I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Lin Yuan stopped, his expression calm. Suddenly, the ground around him cracked open, and five withered, grayish-white hand bones emerged from the soil!

Immediately afterwards, five skeleton soldiers, each wielding a rusty iron sword and with faint soul flames burning in their eye sockets, staggered out.

They caught the scent of the living, made a series of "clicking" sounds, and charged forward with their weapons raised.

【Name: Decaying Skeleton Soldier (Normal Monster)】

[Level: lv22]

【HP: 8500】

【Strength: 650】

[Skill: Heavy Slash]

"Only level 22?"

Lin Yuan shook his head in disappointment. "They are 5 levels lower than me. According to their talents, they can't gain defense points when killing low-level monsters by reflecting damage."

"And experience points will also decrease sharply."

Although it was a bit of a disappointment, every little bit helps, and he still wanted to try to clear the entire dungeon like before.

Perhaps another hidden boss will appear?

Faced with the five menacing skeleton soldiers rushing towards him, Lin Yuan didn't even raise his shield; he just stood there and let them hit him.

when!when!when!

Five rusty iron swords slammed into Lin Yuan's armor.

[-0!] [-0!] [-0!]

And at the very moment the attack took effect.

[Talent Triggered: Eternal Immortality!]

A terrifying recoil force instantly blasted into the skeleton soldier's body along the iron sword!

[Reflect Damage: 4310!]

His current health is 71844 points!

There is no suspense.

Not long after, the skeletons of those five soldiers were pulverized into dust in that instant!

It scattered all over the ground with a clatter.

Sold out instantly!

[Slay the Rotting Skeleton Soldier (lv22)!]

[Experience Points Gained: 150!]

Experience points gained: 150

Looking at the pitiful experience points jumping on the panel.

Lin Yuan sighed.

"So, that's all the experience you have?"

"Never mind, every little bit counts."

With a thought, he allocated all 750 experience points to the skill "Giant Heart".

Compared to doubling his defense, doubling his health is obviously more useful to him.

A flash of light, and the skill level instantly increased.

[Effect: Increases maximum health by 115 for 30 seconds after activation!]

However, just as Lin Yuan was preparing to delve deeper...

Rumble!

The ground beneath their feet suddenly trembled violently, and from the distant gray mist came dense and noisy footsteps—the crisp sound of bones rubbing against the ground.

"roar!"

Accompanied by a chilling, corpse-like wind.

A well-organized legion of skeletons appeared in Lin Yuan's field of vision in a grand procession!

Leading the charge were countless [Rotten Skeleton Soldiers], wielding rusted iron swords or broken spears.

Following closely behind were a dozen or so skeleton heavy cavalrymen riding skeletal warhorses and wielding bone spears, their eye sockets burning with eerie blue soul fire.

At the very back of the procession floated two skeleton wizards dressed in tattered robes and wielding bone staffs!

A rough estimate suggests there are at least a hundred monsters in this wave!

Keep in mind, Lin Yuan has only been in the dungeon for less than three minutes!

If it were any other expedition team, seeing this kind of formation, they would probably immediately set up a defensive formation, considering whether to charge directly or fight and retreat.

But Lin Yuan's eyes lit up.

"Cool!!"

Lin Yuan trembled with excitement: "This is exactly the kind of dungeon we need!"

"With this spawn rate and density, I don't even need to activate [King's Field]!"

"They just came to us!"

This is the leveling paradise he wanted!

This gave him the feeling of "fighting against an army of thousands alone"!

Then, Lin Yuan glanced at the undead.

【Name: Skeleton Heavy Cavalry (Elite)】

[Level: lv26]

【HP: 25000】

【Strength: 1800】

[Skills: Charge, Stomp, Consecutive Thrusts]

Name: Skeleton Wizard (Elite)

[Level: lv28]

【HP: 12000】

[Magic Attack: 2200]

[Skills: Corrosive Fireball, Undead Curse]

Lin Yuan was overjoyed. His level was 25, while these cavalrymen and wizards were all higher level than him!

That way he can gain defensive points!

Afterwards, Lin Yuan removed the Heart of Ten Thousand Devouring Necklace from his body.

As soon as the equipment left his body, Lin Yuan's attributes changed instantly.

Lin Yuan looked at the decreased attributes and nodded in satisfaction.

His logic was simple: those dozen or so cavalrymen and wizards were elite monsters with around 20,000 health points.

If you're wearing the necklace, the counter-damage is over 4300, enough to kill them in four or five hits.

That would be such a loss!

"Reduce the damage, let them live a little longer, and let them hit me a few more times so I can gain more defense points!"

This is the self-cultivation of a wall hanging!

In order to boost stats, they are willing to deliberately weaken themselves!

"Come on, little ones!"

Having done all this, Lin Yuan slammed his shield into the ground and made a universally recognized hand gesture: "Attack me head-on!!"

"kill!!"

The undead army appears to have been provoked.

A dozen skeleton heavy cavalrymen launched the first charge, their hooves thundering and their bone spears, carrying a chilling aura, fiercely thrusting towards Lin Yuan!

The skeleton wizard behind also waved his staff, and two green corrosive fireballs roared towards them!

As for the more than eighty ordinary skeleton soldiers, they overwhelmed Lin Yuan like a tidal wave.

The dense, clanging sounds rang out like the hammering of iron.

Lin Yuan stood rooted to the spot, as steady as a mountain, but the damage was:

-0!

-0!

-0!

At the same time, the damage reflection is triggered!

[Reflect Damage: 3574!]

[Reflect Damage: 3574!]

[Reflect Damage: 3574]

The ordinary skeletons charging at the front were like hitting an electrified high-voltage wall.

In an instant, bones broke and tendons snapped, turning into a shower of bone dust!

That's truly a case of instant death upon contact!

While the skeleton heavy cavalry had a bit more health, they couldn't withstand the high frequency of counter-damage.

Each of their attacks causes their bones to crack from the shock.

Charge! Health is dropping!

Trample! More damage!

Stab again! The damage continues!

In less than ten minutes, the once menacing undead army was quickly melted away.

The battlefield returned to calm, leaving only scattered bones and glittering spoils.

Lin Yuan glanced at the experience and defense point tally and grinned wildly.

"Cool!!"

This single wave alone earned him 28800 experience points and 804 defense points.

"That's the charm of raid dungeons!"

Lin Yuan skillfully cleaned up the battlefield.

They acquired some gold coins, as well as several pieces of [Rusty Refined Iron] and [Soul Dust].

Although the unit price is not high, the volume is large.

"This is just the outer perimeter; there should be even bigger monsters ahead."

Ten minutes later.

Lin Yuan crossed the outer wasteland and arrived at the depths of a huge burial ground.

Here, piles of bones form eerie "bone mountains," and the stench of decay in the air is so strong it's almost tangible.
