Necromancers originally had low agility, and those few war general class ones were completely helpless against Jiang Kai. Under Jiang Kai's repeated fierce attacks, the huge bodies fell one after another.
The remaining commander-class one was somewhat troublesome. Even if its stats were low, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse—it was considerably strong.
The key point was that it had long HP and high defense. Zhuiming couldn't pierce its defense at all.
"Wrath of the Lord God!" Jiang Kai threw out the King Yama Token, the token shot like a nail and struck the necromancer's forehead, spinning crazily!
Just as the token was about to pierce through the necromancer's skull, that guy grabbed the King Yama Token.
"Return!" Jiang Kai immediately controlled the token and recalled it, simultaneously charging rapidly at the necromancer.
The necromancer raised its staff and smashed it down hard.
Jiang Kai couldn't dodge in time and was directly hit.
However, a moment later, Jiang Kai reappeared beside the necromancer and once again threw the King Yama Token, "Substitute, return! Wrath of the Lord God!"
Chang Siyao widened her eyes—again, it was a deceitful substitute.
Fighting Jiang Kai was truly terrifying. Just this deceitful substitute made it impossible to guard against!
This time Jiang Kai attacked the exact same spot. With the first attack having had an effect, the second strike of the King Yama Token directly pierced through the necromancer's skull!
However, the necromancer still didn't fall.
"Time not yet come!" Jiang Kai didn't retrieve the token at all. As he activated the skill, the King Yama Token launched a frenzied assault on the necromancer!
Jiang Kai quickly circled to the necromancer's front and threw the quenched Zhuiming, directly embedding it into the gap in its forehead.
"Time not yet come" wouldn't kill the necromancer instantly, but it could deepen the damage effect.
Ten forged fire-enhanced Zhuimings ignited the necromancer's skull, yet that guy's whole head was flaming and it still swung its staff at Jiang Kai.
"Damn, so fierce!" Jiang Kai couldn't help but suck in a breath. As expected of a commander-level enemy, its HP was just too long!
Fortunately, this guy's weak point was agility. Jiang Kai could rely on his own high agility, paired with "deceiving the heavens," to barely avoid its attacks. Otherwise, even if he'd already taken down the necromancer's undead minions, there was no way he could easily kill this necromancer.
After a fierce battle lasting half an hour, under Jiang Kai's fierce assault, the necromancer's huge body was finally devoured by flames.
Looking at the fire blazing across the sky, Jiang Kai let out a long breath. "Really wasn't easy."
Chang Siyao came over, shocked as she looked at the necromancer miserably struggling in the flames, then turned her head and stared dead at Jiang Kai.
"You soloed a commander?"
"You… you're way too, too abnormal! Even regular transcendent war gods can't outlast a commander! Without enough attack power, it's absolutely impossible to solo a commander-level enemy!"
Jiang Kai shook his head, "I can't kill every one of them. I just happened to counter this one. If it were another monster, I probably couldn't solo it. Wait here for me—I'm going to look for a treasure chest." With that, Jiang Kai jumped into the underground tomb where the necromancer had come from.
Not long after, Jiang Kai jumped back up from underground.
"Found it, got it."
Chang Siyao dazedly followed behind Jiang Kai.
So this was the power needed to pass the third level of Endless Abyss? Soloing a commander-level enemy!
At night, Jiang Kai and Chang Siyao lay on the tree branches to rest. According to Chang Siyao's experience, they couldn't light fires at night, so resting in trees was the safest.
At the moment, Jiang Kai's level had already reached Tier 3 Level 13, not far from max level.
Unfortunately, across twelve level-ups, Jiang Kai hadn't triggered "Super Double." A one-in-three chance was still too low.
In Tier 3 phase, under normal circumstances, each level-up granted 30 total attribute points. With the double effect, Jiang Kai could get 60 points.
But after being spread across the four basic attributes, it didn't seem that impressive anymore.
The key was still to break into Tier 4. Each tier breakthrough brought a large improvement. Plus, with the double effect, Jiang Kai's strength would rise drastically.
Thinking about it, Jiang Kai shook his head, "Even a mosquito is still meat. If I do trigger a Super Double, I could gain 300 attribute points. Add on some buff effects, and it could reach over 400—that's not bad."
"Necromancers are pretty good for grinding XP. I'll focus on leveling up these next few days—should be enough time."
...
Seven days later, at the necromancer's territory, two burly figures looked at the large area of scorched land ahead and frowned.
Of these two, one was around forty years old, with short hair, a square face, strong build, broad shoulders and thick back, wearing a suit of black metal outer armor.
The other man was in his thirties, body more proportioned, with a thin face, eyes covered by a black silk blindfold, and clad in dark red leather armor.
The black-armored man slightly frowned, bent down and picked up a bit of soil, rubbing it between his fingers.
After examining it, he tossed away the scorched dirt, stood up, and said lightly, "It should be that kid."
"Click click click, look at this large scorched area… Evilfire, this kid's flame intensity isn't much worse than yours, huh?"
The red-armored man snorted coldly, "Tyrant, are you joking with me? When it comes to fire, I'm his ancestor!"
"But you—are you sure you can match his critical strike? Reportedly, no one can survive his critical hit!"
Tyrant's lips curled slightly. "Then tell me—can anyone survive my critical strike?"
Evilfire didn't say anything more. Clearly, his reaction already answered the question.
Tyrant looked at his wristwatch and opened the regional map. On his map, several already-revealed areas were displayed, the farthest one extending beyond 80 kilometers.
Looks like Tyrant had also come to the Known Zone before and stayed a while.
Currently, the map showed a maximum of 80 kilometers, but that didn't mean 80 kilometers was his record. After all, considering his age, he may have entered the Known Zone much earlier.
If he'd entered back when maps like Zhu Lu Ridge and Taiping Mountain Path hadn't yet opened, then his exploration range at that time definitely exceeded 80 kilometers.
"According to Huang Jianguo, a woman left Huaxia City with Jiang Kai and traveled with him. That woman is a three-star Wanderer. Seems like she gave Jiang Kai directions, and they chose the safest path."
"Judging by the scorched land along the way, they've already left the necromancer's territory and headed deep into the southeast… Eight or nine out of ten, they're going to attend the Wanderer Gathering at the 40-kilometer mark."
"There are too many forks in the road—we'll lie in wait ahead."
Evilfire said coldly, "Huang Jianguo said—no witnesses. Act after the gathering."
"Also, don't let anyone discover our identities. You and I need to disguise ourselves to avoid being recognized."
"If that woman is still with him, she needs to be killed too."
"Killing—no need to worry. I alone can handle it." Tyrant snorted coldly. "To be honest, I really can't stand you wearing that blindfold. Can't you take it off and talk to me?"
"Take it off? I'm afraid if I take it off, you'll be the one going into the urn."
"What a joke. After we kill Jiang Kai, I'll have to test your skills myself." Tyrant didn't back down.
"Same to you."
The two talked as they moved southeast.
