Impregnable, control the underground palace

A skill that can grant immunity to true damage.

Lin Xuan hadn't seen it before, but he had seen it when he was looking up professional league matches.

The players who can play in professional leagues all have extremely high stats.

Especially the tank-type professions in the team's front row.

To be able to stand firm, absorb damage, and protect teammates, many tank-type professionals will choose one or two shield skills that can resist true damage.

Of course, these skills that can resist true damage are extremely rare.

And their effects are all like the horse-headed monster in front of him, only able to stand still and erect this special shield.

"Excellent, with this horse-headed monster, even if I face a true damage opponent in the future, I'll have time to drink the blood gourd and recover my status."

Lin Xuan was very interested in the horse-headed monster that appeared before him.

"You are qualified to be one of my Zodiac Squad members."

Lin Xuan smiled and switched his magical artifact to Moon's Anomaly.

Then he used Void Walk forward and initiated an attack.

"Bone Cage!"

Lin Xuan didn't hesitate, starting with a strong crowd control skill.

Under the enhancement of the Lich King Form, this skill mutated.

What were originally just three small skeletons now became six giant skeletons that drilled out of the ground.

They directly controlled the horse-head, who had sensed danger and was preparing to retreat, keeping him in place.

"Come with me, Horse-Head."

"I have an Ox-Head here who can be your big brother."

Lin Xuan chuckled, using a shared skill to release the Shining Carrot of the divine beast Jade Rabbit.

Three carrots hit, directly reducing the Horse-Head's health by three percent.

Under the Lich King Form, Lin Xuan's attack damage was greatly reduced.

But other effects attached to the skills would be enhanced.

For example, the control duration would be longer than in his normal form.

And the moment the Bone Cage skill effect disappeared, Lin Xuan's Other Worldly controlled him again.

"Roar..."

The Horse-Head roared, but was unable to cast skills.

"Splitting Mount Hua!"

Lin Xuan unleashed his strongest palm strike.

This time, the Horse-Head, whose skill was still on cooldown, was hit directly.

"-576936321"

With a thousand-fold damage bonus and the talent effect bonus.

Lin Xuan's strike dealt fifty million damage!

"Holy crap!"

"My thousand-fold damage is not even as good as three carrots!"

Lin Xuan had already tested his own damage, which was about fifteen million.

If a critical hit was triggered, it would be nearly thirty million health.

The ability to deal fifty million now was entirely due to the talent's true damage effect, deducting five percent of the opponent's lost damage.

Roughly calculated.

The Horse-Head in front of him had at least fifteen billion health!

Whoosh—!

Void Walk dodged an attack from the Horse-Head.

"Not bad, among the level 100+ World Bosses, its health isn't high."

Knowing the opponent's approximate health.

Lin Xuan no longer hesitated.

He commanded the nearby Jade Rabbit and Skeleton Soldiers to attack.

He himself pulled in front, attracting aggro.

Soon.

This horse-headed, human-bodied monster, capable of speaking human words, was killed.

Unfortunately, it didn't drop any good items.

But it didn't matter.

Its intelligence and unique skills made it the best reward in itself.

Without much entanglement.

Lin Xuan used the Undead Contract to convert the Horse-Head into a contract beast.

Unexpectedly, its quality also reached the rare level.

"Not bad, level up quickly!"

Lin Xuan was excited.

After collecting the dungeon core that dropped nearby, he quickly finished clearing the monsters in the canyon.

Soon.

The Horse-Head's level reached ten, unlocking its first skill.

"It must be Solid as Gold."

Lin Xuan was a little afraid to look.

He even wanted to shoot himself with a… Lucky Bullet.

[Skill: Solid as Gold]

[Cooldown: 100 seconds]

[Mana Cost: 500]

[Effect: When standing still, condense a special shield to block all types of damage (upper limit is current health). During this period, normal attacks can be used, but other skills cannot. The shield lasts for three seconds!]

"Awesome! Three seconds of invincibility!"

Lin Xuan's eyes lit up, feeling it was worth it.

