I, the Necromancer, will crush the gods!

Chapter 66 Please select; we can only keep one.

Seeing this, the people at the front of the line all changed their expressions drastically, and a bad premonition crept into their hearts.

Fang Hongxiu's expression changed drastically, and she shouted urgently, "Retreat quickly!"

The group immediately retreated, moving away from the foot of the mountain.

Suddenly, hundreds of mermaid monsters rushed down from the mountaintop, completely blocking the way up the mountain.

At this point, even the slowest people realized that someone had deliberately lured the mermaid monster down...

This method is absolutely despicable!

Jiang Chen saw a person running in front of the monster horde, clearly having deliberately lured the mermaid monsters. This person was dressed differently from them, and was neither from Shenlong University nor the Shenlong Empire.

Fang Hongxiu also saw it and said, "They are from the country of cherry blossoms."

"The clothes he's wearing are clearly traditional Japanese clothing!"

Fang Hongxiu narrowed her eyes.

"This guy must be a profession unique to Japan—an Onmyoji."

The professional's clothes are embroidered with cherry blossom patterns.

Jiang Chen frowned when he heard the profession of Yin-Yang Master, clearly having never heard of it before.

Lin Cai'er whispered, "I've heard this profession is very insidious."

Fang Hongxiu added, "That's true. Onmyoji are renowned for their many tricks." "Their actual strength isn't that great, but they are extremely cunning and full of schemes, making them very difficult to deal with in a real fight..."

The Onmyoji took out two talismans and threw them out, one to the left and one to the right. The talismans exploded in the air, and two huge phantom images appeared.

The two phantom figures swiftly descended from the sky to the foot of the mountain, attracting the monsters in the pool at the foot of the mountain like skeleton warriors.

The monsters in the pool and those around it rushed towards the phantom as if they were going berserk upon seeing it appear, suggesting that the phantom had the property of attracting the monsters' hatred.

The retreating students of Qianlong Academy were surrounded by monsters, and they kept unleashing their skills in an attempt to break free of the encirclement.

However, there were too many monsters, and most of them could not break through.

Unable to break through, they showed expressions of helplessness and regret. They had no choice but to emit white light one by one, use the teleportation stone, and escape from the scene.

Everyone receives a quest stone before entering the island, which can also be used as a teleportation stone. In emergencies, using a quest stone can directly teleport a player out of the instance, serving as a last resort for survival…

However, once teleported, this trial mission will end in failure.

Lin Cai'er said, "This is a Shikigami skill of Onmyoji, which is said to be able to summon ancient gods."

Liu Cui asked in a low voice, "Why did he do that?"

Fang Hongxiu explained, "He wanted to stop us from going up the mountain."

At this time, the foot of the mountain was already filled with monsters, at least two hundred of them.

There are more than a hundred monsters on the mountain road.

More than 300 monsters completely blocked the road up the mountain.

Zhang Yang frowned and couldn't help but say, "It will take at least several hours to clear out these monsters, and it will be difficult to go up again..."

The Onmyoji sat on the shikigami, floating in the air, laughing heartily.

"You can stay here. This instance belongs to my great Sakura Kingdom."

After saying that, the shikigami carried him away and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"mean."

"Onmyoji is a legendary profession. It seems that Japan has really gone all out this time."

"By the time we clear out all the monsters here, it will be too late."

"Moreover, our team is in disarray, and many people have dropped out of the trial."

Fang Hongxiu said, "It's okay, we can regroup when we get to the instance."

"The problem now is how to get up there?"

Indeed, this is the most troublesome problem right now... Someone suggested, "Who can sacrifice themselves and lure the monsters away?"

Another student said, "Don't be silly, do you think we're also level 40 second-job classes? Don't you know how dangerous it is to pull monsters?"

"This isn't just a dozen or twenty, it's hundreds of monsters."

"Go, Summoner."

"You think summoners are omnipotent? A few monsters are fine, but with so many, are you kidding me?"

Fang Hongxiu looked at Jiang Chen and asked, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Jiang Chen nodded, and then a skeleton warrior rushed swiftly towards the foot of the mountain.

One student exclaimed in surprise, "What? This is a skeleton? An undead summon?"

Another student asked疑惑地问道, "Whose summoned creature is this? What's it going to do?"

"Looks like it's going to lure the monster away; it's really fast."

The appearance of the skeleton warrior immediately attracted the attention of the monster horde.

A large number of mermaid monsters screamed and chased after the skeleton warrior.

Suddenly, the number of mermaids surrounding them decreased by a third.

Fang Hongxiu sighed, "It's a pity there are still so many."

Click, click.

Another skeleton warrior ran over.

"Two?"

Fang Hongxiu's eyes lit up; she hadn't expected Jiang Chen to have a second skeleton warrior.

Great, now there's hope!

The second skeleton warrior did the same thing, pulling away another group of monsters.

The monsters at the foot of the mountain are mostly gone; now only the monsters on the mountain path remain.

Even if these monsters are still there, they will be much faster to clear them than before.

"Well done."

"Well done, bro."

"This brother is awesome. I'll treat you to drinks after the trial is over."

"I'll take you through dungeons from now on!"

Everyone praised Jiang Chen.

Lin Cai'er smiled brightly, seemingly happier praising Jiang Chen than praising herself.

Only Lei Ren looked ashen-faced, as if he had eaten a rat dropping.

At this moment, the third skeleton also appeared.

"There's a third one."

"This time it's a sure thing!" everyone shouted excitedly.

"Get ready to go up the mountain," Jiang Chen said softly.

