Chapter 123: Su Jin’er’s Doubts

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Huh? This is… the summoning of the Skeleton Lords?”

Looking at the two skeleton lords that appeared under the city wall, Su Jin’er glanced at Mo Xiao in surprise.

Others might not know, but as a necromancer, she knew.

The Skeleton Lord Summoning Technique was a superior replacement for the Skeleton Soldier Summoning Technique, or rather, it evolved from the Skeleton Soldier Summoning Technique.

After all, she also had summoning skills similar to Mo Xiao’s.

Looking at Mo Xiao, Su Jin’er pondered for a moment, but in the end, she didn’t voice her doubts.

Su Jin’er didn’t think too much anymore. With a thought, she controlled all the skeletons to charge towards the shipbreakers.

At this moment, outside the city, Fang Chaoyang raised his longsword high and roared, “They’re only level twenty! Nothing to fear! Charge at them!!!” “Oh!!!”

With a chorus of responses, nearly four hundred professionals charged towards the shipbreakers simultaneously.

Although these monsters were only level 20, their numbers far exceeded the professionals guarding the city.

The number of monsters was three to four times that of the Professionals.

Since shipbreakers required several people to kill just one, the moment they clashed, the professionals’ formation was shattered.

Seeing this scene, Fang Chaoyang was also stunned. Before he could act, a dozen or so shipbreakers surrounded him.

Seeing the shipbreakers with murderous intent, Fang Chaoyang gritted his teeth and thought, “Sword Emperor! If you don’t come out, I’m going to die!”

“No, there’s an existence with abnormal soul perception nearby. I’ll be discovered as soon as I appear! You’re on your own!”

“Sword Emperor? Sword Emperor!!! F*ck!! Are you really just going to watch me die here?!”

However, no matter how Fang Chaoyang roared, the Sword Emperor did not respond. He was about to be struck by a shipbreaker’s massive hammer.

A huge skeleton suddenly appeared in front of him and took the blow for him.

Then two slashes came down, instantly killing the shipbreaker in front of him.

The terrifying damage frightened Fang Chaoyang. If it weren’t for the fact that it had killed the shipbreaker,

Fang Chaoyang almost thought that this guy was some kind of boss.

“Skeleton Lord?”

Fang Chaoyang gulped and cautiously looked at the massive Skeleton Lord. He had never seen such a powerful undead creature before.

“If you can’t win, then get lost. Don’t hinder us here.” At this moment, Mo Xiao’s faint voice came from the mouth of the skeleton.

“Mo… Mo Xiao?!” Hearing this voice, Fang Chaoyang’s face was filled with shock.

He could only see the name of the Skeleton Lord in front of him, but from the damage just now, he could tell that it was very strong.

He really didn’t expect this thing to be Mo Xiao’s summon.

Mo Xiao ignored Fang Chaoyang and controlled all the skeletons to charge at the shipbreakers again.

[You killed a shipbreaker and received 1 experience point.]

[You killed a shipbreaker and received 1 experience point.]

“Huh? How come I only got one point of experience?”

Looking at the system notifications that kept flashing, Mo Xiao frowned slightly, not understanding. This was a level 20 monster.

No matter how low the experience was, it should be a few hundred points. Wasn’t this a little too ridiculous?

Just as Mo Xiao was feeling puzzled, Su Jin’er directly explained, “Didn’t I tell you? Once the battle begins, this place will become a battlefield, and the rules will be exactly the same as the Tianyuan Battlefield.

“As long as you exceed these monsters by one level, the experience you obtain will be forcefully reduced to one point. At the same time, the experience you obtain from killing them normally will only be 50%. This is the limitation on us humans.”

Hearing Su Jin’er’s explanation, Mo Xiao finally understood and could only nod helplessly.

[Congratulations on killing 10 shipbreakers and obtaining 10 merit points!]

At this moment, the system notification lit up again.

Looking at Mo Xiao’s expression, Su Jin’er grinned and said, “Did you obtain merit points?”

“Yeah, ten points. It seems each shipbreaker only gives one point,” Mo Xiao nodded.

“Of course, this is the lowest-level monster in the third-level battle. Naturally, the experience is low,” Su Jin’er shrugged. “Wait until the bigger guys come out later. That’s where the high merit points are.”

As Su Jin’er spoke, she looked at the professionals who had successfully retreated to the city wall under the protection of the skeletons.

She continued, “These guys have come back. Let the skeletons withdraw, and attack when they’re almost at the city wall.”

“Alright,” Mo Xiao nodded and casually drew out a longbow he hadn’t used in a long time. Since they were targeting these monsters one by one, bows and arrows were the most convenient.

As for magic, the cooldown might not be so fast since he didn’t have a mage’s basic attack skill.

“A nice bow you’ve got there-” Looking at the longbow in Mo Xiao’s hand, Su Jin’er praised thoughtfully, “It seems like all your weapons are of high level. Do you really have such good luck?”

Mo Xiao said very casually, “Yes, it’s alright. I have an equipment that increases the drop rate. It might be because of that.”

“Is that so?” Su Jin’er smiled and did not say anything else.

On the other side, Fang Chaoyang sat on the city wall with a gloomy expression, lost in thought.

“Fang Chaoyang! Weren’t you bragging about how awesome you are? You nearly got us killed, you know that, right?”

Just then, Fang Chaoyang’s top lackey spoke up, his face full of anger as he confronted Fang Chaoyang.

“That’s right! You’re so great, and yet you almost got us killed!”

“Just because you’re the city lord’s son doesn’t mean you can treat our lives as nothing!”

“Oh! 1 remember now, that person over there is Mo Xiao! The super genius who killed elite monsters in one hit when he was level 5!!”

“What?! It’s actually Brother Xiao!! Damn it! Why didn’t you say so earlier! Almost missed a big opportunity to follow him!”

The group of lackeys chatted away and ran towards Mo Xiao.

“Ah- Looks like they’re coming to join us. What are you going to do?” Su Jin’er asked with a smile as she looked at the group of professionals rushing towards them.

“…” Mo Xiao glanced at the group in silence for a moment and said, “Get lost, one step closer and I’ll kick each of you down to feed the monsters.”

Hearing this, the people who were planning to butter him up and latch onto his support halted their steps. “Brother Xiao, we were just fools not to recognize you. Please forgive us and take us along, okay?”

“Enough with the nonsense. Either don’t disturb me or stay here and defend the city. Your choice,” Mo Xiao said coldly.

Upon hearing this, some of the people retorted, “You’re the commander! Who are you to ignore us?”

…” At that, Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow.

“Fine, I’m ordering you all to stay here and not move!”