He himself had a similar invincibility skill called Soul Virtualization.

It could virtualize his body, turning him into a soul state, immune to all control and damage.

The skill effect also lasted for three seconds.

He learned this skill for insurance.

Three seconds of invincibility, but he couldn't move at all.

However, Solid as Gold was different.

Not to mention that as the Horse-Head's level increased, the skill effect would become stronger.

Even now, it was already very good.

Although the effect also required standing still.

But in other aspects, it only restricted magic attacks!

He could transfer the effect of Splitting Mount Hua to normal attacks!

If the opponent saw him unable to move after casting the skill and wanted to provoke and kill him.

Then that would be...

"Hehehe, not bad." Lin Xuan smiled, patting the Horse-Head's head beside him, feeling very satisfied.

"The Zodiac Squad has another member."

"But, Ox-Head, Horse-Head, why do I feel a bit like the King of Hell?"

Lin Xuan chuckled softly and contacted Irena to have them meet him here.

Then.

He took out all the dungeon core he had obtained from his backpack and placed them in his palm.

Soon.

The five dungeon core slowly emitted a blue light, merging into a blue key in the blink of an eye.

[You have obtained five different levels of dungeon core, unlocked the Dungeon Key, and gained a small amount of Dungeon Authority!]

[Dungeon Authority Key]:

[Authority 1]: Can control the entry and exit rules of the First Level of the Underground Palace and the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace portals!

[Authority 2]: Can view the structure of the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace and the red dot images of all professionals within the Ninth Level of the Underground Palace space.

Note: Control nine different levels of core to gain full authority!

[Hint: Dungeon Authority has been changed. After thirty minutes, non-authorized parties will no longer produce dungeon core in all levels of the dungeon for seventy-two hours!]

"There's also an authority protection mechanism."

Lin Xuan saw the prompt and gained a deeper understanding of the dungeon.

The existence of this mechanism proved that in the dungeons where Blue Star and the Demonic Realm were currently fighting, the battle rest period within the five levels was basically only seventy-two hours.

After all, once one faction obtained the dungeon core, the other could not drop core and could only stare helplessly.

Of course.

The actual rest time was definitely less than seventy-two hours.

After all, the authority of the five-level space core could cut off the opponent's entrance into the dungeon.

For the remaining time, the opponent would have no support.

It was very likely that they would be besieged and killed by the controlling party's strong offensive.

And in the face of such a situation.

They could only continuously accumulate forces in the dungeon.

"No wonder Blue Star has developed so steadily for five hundred years with so many Transcendent Beings."

"With this mechanism, the dungeon is a meat grinder."

Lin Xuan sighed in his heart, picked up the key, and injected magic power.

As magic power surged.

The next moment.

In Lin Xuan's mind, a tower-shaped building appeared, small at both ends and thick in the middle.

"No wonder the dungeon is also called the Nine-Story Demon Tower, it really looks like it."

Lin Xuan mumbled to himself, his consciousness shifting, first exploring the Fourth Level of the Underground Palace to the First Level of the Underground Palace, which he hadn't visited.

Soon.

In Lin Xuan's mind, he could see dense red dots in the First Level of the Underground Palace space.

"Are these all the professionals who entered the First Level of the Underground Palace space?"

"There are quite a few."

Just as Lin Xuan was delving into the data.

Three very large red dots instantly disappeared!

"Oh no!"

Lin Xuan realized something was wrong and quickly closed the First Level of the Underground Palace.

This way, the professionals inside couldn't get out, and those outside couldn't get in.

After closing it.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Those three red dots on the First Level of the Underground Palace should be the three-stage Demon People.

The moment he took control of the dungeon.

They should have started heading towards the exit.

But thankfully.

If they had killed their way down, Lin Xuan would have felt a bit troublesome.

Compared to the Puppet Master now, his combat power definitely belonged to the top tier of Stage Two.

As for Stage Three.

He still needed to develop.

"I need to tell Teacher Li and the others about these three Stage Three Demon People from the Demonic Realm."
