With the class change to Shield Guardian and maxed-out defense, I can maintain infinite health.

......

A fierce wind, mixed with sand and dust, howled overhead.

A place like the eye of a dark storm.

Chen Ming and his group appeared on a small hillside.

All around was a vast, flat wasteland.

And within it lies a chilling scene.

Small, raised mounds of earth stand on the wasteland.

At first glance, they were all rows of erected tombstones!

In the distance, three enormous caves are faintly visible.

"This feels like a big graveyard."

Sun Yang looked at the rows of tombstones in the distance and clicked his tongue twice.

"The strange beasts we need to challenge... they're not some kind of corpse or something, are they?"

Imagine a group of zombies crawling out from under the tombstones and launching a group attack on them.

Sun Yang felt a chill run down his spine.

At this moment, Lin Wei was intently checking the information in the copy.

"broken."

When you see the conditions for passing the challenge.

She sighed; the anxiety that had been hanging over her finally died completely.

The three-in-one challenge dungeon has truly become a mini-beast horde!

"It's definitely a bit bad."

Chen Ming was also checking the dungeon's completion requirements at that moment, and then added a comment.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wei nearly stumbled.

What does it mean that you're broken too?

So you weren't sure either, and you were betting that the dungeon wouldn't have a beast horde challenge?

However, Chen Ming's next words silenced Lin Wei.

"This mysterious dungeon has no clear conditions, which makes it quite difficult."

The Mysterious Dungeon is a rather special type of dungeon.

It might be some strange challenge or treasure hunt.

However, the player needs to discover certain specific conditions within the dungeon before they can complete the change.

Generally, there will be some hints in the conditions for clearing the mystery dungeon.

"No conditions for passing the level" means there are no prompts.

Blank.

In this situation, finding the conditions for clearing the mysterious dungeon becomes quite difficult.

If you can't find it, you'll have to leave the instance automatically after the time limit is reached.

"72 hours, three days..."

Chen Ming was unwilling to stay in this godforsaken place for three days.

Moreover, there's a selection process for Yunhai City tomorrow.

"Let's hurry up and complete the challenge and treasure hunt."

Chen Ming made a decision and then went down the slope to check.

Qin Zhixue followed him.

"These tombstones..."

Chen Ming arrived at a tombstone.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that these tombstones were pieced together from individual pale bones.

Below, instead of a mound of earth where the burial took place, a strange flower was growing.

The roots are bent, and the flowers face the ground.

Below are two slender leaves that climb upwards, their tips resting on the drooping flowers.

At the center of the flower hangs a teardrop-shaped crystal.

It looks like...

A personified flower is weeping with its face covered.

【Tears of Heartbreak】: A spiritual and strength-attribute substance!

"Spirit and attributes?"

Chen Ming was somewhat surprised.

These teardrop-shaped crystals are actually rare resources of both spiritual and physical attributes!

These rare resources are much more valuable than normal resources.

Chen Ming quickly raised his head and looked at the other tombstones.

as predicted.

Beneath each tombstone, a single flower grows.

He scanned the area with his mental energy.

【Tears of Heartbreak】: A spiritual and restorative substance!

【Tears of Heartbreak】: A spirit-type, water-elemental restorative substance!

【Tears of Heartbreak】: A spiritual substance with dark elemental power attributes!

【Tears of Heartbreak】: A spiritual substance with the power attribute of light!

【...】

So many, all of them!

Chen Ming was thrilled.

This fusion dungeon certainly didn't disappoint him.

At a glance, there are nearly a hundred tombstones, each bearing the marks of a tragic loss!

Spiritual and attribute-based resources are already precious, yet there are so many of them.

That alone makes the challenge of this fusion dungeon worthwhile.

Chen Ming looked down at the flowers.

"Are the conditions for passing this treasure hunt really that simple?"

As he spoke, he reached out and plucked the Tear of Sorrow from the flower.

next moment--

The flower, which had lost its tears of sorrow, suddenly raised its head.

hum!

A dazzling ripple spread out before my eyes, then vanished in an instant.

[Mental Strength -1!]

"Okay, it's a little bit not so simple."

Chen Ming looked at Qin Zhixue standing to the side.

She also suffered the mental damage from that earlier.

He was covering his brow, and his figure was swaying slightly.

Because the damage has no effect on oneself.

Therefore, Chen Ming couldn't actually sense the strength of the attack.

However, judging from Qin Zhixue's appearance, the mental attack from removing the Tear of Sorrow must be quite strong.

"Are you alright?"

Chen Ming stepped forward and helped Qin Zhixue up.

After a while, Qin Zhixue returned to normal.

She shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

"This mental attack is rather strange; it can disrupt one's thinking and has a strong control effect."

As she spoke, Qin Zhixue looked at Chen Ming.

Curious, I asked, "Didn't you feel it?"

Chen Ming opened his mouth, wanting to say something...

I am immune.

However, this feels a bit too Versailles.

"Waaah—"

Just then.

A low, mournful wail echoed across the wasteland.

Chen Ming looked in the direction of the sound.

From the three huge caves in the distance, three green figures rushed out and quickly approached.

They varied in shape, with exposed, pale skeletons on the outside and a ghostly green flame inside.

It only took a minute.

Three figures resembling skeletal ghosts arrived at the cemetery.

Bone Demon

[Level: lv.8]

[Ability: Necromancer Rebirth]

[Introduction: The spirits of the dead in the netherworld are resurrected by the flames of their souls!]

"This should be a monster from the challenge dungeon."

Chen Ming looked at the three bone demons.

Two level 8, one level 9.

At this moment, the three bone demons stopped near the graveyard.

They glanced at Chen Ming from afar, and then...

They went directly towards the tombstones.

One of them, a bone demon whose skeleton resembled that of a dog, opened its huge mouth and swallowed the flower with the sorrowful tears hanging from the tombstone.

"Huh?! You dare steal my resources!"

Chen Ming realized what was happening and immediately became furious.

He flashed forward and rushed out, his body igniting with a wave of azure flames.

It has been less than an hour since the Red-Armored Turtle was killed.

Therefore, Chen Ming instantly entered a state of 6200% attack damage amplification.

His figure resembled a rampaging fireball, charging forward.

A flash of light appeared amidst the flames, then disappeared in an instant.

puff--

It instantly cleaved an 8th-level Bone Demon in two!
