In a hidden valley dozens of kilometers away from Dragon Country Steel Fortress.
Two figures shrouded in black robes were standing quietly on a huge rock, looking at the majestic Fortress in the distance.
One of the figures was unusually tall and burly, and his exposed hands were white bone claws that shone with metallic luster.
He is a powerful Skeleton Warrior.
Another figure looked a little stooped, holding a staff made of human heads and vertebrae in his hand. In the skull at the top of the staff were two groups of green soul fire burning.
He is a lich.
"Kut, look, the death speed of those monsters seems to have become faster."
The lich made a hoarse and unpleasant voice, and the soul fire beat slightly, "It seems that those idiots from Dragon Country finally couldn't help but crawl out of their ridiculous turtle shells."
"Humph."
Skeleton Warrior, named Kut, made a dull nasal voice, "Just right. Let them kill more and use up more energy. When they are tired of killing, it will be time for us to harvest."
"Hey hey hey..."
The Lich let out a burst of creepy laughter, "I have to say, Master Lich King's plan is really perfect. Use these endless Abyss cannon fodder to wear down their will and physical strength. When they are exhausted, we will release those dozens of big guys..."
The lich's soul fire beat violently with excitement.
"When the time comes, this Steel Fortress that has stood for a hundred years will definitely be reduced to ruins in our hands! This contribution is enough for Master Lich King to reward us with the opportunity to step into King rank!"
"It's better to be careful, Vickers."
Kut's tone was as calm as ever, without any waves, "Master Lich King personally ordered yesterday to destroy Dragon Country's Fortress at all costs. We must not mess up the matter, otherwise, you know the outcome very well."
At the mention of Lich King, Lich Vickers's excited soul fire obviously subsided a bit, adding a touch of awe and fear.
"I understand. However, you worry too much. Although Kut. Dragon Country people are difficult to deal with, they are just a group of mortals after all. They are vulnerable to the wisdom of the great Abyss power and Lich King."
Vickers said confidently, "Don't worry, everything is going according to plan. I have made those lowly bugs spawn a new batch of cannon fodder. Let them kill for a while longer, and let them indulge in false victory for a while longer."
"When they have been killed until their hands and feet are weak and their spirits are in a trance, it is time for those dozens of world-class BOSS to appear!"
At this point, the two were silent for a while.
"Speaking of which, Kut, aren't you curious?" Vickers seemed a little bored and took the initiative to stir up the topic again, "Great Lord Lich King, why are you so obsessed with Dragon Country's broken Fortress?"
"Starfall Ruins is so big and strong, so there are many more difficult bones to crack than Dragon Country. Why do you have to fight with them?"
Kut was silent for a moment, and then replied in a voice without any emotion, "If you shouldn't ask, don't ask. It is our bounden duty to execute orders."
"Tch, it's really boring." Vickers curled his lips, even though he had no mouth, "I was just chatting casually. However, I did hear some rumors."
He lowered his voice, the fire of his soul shining with the light of gossip.
"It is said that Master Lich King sensed a projection of himself. Some time ago, he was killed by a Dragon Country human in a mysterious place."
"Oh?" Kut and Void's eyes seemed to turn to Vickers, "Is there such a thing?"
"It's absolutely true!" Vickers said emphatically, "It is said that the Dragon Country human being is also an incredible genius with huge potential. Master Lich King calculated that he has the possibility of becoming a god in the future, so he Attack Dragon Country's Fortress at all costs. In this case, even if the genius cannot be killed, Dragon Country's growth will slow down without this Fortress!"
Time passes slowly in this boring waiting and killing.
Two hours passed by in a blink of an eye.
City Wall Underneath, the battlefield that was once filled with monster corpses has now become much sparser.
The three hundred clones of Yang Yu are still like tireless machines, mechanically waving their long knives at the front of Defense Line.
Each Blade Draw swing can take away the lives of hundreds of monsters.
