Chapter 280 The Fake Demon Dragon Palace: Falling into the Demon's Trick
Jiang Chen had no idea how far he had gone.
Tens of thousands of kilometers? Or perhaps a hundred thousand kilometers?
In the Eternal Battlefield, there is no day-night cycle. Unless he looks at the time on his communicator, Jiang Chen has no way of knowing how long he has been in the Eternal Battlefield.
He kept walking along the periphery of the core area, as if he would never reach the end.
Of the three areas in the upper space, the core area is the largest and also the most dangerous.
Although Jiang Chen had no intention of re-entering the core area, the skeletons cleared away the monsters along the way. In the ancient battlefield, monsters could never be completely wiped out.
Dead monsters are swallowed up by the earth, while new monsters descend from the points of light in the sky, replenishing the battlefield.
This cycle seemed endless, lasting for countless years.
Jiang Chen was curious about the strangeness of the ancient battlefield.
It shares similarities with the Otherworld Battlefield, but also has its differences.
The existence of the Otherworld Battlefield is the result of a long war between the human race and the Abyss World; there are traceable clues and a history to follow.
However, the existence of this ancient battlefield remains unverified.
Since the dawn of human history, the ancient battlefield seems to have existed for countless ages. This history is far too ancient.
Jiang Chen recalled a conversation he had with Hong Jishi and Li Xueru.
Li Xueru seemed to be very interested in the secrets of the ancient battlefield, but for various reasons, he was unable to focus on pursuing them.
Hong Jishi advised him not to act rashly, and the person who searched for this secret never returned.
Humanity has lost many god-level powerhouses because of this, and the current human race can no longer afford such losses.
From their conversation, Jiang Chen learned that in order to explore the secrets of the ancient battlefield, they had to go to the deep space.
The ancient battlefield is divided into three spaces: the upper layer, the lower layer, and the deep layer.
According to the map shown by Hong Ki-seok, the structure of the three spaces resembles a hamburger.
The upper level corresponds to the area below level 70, and the lower level is the area between level 70 and 89.
Once they reach level 90 or above and become god-level powerhouses, their activity area shifts to the deep space, which is also the most core and dangerous place in the entire ancient battlefield.
Jiang Chen felt a sense of longing.
"I will go and see it in the future."
As he muttered to himself, a faint light flickered at his fingertips, and a skeleton mage appeared beside him.
Five days ago, Jiang Chen leveled up again.
Reaching level 35, the 15th undead legion was born.
Jiang Chen was working overtime to supplement the information.
Fortunately, his mental energy is recovering quickly enough that even if Jiang Chen doesn't stop meditating, it will only take him seven or eight days to replenish the undead army.
The 15 undead legions, each composed of 5250 skeleton warriors, are extremely powerful.
A level 35 skeleton warrior has 6 in each of its four main attributes.
The level 35 skeleton mage has a spirit attribute of up to 11.
With the buffs provided by the Lich General, the skeleton warrior's four main stats can reach 7.8, while the skeleton mage's spirit attribute exceeds 14. Each level up brings a significant boost to their strength.
"There are still 4 levels left. If we can't find the 'Dragon Palace' by level 39, then we'll have to go back."
Jiang Chen gazed into the distance, preparing for his second job change at level 39.
If the "Dragon Palace" is still not found by then, the only option is to use the Mermaid's Tears in the hope of awakening a talent during job change.
At the same time, one should also prepare for career advancement when changing jobs.
If both are to be done simultaneously, the difficulty will be significantly greater.
"Dragon Palace" remains the first choice, and there are still 4 levels left.
After level 35, the leveling speed slows down considerably.
It takes almost ten days to advance to the next level.
In fact, Jiang Chen was also aware that his leveling speed was much faster than that of most people.
But compared to Jiang Ruoyi... she's utterly pathetic.
My own sister's leveling speed is so fast that it completely overturns and breaks the historical record of the entire human race.
Jiang Chen knew that his sister's talent was to accelerate leveling up, and that it was a top-tier talent that could be upgraded.
The higher the level of others, the slower they level up.
But it had no effect on Jiang Ruo at all.
As your level increases, your talents also upgrade, and the leveling speed tends to gradually increase.
"My sister is very likely to become the youngest god-level powerhouse in the history of the entire human race."
Jiang Chen felt that his guess was very likely to come true.
While pondering, the skeleton warrior killed another monster on the road.
I have gained a million experience points.
The faint light at his fingertips continued to flicker as another skeleton mage appeared beside him, then joined the summoning queue for standby. The 15 undead legions were now fully staffed, and Jiang Chen was replenishing the spare skeletons in the summoning queue.
Suddenly, a peculiar aura wafted from afar.
