Chapter 91: If Above Doesn't Work, Then Below

Desert Ant Queen Egg.

Lin Moyu looked at the transparent egg-shaped object in his palm.

This thing could be given to a beast tamer to hatch a Desert Ant Queen.

With an ant queen, thousands and millions of ants could be cultivated.

As long as the beast tamer controlled the queen, they controlled the entire swarm.

Though the Desert Ant Queen wasn't high level, beast tamers could raise its level.

Lin Moyu felt this item should be quite valuable.

He could ask about it after returning.

As for the two silver weapons, they were dispensable to Lin Moyu.

They could just be exchanged for some money.

A minute after the ant queen was killed, its corpse disappeared.

Revealing a passage.

The skeleton warriors ran into the passage first.

Since entering the ant nest, they had been advancing underground.

But this passage led upwards.

There were no monsters in the passage. It went straight up until sunlight was visible again.

The coolness of the underground disappeared, replaced by scorching heat.

It was still endless yellow sand as far as the eye could see.

It was even hotter here, like being roasted.

Behind the exit was a steep cliff face.

A mountain divided the dungeon in two.

To reach this place, one had to pass through the ant nest.

11 hours had passed since entering the dungeon.

This dungeon was too large, too much time wasted on finding the way.

The skeleton warriors quickly advanced, needing to make up for lost time.

The longer it took, the lower the chance of obtaining the Tyrant's Heart.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot down, landing on Lin Moyu.

The Bone Armor flashed with dazzling white light, blocking the attack.

The attack was strong, rapidly dissipating the Bone Armor.

Lin Moyu was startled and quickly retreated.

The light beam hit the desert sand, kicking up a cloud of dust.

More light beams shot over.

The skeleton warriors quickly formed a shield wall, protecting Lin Moyu.

Looking in the direction of the light beams, he saw the attacker.

It was a monster Lin Moyu had never seen before.

The monster floated about 10 meters above the ground.

It was shaped like a giant ball, about 2 meters in diameter.

An eye grew on the ball.

The eye took up 80% of the monster's body.

It was still about 100 meters away.

Attacking from such a long range, and ignoring all the skeletons to target Lin Moyu directly.

This monster was interesting.

With their master under attack, the skeleton warriors immediately charged over.

After two ineffective attacks, the monster turned to flee.

The skeleton mages had already launched their attacks.

Giving it no chance to escape, the skeleton mages' attacks blanketed the area.

Lin Moyu's Detection accompanied the attacks.

[Eye Monster (Super Enhanced Elite Monster)]

[Level: 28]

[Strength: 500]

[Agility: 2000]

[Spirit: 6500]

[Constitution: 3000]

[Skill: Destruction Beam]

"So it's a mage-type monster."

Seeing such high spirit, Lin Moyu knew this monster was mage-class.

Mage-type monsters weren't uncommon, but this was the first time seeing one so pure.

Its strength was even lower than normal monsters of the same level.

It seemed to have put all its points into spirit.

The Destruction Beam was indeed powerful.

Just one hit nearly shattered the Bone Armor.

The key was its long attack range, able to attack from over 100 meters away, and it could fly.

And when it found its attacks ineffective, it tried to flee.

Thinking about it, it would indeed be troublesome to deal with.

Unfortunately, Lin Moyu had too many skeleton mages with terrifyingly strong attacks.

Under a round of concentrated fire, the Eye Monster was instantly killed.

[Killed Eye Monster]

[Obtained Junior Eye Crystal]

[Junior Eye Crystal: Magic item, can be used by alchemists to create items or by formation masters to set up formations.]

Lin Moyu glanced at the Eye Crystal before putting it away.

It seemed quite useful, but the level was too low.

Anything labeled "junior" was basically for use below level 40.

Once over level 40, it entered the intermediate category.

Over level 70 was advanced category.

Generally, except for some special items, things labeled "junior" weren't very valuable.

With this experience, Lin Moyu started paying attention to the sky.

The skeleton warriors also watched the sky as they advanced.

Soon, a huge building appeared in view.

It looked like a castle.

Outside the castle were rows of small houses arranged in formation.

A military camp, with countless beastmen visible moving about inside.

The camp even had a parade ground, with troops drilling in formation.

Lin Moyu began to understand the meaning of "Tyrant".

