"Kill them all?"

Not only did Qian Xingtianxia look shocked, but Zainxia Faye and Late-night Fairy were also stunned, thinking they had misheard.

These were all level 24 small monsters. Taking on one or two was manageable, but how could they possibly kill all twenty or thirty of them?

"Stop dawdling, move back!"

Jiang Chen shouted again.

At this moment, there were three small monsters closest to Qian Xingtianxia. One was already attacking him, and the other two were about three to four meters away.

Further away, more than twenty small monsters were quickly approaching.

Although Qian Xingtianxia didn't know how Jiang Chen planned to deal with these Mad Rabbitmen, he had no choice but to retreat.

He didn't dare to make a move; if he stopped, this group of small monsters would surely overwhelm him!

"Mortal World!"

Qian Xingtianxia shouted, pinning his hopes on Jiang Chen.

"Healing Ray!"

Seeing that the others had moved a bit further away, Jiang Chen immediately chanted.

A white healing ray quickly formed in front of him, connecting to the three Mad Rabbitmen that had approached Qian Xingtianxia.

He didn't use the Transformation Stone.

-4799! (Double Cast!)

The same damage value appeared above the heads of the three small monsters.

Their health decreased by nearly half.

These small monsters had nearly ten thousand health points.

Immediately, the three linked small monsters abandoned the chase on Qian Xingtianxia and charged towards Jiang Chen.

The other small monsters at the entrance also shifted their aggro to Jiang Chen because he was closer.

When not damaged, a small monster's aggro depends on the distance between them.

"This damage... four thousand eight?!"

Qian Xingtianxia rubbed his eyes in disbelief at the numbers above the monsters' heads.

With three pieces of gold-level equipment on him, his single-target burst skill didn't even exceed four digits!

This was outrageous!

Zainxia Faye, standing a bit further away, almost lost his balance at the sight.

"What the hell! What kind of insane damage is this? A five-star skill?"

His mindset began to shift slightly.

As a damage-dealing mage, he couldn't understand why a priest could be so terrifying.

Immediately, the same damage appeared again above the heads of the three small monsters.

Qian Xingtianxia and Zainxia Faye then realized that the white line in front of Jiang Chen was actually a continuous damage effect!

It was as if absurdity itself had opened the door to even more absurdity!

"Those three small monsters are dead!"

Late-night Fairy shouted in surprise.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

"A single skill to kill level 24 small monsters... this game shouldn't be called 'Gods,' it should be called 'Priest God.'"

Qian Xingtianxia felt like his worldview had been completely overturned.

"But that whole group of small monsters has surrounded him. No matter how high his damage is, he can't handle them all, right?"

Zainxia Faye was both shocked and doubtful.

With so many small monsters, if each one attacked just once, the bleeding damage would stack up, and not even a god could save him.

He stared intently at Jiang Chen, wondering why the latter still looked so calm.

"Almost there... Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array!"

Jiang Chen saw the nearest small monster had reached him.

And the furthest one had also entered the skill's range.

Immediately, a hexagram magic array appeared.

The holy white light enveloped all the small monsters on the field.

-2769!

A damage number floated above each Mad Rabbitman's head.

"Bad luck, no double trigger."

Jiang Chen muttered softly.

This meant it would take four seconds to clear all the small monsters on the field.

The nearest small monster, although covered in a layer of fine arcs and its speed reduced by 50%, was already swinging its sharp claws down.

Jiang Chen shifted his steps, easily dodging the attack.

As he maneuvered, three more small monsters approached.

One of them leaped directly at him.

Jiang Chen dodged again.

After being slowed, the Mad Rabbitman's [Bloody Pounce] was also affected.

Jiang Chen, like a butterfly dancing through flowers, dodged the attacks of five small monsters in succession.

One of his maneuvers even avoided two small monsters at once.

It looked like a miraculous feat!

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe someone could use footwork to such an extent!"

Qian Xingtianxia swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing.

"This must have been practiced thousands of times. Why would a priest be so skilled in close combat footwork?"

Zainxia Faye couldn't understand.

All long-range classes, especially priests, stood at the back of the team and never faced wild monsters directly.

They didn't have the opportunity to practice such close combat footwork, as they were too fragile.

Even lone wolves focused on kiting, and only melee classes with sturdy builds practiced such close-range dodging.

Yet Jiang Chen's footwork was better than any melee fighter he had seen.

It reminded him of the "Ultra Instinct" used by the protagonist in an old anime!

It was truly mind-boggling.

Meanwhile, during Jiang Chen's few maneuvers, the hexagram array continued to deal damage.

Soon, all twenty-plus Mad Rabbitmen fell!

The entrance to Quiet Valley was clear!

"They're all... all dead!"

Late-night Fairy looked incredulous, staring at the lone figure on the field, feeling her mouth dry as she licked her lips.

