I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Why didn't the Corpse Explosion upgrade in Chapter 23?

Jiang Chen gently cast a detection spell.

"Goblin Mine Guardian (Enhanced Elite)"

"Level: 14"

Strength: 800

Agility: 400

"Spirit: 200"

Constitution: 1000

Skill: Stun Attack

This monster's attributes are truly astonishing; it's clearly an enhanced elite monster, several times stronger than ordinary monsters. Its strength and constitution are extremely high, giving it outstanding attack and defense capabilities.

In comparison, the attributes of a level 14 knight are only between 300 and 400, far inferior to the monster in front of them.

Without cooperation and teamwork, it would be virtually impossible to complete this nightmare-level dungeon.

Even so, this monster's attributes were still far inferior to Jiang Chen's skeleton warrior.

Jiang Chen released the skeleton warriors, and in an instant, he was surrounded by these undead warriors.

Then, he stepped out and officially began his dungeon journey.

The goblin mine guards roared excitedly and charged forward.

But its cheers were quickly interrupted by the skeleton warrior's greatsword.

Although this monster was tall and imposing, it lacked both agility and intelligence. The skeleton warrior's greatsword struck it, immediately leaving a horrible wound.

The wound was wide open, looking deep and gruesome.

Given this monster's attributes, even in a one-on-one battle, it is destined to lose to Jiang Chen's skeleton warrior.

Not to mention it is now facing an onslaught of countless skeleton warriors.

Jiang Chen's skeleton army numbered nearly 50; they could be overwhelmed in a war of attrition...

In just two seconds, it let out a piercing scream and collapsed to the ground.

"Kill a level 14 Goblin Mine Guardian, experience +4500"

Jiang Chen felt a surge of excitement upon seeing the notification.

The experience rewards here are about 10 times higher than those from monsters of the same level; killing one monster here is equivalent to killing ten outside. Moreover, the kill speed is quite fast. Jiang Chen was certain he had found the right place; if he wanted to gain a lot of experience before the college entrance exam, this was the perfect spot.

He faced his entire army of skeletons directly and issued his orders.

Dozens of skeletons stood before Jiang Chen, their formation quite magnificent, and anyone who saw them would surely be greatly shocked!

The skeleton warriors charged into the dungeon passage like lightning, sweeping through everything in their path like an unstoppable army.

"Kill a level 14 Goblin Mine Guardian, experience +4200"

"Kill a level 14 Goblin Mine Guardian, experience +4200"

......

Prompts kept appearing, experience points rapidly increased, and loot gradually accumulated. A detailed map of the dungeon began to form in Jiang Chen's mind.

The ability of the skeleton warrior to create a map is very useful in dungeons, allowing Jiang Chen to see the areas explored by the skeleton monsters.

This allows him to plan ahead for all unknown situations, giving him an advantage.

The mine instance has many interconnected passages, and no matter which passage you choose, it will eventually lead to the end of the instance.

However, Jiang Chen was clearly not like other teams; he directly deployed skeleton warriors in every passage.

Other teams usually only choose one main path to advance, but Jiang Chen did not miss any corner, no matter how many monsters there were.

Each monster here grants a considerable 4000+ experience points. Killing one monster here is equivalent to killing a dozen or so outside, making it extremely cost-effective.

Just five minutes after entering the dungeon, Jiang Chen's body began to glow with the light of leveling up.

"Finally reached level 11."

After the upgrade, his energy was fully restored, and he immediately summoned four skeleton warriors to join his party.

He now has 56 skeleton warriors.

Name: Jiang Chen

"Class: Necromancer Onlyone"

"Level: 11"

Strength: 120

Agility: 120

"Spirit: 400"

Constitution: 120

Summoning Queue: 56/110

"Skill: 1. Soul Burn LV11, uses necromantic fire to powerfully burn the target's soul. The higher the mental strength and the higher the skill level, the greater the damage dealt."

2. Skeleton Resurrection LV11: Summons a skeleton to fight for you. The summoned skeleton's class is random and depends on the caster's mental strength and skill level.

3. Corpse Explosion LV1: Detonates a corpse, dealing damage equal to 10% of the corpse's health to enemies within a 1-meter radius.

"talent:

1. Perfect Buff LV2, a unique skill that increases the effect of all skills by 20 times.

2. Damage Misdirection LV2: Misdirects all damage received to your summoned creatures or other targets. The effects are for the host to discover.

Jiang Chen silently checked his own attributes.

"After level 10, the increase in basic attributes has become much larger." "Strength, agility, and constitution used to increase by 10 points per level, but now it increases by 20 points."

"Mental strength increased by 100 points."

"As your level increases, the attribute boosts will become increasingly larger."

Jiang Chen understood this principle after examining it.

The skill level has been upgraded again, and the Skeleton Warrior's four main attributes have reached 3400.

The base attribute was increased by 20 points, and then amplified by 20 times, resulting in an increase of 400 points.

All the changes were largely expected.

The only skill I just acquired, Corpse Explosion, remains at level 1, unchanged.

"why?"

Jiang Chen felt puzzled. Why had its Soul Flame and Summon Skeleton Warrior skills both improved, but the Corpse Explosion skill remained unchanged?

He didn't understand.

This situation was outside his knowledge scope, touching upon a blind spot in his knowledge.

"If Lin Cai'er were here, perhaps she would know."

Jiang Chen thought of Lin Cai'er, a cute girl who loved to play pranks and could talk nonstop.

They also know far more than I do.

If it's her, you can ask her.

Putting aside his doubts for the moment, he continued deeper into the dungeon.

The Deadmines instance has several passages, and each passage is connected to the others.

It looks like a maze.

However, these channels will eventually converge.

Jiang Chen distributed the skeleton warriors evenly throughout each passage, leaving no monster untouched.

His experience points increased rapidly, propelling his level to rise steadily.

It's much more efficient than working outside.

When he emerged from the passage, the monsters inside had been completely wiped out.

When I checked the experience bar on the panel again, I found that it had increased by a third.

At this rate of leveling up, I believe it won't be long before I reach level 12.

It took just over half an hour in total, which was very efficient.

The large amount of experience points he gained in the Death Mine further convinced him that his sister, Jiang Ruo, must have accumulated most of her experience in this very instance last year…

Only then can one rise to level 15 or above in a short period of time and be admitted to Shenlong University.
