Chapter 132 Crisis Strikes, Everyone Panics, Horse Racing Sets the Tide
"Ding! You have just entered the 'Minor Enlightenment' state, and your understanding of the Illumination skill has become much deeper."

"Ding! Congratulations! Your F-rank skill, [Illumination], has been upgraded to E-rank, [Light]!"

[Lightening Technique]

Grade: E

Consumes 500 mana points to cast a spell on a designated area or item, creating a 6-meter diameter area of ​​light that lasts for 5 minutes.

Basic Effect 1: Slightly suppresses dark creatures, vampires, werewolves, etc. When the opponent enters the light zone, their attack is reduced by 5%!
Basic Effect 2: When using a skill with a blinding effect on a target that has entered a light-filled area, the trigger probability and duration of the blinding effect will be increased.

"It's done!!"

The information that appeared on the panel finally brought a smile to Lin Hanchuan's face.

Creatures of the night are terrifying. In the darkness, they are like ghosts, appearing and disappearing unpredictably, ready to strike at you from time to time, making it impossible to defend against them.

However, there are also many things that can counter night creatures.

For Lin Hanchuan, the Light spell, which has no cooldown and only consumes mana, is the most cost-effective among them.

none of them.

Lin Hanchuan then raised the Staff of the Desperate One and gently swung it forward.

Upon seeing an area six meters in diameter ahead, instantly illuminated as if it were daytime, Cao Renjie's smile froze.

"Fuck!!"

"Light spell?!"

"Awesome! Awesome!!"

Cao Renjie's eyes widened in shock, and he immediately turned to look at Lin Hanchuan. This was a bit strange.

Half an hour ago, Lin Hanchuan had already triggered the "Minor Enlightenment" state.

Now it's happening again.

It's important to know that even if a player's comprehension value reaches 20 points, meeting the threshold for triggering minor comprehension, it's not something that can be triggered easily.

It triggers once every three to five days, upgrading one skill.

That's already a blessing from our ancestors.

Lin Hanchuan's frequency of triggering this was no longer just a matter of ancestral blessings, but rather he had directly become the ancestor himself.

There is only one reason why this might happen.

Cao Renjie's eyes suddenly became ambiguous, and he whispered.

"Boss, I want to ask you something."

"What is it?" Lin Hanchuan was busy using his illumination spell to dispel the surrounding darkness in preparation for the nocturnal creatures that were about to appear, and he didn't have time to look at Cao Renjie.

"Is there some trick to triggering Xiao Wu?"

Long Xiaochen and Long Xiaoyue also came over.

They all seemed very curious.

"No, it's purely based on luck. If you're handsome, the chances of triggering it are higher."

Lin Hanchuan replied calmly.

However, he is also summarizing.

The frequency of triggering Xiao Wu's abilities has indeed been a bit high lately.

Although there is a bit of mystery involved in this matter.

But there must be a triggering factor!

After casting the Light spell, which illuminated an area of ​​about ten meters, Lin Hanchuan glanced at the Luck value on his panel.

He suspected that luck and comprehension were working together.

Just at this time.

3! 2! 1!

The countdown to the fourth phase of the Endless Beast Tide – The Ultimate Night – has ended.

The expressions of the members of the Heavenly Path Squad immediately became wary.

Cao Renjie, holding a shield, stood guard in front.

Long Xiaochen instructed the Queen Insect to accelerate the production of centipedes, so that the centipedes could quickly cover the current scene.

Long Xiaoyue had her erhu resting against her hip, ready to play a tune at any moment.

But at this moment, the surroundings remained completely silent, with no other sounds except for the sounds of the numerous centipedes moving around.

Everything was deathly silent.

Lin Hanchuan looked around, but there was still no trace of any dark creatures within the range of his soul perception.

"I need to increase the lighting!" Lin Hanchuan muttered to himself as he continued waving his staff.

One after another, the spells of light, like flares, streaked across the dark night sky and landed further away.

The throwing distances of Light and Illumination spells are roughly the same.

The furthest distance is 50 meters.

The darkness was ignited by the light, circle by circle.

Under the light spell that does not require cooling.