Fang Hongxiu was ready.

"Okay, everyone get ready."

The third skeleton rushed forward and pulled down the group of monsters on the mountain path.

Fang Hongxiu seized the opportunity and quickly rushed up the mountain.

Other teams followed suit upon seeing this.

In fact, Jiang Chen didn't need to go through all that trouble. He could have simply used the Corpse Explosion technique to wipe out all the monsters instantly.

It's all because of Lei Ren's existence.

Jiang Chen didn't want this guy to take advantage of him.

They're currently in a team, so if they use Corpse Explosion, why should the experience be split equally?

Jiang Chen, with his good temper, wasn't that foolish to provoke him time and time again. If this happened anywhere else, Lei Ren would probably be dead by now.

The group ran quickly up the mountain.

The mountain, several hundred meters high, was reached in just a few minutes.

We arrived at the dungeon entrance.

At the other end of the mountain, another group of people ran up.

"Get into the dungeon, don't let them get there first."

The students from Qianlong Academy shouted in unison.

Fang Hongxiu also rushed towards the dungeon entrance.

"what?"

"How did they get up here?"

"Could it be that they can fly too?"

The Onmyoji who just sat on the shikigami, standing in the void, looked strange. He had clearly pulled so many monsters that he had blocked the path.

It will take at least several hours to clear out these monsters.

By then, the Japanese team will have already finished the dungeon and left.

He was surprised that Qianlong Academy had reached the mountain so quickly, exceeding his expectations.

Both sides rushed to the top of the mountain, glanced at each other, and then charged towards the dungeon entrance.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

The arrows exploded in the air and fell like raindrops.

"Watch out, it's a rain of arrows from the archers."

The archers in the Cherry Blossom Country suddenly launched an attack, unleashing their skills.

The mage raised a shield.

The knight activated his defensive skills.

Two skeletons appeared in front of Jiang Chen, blocking his way and Lin Cai'er.

"If he dares to lay a hand on you, beat him up."

"Hit me hard, don't hold back."

The archers and mages from the Hidden Dragon Academy also unleashed their skills.

Arrows flew everywhere and spells exploded wildly. Although they were all only around level 20 professionals, their skills were still quite dazzling.

The nanny stood at the back, continuously providing healing, while the support staff quickly replenished her health.

One after another, beams of healing light shot into the sky.

Knights joined the battle, clashing and attacking each other.

This encounter was completely unprepared, with no formation whatsoever.

The scene became extremely chaotic.

The two sides are evenly matched, and neither can gain the upper hand.

In Jiang Chen's opinion, the Divine Dragon Empire should be stronger. Those who emerge from the Hidden Dragon Academy are all elite professionals.

Both their skills and equipment are extremely powerful.

The people who came from the Sakura Kingdom were obviously elites, but they were still a bit inferior to those from the Divine Dragon Empire.

The only problem was that the Onmyoji pulled monsters earlier, which made the Divine Dragon Empire's team incomplete and significantly reduced their combat power.

This led to a stalemate in the battle, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

The two sides fought fiercely, and neither could gain ownership of the copy.

The mage's mental energy was depleted, so he began to take mental potions.

The skills of archers and knights also went into cooldown.

The fighting between the two sides was no longer as fierce as before.

Gradually, they all retreated and entered a truce.

Jiang Chen did not make a move.

His skills were too powerful. He was afraid that if the skeleton warrior went up and struck, the opponent would be dead.

Then the corpse explodes, and probably not many of the other side will survive.

Fang Hongxiu once said that the competition between the two sides has a long history, but it has rarely resulted in deaths.

The seemingly fierce battle just now only resulted in minor injuries in the end.

Moreover, thanks to the wet nurse's treatment, the injuries healed quickly and were not life-threatening.

The first encounter ended in a draw, with both sides remaining vigilant and neither daring to let their guard down.

The dungeon is just around the corner, and the Mermaid's Tears is an item that both sides are determined to obtain.

"Our team is too disorganized and needs to be reorganized."

"As long as we can regroup, we can definitely suppress them." Many people left at the foot of the mountain, and the team was in disarray, which would put them at a disadvantage in a fight.

"We need a ranged DPS here, either a mage or an archer, just one, no higher than level 22 is fine."

"We're short a healer here. We need a healer below level 21."

"Looking for a mage, level 23 or below is fine."

Many teams lack damage dealers, and the second most common problem is a lack of healers.

Many mages quit the trial when they were surrounded by monsters.

Furthermore, there are requirements regarding the level.

The average level cannot exceed 20 when entering the Mermaid instance.

Lei Ren suddenly spoke up: "Captain, I want to go to another team."

"why?"

Fang Hongxiu was slightly surprised; she hadn't expected Lei Ren to say that.

Lei Ren pointed at Jiang Chen: "Either he leaves, or I leave." Not only Fang Hongxiu was surprised, but Zhang Yang and Liu Cui also showed surprise.

Unexpectedly, Lei Ren used this as a threat.

And of all times, they chose now, when we're already at the entrance to the instance.

Zhang Yang said in a deep voice, "Lei Ren, you've gone a bit too far."

Liu Cui added, "That's right, if Jiang Chen hadn't lured the monsters away, none of us would have made it up here."

Lei Ren said nonchalantly, "That's his business, I don't care. Anyway, it's just one sentence: either he leaves, or I leave."

Lin Cai'er sneered, "Lei Ren, you're such a dog."

Lei Ren ignored Lin Cai'er.

"Captain, you choose. I'll wait here for your decision!"

After saying that, she crossed her arms and looked coldly at Jiang Chen.
