Chapter 70: 70 Chapter 70: They Went In Again, Taking You Along for the Ride Outside the dungeon, both sides were still in a standoff. In the past half hour, another conflict had erupted between them. Neither side had gained an advantage. They were now about 50 meters away from the dungeon entrance, unable to get closer. Getting closer would invite fierce attacks. Suddenly, five figures appeared at the dungeon entrance. Ten skeleton warriors appeared with them. Lin Moyu’s group left the dungeon under the protection of the skeleton warriors. "They came out." "So fast, it’s only been half an hour." "They probably couldn’t beat it and retreated." "Heh, those skeletons look tough, but they’re probably just good as meat shields." In their eyes, the skeleton warriors were just tough and numerous, nothing more. The Cherry Blossom Country people mocked them. They absolutely wouldn’t believe Lin Moyu had cleared the dungeon. Just half an hour wasn’t enough time. Even with a perfect team composition, it would take at least 1-2 hours to clear a Nightmare difficulty dungeon. The Divine Summer Empire side had a different reaction. They were relieved to see Lin Moyu’s group return safely. "Brother, come back quickly." "It’s okay if you failed the dungeon, as long as you’re alive." "As long as you’re alive, there will be more chances in the future." Ling Zhen sneered, "Lucky you managed to come out alive." Jiang Taotao scanned both sides and saw no one was missing. This meant no one had entered the dungeon. "Be careful, you guys." Ning Yiyi smiled happily, "Don’t worry, with Moyu here, we’ll be fine." "Mm, I’ll wait for you outside." Duan Gao and Miao Yu also said, "Good luck." The three retreated to the Divine Summer Empire team. Ning Yiyi and Lin Moyu formed a two-person team. Under everyone’s gaze, Ning Yiyi took out a cooldown talisman and activated it! In a faint glow, the dungeon cooldown time was reset to zero. The two entered the dungeon again. "Why did they go in again?" "What are they doing? Just two people entering the dungeon." "Even on Normal difficulty, two people aren’t enough, right?" "A junior cooldown talisman, that woman actually has such a high-level item. Looks like her background isn’t simple." "That’s something hard to buy even with money." Junior cooldown talismans weren’t easy to obtain. Lin Moyu had searched both the Imperial Exchange and University Exchange but couldn’t find any. This item was clearly quite precious. He had only seen one with Xia Xue before. He had just asked tentatively earlier, not expecting Ning Yiyi to actually have one. Like Xia Xue’s, it was a junior cooldown talisman with 10 uses. After 10 uses, it needed energy replenishment. Ning Yiyi’s talisman had 5 uses left. If they brought Jiang Taotao and the others, they could only run one more round. With just Ning Yiyi and Lin Moyu, they could run two more rounds. After discussion, they decided Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi would run the dungeon alone. Jiang Taotao, Duan Gao and Miao Yu’s presence didn’t make much difference anyway. As long as Lin Moyu was there, it was enough. After entering the dungeon, Ning Yiyi’s face beamed with a bright smile. Even the dungeon’s stench didn’t seem so bad anymore. "You promised to help me level up. I didn’t expect it to happen so soon." Lin Moyu smiled, "I keep my promises." Ning Yiyi smiled even more brightly, "Then you have to keep taking me in the future, okay? Don’t just do it once and stop." "Alright." Lin Moyu agreed. Ten skeleton warriors had already appeared and were running down the passage. With the previous experience, Lin Moyu didn’t waste time fighting monsters one by one. He directly pulled the few monsters in the passage along as they ran. Skeleton warriors in front, mermaid elite warriors behind, they advanced along the passage. Five minutes later, the skeleton warriors dragged over 30 mermaid elite warriors to the end of the passage, arriving at the Mermaid Queen’s pet snake’s cave. The skeleton warriors leapt down. The monsters behind also jumped down after them. After they all jumped down, Lin Moyu and Ning Yiyi appeared at the end of the passage. The