"Tower countdown remaining: 60 hours, 58 minutes, 3 seconds"

[Confession death countdown remaining: 5 days]

━━━━━━━━━━

"Right, now it's time for me to challenge a one-on-three match, right?"

Afraid that Benning would see her blushing, Adela turned her head away and pretended to organize her equipment to change the subject.

"There's no time to try to go one-on-three. Once I formulate a strategy, we'll challenge the hierarchy leader directly."

"Eh? Huh? So fast?"

The unexpected news made Adela immediately forget the shyness she had just experienced. It wasn't that she was afraid, but she and Benning were the only ones going to challenge the level boss room with as many as 25 enemies, which really made her nervous.

"We only have less than three days left in this tower. After passing the third floor, we still have to challenge the boss of the fourth floor. Do you think we still have time to waste?"

Banning keeps saying it's a matter of time, but it's not.

The reason he spent so much time training Adela in the past few days was because he believed that "sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood." But the reason he stopped now was because the knife no longer needed to be sharpened.

To put it in a positive way, it means that Adela has been trained to the extreme, but to put it in a pessimistic way, it means that Adela has no room for improvement for the time being.

So next it depends on how Benning can maximize the effectiveness of Adela's combat power.

·

After half a day of strategizing and resting, Jiang Ran brought Adela to the door of the third-level leader's room.

Looking at the 24 third-level skeleton monsters inside and the fourth-level skeleton general guarding the middle, Adela couldn't help but feel worried even though she knew she would have to face these enemies in advance.

——(This must be the craziest thing I have ever done in my life?)

Looking back on the days when they played pranks every day, Adela truly felt that was true unrestrained happiness.

If she could get out of this "tower" alive, she would definitely trick every member of the werewolf royal family.

"Are you ready, Adela?" Benning asked.

"Uh-huh!"

Adela gripped the crossbow tightly in her hand. There was no retreat at this point.

Then, Adela finally witnessed Benning's true strength for the first time.

·

(Shadow Behind)

Before entering the room of the hierarchy leader, Jiang Ran first summoned a shadow clone.

Next, whenever the cooling time ends, he will immediately summon a new shadow clone to ensure that there are two shadow clones present to fight with them at the same time.

This is a very important detail for them as they are about to face 2 opponents alone.

Then, while summoning the second shadow clone, Jiang Ran sent a signal and rushed into the room of the class leader with Adela.

As the four of them entered the boss's room, the 25 skeleton monsters that were originally standing quietly immediately reacted.

The skeleton general struck the square shield with his war hammer, making a deafening sound. At the same time, the skeleton double-sword captains standing in the front row were waving their double swords and rushing towards Jiang Ran and the other four.

At this moment, Adela suddenly moved forward aggressively, leading all the skeleton double-blade captains to her side. At this time, Jiang Ran also noticed with his peripheral vision that all the skeleton assassins had disappeared.

Seeing that the skeleton archers were about to launch the first volley of arrows, at the moment when their arrows left the strings, Adela accurately used the "Septic Blood Dummy", broke away from the enemies' encirclement in one breath, and left them with a cloud of blood mist that could cause damage!

But this is not the end. In such a short time, Jiang Ran has stolen the key skills from the Skeleton Fire Mage. Taking advantage of the fact that the Skeleton Double-Knife Captains and the invisible Skeleton Assassins may be standing together, he "slings" heavy firepower skills directly towards the area where the monsters are most concentrated.

(Cremate into ashes, sea of ​​flames!)

·

The battle has reached this point and is still within the plan of Jiang Ran and Adela.

However, something unexpected happened soon after.

"Banning! There's a magic barrier on the door! We can't get out!"

The first thing that was heard was Adela's cry. Jiang Ran looked back and found that the door leading to the room of the level leader had been sealed by magic. This had never happened on the first and second floors.

Then, the sound of the Skeleton General hitting his shield with his hammer came from the other side, but this was not just a simple morale booster.

Jiang Ran saw that the skeleton monsters in the sea of ​​fire were all covered with a layer of blue protective shield, which allowed them to rush out of the sea of ​​fire with only minor damage!

