Chapter 222 A Sudden Counterattack: Hunter Becomes Prey
As soon as the dragons landed, Jiang Chen planned to wipe them all out without any mercy.
Skeleton warriors emerged from all directions, tightly surrounding the two dragon warriors who had just broken through the shield.
Jiang Chen issued precise commands, and the skeleton warriors acted swiftly, following their assigned tasks.
The one wielding the sword swung it without hesitation, while the strong skeleton intercepted it at close range.
Jiang Chen's instructions were simple: no one was allowed to escape.
The skeleton warriors began unleashing various skills, targeting the dragon warriors and causing them immense pain instantly. The dragon warriors' protective shields were severed, they suffered massive damage, and screamed in agony.
At the same time, the skeleton mages launched a volley of attacks. The spells of 100 skeleton mages poured down like a torrential rain, directly piercing through the dragon knight's shield.
In an instant, a bright red light flashed, and the damage curse was replaced with a slowing curse.
Even if the damage curse effect is weak, it can at least slow down the opponent, buying more time for the skeleton warriors.
Skeleton warriors cannot fly, which is why they need to find ways to prevent the dragons from taking flight.
Jiang Chen knew that the best strategy against these flying enemies was to prevent them from gathering together, because the skeleton warriors' greatest weakness was their inability to fly.
"Oops!"
Skeletons appear, the shield shatters, and a curse descends.
These three events happened almost simultaneously, within a fraction of a second.
By the time the dragon knights discovered this, it was too late.
The skeletons charged.
They all jumped up.
It could be described as completely obscuring the sky and blocking out the sun.
They weren't given a chance to escape.
The dragon knights hadn't expected so many skeletons to appear.
When I saw Jiang Chen just now, there were only two skeletons next to him.
I should have known better than to fall behind.
"Charge out with me!"
It must break through; otherwise, it will die.
Skill: Powerful Impact!
It roared and activated its skill!
A flash of fire appeared in Jiang Chen's palm. Its roar instantly turned into a scream, and the skill was abruptly interrupted!
He almost couldn't even hold the sword, and knelt on the ground, trembling.
Skill: Soul Burn!
The basic power of Soul Burning is based on Jiang Chen's mental strength.
After reaching level 30, I switched to the full Hell Outpost set, which greatly increased my mental strength.
In addition, the level 30 Soul Burn skill itself has increased in power.
Finally, we also need to factor in the fact that the talent boost has increased from 30 times to 40 times.
In this way, the power of the soul-burning technique has reached an extremely astonishing level.
Now, it is used to perfectly interrupt the dragon knight's skill.
It extinguished their team's last hope.
Jiang Chen won't hold back when dealing with them. Unlike in the professional tournament, where he held back.
They also used the extremely painful skill of soul burning without hesitation.
To deal with the enemy, one must stop at nothing.
The skeleton warriors completely overwhelmed them.
The dragon mage cast a magic shield and attempted to ascend into the air to leave.
As a result, the magic shield was covered with skeleton warriors.
The skeleton mage's skills rained down, shattering the magic shield.
The skeleton warriors swiftly and decisively severed their wings.
When a dragon mage is killed!
The curse was transformed; the slowing curse instantly became a damaging curse.
Then a loud roar rang out.
The entire dragon squad was wiped out.
"Kill a level 48 Dragon Knight, experience +1920000, military merit +1000"
"Killed a level 48 Dragon Mage, experience +1920000, military merit +1000"
...
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised.
Unexpectedly, besides killing abyssal demons, killing dragon monsters also earns military merits.
Based on this, it can be seen that the dragon race is also one of the enemies of the human race.
But why don't the dragon monsters in the "Dragon Front Outpost" dungeon grant military merit?
Jiang Chen couldn't figure it out for a moment.
This time, he earned 6000 military merits, and another star was added to his sergeant's badge.
With a total of 44000 military merits, Jiang Chen became a four-star second lieutenant.
A level 30 four-star lieutenant is unprecedented in the history of the human race.
Many level 30 professionals haven't even set foot in the Otherworld Battlefield.
Not to mention the even more dangerous ancient battlefield that awaits.
He recalled the skeleton warriors, still keeping only two by his side.
That's good; it creates an illusion.
The enemies will definitely rush over when they see that he is only level 30.
If so many skeleton warriors were released from the start, both abyssal demons and dragons would probably run away as soon as they saw them.
It's not that easy to pursue someone.
“If only I could fly.”
Jiang Chen sighed softly; the problem of the skeleton warriors being afraid of being controlled had now been resolved.
The remaining issue is the flight itself.
The enemy can fly, but he can't, which is troublesome. Except for some special professions, human professionals can only master the ability to fly after completing their third job advancement at level 70.
Jiang Chen didn't know if the Skeleton Warrior could fly after reaching level 70.
Recalling the scene he witnessed in the "Battlefield No. 3" instance, the human mage issued a command to silence the air.
The enemy was immediately rendered unable to fly.
This is particularly advantageous for low-level professionals among humans.
Every advantage has its disadvantages, and Jiang Chen knew he couldn't expect too much, since his profession was already powerful enough.
The spatial passage in the air had disappeared. Jiang Chen had the skeleton collect all the equipment from the dragon and throw it all into the storage space.
Their equipment is quite good, all platinum-level, but it's unclear whether it's suitable for humans.
Even using it as raw material would be good for a blacksmith. In the world of dragons, a roar disperses the smoke and clouds.
