Lin Yuan's role
After Ling Yi issued the command, the ranged Professionals began attacking the Tank Bugs.
The melee Professionals were not idle either.
Operating Crossbow Carts and acting as gunners, everyone performed their duties.
Thirty Tank Bugs were all instantly killed before they could even get within fifty meters of the city wall.
Behind the Tank Bugs,
was the weakest unit of the Zerg—the Tier 1 Tiao Ling Insect, commonly known as Little Dog.
[Tiao Ling Insect] (Tier 1 Ordinary)
[Level: LV20]
[health points: 10000]
[attack power: 800]
[defense: 200]
[Skill 1 (Acceleration): Movement speed increases by thirty percent, lasting 10 seconds, cooldown 30 seconds]
[Skill 2 (Incubation): Sleeps for 24 hours, can incubate five LV10 Tiao Ling Insects, limited to 1 use]
As the lowest-level cannon fodder for the Zerg,
Tiao Ling Insects reproduce extremely quickly.
If they were given some time, they could easily incubate hundreds of thousands or even millions of Tiao Ling Insects.
Fortunately, the lifespan of the Tiao Ling Insect is very short, only seven days.
If the Tiao Ling Insect's lifespan were longer,
the Zerg would probably already be the overlords of the universe.
"Mages prepare Deceleration Skills, ranged focused fire."
"Melee, move to the city wall and prepare defenses."
The number of Tiao Ling Insects was massive, five thousand of them.
And their speed was incredibly fast; within a few breaths, they were already within fifty meters of the city wall.
Ling Yi raised his hand and cast Blizzard on the inevitable path.
In an instant, a terrifying Blizzard appeared within thirty meters of the fortress.
Ling Yi's magic strength was 300 points, and Blizzard could deal 2600 points of magic damage per second.
It would also double against targets that were frozen.
Once the 6-second duration passed,
there were no living Tiao Ling Insects left in front of the fortress.
"Holy crap, what skill was that? The range is enormous!"
"Not only is the range huge, but the damage is terrifying. It killed a large swath of Little Dogs in just two hits."
"It must be an S-rank Skill. Only an S-rank Skill can be that awesome."
Many Professionals were discussing the Blizzard that Ling Yi had just cast.
Ling Yi remained expressionless, but if you looked closely, you could still see the joy in his eyes.
[The second wave of attack will arrive in 15 minutes]
"Ten minutes to quickly clean up the battlefield." Ling Yi opened the gates of the fortress and allowed the Professionals to collect the spoils of war.
Regarding the spoils of war, Ling Yi was not worried about anyone pocketing them privately,
because the Dungeon would rank everyone based on their contribution.
In the first wave of attack, Ling Yi, as the commander, had the highest number of kills.
His contribution score was 500 points.
The Archer next to him named Hu Sanming killed 2 Tank Bugs and 86 Little Dogs; his contribution score was 67 points.
Lin Yuan did nothing just now, so his contribution score was 0.
While others were collecting the spoils, Lin Yuan stood with his arms crossed and asked Ling Yi,
"How many waves of attacks are there in total?"
"Based on past experience, there are nine waves in total, and a Zerg BOSS will appear every three waves."
Ling Yi turned his head and looked at Lin Yuan.
"How about it? This place is different from an Ordinary Nightmare Dungeon, isn't it?"
"You might be able to solo a Regional Nightmare Dungeon, but here, you might not even be able to withstand one wave of attack."
"No matter how strong one's personal strength is, it's still insufficient in the face of the Zerg Army."
Ling Yi did not mention the most crucial point:
you not only have to face the Zerg attack but also guard the rift to prevent the bugs from running out of it.
One hundred Professionals combined are already struggling greatly.
For one person to face such a number of the Zerg Army would be akin to a praying mantis trying to stop a carriage.
"It is somewhat different." Lin Yuan smiled and said nothing more.
Ordinary Dungeons might restrict Lin Yuan due to terrain and mechanics,
but the Insect Nest before them had no such concerns.
Take Undead Summoning, for example.
Lin Yuan could summon as many as he wanted.
If given some time, Lin Yuan could definitely raise an Undead Army numbering over a million.
However, given the current situation, there was no need to summon the Undead.
Killing bugs also didn't grant experience.
Low-level attribute essence offered little improvement to Lin Yuan.
Only one type of attribute essence of the same tier could be used.
This means that if you use a crystal that increases Agility by 1 point, you cannot use the perfect attribute essence.
Lin Yuan, being someone who pursues perfection, must choose the best perfect attribute essence.
Moreover, Lin Yuan could buy what he wanted with money.
There was no need to compete for resources with these Ordinary Professionals.
[The second wave of attack is incoming, please prepare for battle]
The bugs in the second wave were still Tank Bugs and Little Dogs,
but the number had tripled:
100 Tank Bugs and ten thousand Little Dogs.
They were densely packed, looking quite chilling.
Just as the attack began,
A'lan tugged on Lin Yuan's sleeve and whispered,
"Master, I hate bugs."
"Can I kill all these Zerg?"
Lin Yuan turned around and saw A'lan's eyes glowing green.
If he answered yes, Lin Yuan could guess that A'lan would jump off the city wall immediately,
and then transform into a War Ancient Tree to rush into the swarm and slaughter them.
Thinking of this thrilling scene, Lin Yuan quickly shook his head.
"No need to rush yet," Lin Yuan replied softly.
Seeing A'lan look a little disappointed, Lin Yuan comforted her,
"Wait until these people can't hold on before you make your move."
"You are the trump card; let these small fries deal with them."
Upon hearing this, A'lan immediately broke into a happy smile.
"Master, are you tired? Let me give you a massage."
A'lan extended her fair fingers and began kneading Lin Yuan's shoulders.
Many Professionals who saw this scene showed expressions of envy.
"Holy crap, he even gets this kind of treatment. What is his background?"
"What's the matter, has the countryside been without internet these past few days? You don't know who this is."
"That is Great God Lin Yuan, the ruthless person who soloed a Regional Dungeon. The pinned post on the Professionals Association forum was written by him."
A Professional recognized Lin Yuan and immediately told the others about Lin Yuan's deeds.
"Do you know that the Professionals Association has recently added a Dungeon called the Blood Ring Arena?"
A warrior with a slicked-back hairstyle's eyes lit up.
"I know about that. My cousin was there two days ago."
"I heard that Great God Lin Yuan was the one who created this Blood Ring Arena Dungeon."
"One person challenged four Tier 4 Ace Gladiators in Deathmatch mode, and the last one was even a Tier 5 Glorious Gladiator."
"He is simply invincible."
While many Professionals were surprised, they also raised questions.
"No matter how strong he is, he is only Level 20 and hasn't even completed his Class Transfer Mission. What is the point of him being here?"
As they were talking, the Tank Bugs entered attack range.
Ling Yi swung his right arm forward, "Attack!"
The Professionals began attacking in an orderly manner.
However, the number of Tank Bugs in this wave was three times that of the previous wave.
The Professionals on the city wall tried their best,
but they still couldn't clear the Tank Bugs before they approached the wall.
Seeing this situation, Lin Yuan raised his hand and summoned Ghost.
"Ghost, Bloodthirst Art, cover the entire field."
Ghost opened and closed his mouth, letting out a "Jie jie jie" laugh.
Forty thousand mana points vanished, and Bloodthirst Art instantly enveloped the entire field.
Red light flashed simultaneously over the bodies of the one hundred Professionals.
Movement speed, attack speed, and Casting Speed were all increased by fifty percent.
