166: Chapter 166 Obsidian Knight
"What are you all gathering here for? Have you finished today's tasks?!"
A sharp shout rang out, startling the students gathered outside the tower.
It turned out that too many people had gathered in front of the Coiling Dragon Pagoda, attracting the attention of the deans from various academies.
Guo Xi arrived beside Zhou Qingyu and the others. Upon hearing the reason, he was startled, "You mean Tang Mo has already been inside for more than ten hours?"
Zhou Qingyu and the other students from Zhenshan Academy nodded repeatedly.
Guo Xi and the other deans stared at the Coiling Dragon Pagoda, dumbfounded.
"How long did it take Zhan Wuji to reach the 90th floor last time?"
"One day."
"Do you think Tang Mo might break the record left by Zhan Wuji?"
Hiss~!
As soon as these words were spoken, a sound of gasping echoed through the scene.
The words of an academy dean carried enough authority.
If even the dean said so, the possibility was very high.
Zhu You's face felt even hotter. When Tang Mo first went in, he had spoken arrogantly, saying he wanted to see how many floors Tang Mo could actually clear. Now that even his own dean had come to cheer for Tang Mo, Zhu You couldn't hold it together.
"That doesn't prove anything, right? Maybe he's just staying in the tower for a bit longer," Zhou Qingyu argued stubbornly.
Guo Xi turned his head to see which idiot was talking.
Upon seeing it was a student from his own academy, he let out a long sigh, "Sigh, why are my own students so stupid?!"
Thinking of this, Guo Xi couldn't help but glare fiercely at Zhou Qingyu, "Forget it, I'll just pretend I didn't hear that."
Subsequently, Guo Xi turned around and joined the crowd waiting with the other deans.
Over here, Tang Mo had already dealt with all the fierce beasts on the 61st floor and was preparing to head to the 62nd floor of the Coiling Dragon Pagoda.
The fierce beasts on the 61st floor were slightly higher in level than those on the 60th, and the number remained at 20.
Tang Mo's poison god banner had already collected hundreds of high-level fierce beasts. Any one of them would be an explosive existence if placed in the real world.
Fortunately, after the poison god banner reached max level, the number of fierce beasts it could store increased significantly; it could easily hold thousands or even tens of thousands more.
The fierce beasts on the 62nd floor of the Coiling Dragon Pagoda had increased in level again, reaching level 810. The number remained twenty.
Tang Mo commanded the Highly Poisonous Skeleton to fight. Group battles were nothing to be afraid of.
Facing the Highly Poisonous Skeleton with its monstrous attributes, the twenty level 810 fierce beasts could resist for a moment, but were soon cornered and beaten up by hundreds of Highly Poisonous Skeletons, and were finished off in no time.
Another sixty-plus pieces of supreme-grade equipment, and 5 skill evolution scrolls and epic-grade skill advancement scrolls.
After Tang Mo recycled all the equipment, he began refining the corpses of these fierce beasts.
After refining all the fierce beast corpses, Tang Mo was sent to the 63rd floor.
Just like that, Tang Mo led the 110 Highly Poisonous Skeletons straight up to the 90th floor.
As the tower's floors got higher, the level and strength of the fierce beasts advanced by leaps and bounds. Relying solely on the Highly Poisonous Skeletons was clearly not enough. Usually, Tang Mo would only intervene when the Highly Poisonous Skeletons couldn't hold on.
However, accordingly, after the 80th floor, the rewards for clearing the levels became much richer. Tang Mo obtained 8 pieces of saint artifact-grade equipment just from that.
If this were taken out, the group of dean-level figures in the school would definitely fight over it.
However, due to the level, the attributes of the saint artifact-grade equipment in the Coiling Dragon Pagoda were not as good as what Tang Mo had on him, so Tang Mo didn't switch.
Arriving at the 90th floor, what met his eyes were hundreds of black knight statues.
They were each riding tall horses, with black robes almost covering the horses beneath them. Each knight held a black spear in hand.
When Tang Mo's figure appeared on the 90th floor, a red light flashed across the faces of the statues, and then, these statues all came to life.
The warhorses neighed continuously. All the knights shook off the dust on their bodies, then lined up in a triangular charge formation, eyeing Tang Mo covetously.
Tang Mo released his Scouting Technique immediately.
[Obsidian Knights] [Level: 1000] [Talent: Stone Skin] [Strength: 180 Zetta] [Agility: 179 Zetta] [Spirit: 180 Zetta] [Stamina: 181 Zetta] [Skills: Cross Charge (Lv1000), V-Charge (Lv1000), Knight Spear Technique (Lv1000), Damage Conduction (Lv1000), Rebirth (Lv1000)].
The Obsidian Knights didn't have many skills, but it was clear they were all formation-based charge skills, matching their profession perfectly.
Moreover, each skill had reached level 1000, and the damage was quite impressive.
The lead Obsidian Knight raised the spear in his hand high.
With a "clang", hundreds of black spears were raised towards the sky simultaneously.
"V-Charge!"
Seeing the lead Obsidian Knight give the order, hundreds of Obsidian Knights instantly lined up and charged towards Tang Mo and the Highly Poisonous Skeletons.
If he relied solely on the Highly Poisonous Skeletons, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold them off.
The attributes of these Obsidian Knights crushed the Highly Poisonous Skeletons. A single charge would likely take them out directly.
Tang Mo quickly chanted a spell. The next second, a nearly tangible Poison Earth Hidden Golden Body enveloped Tang Mo and the Highly Poisonous Skeletons.
After reaching the max level, the Poison Earth Hidden Golden Body could withstand a maximum damage of 16000% of Tang Mo's stamina, making it one of his highest defense skills.
Originally, Tang Mo wanted to release Poison Forest to restrict the knights' speed, but the speed of the Obsidian Knights was too fast, so Tang Mo could only subconsciously release the Poison Earth Hidden Golden Body to defend.
Clang!
With a loud noise, the charge of the Obsidian Knights slammed fiercely into the Poison Earth Hidden Golden Body.
Crack~!
A faint cracking sound came, and a visible crack actually appeared on the Poison Earth Hidden Golden Body!
Tang Mo was shocked. He didn't expect the damage of these Obsidian Knights to be so high; a max-level God-level Skill was almost unable to withstand it.
"I can't let them keep attacking. I must solve this quickly."
Tang Mo flipped his right hand, and a small, cute doll appeared in his hand.
Tang Mo threw it forward, and the poison spirit doll's figure instantly disappeared. The next second, it appeared beside the Obsidian Knights.
Boom, boom, boom~!
Three loud noises followed immediately. For a moment, the entire 90th floor was filled with dust.
The explosions continued. As long as the target was not eliminated, the poison spirit doll would keep multiplying like this. Every time they multiplied, they would attack the target again.
The sound of explosions went from near to far, and then from far to near.
Clang!
Another violent collision sound rang out.
At the same spot, a crack was actually forced open on the Poison Earth Hidden Golden Body.
It had to be said, the power of this knight's charge was truly not to be underestimated.
Moreover, after a round of bombing, these Obsidian Knights were completely unaffected!
Their defense was clearly exceptionally high.