Its aura contained traces of dragon blood, yet it was somewhat different from that of a dragon.
Jiang Chen sensed it.
This aura contains not only the bloodline of the dragon race, but also the aura of the abyss demons, and is accompanied by the aura of the dungeon.
"Dragon Palace!"
Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly, his eyes revealing joy.
This aura is exactly the same as what Hong Jishi described.
After searching for so many days, I finally found it.
Jiang Chen didn't even hesitate before rushing off.
The distance isn't far, about a hundred kilometers, and it won't take long to get there.
A few minutes later, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped. His gaze turned serious. "Something's not right!"
There were no bands of light hanging down from the sky, and no unusual celestial phenomena.
I was so excited when I sensed the aura that I completely overlooked it.
When the "Dragon Palace" dungeon appears, strange celestial phenomena will inevitably occur.
The extraordinary celestial phenomenon will affect an area spanning thousands of kilometers, attracting a large number of people from the three races to the area.
A major war is inevitable.
At this moment, only the aura of the "Dragon Palace" was emanating, and no unusual phenomena appeared in the heavens and earth.
"There are two possibilities. One is that the 'Dragon Palace' instance is not yet fully formed, and the celestial phenomena have not yet appeared."
"The second possibility is that what lies ahead isn't the 'Dragon Palace' at all..."
Just then, Jiang Chen saw a point of light explode in the distance, forming a large expanse of colorful clouds that illuminated the surrounding area.
The colorful clouds covered an extremely large area, and Jiang Chen saw a dungeon vortex forming within them.
An unusual phenomenon has appeared in the heavens and earth, and the instance is forming; the aura is also fine.
It appeared just as I thought of it; what a coincidence.
Jiang Chen had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
Regardless, I still have to go and take a look.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was less than twenty kilometers away from Caiyun.
Just a few minutes later, we arrived under the colorful clouds.
Jiang Chen noticed a faint glow at his fingertips and immediately used his detection technique to investigate.
This was also the first reaction of human professionals.
The detection spell, carrying a gentle breeze, landed on the vortex within the colorful clouds. The clouds dispersed with the wind, completely vanishing before Jiang Chen's eyes.
The vortex within the instance also disappeared at the same time.
A massive barrier quickly formed, enveloping Jiang Chen within it.
Enchantment!
Abyss Demon!
Sure enough, my sixth sense was right; there was indeed a problem.
A hexagonal crystal was stuck in the ground.
The crystal is emitting light, but the light is faint.
All the aura surrounding the "Dragon Palace" dungeon originates from this hexagonal crystal.
The detection technique landed on the crystal.
"Dragon Crystal (already used)"
"There is a chance to awaken a talent after use." So this is the Dragon Crystal, but it has already been used and has lost its function.
Someone used special methods to stir up the energy inside, luring them into a trap.
"Hahahaha!"
A burst of maniacal laughter erupted.
Jiang Chen's brows furrowed slightly, then relaxed.
The voice was familiar; it was someone I knew.
"Flame Demon King, so it's you!" Jiang Chen appeared relaxed, but inwardly he was on high alert.
A giant eye burning with raging flames appeared in the sky.
However, it is just a projection, neither the real body nor a clone.
Under the rules of the upper space of the ancient battlefield, whether it's the Flame Demon King or the Succubus King, creating a projection is the limit.
Otherwise, if they split into multiple copies, Jiang Chen wouldn't be able to stop them at all.
Jiang Chen was aware of this rule, so he was not afraid or worried at all when he saw the projection of the Flame Demon King.
The Flame Demon King's voice echoed within the barrier, "Jiang Chen, you're dead this time."
Ok?
Jiang Chen sensed something was off about the Flame Demon King's tone; it seemed brimming with confidence.
I don’t know where the confidence comes from.
There were no demons or bosses around; it was completely empty.
Besides the barrier.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but wonder if they were trying to trap him inside and kill him.
The Flame Demon King continued, "Enjoy your last moments, for you will be wiped out and die completely."
"I will watch, watch you turn into an idiot, a fool, and then be killed and dismembered."
"What human genius? In front of me, he's nothing but bullshit!"
Jiang Chen's heart stirred, and the undead legion appeared, protecting him.
With a solemn expression, he wanted to see what the Flame Demon King was up to.
They attracted me here, but didn't even send in a monster. What kind of trick are they playing?
Where does one get the confidence to kill oneself?
There's something eerie about this place.
The mist was growing within the barrier, in wisps and strands, barely noticeable unless you looked closely.
When Jiang Chen noticed that his vision had changed, a thin mist had already filled the entire barrier.
The Flame Demon King's eyes were also hidden in the mist, becoming hazy and indistinct.
