Chapter 278 All bark and no bite: Jiang Chen's Defense Battle
Since the "Ancient Earth Dragon" left, the light outside the dungeon has gradually faded, and everything has returned to silence.
The people outside waited, and everyone remained on high alert.
Suddenly, space slightly distorted, and two figures appeared at the entrance of the dungeon.
"They're out!" someone shouted.
"Attack!" The abyss demons and dragons launched their attacks almost simultaneously.
From leaving the instance to the end of the teleportation, only two seconds elapsed, but that was enough for them to launch an attack. A burst of light bloomed in the air, and instantly a massive barrier descended, enveloping everyone within it.
Abyss demons are skilled at creating barriers, possessing both abilities and various items. Even high-level random teleportation scrolls are ineffective within their barriers.
Jiang Chen has become a common target for both clans and must die. This is already a consensus between the two sides.
"Protect Jiang Chen!" Ding Genghong shouted the moment they made their move.
The more than one hundred human professionals were prepared and rushed forward without hesitation. Ding Genghong took the lead and rushed to the entrance of the dungeon, activating his charge skill.
Skill: Group Protection! A sturdy shield appeared with a soft glow, blocking the first wave of attacks.
Huge fireball meteors rained down from the sky—not just one, but more than twenty dragon mages simultaneously unleashing their power, each meteor carrying astonishing force. A dense rain of arrows fell, covering a vast area.
The abyssal demon unleashed a massive amount of abyssal power, like a thousand swords being fired simultaneously, causing a violent explosion.
Human warriors charged forward despite the attacks, while mages and archers launched ranged attacks, directly striking the demons and dragons.
However, the fact that both the abyssal demons and the dragons can fly puts the human race at a disadvantage.
Ding Genghong faced hundreds of attacks simultaneously, and his protective shield shattered instantly.
A second shield appeared instantly, taking over his job.
Huo Yuyao arrived as well, only half a second later than him.
The meteorite continued to fall, and the protective shield shattered again in less than a second.
The two exchanged a glance, then simultaneously raised their shields, each standing in front of Jiang Chen and Qiao Zhixin. They had to protect each other no matter what.
A white light suddenly shone from their bodies. Skeleton armor appeared on them, blocking all attacks.
Jiang Chen's voice rang out, "Thank you."
Ding Genghong chuckled, "This is what I should do."
He knew that as long as he could help Jiang Chen withstand the first wave of attacks, the outcome of this battle would already be decided.
He knew that the abyss demons and the dragons were unaware of this.
They were still shouting loudly.
“He’s out. Kill him.”
"We can't let him take the Heart of the Earth back."
"They must die. Not a single human here can be spared. Kill them all."
Jiang Chen sneered and said to Ding Genghong, "Tell him to come down."
Ding Genghong nodded and immediately roared, "No air travel!"
The shadow mage in Ding Genghong's team raised his staff high, and a beam of light shot out and exploded in the air.
In an instant, a no-fly zone was formed, and the abyssal demons and dragons fell from the sky in terror.
"Oh no, they have a mage who can prevent flying."
"So what if there's a no-fly zone? We can still kill them once we land."
"The no-fly zone will be in effect for a limited time, at most one minute, so don't worry!"
Both races screamed wildly, showing no fear whatsoever.
Suddenly, legions of undead appeared on the ground.
Thirteen undead legions, totaling 4290 skeletons, appeared, exuding a strong killing intent.
"How could there be so many?"
"How can he have so many summoned creatures? It's practically an army!"
"I know why he was able to clear the map so quickly; he just overwhelmed everyone with sheer numbers." "Hang in there. The no-fly zone only lasts for one minute. Just hold on until it's over."
Now, the abyss demons and dragons finally understand how Jiang Chen was farming dungeons.
In less than 40 minutes, I finished a dungeon run.
It wasn't about taking shortcuts; it was all about hard power.
But now, it's too late to say anything.
They couldn't possibly hold out for even a minute.
Jiang Chen wouldn't give them a chance.
The abyss demons and dragons fell into the cold embrace of the undead legion.
Jiang Chen felt a heat on the back of his hand, and it suddenly exploded.
Skill: Mighty Soldier!
A beautiful light fell, and all the skeletons were collectively enhanced.
Along with the powerful soldiers, Qiao Zhixin also activated her group collection spell. A dazzling firework exploded in the sky, enveloping more than half of the abyss demons and dragons, making them shimmer in the distance.
"What's this…"
"Why does it glow..."
Amidst their confused cries, the attacks of the skeleton warriors and skeleton mages had already landed.
The skeleton warrior's skill burst forth, and the damage in that instant was terrifyingly large.
Screams echoed across the battlefield.
Then they were overwhelmed by the skeleton mage's spells.
In just a few seconds, the battlefield fell silent.
With the "Strong Soldier" skill, even the corpse explosion is no longer necessary.
