…

The defense of the Skeletal Warriors was not high. As long as one was not hit by their [Charge] skill, there was no problem.

Moreover, these monsters were afraid of the Fire of Death.

When Small Artillery hits them, it dealt an additional 50% damage.

Thus, it could be seen.

The single attack damage of Small Artillery was 1,600 points.

However, Venom only dealt 1,000 points of damage.

The difference in damage between the two sides was huge.

As for the Skeletal Warriors, they could only keep half of their health after two rounds of rain of arrows.

In addition, their speed was not high, so they were killed before they could get close to Lorne and the others.

In less than half a minute, Lorne stepped deeper into the cave on a pile of shattered bones.

This underground cave was very dark and long, as if there was no end to it. Fortunately, Lorne had so many pets beside him, so he was not afraid of such a game environment.

He kept walking forward.

Fifteen minutes later, Lorne noticed the change in the cave.

It seemed that the deeper he went, the wider the cave became.

At first, the range was only about three meters, but now, it was six to seven meters wide.

Moreover, there were blue rocks embedded in the surroundings. Occasionally, there would be a special totem mark engraved on them.

From these details, it was not difficult to tell that the master of this cave was not simple.

Lorne continued walking with his pets until he finally arrived at a huge palace.

This was a transfer station.

In front of the palace, three huge intersections appeared.

Without a doubt, two of the three entrances were very dangerous. Only one was relatively safe.

This was a test of luck.

But Lorne was in no hurry to choose.

Standing in front of the palace, he took out the Dragon Soul Compass from his bag.

Then, he checked the direction in which the compass needle was swaying.

Finally, he could clearly see that the leftmost intersection had the most powerful reaction.

Clearly, that was the true goal.

“Let’s go!”

Lorne let Rimuru lead the way, then led the rest of the pets into the leftmost cave.

When he walked down this path, the monsters he encountered increased in number, and there were often elite or even Bronze monsters among them.

To the current players, this might be a very difficult obstacle.

But that posed no threat to Lorne.

As this continued, after walking for half an hour, he no longer knew where he was.

But at that moment, he finally saw a faint light ahead.

It was a huge palace!

In the palace, there was a sinister netherworld fire. A huge skeleton projection appeared on the wall. It seemed to be performing a mysterious and strange ritual.

Lorne stepped forward.

When he arrived at the entrance of the palace, his eyes widened.

Just ahead, Lorne saw a shocking dragon skeleton in the hall. Countless skeletons were scattered around. They were all prostrating on the ground, as if in a prayer ritual.

There was also a circle of skeleton mages around the dragon.

In each of their hands was a black magic book. Their scarlet eyes were obtaining relevant knowledge from the magic book. Then, black energy poured from the bottom of their feet into a huge magic circle on the ground.

In addition, above the dragon skeleton, a cloaked skeleton was opening its hands and casting strange magic.

It was a Lich – an existence stronger than the undead mage!

Undead mages were once humans who studied undead magic. In essence, they were living creatures.

However, it was different for the Lich.

Liches were already dead. For some reason, they had regained their life and awakened their own consciousness.

To be precise, they were ‘creatures’ that had been revived from dead corpses.

Because they were already dead, they had a more accurate grasp of the power of the undead, which also gave them greater strength.

As for the scene before him, it seemed to want to resurrect this thousand-year-old dragon…

Ding!

“Warning! You have been discovered by the powerful [Lich]. Battle has begun!”

As Lorne thought this, an alarm sounded.

The next moment, all the undead monsters in the hall looked over.

“Who is it! How dare you intrude into my territory!”

The Lich in the air waved its bone claws fiercely. Immediately, the skeletons on the ground received the order and roared at Lorne, charging at him.

There were hundreds of monsters!

They came from all directions, causing one’s scalp to turn numb.

Lorne quickly retreated, then commanded his pets to retreat as he attacked. Arrows covered the entire entrance of the palace.

Then, his archers fired the Fan Arrows, instantly raising the kill count to 10 stacks.

————

[Frenzied Shooting] (10 Stacks): +10% Critical Strike chance, +30% Attack Speed, +50% Critical Strike effect. (Duration: 20 seconds)

————

For “Small Artillery” and “Venom”, this skill could more than double their damage output.

Arrows shot from the hands of the two pets, killing the undead monsters.

…

Among the countless damage numbers, a terrifying one suddenly appeared.

Even Lorne jumped.

He only knew after checking the combat notification interface.

It turned out that Small Artillery had triggered the critical hit effect.

Due to its Attack reaching 1560 points, in addition to the 50% Critical Hit effect of [Frenzied Shooting] and the 50% additional damage caused by the “Fire of Death” effect, in the end, the critical damage was 4,450 points.

This was too shocking.

If other players saw this, they might post it online again and report him for cheating.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

With the 30% increase in attack speed, the frequency of the two pets firing arrows increased tremendously. Even if there were hundreds of skeletons in front of them, they could not withstand such a violent attack.

Almost every second, a few skeletons fell.

In less than two minutes, all the monsters at the scene had been killed.

But at that moment…

The Lich Boss in the sky swooped down and blocked the entrance of the palace. At the same time, it clawed with its bone claws and used its skill.
