[Ding~ Killed Level 7 Moon Demon, Experience Points +25!]
[Ding~ Killed Level 8 Moon Demon, Experience Points +32!]
[Ding~ Killed Level 8 Moon Demon, Experience Points +32!]
...
[Ding~ Congratulations! Your team has killed a total of 50 Moon Demons, completing the third tier of the dungeon quest 'Path of Exorcism'. Rewards have been upgraded!]
...
The attack of the Undead Warriors was like a tornado destroying a parking lot.
The Moon Demons in the Moon Demon Sanctuary were utterly defenseless, being swept away effortlessly.
When Tianxuan·Zongheng and three girl players followed Lu Ming into the sanctuary, they were greeted by the sight of Moon Demon corpses strewn all over the ground.
Lu Ming refined these corpses one by one.
He kept an eye on the summoning panel, ready to summon new Undead Warriors to fill any gaps as soon as one fell.
At the moment, Lu Ming had only learned one skill: War Tread.
This skill significantly boosted the attack power of his Undead Warriors, but did not enhance any other attributes.
Unless they could kill instantly, any chance for the Moon Demons to retaliate with their 70-80 attack points could severely damage the lightly armored Undead Warriors!
Thus, casualties among the Undead Warriors were inevitable.
However, with an ample supply of soul power, Lu Ming suffered no real losses.
Before he knew it, in less than two hours, the task progress had reached the ninth tier!
At this point, Lu Ming had reached Level 7.
Meanwhile, the three girls who had been tagging along with Lu Ming were ecstatic.
"I just checked online. Those 4-carry-1 teams, with four Level 8 pros carrying a Level 6 newbie, take at least 4 hours and 12 minutes to clear the tenth tier of the Moon Demon Sanctuary!"
"And we’ve only been at it for 1 hour and 48 minutes..."
"Oh my god, this is our first time doing this dungeon, and we're already at the tenth tier!"
"Don't celebrate too soon. I heard we still need to kill a dungeon boss to complete the tenth tier!"
"The boss is supposedly Black Iron level and really tough! Many players have died to this boss, not even having time to escape!"
Just as they were speaking.
Boom—
As the total number of Moon Demons killed reached 300, the ground suddenly shook violently.
Ahead in the depths of the Moon Demon Sanctuary, a massive blood-red barrier tore through space and materialized!
Following that, a super Moon Demon, three meters tall, wearing a blood crown, draped in a red cape, and wielding a mighty sword, stepped out from the barrier!
A scarlet aura spread in all directions.
The powerful presence and overwhelming intimidation made the three girls, except for Lu Ming and Tianxuan·Zongheng, involuntarily step back several paces.
At this moment, the team channel displayed the data panel of the large Moon Demon shared by Tianxuan·Zongheng.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
[Blood Demon Krus] (Physical Type · Black Iron Level BOSS)
[Level: 8]
[Physical Attack: 144]
[Armor: 55]
[Magic Resistance: 46]
[Speed: 42]
[Health Points: 4980]
[Skills: Blood Slash (E-level), Blood Demon Shield (E-level), Blood Demon Roar (E-level)...]
[Description: A demon resurrected from hell, Blood Demon Krus's mission is to obey the darkness and kill all humans who intrude into the Sky Abyss world...]
"Such high attack and health!"
"I doubt I can withstand even one attack from the boss..."
"Plus, there are two elite guards next to the boss! How do we fight this?"
The girls were all awed by the boss's formidable attributes, their mouths agape.
On either side of Blood Demon Krus stood a Blood Demon Guard, stronger than ordinary monsters but weaker than the boss: Level 8 elite monsters.
Elite Blood Demon Guards had an attack power of 110, armor of 45, and health points of 1800.
For most teams, dealing with two elite monsters plus a Black Iron level boss was a daunting task.
This was why over 90% of teams that struggled to reach the tenth tier of the dungeon failed at this final hurdle!
At this moment, Blood Demon Krus let out a chilling laugh.
"Heh heh heh..."
"Insignificant humans, how dare you trespass into the sacred land of the Moon Demon clan!"
"You shall find your rest in this forbidden zone!"
With the boss gripping its giant sword, it charged forward with its two guards.
In the team, the usually composed middle-aged knight, Tianxuan·Zongheng, became even more cautious.
He fixed his gaze on the boss, analyzing the strategy carefully: "This boss has high defense, and its passive skill, Blood Demon Shield, makes it stronger as it fights. We must end the battle quickly."
"Moreover, its AOE skill, Blood Demon Roar, is very powerful, but it has a 2.7-second casting delay. Once you see the delay, retreat immediately; you can't withstand it!"
"Additionally..."
Just as Tianxuan·Zongheng was analyzing intently.
"Attack."
With a thought from Lu Ming.
Seventy Undead Warriors surged forward, engulfing the Blood Demon and its guards like a tidal wave.
Slash, slash, slash, slash!
-266!
-266!
-266!
-256!
-256!
...
Under the onslaught of the Undead Warriors, the two Blood Demon Guards barely had a chance to react before being slain!
Blood Demon Krus managed to kill three Undead Warriors with its sword before being overwhelmed by the damage and killed.
"Damn it! How could I... fall to mere mortals..."
With endless resentment and anger, Blood Demon Krus's massive body crashed to the ground.