At this moment, several faint glows appeared among the corpses.

"Got some loot."

Jiang Chen murmured, quickly picking them up.

A total of six pieces of level 24 equipment, including four bronze and two silver items!

Without examining them closely, Jiang Chen fed them directly to the Magic Crystal Ball.

The growth value of the [Ancient Necromancer's Magic Crystal Ball (Platinum Level)] reached 4640/.

"Still a long way to go for the growth value. At this rate, it'll take forever. Bronze-level equipment is cheap; I'll just sweep the marketplace later."

Jiang Chen thought to himself, then turned towards Quiet Valley.

He saw Qian Xingtianxia and his group staring straight at him.

"Mortal World..."

Qian Xingtianxia hesitantly spoke.

"What's up? There's no issue with picking up what I killed, right?"

Jiang Chen assumed it was about the loot distribution.

"Of course not!"

Qian Xingtianxia quickly replied, "I just wanted to say, Mortal World, you're incredibly strong!"

"That's good. How far are we from the treasure map location?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It's not far inside Quiet Valley," Qian Xingtianxia replied.

"Then let's move."

Jiang Chen didn't want to waste time.

"Alright!"

Qian Xingtianxia quickly led the way.

Now, Jiang Chen's every word and action seemed to have become law within the group.

Soon, they entered Quiet Valley.

On both sides were slightly steep cliffs, with a wide valley in the middle and a winding stream flowing through.

Although there were groups of wild monsters scattered around, there were still plenty of open spaces to pass through.

The valley was much wider than the entrance.

"Mortal World, should we clear our way through?" Qian Xingtianxia asked with some anticipation.

Jiang Chen shook his head, "Don't waste time. These small monsters aren't worth farming. Let's find the treasure spot quickly!"

"No problem."

Qian Xingtianxia nodded, and they swiftly bypassed the groups of small monsters, reaching the depths of Quiet Valley.

Here, the distance between the cliffs on both sides was noticeably closer.

Soon, Qian Xingtianxia, who was leading the way, stopped.

He took out the treasure map and looked to the left.

On the left cliff, there was a very noticeable gap, as if a piece had been carved out.

"It seems to be here."

Qian Xingtianxia compared the treasure map, looking left and right, finally confirming, "Yes, it's right here at this gap."

"Young Master Qian, there's no path here!"

Zainxia Faye walked over, looking at the recessed cliff with some confusion.

"Yeah, there's no path here."

Qian Xingtianxia furrowed his brows, deep in thought.

Jiang Chen quickly stepped forward, examining the cliff closely.

He soon noticed a rectangular mark on the stone wall, with some indistinct ancient patterns carved inside.

They matched the patterns on the back of the treasure map.

"This is it."

Jiang Chen quickly said, "Place the treasure map on this rectangular mark and try it."

Upon hearing this, Qian Xingtianxia quickly approached.

He glanced at the rectangular mark, then unfolded the treasure map, finding it matched perfectly!

"Mortal World, you're truly wise!"

Qian Xingtianxia praised with delight, then swiftly aligned the treasure map with the rectangular mark.

Immediately, a dark red light glowed from the mark.

"Rumble~"

With a loud noise, as if the earth itself was shaking, the cliff rapidly sank, revealing a bottomless cave entrance.

A downward staircase appeared before them.

Thin wisps of faint red mist wafted up from the stairs.

The air carried a sweet and rotten stench, chilling to the bone.

"This smell..."

Jiang Chen focused, pondering, then slowly said, "Let's go in."

However, he didn't move.

"Go in..."

Qian Xingtianxia, though eager, didn't rush down. He looked at Zainxia Faye.

"Young Master Qian, I..."

Zainxia Faye hesitated, his face showing reluctance.

But seeing Qian Xingtianxia's insistent gaze, he gritted his teeth and nodded, "Alright, I'll go!"

With that, Zainxia Faye took a deep breath and descended the staircase that seemed to lead to an abyss.

Soon, his figure disappeared completely.

"Mortal World, let's go."

Qian Xingtianxia looked at Jiang Chen.

Just as he finished speaking, Zainxia Faye rushed back up the stairs, looking panicked and gasping for breath, unable to speak.

"What happened?" Qian Xingtianxia asked urgently.

"There's something terrifying inside!"

Zainxia Faye seemed to have seen something extremely frightening.

"Terrifying?"

Qian Xingtianxia was puzzled, then cursed in dissatisfaction, "Damn it, is it really that bad? What exactly is in there?"

"Bodies, perhaps?" Jiang Chen's eyes lit up as he inquired.

Zainxia Faye immediately looked at Jiang Chen, trembling as he replied, "Not just that..."

"Then that must be it!"

Jiang Chen's eyes gleamed with excitement as he spoke to himself, then, under the surprised gazes of the others, he walked straight down the stairs.
