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

Three hours later, the shuttle's notification sound rang.

[Notice: We have arrived at our destination and are preparing to land.]

"Get ready for docking. Everyone, check your equipment and props."

Lu Qingyan stood up, and with a flash of light in her hand, the heavy tower shield reappeared.

The hatch opened, and a gust of wind carrying the stench of decay and blood rushed in.

Below was a ruin surrounded by a makeshift camp and towering metal defensive walls.

Countless armed former military personnel are busy setting up various instruments and weapons.

A ghastly green mist hung in the air.

Several officers in military uniforms quickly approached.

"The elite team from Sky Dome Academy? This way, the passage has been cleared for you."

The leading officer quickly checked Lu Qingyan's ID card, his expression grave: "The situation is bad. The poison gas is spreading outwards. The purification array at the front line won't hold for long. You only have four hours to defeat the BOSS and close the abyss passage."

The officer led them through multiple lines of defense to a massive black portal of light.

The space around the portal was violently distorted, and pale green venom dripped from the portal frame from time to time, making a hissing sound as it hit the ground and corroding deep pits.

Su Chen cast a scouting spell on the dungeon portal.

Eye of the Poison Swamp

[Dungeon Rarity: Hard]

[Dungeon Level: 20-25]

[Number of players: Maximum 5]

[Dungeon Time Limit: Complete within 4 hours]

[Special Mechanism: This instance has been abyss-ified, and its interior is extremely unpredictable]

……

A difficult dungeon for levels 20-25, with a 4-hour time limit to complete.

Lin Wei raised her staff, casting a soft white light shield around herself and her teammates.

Su Chen's status now includes a new status.

[Shield of Light: Gain 2850 points of Light attribute shield, lasting 10 minutes.]

It can absorb 2850 points of shield, and the duration is 10 minutes.

The value is quite high. A typical level 20 priest can only heal for a few hundred points in one go.

They truly deserve to be called elites of the Sky Dome Academy.

of course.

Compared to the shield attached to Su Chen's Abyss Dragon Language Robe, it was nothing.

"Enter."

Without a word, Lu Qingyan held the tower shield in front of her and was the first to step into the portal.

Chen Feng followed closely behind, drew his demonic sword, and before going inside, he didn't forget to turn back and give Su Chen a cold glance.

As Su Chen followed behind Song Xin through the black light gate, a strong, nauseating stench assaulted his nostrils.

As far as the eye could see, there was a dark green swamp.

There was no sun in the sky, only thick, leaden-gray poisonous clouds, and occasional drops of dark green acid rain fell, carving out craters that emitted white smoke in the muddy water.

[Notification: You have entered the Hard difficulty dungeon, Eye of the Poisonous Swamp (Abyss Mode)!]

[WARNING: The current dungeon has been abyssalized. Monster attributes have been greatly increased, and the aggro range has been expanded by 300%. Please be careful!]

[Warning: Affected by "Poisonous Swamp Miasma", you will lose 5 health points per second.]

"Cough cough..."

Pastor Lin Wei coughed twice as soon as she entered, her face turning pale.

"Hiss—!"

I just came in.

The shields on the group hissed and crackled.

Each Abyss dungeon has a different debuff. In this Abyss dungeon, in addition to increased monster attributes, you will also lose 5 health points every second.

If someone comes in alone without a wet nurse, they'll have to take drugs.

"Watch your step, everyone. The mud here has a slowing effect. Maintain formation. Chen Feng and I will stand in the front row. Song Xin, watch out for traps. Su Chen, you and Lin Wei will stay in the back row."

Lu Qingyan decisively arranged the tactics.

however.

Chen Feng did not follow immediately.

He drew the demonic sword from his back, its blade shimmering with a dark purple magical light.

But instead of looking into the fog ahead, he turned his head and stared intently at Su Chen, who was walking at the very back.

"Sister Lu, you saw it too."

Chen Feng's voice rang out sharply in the empty swamp, "The moment we entered, all the monsters had increased stats and were subject to continuous damage. This is fucking the level of an Abyss dungeon!"

He pointed at Su Chen and sneered, "The four of us are risking our lives up front, and we still have to drag this burden along? What can he do in this high-pressure environment, a DOT attacker? By the time his poison kills the monsters, the priest will have already run out of mana!"

