Chapter 220 An ancient battlefield, utterly desolate
The ancient battlefield was not dark, because it was filled with various lights from different directions, weaving different colors in the air.
These rays eventually converged into a very special color, both dim and slightly reddish.
This scene is somewhat similar to a fiery sunset, but much dimmer.
Here, there are no stars, sun, or moon; only these mysterious lights illuminate the earth.
The air was filled with a complex smell, a mixture of the stench of blood and the scent of souls.
Jiang Chen heard the sound of wind, accompanied by various noises, including screams, roars, and shrill laughter.
These voices seemed to come from a previous era and had been passed down to this day. Jiang Chen felt a burning sensation in his palm, a crackling sound emanating from his soul.
These sounds gradually faded away, but left behind some lingering traces of the soul, which were then burned away.
"This is a really strange place!" Jiang Chen muttered to himself.
To stay safe in this dangerous place, Jiang Chen donned the skeleton armor.
He dared not be careless, so he used his own 3000 points of constitution as the base attribute and then used the 40x talent amplification to create a skeleton armor equivalent to 12 points of constitution.
This will enable him to withstand most abnormal states, providing sufficient security.
Jiang Chen was unaware that Li Xueru had chosen a relatively safe place for him beforehand.
After all, the Ancient Battlefield was extremely dangerous, so there was no need to let him know too much. He remained cautious, just as Hong Jishi and Li Xueru had told him, the Ancient Battlefield was fraught with danger.
Jiang Chen was accompanied by two skeleton warriors, one on his left and one on his right.
He followed his intuition, randomly choosing a direction to move forward, while remaining constantly vigilant about his surroundings.
Hong Jishi showed Jiang Chen the map he had simulated.
I also told him that there is no specific direction in the ancient battlefield.
All directions are relative and subject to change from time to time.
Hong Jishi hadn't been to the upper level for many years, and he wasn't entirely sure what changes had occurred there.
Ultimately, it will depend on Jiang Chen's own exploration.
The place that Li Xueru chose for Jiang Chen was indeed very safe.
After walking for a while, there was still nothing there.
There are only a few small hills, rising and falling. In the distance, the shadows of towering mountains can be faintly seen.
The light was too dim, and the distance that could be clearly seen was not very long, only about one or two hundred meters.
Finally, Jiang Chen saw a monster wandering aimlessly.
He was hundreds of meters away from the monster.
When he discovered the monster, the monster also discovered him.
The monster was covered in black smoke, as if it had just been pulled out of a fire.
His face was three parts human, three parts demon, and he also had the characteristics of a wild beast.
The monster looked at Jiang Chen, opened its mouth, and revealed sharp teeth.
"Such a keen sense."
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat, and the skeleton warrior was about to make a move. Suddenly, the monster vanished from sight.
"Disappeared, escaped?"
The next second, I felt a sudden tightness all over my body.
The ground beneath their feet cracked silently, and a flame shot out from underground.
His skeletal armor gleamed, blocking the flames.
Amidst the flames, a dagger, gleaming with a sharp, cold light, pierced through.
With a bang, the dagger was blocked by the skeleton armor.
The soul flames of the two skeleton warriors on the left and right pulsed violently. Jiang Chen was attacked, and they naturally reacted instinctively.
Two large swords, glowing with a faint golden light, slashed towards the monster.
Since the skeleton warriors reached level 30 and evolved into the gold level, they have developed a golden glow.
Golden light, like starlight, sparsely covered his entire body, including his weapon, the greatsword.
At that moment, the broadsword slashed out like lightning, its speed so fast that it left afterimages and sparks of golden light.
The skeleton warriors reacted extremely quickly; from the moment Jiang Chen was attacked to the moment they launched their attack, it took no more than 0.5 seconds.
Two knives landed on the monster.
The monster screamed, and black smoke exploded with a bang.
died?
Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback.
Are the monsters too fragile, or are the skeletons too strong?
A level 30 skeleton warrior, gold grade, with all four stats reaching 4.
Its attack power is indeed astonishing.
However, Jiang Chen still felt it was unlikely that he could instantly kill this monster.
After all, this is an ancient battlefield, and the attack power that this monster just displayed was not weak.
And without receiving any notification or gaining any experience, another burst of flame erupted from the ground, this time landing on the other side of his body.
The same dagger emerged from the firelight and pierced the skeleton armor with a deafening sound.
Startled, the skeleton warrior launched another counterattack.
This time, the skeleton warrior's sword shone brightly.
Skill: Berserker Power!
The attack power is 400% of the strength attribute. The attack power that bursts out in an instant, measured solely by the strength attribute, is as high as 16.
When the skill was activated, space itself seemed to distort.
A red light flashed, the monster screamed again, exploded with a bang, and disappeared.
Even the flames on the ground vanished without a trace at the same time.
The whole process happened so fast that Jiang Chen didn't even have time to use his detection technique. There was still no indication that the opponent was still alive.
This is an assassin-type monster with weak defense but extremely powerful attack.
If it were an ordinary level 30 professional, even a tough knight warrior, they would have been seriously injured by the sneak attack just now.
