In that dark dungeon, hundreds of players were surrounding a colossal creature.
A colossal skeleton, towering in stature, stood in the center of the battlefield, like an unshakeable mountain.
Faced with the onslaught of attacks, it merely swayed its body slightly, and the sharp swords and blazing fireballs left shallow scratches on its surface, as if they were not even enough to tickle it.
This scene made all the players' hearts sink. They realized that this giant skeleton was worlds apart from the ordinary skeletons that had been easily crushed before.
Its strength has exceeded their imagination.
Just as everyone was filled with shock and horror, the giant skeleton suddenly moved, and a cold light seemed to flash in its empty eye sockets.
Immediately afterwards, it raised the spiked club in its hand, which was made of countless pieces of pale white bone. In an instant, a gale arose around it, and energy surged outwards!
"Get out of the way!"
The moment he sensed the immense energy, Xiao Jin's pupils constricted sharply, and he spoke rapidly, issuing a warning to Yang Sheng and the other two beside him.
"Oh no! Get out of the way!"
At the same time, Gao Ya's shouts also rose from the crowd.
Her eyes widened suddenly, and she shouted almost instinctively. The sound echoed in the open space, carrying an undeniable sense of urgency.
Before she finished speaking, her figure shot forward like a gust of wind, rushing to the very front of the group.
Gao Ya gripped the hilt tightly with both hands and, with all her might, plunged the giant sword heavily into the ground.
At that moment, the Crimson Moon Blade's skill was activated, the ground trembled slightly, and then a dazzling red protective shield suddenly rose up.
Like a blazing fire flower on the battlefield, she tightly enveloped a group of players around her.
At the same time, Shen Qing also acted quickly.
He rapidly formed hand seals, silently chanting incantations, and a scorching aura filled the air.
As the incantation was completed, a dazzling fire shield rapidly solidified before his eyes, the flames burning fiercely like the blazing sun in the sky.
Seeing this, Shao Siyuan and his three companions, who were not far away, took off running behind Shen Qing. The other players were not stupid either, and they all followed suit.
Yunye, like a ghost, moved from the center of the battlefield to the edge in an instant, disappearing into the darkness and vanishing without a trace.
The other players were not novices either; they had experienced countless life-or-death trials and struggled back from the brink of death several times.
Therefore, without much verbal reminder, everyone quickly adjusted their state and threw out the powerful defensive items in their hands.
The giant skeleton over there doesn't care whether you're ready or not.
Having completed its energy accumulation, it suddenly swung its spiked club, slamming it heavily onto the ground with a force powerful enough to shake mountains.
At that moment, time seemed to stretch out infinitely. The instant the spiked club made contact with the ground, it unleashed a deafening roar, sending dust flying and scattering gravel everywhere.
A massive circular shockwave spread outwards at an astonishing speed, tearing apart the paving stones of the square inch by inch.
Immediately afterwards, the shockwave struck the players' defensive items with devastating force.
"boom!!!"
The enormous sound reverberated throughout the entire space, and the underground city seemed to shake.
"Pfft~ cough cough cough~"
After a while, Sui Feng suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He spat out the slightly fishy-smelling dust from his mouth and busied himself searching for his sister in the square.
"Ah Ying? Ah Ying?"
A few seconds later, a muffled voice came: "Brother, I'm here."
Sui Feng turned his head and saw Sui Ying kick the stone slab off her body and stand up from under the mound of earth.
He glanced up and down, and after not seeing any wounds, he breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Xiao Jin's crystallized armor shattered, and because her spiritual power had reached zero, the [Silver Starry Sky] skill could not be maintained.
However, Xiao Jin did not dodge the attack. With the help of her crystallized armor, the protective shield of her coat [Ash Feather], and several defensive items on her body, she managed to withstand the blow.
However... the situation on the field is not good.
Top players and a small number of mid-to-upper-level players successfully survived, but the rest of the ordinary players had insufficient defense.
With the help of Gao Ya and others, they managed to escape with their lives, at most suffering serious injuries and losing the ability to move.
However, about a hundred people were instantly killed by the giant skeleton's attack.
At this point, only one guard remained in the palace—the head guard.
"Ouch~ That's terrible!"
Yang Sheng was lucky; he only suffered a scratch on his arm, at least his arm was still intact, and he didn't die.
After getting up, he decisively stood behind Xiao Jin.
He had just seen it; the other players were either terrified and seeking refuge, or frantically pulling out items to defend themselves.
Those big shots are the same; they're all practically turning into old hens.
As it turns out, this guy not only overcame the difficulties with the help of props, but if he wasn't mistaken, Xiao Jin seemed to be thinking of taking advantage of the giant skeleton's attack stun to slash it back!
What does this mean? This is what a true master looks like!
In fact, Yang Sheng's observations were quite meticulous.
Xiao Jin smacked her lips, feeling a little disappointed.
The giant skeleton reacted too quickly; after attacking, it immediately raised its spiked club to defend itself, and Xiao Jin lost his chance to attack.
but……
Xiao Jin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Just now, the giant skeleton's hasty retreat inadvertently exposed a fatal weakness.
The instant it condensed into a shockwave, a fierce wind arose, forcing nearby players to avoid being injured by the raging air currents.
But Xiao Jin had caught a glimpse of something; for what seemed like a fleeting moment, she caught a strange flash of light at the location of the giant skull's navel.
At the same time, Xiao Jin recalled that when the players attacked the giant skeleton, the opponent's weapon was always held in front of its abdomen, and when it returned to defend, it was still protecting its navel.
That's not right. In a critical moment, a person's reflexive protection is usually of their head.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Jin looked directly at the giant skull's navel, but when he met a tattered apron, his face instantly darkened.
It turned out that a tattered apron was casually tied around its waist at some point. The apron was worn out and had a few tattered strips of cloth hanging from its edges, which cleverly concealed the large skull's belly and lower abdomen.
Haha, the game even knows how to protect the players' physical and mental health, that's pretty thoughtful!
However, Xiao Jin was certain that while the giant skeleton might have missed something earlier, he was definitely not seeing things.
Now that there's an 80% chance of finding the weakness, the rest is easy.
