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

The squad advanced very quickly.

The girls' expressions were already somewhat blank.

The moment the monster shows its face, it's met with a normal attack from Su Chen.

Then it turned into a puddle of pus.

Half an hour later, the team had advanced into the heart of the instance.

The fog ahead grew thicker and thicker, the pale green miasma almost condensing into water droplets.

The shields of the group were being corroded and hissed.

"stop."

Song Xin, who was walking at the front, suddenly raised her hand and her figure instantly disappeared into a dark shadow.

A few seconds later, she appeared behind a withered giant tree, her face looking rather pale.

"There's no road ahead."

Song Xin lowered her voice and pointed to a wide, muddy area ahead, "It's a large, continuous poisonous swamp, there's no way around it. The swamp is teeming with monsters, densely packed, I estimate there are hundreds."

Lin Wei was so frightened that she shrank behind Lu Qingyan.

Hundreds of abyss monsters of level 25 and above are clustered together.

If this were outside, it would definitely be a small-scale monster siege.

Even a full-strength elite squad of five has to be carefully pulled out one by one to fight, because if they are not careful, they will be surrounded and wiped out.

Lu Qingyan's expression was solemn as she gripped the tower shield tightly.

"There are too many of them. If I'm surrounded by them, I can only hold out for three minutes at most."

She turned to look at Su Chen, and without realizing it, she had already regarded Su Chen as the absolute core of her tactics.

The single-target instant kill ability that Su Chen just demonstrated has completely established his status as the team's true carry.

"Junior Su, your damage is indeed ridiculously high. But these monsters are lurking beneath the swamp, and their aggro is chained. Once you attack one, the others will instantly swarm up."

Lu Qingyan quickly devised a strategy: "Here's what we'll do, I'll go first. My taunt skill has a very large range, which can force them all out of the swamp and gather them together."

"Wait until they surround me, then you can take the opportunity to attack."

"Lin Wei, keep a close eye on my health bar. If I can't keep up with the healing, I'll activate my survival skill."

Lin Wei gripped the staff nervously and nodded repeatedly.

Su Chen's opinion of Lu Qingyan rose another point.

She's really capable when there's trouble.

"no."

After a moment's thought, he rejected Lu Qingyan's tactic.

Lu Qingyan was stunned for a moment.

She thought Su Chen was worried she wouldn't be able to handle it: "It's okay, I'm tough, I can survive..."

"It's not a problem that you can't handle it."

Su Chen shook his head and said, "If I make a move, I will kill you as well."

"what?"

Lu Qingyan looked somewhat bewildered.

Su Chen patiently explained, "My staff has an affix that sprays damage in all directions whenever a monster dies, applying a DoT to all creatures within two meters. This doesn't discriminate between friend and foe."

"If a monster hit by the splash damage dies, it will continue to splash, which means... a chain explosion, dealing 100 million points of true damage. Are you sure you can withstand that?"

"..."

True damage.

Indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe.

A series of explosions.

The group felt a chill run down their spines.

What kind of insane mechanism is this?!

"Then... what should we do?"

Lin Wei's voice trembled, "If we don't use taunts to gather the monsters, they'll be scattered throughout the swamp, making it difficult to clear them all at once."

"I'll do it!"

Just as Su Chen was about to use the Snake Guard to push forward, Song Xin suddenly raised her hand.

Her eyes sparkled as she said, "Senior Lu, go gather the monsters. The moment they all surround you, I'll use [Shadow Swap] to bring you out! My substitute straw doll will stay inside to absorb the damage, and you can attack the straw doll along with it!"

Song Xin had an extremely accurate grasp of timing and immediately came up with a plan to cooperate.

Her [Shadow Swap] is similar to a mage's Blink skill, and its effect is to swap places with a nearby target.

Ordinary assassins cannot carry people, but Song Xin is a hidden profession, which is obviously different.

"Okay. Hurry up, my basic attack is very fast."

Su Chen nodded.

Actually, there are only a few hundred monsters; he can just use his snake guards to deal with them.

But he also wanted to try out how he should operate within a team.

"Leave it to me!"

Lu Qingyan took a deep breath, and a dazzling holy light shone from her body.

Without hesitation, she charged into the muddy swamp, shield in hand.

