110: The charm of war

After opening the treasure chest, Li Feng stepped into the second palace.

In this palace, the number of Tidal Giants had doubled.

Li Feng didn't know if this posed a challenge for other challengers.

But for him, it was still an easy sweep.

After killing all the Tidal Giants, Li Feng gained 1 million gold coins and a large amount of experience points.

The 'small amount' of experience was relative to seventh-tier elite monsters and legendary BOSSes.

In fact, when converted into specific data, the experience gained from seventh-tier monsters was massive compared to first-tier monsters.

Even with tens of thousands of Flying Mantises and Magic Sound Conch Insects sharing this experience, the Flying Mantises still benefited greatly.

The Flying Mantises summoned before the siege battle, almost all of those who survived until the end were close to max level, so they didn't level up for now.

However, the Flying Mantises summoned after the siege battle all leveled up to 2, and all their attributes received a 10% increase.

Although the increase was not significant, thousands of them leveling up simultaneously was still a very pleasing sight.

After clearing out all the Tidal Giants, another crystal treasure chest appeared before Li Feng.

As expected, the items opened from the treasure chest were identical to the previous ones.

Subsequently, Li Feng was teleported to the third palace.

It was still Tidal Giants, this time their number had doubled again from the second palace, totaling four hundred Tidal Giants.

The number was not that large.

But four hundred 20-meter-tall behemoths standing together still created a tremendous sense of oppression.

Anyone with megaphobia coming here would probably be scared to death instantly.

Fortunately, Li Feng's emotions remained stable from beginning to end.

Ten thousand against four hundred, it was still a complete victory for the Flying Mantises.

The items in the treasure chest were still the same as before.

Immediately after, Li Feng was teleported to the fourth palace.

“Congratulations on passing the first round of challenges. You will wait here for your opponent to arrive. If your opponent does not arrive within the specified time, you will win without a fight.”

Unlike the previous three palaces, this palace was pitch black, and even with Li Feng's eyesight, he could only see objects within a few dozen centimeters around him.

Listening to the prompt echoing in his ears, Li Feng's brow suddenly furrowed.

He realized he had overlooked a very important problem.

If others fell within the monster palaces, then even if he fought his way to the end, he wouldn't be able to collect all the skill book fragments.

“So, now I not only have to pray they don't chicken out and hide, but also pray they possess enough strength to make it all the way to the end.”

Li Feng's expression became strange.

Time slowly passed as Li Feng waited, bored.

In the endless darkness, there was not a single sound, making it eerily quiet.

Perhaps ten minutes, perhaps half an hour, or perhaps several hours later.

Li Feng finally heard a sound.

“Your opponent is Chen Long [Earth Dragon Rampage]. Do you accept the challenge?”

“Accept!”

Without hesitation, Li Feng agreed instantly.

On another high platform, Chen Long, who had just been teleported, also heard a similar prompt.

His heart tightened, and he frowned slightly.

“How is this possible? This kid is just a Novice Lord this year, yet his clearance speed is faster than mine?”

Chen Long's face was gloomy.

He wasn't an idiot; if he could face an enemy as soon as he arrived, it proved that the other party's clearance speed was faster than his.

Of course, it was also possible that their clearance speeds were almost identical.

But no matter which possibility, it made Chen Long disbelieving.

Although he hadn't awakened an SS-rank talent, he was still the top player in his division back then, and he had two more years of development than Li Feng.

“Hmph, a fast clearance speed doesn't mean strong combat power. Let me teach this newbie the charm of war.”

After a cold snort in his heart, Chen Long also chose to accept.

Whether it was for revenge for his younger brother or for that rare Lord Skill Book, he couldn't give up.

Crack!

As Chen Long accepted, light instantly dispelled all darkness.

A colossal palace, large enough to accommodate two or three airports, appeared before Li Feng and Chen Long's eyes.

At this moment, both of them were each on a suspended high platform.

The high platform was not large, only ten square meters, with a half-meter-high crystal railing around it.

The two high platforms faced each other across the air, and although they were far apart, Li Feng could still clearly see Chen Long's face.

“Li Feng, it seems your luck isn't very good. Since you've met me, just be eliminated obediently,” Chen Long said to Li Feng with a cold smile.

“I hope your strength is as great as your words,” Li Feng responded indifferently, not putting Chen Long in his eyes at all.

“Arrogant!” Chen Long roared, his killing intent surging.

A mere Novice Lord dared to despise him so much; he had to teach this kid a lesson.

“You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth…” Midway through his sentence, Chen Long stopped.

Space distorted, and the Troops of both sides appeared on the battlefield.

This time, he brought a million strong Troops into the dungeon, forming a terrifying sea of soldiers.

On Li Feng's side, however, there were only a mere thirty thousand Troops.

But Chen Long did not disdain him because of this; instead, his heart grew cold, and a sense of unreality arose spontaneously.

He recognized Li Feng's Troops.

Tens of thousands of sixth-tier Flying Mantises, twenty thousand seventh-tier Seven-Colored Star Ladybugs.

Damn it, how could it be so outrageous!

Chen Long looked at his own Troops and couldn't help but twitch his face.

A million strong army was indeed a lot, but over eighty percent of them were first, second, and third-tier Troops.

Fourth, fifth, and sixth-tier Troops accounted for the remaining nineteen percent.

Seventh-tier Troops, after two years of his development, barely exceeded a thousand.

Eighth-tier Troops were even fewer, only two hundred.

As for ninth-tier Troops, they were even more pitifully scarce, a mere 6.

“Kill!”

While Chen Long was still in shock, Li Feng had already given the order to attack.

In an instant, tens of thousands of Flying Mantises charged out simultaneously, wantonly slaughtering in Chen Long's army of Troops.

The Seven-Colored Star Ladybugs followed closely, and millions of arrows rained down, instantly annihilating hundreds of thousands of low-tier Troops in front.

Seeing this scene, Chen Long's face twitched. Even hundreds of thousands of ants shouldn't be trampled to death so quickly.

“How is this possible!”

Suddenly, Chen Long let out an exclamation.

He had sent out his Ice Crystal Flying Dragons, wanting to kill those annoying Flying Mantises.

Generally speaking, sixth-tier Troops were no different from ants in front of ninth-tier Troops, easily able to instantly kill a large number.

But this group of ants not only withstood the Ice Crystal Flying Dragons' attacks but also gathered in a certain number and surrounded and killed his Ice Crystal Flying Dragons.

The entire process took no more than a minute.

His 6 Ice Crystal Flying Dragons were all wiped out, while not a single one of the opponent's Flying Mantises died.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!

A sky full of arrows suddenly filled Chen Long's eyes.

He watched helplessly as his Troops suffered continuous casualties.

Even if he racked his brains and made various arrangements, in the face of absolute power, his so-called troop deployment was meaningless.

At this moment, Chen Long just wanted to shout: To hell with the charm of war.

This war only lasted half an hour, and Chen Long's million strong Troops were all eliminated.

The rules of the Crystal Palace were somewhat different from the two dungeons Li Feng had entered before.

Troops dying due to Lord battles were only eliminated from the dungeon and would not truly die.

When the last hero was also eliminated from the dungeon, Chen Long was subsequently eliminated as well.

All the resources he obtained in the dungeon went to Li Feng...
