80: Chapter 80 Attacked!

"Wuwuwu... I was wrong, I really shouldn't have provoked you."

Qin Wanxing perfectly demonstrated what it meant to be "bold yet cowardly." Just a moment ago, she was acting arrogant, but the moment she saw Su Chen's eyes weren't right, she immediately shrank into the covers, acting pitiful and softly begging for mercy.

Su Chen couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

He was only teasing the little girl; after all, she had just experienced her first time, and no matter how strong her constitution was, she needed time to recover.

The two of them then began to feast heartily.

After devouring over a dozen pieces of Mammoth meat filled with abundant energy, the stamina consumed during their previous intense battle was quickly replenished.

Su Chen gently carried the still-weary Qin Wanxing upstairs and settled her in so she could catch up on some sleep in peace.

"Time to go stockpile some high-level BOSS meat." Su Chen glanced at the organized data in his hand.

At this stage, leveling up by killing ordinary monsters had become extremely slow. On the contrary, the flesh and blood of high-tier BOSSes not only provided a large amount of experience but could also feed back into his attributes through certain means.

Although this "hunting style" was slower than boring dungeon grinding, it was superior in terms of comprehensive gains.

After leaving a spatial imprint in the villa's living room, Su Chen mounted the Amethyst Thunder-Flame Dragon and headed straight for the familiar Duantian Mountains.

Returning to this old place, he couldn't help but feel a bit sentimental.

When he first stepped into the wilderness, it was in these mountains that he encountered the Thunder Wyvern. It was that very fortuitous encounter that allowed him to have his current mount.

Just as his thoughts drifted away—

Swoosh—!!!

A pitch-black missile, swirling with the aura of death, shot toward him with a shrill sound of breaking air.

Relying on the extraordinary premonition brought by [Killing Instinct], Su Chen's upper body tilted eerily to the side. This sudden cold arrow almost brushed past his afterimage.

Boom—!

The black missile hit a towering ancient tree nearby. The once vibrant giant tree withered and died in an instant, its branches and leaves turning to dust, becoming a piece of lifeless rotten wood in the blink of an eye.

"Curse Missile? I was actually ambushed." Su Chen's eyes turned cold.

This skill was standard for a Necromancer, as common as a Mage's Fireball, but its power was much more bizarre.

He looked toward the direction the attack came from and saw a hunched old man floating in mid-air.

The other party was huddled inside a wide black robe, his withered, bone-like hands clutching a skull staff.

"Jie jie jie, so you're the kid who slaughtered Fan Cang and the others? Your reactions are quite fast." The black-robed old man's tone was grim, his greedy eyes lingering on the giant dragon beneath Su Chen. "Initially, I just wanted to investigate the cause of Fan Cang's death, but I didn't expect to catch such a big fish."

"If such a top-quality juvenile dragon is sacrificed into an Undead Bone Dragon, this old man's strength will surely undergo a qualitative change!"

[Name]: Chi Xue

[Level]: Lv117

[Class]: Necromancer

[Core Attributes]: Spirit 76,138, Constitution 44,844, Strength 33,350, Agility 38,795

[Talent]: [Mid-tier · Undead Power] (Rank A)

[Abilities]: Undead Fire, Bone Shield, Death Wither, etc.

[Talent Analysis]: Doubles Undead damage and comes with 10% damage reduction.

"Just this level?" Su Chen scanned the other's panel and let out a disdainful sneer.

A 6th transition rare class holder actually dared to come here and talk big?

In Su Chen's eyes, this guy's attributes were far worse than the Goblin Shadow Knight he had soloed before; he didn't pose a threat at all.

Su Chen couldn't be bothered to listen to his unpleasant laughter.

[Blink Thrust]! [Flash Stab]!

His figure suddenly disappeared from the dragon's back. Su Chen blinked repeatedly in the air, making the hundred-yard distance practically non-existent.

When he reappeared, he was right in front of the Necromancer's astonished face.

Puchi!

Puchi!

That was the flash of fire generated by the greatsword tearing through the air.

Under the old man's unbelievable gaze, two swords pierced through the thin black robe and the skeletal torso like lightning.

With the first strike, the Necromancer's already thin health bar mostly evaporated.

With the second strike, the health bar was completely emptied.

Without activating any buff states, Su Chen killed a 6th transition Undead using only basic attacks.

It had to be said that the health gap between a pure class holder and an Epic BOSS was simply too vast. Moreover, the attributes of a glass-cannon Mage like Chi Xue were as fragile as paper before him.

"So... such a fast sword... aren't you only at the Third Awakening..."

The old man's eyes widened, filled with terror and despair.

Even in death, he couldn't understand why a youth with a level far lower than his own could have damage that reached such an absurd degree.

The withered corpse fell rapidly from the high sky.

[Ding! You have killed Chi Xue!]

Since the other party initiated the attack, the system judged it as self-defense, and no sin value was added.

"Seeking your own death."

Su Chen withdrew the [flame of joy], landed on the ground, and began to scavenge.

Soon, the Necromancer was turned inside out.

[Ding! Obtained 30 million gold coins!]

[Ding! Obtained materials: Shadow Leopard Skeleton × 2...]

[Ding! Obtained equipment: Soul-Devouring Skull Staff, Ghostly Undead Robe...]

"Damn, so poor. Truly a disgrace for a 6th transition class holder." Su Chen complained unceremoniously.

A 6th transition Mage's entire net worth was only thirty million gold coins, and the equipment dropped wasn't top-tier either.

As for that corpse, which was almost entirely bones, Su Chen really couldn't bring himself to eat it; he didn't even have the desire to Devour it.

"Let's go, deeper in!"

Su Chen remounted the dragon's back and began a massive hunt within the Duantian Mountains.

For a time, rumbling sounds echoed continuously deep in the mountains. Su Chen, with overwhelming momentum, began a frantic harvesting mode against BOSSes below the 6th transition.

[Ding! You have killed the Red-Eyed Thunder Lion (Dark Gold BOSS), obtaining 19 million experience points!]

[Ding! You have killed the Storm Bear (Gold BOSS), obtaining 8.8 million experience points!]

[Ding! You have killed the Blazing Ox-Snake (Dark Gold BOSS), obtaining 25 million experience points...]

The slaughter continued until dusk.

A long-awaited white light of leveling up finally descended upon Su Chen.

[Ding! Your level has increased to Level 57. All attributes +10, Free Attribute Points +30.]

"Finally leveled up once. It's really slow enough."

Su Chen lay on the dragon's back and stretched.

Although soloing BOSSes gave extremely high experience, finding the monsters and traveling took up too much time. The efficiency was indeed not as good as grinding dungeons.

However, looking at the mountain of wild BOSS materials in his spatial ring, his mood improved quite a bit.
