Under the relentless assault of Jiang Chen's skills, the headless corpses, along with the countless blood, decayed flesh, and human skin within the underground palace, vanished without a trace.
The entire area was left with nothing but an extremely dense blood-red mist.
In fact, Qian Xingtianxia and his group, their vision obscured by the thick fog, could barely see Jiang Chen's figure in the midst of it all.
"Mortal World, my brother!"
Qian Xingtianxia shouted.
Unable to see Jiang Chen, he felt an inexplicable lack of security.
"It's not over yet."
Jiang Chen's voice came through.
At this moment, he stood at the center of the dense fog, clearly observing the blood-red mist before him, continuously churning and surging.
It seemed as if an invisible giant hand was stirring it.
Soon, the blood mist that filled the underground palace retreated rapidly towards the center like a tide.
Qian Xingtianxia and his group could now clearly see Jiang Chen's figure.
But before they could rejoice, they noticed that the blood mist hadn't dissipated but had instead gathered entirely in front of Jiang Chen!
The dense fog within the entire underground palace formed into a mass, as if it was about to transform into something.
Subsequently, the blood mist became increasingly solid.
Under the terrified gazes of Qian Xingtianxia and his group, a massive red figure floated in the center of the underground palace.
It had a humanoid shape, entirely composed of blood mist, with two spots of black light where its eyes should be.
Sinister and eerie.
[Corpse Blood Shaman (Gold-level Elite): LV25]
[Blood Ban: The Corpse Blood Shaman is surrounded by a large amount of blood mist. Targets tainted by it will be silenced, unable to cast skills.]
[Blood Drain: All health points lost by the target will be used as nourishment to restore the Corpse Blood Shaman's state.]
"Those flesh anomalies can reassemble into monsters, and it seems this blood mist is no different."
Jiang Chen looked at the Corpse Blood Shaman before him, not surprised by its appearance.
However, being touched by this thing would result in silence.
That was a bit troublesome.
Although silence effects aren't uncommon, having it on a level 25 gold-level elite monster was somewhat excessive.
Moreover, this boss was quite large, and the blood mist on it covered an area of at least two meters.

For melee fighters, they could basically forget about using skills.
However, for Jiang Chen, it didn't matter.
How much health does a gold-level elite monster have anyway?
"Life Sacrifice!"
Jiang Chen stepped forward, using the five-star skill he acquired in the Skill Pavilion.
A white circle of light, the size of their bodies, appeared beneath both him and the elite monster.
The circle beneath the elite monster was a cross, while the one beneath Jiang Chen was a single line.
-!
Instantly, a terrifying amount of damage erupted from the Corpse Blood Shaman, reducing its health bar by 25% in an instant!
Its body visibly shrank by a quarter.
This Corpse Blood Shaman had exactly 80,000 health points.
And a number floated above Jiang Chen's head.
+188!
Jiang Chen now had a total of 755 health points, and this recovery number was just about 25% of his total health.
This was the effect of [Life Sacrifice]: reducing the target's health by 25% and restoring 25% of one's own health.
"Twenty thousand points of damage???"
Qian Xingtianxia, seeing Jiang Chen use this skill for the first time, was wide-eyed, his jaw almost dropping to the ground in shock.
"How many skills does he have? Each one more terrifying than the last!"
Zainxia Faye felt his imagination's limits being shattered time and again.
Such five-digit damage, he wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
In the center of the scene.
The Corpse Blood Shaman raised its arm made of blood mist, extending it continuously until it was over ten meters long, directly reaching for Jiang Chen.
"Fing hell, it's a ranged attacker too!"
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed, quickly repositioning himself.
However, the Corpse Blood Shaman's arm didn't retract but instead pursued Jiang Chen.
Its speed was incredibly fast.
If it touched him, the damage would be minor, but being silenced would be a major issue.
"Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array!"
"Angel's Hymn!"
Jiang Chen decided to quickly unleash his skills.
Immediately, a dazzling hexagram magic array and a pure angelic phantom appeared on the scene.
-5538! (Double Cast)
-3830!
-2769!
A total of three damage numbers appeared above the Corpse Blood Shaman's head.
The first was the damage from the Small Holy Light Apocalypse Array, and the latter two were caused by Angel's Hymn.
The Corpse Blood Shaman's body, upon receiving the damage, continuously shrank.
Subsequently, the extended blood mist arm also touched Jiang Chen.
-315!
As the damage number appeared above his head, Jiang Chen's skills became unusable, and he was silenced.
"No matter."
Jiang Chen murmured softly to himself.
At this moment, the hexagram magic array and the angelic phantom continued to deal damage, and in less than 10 seconds, this elite monster would fall.
Moreover, during this time, the long blood hand couldn't kill him.
However, in Qian Xingtianxia's eyes, it was different. He saw Jiang Chen's health drop by over 40% in an instant.
"What are you standing there for? Quickly heal Mortal World, my brother!"
Qian Xingtianxia shouted urgently at Late-night Fairy.
He knew that Jiang Chen absolutely couldn't die.
"Healing Spell!"
"Healing Wave!"
Late-night Fairy snapped out of it, immediately casting two skills.
Instantly, a white light fell on Jiang Chen.
Following it was a ripple-shaped wave of white light.
+245!
+320!
Jiang Chen's health was instantly full, with quite a bit of overflow.
"These skills are cast too casually."
Jiang Chen shook his head helplessly.
This was purely a waste of healing.
Among the first 100 people to reach the Royal City, Qian Xingtianxia's team probably had the lowest game skills, not counting equipment.
"Fing hell, how did you cast the skill? Others lose 300 health, and you heal over 500?"
Qian Xingtianxia couldn't help but curse.
"Didn't you just scare me with your loud shout?"
Late-night Fairy muttered discontentedly.
"How dare you talk back? As a healer, I have to remind you to heal? What are you even playing?" Qian Xingtianxia said angrily.
"Why are you so fierce? All you do is yell. What have you done? Just tagging along behind others," Late-night Fairy retorted.
And so, the two of them started arguing.
During their argument, the Corpse Blood Shaman in front of Jiang Chen continued to lose health, its body gradually shrinking.
Finally, it completely disappeared.
"Young Master Qian, it's over!"
Zainxia Faye said to Qian Xingtianxia, who was still arguing.
"It's over?"
Qian Xingtianxia paused, stopped arguing, and looked towards the center of the underground palace.
It was empty, with only Jiang Chen standing there.
His eyes lit up with joy, and he rushed forward, shouting, "Mortal World, my brother, well done!"
Late-night Fairy and Zainxia Faye also moved forward, joining Jiang Chen.
"What a pity, no loot dropped."
Looking at the empty ground, Jiang Chen muttered to himself with slight disappointment.
Just as he finished speaking.
"Boom~"
A loud rumbling sound echoed from ahead.
Everyone looked over.
A crack suddenly appeared on the wall at the end of the underground palace.
Then, the walls on both sides began to move apart.
The crack widened, and finally, a large doorway opened.
It was an entrance.
Through the entrance, they could clearly see there was another inner chamber inside.
And in the center of the inner chamber, a dark red treasure chest was quietly placed.
The treasure chest was enormous, at least two to three meters long, with ancient patterns carved on it.
"The Treasure Map's treasure!"
Qian Xingtianxia's eyes were filled with ecstasy.
This treasure chest looked exactly like the one depicted on the Treasure Map!
"Could it be the Undying Clan's legacy?"
Jiang Chen looked at the ancient patterns on the treasure chest, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
If it really contained the Undying Clan's legacy, he might have to consider sending his teammates back to the respawn point!