(Damn, besides "Group Battle Shield", there's actually a buff skill that reduces magic damage?!)

Jiang Ran was frustrated. According to his plan, the sea of ​​fire would at least burn some of the skeleton monsters to low health, and then Adela would harvest the skulls.

But now, the health of the skeleton monsters is still more than half, which is beyond the range that Adela can put an end to them.

When the plan almost completely failed, the real battle was just about to begin.

·

"Banning! Don't die!"

Adela was not frightened by the unexpected development. She immediately followed what Banning had taught her beforehand. She first lit up a glowing magic stone, and then hid in the shadows with the help of the "Black Jade Ring" that Banning had lent her.

Banning immediately launched new actions according to the changes in the situation. Relying on his speed and skill, he rushed into the team of skeleton fire mages behind the skeleton general in a flash.

His action not only forced the chanting Skeleton Fire Mages to stop chanting and disperse, but also disrupted the enemy's originally neat front and back row formations!

(Being outnumbered isn't always a disadvantage...)

Banning saw the opportunity and quickly killed a nearby Skeleton Fire Mage with his sword. Then he immediately stole the skills of a Skeleton Assassin who had not yet turned invisible not far away, and disappeared from the enemy's encirclement with the help of "Invisibility".

The skeleton monsters who had lost their target immediately focused their attention on the two shadow clones still in the room, but these two shadow clones were not to be trifled with either.

I saw two shadow clones, one of which was fighting with the Skeleton Fire Mages, and the other was sticking to the Skeleton Sharpshooters.

Although these two unreasonable guys have not caused any significant damage to the skeleton monsters, they have made their team even more chaotic!

·

(I can win...!)

In the melee, Jiang Ran relied on the "invisibility technique" to sneak into the corner. From then on, as long as he and Adela implemented the tactics and kept looking for opportunities to reduce the number of skeleton monsters, the balance of victory would tip to their side sooner or later.

If there is any uncertainty, it is that Jiang Ran cannot read the minds of these skeleton monsters because they are not living creatures at all.

As he was speaking, Jiang Ran saw a lone skeleton sharpshooter and immediately walked around behind him to prepare to behead him.

But at this moment, the Skeleton General, who had been assisting his subordinates, suddenly took action.

It first struck the square shield to grant the surrounding subordinates the "War Shield Protection" status (70% physical damage reduction), and then it jumped high up with a war hammer in hand!

8.121 - Collaboration

Range attack is coming!

Based on his knowledge and experience, Jiang Ran made this judgment.

Since Adela used the "Black Jade Ring", Jiang Ran didn't know where she was hiding, but he was worried that her health of only over 5,000 would be severely damaged, so he had to shout loudly.

"Adela! The attack is coming! Jump and dodge!"

Then, almost at the same time Jiang Ran finished speaking, the Skeleton General's hammer smashed onto the ground.

In an instant, the entire floor shook.

With the ground hit by the Skeleton General as the center, a fierce shock wave quickly spread out, knocking down the skeleton monsters around it immediately. However, under the protection of the "battle shield", they did not actually suffer much damage.

Although Jiang Ran was far away from the Skeleton General, he was still hit by the shock wave due to miscalculation of the time when jumping and lacking good defensive equipment. This single blow caused him to lose nearly 7460 health points (1980-7460 / )!

·

(Tsk… I shouldn’t have saved my Shadow Step this time…!)

Jiang Ran was hit by the shock wave and rolled on the ground twice. His head was buzzing and his body was in pain as if it was about to fall apart.

His two shadow clones, which were already in poor condition, were killed instantly after taking this attack.

As for Adela, although he didn't see any movement, Jiang Ran guessed that she should have been hit as well.

At this moment, the only person still standing in the room of the entire class leader was the Skeleton General, while all other people and monsters were reorganizing their positions.

If the Skeleton General had mindlessly used this area-of-effect skill, Jiang Ran could have used it to clear out other skeleton monsters. However, this guy wasn't stupid. Before using his skills, he actually knew how to use damage-reduction skills on his subordinates first, which put Jiang Ran in a difficult position.

In this inescapable boss room, area-of-effect skills are quite difficult to handle.

(The shadow behind!)

