"Is that female Knight really that powerful?"

A male Knight looked at War Breaks the Sky, curiosity evident in his voice.

"More than just powerful. I can confidently say, there are very few in the entire national server who can match her."

War Breaks the Sky's face was full of certainty.

Beside him, Heal Breaks the Sky and Stab Breaks the Sky, the two brothers, nodded seriously, clearly agreeing.

"Are there such formidable players even in the Beginner's Village?"

"Brother, can you tell us more?"

Not only was the male Knight curious, but the surrounding people were also very interested.

"Did you see that Priest who went in with her earlier?"

Seeing everyone looking at him, War Breaks the Sky cleared his throat and asked loudly.

"You mean that handsome guy? What's up with him?" someone asked.

"That Priest was on the level leaderboard before!" War Breaks the Sky announced loudly.

"Now that you mention it, I remember. When the leaderboard first came out, there was indeed a Priest named Mortal World on it!" a player confirmed.

Everyone immediately had a thoughtful expression.

"Brother, what does that have to do with the female Knight?" someone asked, puzzled.

"Heh, guess why that Priest could get on the leaderboard? It's because he teamed up with that female Knight! I reckon that Priest is a gigolo."

War Breaks the Sky spoke confidently, as if he saw through everything.

"Are you saying that the female Knight is keeping a pretty boy and boosted him onto the leaderboard?" someone with a wild imagination asked, looking shocked.

As soon as these words were spoken, many people had a look of sudden realization.

"I won't say more; those who understand, understand."

War Breaks the Sky showed a mysterious smile and refused to say more despite further questions.

At this moment, he was in a very good mood.

Not just him, but the other two brothers of the Sky family also felt inexplicably pleased.

It was as if being instantly killed back then was justifiable.

After all, being instantly killed is not something to be proud of, but if the opponent is a top-tier expert, it's worth feeling relieved.

This was why War Breaks the Sky was lavishly praising Qing Ying.

It was both an excuse for himself and a reason for being instantly killed.

Inside the Vortex Gate.

Jiang Chen and the two women had just stepped inside when they received a system prompt:

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

[You have entered the dungeon: Ancient Mystic Realm (Bronze Level).]

Indeed, the Ancient Mystic Realm was a Bronze Level dungeon, the first dungeon players could encounter.

Jiang Chen and the two women stood on a blackened land. In front of them was a transparent door made of special energy.

Through the door, they could clearly see a shadow-covered graveyard.

The scene was completely different from where Jiang Chen and the others stood.

It was as if the door separated two worlds.

"What are we supposed to do? Why aren't there any monsters?" Qing Ying asked, puzzled.

"Look around. There are four raised stone plates on the ground. Just stand on them."

After Jiang Chen spoke, he walked to the nearest stone plate and stood on it.

Only then did Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao notice the raised circular plates on the ground and quickly stood on them.

"What about the last one?" Qing Ying asked, seeing one stone plate still empty.

"Don't we have a summoned beast?" Jiang Chen reminded.

"Oh, right."

Tao Xiaoyao immediately reacted, quickly summoning the Big Yellow Dog and letting it stand on the plate.

Then, the four raised stone plates slowly descended to the same level as the ground.

The transparent door in front of them slowly opened.

"Is this for real?"

Qing Ying was stunned.

Soon, the ground in the graveyard behind the door cracked open, and skeleton monsters crawled out of the soil.

[Skeleton Warrior: LV10]

[Skeleton Knight: LV10]

[Skeleton Mage: LV10]

[Skeleton Sorcerer: LV10]

[Skeleton Assassin: LV10]

[Skeleton Archer: LV10]

[Skeleton Hound: LV10]

A total of seven skeleton monsters.

Each skeleton monster held a weapon corresponding to its class.

The Skeleton Warrior had a large bone knife; the Skeleton Knight had a bone sword and bone shield;

The Skeleton Mage and Skeleton Sorcerer each held a bone staff;

The Skeleton Archer and Skeleton Assassin held bone daggers and longbows, respectively.

"These skeleton monsters correspond to the seven player classes?"

Qing Ying's eyes widened in surprise.

"Emmm, why does the Summoner correspond to a big skeleton dog…"

Tao Xiaoyao muttered softly, a bit of dissatisfaction on her petite face.