If it were a mage support, they could be instantly killed.
I caught a glimpse of a fire in my peripheral vision.
Front left, half a meter!
The skeleton warrior made his move the instant the flames erupted.
The detection technology was also deployed immediately.
The skeleton warrior wielded two swords, one of which sliced the surging flames in half from top to bottom.
The other weapon directly attacked the ground from which the flames were spewing.
The screams rang out again, this time giving the opponent no chance to make a move.
"Flame and Scorched Mist"
"Level: 38"
Strength: 15000
Agility: 15000
"Spirit: 10000"
Constitution: 10000
"Skill: Mist Transformation, Fatal Strike"
"Trait: Reduces physical damage by 70% and elemental damage by 30%"
Jiang Chen saw the monster's attributes.
Named Flame Smoke, it does indeed look like a cloud of scorched smoke.
Possesses the same lethal strike skills as assassins, with extremely high burst damage. Strength and agility are both good, but physical constitution is relatively weak.
The key is its characteristic: it reduces physical damage by a full 70%, which is why it can withstand two attacks from a skeleton warrior without dying.
But this time, the skeleton warrior's preemptive attack delivered the fatal blow.
"Slaying a level 38 Flame Mist mage grants +760000 experience."
The experience points are similar to those of the Abyss Demon, which is consistent with its attributes.
However, it is slightly more dangerous than the Abyss Demon.
The unpredictable attacks and terrifying bursts of power are enough to give many professionals a headache.
Clear out this monster and continue forward.
After walking for a while, they did not encounter a second monster.
The ancient battlefield is very large; the closer you are to the center, the more monsters there are, and the farther you are from the center, the fewer monsters there are.
Everyone who comes to the ancient battlefield is judged using this method.
I've been at the Ancient Battlefield for almost half a day now, and apart from the first Flame Mist monster I encountered, I haven't run into another one.
Jiang Chen felt a sense of desolation; there was nothing but black earth and undulating hills.
At this moment, Jiang Chen was certain that he was on the edge of the ancient battlefield, and very much so.
He changed direction and walked in the other direction.
Finally, a second monster came into view.
A gigantic monster, over three meters tall, composed entirely of black rock.
Its massive body moved slowly across the land, its stone-built form rubbing against the ground with a soft, rustling sound.
When I saw it, it was facing away from me.
A glint of light flashed at his fingertips, and a gentle breeze swept out. "Black Rock Monster"
"Level: 45"
Strength: 20000
Agility: 5000
"Spirit: 20000"
Constitution: 30000
Skill: Whirlwind Ball
"Trait: Reduces physical damage by 50% and elemental damage by 70%"
As expected of a level 45 monster, its four main attributes combined have reached a staggering 75000 points.
Strength and spirit reach 2 points.
The skill is magic-based, indicating that this is a monster that possesses both elemental and physical attacks.
As Jiang Chen saw the attributes, the Black Rock Monster had already turned around. Its massive arm swung up.
A whirlwind, larger than Jiang Chen himself, hurtled in.
The whirlwind ball moved at incredible speed and slammed into Jiang Chen with explosive force.
The skeletal armor was dazzlingly bright, its white light blazing intensely.
With a loud bang, the whirlwind ball exploded in front of Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was protected by the skeleton armor and was unharmed.
However, both skeleton warriors were simultaneously blasted several meters away.
The whirlwind ball has a forced knockback effect.
Then the two skeleton warriors rushed over and unleashed their skills.
The greatsword struck the black rock monster, making a sound like striking metal.
The stone monster swung its large arms at the skeleton warrior.
Not only does its windball have a knockback effect, but every one of its basic attacks has a knockback effect. The skeleton warriors are constantly knocked back, and then they charge forward again.
With a constitution of up to 3 and a 50% reduction in physical damage, it is incredibly durable.
The skeleton warriors were constantly being knocked back, and could only exert half of their strength at most.
Although the two skeleton warriors have stats as high as 4, it will still take time to kill them.
Another whirlwind ball appeared, hitting the skeleton warrior and exploding.
With a bang, both skeleton warriors were blasted away at the same time.
The skeleton warrior that was hit head-on was blasted back more than a hundred meters.
Jiang Chen's heart stirred, and eight more skeleton warriors appeared.
Ten skeleton warriors surrounded the black rock monster and unleashed a barrage of skills.
The black rock monster emitted a dull thud, and countless cracks appeared on the stones on its body.
Then it exploded!
"Slaying a level 45 Blackrock Monster grants 1350000 experience points."
Monsters at level 40 give more experience than monsters below level 40.
The quantity is just too small.
"The monsters here seem to have the characteristic of both physical and elemental damage reduction."
"I wonder how effective my damage curse will be."
The two monsters have a huge difference in level.
This also confirms the chaos and disorder of the ancient battlefield.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!"
"Human Race!"
A cold laugh suddenly rang out in the air. Jiang Chen looked up and saw an Abyss Blade Demon with eight arms standing in the air.
A pair of ferocious, scarlet eyes were staring intently at Jiang Chen.
