Chapter 199: Dungeon Upgrade, Hell Difficulty Activated

After dealing with the two Fire Elementals, Lin Moyu wanted to recall the skeleton warriors.

When not in battle, there was no need for them to take damage needlessly outside.

Suddenly he frowned slightly - he couldn't recall them.

The skeleton warriors were engulfed in raging flames, constantly taking damage.

The skeleton warriors were always in combat state, unable to be recalled to the summoning space.

Fortunately the damage wasn't high, not greatly affecting the skeleton warriors.

To rely solely on fire elements to burn the skeleton warriors to death would probably take a very long time, maybe not even enough in 10 hours.

So he simply didn't recall them, letting the skeleton warriors charge forward to clear the way for him.

16 skeleton warriors ran forward in a fan formation.

The skeleton warriors soon encountered monsters in the dungeon.

Lin Moyu gave them orders to attack any monsters they encountered.

Level 32 dungeon monsters, as long as they had no control skills, couldn't even beat a skeleton warrior one-on-one.

Let alone being surrounded, they could be dealt with in just a few moves.

The flame-engulfed skeleton warriors explored the map while fighting monsters.

Soon, the general situation of the dungeon was scouted out.

Lin Moyu found himself in a lava cave.

Flames surrounded everything - the surroundings, ceiling, and ground.

There were four entrances around the lava cave.

Two Fire Elementals guarded each entrance.

The entrances looked identical, impossible to judge which was the correct path.

This would be a troublesome problem for others, needing to try each one.

But for Lin Moyu, it was too simple.

The 16 skeletons split into four groups of 4, running into different entrances.

The situation inside the caves was quickly grasped.

There were many monsters inside, no longer just Fire Elementals.

As messages kept coming, Lin Moyu quickly followed.

Having taken the Junior Mysterious Potion, his attributes increased by 200, making him faster than before.

Entering the cave, he soon saw a monster corpse.

Lin Moyu's eyes showed joy.

Not all monsters here were made of fire elements.

Some had physical bodies.

Though most of their life force dissipated after death, corpses still remained.

With corpses, things became easier.

Lin Moyu gave the order, and the skeleton warriors stopped killing monsters, instead starting to lure them again.

The skeleton warriors ran quickly through the lava caves, attracting monsters out.

Then they began leading the monsters towards Lin Moyu's location.

Through the map in his mind, Lin Moyu could see that at least a hundred monsters were lured this time.

Each monster provided considerable experience. His experience could rise another chunk.

Now he wasn't far from level 28. A few more waves like this, and he could level up.

As cracking sounds reached his ears, the skeleton warriors ran back.

Red light flashed in Lin Moyu's hand.

Skill: Slow Curse!

The curse's red overpowered the flames' red.

The lured monsters instantly went into slow motion.

At this moment, the skeleton warriors turned and unleashed their skills.

Skill: Berserk Strike!

As the skills landed, the monsters in front fell with miserable cries.

[Killed]

The next second, Lin Moyu raised his palm.

Skill: Corpse Explosion!

Violent explosions instantly spread in all directions.

Large numbers of monsters were killed by the blast.

The entire dungeon shook, lava spraying and landing on the ground.

The flames on the ground burned even more fiercely.

The dungeon kept shaking, as if Lin Moyu's actions had triggered some mechanism.

The remaining pursuing monsters let out shrieks, their auras rapidly rising.

Lin Moyu couldn't care about that now.

He activated skills one after another.

In the blink of an eye, he detonated large numbers of corpses.

Booming sounds rang out like a symphony.

Monsters died in swathes.

But Lin Moyu sensed something was wrong.

Why was the monsters' strength increasing?

Though the monsters' life force dissipated greatly after death due to fire elements,

The skill's 600% explosion boost was still enough to kill same-level monsters.

It was indeed so at first.

But now, why couldn't one explosion kill them, needing two?

Strange as it was, he didn't stop.

Corpse Explosion continued.

Later on, it took three or four explosions to kill same-level monsters.

It seemed their resistance to Corpse Explosion was rapidly increasing.

The dungeon's shaking became more and more violent, like an earthquake.

Lava kept spraying out, and fire elements grew denser.

Outside the dungeon, flames suddenly shot out of the entrance vortex, startling nearby career holders.

"What's happening!"

"Why is it suddenly spewing fire?"

"Hey, isn't this the [Fire God Palace] dungeon?"

"[Fire God Palace] is one of the five elemental dungeons. They say with luck you can get elemental fragments. Combining five elemental fragments can bring unimaginable benefits."

"Don't joke around, that's just a legend. No one's ever obtained them."

"Heavens, come look quickly! Why does [Fire God Palace] suddenly have a Hell difficulty?"

This caused an uproar throughout the Dungeon Hall.

The [Fire God Palace] dungeon had existed here for who knows how many years.

It always only had Normal and Nightmare difficulties.

Now a third difficulty suddenly appeared... Hell difficulty!

Shu Han's eyes held a brilliant smile, "I knew you could do it."

As the master of the Dungeon Hall, Ning Tairan had supreme authority here.

He knew everything about the Dungeon Hall inside out.

He was the first to know when [Fire God Palace] showed abnormal changes.

Checking, he found Lin Moyu was inside the dungeon.

"I didn't expect he'd actually do it."

"Could elemental fragments really drop? Is the legend true?"

Ning Tairan naturally also knew about the elemental fragment legend, but he knew more than others.

To obtain elemental fragments, one first had to activate the dungeon's Hell mode.

Elemental fragments only dropped in Hell mode, and even then it depended on luck.

To activate Hell mode, one needed to clear large numbers of dungeon monsters in a short time, fundamentally affecting the dungeon.

Only this way could Hell difficulty be activated.

Ning Tairan of course knew all these conditions.

In this world, when it came to understanding various dungeons, if he claimed second place, no one would dare claim first.

Not even Bai Yiyuan!

Not just [Fire God Palace], many dungeons worked this way.

Ning Tairan had tried in his youth but failed.

Later he organized the most elite team to try, but still failed.

[Fire God Palace] required double support, lacking one DPS, greatly reducing the team's attack power.

Unable to activate Hell mode, it was naturally impossible to obtain elemental fragments.

Unexpectedly, Lin Moyu activated Hell mode after a few waves of monster explosions.

The Nightmare difficulty dungeon he was in instantly upgraded to Hell difficulty.

Fire elements were boiling, monsters were strengthening, and the continuous burning of flames rapidly intensified.

The flames on the skeleton warriors burned more and more fiercely.

The skeleton warriors had become walking pillars of fire.

The damage they took also grew stronger.

Originally it would take at least 10 hours to burn a skeleton warrior to death. Now it would take at most 3 hours.

Lin Moyu didn't know the dungeon had become Hell difficulty.

He only knew the damage increased and monsters became tougher.

If he didn't hurry, the skeleton warriors would really be burned to death.

Go!

His mind made up, he quickly ran towards the depths of the dungeon.
