Chapter 276 Can't carry it, really can't carry it!
The wind stopped.
The eerie wind that had whipped up a shower of paper money eerily subsided.
The entrance to the Mausoleum of a Thousand Lights was unusually quiet.
The ten-minute preparation time has come to an end.
"Buzz—"
A muffled hum echoed through the space.
The spatial rift has covered the original entrance to the Tomb of a Thousand Lights instance, transforming it into a bottomless, ever-rotating dark vortex.
A violent energy, like a flood bursting its banks, gushed forth from it!
"Waaah—"
A mournful horn sounded from the depths of the vortex, carrying ancient resentment and bloodshed.
The next second, an army composed entirely of undead emerged from the darkness with orderly and heavy steps!
At the forefront was a skeletal warhorse, its rider wielding a rusty lance, its empty eye sockets burning with eerie blue soul fire.
Their bodies were covered in tattered armor, with bloodstains and marks from who-knows-how-many years ago still visible.
Closely following behind were countless skeletal infantrymen, wielding bone knives and bone spears.
Some even carried rotten flags, the Meng family emblem on which had long been blurred by darkness.
Behind the infantry formation were the much larger, slower-moving Frankenstein's monsters.
【Grievous Knight】, Level 38, Elite.
[Skeleton Warrior], Level 35, Elite.
【Stitched Abomination】, Level 40, Elite.
An army of undead, whose lowest level was all elite monsters of level 35, was so large that it almost completely filled the vast open space in front of the tomb.
For the players of Thousand Light City, whose average level is currently less than 30, this is indeed a natural disaster capable of wiping out the entire city.
However, Chen You's expression remained unchanged in the face of this terrifying army, which was enough to instantly collapse any player guild.
He simply raised his head calmly and glanced at the slowly burning Heavenly Jade Incense.
"Time is tight, and the task is heavy!"
Before he finished speaking, he made a light gesture with his right hand, fingers pointing like a sword.
"Clang!"
With a clear and melodious sword cry, the Jade Emperor Sword flew out of his body and hovered in front of him.
The sword shimmered with golden light, emanating a pure and sacred aura that instantly dispelled the surrounding chill.
"go."
Chen You uttered a single word.
The Jade Emperor Sword instantly transformed into a golden lightning bolt, plunging into the black torrent of undead.
The Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique - Chaotic Stars!
Without the slightest hesitation, Chen You immediately activated the most efficient map-clearing mode.
The golden lightning bolt exploded violently the instant it entered the enemy formation!
In an instant, the entire entrance to the instance seemed to be enveloped by a dazzling galaxy.
Thousands upon thousands of tiny golden sword lights, like a living meteor shower, covered the vanguard of the undead army indiscriminately with sharp whistling sounds!
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only the dense, muffled sounds of sword light piercing bones and extinguishing soul flames.
Those resentful knights who had just stepped out of the spatial rift, full of rage, couldn't even run ten meters.
Both men and horses were instantly riddled with countless sword beams.
The soul fire in their eye sockets flickered violently twice before going out completely, and their tall bodies collapsed with a crash, turning into a pile of scattered bones.
Where the sword light passed, bones turned to dust, and soul flames were extinguished.
That galaxy of golden fire was like a highly efficient harvester, precisely reaping this "wheat field" of the dead.
With his hands behind his back, Chen You hovered in mid-air, calmly surveying everything below.
A barrage of system notifications flooded the screen like a waterfall.
You have defeated the [Grievous Knight], gaining 1200 experience points.
You have defeated the [Skeleton Warrior], gaining 980 experience points.
You have defeated the [Grievous Knight], gaining 1200 experience points.
……
A massive amount of experience points surged into his body, and the experience bar began to advance at a visible speed.
"The efficiency is not bad."
Chen You nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction with the clearing ability of the "Heaven-Breaking Sword Technique".
However, he did not indulge in the thrill of scrolling through the screen.
His divine sense was highly concentrated, manipulating the sky full of sword light, reaping the dead while precisely controlling the attack range.
While keeping the vast majority of "sheep" in their own "slaughterhouse," they always intentionally leave a loophole at the edge.
Every few seconds, a small group, about a dozen monsters, would "luckily" escape from the edge of the Sword Light Galaxy.
These "released" spirits seemed to know the terror of the golden galaxy behind them, and they dared not turn back.
Driven only by an instinctive hatred for the living, he ran madly toward the distant Thousand Light City.
Chen You was high in the sky, so they naturally couldn't attack him.
"We have to send a batch over, otherwise Ximen's show won't be able to be performed."
He thought to himself silently.
When I, Chen You, speak, I always mean what I say.
If they say there's a ghost general sneaking around to raid our base, then there must be one!
As for whether there is any magical artifact... the final interpretation rests with the system.
Time flew by in this tedious yet efficient harvesting process.
The undead pouring out from the spatial rifts seemed endless, while Chen You's sword light and starry river never stopped.
I don't know how much time has passed.
A dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from Chen You, shooting straight into the sky and forming a huge pillar of light.
[Ding! Congratulations! You have reached level 28! You have gained 5 attribute points!]
……
With the infusion of massive amounts of experience, his level began to skyrocket.
Level 29!
Level 30!
Level 31!
When the golden light shone for the fourth time, pushing his level to 32, Chen You slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the Heavenly Jade Incense stick, which had been burning for who knows how long, finally burning to its end.
As the last wisp of smoke rose, the violent aura of the underworld completely dissipated.
The energy in the spatial rift began to become unstable, and the endless torrent of the dead finally showed signs of stopping.
"Is it almost over...?"
Chen You felt a slight pang of regret; such a leveling feast could never be too much.
However, just as he was about to sheathe his sword, a system announcement that resounded throughout the entire Thousand Light City area suddenly rang out without warning.
[World Event (Thousand Light City Region) Announcement: The west gate of Thousand Light City is under attack! The undead army is attacking the city gate! City Lord Mengde requests adventurers' assistance!]
[World Event (Thousand Light City Region) Announcement: The west gate of Thousand Light City is under emergency! ...]
[World Event (Thousand Light City Region) Announcement: The west gate of Thousand Light City is under emergency! ...]
The three consecutive announcements in bold red text stunned Chen You.
He stopped what he was doing and hovered in mid-air.
He slowly turned his head and looked in the direction of Qianguang City. A crack appeared on his calm and composed expression.
The number of dead he released, all in all, is less than 10% of the total!
While it is indeed a challenge for ordinary players, there should be tens of thousands of players gathered on Ximen's side, including elites from major guilds.
So many people, yet he managed to break through the defenses with those few "remnants" he let through?
Chen You remained silent for a moment, only one thought popping into his mind.
"No... you couldn't even handle such a small monster?"
"Are they all just slacking off?"