Less than a minute.

This creates a light-illuminating area with a diameter of over one hundred meters.

The entire Heavenly Path Squad was located in the center of the illuminated area.

"No movement!" Long Xiaochen looked around and saw no other creatures except for the ground covered with centipedes.

"Will they..."

Halfway through his sentence, Long Xiaochen suddenly looked up at the sky.

Cao Renjie raised his shield high.

Long Xiaoyue was also staring intently.

In my soul's perception, a creature appeared in the sky to the left.

Lin Hanchuan, who was the fastest to act, had already waved his staff and launched a burst arrow, while also casting a light spell.

The Light spell can only be used when attached to an object; it cannot hover independently in the air. Most of the time, players apply the Light spell to an object to create a continuously moving "torch."

If no specific object is attached, the Light spell will default to the landing point on the ground as the target of the spell the moment it lands.

The Explosive Arrow, enhanced by the Light spell, streaked across the sky like a shooting star, illuminating everything around it.

Soon, a strange, thin human appeared in everyone's eyes. He was only about 1.5 meters tall, skin and bones, holding a curved knife in his hand. His two eyes, which were about to bulge out of their pupils, were staring intently at Lin Hanchuan and the others.

【Dark Night Swordsman】

Level: 15

Rank: Elite

Blood volume: 4500
Attack: 500-1500
Note: One of the most common creatures among the night creatures, it has the ability to jump over extremely long distances. When it spots its prey, it will stealthily approach and then leap over an extremely long distance to launch an attack from the sky!
boom! !

Bang bang!!
628!
-
712!

……

Before the Dark Night Blade Master could finish reading all the information, it was blasted into dust in mid-air by several explosive arrows that followed up from Lin Hanchuan.

"Ding! Successfully killed a level 15 elite Night Blade Master, gaining 3000 experience points. This kill is the first kill of this Night Blade Master in this level dungeon, so an additional 3000 experience points are gained. Team action grants an additional 50% experience point bonus, so an additional 1500 experience points are gained!"

You have gained 1875 experience points!

Upon hearing the system notification, Cao Renjie immediately turned his head and looked at the sky to his right, exclaiming, "There's more!!"

"There's one here too!" Long Xiaochen looked behind him, then to his left. "It's appeared on the left as well!"

In Lin Hanchuan's perception, more than twenty Dark Night Blademen instantly appeared in the surrounding sky.

They launched a surprise attack on the center of the Heavenly Dao Squad from all directions.

In addition, at the edge of the light spell's illumination, figures completely shrouded in black robes appeared, carrying daggers and moving at incredible speed on the ground centipedes.

Night Assassin

Level: 15

Rank: Elite

Blood volume: 2800
Attack: 1000-2500
Note: Among the creatures of the night, they are among the most skilled assassins. Their blades possess not only extremely high critical strike potential but also poison. Be careful not to get touched by their blades, or your health may be instantly depleted.

There are more than thirty Night Assassins!
Whoosh whoosh! !

One after another, cold arrows shot from the darkness beyond the reach of the light spell, striking Cao Renjie's barrier.

While Cao Renjie quickly replenished the barrier's depletion using the Mad Bull Set, he also kept a close eye on the massive, mountain-like figures behind the Dark Night Assassin.

With each step they took, a black halo rapidly spread outwards from the point where their feet landed.

The centipedes on the ground, upon touching those black halos, began to die in droves, utterly powerless to resist.

[Night Warrior]

Level: 15

Rank: Elite

Blood volume: 12000
Attack: 100-500
Note: Tank-type monsters are the most common type of monsters in the dark world. They have high defense and health, and each one is a thick wall. They have a powerful stomp attack ability against low-level monsters.

More than twenty Night Warriors appeared.

Lin Hanchuan took a deep breath.

The amazing thing is that wherever the Night Warriors walked, the light spell would instantly disappear.

It's as if someone holds a switch; with just a light press, darkness can descend once more.

Lin Hanchuan knew that this was not a skill possessed by the Dark Knight.

As Lin Hanchuan rapidly swept away the Dark Night Blade Masters falling from the sky with explosive arrows, he also kept a close eye on the back of the Dark Night Warrior.