"Yes, these small monsters correspond to the major player classes, and they also have the basic skills of each class," Jiang Chen said.

"Even the Knight's Shield Block?" Qing Ying exclaimed.

"Not only that, their attributes, such as attack, defense, and health, are similar to the basic attributes of level 10 players of each class."

As Jiang Chen spoke, he walked towards the graveyard.

"Similar attributes to players? That means…"

Tao Xiaoyao had a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Qing Ying looked over: "Does it mean they're very strong?"

"No."

Tao Xiaoyao shook her head: "It means, a top player can instantly kill them!"

As soon as she finished speaking.

Jiang Chen had already reached the small monsters, positioned himself, and cast a Healing Ray.

The white healing ray connected with the farthest Skeleton Sorcerer.

Immediately, the ray passed through it and almost instantly rebounded to the nearby Skeleton Mage and Skeleton Archer.

-460!

-460!

-460!

Three damage numbers appeared, and the three ranged skeletons fell to the ground.

The remaining four melee skeletons also fell one after another under Jiang Chen's 2.5-second Healing Spell.

Except for the Skeleton Knight, which used Shield Block to immune one damage.

The remaining three skeletons were all killed in one hit!

"This…"

"So ridiculous!"

Although they knew Jiang Chen could instantly kill them, seeing it happen still felt surreal to Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao.

It was too easy and effortless!

In fact, only Jiang Chen could do it so easily; other players didn't have such high damage.

If they couldn't instantly kill the skeleton monsters, especially the Skeleton Sorcerer, which could use Healing Spells, it would be very difficult for players to deal with.

Moreover, although the skeleton monsters' attributes were similar to level 10 players' basic attributes,

They had a passive aura, Bone Body: Damage Resistance +50%!

At this stage, this was deadly for other players!

However, this resistance had no effect on Jiang Chen.

"My Healing Spell deals true damage, ignoring everything except invincibility skills!"

After a brief pause, Jiang Chen looked at the ground, smiling broadly.

Because under the corpses of several skeleton monsters, there was a faint glow!

Dungeon monsters had a much higher drop rate than wild monsters!

Seven skeleton monsters dropped three pieces of equipment!

Quickly picking up the loot.

A total of three Bronze Level pieces of equipment!

A few seconds later.

The ground cracked open again, and more skeleton monsters crawled out!

This was the second wave, with a total of 14 skeleton monsters.

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. To him, these small monsters weren't just monsters; they were pieces of equipment!

Before all the skeleton monsters could crawl out.

The ones at the front, even with half their bodies still in the ground, were instantly killed by Jiang Chen.

After killing them all.

Jiang Chen's backpack had six more pieces of Bronze Level equipment!

Then, the third wave of small monsters arrived.

A total of 21 skeleton monsters crawled out of the ground.

……

After killing them all again, Jiang Chen happily picked up the equipment.

In this world, there was probably nothing more satisfying than picking up loot.

Jiang Chen thought.

Suddenly!

A prominent message flashed by.

[Qian Xingtianxia: Whose Blood Tide Greatsword is on the marketplace? Please PM me, I'll buy it at a high price and guarantee your satisfaction!]

Jiang Chen was stunned.

This message was sent to the entire server.

And only with a special item could such a message be sent.

At this stage, there wouldn't be more than a handful of such items in the entire national server.

This message was like a stone thrown into a thousand waves!

Several more messages followed.

[Domineering Madman: Buying the Blood Tide Greatsword on the marketplace. No matter whose it is, as long as you're willing to sell, you'll always be a friend of the 'Kingdom of Heaven' guild!]

[Blade-Raising Slayer of Yama: Brother, sell it to our 'Heavenly Court' guild. Any request, as long as it's possible, we won't refuse!]

[Ming Yue Enters My Arms: The brother who listed the Blood Tide Greatsword, please PM me. I'm sincerely buying.]

……

Seeing these messages, Jiang Chen checked the time. It was just after 2 PM.

There was still more than an hour before the Blood Tide Greatsword auction ended.

"Why are they all in such a hurry to buy it now?"

Jiang Chen frowned, thinking briefly, then muttered to himself, "Could it be for the first clear of the Ancient Mystic Realm?"

"Looks like we need to slow down this dungeon run and wait for the Blood Tide Greatsword auction to end before clearing it!"

"Let them fight over it!"
