Chapter 13: Instant Kill! Currently The Strongest Group Attack Skills

Lin Moyu was slightly taken aback, unexpectedly. The dungeon leader would still attempt to escape.

The Mine Wolf King fled into the tunnel, roaring all the way. It seemed to be responding to its cries, as wolf howls echoed from the passage. Something didn't seem right!

Lin Moyu felt something was amiss, and instead of letting the skeleton warriors give chase, he ordered them to retreat to his side.

Crunch! Crunch!

The iron doors lining both sides of the passage opened amid the roars, and bloodthirsty wolves emerged from behind them.

[Mine Wolf]

[Level: 14]

[Power: 600]

[Agility: 600]

[Spirit: 200]

[Physique: 1000]

[Skill: Bite]

Under his detection skill, Lin Moyu could see the information on these ferocious wolves at a glance. Their attributes weren't very strong, even weaker than the Goblin Mine Guards from the tunnels. But there were far too many - at least hundreds charging forward together, exuding an aura that made one's scalp tingle.

Lin Moyu wasn't afraid. Although numerous, the mine wolves' weak attributes meant his skeleton warriors could handle them. But he wondered how other teams dealt with so many ferocious wolves - he didn't believe a five-person team could compete against this horde.

Looking around at the mine passage behind him, he immediately understood. The passage exit was narrow, allowing only one person through at a time. As long as a knight held that choke point, support classes could provide healing while the mage used area-of-effect skills. It would just take some time to wipe out the wolves.

Lin Moyu realized other teams likely employed this tactic. But what he didn't know was that they normally only encountered a dozen or so mine wolves - the sheer numbers he faced was due to clearing all the monsters from the tunnels beforehand.

As a first-timer in this dungeon, Lin Moyu was unaware of its mechanics, knowledge the books lacked. But even if he had known, he would have still exterminated every monster - how could he pass up that much experience?

As for the difficulty? Was it truly difficult for him? From entering the dungeon until now, he had only given a few mental orders, not even breaking a sweat. With so many wolves, in his eyes it just represented a massive experience gain.

The skeleton warriors circled protectively around Lin Moyu as the ferocious wolves rushed in, colliding with them one after another. The wolves were indeed fierce, constantly biting and slashing with claw-knives, but their attacks lacked the power to seriously injure the skeletons.

Once all the wolves had arrived, on Lin Moyu's mental command, five skeletons focused their attacks on a single wolf, flesh flying as they stabbed in unison. The mine wolf screamed and dropped in just two seconds.

[Killing level 14 mine wolf, experience +2800]

[Obtained wolf skin*3]

Lin Moyu's mouth curved into a graceful smile as brilliance lit his palm. Corpse Burst!

With a loud bang, the wolf's body exploded, the damage equal to 10% of its HP hitting enemies within 1 meter. But then doubled 20 times by his talent - all foes within 20 meters suffered 200% of the corpse's original HP as damage.

No wolf could withstand it. Spikes of experience flooded in.

[Obtained wolf fur*2]

[Killing level 14 mine wolf, experience +2800]

[Obtained bones*3]

In an instant, prompts rapidly appeared, experience rocketing from 32% to 72% - one attack netting 40%. Lin Moyu was secretly speechless at how terrifyingly overpowered Corpse Burst was, likely surpassing even forbidden mage spells, at least at this level.

Then the crippled Mine Wolf King returned, eyes filled with horror at its subordinates' instant deaths and the mysterious explosion. Under its feet were several wolf corpses.

"You'll share their fate," Lin Moyu's cold eyes shimmered as he detonated the corpses.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amidst the consecutive blasts, the Wolf King's screams filled the air as flesh and blood disintegrated, bones shattering in places from the sheer force.

Woo~

With a final cry, the huge body shuddered and collapsed.

[Killing level 15 Mine Wolf King, experience +15000]

[Obtained Wolf King's Sharp Teeth]

[Obtained Low-Level Monster Crystal Core]

"Only 15,000 experience, very poor cost-efficiency," Lin Moyu muttered. For the Wolf King's strength, the meager experience equated to just five mine wolves - a pitiful ratio. But for boss monsters, the pursuit was items not experience. The Sharp Teeth crafted good weapons, the Monster Core made attribute-boosting jewelry - both valuable trade goods.

