Chapter 563 People's skepticism, powerful monsters in the dungeon
Jiang Chen found the surroundings unusually lively today, as if the entire Tianshan Divine Palace was boiling over because of his arrival.
Huo Yuyao's figure stood out in the crowd, while Qiao Zhixin stood quietly beside her, her gaze never leaving Jiang Chen.
Huo Yuyao was as forthright as ever. As soon as she saw Jiang Chen, she greeted him loudly, "Jiang Chen, you've come to join the fun too?" Her voice was full of surprise, as if Jiang Chen's arrival was her greatest reward for the day.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly and nodded in response. His gaze turned to Qiao Zhixin, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes, "Zhixin, long time no see." Qiao Zhixin's eyes sparkled like stars, as if all her emotions were concentrated in those bright eyes, "Yes, long time no see. Thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."
Although Qiao Zhixin is not a combat-oriented professional, her innate combat instincts and the "guaranteed hit" talent she received from Jiang Chen allow her to perform exceptionally well in battle. She knows that all of this is inseparable from Jiang Chen's help.
Jiang Chen gently shook his head. "This is your own hard work. I just did what I should do." He didn't want to talk about it too much because he knew that Qiao Zhixin's achievements were not accidental.
After chatting for a few minutes, Jiang Chen prepared to enter the dungeon. Qiao Zhixin suddenly tugged at his sleeve, "Jiang Chen, can I come with you?" Her voice was full of expectation and longing.
Jiang Chen stopped and looked into Qiao Zhixin's expectant eyes, feeling a little troubled. But thinking of his recent plans, he shook his head. "Zhixin, I probably can't take you this time. I need to improve my strength as soon as possible." A hint of disappointment flashed across Qiao Zhixin's face, but she quickly regained her composure. "It's okay, I understand. Then promise me that when you have time, you must take me to run dungeons."
Jiang Chen nodded. "Of course, I definitely will." His words were full of determination and commitment.
Watching Jiang Chen's departing figure, Huo Yuyao couldn't help but tease him, "Zhixin, Zhixin, Jiang Chen has completely bewitched you."
Qiao Zhixin smiled gently, "I know, but I'm willing." Her voice was soft, but it revealed a firmness.
Huo Yuyao shook her head helplessly, "I really can't do anything with you." Looking at Qiao Zhixin's infatuated expression, she couldn't help but feel a little worried. But she knew that Qiao Zhixin was a sensible person and would handle her feelings well.
The difference in thinking between Qiao Zhixin and Huo Yuyao is quite amusing. Qiao Zhixin thought to herself, "I'd be perfectly content as long as I have the chance to run dungeons with Jiang Chen." Huo Yuyao, on the other hand, shook her head and sighed, "You're hopeless."
A blush rose on Qiao Zhixin's face, and she retorted in a low voice, "I'm beyond saving."
Huo Jifeng, standing to the side, was completely confused. He looked at his sister and Qiao Zhixin, his heart filled with doubt.
"Jiang Shenjiang knows my sister, but their relationship doesn't seem that close. Instead, he talks to Zhixin more often," Huo Jifeng silently analyzed. "Could it be... that Zhixin has feelings for Jiang Shenjiang?"
Huo Jifeng thought about it more and more and felt it was possible. He couldn't help but look at Qiao Zhixin a few more times and found that her eyes were full of tenderness and expectation as she looked at Jiang Chen's back.
"General Jiang doesn't seem to mind Sister Zhixin at all; he even agreed to take her with him next time he runs a dungeon." Huo Jifeng concluded, "It seems that Sister Zhixin has really fallen for General Jiang."
By this time, Jiang Chen had reached the entrance to the dungeon, and his solitary figure attracted the attention of those around him. Under everyone's gaze, Jiang Chen entered the dungeon without hesitation.
"What is he trying to do? Going into a dungeon alone is practically suicide!"
"Perhaps he just wanted to go in and see the scenery."
"Don't joke around, this is a mid-level dungeon. You'll be in combat as soon as you enter. There's no time to enjoy the scenery."
"Let's just wait and see, maybe he'll come out crying in a little while."
The people around them were buzzing with discussion, all waiting to see Jiang Chen make a fool of himself. Ling Xuan also wore a cold smile, all the anger he had felt from being reprimanded by the captain earlier now directed at Jiang Chen.
Huo Jifeng looked in the direction where Jiang Chen had disappeared with some worry, silently praying in his heart, "General Jiang, you must succeed!"
