he damage numbers flashed.-248! (One-hit kill)-324! (Critical Hit)-432! (Critical Hit)Whoosh whoosh whoosh!Three beams of white light lit up, instantly killing the three members of the Overlord's Dyna...It's no wonder that even players in teams have a hard time defeating these level 17 skeletons. They are too tough and powerful to handle! This is really difficult!

A Skeleton Archer gave Zhang Yi 100 experience points, as well as 9 copper coins.

After the battle ended, Zhang Yi took a bottle of red medicine from his bag, swallowed it, and restored the lost Qi and blood.

Next, Zhang Yi had to consume one bottle of red potion for every skeleton archer he killed, and during this process, he also had to intersperse the use of blue potions, which was not something that an ordinary player could afford.

After all, a bottle of tier 3 red potion costs 10 copper coins, while a skeleton monster only drops a maximum of 9 copper coins. For Zhang Yi, it's simply not worth the effort.

However, Zhang Yi, who possessed a staggering 31 gold coins, didn't care about these trivial matters. As long as these high-level skeletons could bring him higher experience gains and allow him to complete the [Soul Transference] quest, he was satisfied.

The reason Zhang Yi chose to take down the Skeleton Archers first was because their health and defense were comparatively lower than the Skeleton Warriors. Taking down the Skeleton Archers quickly, Zhang Yi desperately needed to level up to 14. Once he reached level 14, he could equip his Mage Pants and Silverbone Ring, making these skeletons feel like they were fighting their father.

Before that, Zhang Yi now didn't dare to use the Thunder Chain to deal with multiple targets at the same time, because the Skeleton Shooter's damage was too high. If he were attacked by three Skeleton Shooters, Zhang Yi would be instantly killed.

Zhang Yi was doing alright compared to the others. Looking around, no other players had the enhancement of 25th-level divine gear or the stat boosts from Dragon lineage. They were struggling against these high-level skeletons. Unfortunately, they had taken on the mission and couldn't bear the severe consequences of failure, so they dared not give up easily. It was a real tearjerker.

Compared to other players, Zhang Yi found it much easier to fight these skeleton monsters. However, for Zhang Yi himself, he felt it was extremely strenuous.

During the process of hunting down these skeletons, Zhang Yi was simultaneously undertaking two missions. The "Soul Tranquility" mission was relatively straightforward, with each kill advancing the progress by one.

But that hidden quest was much more difficult. Zhang Yi killed five Skeleton Archers in a row before finally getting a [Divine Bone]!

And that task required gathering 1,000 divine bones...

Let's not worry about that for now, the priority is still to level up to 14.

One by one, Zhang Yi tirelessly swatted at the skeleton archers. Just as his fireball spell killed the 31st archer, a deafening dragon roar echoed through the air...

Hellfire Dragon!

Boom!

The searing dragon flames cascaded down from above, instantly engulfing all the skeleton warriors and skeleton archers within a 100-meter radius around Zhang Yi.

A skeleton engulfed in flames, its skull topped with a staggering 375-point white real damage burst, accompanied by every second dealt 75 points of burning damage!

In an instant, countless skeleton archers surrounding Zhang Yi were directly hit by the Hell Dragon's opening damage, reducing their HP by half. As they approached Zhang Yi, they were burned to death alive by the sustained 5-second burning damage, one by one!

"Ding~ You killed a level 17 Skeleton Archer, gaining 100 experience points!"

"Ding~ You killed a level 17 Skeleton Archer, gaining 100 experience points!"

Ding...

The total health of a level 17 Skeleton Archer is just over 700, exactly enough to be obliterated by a Hellfire Dragon's direct blast!

Then, the hellfire dragon flame that lasted for 5 seconds subsided. A total of 42 level 17 skeleton archers from all directions were directly killed in an instant. More than 50 remaining level 18 skeleton archers, or those with tougher skeletons, warriors, were beaten down to a sliver of health and continued to approach Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi waved his staff quickly, a basic attack taking down one of the low-health skeletons. He didn't give those skeletons any chance to get close, leveraging the player's slightly longer attack range than the monsters. He took the initiative by killing the skeleton archers before they were within their effective attack range, then directly hammered the skeleton warriors with basic attacks.

With a flick of his hand, Zhang Yi gained over a hundred experience points. In the blink of an eye, his experience bar reached full value, and a golden light showered down on his head—

"Ding～Congratulations on reaching level 14..."

The surrounding players were already stunned, but no one had expected that the dragon flame just now was triggered by Zhang Yi...

Player A: "Damn it... who just used the magic scroll That one, using it costs at least 100 gold coins, right!"

Ignoring the discussions of the surrounding players, Zhang Yi, who had instantly leveled up to 14 with a Hellfire Dragon Breath attack, eagerly took out the [Silver Bone Ring] and [Mage Pants] from his bag to complete his equipment. Then, using 25 level 2 enhancement stones, he enhanced the un-enhanced [Silver Bone Ring].

"Ding..."

"Ding..."

"Ding... Congratulations, your equipment [Silverbone Ring] has reached level 25 enhancement, unlocking the exclusive talent [Advanced Grievous Wound]! "

The silver bone ring was enhanced to level 25, and its attack power soared from 35 points to 123 points. “Advanced Crippling” is a nostalgic effect because this talent was opened when Zhang Yi first enhanced his weapon, the Great Iron Hammer, unlocking the upgraded version of the "Crippling" talent.

Major Wound, grants the wearer an additional 50 points of damage with each attack!

Looking at the status bar, under the powerful buff from the silver bone ring, Zhang Yi's attack power surged instantly from 249 points to 340 points.

Defense also breaks through the three-digit mark, reaching 131 points, thanks to the bonuses from the 2-star level 14 mage pants!

The silver bone ring, with its added 18 points of strength, further boosted Zhang Yi's life value attribute to a total of 720 points!

After the equipment was replaced, just as a skeleton warrior that had been crippled by the hell dragon's flames and hadn't been killed by Zhang Yi yet limped over with its greatsword, it swung at Zhang Yi. The blow landed with a clang, dealing insignificant damage—

-71!

Compared to before, the damage has been directly reduced by half!

Zhang Yi unleashed a fireball with his hand —

-438!

Roar～

The level 18 skeleton warrior was directly blasted to death, transforming into 120 experience points which Zhang Yi absorbed.

The next moment, several arrows flew in from all directions, landing on Zhang Yi one after another, causing over 90 points of damage each. Compared to the previous damage of over 180 points per arrow, Zhang Yi's damage from the skeleton archers had been directly halved!

Zhang Yi didn't hold back, several normal attacks took out all the level 18 skeleton archers.

Awesome!

This is exactly the feeling Zhang Yi wanted!

All Zhang Yi wants to do is say: "I just want to stack stats and stand there and farm!"mission has been upgraded: [Elite Mission] (Elite), please complete the mission within this week!"【High-Level Mission】, the indicator is that players need to complete at least three tasks with a diffi...