Song Xin frowned: "Chen Feng, what do you mean? Didn't we agree on this before we came in?"

"Before I came in is before I came in!"

Chen Feng sneered, "This place is more dangerous than I imagined. I don't want to lose my life here because of some good-for-nothing who got in through connections!"

He turned to look at Lu Qingyan, his tone becoming firm.

"Sister Lu, I am the Magic Swordsman, one of the core damage dealers in the team."

"Anyway, it's either him or me today! You either kick him out of the team, or I'm leaving right now!"

"..."

Chen Feng held his head high, looking as if he had Lu Qingyan completely under his thumb.

He knew very well what losing a high-burst magic swordsman meant in this abyss dungeon.

Even if Lu Qingyan is very protective of the new students, she would never joke about the lives of the entire team.

Lin Wei bit her lip and looked at Lu Qingyan with some difficulty.

Song Xin placed her hand on the dagger again.

Su Chen stood in the mud, looking at Chen Feng's face, without even the slightest fluctuation in his heart.

Code.

That's too classic.

Has this guy been reading too many Rotten Tomatoes novels?

Do you really think you have the protagonist's halo?

Where does a level 24 magic swordsman get the confidence to act all high and mighty in the Abyss dungeon?

Su Chen didn't speak, but just quietly watched Lu Qingyan, wanting to see how this senior would handle the situation.

Just as Lu Qingyan was about to speak—

"Hiss..."

A very faint sound came from the mud beneath my feet.

Immediately afterwards, two huge black shadows burst out of the mud without warning, rushing towards them with a foul stench!

[Poisonous Swamp Crocodile]

[Level: 25]

【Strength: 480】

[Agility: 350]

[Stamina: 800]

【Spirit: 340】

[Skills: Death Roll, Venom Spray]

……

Even a regular monster has a whopping 800 stamina!

The monsters in this difficult-level Abyss dungeon have higher stats than those in the Nightmare-level Secret Realm that Su Chen fought a few days ago.

"Be careful!"

Lu Qingyan's expression changed drastically, and the tower shield in her hand suddenly burst out with a dazzling light as she attempted to unleash a skill.

But those giant crocodiles were too fast and too close; they were aiming for a fatal blow!

One of them opened its gaping maw, covered in barbs, and charged at Lin Wei.

The other one suddenly lunged at Chen Feng.

It lashed out with its spiky tail, slamming down with a sharp whistling sound.

At this critical moment.

Su Chen simply raised the staff in his hand casually.

call out!

A dim magic missile was fired, hitting the giant crocodile that lunged at Lin Wei with pinpoint accuracy.

"5536!"

A four-digit damage number floated above the crocodile's head.

For a level 25 monster with 800 stamina, this amount of damage, while not insignificant, is not fatal.

In the blink of an eye.

Everyone was startled by the injury.

Just one basic attack... and it dealt over 5,000 damage?!

That's higher than some third-year students at the Battle Academy.

Chen Feng caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't have time to say anything.

Because the tail of the giant crocodile in front of him had already hit his face.

Holy crap!

Chen Feng was shocked and hurriedly raised his demonic sword to block.

boom!

"-1540!"

Chen Feng was thrown backwards seven or eight meters away by the impact, landing heavily in the mud.

A large portion of the shield on his body instantly disappeared.

At the very same second that Chen Feng was sent flying backward.

The giant crocodile that Su Chenpu hit suddenly froze in mid-air.

Eerie, dark green, venomous patterns instantly covered their entire bodies.

"-119688206!"

A huge, blinding damage number suddenly exploded!

There were no screams.

The ferocious crocodile, which looked menacing just a moment ago, instantly turned into dark green pus and merged into the swamp.

[Hint: Killing a level 25 Poison Swamp Crocodile grants 500 experience points.]

The whole process took less than two seconds.

The swamp fell silent instantly, with only the sound of pus dripping down.

Lu Qingyan's giant shield was still raised in mid-air, in a posture ready to unleash a taunt.

The light from Lin Wei's healing spell was still flickering at the tip of her staff.

Song Xin had only pulled the dagger halfway out.

The three of them stared blankly at the four puddles of bubbling pus on the ground, their minds completely blank.

What happened?

That number... is it the damage number Su Chen dealt?
