"Foolish slaves, let me show you what a nightmare truly is!"
An angry voice echoed from the sky.
In an instant, numerous black figures appeared on the square in front of the castle.
Their upper bodies were humanoid, with claw-like hands raised high and fangs protruding from their mouths.
Their lower bodies ended in tails, which were attached to the ground like shadows.
Or rather, they were shadows.
Their entire bodies were as dark as ink, with only two points of red light shining from their eyes.
[Nightmare Shadow: LV20]
"Pull the aggro, be careful, they're fast."
Jiang Chen scanned the field. There were a total of 20 small monsters, scattered around.
A typical team might have to deal with them one by one, but Jiang Chen didn't need to.
"Got it!"
Qing Ying nodded and quickly approached the shadows.
"Xiao Huang, Da Hui!"
Tao Xiaoyao summoned the Big Yellow Dog and the Gray Bear.
The two summoned beasts charged forward.
Immediately, the shadows shifted their focus to Qing Ying and the summoned beasts, swiftly gliding over.
Their speed was incredible; Qing Ying had just attracted the third monster when the first one was already in front of her.
The shadow extended its claws and slashed down quickly!
-85
A damage number appeared above Qing Ying's head.
Her health was now at 1260 points.
Her defense was an impressive 185 points!
She could easily withstand the shadow's attacks.
On the other side, the Gray Bear and the Big Yellow Dog were also under attack.
A damage number floated above the Gray Bear: -169!
Its health dropped by about 21%!
The Big Yellow Dog, with weaker defense, took 211 points of damage, reducing its health by about 35%!
It couldn't withstand many more hits from the shadows!

"Such high damage!"
Tao Xiaoyao frowned and muttered to herself.
Moreover, these small monsters were very fast, leaving little room for maneuvering.
Fortunately, there weren't too many shadows on the field.
As the Big Yellow Dog fell.
The shadows had already gathered quite a bit.
Jiang Chen quickly assessed the distance between the small monsters and moved to the center of the field.
"Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array!"
A dazzling hexagram magic array and a Purple Crystal Ball appeared.
The shadows were all enveloped by the light of the array.
-4450! (Double Cast)
In an instant, the health of the small monsters dropped by 44.5%!
They shifted their aggro and charged toward the array's caster.
However, before they could get close to Jiang Chen.
All 20 small monsters fell to the ground.
Six faint lights shone from their bodies.
The drop rate for small monsters in this dungeon was very high!
Jiang Chen quickly picked up the loot from the ground.
A total of six pieces of equipment, five Bronze Level, and one Silver Level!
Small monsters in a Silver Level dungeon had a chance to drop Bronze Level equipment.
With the 'Loot Quality +1' effect, this was Silver Level equipment!
Then.
A thunderous voice echoed from the sky again.
"Very well! You lowly creatures have successfully angered me. I will ensure you are forever trapped in nightmares, never to be reborn!"
"Enough!"
Jiang Chen waved his hand impatiently, "Stop with the adolescent delusions, bring on the next wave!"
The dialogue was really dragging on.
"My minions, kill them!"
As the voice fell.
The square was once again filled with humanoid shadows.
However, these shadows all wielded long spears, resembling soldiers!
[Shadow Guard (Silver Level Elite): LV20]
[Shape Shift: Can freely change attack forms and skill traits!]
A total of eight Silver Level elite monsters were scattered around the field.
One of them was not far from Qing Ying.
It quickly charged toward her.
"Such a long aggro range?"
Tao Xiaoyao was slightly surprised.
Then.
The elite monster stopped about 20 meters away from Qing Ying.
It raised its spear and thrust it into the air.
Hmm?
Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao were both slightly puzzled.
Attacking the air from such a distance?
Suddenly!
The elite monster's spear transformed into a longbow, and the spearhead became an arrow.
The arrow flew rapidly toward Qing Ying!
-127
A damage number appeared above Qing Ying's head.
"These elite monsters can switch between ranged and melee attacks, don't be fooled by their weapons."
Jiang Chen quickly approached and cast a Healing Spell on the elite monster.
-2275!
With the white light falling, the elite monster's health instantly dropped by about 15%.
It quickly charged toward Jiang Chen.
Ignoring it, Jiang Chen moved on to the other elite monsters after casting the Healing Spell.
Soon, Jiang Chen had attracted the aggro of all the elite monsters.
Two of them swung their spears from a distance.
They cast two Fireball Spells at Jiang Chen.
The movements were quite deceptive, but Jiang Chen had anticipated it. He shifted his steps and dodged the Fireball Spells.
Another elite monster even aimed its spear at an injured teammate.
Then, a Healing Spell's white light fell on the teammate, restoring 260 Health Points!
After healing its teammate, it used a charge skill to reach Jiang Chen.
It delivered a heavy blow.
Jiang Chen dodged and released the Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array!
At this moment, all eight elite monsters were within the skill's range.
They were enveloped by the hexagram magic array, and their health dropped rapidly!
-4450! (Double Cast)
In less than four seconds, all the elite monsters fell to the ground.
Three faint lights shone from their bodies.
Jiang Chen quickly picked them up.
A total of three pieces of Silver Level equipment.
"Such bad luck!"
Jiang Chen muttered.
The elite monsters in this dungeon had a chance to drop Silver Level equipment.
But Jiang Chen had only gotten three pieces of Bronze Level equipment.
Still, compared to the small monsters outside, the drop rate was vastly different.
And the difficulty of the small monsters here was manageable, making it a good opportunity.
It's easy to imagine that in a few days, when the first wave of players reaches level 20 and enters the dungeon, the equipment market will be heavily impacted.
"The appetizers are over, time for the main course!"
Jiang Chen looked at the black castle ahead and muttered.
As soon as he finished speaking.
The castle's doors slowly opened.
Jiang Chen immediately walked in.
Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao followed closely behind.
Soon.
They appeared in the castle hall.
It was at least a thousand square meters.
At the end of the hall, there was a staircase leading up to a high platform, where a black crystal chair was placed.
A young man, looking about twenty years old and exceptionally handsome, was sitting on the crystal chair.
His pupils were light blue, and his beautiful face was more attractive than a woman's!
"Is this the Lord of Dreams? With looks like that... why be a BOSS?"
Qing Ying looked at the young man on the chair and muttered, "Now I believe he's Yuna's brother."
"Yuna is still prettier..."
Tao Xiaoyao responded.
Jiang Chen never expected the two girls to start discussing the BOSS's appearance here.
It made him chuckle.
But he could understand.
After all, the Lord of Dreams was ranked in the top three of the [Gods] NPC appearance list made by players.
If he weren't a villain, he might have taken first place!
Because of this, even in the later stages of the dungeon, female players often came to farm the BOSS.
It's quite tragic when you think about it.
At this moment.
The Lord of Dreams on the chair looked at Jiang Chen and the others and said slowly, "Lowly slaves, why do you not bow when you see your master?"
"Master? Slaves? I'll treat you right away!"
Jiang Chen pursed his lips and quickly walked forward.
