Chapter 19 Challenge Hard Level Dungeon 2
Lin Tian walked forward, passing through a passageway filled with the stench of burning and blood. The cave space before him was even more desolate than the normal difficulty level.
The pool of murky blood in the center was larger and dark red in color.
Surrounding the pool of blood were no longer ten, but a full fifteen elite monsters, much larger in size, with muscles as hard as iron and fur gleaming with a cold metallic sheen!
Their eyes were even more ferocious, and their claws and fangs seemed to be forged from fine steel.

[Description: Elite gray wolves, tempered by the raging energy of their lair, possess bones of steel and incredible speed; they are pure killing machines!]
The fifteen elite gray wolves turned their heads simultaneously, their cold gazes locking onto Lin Tian.
Without any hesitation, eight of them instantly activated [Rapid Enhancement], transforming into eight silver lightning bolts that, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air, pounced from different angles at speeds far exceeding their previous ones!
The remaining seven heads dispersed, forming a faint encirclement and blocking Lin Tian's possible escape routes!
"All eight of them coming at once?!" Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat; the pressure was far beyond that of ordinary difficulty.
Just as the eight bolts of lightning were about to strike, Lin Tian pointed his staff at the elite warrior who was charging at the very front and moving the fastest!
"Freeze!"
call out--!
A stream of icy blue cold air shot out instantly!
-680!
Click!
The ice instantly covered most of its body, freezing it in place!
Lin Tian used the "ice sculpture" to slightly hinder the gray wolf's charge, while his body slid to the side and back like a ghost, narrowly avoiding the other seven claw attacks!
But there were too many gray wolves and they were too fast, so two of their claws still grazed him.
-1! -1!
Lin Tian's movements did not stop at all. While dodging, his staff had already locked onto a gray wolf elite that had landed slightly ahead of its target due to missing its target!
"Fireball!"
boom!
-1632!
The elite creature didn't even have time to scream before it was blasted to pieces by the raging A-level fireball! The aftershocks of the explosion swept through the surrounding area once again!
-489! -489! -489! (Splash damage)
The frozen elite had just broken free of the ice when it was met with another scorching fireball!
boom!
-1632!
Sold out instantly!
Lin Tian kept moving, as if dancing on a knife's edge, using the relatively open space inside the cave and the stalactites as cover.
While dodging the swift, wind-like attacks of the remaining elites,
At the same time, it was unleashing A-rank fireballs at a terrifying speed of one per second!
Each explosion was accompanied by the roar of the Gray Wolf elites and the sound of bones shattering.
Mana is plummeting again!
The medicine is still in CD.
Lin Tian's heart tightened. He could only rely on positioning and freezing spells to maneuver while waiting for his mana to recover naturally and for his potions to be off cooldown.
"Freeze!" As soon as the cooldown was over, Lin Tian immediately froze the other elite that was trying to get close!
Then create distance and wait for Fireball to cool down and for your mana to regenerate.
Fireball will be off cooldown in 1 second!
The fifteen elite gray wolves, under the combined effect of Lin Tian's freezing and fireball spells, and with their high defense, withstood sporadic damage, but the battle was prolonged and their mana was repeatedly depleted.
In the end, Lin Tian sacrificed nearly 100 health points to kill all the elite gray wolves.
[Ding! Killed an elite gray wolf (elite), experience points +75!]
[Ding! Talent 'Enhancement' triggered! Gain 1 'Enhancement Points'!]
……
After a short rest, Lin Tian continued deeper, passing through a cave filled with the thick stench of blood. The deepest part of the cave was filled with a suffocating aura of a king.
The animal bones covering the ground seemed to tremble slightly.
On that throne made of massive skulls, the crouching giant wolf was nearly a quarter larger than on normal difficulty!
Its fur has a metallic sheen of dark silver and deep gray, its muscles are like cast steel, and its dark golden vertical pupils reveal a cold and tyrannical gaze as if looking down on ants.
Surrounding it were no longer five, but a full eight, larger guards, covered in thicker and more ferocious bone armor, with eyes like cold blades!
They are like the most loyal guards, protecting their king.

[Description: The Wolf King's most elite guards, clad in heavy armor, skilled in battle formations, and the most steadfast executors of the Wolf King's will!]
"Roar—!!!" The Tyrant Wolf King gave Lin Tian no chance to catch his breath. Its dark golden pupils swept coldly over the intruder, and its blood-red maw suddenly opened!
[The Wolf King roars in triumph!]
"Buzz—!!!"
A terrifying sonic wave, containing an absolute will to rule and far exceeding the difficulty of ordinary attacks, crashed down like a tangible hammer!
Lin Tian felt as if his brain had been struck by a tremendous force, his soul was shaken, and his body instantly stiffened and he could not move!
[Fear for 1.5 seconds!]
At the same time, a dark red halo appeared on the Wolf King and its eight guards!
[Attack power increased by 10%! Lasts for 15 seconds!]
"Roar!!" The eight wolf king's guards, like war machines receiving ultimate commands, their eyes flashing with cold light, sprang up simultaneously with the enraged wolf king! Their division of labor was extremely clear, and their coordination was seamless:
The four heads launched [Charge and Stomp] from the front, like four heavily armored tanks, with the momentum to crush everything, blocking the front and attempting to repel Lin Tian!
Both sides launched a coordinated attack from the sides, their claws aimed straight for Lin Tian's vital waist and abdomen!
The other two launched a [Legion Coordination] from Lin Tian's blind spot behind him, completely blocking his retreat!
The wolf king's massive body carried the imposing force of a collapsing mountain, and its giant claws, gleaming with cold light, were already tearing through the air—[Earth-Splitting Rock-Shattering Claw] was ready to be unleashed! Its attack power reached a staggering 242 with the roar's boost!
-143! -143! -143! -143!
Four huge damage numbers exploded above Lin Tian's head in an instant!
Total damage exceeded 572 points!
Health points plummeted from 1130 to 558!
Even worse, the four guards charging head-on were already close, triggering the knockback effect!
Lin Tian staggered backward uncontrollably!
The moment the 1.5-second fear ended, Lin Tian felt his blood surging and his body becoming unsteady!
The Wolf King's [Earth-Splitting Rock-Shattering Claw] descended upon them with terrifying power that could tear the earth apart!
Three enormous, blood-red claw shadows covered all his space to dodge!
"We must create distance first!" The intense sense of crisis made Lin Tian's hair stand on end.
He suppressed the dizziness and, before the force of the knockback had completely dissipated, used it to retreat rapidly, simultaneously pointing his staff at a gray wolf guard at the forefront who had landed slightly heavier due to the [Charge Stomp]!
"Freeze!"
call out!
-680!
Click!
Successfully frozen for 2 seconds!
An ice wall has temporarily formed as an obstacle!
"Now! Fireball!"
Lin Tian roared, and his staff burst forth with intense light. An A-grade fireball roared out and slammed into the frozen guard!
boom!!!
-1632!
The frozen guards, along with the solid ice covering them, were blasted into fragments!
Sold out instantly!
The aftershocks of the explosion also affected two gray wolves nearby!
