17: Chapter 17 being open means it's not closed!

The reason the Swift Black Tortoise could insta-kill the Bone-Eater Leader BOSS was mainly because the opponent's magic defense was lacking.

With the Swift Black Tortoise's current attack power, a single Water Bullet could deal over 15,000 magic damage; naturally, a BOSS with only 7,280 HP couldn't withstand it.

Lu Chen, who was still wandering around exploring, suddenly received a mission notification:

[Ding, the Abyss Dungeon's first-floor guardian BOSS has died, the entrance to the second floor is now open!]

"Cleared already? I haven't even explored for 3 minutes yet!"

Not long after, Lu Chen's beast pets crushed and swept through all the Bone-Eater Invading Monsters on the first floor of the Abyss Dungeon.

Far away at Lu Chen's home, the Green-Scaled Snake's body constantly emitted the glow of leveling up, which Xiao Yun found quite astonishing.

The experience gained by the master from grinding monsters could be enjoyed by the beast pets regardless of where they were, and all beast pets shared the experience equally.

Lu Sen stroked his chin, lost in thought.

From the Green-Scaled Snake's leveling speed, he could roughly guess that his son had taken on an advancement mission of at least 9-star difficulty.

Because the higher the difficulty of the advancement mission, the more experience points the beast pets gained from killing monsters, which was why the Green-Scaled Snake could level up so quickly.

He knew that his son had contracted over a thousand beast pets, and for beast pets to level up quickly, the required experience was immense.

"Based on a rough estimate, with over a thousand beast pets, even a 9-star difficulty advancement mission wouldn't result in such fast leveling, right? This kid didn't take on a 10-star difficulty advancement mission, did he?"

Lu Sen frowned.

A 10-star difficulty advancement mission had another name: Death-Level Mission!

Although his son had over a thousand beast pets, a full set of legendary equipment, and a resurrection ring, the BOSS of a 10-star difficulty advancement mission was not easy to deal with, especially the final BOSS, known as the Reaper!

Meanwhile, Lu Chen had arrived at the place where the Bone-Eater BOSS died, and a teleportation vortex had appeared above its corpse.

[Huh? This was the final BOSS of the first floor! I thought it was just a large elite monster!]

"Uh!!!" Seeing the words appear above the Swift Black Tortoise's head, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh or cry; was the little Black Tortoise this cute?

On second thought! The Bone-Eater Invading Monsters here couldn't withstand a single blow from the beast pets, so it was normal for the little Black Tortoise to treat the BOSS like a mob.

The poor Bone-Eater Leader BOSS was insta-killed without even seeing what its enemy looked like.

Entering the second floor. The environment here was similar to the first floor, but the layout was a bit different.

This time, Lu Chen didn't encounter scattered Invading Monsters, but a large group that filled the corridor.

Each one had a translucent, gelatinous body, with human-faced raised patterns floating on its surface. They had a pair of foul-smelling, rotten wings, a humanoid form, and held corroded longswords, drifting in front like ghosts.

[Name: Abyss Banshee · Elite]

[Rank: Tier 1 LV30]

[HP: 14700]

[Mana: 1140]

[Attack: 1470]

[Defense: 342 Physical Defense / 882 Magic Defense]

[Special Status: Abyssal Power (HP x5)]

[Skills: Banshee Gasp, Spirit Slash]

The Abyssal Power buff bonus for the Invading Monsters on the second floor of the Abyss Dungeon had changed.

Lu Chen remembered that the Invading Monsters on the first floor had Defense x5, while the ones on the second floor had HP x5.

This resulted in these Abyss Banshees each possessing extremely high HP; to kill them, he had to land at least two normal attacks!

However, Lu Chen didn't care at all; as long as he let the Ice Horn Ant beast pets lead the way, he could sweep through everything.

Therefore, this time Lu Chen didn't let his beast pets scatter to hunt the Invading Monsters, but instead had them attack as a group, crushing everything in their path!

Screech! The group of Abyss Banshees suffered a devastating blow, emitting very seductive screams.

Not long after, Lu Chen continued to maintain his no-damage status and arrived at the second-floor guardian BOSS!