On the edge of light, in the shadows of darkness, followed a group of men about the same height as the Night Blade Master.

Using the Dark Knights as shields, they followed forward, constantly unleashing skills to quickly annihilate Lin Hanchuan's light spells.

"And there's a sorcerer too!!"

Lin Hanchuan felt a tightness in his chest; he was far from at ease.

Under normal circumstances, nocturnal creatures are usually very cautious.

When facing hostile targets, they usually conduct two or three small-scale probing attacks first to understand the opponent's strengths and weaknesses before launching a full-scale attack.

But at this moment, as the fourth phase of the [Endless Beast Tide] began, hundreds of dark creatures participated in the siege.

"Are they trying to finish this quickly?"

The fastest night assassin had already reached the edge of the barrier, his figure moving rapidly.

Beneath their long black robes, they stared intently at Lin Hanchuan with their dark eyes.

The remaining Night Blade Masters who hadn't been killed yet also descended from the sky, wielding curved blades and stabbing directly at the barrier released by Cao Renjie.

A dozen or so night-dark swordsmen.

A single strike can grind down hundreds or thousands of barrier layers.

Tsk tsk tsk! !

Further away, the number of arrows flying from the darkness was increasing, along with several spell orbs.

All of these attacks landed on the barrier, causing cracks to appear.

"Star, I can't hold on much longer, please pray for me!" Cao Renjie of Alexander immediately released a second barrier while calling for help from Star.

The stars, already prepared, clasped their hands together.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have received a 'Blessing of Wishes' from the stars, gaining: Shield Enhancement, shield strength doubled; Shield Double Enhancement, shield strength doubled again; and your own defense increased by 30%!"

The system notification sound greatly reduced Cao Renjie's stress.

At the same time, the barrier he released appeared to be more solid, and the Night Blade Master's strikes no longer caused it to shake.

Lin Hanchuan wasn't idle either.

Bang bang bang! !

A barrage of explosive arrows was fired, quickly clearing out the surrounding night swordsmen.

However, these Night Blademen seemed inexhaustible; just as they had killed one circle, more than a dozen more jumped in from the sky.

They repeated their previous actions, wielding their scimitars and hacking at the barrier relentlessly.

The Night Assassins were still circling around the barrier, waiting for the moment it would break so they could rush in.

The Dark Knights, moving extremely slowly in the distance, were now less than twenty meters away from Lin Hanchuan and his group.

Within twenty meters of this, within the range of soul perception, were countless figures of dark creatures.

There are at least two hundred!

Moreover, the number continues to increase over time.

Tsk tsk tsk! !

The most obvious change is that the number of arrows and magic orbs landing on the barrier has increased significantly.

If this continues, in less than a minute, Lin Hanchuan and his group will be overwhelmed by the swarms of dark creatures.

"Since you want a quick victory, then I'll play along!"

After Lin Hanchuan used Explosive Arrow to kill another Night Blademaster, he let out a heavy sigh of relief. The speed at which he killed monsters was nowhere near the number of monsters surging up.

So far, the kill efficiency has been quite good.

In less than a minute, more than 30 Night Blademasters had been killed, triggering numerous blinding effects in the process.

However, given the current frenzied attack by the night creatures, there simply isn't enough time left to complete the task of killing nearly seventy more.

Lin Hanchuan glanced back at the stars, then took out the [Starfire Scroll].

It was given to me by Morris when I did the Berserker Archmage quest, and I still have one chance to use it.

Faced with so many night creatures, when they all pounced on him, Lin Hanchuan could summon the Holy Sword with his right hand and the Despairer with his left, and with the help of level advantage, he could secure the final kills.

But the stars might be dangerous.

The stars must not be harmed.

This was a shared idea of ​​Lin Hanchuan and Cao Renjie.

Just as Lin Hanchuan was about to unfurl the [Spark Scroll], the sound of an erhu suddenly rang out.

Long Xiaoyue, who had remained silent throughout the battle, finally made her move, pressing her gold-grade erhu against her hip and gently pulling it.

