They swept through with unstoppable force

Twenty skeletal warriors swept through the enemy with unstoppable force. It did not matter if the opponents were highly evolved elite monsters; they were quickly and mercilessly cut down. No one could withstand their onslaught for more than five seconds.

"The monsters in this dungeon are sparse," someone remarked.

Indeed, the enemies were sparse and scattered, so it was slow to gain experience. It would have been more satisfying to gather a horde and set off a corpse explosion to kill a large crowd. There was no need to summon more skeleton warriors as this would not increase efficiency.

Jiang Taotao never thought that a dungeon passage could be so effortless. Normally, she bore the brunt of the effort by standing at the front line, absorbing every attack, maintaining aggro, and protecting her teammates. Now all she had to do was follow and do nothing.

"Necromancers are pretty scary," she thought silently.

Duan Gao and Miao Yu shared her opinion. They entered the dungeon and found themselves in a winding, cave-like corridor. The humidity was oppressive and it smelled of rot mixed with the smell of fish. Ning Yiyi had been holding her nose ever since she entered the room.

After a long walk through the corridor, they reached its end, which revealed a huge cave. In front of them lay a fifty-meter deep abyss, in the middle of which a huge snake had coiled. The snake was at least thirty meters long and had a diameter of more than one meter. Its black scales, which shimmered like armor, reflected a metallic glow. Their arrival had already attracted the attention of the snake, whose huge eyes were fixed on them. When they jumped down, the snake's powerful attack was inevitable.

Magical discovery uncovered:

**[Mermaid Queen's House Serpent (Elite Boss)]**

**Level: 23**

**Strength: 3600**

**Skill: 5500**

**Spirit: 3000**

**Constitution: 5000**

**Skills: Whip, Death Spiral, Poison**

Despite its enormous stats, the term "pet" seemed almost comical. This snake had the highest attributes Lin Moyu had ever encountered. It surpassed even the Goblin King and was almost on a par with the Skeleton Warriors, even surpassing them in agility.

Jiang Taotao declared, "I will refuel her."

Lin Moyu shook his head: "No need"

While the group stayed put, the skeleton warriors jumped down to attack the snake. Even with only twenty Skeleton Warriors, Lin Moyu felt safe.

The snake lunged at her and its huge body threw several Skeleton Warriors aside. Using her whip skill, she sent more into the air. Half of the warriors were flung away by the initial impact. The snake moved with unexpected agility, dodging the skeletons' blows. But the skeletons' robust constitution ensured that they suffered hardly any damage.

Jiang Taotao asked worriedly: "It's too agile. What should we do?"

"Do not worry," Lin Moyu reassured her.

He cast a spell, a soft glow emanating from his hand as he pointed at the snake.

**Skill: Slow Curse**

A red glow enveloped the cave, accompanied by a low humming sound. A red shackle symbol appeared above the snake's head. Instantly, its speed halved. The skeletal warriors seized the opportunity and slashed mercilessly at the snake with their blades. Skills were activated and caused even greater damage. Blood sprayed, scales splintered and the roar of the snake filled the cave.

"Is that a curse?" Jiang Taotao looked at the red symbol.

Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes."

Necromancers were not only summoners, but also fearsome sorcerers. The snake, now deprived of its speed, had to deal with the relentless skeletons.

**Skill: Death Spiral**

The snake wrapped itself around several skeletal warriors and struck with terrible force. The bones creaked menacingly, but the warriors stood firm. They slashed at the snake with their swords without ceasing. The snake could take no more, let go and spat out poison. The cave filled with a disgusting stench.

The skeletal warriors were slightly damaged, but largely unimpressed. Their balanced features and lack of pain and fear made them almost perfect.

The snake's desperate struggles were in vain. After two minutes of relentless attacks, it fell to the ground with unwilling eyes.

**[You killed the Mermaid queen's snake, experience +50000]

**[Silver Armor: Snakeskin Armor Acquired]**

**Acquired [Medium Monster Core]**

Jiang Taotao's lips twitched in disbelief, "It's over?"

"Yes," Lin Moyu replied and jumped down. He landed gracefully and used the cave wall to support himself.

The others, who were still stunned, finally reacted. Ning Yiyi beamed, her trust in Lin Moyu had paid off.

"Do not dawdle, let us go," she urged, leaping down gracefully like a butterfly.

Jiang Taotao and the others quickly followed her and entered a new scene of azure splendor. Before them was the opulent palace of the Mermaid queen. The foul stench disappeared and was replaced by a subtle fragrance. The surroundings were immaculate and orderly. Guards patrolled the entrance, each a trio of warriors from the mermaid race, clad in armor and carrying a trident.

"1, 2, 3... Sixty patrols, a total of 180 warriors from the mermaid race," Ning Yiyi counted and was stunned by these numbers.

Jiang Taotao added, "And they all seem to be improved elite monsters."

Even fighting a single elite monster was a challenge, let alone three at once. Based on her experience, Jiang Taotao would usually lure them out one by one to ensure safety despite the effort.

Ning Yiyi turned to Lin Moyu, "So many monsters, what now?"

Lin Moyu, however, was satisfied. The more monsters, the better.

"Simple," he said as twenty Skeleton Warriors rushed forward.

Their sudden appearance attracted the attention of the merfolk warriors, who began to pursue the skeletons. Lin Moyu used detection magic on them.

**Merfolk Elite Guardian (Enhanced Elite Monster)]**

**Level: 22**

**Strength: 2200**

**Dexterity: 1400**

**Spirit: 1000**

**Constitution: 2400**

**Skill: Stun sweeper**

Since their attributes were clear, Lin Moyu felt reassured. The skeleton warriors lured all 180 merfolk guards together and then ran back to Lin Moyu with the monsters in tow.

Jiang Taotao's nerves were shattered. What was Lin Moyu up to?

The skeleton warriors stopped sixty meters away and used their skills. The merfolk guards countered with their Stun Sweep skill. The clash of abilities lit up the cave like fireworks. The Skeleton Warriors, who were far superior to the Sea People Guardians in their abilities, emerged victorious. A sea creature guardian fell.

"Cover your ears," Lin Moyu said to Ning Yiyi.

"Okay," she replied, while the others remained confused.

A thunderous explosion shook the cave, followed by several more.

**Skill: Corpse Explosion**

After a series of deafening explosions, silence fell. Jiang Taotao and the others were overwhelmed by the flood of testimonies.

"What...?"

"My God, what just happened?"

"How did he do that...?"

"What kind of ability is that? Such immense power."

All the Merfolk Guardians lay dead, bringing in a lot of experience and materials. For the first time, Jiang Taotao and her team experienced the rush of gaining an enormous amount of experience.

Excited and invigorated, they watched as the doors of the Mermaid Queen's Palace slowly opened while the echo of the explosions could still be heard.
