Clean up the entrance to the Fish King Pond

New Professional Players were still continuously entering the stone platform.

Facing the chaotic battle above, few were able to break through the encirclement and enter the stone bridge.

Of course, as the battle grew more intense,

the Professional Players who had originally fought in national groups also began to fight among themselves.

Clearing out one person

meant one less competitor in the next twelve hours!

Lin Xuan watched from mid-air and smiled faintly.

The Lich King Form had already descended.

It was time to test the accumulated forces.

With a thought,

Lin Xuan directly summoned all the Undead Skeletons and Undead Ants from the Frost Domain, excluding the BOSS!

"Damn! Why are there so many Skeleton Soldierss!"

"That's not right, when did Dragon Gate Grottoes have so many Undead Ants?"

"Run! A group of Necromancers has arrived in the Relic!"

The stone platform instantly erupted.

Necromancers were a common profession, and many people transferred to it every year.

Many Professional Players understood its skills.

With so many Undead creatures on such a small stone platform,

if Corpse Explosion was unleashed...

What they feared came true.

Lin Xuan showed no mercy, directly initiating an artistic explosion!

Crack—!

There was no smoke, no screams.

Accompanied by a roar, the entire stone platform was almost cleared.

Nearly ten thousand Professional Players died and left the Relic.

What awaited them was twelve hours of agonizing waiting.

On the stone, there were still some Professional Players who had used life-saving skills in time.

Lin Xuan shook his head, secretly regretting it.

He no longer bothered with them.

He casually summoned a wave of Skeleton Soldierss and transferred them to the Frost Domain.

Then, he turned and flew towards the mountain path on the right.

The way to enter the First Level of the Underground Palace in the Longmen Grottoes Relic was not by using a teleportation array.

Instead, it required fulfilling specific conditions.

Lin Xuan landed on the mountain path to the right.

According to the map, this place was called Fish King Pool.

Dragon Gate Bridge was legendary as the place where carp leaped over the Dragon Gate and transformed into dragons.

The mutated Merman Demons here were monsters that failed to transform into dragons.

Fish King Pool was naturally the largest gathering place for mermaids.

Deep within Fish King Pool, a Merman King BOSS would randomly spawn.

The BOSS type was very random.

Most likely, it would be a normal Lord-level BOSS, with a small chance of being a World-Class BOSS.

There was an extremely small chance of it being a World-Class BOSS.

And the requirement to enter the First Level of the Underground Palace in the Dragon Gate Grottoes was also related to the BOSS.

"Kill three thousand Merman Demons and three thousand buddha statues."

"And, kill one of each type of BOSS on the surface."

"After killing them, a teleportation talisman will be automatically obtained."

"Using the teleportation talisman, you can enter the First Level of the Underground Palace."

Recalling the strategy in his mind, Lin Xuan had already begun to fight.

In the replicated Relic, the monster levels ranged from sixty to ninety.

And even the most common Merman Demon,

its attributes were comparable to those of dungeon monsters on Hell difficulty.

However, facing Lin Xuan, who had now transformed into the Lich King Form,

with doubled attributes, plus newly added Death Knight-like melee skills,

and facing true damage,

Lin Xuan swung frostmourne, slashing and killing among the monster horde.

"Death Whirlwind!"

"Grasp of Death!"

Bang, bang, bang!

The skills struck the Merman Demons, producing a series of impact sounds.

All the monsters that were killed quickly transformed into Undead Mermaids.

Lin Xuan did not command them to fight.

Instead, he collected them one by one into the Frost Domain.

Successfully killed Elite Merman Demon, Experience + 36000

Obtained Material, Merman Eyeball!

Successfully killed Elite Merman Demon, Experience...

Prompts kept popping up on the panel.

Lin Xuan hadn't felt this good in a long time.

Previously, killing monsters in dungeons would not drop materials or grant experience.

It could only be obtained by opening treasure chests after the dungeon settlement.

Now in the Relic, there were no such restrictions.

With various experience item buffs, it was incredibly satisfying!

"Not bad, if this continues, I can level up quite a bit within three days."

