Chapter 272: The Heart of the Earth Again, a Bountiful Harvest
The monsters chased the skeleton madly, biting and devouring it as if they were possessed.
The dense tendrils and roots that stretched out from the magma lashed at the skeleton like whips.
The tentacles are numerous, attacking each skeleton dozens of times almost every second, an incredibly high frequency of attacks.
Fortunately, these attacks were not particularly powerful, and the Lich General was still able to maintain the situation despite his best efforts.
The skeleton warriors fought back fiercely, wielding their greatswords swiftly and killing the pursuing monster fish one by one.
"Killed a level 55 Earthfire Fish, experience +1100000"
Jiang Chen saw the message "Obtained Earth Fragment," and the monster's level was 55.
It's not particularly powerful; its strength is inferior to the monsters in the core area.
However, the skeleton warriors killed enemies too quickly. By the time Jiang Chen arrived, dozens of monsters had already been cleared, causing him to lose a lot of earth fragments.
Throw a detection spell at the BOSS.
Jiang Chen is very interested in plant-based bosses.
"Flower of the Earth (Elite Leader)"
"Level: 56"
Strength: 80000
Agility: 20000
"Spirit: 20000"
Constitution: 120000
"Skills: Whip, Pollen, Regeneration" "Trait: Fire Immunity, Elemental Damage Reduced by 50%, Physical Damage Reduced by 50%"
It turns out it wasn't a BOSS, but just a boss-level monster.
With a total attribute of 24, it is slightly weaker than a boss of the same level.
Without Jiang Chen saying anything more, Qiao Zhixin had already rushed towards the BOSS.
Use the skill: Mass Gathering!
Firework-like skills flew out, covering all the monsters and the flowers of the earth.
The Earth Flower instantly stopped attacking the skeleton warrior, and its tentacles simultaneously lashed out at Qiao Zhixin.
At the same time, the Earth Firefish also rushed towards Qiao Zhixin.
Qiao Zhixin cried out in surprise and quickly returned.
The tentacles moved with incredible speed, attacking Qiao Zhixin one after another.
Qiao Zhixin seemed unaware of the presence of the skull armor and returned to Jiang Chen's side without hesitation.
Jiang Chen found it somewhat amusing that a level 59 professional would act so cowardly in a dungeon; it was truly laughable.
A faint red light flickered, and all the monsters in front of them were enveloped in a curse of damage.
Then came the familiar sound of an explosion.
Harvest season.
As the corpse exploded, the Earth Firefish died almost instantly.
The Earth Flower was also badly damaged by the bombing.
Many petals were blasted off and fell into the lava.
The flowers of the earth were enraged, and the entire magma-covered land roared and pounded.
Countless tentacles burst forth from the ground.
Within a radius of a kilometer, almost the entire area became a world of tentacles. The tentacles swept in, blotting out the sky.
Every hundred tentacles intertwine to form thick vines, making them even more powerful when lashed out.
The skeleton warriors were all sent flying.
"I didn't expect them to combine like this, which greatly increases their attack power."
Jiang Chen sensed the damage the skeleton warrior had received, thus determining the opponent's attack power.
The combined entity is indeed much stronger than before, but it's still not enough.
The skeletons quickly retaliated, wielding their large swords to cut the vines back.
The skeleton mage unleashed a barrage of skills, all aimed at the Earth Flower.
Once the main body dies, these tentacles will naturally become inanimate objects.
As the Earth Flower erupted, hundreds more Earth Fire Fish leaped out from the magma and sulfurous water.
The appearance of so many monsters at the same time, along with the tentacles and vines flying everywhere, once again terrified Qiao Zhixin broke out in a cold sweat.
Although they were only nightmare-level monsters, there were just too many of them.
If only a team of six comes in, it's tantamount to sending them to their deaths.
It would take at least 18 people to win, or even more to ensure safety.
Based on past experience, a team of level 18 is the minimum requirement.
The "Subterranean" instance has no limit on the number of people allowed in, so it's entirely possible to organize more people to enter.
As for two people coming in, it would be impossible to take them down.
So when Jiang Chen and Qiao Zhixin came in, neither the Abyss Demons nor the Dragon Clan stopped them.
They felt that it was impossible for the two of them to complete the dungeon; they would only die inside.