Qiao Zhixin curled her lip and snorted disdainfully, "This level of dungeon is a piece of cake for Jiang Chen." Huo Yuyao echoed, "Although I have never fought alongside Jiang Chen, based on his reputation and strength, I believe he can definitely handle it with ease."
Hearing the whispers around her, Qiao Zhixin thought to herself, "They'll see what it means to be humiliated soon enough."
She stared intently at the entrance to the dungeon, her eyes filled with trust and expectation for Jiang Chen.
The middle section of the Tianshan Divine Palace dungeon is much more difficult than the beginning. There are no safe zones here; players must immediately face combat upon entering the dungeon.
Jiang Chen had just stepped into the dungeon and his vision had barely returned when a huge black shadow suddenly pounced on him. It was a black bear, enormous in size, over five meters tall, like a small mountain.
Following the black bear, other animal shadows flickered, clearly indicating there was more than one monster.
Jiang Chen almost instinctively took flight, his Lightning Undead Wings flapping rapidly to skillfully evade the black bear's pounce. Suddenly, a sharp cry rang out in the air, and a flurry of feathers shot towards Jiang Chen like arrows.
These feathers were incredibly fast, striking Jiang Chen with a series of crackling sounds. However, Jiang Chen's skeletal armor shimmered with light, deflecting each feather attack.
After reaching level 60, Jiang Chen's Bone Armor also received a defensive boost. Although it only provides the equivalent of 6000 points of Constitution, which is relatively weak compared to a mage's shield, its advantage lies in the fact that it can be cast on others and has no cooldown, allowing for continuous use.
With the added boost from Jiang Chen's talent, the Skeleton Armor's defense soared to an astonishing 42. Under the dense barrage of feathers, the Skeleton Armor stood firm like an impregnable fortress, showing no signs of weakness.
Jiang Chen noticed a huge black eagle flying towards him, its feathers being emitted from its body. He was slightly surprised, "It can even reuse such an attack." At that moment, a thick, long black shadow suddenly sprang from the ground, lashing Jiang Chen heavily like a whip. The skeletal armor twisted and wobbled under the impact of this force.
Jiang Chen judged that the power of this attack was considerable, and the opponent's strength attribute was probably over 20. He looked up and saw a huge black python coiled on the ground, its body length estimated to be around 15 meters, and its thickness astonishing.
After a twitch, the python landed again, then sprang up once more. At the same time, the black bear leaped high into the air and pounced on Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen dodged the two attacks with a swift movement. He flicked his fingers, sending out several detection spells to quickly gather information about the monsters. Qiao Zhixin curled her lip and snorted disdainfully, "This level of dungeon is a piece of cake for me."
Outside the instance, members of the Blue Leaf Guild began to whisper among themselves.
Huo Yuyao said, "Although I have never fought alongside Jiang Chen, based on his reputation and strength, I believe he can definitely handle this dungeon with ease." Qiao Zhixin heard the surrounding discussions, and those people were waiting to see Jiang Chen make a fool of himself. She sneered inwardly, "In a moment, they will know what it means to be slapped in the face."
She stared intently at the entrance to the dungeon, her eyes filled with trust and expectation for Jiang Chen.
Inside the instance, Jiang Chen had already detected information about the monsters.
"Tianshan War Eagle (Boss-level Monster)"
"Level: 66"
"Tianshan War Bear (Boss-level Monster)"
"Level: 66"
"Tianshan War Python (Boss-level Monster)"
"Level: 66"
The three detection spells were launched instantly, and without exception, the returned information indicated that the monsters were of the boss level.
Boss-level monsters are a special type of monster in dungeons, with strength equivalent to ordinary-level bosses in the wild. However, as a high-difficulty dungeon, the boss-level monsters in Tianshan Divine Palace are far stronger than ordinary bosses of the same level, and can even rival lord-level bosses.
The difficulty of the middle section of the Heavenly Mountain Divine Palace lies precisely here. Players must face these powerful boss-level monsters as soon as they enter the instance, without any buffer or preparation time.
At this moment, all the pressure was focused on Jiang Chen. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze flashing with determination and confidence, "It's time to test the Skeleton King's true combat power!"
At Jiang Chen's summons, the undead army emerged from the darkness. Immediately afterwards, black mist filled the air, and a skull throne, shimmering with a pale white light and swirling with blood, slowly appeared in the instance.
