Is there a mistake with Chapter 157? Did you choose the wrong difficulty level?
Upon entering the instance, an astonishing scene unfolded before my eyes.
Dark abyssal power surged forth from it, accompanied by a large number of monsters.
These monsters look exactly like the demons of the abyss, exuding a ferocious evil and cruelty.
The demons flew through the air or sped across the ground, some riding enormous, ferocious beasts.
Human professionals stand on the other side, preparing to meet this challenge from the abyss.
Advanced professionals above level 70 were flying in the air, while many more were fighting on the ground. Jiang Chen noticed that these professionals didn't look normal; they seemed like phantoms, giving off an illusory feeling.
This unusual situation also occurred with the Abyss Demons, making both sides appear somewhat illusory and unreal.
The battle unfolded fiercely in the area where black and white met.
Most of the demons in the abyss possess the ability to fly, and even those demons on the ground can take to the air at any time.
This situation puts humans at a disadvantage because they are unable to pursue the flying demons.
Suddenly, a mage raised his staff and shouted, "No air movement!"
In an instant, all the demons, including the human professionals, fell from the sky, leaving behind an empty sky.
Jiang Chen realized that these professionals were not real beings, but rather illusory phantoms.
Then, the mage raised his staff and cast a forbidden spell: "Elemental Cataclysm!" In an instant, the entire instance world was thrown into chaos, and the elemental rampage became uncontrollable.
Hundreds of human mages raised their staffs and unleashed a variety of forbidden spells, aiming directly at the demon.
The demons were severely damaged, and chaos ensued.
At that moment, the Demon King appeared.
The Demon King was enormous, like an ancient demon god. Wherever he stood, he was towering and imposing, fierce and menacing.
The Demon King flapped his wings, unleashing terrifying elemental power that swept across the entire human army.
The battle was extremely intense, with forbidden spells clashing with elemental power, creating dazzling light that flickered throughout the entire dungeon.
Soon after, the light disappeared, and both humans and demons vanished. The entire world transformed into a land of elemental chaos amidst the black and white chaos.
Elemental spirits appeared in this chaotic world. Jiang Chen finally understood that the scene he had just witnessed was showing them a major battle that had once taken place here, and perhaps this was the origin of the Elemental Plains.
Of course, this is just a microcosm of that great war.
The clash between forbidden spells and elements has plunged the entire dungeon world into chaos.
Lin Cai'er stared, feeling dazzled: "Is this the great battle from ancient times?"
Jiang Chen replied in a low voice, "Most likely."
Now that the barriers between the two passages have been removed, they must truly make a choice.
Jiang Chen chose the path leading into the night without hesitation.
This place was tainted by abyssal energy, and he was more interested in this side.
They descended the mountain along the road without incident until they reached the foot of the mountain, where they saw a group of monsters resembling demons from the abyss. Their gaze swept across the landscape, and they realized they had arrived at what appeared to be a plain, devoid of any buildings or cover.
At the deepest part of the plain, there is a giant statue that is 100 meters tall.
That's the end point where the dungeon boss is located.
This is a unique yet simple copy, divided into three parts.
Once you've cleared out all the monsters belonging to the Abyss side, the dungeon is considered cleared.
The skeleton warriors have fully recovered after resting.
Release all 130 skeleton warriors and 100 skeleton mages.
Jiang Chen dared not be careless in the face of the hellish level 30 dungeon.
The Hell difficulty dungeon is so challenging that it's beyond imagination. Generally, only a full 12-person team of level 35 or higher, wearing top-tier gear, will attempt to conquer it.
There's only one person like him who can solo at level 26.
The first monster looks somewhat like the Abyss Wolf Demon.
It was just that it was much larger than any Jiang Chen had ever seen, and when it sat on the blue wolf, it was more than 5 meters tall.
The blue wolf has wings and can take off and fly at any time.
The skeleton warrior charged forward, wielding his greatsword, while the skeleton mage simultaneously unleashed his spell.
A massive amount of magic descended from the sky and overwhelmed them.
A roar erupted as the monster charged out, defying the magical attacks.
"He's not dead yet?"
A concentrated attack from 100 skeleton mages could severely injure even a level 40 high-level demon.
But the monster in front of them only suffered minor injuries.
The detection spell was interspersed within the magic, transmitting back information: "Battlefield Wolf Demon (Hell-level Elite Monster)".