“la-mi-sol-la-mi-sol…”

The stirring melody of "Horse Racing" surged forth from the erhu, resounding through the night.

As the pulling speed gradually increased, invisible ripples quickly spread outwards from Long Xiaoyue's center, condensing in the air into rows of transparent, majestic horses.

Xiao Xiao!
With a long neigh, the horses descended from the sky and charged towards the surrounding creatures of the night.

The moment the figure pierced through the body of the night creature, the creature was struck as if by lightning and stood frozen in place, completely motionless!
Long Xiaochen and Cao Renjie were both stunned.

So many creatures of the night were actually controlled by a horse racing song.

The intensity of the musicians exceeded their expectations.

"The sound produced by playing the horse racing tune on the erhu can cause targets of lower rank than me to fall into a state of temporary dizziness."

"A high-quality erhu can transform the sound of a horse racing tune, producing a simulation of the horse's form and enhancing the dizzying effect on a group of people, much better than I expected."

"However, this song has a six-hour cooldown and consumes an extremely large amount of mana, so I can only use it at this time."

"Hurry up, we're almost halfway through this piece!"

Long Xiaoyue explained.

The horse racing tune played in their hands grew louder and louder, and more and more horses galloped out, turning the scene into a racetrack. The creatures of the night were left to be swept along by these wild horses.

Bang bang bang! !

Upon hearing the horse racing music, Lin Hanchuan immediately put away the scroll and calmly used explosive arrows to quickly eliminate the Night Blademan and Night Assassin.

The nearby crops have been harvested.

Lin Hanchuan then targeted the sorcerers hiding behind the Dark Knights.

Although they weren't under the light spell, their figures were almost immediately locked onto by Lin Hanchuan's soul perception.

One after another, explosive arrows soared through the air and hurtled towards the sorcerer.

Bang bang bang! !
-
781!
-
812!

……

As a Night Elf creature with even lower health than the Night Assassin, the Trickster could be killed by Lin Hanchuan with almost three arrows.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully killed a level 15 Lord-level Trickster..."

You have gained 3254 experience points!

You have gained 3254 experience points!

……

With such a flurry of notifications about experience points being credited, Lin Hanchuan's level increased once again.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully reached level 19, triggering the Berserker Archmage class trait: base attributes +3, free attributes +6, and intelligence +1!"

Lin Hanchuan had no time to open his personal panel and allocate skill points amidst the system notifications.

It wasn't until the horse racing song that Lin Hanchuan achieved his 100th kill of a dark creature.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully killed a level 15 elite Dark Knight..."

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully killed 100 night creatures and cleared the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon. The fourth wave of the beast tide—[Ultimate Night]!"

"Receive the fourth stage reward: "
All members: Experience points +1.7, Stamina +1, Gold +8000!

Team: Dark Night Crown!

As the system voice sounded.

The extreme darkness began to recede, revealing a lush green forest and an endless blue sky.

The overwhelming array of dark creatures in the field of vision silently disappeared amidst layers of mosaic.

The horse racing song has already ended.

Having exhausted her mana, Long Xiaoyue immediately took out a blue potion and drank it. Cao Renjie and Long Xiaochen were still staring at the erhu in Long Xiaoyue's hand, recalling the scene of "ten thousand horses galloping" just now.

That's so cool!!

The stars, due to their continuous prayers, were somewhat listless and looked like they were about to fall asleep.

Lin Hanchuan, who seemed completely unaffected, took out the Dark Night Crown that had just arrived from his backpack.

A golden crown, its base adorned with inscriptions drawn in black lines, vaguely revealing the silhouettes of various night races—night warriors, night assassins, night swordsmen…

There is a groove on each side and in front of the crown.

There are three grooves in total.

It has one more groove than the Desperate Ones that Lin Hanchuan has.

"A top-quality gold piece with three grooves!"

Lin Hanchuan immediately checked the information through the system.

【Crown of the Night】

Level: 15

Quality: Gold +11
Basic effects: When equipped, maximum mana +1000, health +500, mana regeneration speed +50%, strength +10, stamina +10, agility +20, intelligence +20, spirit +30, spell damage: 200 +10%, critical strike rate +10%.