Walking down the foul-stenched passage, Lin Moyu couldn't help covering his nose. All gates lay open, the wolves culled, leaving an enormous mine pit over a kilometer wide at the end, darkness obscuring its depths. A spiral path descended, goblin warriors patrolling in pairs.

[Elite Goblin Warrior (Enhanced Elite Monster)]

[Level: 15]

[Power: 900]

[Agility: 800]

[Spirit: 400]

[Physique: 900]

Their attributes paled compared to the boss, none breaking 1000 - nothing Lin Moyu took seriously. With a wave, his skeleton army rushed in, culling the enhanced elites with ease.

[Killing level 15 elite goblin warrior, experience +4500]

[Obtained animal bones*6]

Prompts continually popped up as Lin Moyu ordered his forces to fight freely, quickly clearing the mine of monsters. Though individually strong, the elites offered rich experience and materials - far higher quality than outside world mobs.

"In the future, solo-clearing hell dungeons should yield even more experience."

If anyone knew Lin Moyu entertained such thoughts, they'd probably spit on him. Throughout history, no one had solo-cleared a hell dungeon - some greats had soloed nightmares, enshrined in the annals, but hell difficulty was considered a joke when alone. People had tried and never returned.

Lin Moyu reached the mine pit's bottom, the path cleared, experience at 99% - one step from level 12 after just over an hour, efficiency far exceeding expectations. At this rate, level 16, even 18 or 19 wouldn't be difficult. As long as his level qualified, entering Xia Academy was certain.

"Sister, we'll meet soon," Lin Moyu rarely smiled, thinking of Lin Mohan.

The mine dungeon's final boss sat in the center, its massive maw constantly inhaling, the thunderous breaths whipping up hurricanes that nearly blew Lin Moyu off his feet. Unaware of the outside, it slumbered akin to the underworld until Lin Moyu's detection brushed past.

[Goblin King (Leader Monster)]

[Level: 16]

[Power: 3000]

[Agility: 1500]

[Spirit: 1500]

[Physique: 3000]

[Skills: Flame Jet, Sweep, Knockback]

Compared to the Wolf King, its attributes weren't much higher, strength and physique only slightly superior. Lin Moyu even thought his skeletons could take it in a straight fight.

The detection roused it, and it slowly opened its eyes on Lin Moyu before roaring, leaping up to slash a giant sword towards his head. The terrifying blade descended, wind pressure raging - yet Lin Moyu didn't dodge, his eyes extremely calm, even sarcastic.

The seemingly unstoppable sword halted just 10cm from his head, as if an invisible force blocked its advance. Damage Transfer - all attacks on Lin Moyu would be borne by his summons instead.

Lin Moyu suddenly frowned, sensing his skeletons taking damage. Their soul fires jumped erratically, the lights dimming as fine cracks spread across their bones.

"How...?"

Rarely surprised, even when the giant blade fell towards him, Lin Moyu had remained utterly composed, not even blinking. Even slaughtering three last night left him equally unfazed - in his eyes, killing monsters differed not from people.

It wasn't that he was cold-blooded. It was his sister Lin Mohan who had once told him to remain calm no matter what happened. In times of danger, only calmness could ensure survival.

He retreated quickly, and the skeleton warriors rushed to protect the Goblin King while also attacking him at the same time.

"Furious Blow!"

The skeleton warriors unleashed their skills one after another, raining down powerful attacks on the Goblin King, inflicting massive damage. Within moments, the Goblin King was torn apart.

Naturally, the Goblin King shifted his target after being attacked and began assaulting the skeleton warriors.

Lin Moyu stepped back and contemplated what had just transpired. The damage transfer effect was supposed to redistribute the damage he received equally among his summons. He suddenly understood.

The reason the skeleton warriors were simultaneously injured during the previous attack, sustaining no small amount of damage, was mainly because his own attributes were too weak. With only 120 constitution points, his defenses were feeble. Facing the Goblin King with 3000 strength, the damage he should have suffered was immense.

The transferred damage was based on his own stats, ignoring the skeleton warriors' formidable defenses. These injuries were then redistributed to the skeleton warriors, resulting in their wounds.

If that knife had struck a skeleton warrior directly, it is estimated their injury would have been much, much lighter.

"It turned out I was the only weakness," he realized.

"It seems I will need to build up my physique in the future."

"The stronger my defenses, the stronger my summoned army will be."