"boom!"

The tower shield slammed heavily onto the mud.

"【Divine Shield Taunt】!"

A ring of golden ripples spread wildly outwards from Lu Qingyan as the center.

The once calm swamp instantly boiled over.

"roar--!"

"Croak—!"

The mud exploded.

One after another, enormous abyssal crocodiles and rotting giant frogs covered in pustules broke through the water's surface, their bloodshot eyes fixed on Lu Qingyan in the center.

The hatred was instantly amplified!

Hundreds of elite monsters surged towards Lu Qingyan like a black tide.

The scene was extremely oppressive.

In just a few seconds.

The strange horde had completely surrounded her.

Sharp fangs and a venomous tongue nearly touched her tower shield.

"Now!"

Lu Qingyan shouted.

"Whoosh!"

A dark shadow flashed past Lu Qingyan.

Song Xin appeared out of thin air and grabbed Lu Qingyan's shoulder.

[Shadow Swap]!

A flash of light.

Lu Qingyan and Song Xin instantly appeared in a safe area thirty meters away.

Only a black stand-in doll wearing a straw hat remained in the original location.

The doll also has a brief mocking effect.

The monsters immediately unleashed their fury on the doll.

Just as the doll was about to be torn apart.

Su Chen raised his hand.

He didn't use any skills, but simply threw a basic attack at the target.

"call out--"

The basic attack landed on the crocodile's thick scales.

The crocodile seemed to be in some pain, but it did not die.

But next second.

The enormous venomous crocodile's body surface was instantly covered with dense, dark green venomous patterns.

It didn't even have time to let out a scream.

"-119833652"

A terrifying number floated above its head.

The health bar was instantly reduced to zero.

Followed by.

"Bang!"

A faint spark exploded instantly!

Dark green venom and terrifying shockwaves swept outwards in an exaggerated range.

The second monster, the third monster, the fourth monster... were splashed...

As soon as you get even a little bit of the venom on you, the same damage exceeding 100 million will immediately appear above your head.

then.

Then came the second explosion!

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang-!!!"

A series of explosions!

A green, toxic mist shot into the sky, and mud was blasted into the air.

Su Chen stood on the edge of the explosion, taking two steps back in disgust, afraid that mud would splatter onto his clothes.

The explosion lasted for a full four seconds before subsiding.

Wait until the smoke and dust clear.

The vast swamp ahead became quiet.

Originally, there were hundreds of elite abyss monsters, densely packed together.

It's all gone.

Not a single intact scale remained; they were all blasted into dark green pus.

The ground was covered with glittering loot and gold coins.

System notification sounds flooded the screen.

[Successfully killed a level 26 Abyss Poison Crocodile, experience +640]

[Successfully killed a level 27 Corrupted Giant Frog, experience +720]

[Successfully killed the level 26 Abyssal Poison Crocodile...]

……

One basic attack.

Clear the screen.

The three girls behind him were completely petrified.

Lu Qingyan still held the tower shield in her hand, maintaining a defensive posture, but her eyes were already fixed on something.

She stared at the green pus covering the floor, her mind reeling.

Those are hundreds of abyssal monsters!

Even if it's a high-level mage who has reached the sixth or seventh level of cultivation, it would still take them a few seconds to cast a spell, right?

He didn't even use any skills, just did a basic attack?

Then all the monsters were cleared out?

Song Xin swallowed hard, her voice dry and hoarse, like sandpaper scraping.

"Senior Lu... what if you get splashed..."

Song Xin stared blankly at the debris scattered on the ground. "There's probably not even any bone fragments left!"

"Luckily, it was Chen Feng who got kicked."

Lin Wei muttered to herself, "Otherwise, with hundreds of monsters, how long would it take him to kill them all with his sword?"

Su Chen was also very satisfied.

This was his first time working with other people.

That doesn't count the previous relationship with Lin Shiqing.

It seems that the results are quite good.

"If teammates have taunt skills, the monsters will gather together, which can perfectly solve the weakness of the Explosive Staff's small range."

"However, without Song Xin bringing the person out, they would have been poisoned along with the mockers, which would have been a true sacrifice of teammates."

"..."

Su Chen shook his head with a wry smile.

It's not easy to cooperate with him!
