Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

On the Gobi Desert, the dark red sky has been completely torn apart by the black abyss rift.

Within the thick black mist, Abyssal Flame Demon Guards continuously swooped down, like a black and red meteor shower.

But for Su Chen, this was a real learning experience.

"Pfft!"

A drop of dark green venom struck a swooping Flame Demon Guard with pinpoint accuracy.

[Characteristic - When triggered by "All Things Corrupt," forcibly applies 1 stack of the "Violent Poison" status.]

[Characteristic - God of Poison Triggered: The target's [Poison] stacks are instantly maxed out.]

"-11685307!"

The true damage reached over 11 million.

The Flame Demon Guard instantly turned into a pool of green water.

[Hint: Defeating a level 30 Abyss Flame Demon Guard, a level above your own, earns you 6000 points and 12000 experience points.]

[Hint: Triggering the [Misfortune Absorption] trait permanently increases the maximum number of poison stacks by 1. Current stack limit: 4218 stacks.]

"That feels good."

Su Chen waved his explosive staff, walking across the Gobi Desert as if taking a leisurely stroll.

Occasionally, a simple wave of the staff can bring in a large amount of experience points.

[Hint: Triggering the [Misfortune Absorption] trait permanently increases the maximum number of poison stacks by 1. Current stack limit: 4219 stacks.]

【hint:……】

[Hint: Triggering the [Misfortune Absorption] trait permanently increases the maximum number of poison stacks by 1. Current stack limit: 4308 stacks.]

System notifications kept ringing in Su Chen's ears.

In just a few minutes, Su Chen had killed nearly a hundred Flame Demon Guards.

But he still felt the efficiency was a bit slow.

"No, this won't work; it's too scattered."

These Flame Guardians were all flying in the air, far apart from each other, so the Bursting Staff's attributes were completely useless.

It flew even higher, exceeding the range of Su Chen and the Corrosive Serpent Guard.

However, experience points are still very valuable.

"If I kill a few more, once I complete the job advancement quest and the experience pool unlocks, I might level up instantly, right?"

Su Chen continued walking forward.

Just as he was getting into the killing spree...

Several figures stumbled out from behind the sand dunes not far away.

It was Zhao Xuan, the top scholar from the capital, and his three teammates.

Their once splendid robes and armor were now tattered and stained with black blood and sand.

The female priest in the group was even empty-handed, probably having lost her staff, and was being dragged forward by a warrior who was holding her arm tightly.

Less than fifty meters behind them, more than fifty Abyss Flame Guardians, their bodies engulfed in black flames, suddenly appeared.

They were wielding giant axes, letting out cruel roars, and unleashing [Fire Demon Charge].

"Captain, my shield is broken!"

"I'm out of mana, I can't heal myself!"

"..."

The warrior and the priestess cried out in despair.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuan's face turned ashen.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Let's fight them! There are no cowards in China who run away. How can we be like spinning tops, letting them whip us around at will?"

Just as they were filled with tragic determination, preparing to turn back and fight to the death.

Suddenly, Zhao Xuan caught a glimpse of Su Chen walking slowly towards them out of the corner of his eye.

"Student! Run!"

Zhao Xuan shouted hoarsely, "This dungeon is in big trouble! These are Abyss monsters, level 30 elite monsters! All four stats are over 1000, we can't possibly defeat them! Run!"

however.

Su Chen acted as if he hadn't heard anything.

His gaze was fixed on the fifty-odd Flame Demon Guards charging towards him, without the slightest fear in his eyes.

On the contrary, I felt a little excited.

Why are you running?

These four people just happened to attract a wave of monsters for him!

"Damn it, this kid's scared out of his wits..."

Zhao Xuan felt a chill run through him.

He drew his weapon, ready to fight the Flame Demon Guard to the death.

Just as the Flame Demon Guard's giant axe was about to strike the heads of the group...

Su Chen gently patted the three dog heads on his waist and raised them high.

"Little one, time to get to work!"

next moment.

"boom--!"

A terrifying sea of ​​fire, more than ten meters high, suddenly erupted, covering an area of ​​fifty meters in front and above.

The fiery abyss of the skull of Cerberus covers a fan-shaped area fifty meters in front of you.

There's no rule that says it can only be placed facing forward.

Su Chen launched this attack directly into the sky.

Instantly.

Fifty Flame Demon Guards in the sky were instantly engulfed by the scorching flames.

"-198"

"-202"

"-200"

"..."

Countless three-digit numbers appeared.

Zhao Xuan was shocked by Su Chen's large-scale AOE skill. After seeing the damage numbers that appeared, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"No, this Abyss debuff is too strong, reducing damage by 90%, it's simply impossible..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

"-11937468!"

