Monsters Are Coming-Chapter 1008 - 276: Adventure World, Dungeon Begins

[Challenger Tips (Squad): The leader has determined the instance: Skeleton Throne, would you like to follow the teleportation?]

Below the prompt box were five extinguished Divine Lamps.

After Hong Yang clicked confirm with his consciousness, the first Divine Lamp lit up, followed by the four lamps representing his teammates also lighting up one after another.

Suddenly, a strong sense of weightlessness swept over.

The scene in front of him became blurred and distorted.

As his vision cleared, Hong Yang found himself standing on a gray-white wasteland.

The sky was a depressing dark red, like congealed blood clouds.

Occasionally, pale lightning silently streaked across, illuminating the towering black Royal City in the distance.

This city was not built of bricks and stones, but stacked with countless massive skeletons, with forest white bone pillars supporting the tall buildings, and twisted spine bones coiling into archways.

In the direction of the city gate, the empty eye sockets of two hundred-meter-tall skeleton giants burned with ghostly green soul fire, silently watching forward.

Crack!

The ground beneath was not solid, and it was easy to step on and crack pieces of bone while walking, making a crisp sound.

The air was filled with the scent of decay and the smell left after kerosene was burned, occasionally a chilling wind passed by, making it feel like faint whispers could be heard, like countless lost souls whispering in the ear.

In the distance, a road paved with countless skeleton arms snaked towards the Royal City, with forest white bone fingers seemingly ready to grab the ankles of passersby at any moment, engulfing them into the skeleton cage.

"So, there's no task hint for this instance?" Ah Qi, still playing with the dagger, asked with a confused expression.

"It's called the Adventurer World, after all, adventurers are primarily about adventure, how could there be clear tasks, or even a map to view, this is considered opening a wasteland." Wu, holding his Shield, grinned as he spoke, walking at the front of the team.

Hong Yang immediately kept pace with Wu.

As Wu just stepped onto the road paved with skeleton arms, the ground suddenly trembled.

Countless bone fingers suddenly shot up, clawing towards Wu like living things, while piles of bones on either side of the road surged violently, with dozens of incomplete skeleton soldiers climbing out, igniting ghostly green soul fire in their hollow eye sockets, waving bone knives and broken Shields, surrounding them.

"Here they come!"

Wu shouted lowly, fiercely smashing the Giant Shield onto the ground, the Gang Qi exploded, shattering the grasping bone fingers.

He then skillfully sidestepped and charged into the group of skeletons, the Shield's runes flickered, and the skeleton warriors around him immediately howled and pounced on him.

At this time, Hong Yang also made his move, kicking the end of the spear in his hand, flipping it mid-air to grasp it in reverse, Gang Qi entwined the spear, with a horizontal slash that cut three skeletons in half at the waist, after activating the Extreme Speed Characteristic, the spear shadows like a storm shattered the bone pieces into powder.

Ah Qi's figure also plunged into the shadows at this time, the next second, the head of a skeleton archer suddenly flew up, the dagger flashed coldly, and the skeleton fell apart into scattered fragments before it even hit the ground.

She shuttled through the skeleton warriors like a ghost, specifically targeting the rear-row skeleton mages, every time she appeared accompanied by a deadly strike under the Critical Strike Attribute.

Boom!

At this moment, Xiao Hua also took action, the rune resonance crown above his head lit up, a light swipe from his fingertip, and an Elemental Energy Tower rose from the ground, instantly disintegrating the attacking skeleton soldiers.

At the back of the team, Xiao Ye's sight jumped between the skeleton warriors, each time his gaze focused, a "Mark" attribute was tagged.

His pupils slightly contracted, as blue light dots appeared above the heads of all the marked skeleton warriors in his vision.

Releasing his fingers, the bowstring vibrated, and an arrow infused with Qi-Blood power shot out, abruptly splitting midway.

Dozens of blood-colored luminescent trails poured down like a torrential rain, each accurately piercing through the head of a skeleton warrior.

The place where the arrows passed, the skeletons crumbled, the black aura not even dissipated before being scorched away by the Qi-Blood power.

As the last shield-bearing skeleton's skull was pierced by the luminescent light, its raised bone knife just stopped in front of Wu's Shield, and with a clatter, dispersed all over the ground, bursting into three Gold Coins.

The battlefield was abruptly silent, with only the sound of bone fragments rolling.

Ah Qi's figure emerged from the shadow, brandishing the dagger in a flourish:

"Yo, Xiao Ye sure is strong huh?"

Xiao Ye lightly stroked the longbow, the corners of his mouth raised slightly:

"With enough marks, the arrows naturally shoot fast."

After the battle ended, their gaze swept over the items dropped on the ground.

Then they all moved to collect the spoils.

After tallying up, this battle earned them 9 Divine Coins.

Decomposition showed that Divine Coins are made of spiritual material and can be directly offered to Emperor Zhao and exchanged for sacrificial power.

But doing so is the most unwise choice, as this currency can be used to purchase specific items in the "Divine Lamp Store," including Rule Fragments.

Additionally, a Level 2 Spirit Plant also dropped.

The profits weren't much, but this random drop setting instantly gave them a sense of anticipation.

According to the official update announcement, even low-difficulty instances have a probability of dropping high-value resources, although the probability is low.

"This is awesome, it's much more fun than the Cave World, hurry up and open up the wasteland, then work on an Extreme Speed Strategy." Ah Qi's eyes shone, clearly liking the gameplay of the Adventurer World.

Wu also raised his Shield at this moment, continued to walk at the front of the team, advancing in the direction of the Royal City.

Along the way, groups of skeleton warriors occasionally revived and attacked them.

But the skeleton warriors' Hunting Level was around Level 45, posing no threat.

As the team continued to deepen, the chilling atmosphere of the Skeleton Wasteland grew heavier.