Gemstone Groove: 0/3
Equipped Skills: [Command], [Invisibility]

[Commander]: Rank D. When facing elites or lower-ranking night creatures, the commander has absolute control and can directly enslave up to two night creatures.

[Invisibility]: D-level skill. When the ambient light level is below 10, you will enter invisibility for 10 minutes. Cooldown: 30 minutes.

Note: If the light intensity is less than 10, nothing can be seen beyond 10 meters.

Required Classes: Mage, Druid, Priest, Trickster, Musician...

Assembly requirements: Intelligence greater than 80 points

"This is truly top-quality gold equipment!"

After reading the information about the [Dark Night Crown], Lin Hanchuan reiterated his previous evaluation. After obtaining Cao Renjie and the others' approval, Lin Hanchuan put it on directly.

The crown doesn't have to be worn on your head; you can put it in your backpack and select "Equip".

At this moment, the announcement for the fifth phase of the [Endless Beast Tide] arrived.

"Ding! Please note that in 5 minutes, the fifth wave of beasts will appear, which is also the last wave of the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide] - [Blood Spread]. Please survive this phase for 1 hour, or kill the final BOSS - King of Slaughter!"

4 minutes and 59 seconds!
4 minutes and 58 seconds!
……

In the system prompt.

Lin Hanchuan breathed a sigh of relief, "The Endless Beast Tide has finally reached its final stage!"

While the entire Heavenly Path Squad waited.

Outside the [Endless Beast Tide] instance.

Hundreds and thousands of players waited at the dungeon portal, eagerly anticipating the arrival of the new instance.

"They'll be out soon, right?"

"It should be soon! Just now on the level leaderboard, the entire Heavenly Path Team has reached level 19. Based on the experience gained from level 15 Shura-level Endless Mode dungeons in other regions, the Heavenly Path Team should be nearing the end of the [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon. They're most likely in the final stage, and less likely in the penultimate stage. I estimate they'll all be level 20 when they leave the dungeon!"

"Holy crap, level 20?! Their leveling speed is insane! [Endless Beast Tide] is just a level 15 dungeon!"

"What's so surprising? This is the highest difficulty Shura-level dungeon in the level 15 [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon. Killing any monster in there will give you extra first-kill rewards, killing one is equivalent to killing two. The monsters are also high-ranking, starting with elites, and there are quite a few lords. The final BOSS is very likely to be a general-level one. Isn't it normal to be able to get a lot of experience to level up?"

"Brother, don't be envious. This is the treatment of top players. If you have the strength, you can also enter other Shura-level dungeons. No one will stop you. On the contrary, if you succeed, everyone will congratulate you."

"This is so unfair. We work ourselves to the bone all day, and it's not even as good as them spending an hour or two in a Shura-level dungeon."

"If you think it's unfair, you can appeal to the official Descent team. What are you yelling at me for? If you're still not happy, you can go and have a one-on-one fight with the Heavenly Dao Team and prove yourself!"

The area outside was very noisy.

Everyone watched the level changes on the ranking list, waiting for Lin Hanchuan and the others to leave the dungeon.

There were also a very few who expressed dissatisfaction.

In other regions, they are basically veteran players, just veterans who have played for a long time, but they are still far from being elite players.

I was hoping to switch to a new server so I could quickly level up and regain my former glory, but I didn't expect that after only two days, I would be suppressed by the even more outrageous Lin Hanchuan and his group.

Naturally, I felt extremely unbalanced inside.

However, they were just talking; if they were really asked to fight the Heavenly Dao Squad in a real battle, very few of them would have the guts.

Unless you've already received the money.

Among the crowd, there were about a dozen players staring intently at the portal, their eyes gleaming with predatory intent.

They even created a special group chat just for Lin Hanchuan.

[Killer Chat Group]

"Arakawa White Owl is already level 19, he should be out soon. Everyone remember what you need to do next, and don't make any mistakes. There are still a few who haven't arrived yet, hurry up!"

"Boss, there are so many people around. What if someone gets accidentally injured?"

