jiang Chen ordered the skeleton warriors to retreat immediately.

Although the arrow missed its target, the Wind Binding struck one of the skeleton warriors precisely, freezing it in place and rendering it unable to move.

The second skeleton warrior rushed over, grabbed its bound companion, and then retreated rapidly.

The dragon archers and mages on the fortress jumped down and gave chase.

Jiang Chen has successfully lured them out of the fortress and is ready to eliminate them.

They had barely been lured out of the fortress by the skeleton warriors when Jiang Chen commanded the surrounding skeleton warriors to immediately surround them. At the same time, he cast a detection spell.

"Dragon Archer (Hell-level Elite Monster)"

"Level: 31"

Strength: 8000

Agility: 8500

"Spirit: 3000"

Constitution: 8000

Skills: Arrow Rain, Binding Arrow

Jiang Chen had anticipated that the dragon archers also possessed control skills, which is why he used this tactic.

The monsters here all possess control skills, and with their large numbers, Jiang Chen's skeleton warriors will find it difficult to be effective.

Therefore, you can't gather too many monsters together; you can only lure them in a small area and defeat them one by one.

If the number of monsters lured is small, the skeleton warriors are very powerful and deal considerable damage. In just a few seconds, Jiang Chen successfully eliminated two dragon monsters.

A prompt was received.

"Slayed a level 31 Dragon Archer, experience +365867"

"Obtain the essence and blood of the dragon race"

Jiang Chen understood immediately: "So the dragon's essence blood was obtained from the archers."

As for the materials dropped by mages, they are dragon horns, while level 30 dragon spearmen do not drop any materials.

Jiang Chen continued to use the same strategy, luring out and clearing the monsters on the fortress one by one.

Half an hour later, no monsters remained alive on the fortress.

Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally done!"

At this moment, he already had 8 dragon horns and 4 dragon blood essences in his hands.

Jiang Chen clapped his hands and strode into the fortress.

The fortress wasn't large; as the dungeon's name suggests, it was just an outpost.

The space inside the fortress is not large.

Strangely, apart from the archers and mages on the city wall, not a single other monster was seen.

Just as Jiang Chen was wondering, one of the skeleton warriors was suddenly attacked.

Its attack power was astonishing, and the skeleton warrior was instantly severely injured.

The sudden attack startled Jiang Chen, who instinctively recalled the skeleton warrior to his summoning queue.

Successfully retrieved; the skeleton warrior has returned to the summoning queue.

Fortunately, the skeleton warrior was not controlled; he was simply attacked.

At this moment, it looked miserable, with dense cracks on its bones, as if it were about to break at any moment, and it was seriously injured.

In less than two seconds, the skeleton warrior was almost instantly killed.

If it had been a few seconds later, the skeleton warrior would probably have been dead.

Jiang Chen was secretly shocked: "Such powerful attack power."

This is the first time I've encountered such severe damage.

Even the world-class boss, the Lion Tyrant, couldn't inflict such damage on the Skeleton Warrior.

Most importantly, he didn't even know where the attack came from.

The skeleton warriors did not detect the attackers.

The skeleton warrior's keen senses prevented it from even detecting the attacker, something Jiang Chen had never encountered before.

He silently put his skeleton armor back on to avoid being ambushed.

Seconds later, another skeleton warrior was attacked. Its injuries were equally severe.

Jiang Chen immediately put away the skeleton warrior.

Then all the skeleton warriors returned and focused on him.

The most terrifying enemy is the unknown one.

"Two skeleton warriors were attacked, one after the other, ten seconds apart, and several hundred meters apart."

"The attack methods are almost identical; they are both attacks launched from behind."

"Either they act very quickly, or there is more than one."

"No matter what, let's find a way to locate it first."

The situation seems a bit tricky.

Jiang Chen's gaze sharpened; the difficulty of the hellish dungeon had indeed exceeded his expectations.

For him, the difficulty of the Hell dungeon wasn't the monsters' attack power or their number. It was mainly because the monsters there all used crowd control abilities.