Unfortunately, everything was beyond their comprehension. Qiao Zhixin glanced at the calm and composed Jiang Chen.
I felt much more at ease.
She knew that Jiang Chen was soloing the entire dungeon, and she was just a tool.
But that's fine too, since most of the time I'm just a tool.
Being a tool doesn't seem so bad.
Qiao Zhixin, on the contrary, felt a kind of enjoyment in being a tool.
"Your job has come."
Qiao Zhixin happily replied, "Okay!"
As she spoke, she ran over and started setting off fireworks.
There are too many monsters; one big firework isn't enough.
Qiao Zhixin made all the monsters sparkle, one flower after another.
After setting it off, Qiao Zhixin dashed back, running incredibly fast. Then she heard a deafening explosion.
Skill: Corpse Explosion!
Jiang Chen continued to detonate the corpses one after another.
The earth was blasted open, and lava and sulfurous water were blasted together, creating thick smoke.
The entire space was filled with a strong smell of sulfur, which had become highly toxic.
The skeletal armor automatically appeared, blocking all the poison gas.
The Earth Flower was severely damaged again in the explosion.
Countless vine tendrils were blasted apart and scattered on the ground.
It was glowing all over, with large amounts of magma gathering on its body.
The petals that were blown off are rapidly regenerating.
Skill: Rebirth!
Qiao Zhixin said, "Plant-type monsters have exceptionally strong vitality and are very difficult to kill. To deal with them, you have to kill them all at once." Jiang Chen understood what Qiao Zhixin meant.
Extremely strong vitality is a characteristic of all plant-based monsters.
Suddenly, the Earth Flower released a large amount of pollen, which fell into the air and then exploded with a bang.
The skeletal armor blocked all attacks, and amidst the explosions, the skeletons hurled the corpses of the Earth Firefish at the Earth Flower.
Jiang Chen detonated it again!
This time, the explosions continued incessantly.
There were several hundred corpses on the ground; that was enough.
The skeletons kept throwing things, and Jiang Chen kept unleashing his skills.
Jiang Chen wouldn't stop until the kill notification popped up.
The lava pool where the Earth Flower was located was completely destroyed, and lava was shooting everywhere.
The lava waterfall was blasted upwards. The entire sky was raining lava, turning into a sea of fire.
"Slaying the Earth Flower grants 2240000 experience points."
"Obtain 500 Earth Shards"
"Acquire 500 Earth Shards using the Collection skill".
Jiang Chen stopped detonating only after the kill notification appeared.
Plant-type monsters are indeed incredibly resilient.
He bombed it at least fifty times before finally killing it completely.
This plant-based monster can regenerate rapidly as long as a little bit of root remains.
The harvest was substantial. The Flower of Earth directly gave 500 Earth Fragments, and with the 500 from the Collection spell, it was equivalent to directly obtaining a Heart of Earth.
And those earth firefish that were killed in the explosion earlier.
The obtained Earth Fragments can be combined to form a Heart of Earth.
They acquired two Hearts of the Earth at once. Hearts of the Earth, such rare resources, are naturally always better to have as many as possible.
Jiang Chen now has three Earth Cores.
The instance is not finished yet.
With the Earth Flower destroyed, the Lava Fall also disappeared.
This land lost its vitality and became withered.
The flowing lava cooled and dimmed at a visible rate.
The sulfur water no longer boiled.
"Let's go."
The two jumped onto the cliff and continued on their way.
Above the cliff lies a brand new land.
There should have been waterways flowing with lava on the ground.
But now the magma has cooled, and the waterways have turned into hard ground.
The two walked for a while without encountering any monsters.
The skeleton warriors running ahead also encountered no monsters. The vast, black earth appeared somewhat eerie.
The earth element is even more pronounced here.
It feels like every inch of the land is exuding a rich earthy atmosphere.
The stranger the situation became, the more vigilant Jiang Chen became.
This area is huge, even larger than the first two areas of the instance.
The light shining down from the overhead plants was decreasing, and the entire space was becoming increasingly dark.
There is light ahead.
Qiao Zhixin suddenly pointed ahead.
After walking for a while, I finally saw a different color.
The red light was like a lamp shining on the dark earth.
