Chapter 227: I'll blow you up right here, and get some good loot!
The soul fire pulsed violently, emitting booming and exploding sounds.
Suddenly, all the skeletons were injured, including the Lich General; none survived.
Jiang Chen, however, was the only one whose skeletal armor emitted a white light, successfully blocking the attack.
Judging from the intensity of the light emanating from the skeletal armor, the power of this attack should not be underestimated.
The Lich General sent back a message that their souls had been attacked.
Jiang Chen guessed that this must be the skill: Soul Explosion.
This skill directly affects the soul, and its effect is somewhat similar to Jiang Chen's own soul burning. The only difference is that soul explosion is a group attack skill that targets multiple enemies.
His Soul Burn is only a single-target skill.
This skill has such a wide range that it can affect almost the entire secret realm.
In order to quickly restore the soldiers' condition, Jiang Chen immediately had the Lich General use the Legion Healing skill.
A pale white light shone, and the skeletons all came back to life.
The Lich General also raised his staff, healing himself and the skeletons.
Fortunately, the Lich General was there; otherwise, the skeletons would have suffered heavy losses under the attack.
This time, the enemy, the Soul-Devouring Insect Queen, possesses extremely high mental strength and powerful skills, and the damage she inflicts on the soul is extremely painful.
Fortunately, these are skeletons and don't feel pain. If they were humans from other professions, they would surely be driven to the brink of collapse by the torment.
Even if one can endure it, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Jiang Chen has only ever seen Ning Wuxia endure soul pain; other human professionals find it difficult to do so.
The skeleton warriors had already rushed to the mental shield, unleashing their skills one after another. Their greatswords flashed red as they slammed into the mental shield.
Two thousand skeleton warriors, like a human pyramid, trampled on each other and covered the shield.
The greatswords slammed down repeatedly, crashing against the shield, while the 14 skeleton mages continuously unleashed their spells.
Ripples spread across the shield, with concentric circles of water spreading outwards, but no matter how it was attacked, the shield remained as steady as a mountain, without any wavering.
It's really hard!
Jiang Chen couldn't help but sigh. After being strengthened and fully buffed, the skeleton warrior's strength attribute had exceeded 5.
The skeleton mage's mental strength is as high as 10.
Its attack power is extremely strong.
But it still couldn't break through the mental shield.
The four Soul-Devouring Insect Guards' spiritual power was completely integrated.
With a mental strength of up to 80, the resilience of its mental protection is beyond imagination.
Despite the relentless bombardment from the undead legion, it remained unmoved.
Jiang Chen understood.
The Soul-Devouring Insect King is a lord-level BOSS that was raised by the Soul-Devouring Insect Mother in front of us.
The Soul-Devouring Insect King is a subordinate of the Soul-Devouring Insect Queen. It absorbs soul fragments from the outside world to nourish the entire secret realm.
The secret realm is filled with pure, unadulterated soul energy, all of which is controlled by the Soul-Devouring Insect Mother.
The entire secret realm provides energy for the Soul-Devouring Insect Mother.
The Soul-Devouring Insect Mother provides energy for the four Soul-Devouring Insect Guards.
To break through the mental shield is to fight against the energy of the entire secret realm.
Difficult, extremely difficult!
I wonder if anyone has ever killed the Soul-Devouring Insect Queen over the countless years.
After all, even a professional team at level 60 or above might not be able to break through such defense.
To break through, at least a large team would be needed.
Six-man teams and twelve-man teams are not enough.
But today, Jiang Chen wants to kill it.
Woohoo.
The mournful sound rang out again. The skeletons were wounded once more.
The skeletons that had been climbing the shield fell down like raindrops, thudding to the ground.
He then quickly got up and jumped back.
They are not afraid of death, nor are they afraid of pain.
The skeleton mage's skill was interrupted for a moment, then resumed.
Soul attack is very effective at interrupting skills.
Jiang Chen used Soul Burn to interrupt enemy skills, and it worked every time.
Unexpectedly, this situation has now befallen his own skeleton.
The Lich General continued to use Legion Healing.
The Soul Devouring Insect Queen's soul explosion is quite powerful, but the interval between attacks is relatively long, taking more than ten seconds to be used once, which the Lich General can easily handle.
The two sides were locked in a stalemate. Jiang Chen pondered how to deal with it and how to break through its mental shield.
The Soul-Devouring Insect Mother shared the same idea.
Hundreds of compound eyes on its body stared at Jiang Chen with hatred.
It already knew that the Soul-Devouring Insect King had died at Jiang Chen's hands.
A few seconds later, its entire body burst forth with a deep blue light.
At the same time, the skeleton armor shone brightly, and Jiang Chen was startled to find himself under attack.
They were attacked without warning.
Moreover, its attack power is extremely strong. The light from the skeletal armor could only have reached such a level when it was attacked by the Flame Demon King.
Soul attacks are all like this: silent, stealthy, and powerful.
Jiang Chen quickly added another layer of skeletal armor to himself.
At this level of attack, the skeleton armor can only withstand a maximum of two attacks.
When the Soul-Eating Insect Queen found that the attack was ineffective, it switched targets.
Seconds later, a skeleton warrior fell silently off the shield.
death!
The skeleton warrior is dead!
The Lich General relayed a message: A skeleton warrior is dead.
The cause of death was that the soul was frozen.
The skeleton warrior's soul fire had been extinguished, and his head was covered with a pale blue, cold light.
Apart from that, he had no other injuries.
The group attack has been transformed into a single-target attack, making it more covert and more powerful.