This prevents the skeleton warriors from playing their proper role.

Skeleton mages and skeleton warriors surrounded Jiang Chen in layers. Before finding the monster that had launched the sneak attack, Jiang Chen did not proceed further.

Jiang Chen's breathing gradually became even, and he calmed down completely.

A dozen seconds later, another skeleton warrior was attacked.

All three skeleton warriors were attacked at the same time.

"Do it!"

Be prepared.

When the skeleton warrior is attacked, the skeleton mage's skills are activated simultaneously.

The interval between them should not exceed 0.1 seconds.

Freezing rain, tornadoes.

These are the two offensive skills used. The coverage area is 10 meters, and target locking is not required.

Within the skill's range, icy rain fell from the sky, and tornadoes howled incessantly.

When the two are combined, the ice swirls through the air like sharp arrows.

Several hazy shadows appeared in sight.

Under attack, the unknown enemy finally revealed itself, and the nearby skeleton warriors instantly unleashed their skills.

A burst of red light erupted from the broadsword.

Skill: Berserker Power!

Amidst screams, the hidden monster finally revealed itself completely.

A dragon-like monster, wielding a dagger and wearing light black armor.

assassin?

Jiang Chen looked at the monster, and the word immediately popped into his mind.

The next second, the detection spell had already been cast. "Dragon Assassin (Hell-level Elite Monster)"

"Level: 32"

Strength: 6000

Agility: 9500

"Spirit: 2000"

Constitution: 5000

Skills: Invisibility, Fatal Strike

Extreme attributes.

Both strength and agility have reached the required level.

With over 6000 points, but a pitiful 2000 in spirit and only 5000 in constitution, such extreme attributes, combined with stealth and critical strike skills.

Its explosive power is extremely astonishing.

Even the skeleton warrior was severely injured by a single blow.

Moreover, when they activate their skills while in stealth mode, their stealth state is not broken.

An extremely powerful monster.

Unfortunately, Jiang Chen still managed to find it.

The invisibility skill is canceled when attacked.

Once exposed, their advantages vanish.

His weak physique became a fatal flaw.

Under the combined attack of the skeleton warriors and skeleton mages, the three dragon assassins were instantly killed.

"Slayed a level 32 Dragon Assassin, experience +386234"

"Obtain the heart of a dragon"

Jiang Chen was secretly pleased: "So the dragon's heart came from a dragon assassin."

Mages proc their horns, archers proc their essence blood, and assassins proc their hearts.

Now all that's missing is the crystal core, whose origin is still unknown. Looking towards the depths of the fortress.

The fortress was shrouded in night, silent and still.

At the deepest part of the dungeon is a plaza, which is the final point of the instance.

We didn't see a single dragon monster along the way.

However, Jiang Chen knew that there were probably many assassins lurking in various corners.

To seize the opportunity to launch a fatal attack.

The team is no longer scattered.

Skeleton warriors were on the outside, skeleton mages were on the inside, and Jiang Chen was at the very core.

The entire group advanced along the path through the fortress.

Just as Jiang Chen had predicted, they were ambushed again along the way.

The skeleton mage reacted quickly, using area-of-effect skills to force the assassins out one by one, and then the skeleton warriors focused their fire, instantly killing them.

Although the skeleton warrior was ambushed, he was bound to be seriously injured.

But for Jiang Chen, it was much easier.

Because it lacks control skills.

The skeleton warriors quickly recover within the summoning space; as long as they don't die, they'll be back to normal in no time.

Finally, the team reached the final point of the dungeon and encountered the BOSS.

On the rock wall behind the square, there is a giant dragon pattern.

Lifelike, as if a giant dragon were truly spreading its wings and soaring.

In the center of the square, there is also a stone statue.

The stone statue is about ten meters tall and is in the shape of a dragon monster.

With Jiang Chen's arrival, the entire fortress began to tremble.

The stone statue cracked, and a shower of rock fragments fell like raindrops. The BOSS began to revive.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback. The BOSS was inside the stone statue?