The attributes of the Abyss Banshee Queen were similar to the first-floor Bone-Eater BOSS, but with the bonus of Abyssal Power, her HP reached a full 36,400 points!

[An F-Rank Beast Tamer? What kind of joke is this? How could an F-Rank Beast Tamer possibly contract over a thousand beast pets and still crush us like this?]

The Abyss Banshee Queen had thought that some Divine-Grade job changer had been born in the Human Race and had come to do the Abyss Trial, this 10-star advancement mission, which was why her subordinates were defeated.

But she never expected that the opponent was actually just an F-Rank Beast Tamer!

Everything before her eyes told her! This human F-Rank Beast Tamer kid must be cheating, otherwise, it wouldn't be this outrageous!

[Are you cheating?]

"If it isn't off, then it's on, right!"

[...]

Hearing the opponent brazenly admit it, the Abyss Banshee Queen immediately let out a huge shriek. She knew she was doomed today, but even in death, she could not tarnish the reputation of the Abyss Banshee Queen!

Screech!!! Seeing the opponent attack, the swarm of Ice Horn Ants immediately surged forward in unison.

When the ant swarm dispersed, there was no longer any Abyss Banshee Queen, only a corroded sword remained; not even bone scraps were left.

Just like that, Lu Chen easily killed his way to the third floor.

The Invading Monsters on this floor were all Abyssal Demon Scorpions, at least ten meters in size, giving people a very powerful sense of oppression.

And with their Abyssal Power buff, both HP and defense were increased by five times, making their strength far superior to the Abyss Invading Monsters on the two floors below.

With this level of strength! Even a legendary Genius would have their scalp tingle upon seeing it!

Fortunately, due to the restrictions of the dungeon terrain, they couldn't gather together too much, so they didn't cause Lu Chen any trouble.

Over 10,000 HP! 5,000 in both defenses! They couldn't withstand the simultaneous force of over a thousand beast pets!

Sweep! Continue to sweep! In less than half an hour, Lu Chen had reached the depths of the dungeon without taking any damage.

This was a huge prison cell, inside of which was a 20-meter-long Abyssal Demon Scorpion King.

[Name: Abyssal Demon Scorpion King · Leader BOSS]

[Rank: Tier 1 LV30]

[HP: 36400]

[Mana: 36400]

[Attack: 3640]

[Defense: 10920 Physical Defense / 10920 Magic Defense]

[Special Status: Abyssal Power (HP x5, Defense x5)]

[Skills: Scorpion Tail Sting, Corrosive Poison Burst]

Holy crap! Over 10,000 in both defenses? Lu Chen was slightly surprised!

The Leader BOSS in front of him could be said to be abnormal in every way except for its attack power; just based on its HP and defense, it could already look down on many Tier 1 job changers!

It was estimated that if it just stood there, few job changers could even make a dent in it!

For this kind of BOSS, one could only rely on penetration-type skills to deal damage.

The mission notification stated that in the Abyss Trial, healing was absolutely forbidden, meaning these Invading Monsters could not recover HP.

If one had extremely strong combat skills and had mastered penetration skills, there would still be a chance to kill it.

But Lu Chen didn't need to consider so much. Because the Ice Horn Ants naturally came with penetration damage, even if they could currently only deal over 100 points of penetration damage, a thousand of them could deal 100,000 damage, enough to insta-kill it!

[Where did this cheating brat come from? But this is as far as you go; I am the Demon Scorpion King that you cannot defeat!]

Hiss! Seeing the Abyssal Demon Scorpion King dare to be disrespectful to their master, the thousands of Ice Horn Ants immediately swarmed up, and the massive Abyssal Demon Scorpion King instantly vanished on the spot.

[Ding, congratulations on killing the Abyss Dynamic Dungeon's third-floor guardian BOSS without taking damage, triggering the hidden Abyss Merchant NPC!]

The next second, a bald, blue, chubby guy appeared, sitting on a toilet, holding a book titled [How to Raise an Abyss Banshee], with an extremely lecherous expression. His skin was deep blue, but it was slightly flushed at the moment.

Abyss Merchant NPC Guru Du: "..."

Lu Chen: "..."

"This is an NPC?"

"Someone cleared the Abyss Dungeon without taking damage?"

The two stared at each other, both completely dumbfounded.