"Level: 34"
Strength: 15000
Agility: 10000
"Spirit: 10000"
Constitution: 15000
"Characteristics: Affected by abyssal energy, defense and vitality are enhanced."
Upon seeing the information about the detection technique, Jiang Chen understood.
The monsters here are closely related to the abyss; in fact, they exist because of the abyss's energy.
Although its level was suppressed, its attributes were not as good as those of a level 40 high-level demon.
It has strong characteristics.
Its defense and vitality have both been enhanced, making it even more powerful in combat. Therefore, even 100 skeleton mages focusing their fire could only injure it, not kill it instantly.
It swung its three-meter-long sword down on the skeleton warrior, producing a metallic clang.
The skeleton warrior paused only slightly, without retreating even half a step.
With the Skeleton Warrior's superior attributes, there's nothing to fear as long as the opponent's attacks don't have special effects.
No matter how high your defense or how strong your health is, it's just a matter of getting hit a few more times.
The skeleton warriors at the front unleashed their skills.
The broadsword, glowing red, struck its body, tearing its skin and flesh apart.
There was no scene of blood spurting out; instead, black mist rose from the wounded area and dissipated into the air.
The battlefield wolf demon felt no pain and completely ignored the attacks that landed on it.
If it were a demon, it would have already felt the pain and fled. Ten skeleton warriors unleashed a barrage of skills simultaneously, and the skeleton mages' second round of focused fire arrived.
This time it didn't make it through.
The battlefield wolf demon made a strange sound, like a balloon being popped.
It was enveloped in black mist and vanished without a trace.
"Killed a level 34 Battlefield Wolf Demon, experience +680000"
The experience gained is very high, much higher than the hellish outpost dungeons.
It is twice as powerful as other Abyssal Demons of the same level.
After all, it's a level 30 dungeon with hellish difficulty, so having this kind of experience is to be expected.
Jiang Chen frowned.
"No body..."
Just like the monsters in the Elemental Plains, there are no corpses, and the Corpse Explosion skill is restricted.
Lin Cai'er frowned as well: "We can't blow it up without a body."
Jiang Chen nodded in agreement.
But the next second Lin Cai'er smiled and said, "Then let's push them over one by one."
The next best thing is to shoot them one by one since they can't be blown up.
The moment you step into this area, the world is completely shrouded in darkness.
Like a world in darkness, without light, visibility becomes extremely poor.
All the light that entered this place was swallowed by darkness.
The only source of light now is the soul fire leaping from the skulls of the skeletons.
A soul-burning aura rose from Jiang Chen's hand, illuminating a small area. A glint flashed in Lin Cai'er's eyes; her assassin skill had already been activated.
Assassins are spirits of the night, and the night is their best companion.
In Lin Cai'er's view, darkness is actually more friendly.
"So many monsters!"
Lin Cai'er let out a soft cry.
She saw monsters hiding in the darkness.
Jiang Chen couldn't see: "You point, I'll hit."
"okay!"
Lin Cai'er responded excitedly.
Ever since she exposed the dragon assassin, she had been nothing more than a decorative figure, but unexpectedly, she was able to play a role here.
Lin Cai'er pointed out the exact locations of each monster, and Jiang Chen immediately ordered the skeleton warriors to charge into battle.
While eliminating them one by one isn't as satisfying as killing them in groups, it's still efficient and safer.
Jiang Chen was also very easy to manage, and didn't need to give any instructions.
As long as Lin Cai'er points out the monster's location, he can just send the skeletons up and slaughter it indiscriminately.
There are so many strange things here, they're everywhere.
Sometimes you might attract several monsters at the same time, but that just requires a little more effort.
Jiang Chen had already discovered that the monsters here were just tougher and more resilient; otherwise, they were nothing special.
While both are on Hell difficulty, this is much easier than the "Dragon Front Outpost" dungeon.
Jiang Chen pushed his way through, gaining experience all the way.
When they reached the halfway point, Jiang Chen's experience had reached 99%, while Lin Cai'er was emitting a white light, having just completed her upgrade.
Lin Cai'er couldn't help but exclaim, "This is Hell difficulty? It's too easy!" "If I hadn't specifically checked the difficulty before coming in, I would have really thought there was a mistake, that I hadn't selected the right difficulty..."