giant python, an elite boss, was frantically chasing the skeleton warriors along with the elite warriors. Skill: Slow Curse. With a flash of red light, shackle symbols appeared above all the monsters’ heads. Their speed immediately slowed. At this moment, the skeleton warriors turned to counterattack. Over a dozen skeleton warriors simultaneously attacked one elite warrior. The unfortunate mermaid elite warrior was almost instantly killed. Skill: Corpse Explosion! Boom! An explosion suddenly rang out. The cave shook violently, countless rocks falling. Almost all the mermaid elite warriors were killed instantly. [Killed Level 21 Mermaid Elite Warrior, Experience +25000] [Obtained Fish Skin x6] [Killed Level 21 Mermaid Elite Warrior, Experience +25000] [Obtained Fish Skin x10] A series of notifications appeared. Over 30 mermaid elite warriors brought each of them over 700,000 experience. Their experience rapidly increased. The giant python hadn’t reacted to what happened yet. It was heavily injured by the Corpse Explosions. Lin Moyu continuously activated skills, triggering Corpse Explosion 10 times in 3 seconds. The giant python fell with a miserable cry. [Killed Level 23 Mermaid Queen’s Pet Snake, Experience +125000] [Obtained Silver-grade armor: Snake Skin Light Armor] [Obtained Mid-grade Monster Crystal Core] Last time, clearing monsters one by one to this point took over half an hour. This time, it only took 5 minutes. Several times faster. "So amazing!" Ning Yiyi’s eyes curved into crescents, looking very pretty. Lin Moyu was slightly dazed, then said softly, "Let’s go." The two jumped into the cave and continued forward. They soon arrived outside the Mermaid Queen’s palace. Many mermaid elite soldiers were patrolling outside the palace. The skeleton warriors quickly ran over. Soon, after several violent explosions, the two gained another large amount of experience and materials. Ning Yiyi began glowing white. "Hehe, I leveled up!" "Finally level 20." Ning Yiyi stretched lazily, letting out a sigh. When Lin Moyu first met Ning Yiyi, she was already level 19. At that time, Lin Moyu was only level 10. After these days, Ning Yiyi was still only level 19. Lin Moyu realized how lazy this girl was at leveling. Probably the type who wouldn’t move if she didn’t have to. Azure light poured down as the Mermaid Queen’s palace opened again. The beautiful and noble Mermaid Queen walked out of the palace. With the previous experience, Ning Yiyi quickly ducked behind Lin Moyu. "I won’t be charmed if I don’t look at her, right?" With Lin Moyu as a shield, she indeed wasn’t charmed. Seeing all her soldiers dead, the Mermaid Queen angrily let out a scream. This time Lin Moyu was experienced and prepared. The skeleton warriors retreated, carrying the mermaid elite soldiers’ corpses. The corpses weren’t blown away by the air currents from the scream. After the scream faded, the skeleton warriors ran back with the corpses. Lin Moyu acted at the same time. Skill: Slow Curse! Under the crimson shackles, the Mermaid Queen’s speed immediately slowed. The skeleton warriors ran back to the Mermaid Queen carrying over a dozen corpses. Skill: Corpse Explosion! An old trick without novelty, but very effective. Moreover, this dungeon did have aspects Lin Moyu could exploit. Who told her to have so many enhanced elite monsters in front of the palace? Dead monsters’ corpses in dungeons only existed for a limited time. About two minutes. The Mermaid Queen happened to rush out in this short time. If she had come out later, Lin Moyu wouldn’t have been able to use these corpses. Corpse Explosion’s attack power was based on the corpse’s max HP. After talent enhancement, the damage became 300% of the corpse’s max HP. A full 3 times damage. As a dungeon boss, the Mermaid Queen’s HP was only 20-30 times that of enhanced elite monsters. In a series of explosions, the Mermaid Queen fell with a wail. She didn’t even have a chance to use skills, almost instantly killed.

The speed was astonishing. The efficiency was terrifying. Ning Yiyi clapped excitedly on the side, "Quick quick quick, let’s do it again!" "Let’s get all three Mermaid’s Tears!"
