158: Sandworm

This dungeon only allows for a team of three, so individuals with two professions naturally have a great advantage.

And Li Changkong’s advantage was even more obvious.

In previous battles, he had already displayed the professions of Mage, Warrior, and Summoner.

Moreover, the strength of these three professions was not bad, and they would definitely be able to play a significant role in this dungeon.

Given the current situation, Bai Tongtong felt that she had not chosen wrong.

After a brief exchange, the three had already decided on a direction and prepared to advance towards the central position first.

Just as they had taken a few steps, they discovered that one sand pit after another had appeared on the flat ground in the distance.

After these sand pits appeared, one insect after another crawled out from the center of the sand pits.

Under the illumination of the red sun above their heads, these insects appeared purplish-red, looking exceptionally eerie.

Name: Sinful Sandworm

Rank: 40

Skills: Death Sandpit, Self-Destruct Attack…

The Rank of these sandworms was not very high; it was quite normal for ordinary monsters of Rank 40 to appear in a Rank 40 dungeon.

The number of sandworms was indeed very large, and in the blink of an eye, countless sand pits appeared on the ground.

And those sandworms continuously and rapidly crawled out from those sand pits.

The three of them quickly set up a simple Three Talents Formation, huddling together.

Before the other two could make a move, Li Changkong had already acted first.

The moment those sandworms appeared, his two beast pets instantly materialized.

After the two beast pets appeared, a surging aura instantly erupted.

After this aura erupted, the insectoids in the distance seemed to be slightly stunned for a few seconds.

After being stunned for a few seconds, they quickly regained their senses and charged madly towards Li Changkong.

“Courting death.”

Bai Tongtong, who was originally beside Li Changkong, softly murmured.

The next second, her figure vanished from its original spot, as if she had completely become invisible.

When she reappeared, she was actually among the insectoids.

Although she held a short sword in her hand, she wielded it with great ease.

She continuously swung it among these insectoids.

Basically, every time she swung the short sword in her hand, an insectoid would die.

Assassins themselves are the most formidable existences in terms of attack power among most professions.

And their attribute points are basically allocated to attack and speed.

Although Bai Tongtong is not a special profession, she is also a legendary profession, Night Assassin.

She can form her own Domain, and within this Domain, she can conceal her figure.

In addition, it greatly enhances her attack power, which is why she could take down those sandworms with one sword each.

Li Changkong, on the other hand, did not choose to engage in melee combat but instead took out a magic staff.

“Fireball Technique?”

Ming Dong was slightly stunned as he looked at Li Changkong’s skill.

Perhaps he was not very familiar with other Mage skills, but he was incredibly familiar with the Fireball Technique.

Generally speaking, Fireball Technique is the first skill a Mage masters, and it is also the simplest skill.

He originally thought that Li Changkong would be able to use some earth-shattering skill, but who knew he would actually throw Fireballs.

Just as he was about to ask, Li Changkong’s second Fireball had already surged out from the magic staff.

Following that, one Fireball after another was continuously thrown out.

These Fireballs varied in size; if there was one commonality, it would be the surging heat emanating from them.

Gradually, he also discovered that Li Changkong’s Fireball Technique seemed to be different from what he knew.

Normally, Mages should chant before casting spells.

Therefore, Mage cooldowns are generally long.

For a basic skill like Fireball Technique, their chanting speed could definitely be much faster.

But the Fireballs Li Changkong threw out were simply like a rapid-fire cannon.

He only heard gusts of wind rising in his ears, and those Fireballs were also continuously thrown outwards.

The power of these Fireballs was even more terrifying than imagined; basically, as long as they hit the target, they could directly take away a sandworm’s life.

He originally thought that Bai Tongtong’s speed in killing enemies was already terrifying.

But after seeing Li Changkong’s speed, she finally understood what terror meant.

And at this moment, he was holding a large shield and had activated the Taunt skill.

After the Taunt skill was activated, most of the monsters’ attack targets would first become him.

This way, the two of them could output without any pressure, with no need to worry about defending against the enemy.

Originally, the number of those sandworms was almost over a hundred.

In a short period, more than half of the sandworms had been completely taken down by them.

When the number of fallen sandworms reached ten thousand, those sandworms finally seemed to panic.

They actually re-burrowed into the sand, like timid turtles.

Most of these sandworms were of the earth attribute, which brought Li Changkong quite a few crystal cores.

Originally, these earth-attribute crystal cores should have been of no use to Li Changkong.

However, the subsequent upgrade of Tianzi Sword also required these crystal cores to be involved.

It needed over a hundred crystal cores of each of the five attributes, which was not a small number.

Although they could be obtained through purchase, the premium on crystal cores in the market was indeed too high.

He himself might have been blessed with luck, so the probability of obtaining crystal cores was about one-third.

But for an ordinary person to obtain a crystal core, they would need to kill at least 100 monsters.

Because they are very difficult to obtain, their selling price in the market is also extremely high.

Some time ago, in order to purchase the Marrow Cleansing Pill, Li Changkong’s money had already been mostly spent.

After all the monsters had dispersed, the ground was already covered with corpses.

But among these corpses, Li Changkong discovered some unusual presences.

Some of the corpses were completely black, which gave people a creepy feeling just by looking at them.

And these corpses were clearly not killed by ordinary skills.

After a quick look, Li Changkong could guess that these monsters seemed to have been killed by Dark skills.

And he himself had not used any Dark skills just now, as he was worried about being discovered by others.

Once discovered, he might be unable to explain himself.

If that was the case, then it should have been the Dark skills used by the person who had entered this dungeon earlier.

And the only ones who had entered this dungeon before were the Overbearing Guild’s Guild Leader and the reinforcements he had invited.