"It's just accidental killing, why are you so worried? We just need to achieve our goal. As for those players who were accidentally killed, do you really think they'd dare to seek revenge against us?"

"Right now, Arakawa White Owl is getting a lot of attention online. Even my big-shot friends in other regions specifically asked me about Arakawa White Owl after they found out I'm a player from Wangyue City."

"Everyone's saying that Arakawa White Owl is a night owl, is that really true?"

"Why are you all so curious? All you need to know is that if we just kill him, we can reap both fame and fortune!"

"The power rankings have changed! Moonlight Cold from the Heavenly Dao Squad has risen to fourth place!"

……

……

In the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon.

"I've just mastered another piece of music!"

After Long Xiaoyue reaches level 19, her musician profession traits are activated, allowing her to have another piece of music as a skill.

"Sis, what did you learn?" Long Xiaochen asked quickly.

Cao Renjie and Lin Hanchuan also looked over.

Everyone witnessed Long Xiaoyue's performance in the battle.

Musicians can be so powerful at crucial moments that they can turn the tide with a single piece of music.

Therefore, everyone is quite curious about the new piece of music that Long Xiaoyue has mastered.

"Erquan Yingyue!" Long Xiaoyue replied, "In terms of the system's skill description, it's no less impressive than the Horse Racing Song!"

"Not bad, not bad!!" Long Xiaochen had never seen Erquan Yingyue performed during the descent, but he was very familiar with the entire piece.

Lin Hanchuan nodded as well.

He doesn't know much about how real music is performed in the descent, but generally speaking, the performances of world-famous pieces are very good.

The more people playing the same piece, the greater its power.

In her previous life, the 108 Women's Quarters collectively performed a "Ode to the Yellow River," causing the Yellow River to cascade down from the heavens, shaking the earth and the world. In full view of everyone, they forcefully killed a demigod.

If necessary, Lin Hanchuan was even thinking about whether he could establish a band within the guild in the future.

1 minutes and 01 seconds!
1 minutes and 00 seconds!
When the countdown reaches one minute.

"Boss, the world has changed!" Cao Renjie suddenly said.

Lin Hanchuan looked up at the sky.

From afar, a faint crimson hue is spreading, gradually covering the entire sky.

The vegetation in the woods began to turn yellow and shed its leaves, and a bleak chill filled the air.

The grass under my feet had, I don’t know when, turned into a bare, hard red mud.

Ho ho ho! !

A series of shouts, unlike human voices, echoed from the desolate forest.

The scene in which the Heavenly Path Squad finds itself changes drastically.

The sky seemed to have been repeatedly drenched in the blood of countless corpses, with crimson clouds forming a thick curtain. Withered branches, like broken bones, pierced the blood-red sky, and the twisted maple trees, stripped of their leaves, swayed in the wind, making a sound like bones rubbing against each other, as if thousands of hanged corpses were colliding with each other.

The entire forest was bathed in a rusty halo, dark red sap seeping from the cracks in the ground, and dried blood crystals congealing into coral-like forms on the withered grass. The air was thick with the metallic scent of metal particles; every breath felt like swallowing a dense fog laced with iron filings. In the distance, the rumble of trees falling echoed, the blood-soaked humus trembling, and desiccated corpses clad in dark red armor emerged from the cracks.

Ho ho ho! !

They were howling with excitement in the forest.

They seemed to be cheering for seeing the light of day again, and they seemed to be cheering for the killing that was about to begin.

"A murderer!"

Cao Renjie looked ahead and said in a low voice, "There are quite a lot of them!"

"Scared!?" Long Xiaochen teased.

"What's there to be afraid of!" Cao Renjie retorted directly. "Damn it, I killed so many of these guys back in District 1, let alone the low-level killers we're facing now."

Long Xiaochen smiled and did not refute.

Because what Cao Renjie said is true.

When the Night Owl Squad was first established in Zone 1, in order to quickly level up and catch up with the players ahead of them, they often ran killing-type dungeons for several weeks in a row.

Facing all sorts of monsters that kill.

The main advantage is the large quantity, which provides a lot of experience and allows for fast leveling up!

