Although the Nightmare Abyss is extremely dangerous and carries a high mortality rate, records for first clearances have been set for decades.
Therefore, if Gu Chen wants to claim the high rewards after clearing it, he can only aim for record-breaking rewards.
But this is the Abyss!
How can records be so easily broken?
The current record for a Nightmare Abyss clearance is 6 hours and 47 minutes, held by Liang Yi, the current Lord of Wancheng.
This was achieved by Liang Yi and his team at level 19. For ordinary professionals, this is nearing the limit; any faster is impossible.
However, for Gu Chen, he will definitely not stop there.
As they wandered through the dungeon, a few chimeras would occasionally leap from dark corners.
This posed no danger to Gu Chen and his companions, as a large number of vampire descendants were scouting ahead.
Bang!
A single shot fired, hitting the chimera's head directly, dealing over 8,000 damage.
A chimera is considered a form of undead, formed from the fusion of orc and dwarf corpses, and possesses strong resistance to both physical and magical damage.
Against a level 13 alien in the wilderness, a Blood Lord could deal around 12,000 damage per bullet.
However, upon a beast corpse, only a little over 8,000 remained, demonstrating its impressive defense.
Fortunately, the Blood Lord's damage was high enough, and its kill reset meant that any non-elite alien would be instantly slain by the Blood Lord.
Gu Chen summoned the Nightmare Lord to join the Blood Lord in the kill.
The Blood Descendants were in charge of the search, scouring every area of the dungeon, searching for every chimera hidden in the darkness.
While the Nightmare Lord's basic attack wasn't as good as the Blood Lord's, with the aid of his Nightmare minions, it could deal ten times the damage, instantly dispatching a level 13 chimera.
Bang!
The Blood Lord pulled the trigger, and a volley of bullets whizzed in, blasting the chimera to pieces.
Simultaneously, the Nightmare Lord flashed, completing the kill in an instant.
[Kill a LV.13 Chimera Corpse, +1560 Experience]
[Kill a LV.13 Chimera Corpse, +1573 Experience]
The rate of experience gain has significantly accelerated.
Compared to the 500 or 600 Experience gained by killing aliens in the wilderness, killing aliens in the Abyss grants three times as much Experience!
Furthermore, thanks to the presence of the Blood Clan's descendants, progress has been greatly accelerated, both in search and kill.
As the Blood Clan's descendants continued to advance into the dungeon, Gu Chen and the others soon arrived at a wasteland littered with bones.
The bones crunched beneath their feet as they walked.
"Is this... the first level of the main dungeon? So fast? Couldn't that mean we're almost at the Chieftain's corpse?"
Xu Xia glanced around and quickly recognized the area.
The Bone Dungeon has three levels, and the first is the most challenging. It contains the corpse of a high-level elite, the former Dwarf Chieftain, a formidable and formidable opponent.
Xu Xia immediately said, "To deal with the Beast Corpse Chieftain, we must first kill all the Beast Corpse Chimeras on the periphery. Otherwise, if we enter the main cell directly, we'll easily be besieged by Beast Corpse Chimeras."
"That's not right! Even with fifty Blood Clan descendants clearing the way, we wouldn't have reached the main cell this quickly. What happened? Did we get lost?"
Xu Xia's eyes flickered with confusion. He glanced at the people around him and saw that Gu Chen's face was calm, showing no sign of any abnormality from entering the main cell earlier.
Generally speaking, in the Abyss, it's best to kill the common aliens first, saving the elite ones for last. This makes killing them much easier.
Therefore, professionals who entered the Bone Burial Dungeon would first clear out the Beast Corpse Chimeras on the periphery. Once the common ones were cleared, they would enter the main cell to kill the Beast Corpse Chieftain.
This approach significantly reduced the difficulty of killing them.
Because the lowest-level creatures in the entire dungeon were the Beast Corpse Chimeras, killing them would earn experience points and level up. Once they leveled up, it would be much easier to kill the Beast Corpse Chieftain in the main cell.
Secondly, once all the ordinary aliens on the periphery are killed, the Beast Corpse Chief's combat power will be greatly reduced. This
is because the Beast Corpse Chief has a monster gathering skill. As long as he is in combat, he can gather monsters infinitely, continuously gathering Beast Corpses from the periphery to the main prison.
Once a professional is besieged by the entire dungeon's Beast Corpse Chimera, there is only one way out.
Therefore, ordinary professionals dare not enter the main prison first.
Gu Chen then said, "The Bone Burial Dungeon is special. All the aliens on the three dungeon floors must be killed to trigger the conditions for the final boss to appear."
"In other words, if we miss any alien, we will waste a lot of time searching for monsters. Unless we kill all the Beast Corpses, we will never see the final boss.
" "So I thought of another way. We will go to the main prison first and use the Beast Corpse Chief's monster gathering skill to summon all the ordinary Beast Corpses on the first floor of the dungeon. That way, we can kill them all as quickly as possible."
"What?" Xu Xia's face changed drastically. "You want to kill the Beast Corpse Chief first? In this way, all the corpses of beasts on the periphery will rush in. How should we fight them then? "
"Don't panic, just fight as you should."
Gu Chen waved his hand, and the tall figure of the Skeleton Golem appeared in the main prison. Black light spread outward from under its feet, inflicting [Extreme Exhaustion] on all the corpses present.
Then, the Nightmare Lord flew forward and constructed a deep dream in the main prison, encompassing all the corpses present.
"Ah--"
As soon as the deep dream unfolded, a shrill scream rang out in the main prison, and the dream energy caused continuous high damage to all the corpses in the main prison.
The health of the corpses dropped crazily, and they lost 10,000 blood points almost every second.
Seeing such an exaggerated damage effect, Xu Xia's eyelids jumped, and a strong sense of unreality filled his mind.
Lin Yuan, Lin Qingqing and Su Ran on the side saw Xu Xia's expression and nodded with great satisfaction.
Yes, this is the state, three parts confusion, three parts shock, three parts disbelief, and one part suspicion Life!
Lin Yuan recalled the first time he saw Gu Chen fight; he had the same expression on his face.
Area-of-effect explosive damage, while not an instant kill, could kill a large group in just two or three breaths. It was like mowing the lawn.
The chimeras in the main cell were ordinary aliens, but they were all level 16, with tripled health points. It was unrealistic to expect them to be instantly killed by the deep dream.
Furthermore, in this main cell, the heavyweight chieftain hadn't emerged yet.
At this moment, a series of dull thuds echoed from the darkness, followed by a regular vibration in the dungeon.
A powerful, violent aura suddenly erupted, approaching.
A short, stocky, black-haired corpse, its body covered in rotting flesh and hide, emerged from the darkness.
Its body was covered in large suture scars, like a spliced-together corpse.
Xu Xia's expression suddenly changed.
"He's out! It's the chief of the corpse clan!"