It meant king.

The monsters in the camp had lion-like heads covered in fur.

Wearing armor, each over 3 meters tall.

Moving in orderly fashion, looking imposing.

Unlike scattered monsters that could be picked off one by one.

Here, one careless move could mean facing over ten monsters at once.

And these weren't ordinary monsters, each was a super enhanced elite monster.

Stronger than monsters in Nightmare difficulty dungeons of the same level.

Even a 40-person team would have difficulty.

It required good coordination, top equipment, comprehensive skills - nothing could be lacking.

Unless...

Unless like Lin Moyu, one could overwhelm them with absolute power.

The skeleton warriors had already begun their charge.

The skeleton mages followed closely behind.

Eye Monsters floated above the camp, immediately spotting the skeleton warriors.

They immediately sounded the alarm. The camp gates opened and an army of over a hundred rushed out.

This was Lin Moyu's style of fighting.

He was also thinking about how other career holders would handle this.

They would probably use ranged careers to lure the Eye Monsters over and eliminate them first.

Then slowly clear through, gradually eating away at the monsters in the camp.

Otherwise, directly facing the beastman army like he was doing would mean certain death.

Lin Moyu followed the skeleton mages, using Detection.

[Desert Lion Warrior (Super Enhanced Elite Monster)]

[Level: 28] 

[Strength: 6500]

[Agility: 5000]

[Spirit: 2000]

[Constitution: 5000]

[Skill: None]

Compared to the flying ants, the lion warriors had higher strength and much higher agility.

High strength and agility greatly increased their combat power.

Constitution was relatively weaker than the ant tribe, only 5000.

They didn't have natural armor like the ants.

But seeing the armor they wore, Lin Moyu felt the 5000 constitution might be understated.

Before the skeleton warriors clashed with the lion warriors, the skeleton mages' skill attacks had already descended.

Skill: Explosive Flame!

Skill: Ice Storm!

Skill: Tornado Storm! 

Skill: Five Thunderbolts!

Fire, ice, wind, lightning - four elements, four completely different skills bloomed among the lion warriors.

Both single-target and area attacks.

The skeleton mages' spirit was too high, their skill attack power terrifyingly strong, even surpassing the skeleton warriors.

Under one round of concentrated fire, several lion warriors immediately fell.

Lin Moyu followed behind, raising his palm.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

With a huge boom, the nearby area was cleared.

[Killed Level 28 Desert Lion Warrior, Experience +390000]

[Obtained Lion Hide x5]

Not a single lion warrior within 60 meters survived.

Experience skyrocketed like a rocket.

More lion warriors kept coming out of the camp, but none could stop Lin Moyu's advance.

No matter how many came, they were just fodder.

Suddenly a corpse was thrown into the air.

Then detonated.

The constantly floating Eye Monster was killed on the spot, crashing down.

Lin Moyu was getting more and more skilled with the Corpse Explosion technique.

He felt that after using it a few more times, the skill might level up again.

The skeleton warriors charged into the camp, not taking the lion warriors inside seriously at all.

Total domination, complete overwhelming force.

In the blink of an eye, the monsters in the camp were cleared out.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Arrows rained down from the sky.

Large numbers of archers appeared on the castle.

[Desert Lion Archer (Super Enhanced Elite Monster)]

[Level: 29]

[Strength: 5000]

[Agility: 6500]

[Spirit: 1500]

[Constitution: 4500]

[Skill: Perfect Accuracy]

Arrows fell like dense raindrops. The skeleton warriors swung their blades to block.

The castle was 50 meters high. The skeleton warriors leapt up high, trying to climb the walls.

But the arrows had strong impact force. After several attempts, they were all knocked back midway.

The skeleton mages stood at the base of the castle, starting to exchange fire with the archers.

Various spells rained down, killing archers one after another.

But more archers immediately filled the gaps.

The dead archers fell on the castle walls, blocking Lin Moyu's line of sight. He couldn't lock onto them to use Corpse Explosion.

To break through the castle, the best way was to breach the main gate head-on.

Some skeleton warriors had already charged to the gate, hacking at it with their blades.

The gate was very sturdy, unable to be broken quickly.

The rain of arrows from the castle never stopped.

"If above doesn't work, then let's blast the gate!"

"Focus all attacks on the gate!"