While the enemies were still struggling, Jiang Ran took the initiative and let the shadow clones restrain the most troublesome skeleton shooters.

Then, before the Skeleton General could use other skills, he stole the skill "Thunder Strike" that the guy had just used.

With this skill, Jiang Ran made a big show of attracting the monsters to his side, and then after reminding Adela, he followed suit and gave the Skeleton General and the surrounding skeleton monsters "another" authentic "Thunder Strike"!

(Knock them all to the ground!)

As Jiang Ran jumped high and slammed the ground with the handle of his sword, a weakened version of "Thunder Strike" instantly knocked the Skeleton General and other skeleton monsters to the ground.

Although Jiang Ran's strength attribute is not as good as the Skeleton General, the "knockdown" effect of this skill is completely sufficient for him!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Ran immediately selected the skeleton monsters with less remaining health and began to kill them. At the same time, he also sent a signal for Adela to show up and harvest the skulls together.

The window of time for a surprise attack passed in the blink of an eye. Jiang Ran used himself as bait to gain an opportunity for Adela, allowing her to hide in the shadows again. Jiang Ran himself did not continue with the guerrilla tactics from last time, but instead became "tough"!

Jiang Ran stole the skill "Double Flash in an Instant" from the Skeleton Dual-Knife Captain nearby, and then rushed into the Skeleton Fire Mage's team with a seemingly "desperate for life and death" attitude, and then began to swing the dual knives to kill indiscriminately!

Jiang Ran quickly eliminated the two skeleton fire mages, and then he was surrounded by the skeleton double-blade captains.

Facing the long knife that was chopped towards his forehead, Jiang Ran calmly used the "Shadow Escape Step" to transfer to the team of skeleton sharpshooters. After merging with his own shadow clone, he summoned a new shadow clone. The three of them instantly formed a three-on-six melee against long-range "advantage" situation in the local area, and eliminated three more skeleton sharpshooters before the enemy could react.

Jiang Ran's radical change in style of play was so sudden that not only were the skeleton monsters unable to react, but even his teammate Adela didn't know how to cooperate for a moment.

The reason why Jiang Ran made such a change was because he had realized that his previous "lukewarm" fighting style was no longer feasible. As long as the pace slowed down, he and Adela would be exhausted to death by the Skeleton General and his men.

Now, he must reduce the number of enemies as much as possible before the Skeleton General's next range attack arrives!

·

Benning's sudden change in style left Adela stunned.

Is this young man with unpredictable skills really the Banning she knows?

Moreover, why can he use the same skills as the skeleton monsters?

Isn't this too inexplicable?

From Adela's perspective, Banning was omnipotent and omnipresent, and the skeleton monsters, even the most agile skeleton assassins, were treated like dogs by him, not to mention the most clumsy skeleton generals.

With Banning's "light" attracting the attention of all enemies, Adela was able to easily act as a "shadow" in the dark to continuously harvest those careless enemies.

In less than five minutes, the two cooperated with each other and killed all the monsters except the Skeleton General!

·

As a class leader, Skeleton General's performance can be said to be almost failing.

However, it is actually quite unfair to it, because it is not completely inactive during this period. As soon as the cooling time is up, it will immediately release physical damage reduction or magical damage reduction skills to its subordinates.

Unfortunately, all the Skeleton General's efforts were in vain, because both Banning and Adela had the ability to output both types of damage, which made it waste its magic power in vain.

As for participating in the battle personally, it was not that it did not want to, but with its speed, it really could not keep up with these two agile humans.

Now, as a "command + support" type boss, when it is left alone to face the enemy, it has actually already lost.

·

"Adela, you can come out now."

Banning stood in front of the Skeleton General with two swords in his hands. Without his subordinates, the bulky general was no longer a threat.

"That's exactly what I'm planning to do."

Adela emerged from the shadows. After this battle in which she cooperated with Benning, her confidence in frontal combat was greatly strengthened.

Then, with the tacit cooperation of the two, the Skeleton General was toyed to death without any chance of fighting back. At this point, Banning and Adela finally passed the boss room of the third level without any danger.

"Wow! Banning! Look! A silver treasure chest appeared!"
