“Indeed, the skeleton isn’t remarkable.”

After comparing the attributes of his own skeletons with those of the Jackalwolves, Zi Liyuan pondered how to further enhance the strength of his skeletons.

With the addition of a bone-strengthening skill, the power of the skeletons had increased significantly. Coupled with the boost from the attack aura, at least the skeletons’ attack power could break through the Jackalwolves’ defenses.

“I still need to get skills that enhance skeletons, but for now, they can only continue to serve as cannon fodder.”

Surrounded by a pile of skeletons, each Jackalwolf fought ferociously. Paired with their skills, two swings of their Wolf Fang Clubs could shatter a skeleton. Unfortunately, despite their bravery, the Jackalwolves lacked area-of-effect clearing abilities and could only recklessly fight one-on-one.

For the 256 skeletons, eliminating them all was not a task that could be completed in a short time.

Zi Liyuan obviously would not stand idly by and watch his skeletons get bullied, so he raised his hand and launched a deathly Shadow Arrow, directly bombarding the Jackalwolf warrior boss.

“-26206” damage numbers floated above the boss’s head, and its health bar plummeted by a quarter.

“Awooo!”

A furious wolf howl rang out as the boss, with blood-red eyes, locked his gaze on Zi Liyuan. Then, with a fierce leap, he soared into the sky, jumping towards Zi Liyuan’s location. The Wolf Fang Club was raised high above his head and wildly smashed down.

“You’re thinking too much.”

A bone spear carrying the breath of death was thrust towards the living target in the air.

” -13320″ damage numbers once again flew out from above the boss and left a fist-sized transparent hole in the boss’s body!

As the strongest single-target attack skill in the Necromancer skill tree, the Bone Spear not only dealt high damage but also had piercing properties. If it could leave a transparent hole in an enemy, it would also inflict a negative BUFF that reduced physical resistance by 25%.

The Bone Spear that pierced through the boss did not vanish but continued soaring into the sky until it reached the end of Zi Liyuan’s spirit perception, where it finally dispersed into a whiff of deathly essence and vanished.

Having been hit by the Bone Spear, the boss was knocked off balance and plummeted straight down from mid-air, crashing back into the pile of skeletons and even pinning a Skeleton Knight underneath.

“Jump, jump, jump, I love you jumping idiots who like to be living targets the most.”

After another countdown, the Shadow Arrow Rain skill was unleashed, and eleven Shadow Arrows shot out like raindrops towards the Jackalwolves.

“-2888,” “-2908,”…

A series of damage numbers fluttered above the elite mobs’ heads and the boss.

Compared to the Deathly Shadow Arrow and Bone Spear, it was nearly ten times less powerful. However, this was an area-of-effect damage skill, and the total damage it inflicted was actually higher than a single Deathly Shadow Arrow. Unfortunately, leveling up didn’t reduce the cooldown time. Fifteen seconds per shot was far too infrequent compared to those channeling-type area-of- effect damage skills.

The original Necromancer skill “Bone Teeth,” after leveling up, also became an area damage skill, but it dealt minimal damage, with only 10 + 20% magic damage from its base attribute.

With each level increase, it would add a flat 10 points of basic damage and 5% magic damage bonus, the number of Bone Teeth also increased by 1, and the abrasion increased by 10 points.

The cost-effectiveness of this skill was extremely low, so Zi Liyuan had never thought of wasting experience points to upgrade it.

As for poison skills, because the Nether Crystal Core could not mutate and enhance them, he also hadn’t upgraded them. Now the poison explosion skill, an area damage skill, was still at Level 1, with low magic damage, so naturally, he was too lazy to use it.

So, during the downtime waiting for other skills’ cooldowns, Zi Liyuan could only count down to cast Shadow Arrows.

Luckily, the damage from the Level 9 Shadow Arrow wasn’t low at all. With one shot, even a boss could lose more than 2500 health.

“I still lack offensive spells; I hope Dragon Academy won’t disappoint me.”

He had given up hoping for death-related skill books at the auction house; clearly, someone was hoarding them, or they were being controlled by the officials.

Recently, he and Shen Yurou visited the auction house quite frequently, searching for death-related skill books and equipment, but sadly, they never saw any. In contrast, there were some dark element skill books and items that did appear.

Now, Zi Liyuan could only place his hopes on Dragon Academy, hoping they had a large stockpile of death-related skill books and items; otherwise, his strength improvement would be hindered.

“Looks like, after the college entrance exam, I’ll need to handle Fan Yuer’s matter right away. The Necromancer’s Secret Realm she mentioned also requires a prompt visit.”

With the specialty skill books from the Secret Realm, and his relationship with Lady Luck being so solid, getting dozens or even hundreds of skill books relevant to him in one go shouldn’t be difficult, right?

He shook his head, clearing his numerous thoughts, and Zi Liyuan began to seriously eliminate the Jackalwolf squad.

In just a few minutes, the Jackalwolf squad, led by a rare mim-BOSS, all bit the dust.

“Huh, even the minor monsters are dropping equipment.

In previous dungeons he’d farmed, regardless of whether the monsters were normal, elite, or rare, they only dropped materials.

Unexpectedly, in a Second Order dungeon, even the minor monsters began dropping equipment.

Of the nine Jackalwolves, the eight rares each dropped one piece of green equipment along with numerous materials.

And the Jackalwolf captain, the little BOSS, dropped one piece of blue equipment, two pieces of green equipment, and a heap of materials.

“The dungeon’s restrictions have been lowered, but there’s a limit to the items dropped.”

He thoughtfully collected the drop items and then looked at the experience column, his expression finally turning grim.

[Killing Jackalwolf warrior, killing monsters 15 levels above, 100% experience bonus, gained +2000 experience.]

[Killing Jackalwolf champion, killing a rare BOSS 18 levels above, 300% experience bonus, gained +30,000 experience.]

“Fuck! The Second Order dungeon gives so little experience!?

A curse slipped out as Zi Liyuan stared at the system’s upgrade panel in disbelief.

When farming First Order dungeons, completing a Level 40 Hero dungeon, he would at least get 1.8 million experience, and that’s without any bonus for killing higher-level monsters.

Now, even after clearing a Second Order dungeon, he’d only get about 3 million more experience, at most.

“Damn it, now that it takes millions of experience to level up, and I’ve also got a Hell Demon Puppet that needs the same amount of experience to level up, it means my leveling experience is double that of others. To reach the pinnacle of Fourth Transfer, Level 100, when will that even happen?!

Agitated, he closed the attribute panel, and Zi Liyuan started to vent his fury on the monsters in the dungeon.

The cavalry composed of Skeleton Knights began their wild charge across the plains, while a huge Hell Demon Puppet closely followed behind, charging at any monster it saw with a few “smites” until it beat them to death.

Zi Liyuan followed, cleaning up the battlefield, not letting materials, equipment, or items go to waste, ravaging everything like a plague of locusts, until a blue-quality treasure chest appeared before his eyes, sparking a sliver of excitement.

“After so many dungeons, the drop rate for treasure chests is really low.” He sighed as he touched the chest and then placed his hand on the clasp. “I’ve heard that there’s a 0.01% chance that a chest will yield something one grade higher than itself. Little Blue, you’ve got to be conscientious now -“