"who is it!"
"Who killed my team?!"
"Don't let me know, or I'll tear you apart alive."
Inside the enormous dragon castle, roars shook the heavens and the earth.
The enormous castle trembled and shook incessantly.
The castle lord's newly dispatched troops to the ancient battlefield were wiped out in less than two minutes.
It cost a fortune to open the passage to the ancient battlefield.
Now it's all wasted.
Unfortunately, no one answered its question.
All it could do was roar in anger.
Jiang Chen was recalling what the dragon knight had said earlier.
He has the aura of a dragon.
Judging from the meaning of his words, he must have killed dragons, or monsters similar to dragons.
The only possibility is the "Frontline Outpost" instance.
He has indeed killed quite a few dragon-like monsters.
It's possible that it picked up that scent there.
However, that instance only contains monsters; there are no military merits.
"strangeness!"
Jiang Chen didn't think about it any further.
If his aura is so strong, then dragons might come knocking on his door.
Those teams of 40 or 50, no matter how many come, we can wipe them out.
They have experience, military merits, and can even loot equipment.
Its cost-effectiveness surpasses that of the Abyss Demon.
He stepped into a rolling hill.
The hills are not high, each only twenty or thirty meters high, and they stretch out as far as the eye can see.
A relatively narrow passage, less than ten meters wide, has been formed between the hills.
In the ancient battlefield, there are countless hills, too many to count along the way.
When Jiang Chen first saw this area, he didn't think anything was wrong.
But as he stepped in, he sensed something was wrong.
It's so quiet here.
It was eerily quiet.
There is always a whisper, like a call from the soul, on the ancient battlefield.
He has existed since he stepped into the ancient battlefield, and has never disappeared.
Now, that voice is gone.
When a sound that has always been there suddenly disappears, it feels strange and extremely unsettling.
In the sudden silence, Jiang Chen stared ahead, his palms burning with a soul-scorching heat.
There was no crackling sound of a soul being burned; there were no fragments of souls here.
The fact that there are no fragments of souls on this ancient battlefield is extremely unusual.
Suddenly, the earth shook violently.
A dozen or so dark figures appeared in his line of sight, running toward him.
"Abyssal Demon!"
Jiang Chen was slightly startled, recognizing at a glance that the creature running towards him was an Abyss Demon.
Why don't they fly?
Abyssal demons have wings, but they do not fly.
Instead, they were running wildly on the ground, which was strange. Then he saw that it wasn't just the abyss demons.
Along with the abyss demon, a group of dragon warriors were also running wildly.
Abyss demons and dragon warriors are mortal enemies, the kind who will fight to the death if they meet.
How could they possibly run side by side?
Is it really that friendly?
Moreover, dragon race professionals do not fly.
There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
His pupils contracted slightly as he looked closely and finally saw a large, dark mass chasing after them, both above and behind them.
Both the abyss demons and the dragon warriors had panic in their eyes.
The objects chasing them were clearly terrifying.
The object was pitch black, seemingly absorbing the light from the ancient battlefield; nothing could be seen except for the darkness.
"Delicious humans!"
"Humans who have killed my race!"
The abyss demon and the dragon race professional simultaneously discovered Jiang Chen.
The abyssal demons revealed excited, bloodthirsty eyes; it was their instinct.
For them, human flesh is the ultimate delicacy.
The dragon race professionals revealed a look of hatred; Jiang Chen possessed the aura of a dragon, and it was quite fresh.
This indicates that Jiang Chen had recently killed a dragon race professional.
They all wanted to kill Jiang Chen.
But now, they are fleeing for their lives.
Boom boom!
The hills on both sides exploded, and a large number of black objects rushed out, joining the pursuit. The team of nine powerful demons and six dragon warriors was being chased so relentlessly by these black objects.
What the hell is this!
Jiang Chen released a detection spell.
"Soul-Eating Insects"
"Level: 40"
Strength: 5000
Agility: 20000
"Spirit: 5000"
Constitution: 5000
Skill: Devour Soul
"Characteristics: Ignores defense, ignores physical immunity, and can bite anything."
Jiang Chen was startled.
The attributes don't look very strong; strength, spirit, and constitution are all only 5000.
Their superior agility gives them a considerable speed.
Their skill is to devour souls; no wonder there are no soul fragments in this area—they've eaten them all.
That alone is not enough to make the abyss demons and dragon warriors so disheveled.
The key lies in the characteristics of the Soul-Eating Insect.
Ignoring defenses and physical immunity, it bites everything.
That's pretty scary.
If there are only a few dozen or a hundred mathematical problems, it's not a problem.
But look at them now, densely packed together, numbering at least several thousand or even tens of thousands.
No wonder the abyss demons and dragon warriors fled in droves.
Boom boom!
Another hill exploded, unleashing a massive horde of Soul-Eating Insects that blocked the path of the Abyss Demons and Dragon Clan warriors.
The abyss demon exuded a powerful aura and charged forward, unleashing terrifying flames.
In an instant, a passage was burned open.
The dragon knights unleashed their charge attack.
The dragon mages behind them also unleashed a barrage of spells, forcing back the surrounding Soul-Eating Insects and carving a bloody path through them.
They saw the end of the hill behind Jiang Chen.
They can be saved if they escape this area.
but…
Jiang Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Non-my family, its heart must be different!
He had no intention of letting them leave.
My soul is burning fiercely! Since you all wanted me to die just now.
Then...
Now, you should all just die!
