As I walked down the corridor, a sickening stench of blood hit me.
I couldn't help but cover my nose.
The long, thousand-meter corridor had all its iron doors open, revealing empty spaces.
All the dire wolves had been eliminated, leaving no trace.
At the end of the corridor, a massive mine pit appeared.
The pit's diameter exceeded a thousand meters, plunging into an unseen, pitch-black abyss.
A pathway spiraled downwards, teeming with Goblin-type monsters.
They wore armor and wielded large swords.
In pairs, they patrolled back and forth along the passage.
【Goblin Elite Warrior (Enhanced Elite Monster)】
【Level: 15】
【Strength: 900】
【Agility: 800】
【Spirit: 400】
【Constitution: 900】
Their stats were significantly lower than the leader's, none exceeding a thousand. I didn't even bother giving them a second thought.
With a wave of my hand, the Skeleton Army charged into the mine pit.
Faced with a tidal wave of Skeleton Warriors, these Enhanced Elite Monsters were powerless to resist. One after another, they fell.
【Killed Level 15 Goblin Elite Warrior, Experience +4500】
【Obtained Beast Bone * 6】
One message after another popped up.
I issued the command for free combat, quickly clearing out the monsters within the mine pit.
While the Enhanced Elite Monsters possessed impressive strength, their experience and material drops were abundant.
They were considered high-quality monsters.
Their cost-effectiveness far surpassed that of ordinary monsters in the outside world.
"If I solo a Hell difficulty dungeon in the future, I should earn even more experience."
If anyone knew my thoughts, they'd probably want to spit on me.
Soloing a Hell difficulty dungeon was something that no one had ever dared to do in the entire history of humankind.
Some legendary figures who soloed Nightmare difficulty dungeons had been immortalized in history.
Soloing a Hell difficulty dungeon was simply a joke.
Sure, some people had tried, but they all died and never returned.
I continued down the passageway, clearing all the monsters along the way.
By the time I reached the bottom of the mine pit, my experience had reached 99%.
I was only one step away from leveling up.
At this point, the only thing left in the entire dungeon was the final Boss.
"As long as I take it down, I should be able to hit level 12."
It had only been a little over an hour since I entered the dungeon, and I had already gained more than a level.
The efficiency exceeded expectations.
If I just kept farming Nightmare difficulty dungeons for a few rounds, reaching level 16 wouldn't be a problem, and even reaching level 18 or 19 wouldn't be a difficult task.
Once I reached the required level, getting into the Xiajing Academy would be a sure thing.
"Sister, we'll be reunited soon."
Thinking of Lin Mo Han, a rare smile appeared on my face.
The mine dungeon's Great Boss sat in the center of the mine, its enormous mouth constantly inhaling and exhaling air.
Its breathing sounded like thunder, reverberating through the empty mine.
Each breath created a gust of wind.
I was almost blown off my feet.
This Great Boss was oblivious to what was happening in the outside world.
It was in a state similar to a deep meditation or trance.
However, it was simply asleep.
The Detect skill swept over it like a gentle breeze.
【Goblin King (Leader-level Monster)】
【Level: 16】
【Strength: 3000】
【Agility: 1500】
【Spirit: 1500】
【Constitution: 3000】
【Skills: Flame Blast, Sweep, Knockback】
Its stats weren't much different from the Mine Wolf King, its strength and constitution were slightly higher.
I even felt that my Skeleton Warriors could go toe-to-toe with it.
The Detect skill startled it awake, and it slowly opened its eyes, gazing at me.
With a roar, it leaped into the air.
Wielding a giant sword, it swung it down towards me.
The sword, carrying a terrifying air pressure, descended upon me. I didn't dodge or evade.
My eyes remained calm, even a hint of mockery in them.
The seemingly terrifying attack abruptly stopped when it was ten centimeters away from me.
It was as if an invisible force prevented the sword from moving forward even an inch.
Damage Transfer.
All attacks I receive would be borne by my summoned creatures.
I suddenly frowned.
I felt that the Skeleton Warriors had been injured.
The Soul Fires of all Skeleton Warriors flickered violently, their radiance dimmed by a third.
Fine cracks appeared simultaneously on their bones.
"How is this possible?"
I was taken aback, feeling a bit confused.
I rarely surprised, even when the giant sword was charging towards me, I remained calm, not even blinking.
Last night, I killed three people for the first time, and I was still calm.
In my eyes, killing people and killing monsters were no different.
It wasn't that I was cold-blooded.
But my sister, Lin Mo Han, once told me to remain calm no matter what.
When faced with danger, only calmness could help us survive.
I quickly retreated, while the Skeleton Warriors charged towards the Goblin King, shielding me at the same time.
Frenzied Strike!
The Skeleton Warriors unleashed their skills, their powerful attacks striking the Goblin King, causing massive damage.
For a moment, the Goblin King's skin was torn open, revealing flesh.
Naturally, the Goblin King shifted its target, launching attacks at the Skeleton Warriors.
I retreated to the side, pondering what had just happened.
The Damage Transfer effect transferred the damage I received to my summoned creatures.
All summoned creatures would share the damage evenly.
Then it dawned on me.
The reason why the Skeleton Warriors were injured simultaneously, and the injuries were substantial, was primarily because my own attributes were too weak.
With a mere 120 Constitution, my defense was pathetic.
Against a Goblin King with 3000 Strength, the amount of damage I received would be enormous.
The transferred damage was based on my own stats, disregarding the defensive power of the Skeleton Warriors.
All that damage was transferred to the Skeleton Warriors, which was why they were injured.
If that blow had landed on the Skeleton Warriors directly, the injuries they received would have been much, much lighter.
"So I am the only weakness."
"It seems I need to focus on building up my Constitution."
"The stronger my defense, the stronger my Summoned Army will be."