Seeing these hordes of killers emerging from the decaying forest vegetation, they felt no fear whatsoever, and even a sense of nostalgia for the past.

At that time, it was a team of ten people.

Everyone shares the same goal: to become the strongest team in Zone 1.

Unfortunately, people's hearts cannot withstand the test of time. In the end, some scattered, some left, and some betrayed.

"Roar!!"

From deeper within the forest came an extremely loud shout, drowning out all the sounds of the killers.

Immediately after that sound, the killers seemed to have their fate choked, falling silent collectively, but their speed of action increased.

One by one, the killers quickly crawled out of the rotting vegetation, taking various steps and wielding various weapons, and walked towards Lin Hanchuan and his group.

But Lin Hanchuan's gaze passed over these murderers and looked deeper into the forest.

Boom boom boom! !

One after another, large trees were snapped in two as a gigantic figure charged toward them, each step he took causing a tremendous tremor.

That's the King of Slaughter, the final boss of the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide]!
Soon, Lin Hanchuan spotted the figure of the King of Slaughter.

It was a humanoid creature over three meters tall, with a face as pale as a corpse, eyes completely red, and pupils like solidified blood crystals, staring blankly at Lin Hanchuan and the others.

The King of Slaughter, draped in a scarlet cloak, moved at breakneck speed, the cloak billowing even without wind, like a surging sea of ​​blood obscuring the forest behind him.

He wore a ferocious bull-horned helmet, with a huge magic ruby ​​embedded on the top, reflecting a scarlet light. He was dressed in black heavy armor, with shoulder armor patterns that flowed like lava, capable of swallowing the normal spectrum, shrouding his entire body in a blood-red shadow.

The King of Slaughter was incredibly powerful, like a tiger emerging from the forest. Wherever he passed, the killers scattered to both sides.

"I have to say, this guy looks incredibly cool every time he makes an appearance," Cao Renjie commented. "However, if I had his physique and his gear, I'd walk around with my nose in the air."

Time was counting down second by second.

However, none of the members of the Heavenly Path Squad showed the slightest bit of tension when facing the final boss.

Long Xiaochen glanced at the King of Slaughter and said with a smile, "If you run the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon a few more times, get a set of the King of Slaughter set, get a gigantic skill, and then do some makeup on you, you'll look about the same."

"Go away, go play somewhere else!" Cao Renjie said disdainfully.

At this point, the countdown ended.

Ho ho ho! !

The killers who had been waiting outside the barrier in the battle area surged in like a tide, heading straight for Lin Hanchuan and his group.

Cao Renjie simply erected a shield as a sign of respect for the final wave of monsters in the Endless Beast Tide.

Long Xiaochen was still chatting, "A level 15 Killing King, with our captain's strength, one minute should be enough, right?"

"More or less!" Cao Renjie said indifferently, watching Lin Hanchuan fly on his sword and charge towards the King of Slaughter.

On the Holy Sword, Lin Hanchuan looked at the King of Slaughter who was surging in with the Slaughterers, and couldn't help but shake his head and say, "I really didn't expect that the final BOSS of the [Endless Beast Tide] would be the King of Slaughter!"

In Zone 1, he has already killed hundreds or thousands of Killing Kings.

I'm almost sick of killing.

The King of Slaughter is one of the few bosses he can kill without any pressure during his arrival!

It only takes four steps to kill him.

Concave in front, bald at the top, cracked at the back, and chrysanthemum-killing!

Upon reaching the top of the King of Slaughter, Lin Hanchuan didn't even glance at the other party's information before waving his staff. Ice spikes fell from the staff and smashed into the armor on the King of Slaughter's chest.

Bang bang bang! !
-
215!
-
242!

……

The damage value is also not high, only a little over three hundred.

But after throwing six ice spikes in a row and seeing a dent appear on the armor on the King of Slaughter's chest, he immediately changed direction and attacked his helmet.

It took more than a dozen ice picks to knock the helmet off his head.

Lin Hanchuan didn't continue, and then attacked the King of Slaughter's back, after which a crack appeared.

