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

Bang... Bang!

Two newly revived level 8 and 9 bone demons collapsed to the ground with a thud, their black bone fragments scattering across the ground.

Chen Ming looked towards the Demon Cave and saw three new level 9 Bone Demons.

However, he didn't focus on the new bone demon, but instead looked back at the corpse of the previous level 8 bone demon.

The shattered bone fragments were still scattered on the grave, with eerie green flames clinging to them and slowly spreading along the seams between the bones.

It's like a carbuncle that's stuck to the bone.

The thought flashed through Chen Ming's mind, but his hands moved without the slightest hesitation.

He naturally wouldn't wait for the Bone Demon to resurrect, and decisively struck again.

With a sharp whistling sound as he wielded his longsword, he once again slashed at the bone demon that was reassembling.

boom......

-16 (Mental Damage)

[Defeat the Bone Demon (lv.8), experience +170!]

[Obtained: Bone Demon - Beast Core (lv.8)]

[Received: Spirit Rune*1]

The beast core and rune stones, glowing with an eerie light, appeared before my eyes.

"We've finally wiped them out completely."

"It's not easy to deal with these bone demons without some kind of mental attack ability."

Chen Ming gently shook the long sword, and the bone fragments on the blade were scattered.

After dealing with one of the bone demons, he had a better understanding of the situation.

I roughly understand how many mental attacks it would take to kill the Bone Demon, given the intensity of his mental attacks.

This Bone Demon Challenge only requires a small number of Bone Demons to achieve the effect of a beast horde.

Don't be fooled by the fact that only six have appeared so far.

Without mental attacks, it would probably take at least thirty or forty battles to completely kill these six bone demons.

Moreover, more and more bone demons will emerge from the demon cave, and the number of battles will gradually increase.

If an ordinary person were to take on this challenge, it would be difficult to handle.

The more they fight, the more there are; if it were someone else, they'd probably have a mental breakdown.

A cold wind swirled the withered grass of the graveyard beneath my feet, and the stench of decaying earth in the air suddenly intensified.

Not far away, three level 9 bone demons were already approaching.

Two of them were exceptionally large, measuring nearly seven or eight meters in length.

Without the slightest hesitation, they charged towards Chen Ming's location.

With each swing of the bone claws, a strong gust of wind was generated.

The other small bone demon, with a pointed head and a long tail, suddenly stopped as it approached the edge of the graveyard.

Its eerie green flames flickered twice within its body before it changed direction and rushed straight toward the nearest tombstone.

The target was clearly the tears of sorrow.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ming immediately understood their intention.

The Tears of Sorrow seem to be very attractive to the Bone Demon.

Just then, a sharp sword light suddenly attacked from the rear, striking the long-tailed bone demon with pinpoint accuracy, like an arrow piercing the air.

The Long-tailed Bone Demon's lunge at the Tear of Sorrow was interrupted, and it staggered backward.

Chen Ming looked back and saw Qin Zhixue slowly descending from mid-air, holding a long sword, with a pair of dazzling golden wings unfolding behind her.

Its entire body was enveloped in a layer of pure radiance.

"You focus on dealing with the Bone Demon. If any escapees try to steal resources, I'll stop them."

Qin Zhixue's voice was clear and steady.

Chen Ming nodded.

After thinking for a moment, he used his mental power to send a team message to Sun Yang and the others.

rear......

On the hillside.

Sun Yang was nervously observing the situation on the battlefield.

The next second, he received a message from Chen Ming through the team.

"Gathering resources?"

Sun Yang looked at the message sent by Chen Ming.

He was tasked with collecting the flowers in front of the tombstones.

And it specifically warned against picking the Tears of Sorrow.

All the tears of sorrow await his attention.

The number of bone demons will increase, and Chen Ming will not be able to pay attention to resources during the fight.

If the battle continues, these precious resources will be destroyed or devoured by the Bone Demon.

Not only would it result in a huge loss, but it might even prevent the successful completion of the treasure hunt's objectives.

"Understood, Brother Chen, leave it to me!"

A glint of excitement flashed in Sun Yang's eyes.

This time, he finally managed to make some difference.

Although this task was only logistical...

But it did work, didn't it?

Sun Yang ran down the hillside and immediately got to work.

Now, his task is...

Dig up the grave!

No, we need to mine resources!

the other side.

Qin Zhixue was fighting against the level 9 Long Tailb Demon.

Streaks of sword energy shot out from her hand.

The sound of sword energy slicing through the air was sharp and rapid, each strike landing precisely on the Long-Tailed Bone Demon.

Qin Zhixue's eyes sharpened, and with a flick of her wrist, the radiance surrounding her suddenly surged.

The next second, she leaped into the air, her longsword drawing a perfect arc in the air.

SS-rank skill - Angelic Judgment!

The moment the skill was activated, a beam of light shot out and locked onto the Long-Tailed Bone Demon.

at the same time.

In mid-air, energy surged wildly, and then a giant sword nearly ten meters in size materialized.

Qin Zhixue gave a soft shout and thrust her long sword down suddenly.

The giant sword above crashed down!

The surging sword energy instantly spread outwards from the sword's center, causing tangible energy fluctuations to condense on the ground wherever it passed.

The Long-tailed Bone Demon sensed danger and tried to escape.

However, its movements were extremely slow.

This is a skill that guarantees a hit!

boom!

The radiant greatsword slammed into the long-tailed bone demon.

click-

Finally, the sound of bone cracking rang out.

The Bone Demon's body shattered into several pieces.

Qin Zhixue landed gracefully and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

However, knowing that the Bone Demon would be resurrected, she did not let her guard down.

Then, she looked in Chen Ming's direction.

The next second, Qin Zhixue's expression changed.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a three-headed bone demon had suddenly appeared on Chen Ming's side.

The frequency of Bone Demons spawning in the Demon Cave is increasing!

Chen Ming, seemingly to deliberately avoid the battleground from the graveyard, actually headed towards the Demon Cave.

At this moment, he was very close to the three demon caves.

It can be said that Chen Ming is currently fighting right at the Bone Demon's spawn point.

At this moment, there were seven or eight bone demons besieging Chen Ming.

They were enormous and surrounded us from all sides.

They could no longer even make out Chen Ming's figure on the battlefield.

"Waaah—"

Just then.

A low, mournful wail echoed across the wasteland.

Three more enormous bone demons appeared in the demon cave.

One of them had already reached level 10!

When they stepped out of the demon's lair, they saw Chen Ming being besieged.

They immediately rushed forward and joined the encirclement.

"not good!"

Qin Zhixue's heart tightened.

If Chen Ming is kept at this rate, something bad will definitely happen!

With wings flapping behind her, she was about to help Chen Ming.

hum-

Just then, a buzzing sound, like the vibration of a weapon, rang out.

Qin Zhixue suddenly felt a wave of heat coming from her.

The next second, her movements suddenly froze.

boom!

Suddenly, a blazing fire rose from the center of the pile of bone demons that had surrounded Chen Ming.

Flames roared into the sky, like a volcanic eruption.

The pile of bone demons surrounding Chen Ming seemed to have stepped on a bomb, and suddenly exploded.

One by one, the enormous and terrifying bone demons were sent flying backward.