In the distance, many Professional Players who did not have flying mounts

and could only appear on the mountain path by killing their way through the monsters on the stone bridge, began to appear one after another.

Seeing Lin Xuan in his Lich King Form,

some almost made a move.

After all, many people had just seen Lin Xuan wave his hand in mid-air,

and then countless Skeleton Soldierss appeared on the stone platform, performing Corpse Explosion.

Some of their teammates were in there.

However, Lin Xuan's Lich King Form was too formidable now.

They dared not speak their anger.

They could only bypass Lin Xuan and rush towards the depths of the mountain path.

Here on the surface of Dragon Gate Grottoes,

although both sides were mountain paths, the area was very large.

And some mountain walls also had inward cave entrances.

Inside were mutated buddha statues.

No one came to provoke him.

Lin Xuan was too lazy to bother.

His short-term goal was to first clear Fish King Pool.

At the very least, kill three thousand Merman Demons and the Merman King BOSS here.

Lin Xuan was killing with gusto in the Relic.

The outside world was not quiet either.

The Professional Players who were cleared out cursed loudly.

Which force had gathered so many Necromancers!

Because of this matter,

some forces even started fighting directly at the entrance.

But soon, everyone discovered that

no force had sent out a Professional Player team with more than two Necromancers here today.

Due to this discovery,

the Professional Players at the entrance calmed down.

Many people recalled what happened in the Relic and also found something amiss.

Among the Undead creatures that appeared,

although there were Skeleton Soldierss, there were more Undead Ants.

Those ants had faint blue flames emanating from their bodies.

This was different from the green flames of the Undead creatures summoned and enslaved by Necromancers.

"Blue flames, it's very likely that this Necromancer has a Magic Card that matches his skills."

"Are you talking about the number one Necromancer in Xia Kingdom now, Master Shuibo?"

"His Skeleton Soldierss have a strong water element."

"And this year's top scholar, Lin Xuan, his skeletons have electric arcs."

"So, those with blue flames should also be similar to them."

Someone made a guess, and many people nodded in agreement.

However, some students from Mingzhu University frowned tightly.

Forget about the Undead Ants.

Inside the Relic, the floating snowflakes, that chilling death energy...

It felt a bit familiar.

"Could it be Jun..."

"Shh—"

Someone quickly covered the mouth of the person about to blurt out their guess.

Although they might have been cleared out by Jun Bujain,

they were still schoolmates after all.

If Jun Bujain could gain something in the Relic, or even obtain a replication crystal,

that would definitely be a benefit for all students of Mingzhu University.

After all, a replication crystal meant the school could add a new dungeon.

Although before that,

Jun Bujain had already blown up one of the study dungeons.

At the same time, Lin Xuan naturally didn't know any of this.

He was now completely engrossed in killing.

The area around Fish King Pool was already piled high with Undead.

The only pity was that the equipment and materials dropped after killing these monsters were mediocre.

His backpack space was almost full now.

He spent most of his time picking up dropped items.

However, later on,

Lin Xuan discovered that these materials could also be transferred to the Frost Domain.

This made him overjoyed.

The money he had originally planned to spend on backpack expansions was directly saved.

"After I go back, I'll find an architect to buy a movable house and put it inside the Frost Domain; it can serve as a small warehouse."

Lin Xuan thought silently, timing his skill cooldowns, and summoned another wave of Skeleton Soldierss.

Along with the converted Undead Mermaids behind him, he collected them all into the Frost Domain.

Then, Lin Xuan looked towards Fish King Pool.

Fish King Pool was a large lake overall,

but it wasn't an empty lake.

There were many rocks and giant lotus leaves in the lake.

There was even a long corridor leading to the center of the lake.

At this moment, many Merman Demons were leaping ashore and attacking him.

Lin Xuan paid no attention.

He had just summoned his summoned beasts, Irene and Silly Cow.

He had them form a team among themselves and start training to kill monsters and level up.

Splash—

Just as Lin Xuan was about to advance towards the center of the lake, he vaguely saw a huge wave rise.

The first BOSS of Dragon Gate Grottoes had arrived!