The moment Lin Hanchuan leaped off the Holy Sword in mid-air, he directly controlled the Holy Sword and headed towards the King of Slaughter's rear end.

boom! !

An explosion occurred the instant the holy sword struck the King of Slaughter's rear area.

The King of Slaughter clutched his anus, looked up at Lin Hanchuan who had just unleashed an infinite barrier and landed among the Slaughterers, and then collapsed heavily to the ground.

The system's kill notification sounded.

"Ding! Successfully defeated the level 15 general-level BOSS - King of Slaughter, gaining 20,000 experience points. This kill is the first kill of this King of Slaughter in this level dungeon, so an additional 20,000 experience points are gained. Team action grants an additional 50% experience point bonus, so an additional 10,000 experience points are gained!"

"Ding! You have gained 12500 experience points!"

The whole process takes less than 40 seconds.

It is the fastest to complete among the five stages of the [Endless Beast Tide].

Concave in front, bald at the top, cracked at the back, and chrysanthemum-killing!

These four steps were summarized by Lin Hanchuan after killing hundreds or even thousands of Killing Kings.

As for the specific reasons behind it...

And the impact of each step on the King of Slaughter.

Like most players who have mastered BOSS strategies, Lin Hanchuan has no interest in studying them and will not do so.

All you need to know is that by following these four steps, you can kill the King of Slaughter.

With the death of the King of Slaughter, the bodies of the summoned Slaughterers began to be covered by mosaics, turning into fragments of light that disappeared from the current battle scene.

"Boss, this time was easy!"

Cao Renjie shouted loudly to Lin Hanchuan.

Lin Hanchuan smiled and nodded.

Immediately following, the system notification sounded for the first clear of the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon.

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully leading three teammates to the first clear of the Asura-level [Endless Beast Tide]!"

"Ding! Please note that according to the reward distribution method before entering the dungeon, you will receive all the rewards for the first clear of this Shura-level [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon!"

"Ding! Congratulations! You have obtained the first clear reward for the Shura [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon: 3 experience points, 2 gold coins, 500 reputation points, a beginner-level Slaughter Certificate, the Slaughterer (title), and the right to the rewards of the [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon."

The reward list once again included proof of killing.

Lin Hanchuan showed no surprise.

One way to obtain the Killing Proof is to get the first kill on the King of Slaughter.

He took out the evidence of the killing from his backpack.

[Proof of Slaughter]

Quality: One-time use, basic special item

Effect: After equipping this item, killing players and NPCs will not incur a red name penalty.

Maximum: 100 people

Just like the drops from the boss in the Goblin Cave, it's still a basic item.

However, the previous book is almost finished.

This one is just a good substitute.

There is also the title of Killer.

This isn't something you get just for clearing the Endless Beast Tide for the first time; you need to get the first kill on the King of Slaughter within three minutes to receive it.

It's still quite difficult.

[The Killer]

Level: Beginner

Increases attack power against humanoid creatures by 2%, defense by 2%, and life steal by 5%.

Note: This title can be improved by killing more killing-type monsters.

Lin Hanchuan only glanced at the information about the killers before his gaze fell on the profit rights of the [Endless Beast Tide].

[Rights to Profits from the Endless Beast Tide Dungeon] - In the future, all gains obtained by players in the [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon will be evaluated by the system, and 10% of the total value will be automatically deducted from the profits. These profits will be converted into Descent Currency and directly deposited into the account of the right holder.

Friendly reminder: The right to dungeon rewards is not a bound right; it can be freely bought and sold, traded to other players, or traded to the system.

Reference price for the right to income: 321,522 gold coins!

The figure of 32 is higher than the combined figures of the previous two dungeons, Goblin and Trap Corridor.

Lin Hanchuan was very satisfied and sold it immediately.

"Ding! Please note that you are currently applying to sell the proceeds from the [Endless Beast Tide]. The system estimates the value at 321,522 gold coins. Do you agree to the selling price?"

Lin Hanchuan immediately confirmed it.

"Ding! Congratulations! You have successfully sold the profit rights to the [Endless Beast Tide] dungeon and received 321,522 gold coins. The currency has been transferred to your personal account. Please check it."
