Chapter 89 The Skeleton Mage Gets Stronger, So What If There Are Tens of Thousands of Ants?

As the skeleton mage cast the spell, Jiang Chen was also very curious about the power of this skill.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he stared intently ahead.

Suddenly, a burst of cold light erupted, and icy rain poured down!

A powerful force descended, and icy rain began to fall.

On what was once a scorching desert, a sheet of ice has frozen an area into a vast ice field.

The freezing rain lasted for a full ten seconds before gradually subsiding.

It covered an area of ​​approximately 10 meters, turning it into a frozen wasteland. This was a powerful area-of-effect attack.

The 18000 mental strength was not a bluff, but a genuine and immense power.

Skeleton Mage, whose skills can only be mastered at level 20, is naturally stronger than Skeleton Warrior.

Jiang Chen knew that both types of skeletons had their own uses.

However, the Skeleton Mage also has some drawbacks, namely that summoning it requires a very large amount of mental energy.

Summoning a skeleton warrior only requires 500 points of mental energy, while summoning a skeleton mage requires a full 1500 points of mental energy, more than three times that of a skeleton warrior.

Furthermore, Jiang Chen is only level 20 now, yet he has already mastered all the new skills to LV20, something that others would never even dare to dream of.

If Jiang Chen hadn't been wearing three pieces of mental energy equipment, he wouldn't have been able to summon a level 20 skeleton mage with just his 1300 mental energy points. He looked at the desert fruits that had already dwindled, as most of the resources had been used on the skill to summon the skeleton mage.

Especially after level 15, mental energy is consumed very quickly.

Almost every summon consumes one Desert Fruit.

"It would be great if we could take these fruits out of the instance."

Jiang Chen felt a pang of regret in his heart.

However, desert fruits cannot be stored and cannot be taken out of the copy.

They must be taken within 5 minutes of being picked, otherwise they will lose their effectiveness.

This also means that Jiang Chen cannot harvest and bring out a large number of desert fruits from the instance multiple times.

"However, there are still some left, which is just enough to fill the slots for the skeleton mage."

Jiang Chen decided to fill the long-empty summoning queue. He now had 125 skeleton warriors, 1 skeleton mage, and 74 empty slots in the summoning space.

He swallowed a desert fruit and then began summoning five new skeleton warriors.

In this way, he had 130 skeleton warriors.

Next, he set about summoning the skeleton mage with all his might.

The skeleton mage's attributes are random and cannot be controlled by Jiang Chen.

Amidst a chilling wind, various elements began to vibrate.

There are fire-type, wind-type, electric-type...

Skeleton mages were summoned and appeared around Jiang Chen.

Skeleton mages of different classes possess different skills.

Fire Skeleton Mage: Skill "Exploding Flames": Deals fire elemental damage to the target; attack power is related to spirit.

Ice Skeleton Mage: Skill "Froststorm: Creates an icy storm within an area, dealing ice elemental damage to targets. Attack power is related to spirit."

Anemo Skeleton Mage: Skill "Tornado Storm: Creates a tornado storm within an area, dealing Anemo DMG to the target. Attack power is related to Spirit."

Electric Skeleton Mage: Skill "Thunderbolt": Deals lightning damage to the target; attack power is related to spirit power.

Although they belong to different departments, their attributes are the same; the only difference is their skills.

The fire and electric skeleton mage skills are single-target attacks.

Ice and wind-type skeleton mage skills are area-of-effect attacks.

Its silvery-white body was slightly shorter than that of the skeleton warrior, but the soul fire in its head burned even more intensely.

Elements flowed turbulently within his palms, demonstrating immense power.

Jiang Chen felt that his skeleton mage was enough to instantly kill other mages of the same level.

When the desert fruits were completely used up, the long-empty summoning queue was finally replenished.

130 skeleton warriors, 70 skeleton mages.

A total of 200 skeletons formed a skeleton army.

Jiang Chen felt that he could easily sweep through dungeons of the same level.

Nightmare difficulty? That's no problem.

Even on Hell difficulty, it's no problem at all.

Just like the Tyrant Desert we're in now, a large dungeon that requires 40 people to conquer, I can easily clear it all by myself.

The skeleton army is far stronger than 40 professional warriors.

"Next time I come, I should practice other skills."

There's more than one skill to learn; you also need to learn Bone Armor and Slow Curse.

These two skills are not difficult as long as you have enough mental strength.

The most difficult part is the corpse explosion, since there aren't that many corpses. After the monsters in the dungeon are killed, their corpses disappear after a short while.

Moreover, he cannot overuse his mental energy; he still needs to conserve some for emergencies.

It took about 4 hours to practice the skill.

Jiang Chen has been in the instance for more than 8 hours.

At this point, the terrain inside the ant nest had been initially explored and understood.

The skeleton warriors advanced 2000 meters, thoroughly surveying the area within that range.

Jiang Chen discovered that no matter which entrance he entered from, the interior was actually interconnected.

