Chapter 3: Exterminate the Undead
“Alright, that’s all I’ll be saying. You guys have been preparing for three years to enter the space for the first time. Go on ahead.”
Lin Xuan and the rest did not waste any time. They went to the teleportation gate of the dungeon to form a team and received the temporary party buff. Then, they entered the dungeon-graveyard of the wilderness.
[You have entered the Wilderness Graveyard.]
!!
[You have entered the dungeon space for the first time. Your character card has been activated.]
[Your defense talent has been detected. The dungeon Armor Manipulation has been temporarily installed. You have received the entry-level Armor Manipulation skill. Armor Manipulation skill level 1. It has been upgraded to a mastery level. ]
[Your defense talent has been detected. You will receive a Small Round Shield and a Rattan Armor.]
The sky was gray and there was no sunlight when they entered. The land was barre. Only a few withered and yellow weeds grew sporadically.
Further away, there was a forest of giant rocks. The rocks on the ground were paved with a layer of moss. Although it was a good place to attract monsters and fight, the messy gravel roads on the ground were not easy to walk on.
On the other side was the leafless forest. It was supposed to be a lush forest, but the sun never shone there. The leaves on the trees had all fallen down and covered the ground with a layer. According to the textbook’s description, one should not enter easily… the leaves were not like the stones. This was because they easily covered the swamp. In a dungeon space like the Wilderness Graveyard, which was mainly filled with the undead, there was no shortage of swamps.
Of course, this was only the terrain on both sides. If one looked at it from the front, it would be a flat land. Coupled with the name of the dungeon Wilderness Graveyard, one could imagine that there would be a large number of skeleton monsters sleeping under the land.
Lin Xuan put on the armor that he had just obtained. It fit him quite well, and it was very resilient. No matter how he moved, it would not be too much of a hindrance. There was also a small shield that he could hold in his left hand.
Li Zifei and Lin Xiaoran also obtained equipment and basic skills. Li Zifei had a bow and arrow. She could use her talent to create flaming arrows. Her skill was at a basic archery level 1, Lin Xiaoran was the same. He obtained a pair of shoes that increased his movement speed. As for his skill, it was Basic Healing. It was impossible for this thing to be level 1, but it could be enhanced by Lin Xiaoran’s talent.
“So where should we go?”
Lin Xuan asked casually. Li Zifei and Lin Xiaoran looked at each other and said in unison, “To the wilderness.”
How would one find out if they were compatible with each other? Naturally, that would depend on how the other party would deal with a situation when there is a large number of monsters surrounding them.
In this Wilderness Graveyard, there was only one type of monster, the Skeleton Warrior. It had low HP, low attack, low defense, and its movement speed was slow. It was a rookie’s lucky target. This was also the reason why the teacher did not enter to protect and handle each group. If his students failed at defeating the skeletons, the teacher would just be considered a failure.
“Lin Xuan, you’re in charge of attracting the monsters. Within the range that you can bear, the more the better. This is also a test for you.”
Lin Xuan nodded. He tightened the armor on his body and adjusted his shield. He then looked at the first skill that had already been activated on his talent card — No Damage. He grinned. ‘If you want to ask me how much I can attract… I could attract all the monsters in this dungeon for sure!’
He jogged all the way and began to enjoy himself in the wilderness. From the ground, one after another, skeleton hands broke out. Then, one after another, the Skeleton Warriors crawled up with fresh soil on their bodies and began to chase after Lin Xuan.
The Skeleton Warriors did not move very fast. Their frames trembled when they reached the upper ground.
More than a hundred or so warriors were active.
When Lin Xuan brought back more than a hundred Skeleton Warriors, Li Zifei and Lin Xiaoran’s faces turned pale.
A few Skeleton Warriors might not be able to do much damage. However, this amount would crush them!
“Lin Xuan, can you handle all that?!”
Lin Xiaoran roared. At this moment, he felt that he was under a bit of pressure. Meanwhile, Li Zifei, who was beside him, had already started shooting.
One by one, the skeletons fell. The health bar on the top of the Skeleton Warrior’s head immediately emptied out and they turned into a pile of bones. However, according to the number of Skeleton Warriors gathered, the Ghost Spell on its body began to take effect. In less than two minutes… the bones that were scattered on the ground began to form again, and the new Skeleton Warriors rose up again.
This was the fundamental reason why the undead tide could be called the undead calamity. The more undead creatures gathered, the shorter the time for the undead to resurrect.
Li Zifei quickly drew her bow and arrow, and the sweat on her forehead dripped all the way down her forehead. Lin Xiaoran stood a little further away. While he was paying attention to Lin Xuan’s health, he also had to pay attention to Li Zifei’s condition, his Star Healing spell could not only restore health, but it also had a certain recovery effect on stamina.
The number of Skeleton Warriors was stuck at around 70. Li Zifei’s arrow could kill a skeleton warrior in one shot, but shooting 30 arrows in two minutes was her current limit. No matter how many she could kill in that time, the resurrect time was quicker.
“Kill the Skeleton Warrior at the back first.”
Lin Xuan turned his head and shouted at Li Zifei.
The fragile bone club in the Skeleton Warrior’s hand swung down, but it was blocked by Lin Xuan’s shield. The bone club broke in response. The Skeleton Warrior that swung the club instead received the passive effect of No Damage and instantly died.
The Skeleton Warriors attacked but it was to no avail.
However, it was different on Lin Xuan’s side. Regardless of whether he dealt damage or not, as long as he attacked it, they would easily resurrect again.
Lin Xiaoran and Li Zifei were surprised to discover that the number of Skeleton Warriors was decreasing. The time taken to resurrect was no longer as fast as the speed of shooting. Moreover, many Skeleton Warriors mysteriously died after attacking Lin Xuan… What was going on?
Lin Xuan waved his hand and casted a Star Healing spell on Lin Xuan while he wondered what was going on. Lin Xuan, who was trying his best to resist the skeleton army, felt a chill down his body. His strength had been increased again. His eyes lit up and he immediately waved his shield to attack more monsters. He no longer only defended, he pushed the Skeleton Warriors out and directly engaged in a porcelain-like defense.
No matter what the Skeleton Warriors used to attack him, they always ended up turning into a pile of bones. The undead tide formed by more than a hundred Skeleton Warriors was directly destroyed. A pile of broken bones fell to the ground, and above the broken bones… three light balls descended from the sky.