It could instantly kill the skeleton warrior. "It must be its skill, Soul Frost!"
Jiang Chen thought of the information transmitted back by the detection technique.
The Soul Frost, with its immense power, extinguished the soul fire of the skeleton warrior.
A new skeleton warrior appears beside me, filling the void left by the undead army.
During the previous battle with the Soul-Eating Insect King, more than ten skeleton warriors were lost, but they were all replaced afterwards.
Jiang Chen's original summoning queue has now become a candidate for the undead legion.
The blue light on the Soul-Devouring Insect Queen was still flashing.
Ten seconds later, another skeleton warrior died.
The flame of the soul was extinguished, and death was silent.
Soul attacks are difficult to defend against.
Jiang Chen continued to pull skeleton warriors from the summoning queue and add them to the ranks. Every ten seconds, a skeleton warrior would die.
The Soul-Devouring Insect Queen seemed determined to engage in a protracted battle with Jiang Chen.
Throughout the entire secret realm, soul energy flowed slowly.
This is the soul energy accumulated over countless years.
Jiang Chen tried using Soul Burn.
The mental shield is very strong and cannot be penetrated to lock onto the target.
Not only the soul-burning, but also the damage curses were kept out.
The mental shield was the most solid tortoise shell Jiang Chen had ever seen; it was incredibly hard.
The skeleton warriors were picked off one by one.
The Soul-Devouring Insect Queen can attack itself, but it cannot harm the Insect Queen.
This can't go on. The mental shield remained unmoved, its surface rippling like water.
All the attacks were shared by the four Soul-Devouring Insect Guards.
Within the secret realm, soul energy flows continuously, and the Soul-Devouring Insect Guards are completely unconcerned about consuming it.
Their eyes seemed to reveal a hint of mockery, looking down on Jiang Chen.
"Skeleton Mage, focus your attacks!"
With a thought from Jiang Chen, the Lich General simultaneously carried out the order.
The skeleton mages simultaneously begin attacking one location.
Thousands of spells simultaneously landed on the same spot.
The mental shield suddenly underwent a new change.
It was originally just causing ripples.
The location currently under attack has been slightly distorted.
The mental shield dented.
It worked! Jiang Chen's eyes lit up. Any change was a good thing, indicating that his idea was effective.
Then keep going, keep pushing!
This might be the breakthrough.
The skeleton mage continued to attack.
Skeleton warriors also joined the attack, intensifying their assault on the area.
But gradually, Jiang Chen realized something was wrong.
After a slight twisting and denting at the beginning, there were no further changes.
After several minutes of treatment, there was still only a slight distortion and a slight indentation.
The spiritual shield remains steadfast.
During this time, another twenty skeleton warriors were killed.
Jiang Chen saw blatant mockery in the Soul-Devouring Insect Queen's eyes. It seemed this method was useless.
The mental shield is too strong; normal attacks are ineffective.
Jiang Chen was unwilling to give up and retreat.
Energy flowed within the secret realm, the entrance twisted and disappeared.
The secret realm has closed again, becoming a sealed space.
The Soul-Devouring Insect Queen closed the secret realm, not intending to let Jiang Chen escape.
Jiang Chen touched the advanced escape talisman in his pocket.
Even if the secret realm is closed, it cannot trap him, and he should not be in any danger.
"In that case, let's try again!"
With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Chen stepped forward and walked to the shield.
The finger taps on the shield.
Skill: Skeleton Fangs!
A flash of white light appeared at his fingertips, and the shield in that area immediately caved in.
The skeletal fangs possess extremely strong penetrating power, even the scales of dragon professionals cannot withstand them.
Now, a total of 1200 level 30 skeletal fangs erupted simultaneously at a point the size of a fingertip.
Its attack power is not necessarily stronger than the Skeleton Mage's skills.
But its penetrating power is far superior to that of the Skeleton Mage.
A needle-shaped dent appeared on the shield, extending at least half a meter deep.
However, the shield remained sturdy and held firm.
Jiang Chen unleashed a barrage of skeletal fangs, releasing 10 rounds in one go.
The white light was blinding.
The two sides remained locked in a stalemate, with no sign of the shield breaking.
The skill stopped, the white light vanished with a bang, and the shield returned to normal instantly.
It's ineffective, still ineffective!
Even the skeletal fangs could not penetrate the shield.
Jiang Chen pressed his hand against the shield and suddenly sensed the aura of a soul within it.
His eyes lit up immediately; he had an idea.
The shield contains a large amount of soul energy, as well as the will of the Soul-Devouring Insect Guard, so…
The soul burns fiercely in the palm of my hand.
The once incredibly sturdy shield was instantly ignited.
A shield composed of soul and spirit is most afraid of soul burning, which can indeed ignite the soul.
The Soul-Devouring Insect Queen immediately showed a look of panic.
It suddenly launched an attack on Jiang Chen, trying to stop him.
Skill: Soul Frost! The skeletal armor burst forth with a dazzling white light, firmly blocking his attack.
Jiang Chen maintained the soul burning with his right hand, while pressing down with his left hand to put the skeletal armor back on himself.
The Soul-Devouring Insect Queen attacked Jiang Chen time and time again, but the Skeleton Armor firmly blocked her attacks.
The Soul-Devouring Insect Guards also let out frantic cries, constantly reinforcing their shields.
Soul energy was continuously poured into it, attempting to buy time.
After burning for a full minute, the soul finally burned a hole.
Jiang Chen's lips curled up slightly; he had finally locked onto it.
All the previous efforts finally paid off.
