Chapter 136 Exterminate the Skeleton Monster

The first group of five archers fired simultaneously, instantly embedding five arrows in the body of a skeleton monster. Its health bar was then depleted, and its skeleton scattered across the ground.

The five archers drew their bows, ready to unleash another barrage of fire, when they discovered that several other skeletons surrounding the dead skeleton monster were now running towards them. The five archers turned pale with fright. Two gold-level summoned creatures immediately leaped out and swiftly dispatched them.

It was a false alarm, and the five archers, now emboldened, didn't hesitate to draw their bows and kill another skeleton monster, regardless of whether it would attract more monsters. Their teamwork improved rapidly, and their monster-killing speed increased.

This was a real problem for Dao Yiyoudao. His two teammates focused their fire on a single monster, only managing to reduce its health by half. As soon as their attacks hit the skeleton, the monster would immediately run towards the two archers, forcing Dao Yiyoudao to chase after it and finish it off. Even that wasn't the worst of it, because the monsters were clustered together, and several nearby skeletons also ran towards the two archers, making it impossible for Dao Yiyoudao to protect them. He had to leave the task to Jiang Hao alone.

Lucky Man jumped out and said to Jiang Hao, "Boss, boss, I have a way to speed up the monster-killing process."

Jiang Hao also noticed the problem. The second group couldn't increase their speed at all, and in the end, it was still entirely up to him.

"What's your idea? Tell me."

“Besides you and the thief with a code of honor, we can split into seven teams to fight the monster. Each team can have an archer who can shoot an arrow from a distance, and the monster will definitely come running. The other four members of the team can just stand in the way and each hit the monster once, and we can kill it instantly.”

"Yes, how come I didn't think of that?"

Jiang Hao looked at Luck Manman with admiration in his eyes. After stopping a few archers, Jiang Hao repeated Luck Manman's idea. The other mages, warriors, assassins, and priests all jumped up excitedly.

"How about we practice it once first?"

Luck was on full display, and he immediately reorganized the 35 players into 7 five-person squads based on their class. Luck had the archers stand in a fan shape, with the other teammates standing in front of them.

"Shoot an arrow first to lure a monster over."

Full of luck, he said to Jiang Hao, "Big brother, please help me out."

Once everything was arranged, the archer shot a skeleton monster at close range, and it immediately ran towards the archer. The other four teammates drew their greatswords, staffs, and daggers, ready for battle. When the monster got close, the four teammates attacked simultaneously, their greatswords, staffs, and daggers landing on the monster at the same time.

Its health bar was emptied, and its skeleton was scattered all over the ground.

Everyone burst into laughter at the sight. Those other than archers, in particular, jumped for joy at the thought of participating in the legion's monster-clearing activities.

In this way, Jiang Hao's two summoned creatures only need to stop the monsters that are unintentionally attracted.

With dozens of teammates suddenly available to help, Jiang Hao, along with the bandits and the seven archers, found their situation much easier. Everyone was happy.

The teams coordinated more and more skillfully, and eventually, the archers switched to a continuous monster-luring mode. The monster-killing speed increased rapidly, and experience points began to steadily grow. Although the drop rate of equipment from skeleton monsters was extremely low, the combined efforts of everyone resulted in dozens of monsters being killed per second. Pieces of equipment automatically fell into Jiang Hao's inventory.

Led by Jiang Hao, the group began to advance into the canyon. An hour later, the entire canyon was completely cleared of skeleton monsters. At the very back of the canyon, the large group of Japanese players that had been visible earlier were now nowhere to be seen. Jiang Hao guessed that those players had likely been sent back to their lairs by the skeleton monsters.

That would save us a lot of trouble.

Jiang Hao told everyone to take a break. He opened his backpack and, lo and behold, found dozens of pieces of equipment, all of silver grade. Jiang Hao didn't take a single piece; instead, he used his good fortune to distribute them among the legion members. Aside from those with a code of honor, what player had ever seen silver-grade equipment before? They all grinned from ear to ear.

"My god, this boss is so generous! No exaggeration, he's more generous than any other guild leader I've ever met."

"Following the Hell boss is still the best option. In just a short while, I've already earned a piece of silver-level equipment."

"Thank you, Dad. Thank you so much, Dad. Your son kowtows to you here."

The level 10 archer, who was now level 16, suddenly knelt down on both knees with a thud and actually kowtowed to Jiang Hao.

"Damn it, stop doing this! You're trying to shorten my lifespan!"

The guy chuckled and stood up, equipping the silver-grade bow that luck had bestowed upon him. Jiang Hao watched as he stroked the bow, which emitted a bluish-green glow, his eyes filled with delight. Jiang Hao suddenly realized that this battlefield of slaughter was actually quite interesting.

On the battlefield, 37 players annihilated a monster horde of 100,000 for the first time. This sense of accomplishment made everyone in the legion see the bright future of following the Lord of Hell.

"Boss, what's our next move? Should we keep hunting monsters?"

Some players are clearly already caught up in the hype.

"We must continue to kill monsters. But our enemies are not only monsters."

Everyone understood Jiang Hao's words. Along the way, they encountered many Japanese players who, relying on their numerical advantage, were constantly attacking the Chinese players.

"I don't know why there are so many Japanese players in this area. Shouldn't there be more players from our country?"

Some people have raised this question.

"I'm wondering if it's possible that none of the players from our northern region have come in? So this place has been taken over by the Japanese?"

Han Bing said this, clearly aware of the bug where players in the Northern region were killed by skeleton monsters upon entering the game. Jiang Hao knew this was because the skeleton army had occupied the Northern Ice Plains. However, the skeleton army had now retreated; he wondered if players in the Northern region would be able to log in normally. Even if they could enter the battlefield now, their low levels and lack of equipment would likely prevent them from gaining any advantage.

"Dad, Dad, my guild members messaged me saying they're surrounded by Japanese players."

The archer, who had just reached level 16, suddenly exclaimed, "My guild members said they're just 2 kilometers south of the canyon."