The skeleton warriors' power has completely exceeded everyone's expectations.
The first time I used the "Strong Soldier" skill, I instantly killed the Abyss Fire Spirit.
Not to mention these ordinary demons and dragons.
Just as Ding Genghong had thought, the outcome was already decided the moment Jiang Chen made his move.
Jiang Chen received a constant stream of messages.
A large amount of kill information, a large amount of experience, and a large amount of military merit.
There were more than 300 abyssal demons and dragons present.
And they are all level 50 or above.
Each person receives 2000 military merits.
His total military merits approached 70.
He and Qiao Zhixin shared these military merits equally.
The sergeant badges on their shoulders were gleaming.
A star appeared on Jiang Chen's colonel badge.
One-star colonel achieved. Qiao Zhixin's three-star second lieutenant badge has also been upgraded to colonel, though she still doesn't have any stars yet.
Qiao Zhixin wasn't excited about her promotion to colonel, but instead said to Jiang Chen, "Wow, you got promoted."
Jiang Chen was enveloped in white light; he had leveled up.
After running several dungeons in a row, plus dealing with so many abyssal demons and dragons.
Even though he was teamed up with Qiao Zhixin and received half the experience, he still managed to level up.
After level 30, most professionals need two to three months to level up once.
Since Jiang Chen started fighting monsters without restraint, he has gone from level 31 to level 34 in just over 20 days.
This speed is already considered very fast.
Not only did he level up, Jiang Chen also discovered that his Corpse Explosion skill had also leveled up. It had reached level 5.
"Corpse Explosion LV5: Detonates a corpse, dealing 30% of the corpse's health as damage to enemies within a 5-meter radius."
After perfect enhancement, the skill's kill range reached 200 meters, and the damage was 12 times the corpse's health.
Jiang Chen felt that as long as he could get enough corpses, he would be fine.
I could completely destroy the abyss myself.
He ruthlessly extinguished this thought the moment it arose, and his mind turned to the core area.
There were no bodies at all, so what's the point of blowing it up?
He also couldn't bring the body into the core area.
A corpse loses all its vitality within ten minutes of death.
It will be useless then.
To unleash the full power of the corpse explosion, fresh corpses are needed. The skeletons began stripping the dragon race warriors of their equipment.
Dragon race professionals always bring a lot of things. Even if humans can't use these items directly, they can still recycle them to obtain materials.
Jiang Chen looked at the massive amount of information, his eyes filled with curiosity.
"So the Gathering spell works on demons too."
"Obtain Demon Core Fragments through the Collection Technique."
"Demon Core Fragment: After use, it can shroud oneself in demonic aura for one hour."
"Using the collection technique, I obtained the essence of low-level dragon bloodlines."
"Low-grade Dragon Bloodline Essence: Can be made into potions by apothecaries, and can be used by alchemists and blacksmiths when crafting battlefield equipment."
At first glance, the Demon Core Fragment doesn't seem to be of much use.
Enveloped by demonic aura.
But after thinking about it carefully, Jiang Chen understood the purpose of these materials.
If one day he single-handedly ventures into the Abyss, perhaps he will find it useful.
Normally, when you kill demons, regardless of their level, you can only obtain demon blood essence.
Unexpectedly, the collection technique allowed me to obtain fragments of the Demon Core.
It also contains the essence of dragon blood.
Unlike the dragon monsters killed in the Otherworld Battlefield instance.
After Jiang Chen entered the Ancient Battlefield, he killed these dragon race professionals but did not obtain any items.
I thought they wouldn't drop anything, but it seems I'll have to rely on collecting skills to get them.
Jiang Chen realized that rare mythical-level professionals like Qiao Zhixin were useful not only in dungeons, but also on the battlefield.
In the human race, everyone except Ding Genghong and his group was stunned. What was clearly a large-scale battle had ended in the blink of an eye.
What skill did Jiang Chen use? How did his skeleton suddenly become so strong?
They were not only numerous, but also strong; otherwise, the battle could not have ended in just a few seconds.
Suddenly someone pointed at Jiang Chen and shouted, "It's a skill from the Primal Rune!"
“That’s right, it’s the light of the Primordial Rune. Look closely at the back of his left hand; there’s a Primordial Rune on it.”
"No wonder, each of the Primordial Runes is so powerful. If used properly, they can unleash dozens or even hundreds of times the combat power in a short period of time."
"I'm so envious. He's only level 33... oh no, he's level 34 now. He's only level 34 and he's already obtained the Primal Rune."
"I'm envious too. I've been in the Ancient Battlefield for years and haven't even seen a glimpse of a Primal Rune." "Heh, even if you did see one, could you protect it?"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion, their eyes filled with admiration as they looked at Jiang Chen.
More than 300 abyssal demons and dragons, all at least level 50, were killed so easily.
Even with the help of the Primal Rune, it is enough to prove Jiang Chen's own strength!
This battle was all bark and no bite!
