Killing the Corrupted Poison Wizard only gave him 626 experience points?
This is too little!
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he had seen it wrong. He
took a closer look, and it was an ordinary monster. Oh, that's fine.
He had killed too many elite monsters in the Hell-level dungeon, and it was a bit uncomfortable to switch to ordinary monsters.
As the level increased, the experience required for upgrading also increased.
It takes 14,500 experience points to upgrade from level 10 to level 11. Taking into account the overflow of experience when killing the Fallen Witch, as well as the experience gained from the clearance rewards and the first pass rewards, he now needs 7,266 experience points to upgrade.
In other words, he still needs to kill twelve more Corrupted Poison Wizards to upgrade.
It seems acceptable for the time being, but what about after the level is increased?
Is it possible to kill hundreds or thousands of aliens in the wilderness to upgrade to the next level?
After going through the Hell-level dungeon, ordinary aliens are not even in his eyes.
"Most of the aliens in the wilderness are ordinary, and the cost-effectiveness of killing them is too low. It seems we need to get to the Zhenyuan Army base as soon as possible."
The Zhenyuan Army, stationed in the wilderness, constantly engages in war with aliens and guards the Abyss. They are the most elite military force of the Shenxia Empire.
At the Zhenyuan Army base, wilderness missions can be received and issued. For those with strong professional skills, special admission to the Zhenyuan Army is possible, allowing them to enjoy special military subsidies.
Gu Chen wasn't seeking the missions or the military subsidies, but rather the convenience of accessing the Zhenyuan Army base, which would allow him to query information about several nearby abysses.
He was currently level 10, and if he accidentally entered a level 30 abyss, he would be doomed.
He glanced at the map and continued his journey deeper into the wilderness.
Not long after, a faint sound of breaking air suddenly emanated from the black fog behind him.
Gu Chen hadn't noticed it at all; it was the Blood Clan Overlord who noticed it first.
Someone was heading their way, accelerating closer.
"Could it be the Li family chasing us?" Gu Chen raised a brow.
Almost as soon as this thought arose, a shadow appeared at the edge of the nearby black fog. Immediately after, several more shadows appeared behind it.
Gu Chen considered running, but when he saw a dimly lit lantern in the mist, he gave up his escape instantly.
A guide lantern, a rare item, could lock onto a target through energy fluctuations and initiate pursuit.
It truly was someone from the Li family.
With this item, he wouldn't be able to escape anytime soon.
"Gu Chen, how dare you kill the young master of the Li family? Kneel down immediately, or I will see you die without a burial place!"
Wang Chongshan's voice echoed from the black fog.
Then,
whoosh!
A hidden weapon emitting a black glow pierced the mist, hurtling towards Gu Chen.
Gu Chen snorted coldly, a cold glint in his eyes. Suddenly, a gigantic figure appeared out of nowhere.
A corpse golem!
Its massive body, imbued with majesty, stood guard over Gu Chen like a giant.
Its body was constructed from ancient stone blocks, their joints ablaze with a cold, blue flame.
Its limbs were thick and angular, and the stone surfaces were engraved with mysterious runes and sigils, giving it an air of mystery and indestructibility.
Facing the incoming hidden weapon, the Undead Golem remained unmoved.
Bang!
The hidden weapon impacted its body, slashing its health by 30%.
It hurt, but it was bearable.
After all, it was a hidden weapon launched by a level 29 assassin, while the Undead Golem was only level 10.
While the Undead Golem was stationary, its defense and recovery increased. It was a remarkable feat to survive this attack.
Next, the Undead Golem's health began to recover at a visible rate, a speed comparable to that of a vampire lord.
A blinding blue flame erupted from its body, and it roared angrily at the shadowy figures before it.
The next second, three layers of black light burst forth from its body.
[Exhaustion: Inflicts exhaustion on nearby targets, reducing all stats by 50% and increasing damage taken by 50%. Non-immune.]
[Black Plague: Infects a target with a plague, reducing healing effectiveness by 90% and causing continuous health loss. Non-immune.]
[Forbidden Zone of the Ending Law: The Undead Golem establishes a forbidden zone centered on itself, increasing the damage taken by all targets within it by 10x.]
Facing a group of peak-level Tier 2 enemies, Gu Chen immediately commanded the Undead Golem to fully activate its abilities.
As the debuffs fell on Wang Chongshan and the others, their advance slowed dramatically.
Then, exclamations echoed through the black fog.
"Oh no! What kind of skill is this? It's slashing all my stats in half!"
"Ahem, I'm sick! My health is dropping so fast!"
"Don't panic! Look at my purification!"
"Damn! These negative effects are immune to purification!"
"Heal me! My health is plummeting."
"I'm already healing you, can't you feel it?"
"Damn it!"
Wang Chongshan and several Li family bodyguards arrived aggressively, but they were instantly shattered by the appearance of the Undead Golem.
"Kill!"
Gu Chen, standing behind the Undead Golem, whispered a single word.
The next second, the Blood Lord and the Nightmare Lord rushed out.
Two figures, one red and one black, instantly approached them.
Behind Wang Chongshan, a mage's face changed drastically. He quickly activated his spellbook, immediately casting an Ice Crystal Shield.
Ice Crystal Shield is the most commonly used defensive skill for ice mages.
As the level increases, the Ice Crystal Shield becomes stronger and more powerful.
It's said that the Ice Crystal Shield cast by a god-level Ice Mage possesses the defensive power of a piece of Dark Gold armor!
Almost as soon as the Ice Crystal Shield formed, gunfire rang out, and a barrage of bullets pierced the shield.
Crackling!
The Ice Crystal Shield, so proud of the Ice Mage, couldn't withstand even a second of attack before shattering into a shower of icy shards.
Without hesitation, the Blood Lord launched his attack, unleashing a barrage of bullets directly into the Mage's body.
Bang!
The bullets instantly pierced the heart, sending the Mage reeling.
With a thud,
the Level 25 Ice Mage collapsed to the ground, his eyes wide open!
To his death, he refused to believe he'd been instantly slain by a summoned creature.
Behind him, a heavy swordsman watched the mage die before his eyes, not even bothering to reclaim the black greatsword that had just ripped loose from his grasp. He turned and ran.
However, he had barely taken two steps when a series of dark shadows swirled around him, pinning him to the spot.
Then, the Nightmare Overlord unleashed his ability, instantly killing him.
A level 20 heavy swordsman, dead!
The tragic deaths of the mage and heavy swordsman had Wang Chongshan terrified.
He dared not flee, fearing the combined force of the two summoned beasts would kill him the moment he turned.
"Gu Chen, please spare my life! I didn't mean to harm you. They forced me to do this!"
He looked in Gu Chen's direction, knelt down, and kowtowed, weeping bitterly.
"Please spare me!"
"If you spare my life, all my equipment is yours!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Nightmare Overlord appeared behind him and instantly killed him.
Gu Chen's eyes were filled with indifference.
"If I kill you, all your equipment will be mine."