After two hours of non-stop hard training, the levels of Yang Yu's various buff skills have generally reached level 33 or 4.
And Blade Draw, his most frequently used attack skill, has soared to the terrifying level thirty-five!
The power of level 35 Blade Draw has undergone a qualitative change.
The damage is incredibly high.
Now, every clone of Yang Yu, with a casual hit of ordinary Blade Draw, can easily deal tens of billions of horrific damage!
Those ordinary monsters with levels around Level 100, in front of them, are no different from paper. They are cut one by one, clean and neat.
Even Elite-level and other Lords monsters can rarely resist his blow.
Such a terrifying monster spawning efficiency directly caused the number of monsters outside City Wall to plummet like a cliff.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer monsters and the oil and water are getting thinner and thinner, those Gold-rank professionals on City Wall who have been waiting for a long time can finally bear it no longer.
"Brothers! We can't wait any longer! If we wait any longer, we won't even be able to drink the soup!"
"That's right! Go ahead! While the great master has attracted most of the firepower, let's go down and pick up some leaks!"
"Wealth is found in danger! Killing one Elite Monster is enough for us to struggle for several days!"
After a while of clamoring, professional finally had the courage to jump off City Wall first.
With the first, there is the second, the third...
Soon, hundreds of Gold-rank professional, like tigers descending from the mountain, rushed into the battlefield howling, and began to carefully clean up the fish that escaped the net around the outside of the clone Defense Line.
The body of Yang Yu is still sitting cross-legged on City Wall, turning a blind eye to all this.
He did not stop these people's behavior.
Because, it's not necessary.
At his current speed of spawning monsters, the total of these professional is not enough for him.
What's more, his "War Cry" skills with levels up to more than 30 levels have already locked the hatred of all the surrounding monsters firmly on the three hundred clones.
If these Gold-rank professional go down, as long as you don't risk your life and provoke the group of monsters locked by the clones, it's basically safe.
Just take it as such and give them some benefits.
Yang Yu slowly opened his eyes and glanced at his status bar.
[Name: Li Cang(Yang Yu)]
[Level:62]
[Professioner: Primal Sword Master]
[...]
In two hours, I upgraded two levels.
If other people knew about this speed, they would probably be jealous on the spot.
You know, after reaching Gold-rank, the experience required for each level up is astronomical.
Ordinary Gold-rank professional, in a place like Starfall Ruins, if you work hard for a month, it is considered fast to level up.
As for Yang Yu, it only took two hours.
However, he slowly frowned.
Because, he could clearly feel that the improvement speed of his skill level had slowed down again.
The higher the skill level, the required Proficiency increases exponentially.
Just like the professional upgrade.
At the beginning, his skills could be upgraded in just a few seconds.
But now, with skill levels generally exceeding Level 30, this time has been extended to more than ten minutes, or even longer.
His "Millionfold Effort" talent, which can be called a bug, has gradually shown signs of fatigue due to this terrifying exponential growth.
"No, the efficiency is too low."
Yang Yu thought in his heart.
"Continue to use this method to improve your skill level. The price/performance ratio is too low. It's time to end this practice."
He made a decision.
Kill all the monsters here!
Then, go deeper into Starfall Ruins, look for new opportunities, and see if you can reunite with your sister Yang Yan.
However, just at the moment when he was about to issue the order to clear the area.
His eyes suddenly condensed, and his sharp gaze was cast towards the distant sky.
I saw a black horizon at the end of the dim sky, spreading towards the direction of Fortress at an extremely fast speed!
That's not a dark cloud.
But endless monsters!
The new wave Beast Tide is coming!
Moreover, whether it is from the scale or the aura emanating from it, this wave of Beast Tide is far more terrifying than the previous wave!
Among them, there were even dozens of auras that were very familiar to him, because he had killed more than one such monster before!
"World-class BOSS?"
Yang Yu's mouth slowly curved into a cold arc.
"It's just right. It saves me the trouble of looking for you."