"-11940239!"

"-11943010!"

"..."

The terrifying damage numbers floated up.

More than fifty Flame Demon Guards instantly dissolved under the horrified gazes of Zhao Xuan and the others.

Not even a single bone remained; it turned into dark green pus, which poured down from the sky.

[Hint: Defeating 54 level 30 Abyss Flame Demon Guards (above your level) has earned you 324000 points and 648000 experience points.]

[Hint: Triggered trait [Misfortune Drain]... Current floor limit: 4362.]

The wind blows across the Gobi Desert.

A deathly silence fell over the air.

The four members of Zhao Xuan's team remained frozen in place, maintaining their posture of preparing to fight to the death.

Their eyes were practically bulging out of their sockets.

"What...what the hell?"

Zhao Xuan was stunned for a full five seconds before he managed to squeeze out those two words.

A level 30 elite monster with over a thousand four-dimensional stats.

Was he instantly killed?

In just one second... it turned into a puddle of green water?!

Is this a college entrance exam taker?!

Su Chen calmly hung the three dog heads back on his waist.

Cool!

This wave of gains resulted in 32 points and 64 experience points.

It seems we still need to gather the monsters together.

He turned to the four stunned people and asked, "What happened? Why are you running around in such a sorry state?"

He remembered Zhao Xuan; he had consistently ranked among the top in the three recent exams.

A genius from the capital.

The final result was second place nationwide.

If it weren't for Su Chen, that freak, he probably would have been the top scorer in the country.

Zhao Xuan didn't answer. Instead, his legs went weak, and he collapsed onto the sand, panting heavily.

"You...you're that Su Chen?"

The female pastor next to me stammered as she asked.

"Um."

Su Chen nodded slightly and glanced at their condition.

If your health bar isn't full, you've probably run out of supplies.

"Give."

Su Chen casually pulled out a few low-level health potions from his backpack and tossed them over. "Tell me what's going on. These monsters are a bit high-level, but that shouldn't be enough to make you panic like this. Where are your survival items?"

These people... looked like they had just survived a disaster.

That shouldn't be the case.

They were all top scorers in their respective cities; he wouldn't believe they didn't have some means of survival.

Zhao Xuan hurriedly caught the medicine, took a sip, and finally caught his breath.

"We've used them all up."

"We've used up all our life-saving equipment, otherwise we wouldn't have made it this far."

"Moreover, the space is locked! All teleportation items are disabled; we can't get out at all!"

"..."

The soldier beside him, his eyes red, added, "Many people have already died! We just witnessed two assassins from the neighboring city being cleaved in two by the Flame Demon Guards while covering their comrades' retreat. Their bodies were even burned to ashes by the black flames..."

"The number of survivors keeps dropping!"

The pastor covered her face and burst into tears. "I just glanced at the points panel, and the list, which used to have over a thousand people, is now down to less than nine hundred... and it's still dropping..."

"The space is sealed off? And more than a hundred people have died?"

Su Chen frowned slightly.

Someone really died?

He was so focused on killing monsters that he didn't pay attention to the number of survivors in the dungeon.

This is an additional competition for the national college entrance examination.

Those who get in are all top scorers from their respective cities; they are the future hope of Dahua.

Would the state allow monsters from the abyss to slaughter examinees in the examination hall?

Even if it's meant to test extreme survival skills, these abyssal monsters, which are more than ten levels higher than the examinees, are purely a one-sided massacre and have no real significance in terms of testing.

Something's not right.

Su Chen looked up at the black rift in the sky, from which monsters were still pouring out.

He turned his head and looked at Zhao Xuan and the other three who were slumped on the ground.

"What are you planning to do?"

"have no idea."

Zhao Xuan shook his head and said, "The original additional match would have lasted five hours, but now... the time is far from over, and we don't know how to get out."

The pastor suggested, "Shall we find a corner to hide in? The farther away from that crevice, the better!"

The Flame Demon Guards all emerged from that black rift.

Her suggestion makes some sense.

Su Chen shook his head: "Okay, you guys hide. I'm going to the rift."

This rift, for the other candidates, is a danger that could drive them to despair.

But for Su Chen... isn't it just a mysterious food outlet?

Zhao Xuan and the other three were stunned for a full few seconds before finally uttering, "Huh?"

Go to the crack?

Isn't this suicide?

"Do you have a way to close the crack?"

"Oh, no."

Su Chen shook his head and said, "But wouldn't killing all the monsters solve the problem?"

"..."

The group was utterly shocked, their lips twitching, unable to utter a single word.

No, is this even human language?

Zhao Xuan gave a wry smile.

While he was only thinking about how to survive, Su Chen was already thinking about how to kill all the monsters!

Is this the difference?
