"Swoosh!"
"Swoosh!"
As several sounds of breaking through the air rang out,
Countless extremely fast spikes crossed half the distance in an instant,
heading straight for Mo Xiao and Jiang He,
Mo Xiao quickly reacted upon seeing this.
The staff in his hand hit the floor again.
In an instant, another skeleton lord emerged from the ground.
Accompanying him were 20 or 30 skeleton soldiers.
"Advanced Resistance Fire Ring!"
At the same time, Mo Xiao forcefully raised his palm towards the front of Jiang He.
Before Jiang He could react, a tremendous force directly propelled her into Mo Xiao's embrace.
Then, Mo Xiao swiftly turned around, completely shielding Jiang He within his embrace.
In just a few breaths, dozens of spikes instantly struck Mo Xiao's back.
"Ah!!!"
"Mo Xiao?!"
Witnessing this scene, numerous people outside the instance widened their eyes,
Even Jiang Shan couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment,
And even the Deputy Master took two steps forward involuntarily.
"Huh? This kid seems to be fine?"
At this moment, flashes of white light appeared on Mo Xiao's body,
Then, the heads of the skeleton soldiers nearby shattered into bone fragments, scattering on the ground.
[Skeleton Soldier killed by the Thorny Ant Overlord!]
[Skeleton Soldier killed by the Thorny Ant Overlord!]
[Skeleton Soldier killed by the Thorny Ant Overlord!]
…
[Skeleton Lord killed by Thorny Ant Lord!]
[You brushed against the goddess Jiang He, and the Skill Precision has been replicated!]
[The soft touch makes your heart race, refining into the Elf Eye with precision!]
[Elf Eye: Passive Skill. With the Elf Eye, you can easily glimpse the weaknesses of enemies. Hitting the weak points guarantees a critical hit!]
As Mo Xiao listened to the system prompts, his face turned red.
He quickly released Jiang He, not waiting for her to speak, and grabbed the staff in his hand.
"Die! Soul-Devouring Black Flames!"
In an instant, a black flame erupted directly on the thorny ant.
[Instant death effect triggered!]
-9,999,999,999!!!
A string of gray numbers filled with nines flashed across the head of the thorny ants.
In an instant, the thorny ants turned into ashes, leaving behind only scattered drops on the ground.
…
Silence.
Both inside and outside the instance, everyone fell silent.
That string of numbers was just too terrifying.
Even Jiang Shan had never seen such horrifying damage before.
The Deputy Master stared fixedly at Mo Xiao on the screen, took a deep breath, and looked at Jiang Shan beside him. "Jiang Shan… Did you see clearly? What was that just now?"
"I don't know… All I know is that it was at least an eight-digit number." Jiang Shan said dazedly, "Even if I went all out to kill a Level 1 monster, I couldn't deal that kind of damage…"
"I didn't ask you that. Did you see the color of the number just now?" The Deputy Master shook his head and asked again.
"It seems to be… gray?" Upon hearing the Deputy Master's question, Jiang Shan thought for a moment and replied.
"It's indeed gray. Who is this Mo Xiao? This is an instant death effect! In the entire human race, only that person has such a skill!" The Deputy Master said excitedly.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shan's pupils also trembled slightly. "He is Mo Xiao from the Mo family, and he is just a solo player."
"Solo player… solo player… Indeed, it fits. Other professions can't learn this kind of skill." The Deputy Hall Master's eyes gleamed, "You've done a good thing this time. You stay here and watch. I'll take a step ahead. The college entrance exam in two months seems to be quite interesting!"
Meanwhile, inside the instance dungeon.
Jiang He quickly turned around and looked at Mo Xiao worriedly.
Although the situation just now was sudden, it made Jiang He a bit flustered and her face turned red.
But she understood what had happened; it was evident that Mo Xiao was protecting her.
"I'm sorry, it was an emergency, and I had to do it this way," Mo Xiao calmly took a step back and said.
Jiang He opened her mouth, and only then did she notice that Mo Xiao seemed completely unharmed. "Are you… alright?"
"Yeah," Mo Xiao nodded and said, "My skeleton lord has a skill called Life Sharing. As long as it and its skeleton soldiers are not dead, I won't die.
"Which means, unless someone can deal tens of thousands of damage in one go, I am absolutely unkillable," Mo Xiao said calmly.
"Oh, I got scared earlier. I thought you were going to die," Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Mo Xiao's explanation.
Hearing Mo Xiao's explanation, Jiang He breathed a sigh of relief.
As he spoke, Mo Xiao slowly walked to the spot where the thorny ants had died and picked up the dropped items.
[You obtained Multi-Spike Arrows *50 (Multi-Spike Arrows: With fixed impact, doubled flight speed and damage! It also has the ability to penetrate, passing through up to three targets.))]
[You have obtained 10 spikes.]
[You have obtained a Lord Boss Treasure Chest*1]
[You have obtained Multi-Spike Longbow (Purple)*1]
[You have obtained a skill book, Thorns (Purple)*1]
"!" Looking at the item in front of him, Mo Xiao was also shocked.
From the looks of it, the treasure chest was definitely dropped by the Boss.
However, the same Boss not only dropped equipment, but also a skill book!
These were all extremely rare items!
While Mo Xiao was shocked, Jiang He suddenly said, "You killed this boss, and you protected me. You can keep all the items. Our Jiang family won't be short of these things."
"…" Mo Xiao glanced at Jiang He, pondered for a moment, and without being overly polite, said directly, "Thanks. If you have anything you want to forge in the future, you can come to me."
Jiang He smiled slightly, "Sure, then I won't hold back when that time comes."
"Yeah," Mo Xiao nodded, directly storing the series of dropped items in his backpack. As for leveling up, Mo Xiao planned to wait until they were out of the instance before doing so, to avoid arousing Jiang He's suspicion.
In case Jiang He noticed anything amiss.
After killing this lord, most of the creatures that appeared on the way were thorny ants.
Fifteen minutes later.
[Congratulations! You successfully killed the Black Ant King and obtained 5,000 experience points!]
[Congratulations! Black Ant Nest, the secondary quest of the instance, has been completed! Killing the Ant Queen will completely end the instance!]
"Only the ant queen is left."
Mo Xiao casually put away the ant king's loot and looked at the passage in front of him that led to the queen ant's location. He said softly, "Do you need to rest?"
Jiang He shook her head. "No need. Let's set off directly. I feel like we haven't fought for long. We might even be able to break the dungeon record!"
"En, okay." Mo Xiao nodded, "Then we…"
At this time, Mo Xiao's words suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Jiang He asked curiously.
Mo Xiao did not say anything. He slowly walked to a wall and gently touched it. Suddenly, a system prompt sounded.
[Hidden space discovered. Do you want to teleport in?]