This is very similar to a spider's nest.

Ant nests are much larger than spider nests, and the 2000-meter-deep ant cave is only a small part of them.

As Jiang Chen entered the cave and the distance closed, the skeleton warriors began to move again. They darted quickly through the cave, scouting the terrain for Jiang Chen.

The ant nest is winding and complex, with countless twists and turns.

Like a vast, boundless maze, it has no end in sight.

Jiang Chen could only choose one direction to move forward.

"Killed a level 26 desert soldier ant, experience +285230"

Obtain 5 ant fangs

Suddenly, I received an unusual message.

Soldier ants appeared somewhere in the cave.

According to the division of labor in an ant colony, worker ants are workers, and soldier ants are warriors.

Soldier ants are responsible for protecting the queen and will not stray far from her.

Finding the soldier ants means the queen ant can't be too far away.

Jiang Chen immediately rushed towards the direction of the soldier ants.

The other skeletons also turned around. The ant nest was gradually explored, and the number of soldier ants increased.

Jiang Chen stepped into an extremely spacious cave.

A large number of soldier ants were awakening inside, and they were only awakened when Jiang Chen entered.

Hundreds of soldier ants awoke simultaneously, shaking their bodies and hissing as they charged toward Jiang Chen.

"Soldier Ant Camp".

Jiang Chen thought of this word.

Ants build nests, and soldier ants form swarms, creating their own unique military camps.

Needless to say, this is it.

Moreover, there is definitely more than one military camp nest.

The skeleton warriors were the first to charge forward, followed by the skeleton mages.

This is the Skeleton Mage's first battle.

Skill: Exploding Flames! Skill: Froststorm!

Skill: Tornado Storm!

Skill: Five Thunderbolts!

Seventy skeleton mages attacked simultaneously.

In an instant, the elements surged, and spells flew wildly.

The cave was filled with constant rumbling sounds and dazzling colors.

Jiang Chen was dazzled by what he saw. By the time the skeleton warriors rushed up to the soldier ants, the ants had already suffered heavy casualties.

The 18000 points of mental power give the Skeleton Mage extremely strong offensive capabilities.

Far surpassing other professionals at the same level.

Even a level 30 professional could not deal as much damage as a skeleton mage. In just over ten seconds, hundreds of soldier ants were slaughtered.

Although it's not as fast as a corpse exploding, it saves effort.

Jiang Chen didn't need to move; he could just stand there and watch the fireworks display.

Indeed, it's quite beautiful; it's something that a corpse exploding can't compare to.

With the appearance of the soldier ant camp, Jiang Chen felt that he had found the right direction.

The team continued to advance and discovered several more soldier ant camps.

The size of the military camps was getting bigger and bigger.

Experience points are surging at an astonishing rate.

It has now reached 32%!

The team pushed forward without any obstacles and finally entered the depths of the ant cave.

A buzzing sound came from my ears.

As the skeleton warrior rounded a corner, he suddenly encountered a swarm of flying ants.

"Desert Flying Ant (Super Enhanced Elite Monster)"

Level: 27 Strength: 6000

Agility: 3000

"Spirit: 3000"

Constitution: 7000

The skeleton warriors reacted swiftly and immediately engaged the flying ants in battle.

Its powerful attribute advantages are undeniable.

Its immense power can inflict massive damage on flying ants, almost fatally.

However, flying ants could hardly inflict any damage on the skeleton warriors.

Its physical constitution is too strong; the flying ants cannot break through its defenses.

A few minutes later, the swarm of flying ants was killed.

"Killed a level 27 desert flying ant, experience +289706"

"Obtained 2 Flying Ant Wings"

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up; the Flying Ant Wings were one of the tasks in the Tyrant Desert.

Each pair of flying ant wings is worth 5000 gold coins.

With flying ants appearing, Jiang Chen was now absolutely certain that he had chosen the right path.

Flying ants can be considered the queen's personal guard and will never stray far from her.

Moreover, the number of flying ants in an ant colony is not particularly large.

At least they won't be as ridiculously numerous as soldier ants and worker ants.

The team continued forward, encountering more flying ants along the way.

Unlike soldier ants, flying ants do not have military camps; they mostly live in groups of three.

The skeleton warriors advanced, killing swarms of flying ants as they went.

Unbeknownst to him, Jiang Chen had been walking through the ant hole for nearly two hours before finally reaching the end.

A giant ant appeared in my sight. This ant was ten meters tall, its body was somewhat bloated, and it looked clumsy.

It has three pairs of huge wings on its back, which flap occasionally, making an unpleasant noise.

There were four ants in front of it.

These four ants were also quite large, standing over six meters tall, and had wings, enabling them to fly.

The ant legs resembled giant scythes, making them look quite terrifying.

"This is the final boss of the dungeon?"

Jiang Chen felt it wasn't quite right, and with some doubt, he cast a detection spell.

The skeleton warriors also rushed out in response.

However, he still had some doubts, wondering if this monster was the final boss of the dungeon...