[Ding~ Your teammate Nether killed Level 8 Elite Monster · Blood Demon Guard, you received 30% participation reward, Experience Points +150!]
[Ding~ Your teammate Nether killed Level 8 Elite Monster · Blood Demon Guard, you received 30% participation reward, Experience Points +150!]
[Ding~ Your teammate Nether killed Level 8 Black Iron Level BOSS · Blood Demon Krus, you received 30% participation reward, Experience Points +600!]
At this moment, the air fell silent.
The three girl players behind widened their eyes.
Even Tianxuan·Zongheng, who had always been calm, was momentarily stunned, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes!
A Level 8 Black Iron Level BOSS... instantly killed!
And two Level 8 elite monsters on top of that!
Is this something a normal Level 7 player can do?
Lu Ming remained calm, as if this outcome was within his expectations.
Because his Lv7 War Tread, with its comprehensive amplification, had already increased his attack power by 100% +250.
With the War Tread boost, the Undead Warriors' attack power reached 311 points!
Facing the elite Blood Demon Guards with only 45 armor and the Black Iron Level BOSS Blood Demon with 55 armor was like slicing through butter.
Lu Ming quickly had the Undead Warriors handle the loot.
As expected of a BOSS and elite monsters, the drop rate was impressive!
From Blood Demon Krus and the two Blood Demon Guards, they collected a total of 7 Silver Coins + 45 Copper Coins.
And an F-level Warrior Skill Scroll · Execute.
Three pieces of equipment, two of which were ordinary Level 8 white items.
The other was a Level 8 Black Iron Equipment, though not part of the Moon Demon set.
After all, this BOSS had been farmed by players countless times, so getting a Black Iron Equipment was already a blessing.
By rule, all dungeon rewards should be shared among the team.
But since Lu Ming contributed 99.9% of the effort in the dungeon, the other freeloaders were naturally too embarrassed to claim a share.
For them, just completing the dungeon and receiving the tenth tier quest reward by following Lu Ming was already more than satisfying.
After handling the loot, Lu Ming opened the dungeon exit portal and left the dungeon.
Back at the entrance of the Moon Demon Sanctuary dungeon, he submitted the quest to the NPC guard.
[Ding~ Congratulations on clearing the Moon Demon Sanctuary dungeon, with the highest quest completion progress at the tenth tier, you received: Experience Points +3000, Silver Coins +2!]
[Ding~ As the first time clearing the dungeon as a leader at the tenth tier, you triggered the condition to 100% obtain a piece of Moon Demon set equipment, congratulations on obtaining Moon Demon Legguards +1!]
Wow!
Golden light showered down on Lu Ming's head.
The system's pleasant voice rang out again.
[Ding~ Congratulations on reaching Level 8... Next level requires 5000 Experience Points!]
Finally, Level 8!
"I can now tackle the Level 8-10 dungeon [Scarlet Zone] to get that ten-billion-dollar infinite upgrade skill scroll!"
Thinking of ten billion dollars, Lu Ming couldn't help but feel a bit excited.
But there's no rush for now.
It's already 3 AM.
At 8 AM, he has something important to do, which is to get back at Ye Chen!
So Lu Ming decided not to push it, planning to log off and get some sleep, then deal with Ye Chen at 8 AM before heading to the dungeon.
After all, no one has cleared the Hell difficulty of the Scarlet Zone in a hundred years.
What's meant to be his will be his, it won't escape.
Lu Ming wasn't worried about anyone beating him to it.
Just then, Tianxuan·Zongheng and the other three girls exited the dungeon.
The girls didn't rush to submit their quests but instead ran to Lu Ming.
"Hey handsome, can we add each other on WeChat? I'll transfer the money for carrying me through the dungeon!"
"Nether brother, do you... have a girlfriend?"
Lu Ming saw through their little schemes.
They just wanted to stick around because he was strong, hoping he could carry them in Sky Abyss in the future.
That's how the world works.
In the Sky Abyss world, strength is everything.
The stronger you are, the more respect and admiration you receive.
Even if you look like a toad, as long as you're skilled in Sky Abyss, you'll never lack money, nor young and beautiful women by your side.
Having lived through his past life, Lu Ming understood it all too well.
Women can only become stumbling blocks on his path to success!
So, Lu Ming opened his WeChat payment code and smiled at the three girls: "I'll take the money, but we don't need to be friends."
Lu Ming didn't overcharge them.
Even though the market price for a tenth-tier Moon Demon Sanctuary team ride was a thousand, Lu Ming only charged them a hundred each, as agreed before entering the dungeon.
Tianxuan·Zongheng also went over to scan and pay Lu Ming a hundred.
Watching Lu Ming turn and leave, the girls felt a sense of unwillingness.
They wondered: Are they not young and pretty enough?
Why wouldn't Lu Ming even spare them a glance?
Meanwhile, Tianxuan·Zongheng, standing quietly to the side, watched Lu Ming's departing figure, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
He opened his WeChat and sent a message to a contact named [Tianxuan·Eternal]: "Captain, you were right, the Trickster with the ID Nether is indeed extraordinarily strong!"
"He can solo the tenth tier of the Moon Demon Sanctuary dungeon! I estimate his account strength is at least five-star!"
Soon, Tianxuan·Eternal replied: "No matter what, make sure to recruit him into our Tianxuan Team."
Tianxuan·Zongheng: "Understood!"
