The Beast Queen, a level 18 elite alien, expected to instantly annihilate the level 14 Undead Golem when she cast [Frenzy Charge].
However, the skill only cost the Undead Golem a little over 800 health points.
The Beast Queen's expression froze, and as she stared at the meager damage, a hint of bewilderment crossed her fierce gaze for the first time.
At level 14, the Undead Golem's health was 32,600.
Over 800 damage was practically negligible.
In fact, even as she was momentarily stunned, the health points she had just lost were restored right before her very eyes. The Beast
Queen was stunned, unsure how to fight.
Gazing at the towering Undead Golem before her, she felt a sense of despair she had never felt before.
Dozens of Beast Queen warriors had already gathered on the second floor of the dungeon, nearly forming a siege. Yet, the Beast Queen's scalp tingled.
The Bloodline Overlord and the Nightmare Lord had already charged into the horde of Beast Corpses. Even the Bloodline Descendants, who had remained relatively quiet, joined the fray.
The scene was clear, a near-one-sided slaughter.
The Bloodline Overlord fired furiously in the center, while the Nightmare Lord targeted the periphery. Their summoned beasts, one Legendary and the other Epic, were no match for these ordinary aliens.
While most Bloodline Descendants possessed attributes comparable to those of level 17 aliens, they possessed the instincts of Bloodline, speed, strength, and superior recovery abilities.
As a result, the main prison resembled a massive slaughterhouse.
The Beast Corpse Queen, upon witnessing this scene, erupted in anger. With a roar, a ring of purple-red blood erupted from her feet.
Streams of blood shot out at high speed, landing on the surrounding Beast Corpses. They roared in anger, their eyes gleaming with bloodlust, and their bodies swelled in size.
"This is the Beast Corpse Queen's skill, Beast Corpse Frenzy. It sends all Beast Corpse soldiers into a frenzy and grants a 30% damage bonus,"
Xu Xia reminded Gu Chen, standing behind Lin Qingqing's sturdy frame, not daring to even raise his head.
A 30% damage bonus is a rare achievement for ordinary professionals, and can even turn the tide of battle in some battles.
But buffing a bunch of weaklings by 30% still leaves them weak, with no real impact.
At best, it only slightly slows their death.
After about three minutes of fighting, over forty Beast Corpse soldiers lay dead on the ground under the relentless onslaught of summoned beasts.
The Blood Lord, without stopping, turned and attacked the Beast Corpse Queen, who was still locked in a fierce struggle with the Undead Golem.
The Beast Corpse Queen was the most rational being on the second floor of the dungeon, yet her behavior was somewhat difficult to describe.
To say she was irrational was to say she knew from the moment the battle began that the Undead Golem had to be killed first.
It had some sense, considering it was focused solely on scraping the Undead Golem, paying no attention to the battlefield.
A bit of sense, but not much.
This was Gu Chen's assessment of the Beast Queen.
"Ah—"
With a shrill wail, the Beast Queen, covered in black blood, died under the twin pistols of the Blood Lord.

Leveled up again!
Entering the First Stage of the Abyss at level 11, you gain the experience of five players all by yourself. This leveling speed is simply amazing.
Gu Chen glanced at the experience bar. The experience required for the next level-up had skyrocketed to 360,000, and the upgrade rate would likely slow down.
The Beast Corpse Queen dropped two pieces of equipment: a ring and an amulet.
[Mirror Image Ring]
[Quality: Rare]
[Level: LV.18]
[Attributes: Agility +10, Spirit +10]
[Effect: Creates two mirror images of the user, each possessing all the original's talents and skills, along with 80% of all attributes, and receiving 50% increased damage]
This 50% increase in damage meant the mirror image would be short-lived, but that was only for ordinary professionals or summoners.
For a Blood Lord, recovery was incredibly powerful.
After all, it was a Legendary summoned beast, so even if the mirror image only had 80% of the original's attributes, it was
more than enough to offset this drawback. This effectively gave him two powerful assistants.
Gu Chen equipped the Mirror Image Ring on the Blood Lord.
Then, he looked at the second piece of equipment.
[Destiny Amulet]
[Quality: Rare]
[Level: LV.18]
[Attribute: Constitution +15]
[Effect: Binds to a friendly unit. If its health drops below 30%, the friendly unit will bear all damage taken.]
"This is a life-saving artifact!"
Gu Chen didn't hesitate as he donned the Destiny Amulet and simultaneously bound it to the Vampire Overlord. The
Vampire Overlord's health pool already grew rapidly, and after his first bloodline awakening, his talents were enhanced, granting him 10 health points with each kill.
Combined, his health pool grew at an alarming rate, surpassing even the legendary Undead Golem by over 30,000.
After a brief rest, the Vampire descendants continued their journey, finding the entrance to the third floor of the dungeon in a secret chamber behind the second-floor main cell.
Compared to the first and second floors, the third floor seemed less complex.
Descending the stone steps, a wide passage stretched into the darkness.
Just as they were halfway through, a low roar echoed from the darkness.
Then, fifteen burly figures emerged with heavy steps.
Leading the charge were three beast corpses wielding massive hammers. Their bodies were covered in wounds stitched together from animal and human hides, their eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty, bestial gaze.
[Alien: Beast Corpse Warlord]

[Skill I: Bone Crushing Blow]
[Skill II: Hammer Trampling]
Level 19 Beast Corpse Warlords are more advanced test subjects than Beast Corpse Soldiers. According to the guide, their two skills are single-target burst and single-target control.
Beast Corpse Warlords are incredibly powerful, typically forming teams of five, meaning a team of Beast Corpse Warlords can unleash at least five control skills.
This is a disaster for a typical professional team; a single lapse in attention could easily lead to their demise.
And yet, Gu Chen encountered three teams of Beast Corpse Warlords upon entering the third floor of the dungeon!
His luck was truly terrible.
"Why are there three teams all at once?" Xu Xia's face paled for a moment.
Three teams, fifteen Beast Corpse Warriors, representing 15 control skills!
This also means being controlled for 15 seconds in the Nightmare Abyss!
Xu Xia shuddered, feeling a chill down his spine just thinking about it!
