Chapter 78

"Please wait a moment, everyone..." Earl Dehua Rien lay on the ground, speaking in pain, "Half-dragon Didi Xite was already a very powerful monster. Since Haijia has brought back the power of the demigod Moragues, Didi Xite will certainly become even more powerful. If this continues, the City of Divine Protection will also be in danger. You must defeat him."

"Of course, a boss of the Abyss level can't be weak," Li Huailin said, indicating that the man was just stating the obvious.

"Haijia not only brought back the power of the demigod Moragues but also the power of darkness. This must be a plot by the forces of darkness," Earl Dehua Rien continued. "I have no way to counter the power of the demigod Moragues, but I can use the power of holy light to counter the power of darkness."

After saying this, Earl Dehua Rien, with his trembling hand, slowly handed over his sword: "This sword has been blessed by holy light. If Didi Xite uses the power of darkness in battle, stick this sword in the ground. It will help you dispel the dark power."

"Oh, is that so." The Red Moon at the front nodded and took the knight's sword.

"What attributes does it have?" Li Huailin asked.

"No attributes, it's not an equipment item, but a quest item. After using it, you can stick it in the ground to resist the power of darkness. That's all it does," Red Moon said after checking the attributes of the knight's sword.

"The system is really stingy. I thought it would give us some equipment."

"I am severely injured and cannot fight for now. You must defeat Didi Xite. If you do, his army of lizardmen will scatter without a fight, and humanity will win this battle," Earl Dehua Rien said with some excitement. "Go, heroes of humanity."

"There doesn't seem to be much more to the story. Everyone, get ready to go in," Red Moon said, looking at the Earl Dehua Rien who was lying on the ground and no longer speaking.

As soon as they entered the town center hall, the scene changed dramatically. The town hall was already in ruins, and now the broken walls were covered with a black substance. The material looked very unpleasant, like something that had solidified from a sticky substance, making it extremely revolting.

The entire town hall was covered with this black substance, and on top of it were many white eggs. These eggs were large, about half the height of a person, and there were quite a few of them, standing upright. It was obvious that these were the eggs of the lizardmen.

"Damn..." Li Huailin looked at the vast number of eggs and sighed.

"I was also surprised the first time I came here. With so many eggs, someone with arachnophobia might not be able to handle this dungeon," Red Moon said on the side. "But there's not much difference from a regular dungeon."

"I'm not amazed by the number of eggs. I just find it strange. Haijia is clearly human, so how did she produce so many eggs? Don't you find it strange?" Li Huailin asked.

"Hmm?" Red Moon thought for a moment. "You're right."

"In reality, there's no way to prove that a human and a half-dragon can't produce eggs, because half-dragons don't exist," Red Dust and Rain said on the side. "It's just a game, so don't take it too seriously."

"Alright, let's not worry about whether it makes sense. I'll talk about the small monsters first," Red Moon said, clapping his hands.

Speaking of the small monsters, Li Huailin had already seen a few lizardmen walking around on the other side and had used a detection skill to check them.

Flame Lizardman Breeder (Abyss): Level 20, HP: 4000, Physical Attack: 140, Physical Defense: 75, Magic Attack: 100, Magic Defense: 75. Can use the Flame Spray skill, has high resistance to fire magic, and is weak against frost spells.

"The breeders are also warrior-type monsters. They don't cast fireballs but can use the Flame Spray skill," Red Moon said. "Their aggro is separate, not in groups, so you can only pull one or two at a time."

"Isn't that pretty simple?" Red Fei Cuiwu asked on the side.

"These monsters aren't very strong. I checked their attributes, and they don't seem as powerful as the elite warriors outside. However, they have a troublesome skill. They can catalyze the hatching of nearby lizardman eggs, summoning several more lizardmen each time. The newly hatched lizardmen aren't as strong as the elite lizardmen, but there are many of them, about seven or eight at a time," Red Moon said. "I don't know if the Abyss dungeon will have more, but it's best not to. Mages can only learn area-of-effect spells at level 20, and Rain is only level 17, so she can only use single-target attacks. If there are too many, we won't be able to handle the small monsters."

"That's true. Area-of-effect attacks aren't reliable right now. Warriors can learn Sweeping Strike at level 10, but the cooldown is too long, making it unsuitable for group attacks," Li Huailin nodded.

"Let's see how many they summon first," Red Moon said, then turned to Li Huailin. "Do you want to tank or should I?"

Li Huailin was still wearing the full set of fire resistance gear, so Red Moon asked him.

"Um..." Li Huailin thought for a moment. "I'll tank from now on. With the gear, my attack power is higher, and I'm pretty good at tanking. You can also use a two-handed sword for damage. It feels more convenient this way."

Li Huailin hadn't expected the Abyss dungeon to be so difficult, but after the battle with Haijia, he had to take it seriously. He started considering everything he could.

"Alright." Red Moon nodded.

Finding the nearest breeder, Li Huailin charged forward, starting with a critical hit from Heroic Strike, immediately pulling the breeder's aggro.

-1470

With the gear, Li Huailin's strength had increased significantly, and his attack power was extremely high, cutting off a third of the breeder's health with one strike.

"Intruder!" The flame lizardman breeder shouted and began to counterattack.

-201

The breeder's physical attack was decent, dealing about 200 damage to Li Huailin, who had high physical defense, but it wasn't a big deal. After the first attack, the breeder began to use its signature skill to summon lizardmen from the eggs.

"Come and help me!" The breeder waved at a nearby egg, which immediately burst open, and a lizardman covered in sticky fluid crawled out.

Li Huailin immediately used a detection skill to check.

Flame Lizardman Recruit (Abyss): Level 20, HP: 3000, Physical Attack: 120, Physical Defense: 35, Magic Attack: 100, Magic Defense: 35. Can use the Flame Spray skill, has high resistance to fire magic, and is weak against frost spells.

"Their health is low, and they're quite fragile, probably because they don't wear armor," Red Dust and Rain said after checking.

"Let's take out this breeder first, or it will keep summoning," Red Moon shouted.

Sure enough, the breeder immediately used its skill on another egg, and another lizardman hatched. The newly hatched lizardman had no aggro and immediately charged at the nearest target, Red Fei Cuiwu.

"Red Moon, hold the small ones, I'll take out this breeder first," Li Huailin said immediately.

"Alright." Red Moon nodded and charged at the newly hatched lizardman.

Fortunately, the breeder's health wasn't very high, and Li Huailin's attacks were powerful. With the help of Red Dust and Rain's Frost Arrows, the breeder was taken down in a few seconds. However, three more lizardman recruits were now on the field, attacking Red Moon with their claws.

"Thankfully, there are only three," Red Moon sighed in relief. "It seems that as long as we focus on taking out the breeder, we can handle it. Three small monsters aren't too many. Let's clear them one by one."
