Chapter 688: Chapter 688: Black Warrior

The Valley of the Undead is in a harsh environment, yet it is like a treasure trove with valuable resources everywhere, simply waiting to be picked up with no effort at all.

The only thing that causes a headache is the Calamity Poisonous Fog permeating the whole valley. At the location where Song Jian currently is, the damage caused by the poisonous fog has reached as such that it decreases 30 Vitality Points per second. Even for a level 30 beefy warrior, their current vitality points wouldn’t exceed five thousand. They definitely won’t be able to linger here for long, as they would be forced to retreat soon.

“This Calamity Poisonous Fog has limited the development of the Valley of the Undead. I wonder if there’s any way to eradicate this poisonous fog or to become immune to the damage caused by it,” Song Jian thought to himself.

Since his innate skill can make him immune to the damage from this poisonous fog, there must be other ways to become immune to or mitigate the effects of this poisonous fog.

Right then, a hoarse voice came from the stone tower beside the Shadow River.

“Who dares to trespass the territory of the Undead Sorcerer, Lord Saramo?”

Song Jian looked up and saw a humanoid creature standing at the top of the dark tower, wearing a black robe and holding a bone wand;

The distance was too far for Song Jian to see the creature’s face, but he sensed a familiar aura from it.

“Undead Sorcerer?” A sneer appeared on Song Jian’s face: “Then why does it reek so strongly of the Abyss?”

Rumble~

The huge door at the base of the tower opened, and twelve Skeleton Warriors and a warrior wearing pitch-black armor, holding a two-handed giant sword, came out.

“Twelve level 32 Skeleton Warriors and a level 35 Elite BOSS Black Warrior?” Song Jian exclaimed in surprise, “You can actually control the Force of Death!”

Saramo, standing at the top of the stone tower, was radiating with a strong Abyssal Power, yet he was able to control these undead creatures. Clearly, he also possessed the Force of Death that allowed him to control the undead.

“Could it be that this Saramo has dual professions?” Song Jian frowned, his heart sinking. If the opponent could indeed control both the Abyssal Power and the Force of Death, the opponent’s strength wouldn’t just be a simple addition of the two. It would grow by geometrical multiples.

But if he didn’t eliminate the opponent, Song Jian wouldn’t dream of claiming the treasure-filled Valley of the Undead as his own.

“Twelve Skeleton Warriors are just ordinary monsters, the Black Warrior is a level 35 Elite BOSS with the power of a first-order. If it’s only these, I can still manage on my own, but there’s also Saramo… I have no idea if he’s an Abyssal Wizard or an Undead Sorcerer…” Song Jian hesitated.

Song Jian had grown significantly stronger now and wasn’t afraid of dealing with ordinary monsters, no matter how many came at him. However, facing two creatures with the power of a first-order at the same time would be quite challenging.

What’s more, Song Jian couldn’t identify Saramo’s specific attributes. He wasn’t clear whether Saramo was an Abyssal Wizard or an Undead Sorcerer. If a fight were to break out, there would be too many variables;

But just as Song Jian was hesitant, the Black Warrior and Skeleton Warriors at the entrance of the stone tower had already rushed towards him;

Without having to make a choice, Song Jian charged towards them, engaging in a fierce battle with these undead creatures;

Frigid Falling Snow!

With a swing of his sword forward, a flurry of large snowflakes suddenly fell from the sky. In a matter of seconds, a layer of snow more than half a foot thick quickly covered the ground;

The Black Warrior and Skeleton Warriors’ legs were buried deep in the snow, significantly slowing their movement speed down. They were also covered in a layer of frost, reducing their defense by 20%, and increasing the chances of inflicting critical hits by 10%.

Broken Wing Dance!

Song Jian lightly tapped his foot, charging towards a Skeleton Warrior. The effect of Ten Thousand Facets Sword Technique didn’t apply to him, so walking on the thick snow didn’t slow him down in the slightest;

With the flickering sword light, ordinary monsters were no match for Song Jian. In a short while, two Skeleton Warriors were chopped into fragments by Song Jian;

Just then, a glint suddenly shone in the Black Warrior’s crimson eyes, brandishing his bone sword that was now tinged with a reddish hue, hacking down towards Song Jian;

Bang!

His back received a heavy slash, causing him to stumble forward for several steps, while an indicator of over-300-point damage floated above his head;

Looking at the Black Warrior, it seemed to have shaken off the slowing effect of the snow, charging towards Song Jian like a heavy truck, plowing a path more than a meter wide through the thick snow;

Rage?

Song Jian squinted his eyes, brandishing his Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword, clashing in a fierce fight with the Black Warrior;

Though Song Jian had a significant advantage over the Black Warrior, the fight was still difficult due to the aid of the Skeleton Warriors. His Vitality Points quickly dropped below 60%.

However, Song Jian swiftly took down six Skeleton Warriors, and also depleted more than half of the Black Warrior’s Vitality Points;

“Defeating these creatures in front of me is merely a matter of time. The key is Saramo!” Song Jian couldn’t help but look up at the dark tower. To his surprise, Saramo, who had been standing at the top of the tower, had vanished.

“Damn it, the effects of the fog are too strong. It’s suppressing my senses. I didn’t even notice when he disappeared…” Song Jian furrowed his brows.

“Forget him, let’s clear these creatures in front of me first!” Song Jian quickly made a decision;

Light Strike!

A dazzling golden sword light slashed towards the Black Warrior. Against these undead creatures, Light Strike would inflict double damage and there was a high chance of it triggering critical damage;

Boom!

The golden Sword Qi heavily bombarded the Black Warrior’s chest, knocking him catapulted backward;

Damage of more than 1800 points floated above the Black Warrior’s head, reducing his vitality to critical conditions;

When a creature’s Vitality Points dropped below 10%, it would trigger a weakening state, with both movement and attack speed decreased by 30%;

Song Jian glanced at the struggling Black Warrior trying to get up, directed his sword against the remaining Skeleton Warriors. At this moment, the Black Warrior was no longer a threat to him. While it had not yet risen, it was better to take down these Skeleton Warriors first;
